Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Zhuo Qing, how is the plan of the Secret Supervisor to set up large libraries in each province and libraries in each prefecture going?"

Listening to Zheng Kezang's question, from a local tyrant who voted for Zheng to the acting magistrate of Wengshan to the magistrate of Zhili Prefecture in Taicang and the magistrate of Ganzhou, Zhuo Wenyuan, a native of Ningbo who has now been promoted to the secret supervisor, responded respectfully:

"Returning to the king, the Secret Supervisor has set up seven large libraries in Wuchang, Nanchang, Xinchang, Jiangning, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou, each containing 30 volumes (volumes) and 200 million volumes (books), Ganzhou, Guilin, Guiyang, and Kunming are still in preparation for large libraries in the four provincial capitals. The fastest-updated libraries at the local government level have been built in Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Taiping, Huzhou, Jiaxing, and Hangzhou , Shaoxing, Ningbo, Huizhou, Chizhou, Anqing, Nankang, Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Shuntian, Guangzhou, Huizhou, etc., each has a collection of 50 volumes (volumes) and [-] volumes (books).

Next, Zhuo Wenyuan reported the scope of the collection. Basically, most of them are subsets of classics and history. There are geography, agricultural administration, medicine, mathematics, civil engineering, and water control literature, but the number is not large, mainly in the large libraries of the provinces. Collection, as for translation works from Western and Western countries, there are very few, very few.

"In addition to the major libraries, libraries, and library branches set up by the secret supervisor, there are a certain amount of deposits in the provincial imperial schools, prefectural schools, and county schools." Although there is a connection between them, it is not very tight. "That's why I beg the king to order the department to provide the slip for the secret supervisor to reprint."

"Yes," Zheng Kezang nodded, agreeing to the other party's proposal. The so-called king of a country needs martial arts and martial arts, and Zheng Kezang's martial arts is not lacking in the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, we can't relax in the aspect of martial arts, and the library project is exactly that. Part of his advocacy of Wenzhi is to respond to requests. "Gu will greet Chen Kejun."

Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang asked: "How many articles by the great Confucians of Luzhou in Beiju can be translated this year by the Siyi Pavilion jointly organized by the secret supervisor, the Ministry of Education, and the Yamen of foreign countries."

Zhuo Wenyuan replied: "Because of the ban of this vassal, the missionaries in Beiju Luzhou took an uncooperative attitude. They only relied on the records brought by the Dutch Hongyi and British, Guilian and Liyi merchants. The translation speed was very slow, and it may not be close to the Original meaning ****"

The problems raised by Zhuo Wenyuan are particularly obvious in some works on astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., but Zheng Fan and the Roman Catholic Church are in a war without smoke. Only when the other party completely admits defeat can the Cold War end, so pay some price , in Zheng Kezang's view, it is totally worth it.

"Then translate slowly." Zheng Kezang said. "In addition, there are some good things in Dashi and Persian books. I just remember "Algebra", "On Quadrilaterals", "Applications of Arithmetic", "Key of Arithmetic", "On Circumference", "On Strings and Sines" I can’t remember a few books on mathematics, and some books on optics and chemistry, so you can go and find out by yourself.”

It was also fortunate that Zhuo Wenyuan was born in a powerful country. If an orthodox Confucian student heard these barbarian articles, he would definitely jump up and try to dissuade Zheng Kezang from heretics. At this moment, he just has a headache and can't remember these names.

Seeing Zhuo Wenyuan's frowning face, Zheng Kezang was amused, so he handed over a slip in his hand: "Don't worry, you can find it slowly, but the translation must be accurate. How many years have we been? , Yelang is arrogant, works behind closed doors, and only circles around in the circle of the principles of heaven and human desires. He doesn't know what the Dao is. It’s time to open your eyes and see the universe.”

Zhuo Wenyuan didn't know how to answer, so he had no choice but to be obedient, and Zheng Kezang didn't say much about it. In fact, he couldn't say anything more. With his status, once these words were spread, it would definitely be a stormy sea. When the dust has not yet settled, Zheng Kezang is not going to say any more.

After drinking Zhuo Wenyuan away, Zheng Kezang didn't want to deal with any official business for a while, so he left the government office and wandered casually around the room.Since the current King Xia's Mansion was rebuilt by Xingyuan, the former governor of Huguang, Zheng Kezang was transferred to the imperial court as he walked.Now that he had arrived at the imperial court, Zheng Kezang didn't think too much, and just walked straight into Geng Tang'er's courtyard.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Hearing the voices of the maids welcoming Zheng Kezang, Geng Tang'er came out in surprise. In her impression, Zheng Kezang's daily life is very regular, and he should deal with government affairs. Time will definitely not come to the imperial court, even if the servants will come in the order set at the beginning of the month, they will rarely deviate from the due procedures like today.

"Why not welcome?" Zheng Kezang asked back. "Then go away."

Seeing Zheng Kezang who was about to leave, Geng Tang'er immediately regretted it. She only wanted to share more of Zheng Kezang's favor on weekdays. When the opportunity came, how could she be willing to reject Zheng Kezang: "The king can The ministers and concubines can't get what they want, so how dare they not welcome them."

Zheng Kezang grabbed Geng Tang'er's hand with a smile, and several maids lowered their heads hurriedly. Rao had already given birth to Zheng Kezang's two sons, Zhouguan and Pingguan, but Zheng Kezang's intimate gestures still made Geng Tang'er feel ashamed. The redness of the face.Of course, this is mostly for joy, after all, she is not the most favored among all the girls, that is, she is better than the three girls who are already old and beautiful, Tong Chunniang, Fang Yuniang, and Xie Ziling. A side concubine, Feng Lianniang.

Walking into the inner room and repelling the maid who brought the tea fruit, Zheng Kezang stretched out his arms to hug Geng Tang'er, thinking that Geng Tang'er's face, which Zheng Kezang was courting all day, would burn even more, but he never thought that Zheng Kezang Ke Zang suddenly said: "In order to exchange the captured Mongolian prince Taiji, some old tribes of San Francisco were sent to Haizhou, North Korea. People have been transported to Qiongzhou one after another. After screening, there are a few old people from Geng Fan , maybe you want to meet Tanger."

Geng Tang'er's lust faded immediately, and her slightly pale face seemed to remind her of the days when she was hiding in Tibet.

Seeing his beloved concubine trembling all over, Zheng Kezang, who had been prepared for a long time, stroked Geng Tang'er's back with his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, everything is over, you have Gu, Zhou Guan, Ping Guan, Don't be afraid, don't worry****"

Under Zheng Kezang's care, Geng Tang'er, who was in a calm mood, wiped the clear tears on his face: "The concubine thanked the king, and the concubine lost her temper just now. Speaking of which, the concubine is also very happy. I can hear news from my old friend****”

Zheng Kezang didn't care about Geng Tang'er's insincere statement, but just looked at the other party gently. Under Zheng Kezang's comforting gaze, Geng Tang'er thought about it for a while, and then said: "The concubine doesn't know that the king How do you plan to arrange them, if they meet, it will affect the layout of the king, and the concubines will disappear."

"How can a few returnees affect the layout of Degu." Zheng Kezang laughed. "Tang'er is too cautious."

Having said that, in fact, there are two destinations for the old people from San Francisco who have been screened. One is to be resettled in Qiongzhou, and the other is to be assigned to Jinlan, Xiguipu and Xiboni. In a word, Zheng Kezang does not want these The situation in South China has been swelled again by people, so it was sent far away.Of course, what Zheng Kezang promised to Geng Tang'er is not impossible. After all, giving a few Geng family relatives and close servants some fake officials will affect the court situation, not to mention letting Geng Tang'er come forward may be more soothing to people's hearts.However, the secret spies that the Qing government secretly stuffed in were not so lucky. As long as they were suspected, they would all be sent to Shilu. Anyway, they all crawled out of the dead, and it would not be a big deal to die again.

"Then, let's see each other." Geng Tang'er said worrying about gains and losses. "I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't know if I can remember the faces and names of these people. It's been too long."

"There is one more thing I need to ask Tang'er for advice." Geng Tang'er was a little out of control, but Zheng Kezang gave him a strong dose of medicine. "Shouldn't Ping Rubo also arrange for him to meet his old man?"

Ping Lubo is Shang Xiguan who is now named Shang Ande, and now he is only about the same age as Zheng Yang and Zheng Di, but he was suspected by Zheng Kezang and did not enroll in the Young Martial Arts School together. Geng Tang'er, who regards Shang Xiguan as his own brother, immediately sensed something was wrong with Ke Zang's ulterior motives.

"Your Majesty, when Shang Fan's accident happened, An De was still young, so he might not remember anything." Geng Tang'er naturally rejected Zheng Kezang's suggestion on behalf of Shang Xi. "And the concubine thinks that even the old man Shangfan may not know or remember that there is such a young master, so it is better for the concubine, the nephew, to comfort him."

Zheng Kezang couldn't accuse Geng Tang'er of being overwhelmed, so he just sighed quietly: "So, Shang Zhide and others are still receiving preferential treatment from Kangxi in Beijing. I originally thought that some old Shangfan people could be divided by Ping Lubo. When I wake up, I feel a little overwhelmed."

Geng Tang'er was originally a person with seven orifices, otherwise she would not have resolutely chosen to commit herself to Zheng Kezang back then, so at this moment, hearing Zheng Kezang's tone was not kind, she subconsciously thought that Zheng Kezang disliked safety and virtue as useless Immediately, Huarong's color changed a little, and she opened her mouth to say something, but Zheng Kezang covered her cherry mouth with her hand.

"When Gu greeted you, he promised to take good care of Ander, so you don't have to think about it."

Geng Tang'er's heart moved. It is not a good way to take care of him if he eats delicious food and drinks like pigs and dogs. The clan's relatives are all in captivity, so how can the descendants who are still gratifying get out of the cage.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant by my concubine." Geng Tang'er hesitated again and again, and decided to give it a go. "The concubine means that An De will reach the age of meritorious service in a few years, if he can help the king, it's okay to meet the old man of Shangfan."

Zheng Kezang looked at Geng Tang'er who had changed his attitude in surprise, before he could distinguish the woman's true meaning, he heard Geng Tang'er say: "Now that An De is growing up day by day, my concubine begs the king to come Just like Marquis Chen, let him go out on his own."

Chen Hou refers to Labuan Marquis Chen Long, who is a local tyrant who looks like the lord of the country. Geng Tang'er's proposal is actually to let Shang Ande stand on his own, but this may be used to clear up some of the hard-core three On the other hand, giving a small island of hundreds of miles will not shake the foundation of Zheng Fan, so Zheng Kezang is a little moved.

"It's a good thing to beat in the wind and waves, but," Zheng Kezang looked at Geng Tang'er. "There is no possibility in China, so I can only go to the West. The West is hot and dry. If something happens, don't you regret it?"

Geng Tang'er gritted her teeth: "Ping Lubo already has an heir, Shang's family line has been passed down, and the concubine is worthy of uncle, so I don't regret it!"

"Gu has ordered the Ministry of Rites to agree on a new noble law. Once Ping Lubo goes out, he will be a feudal vassal and no longer enjoy the status of earl. Can you accept it?"

"The concubine can accept it!"

"Ender is too young now, let's talk about it when he grows up"
