Han Dao world

Chapter 774
Xun Wenqian soon fell in love with the atmosphere of Yinfang.

Knowing that Xun Wenqian is also a nobleman in the palace, and that she is Xun Yu's daughter, the craftsman from Hedong first regarded her as one of his own.

Some people even said that when Xun Wenqian first came to the workshop, she felt that Xun Wenqian would become a member of the workshop sooner or later.

It does now.

Dong Wan and Song Du also welcomed Xun Wenqian's arrival.

Song Du was a little worried at first, fearing that Xun Wenqian would compete with her for control of the printing workshop, but she was relieved when she learned that Tongwenguan was also building a printing workshop.

The bookshop of Taixue alone kept her busy, and it was impossible for her to manage the bookshop of Tongwenguan.

After working in the workshop for a long time, Xun Chen came to dinner.

But Xun Wenqian told him that the emperor has no plans to let him go to the martial arts hall for the time being.They can only wait for Xu Shu to take a rest and meet outside the lecture hall.

Xun Chen was somewhat disappointed.

Xun Wenqian immediately took out some manuscripts and asked Xun Chen for pointers.

Xun Chen was a little puzzled after reading the manuscript. "Whose article is this? Is it the school of ancient prose? This kind of exegesis is very habitual."

"Does it make sense? How is the writing?"

"The writing is fairly clear, but the reasoning is not so brilliant. It is just empty talk and difficult to implement. It is probably similar to famous schools and Taoists. It cannot compete with my Confucian school."

"This was written by a sage from the Western Regions, and I translated it."

"There are still sages in the Western Regions?"

"This man is very famous in the Western Regions. He was like Confucius in his time. He is a link between the past and the future. He has a famous teacher and a high-ranking disciple. He is also called the Three Sages. His disciples are especially famous. They are knowledgeable, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. Master Alexander's teacher."

"Alexander?" Xun Chen was bewildered. "What kind of weird name is this? Are all barbarians like this?"

He had never heard of the name, let alone that all-round scholar, and he didn't think the barbarians in the Western Regions could have any real knowledge.

Xun Wenqian was a little disappointed.

She used to admire this uncle very much, but now she only has regrets. She feels that this uncle has little knowledge and is somewhat complacent, and has no curiosity about knowledge that she does not understand.

Although Xun Wenqian hid it well, Xun Chen still felt it.

"Wen Qian, it's a good thing that you are interested in learning. But learning is not only comprehensive, but also profound. If you dabble in the study of the Western Regions before you have mastered the Five Classics, you will inevitably have the suspicion of putting the cart before the horse."

Xun Wenqian quickly accepted it.

Mrs. Tang at the side saw it and felt very uncomfortable, so she asked a question unhurriedly. "Wen Qian, how far is the Western Region you're talking about from Chang Qian?"

Xun Wenqian thought about it. "It should be far away, but Alexander reached the west of Congling during his Eastern Expedition, so some of these articles were also circulated here. Many of the Western Regions classics in Tongwenguan came from the west of Congling, not the mainland of Greece. "

"How much is the distance from mainland Greece to Congling?"

"I don't know the details, but it's about the same as Yingchuan to Congling."

"That's too far away." Mrs. Tang was somewhat surprised. "It seems that people in the Western Regions, like me in Huaxia, were born in sorrow and died in peace. If the pressure was not as great as the mountain, how could they achieve such a feat? This is not something that can be achieved by sitting and talking every day."

Xun Wenqian looked embarrassed and glanced at Xun Chen uneasily.

Even a fool can tell that Mrs. Tang is mocking Xun Chen who only sits and talks.

Xun Chen lowered his eyebrows and didn't speak, just pretending he didn't hear.

Mrs. Tang said again: "The knowledge of this sage from the Western Regions must be studied carefully. In the future, he will assist the emperor and go to Greece, and let the world see. Although I, a woman from Yingchuan, can't ride horses and shoot, I can also assist the emperor and sweep the world. , an inexhaustible achievement."

Xun Wenqian was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to say it.

Xun Chen's heart moved, and he said, "Wen Qian, does the Son of Heaven have the ambition to conquer the world?"

Xun Wenqian thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "There should be. When Changqian traveled westward, he attached great importance to it, thinking that there was a legacy of his ancestors entering the Qin Dynasty. He also kept saying that although Huaxia originated in Hedong, it should aim at the world and should not Satisfied with the frontiers of today."

Xun Chen nodded slightly, with a smile in his eyes.

"How much do you know about the geography and humanities of the Western Regions?"

"It's not too much, just read some books and know a little bit. If uncle is interested, you might as well write to Changqian. What he saw with his own eyes in the Western Regions is beyond my comparability."

"Okay." Xun Chen agreed. "Can you make a copy of the articles and books you have at hand? I have nothing to do these two days, so I can read them and broaden my knowledge."

Seeing Xun Chen's sudden interest, Xun Wenqian was overjoyed, and immediately agreed to send someone to send it back.

She also suggested that Xun Chen go directly to Tongwenguan, which is currently translating classics from the Western Regions, and the number is far from comparable to the ones she has mastered.

Xun Chen was a little worried. The Tongwen Hall was in the palace, so he might not be able to get in.

Xun Wenqian smiled, and promised to ask the emperor to give Xun Chen a waist card to enter and exit the Tongwen Hall.

Although the Tongwen Hall is in the palace, people outside the palace are not prohibited from entering and leaving.In fact, Tongwen Museum welcomes everyone to visit, and the translated classics will also be published in the future.It's just that there is no Yinfang now, so it's unknown.

Xun Chen was very satisfied and in a good mood.

After dinner, Xun Chen left and took Xun Wenqian's translation with him.

Mrs. Tang stayed with Xun Wenqian.The two returned to the bedroom full of manuscripts and proofs. Xun Wenqian looked at the proofs like a treasure.

"Auntie, this house of yours is really a treasure trove, I don't even want to leave."

"Then you can stay for a few more days. When I go back to Hedong, this house will be left to you."

"Okay, okay." Xun Wenqian thought for a while, and then said: "No, it's better to leave this house to Song Guiren."

Madam Tang rubbed Xun Wenqian's head. "You are just too sensible. It would be great if your uncles were as sensible as you."

"Auntie, you can't say that. They have their own difficulties. Besides, isn't he changing too?"

"You think he's good at what he does?" Mrs. Tang snorted with a little disdain.

Xun Wenqian knew that Mrs. Tang had a lot of opinions about her uncles. As a junior, she was caught in the middle and couldn't speak.But after hearing Mrs. Tang's words, she thought about it and realized that Xun Chen's change of attitude was not due to knowledge.

Instead, they saw an opportunity.

If the emperor intends to conquer the world, the possibility of using troops against Jizhou will be greatly reduced.The use of troops will increase casualties, and it is better to conquer foreign countries together than to lose both.

In this way, Yuan Tan's chances of making peace with the imperial court greatly increased.

If Yuan Tan has the opportunity to conquer foreign countries, the chances of Ruying scholars to make meritorious service will also increase, and the possibility of being left idle will be small.

This result is beneficial to the imperial court, beneficial to Yuan Tan, and equally beneficial to Xun Chen and others, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Xun Chen came to Chang'an, didn't he just want this result?
No wonder he suddenly changed his attitude and became enthusiastic.

"Auntie, you are still thoughtful." Xun Wenqian was very excited. "When I go back to the palace, I should ask for credit for my aunt."

Mrs. Tang smiled slightly. "It's not that I'm thoughtful, it's just that I deal with these people every day, and I know what they really want under the face of benevolence and morality."
