Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 62: When a Scholar Becomes a Craftsman!
sunset.

The golden-red afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled from the sky, reflecting back on the glazed tiles on the palace walls and palaces, covering the world with a golden coat, which is extremely magnificent.

Outside the library of Dagan Palace.

Xiao Lin sent away the foreign scholars who came to the library to browse the materials, and asked Xu Yan with a smile: "How does it feel, is it a little different from what you thought?"

Xu Yan nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiao, don't make fun of me. I was the one who judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain before."

Originally, Xu Yan thought that the foreign scholars who came to the palace library must have bad intentions and came here to steal the advanced technology of the human race. Know the importance of hundreds of technologies.

However, when he really had close contact with these alien bachelors.

Only then did he realize how narrow his thinking was.

Although I don't want to admit it.

But Xu Yan had to admit that every foreign scholar who came to work was a wise man with profound knowledge and profound wisdom.

Even the worst one is a certain race and a leader in a certain field. Even if it is not as good as the academic masters in the Dagan Imperial Academy, it is not far behind. It is definitely not something that a scumbag like Xu Yan can slander.

Although Xu Yan has always believed in one sentence: "Science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland."

However, they have great respect for these foreign bachelors who are knowledgeable and have a strong spirit of exploration and research.

It is believed that the spirit pattern technology in this world can develop to the present state, and it is inseparable from their efforts and dedication.

"Hehe." Xiao Lin smiled and comforted him: "I can't blame you for this matter. In fact, you did a good job. These foreign scholars are indeed knowledgeable and rare wise men in the world, but they are not my race. However, what should be guarded against must be guarded against.”

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much about it, because it's impossible for me to stay in the Imperial Palace Library and Hanlin Academy with my true core skills and top master masters."

"The Imperial Palace Library and the Hanlin Academy are really so important, and it won't be all year round. Few people will come here."

Xiao Lin shook his head and said with a sigh.

It stands to reason that the Imperial Palace Library is the largest collection of books in the Daqian Dynasty, and the Imperial Palace Academy is also a gathering place for top talents in various fields. It should be very important, and there should be an endless stream of visitors.

However, the reality is not like this.

In the palace, there has always been a saying that dogs do not come in the palace library, and the Hanlin Academy has become a gathering place for nerds, almost reduced to the point where no one cares about it.

the reason is simple.

Let’s just talk about the palace library. Although there are many books in the library, most of them are ordinary classics. There is no practice method, and there is no elixir prescription pharmacopoeia. Those who are qualified to come are dismissed. Can't get in.

If things go on like this, it's no wonder it's not deserted.

Collect books, collect books!
To put it bluntly, it is a hidden book.

If we really want to make it look like a free library for future generations, can it still be called a collection of books?
The other is the Hanlin Academy.

The original Hanlin Academy was undoubtedly brilliant. Talented figures from various fields gathered here to discuss knowledge and conduct academic research.

However, with the continuous evolution of the atmosphere in the court, the emperors of the past dynasties have no longer attached importance to academic theoretical research, but more to skills that can be seen and touched, and can be transformed into money and strength.

Ever since, those capable academic talents were transferred to Shaofu Middle School, from bachelors to craftsmen, from scholars to craftsmen.

The rest are some nerds who only understand theory, like reading, but don't know how to make money, and can't get research funding.

Over time, the Hanlin Academy was abolished and became a Qingshui yamen for nerds.

Capable and capable people also shunned the Imperial Academy, and would not come if they were beaten to death. Only some scholars who had no connections or wanted to read the books in the palace library were willing to come.

That's why Xiao Lin shook his head and sighed, saying that the Imperial Palace Library and the Hanlin Academy were nothing worth pursuing, and that the real top masters of the Daqian Dynasty were not here.

When Xu Yan heard Xiao Lin sigh, he didn't know what to say.

He can understand what the Daqian court has done, but it is difficult to agree with it.

All academic talents have become low-level craftsmen, and all smart people have gone to become officials.

If things go on like this, how will the technology of the human race progress?

The most important thing is that the academic talents that the human race and the Daqian dynasty did not pay attention to were highly valued among the foreign races.

Look at the respect and respect that foreign scholars and mission members have for the members of the Hanlin Academy, and then look at the disdain and indifference of the emperor and officials for the Hanlin Academy.

What is the difference between this situation and the closed country in previous life history?
Xu Yan admitted that the human race can become the overlord of this world because of the high-end combat power of the human race, and there are many strong people at the level of immortal gods.

After all, even the strongest spiritual armor researched by the human race can only threaten the first-level warriors, and it is far from enough for the immortals.

But if a foreign race develops a spiritual weapon that can target the gods and gods.

However, the human race's psionic technology research has been stagnant.

How can the dominance of the human race be maintained?

Isn't it going to stage an alien-like "Eight-Power Allied Forces Invasion of China"?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help shaking his head, feeling a little disappointed with the high-level human race in this world.

Perhaps the Daqian Dynasty and the Terran have top institutions and teams secretly researching psionic technology in other places.

However, judging from the importance the Daqian Dynasty attached to scientific research talents, and the formulation of policies very similar to the "scholar, farmer, businessman" class in the previous life, he was very pessimistic about the psionic research of the Daqian Dynasty.

Because this is no longer a question of "those who engage in atomic bombs are worse than those who sell tea eggs", but directly knock down the scholar group and make it difficult for them to have a bright future.

In this way, it is strange that there are still people who are willing to engage in scientific research.

Thinking about the history of the previous life, the research talents in various fields who can leave their names are basically court officials, and the sidelines are scholars.

How similar is this to the current Dagan Dynasty?

"Hey!" Xu Yan sighed in his heart, but he said something that he didn't even believe, and comforted Xiao Lin: "Eunuch, don't be sad. One day, the Royal Library and Imperial Academy will definitely be restored to their former glory."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin shook his head with a smile, and said, "Okay, you don't have to comfort our family. Our family knows better than you the situation of the Imperial Palace Library and Imperial Academy."

"These two places have been lonely for hundreds of years, so there is no grand scene to speak of."

"Our family can also understand that, after all, the library and the Hanlin Academy can't earn money for the imperial court; second, they can't help His Majesty solve problems and please His Majesty; in the end, they have to take the imperial court's financial subsidies and salary, and reach out to ask His Majesty for money. "

"What can be done is to copy some copies of books, and any scholar can do it."

"Just such a situation, His Majesty has been extra merciful by not abolishing these two yamen. How can our family dare to hope for a prosperous or not grand occasion?"

Xiao Lin sighed and said, but at the end he looked at the main hall of the palace library which occupies a huge area behind him, and expressed his emotions: "It's just that our family is heartbroken."

"Such a book is placed here, even scholars and wise men of foreign races regard it as a treasure, and it is difficult for the low-level people outside to take a look at it. Why is no one in the palace willing to come?"

"There are also those Hanlin Langs in the Imperial Academy, many of whom are real talents. They are better than those craftsmen and petty officials in the Ministry of Industry, but they will never be reused by the court for the rest of their lives. They can only be here. I wasted the years and left sadly."

Having said that, Xiao Lin couldn't help but look up and look at Xu Yan.

"Brother Xu, what are you talking about in this world? Why can't our family understand it?"
