The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Wang Wenlong also described the details of the Royal Academy's system clearly at the wine table, and proposed many supporting operations, such as the creation of corresponding academy journals, selection of academicians, etc.

Dong Qichang's eyes shone when he talked about it later, and even Deng Zhimo and Pan Xiu were very surprised. The benefits of this system were obvious at a glance. It was extremely convenient to study oracle bone inscriptions, and it could even be seamlessly connected with the structure of oracle bone inscriptions.

The three of them all admired Wang Wenlong very much and really didn't know how he had so many creative ideas.

And Wang Wenlong is also happy to talk more.

Wang Wenlong knew that the Royal Society would appear widely in Europe in the next few hundred years, including the British Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences...

This system is not only convenient for studying oracle bones. If the Ming Dynasty can establish the Royal Academy of Sciences first, the more important effect will be to provide the soil for professional scientists to exist. Before the Academy of Sciences is established, scientists can only be regarded as a kind of philosophers. Engaging in scientific research can only be regarded as a hobby and not a job. The emergence of a scientific system will give scientists a high social status and will greatly promote the scientific development of a country.

The national academies of sciences in later countries around the world were born from this royal academy system.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal and drinks.

Dong Qichang took out the Oracle Bone Society's appointment and asked Wang Wenlong to sign and join. Wang Wenlong naturally agreed. After signing and paying the society's deposit, it was almost the curfew time, and Dong Qichang said goodbye.

The fact that the imperial court had a policy to protect oracle bones showed that Shen Yiguan had already exerted his efforts. At this time, Dong Qichang naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot to implement this matter.

This time when he came to Nanjing, he wanted to make friends with many literati and officials, and pave the way for the subsequent development of the Oracle Bone Society. After a drink, he even entertained the idea of ​​establishing a government-run society, and there would be no less activities. .

Wang Wenlong, Deng Zhimo and Pan Xiu continued to drink and talk, and the oracle bone protection was solved. Wang Wenlong felt much more relaxed. He met old friends again, so he inevitably drank a few more drinks, and soon he felt dizzy.

After coming to the Ming Dynasty for so long, this was one of the few times that he was really drunk.

And Deng Zhimo's drinking power wasn't that great either. Soon the two of them were lying on the table looking nothing like they were drunk, but they were still holding wine glasses and toasting each other.

"Brother Deng, cheers!" Wang Wenlong moved the cup forward, and then retracted the cup himself. He couldn't even find the mouth. He tipped the cup, and half of the rice wine was poured into the sleeve. .

"Mr. Jianyang? Mr. Jianyang?" Pan Xiu pushed Wang Wenlong gently, and Wang Wenlong fell directly on the table.

Pan Xiu quickly looked out the window, fearing that someone was coming.

Pan Xiu's life was not easy during this period. Originally, Pan Xiu had forgotten that he was a spy. He just regarded himself as a celebrity. However, he did not expect that half a month ago, he met a Dutch spy in Nanjing. .

The Dutch only said last year that they wanted him to lurk with peace of mind, but recently they seemed to have encountered some difficulties in the process of searching for the golden apple and became extremely impatient, chasing him to Nanjing.

Pan Xiu knew that if he didn't get some information to the Dutch, they might be dissatisfied with him.

Deng Zhimo had fallen to the ground, and Wang Wenlong was lying on the table breathing evenly, obviously falling asleep.

"Mr. Jianyang." Pan Xiu asked beside Wang Wenlong.

"Huh?" Wang Wenlong answered unconsciously, burying his face in his arms. Pan Xiu quietly stood up, listening to the cry of the night owl on the chicken coop mountain outside the house, feeling very entangled in her heart.

He no longer wanted to be a traitor. According to Wang Wenlong's "On Nation-State", that was what the scum of the nation did, but for the sake of his own livelihood, he did not dare to offend the Dutch.

"Do you know how significant the oracle bone inscriptions are?" Wang Wenlong suddenly said to himself while half drunk.

"One is Longshan in Shandong, one is Majiayao in Gansu, one is Liangzhu in Hangzhou, and then there is Anyang, Xianshang... Do you understand Fu Hao's tomb? Even if I tell you, you don't understand... You will understand later!"

Wang Wenlong smiled with pride and finally collapsed on the table.

But Pan Xiu's eyes widened sharply: "Mr. Jianyang, what did you say? Which ones, what are they?"

Wang Wenlong did not answer, but snored evenly.

Pan Xiu swallowed and said to himself: "Is this the location of the five golden apples? Shandong, Gansu, Hangzhou, Anyang, and Fu Hao's tomb. No wonder Mr. Jianyang asked people to dig out Anyang ...I actually have four Chinese names? I have never heard of the last place name. It is probably somewhere in a foreign country, the West or the East? How about using this place to offend the Dutch?"

The ability of brain supplementation is too powerful.

Before Fu Hao's tomb was dug out, Fu Hao was just a very unknown figure in history books. Not to mention that Pan Xiu was a scholar who read the Four Books and Five Classics. Even if he was really a historian, how could he be reminded of Fu Hao when he heard his name? The queen of a certain emperor of the Shang Dynasty? When these three words are read in Mandarin, Pan Xiu basically sounds like a foreign place name. It doesn't matter if it is a Chinese place name. It's not a big land anyway. Where can the Dutch find it?

The next day Pan Xiu hid at home and wrote a letter to the Dutch. In order to make the content more easily recognized by the Dutch, he wrote down exactly what Wang Wenlong said last night and the process of inquiring, except for the five things Wang Wenlong said. He omitted four place names and recorded only the tomb of Fu Hao.

"Fuzi Mu?" Wei Malang frowned, "Is this matter related to the Spanish?"

Yes, this person’s brain supplementing ability is even stronger, so he went directly to Spain.

It’s hard to blame him, because the place name Fuzmu does sound very similar to the Spanish place name translated by the Chinese.

In the translation of Ming Dynasty people, "Fuzi" generally corresponds to the Spanish root "poza", which means "next to a certain place" in Spanish.

At this time, there were a lot of places in South America named "Poza xxx", such as the famous oil city "Poza Rica" in Mexico in later generations.

Nowadays, the relationship between the Dutch and the Spanish is tense. If the golden apple is hidden on the Spanish land, it will be a big problem. Wei Malang must find it quickly.

In the next few months, Chinese compradors in Southeast Asia would inexplicably encounter some Dutch people asking them if they knew about a place called "Fuz Curtain", saying that it was probably on the Luzon Island colonized by the Spanish. .

The Chinese who were asked were all confused. Some Chinese had even settled in Luzon since the Yuan Dynasty, but said they had never heard of such a place name.

The Dutch East India Company's efforts to find the Fozi Curtain went far beyond that. Even a year later, a spice fleet received a secret order and was funded by the Dutch East India Company to go to South America to find a legendary man named "Poza". Mu..." place. (End of chapter)
