In fact, after confirming that the road to return was smooth, Zhao Weiji turned all his attention to these Alexander Library's collections.

One of his purpose in his trip to Baghdad was to introduce Western classics, especially science classics. Originally, Zhao Weiji hoped to get these things from the famous wisdom museum. After all, the wisdom museum in Baghdad has an extremely important position in the exchanges between the East and the West. Not only does it contain books, but also a large number of people are engaged in the translation and organization of collections.

However, when he saw these books in the Alexander Library, Zhao Weiji knew that he could save a lot of effort, because even if it was only part of the original books, it was a huge fortune. Having these books was enough to study in Xinhua Academy for many years.

However, the problem was also placed in front of Zhao Weiji, that is, no one of the people he knew was proficient in ancient Greek or other books.

In other words, even if he has books, he still has to turn to the Wisdom Museum to see if he can at least translate it into Arabic first.

On the other hand, the old man was also thinking about these books, but the problems faced by the old man were completely opposite to Zhao Weiji. He himself knew ancient Greek in addition to his knowledge of medieval Persian, and even books in other languages ​​were able to find corresponding scholars who could translate them.

But now the ownership of the book in this secret room should be in the hands of Zhao Weiji, who has the house deed and land deeds of this house, and the Arab Empire, like the West, cannot infringe on personal private property.

In this way, even if the old man can inform the official through the Wisdom Pavilion, as long as Zhao Weiji does not give it to him, they will not be able to forcefully take away these books.

However, while the two were thinking about these books, the difference in their identities began to make the two different when they looked at this issue.

Although Zhao Weiji also pays attention to important academic surnames, he is basically a politician. Since he is a politician, the things he considers will be more complicated.

At this time, Zhao Weiji was not only considering how to find someone to translate these books, but also considering whether these books can also attract talents in addition to the knowledge they can bring to Xinhua City.

At this time, Zhao Weiji no longer planned to simply seek help from the Wisdom Museum to help him translate these books. He planned to use these books to poach people from the Wisdom Museum.

Because he could see from the old man's performance that these Alexander Library's collections are like gold to any scholar, and even more attractive than gold.

But one thing Zhao Weiji cannot be sure of is whether these scholars can really go abroad for these books. Geographically speaking, Baghdad in Xinhua City is too far away.

Moreover, the treatment of the Smart Hall is also extremely good. In terms of treatment, Zhao Weiji was not sure that he could give better treatment, at most it would be equal.

However, he was still willing to give it a try, so he confessed his identity to the old man.

What surprised Zhao Weiji was that although the old man had never heard of his name, he knew Xinhua City.

"I know Xinhua City, it is said that it seems to be very far away overseas, even more far away than the Tang (Arabs don't know the difference between the Tang and Song dynasties, because the Tang Dynasty was so famous that many countries still called the Central Plains the Tang Dynasty after the demise of the Tang Empire)."

"Where did the old man hear about Xinhua City?"

"It's from my son. My son is a businessman who travels between the local area and Tang. But he said that he has recently started to have some business dealings with a city called Xinhua City, a principle Tang but belonging to Tang. From there, he can buy cheaper cotton cloth. My clothes are made of cotton cloth I bought from Xinhua City."

It was not until this time that Zhao Weiji discovered that the old man's clothes were made of cotton cloth, and at this time the old man took out a gold coin from his pocket.

Zhao Weiji is so familiar with this gold coin, it is the gold coin they cast in Xinhua City.

"Is this your gold coin?"

"Yes, this is the gold coins we minted there."

"How did you mint such gold coins? Several of my friends once tried to imitate them, but all of them failed. This method of minting is quite special. Moreover, the content of this gold coins is quite pure. How did you remove impurities?

Also, how is the cotton cloth of your Tang made? The people here have studied it for a long time but haven’t found the principle?”

As soon as the old man asked this question, Zhao Weiji knew that his plan to poach people might be a chance, because now he not only owns these books but also has an ace, which is the technologies in Xinhua City.

Since those technologies are advanced technologies brought by him through time travel, people of this era will never think of cracking them in a short time.

And for these academic masters, things that cannot be cracked have a fatal attraction.

"In this way, sir, I want to discuss something with you."

"You said."

"I am going to ship these books back to Xinhua City."

The old man immediately stopped hearing that Zhao Weiji wanted to transport all these books back, but from his standpoint, there was no way to stop him, although he helped find these books.

"However, because of the language of these books, I need someone to help me translate them."

When the old man heard this, his eyes began to lit up. He was very confident that these books were basically unable to translate except those in their Wisdom Library, because the place where the most ancient Greek classics now is their Wisdom Library, and even the Byzantine Empire was not as much as they had.

"So, I hope that the people in your Wisdom Library can help me translate these books. Of course, I am not asking you to help me translate them for free. In addition to the corresponding rewards, after these books are translated, I will also have someone copy them and give them to you the Wisdom Library."

After listening to Zhao Weiji's words, the old man almost shed tears because the conditions were so generous. As long as they could copy a copy and take it back to the Wisdom Museum, they could have helped Zhao Weiji translate for free. Now they are not only for copying, but also for rewards. This can only be used to praise Allah to praise Zhao Weiji.

But does Zhao Weiji really have Lei Feng like this? The answer is naturally no. How could such a person who can't get up early without profit? His conditions were soon released.

"However, translating these books requires conducting in Xinhua City, which means that the person you translator will go to Xinhua City with the book. After the translation is completed and the copy has been copied, our people are sending back the copy you translator has copied back on a ship."

When this condition was put forward, the old man hesitated a little because Tang was far enough for them. At this moment, Zhao Weiji's request was to go to Xinhua City farther away. It was difficult to predict when he could come back, so he needed to think about it.

"I need to think about this, and I also need to go back to the Wisdom Pavilion to report this matter to the director. Please allow me some time."

Of course, Zhao Weiji did not expect the old man to agree to his request immediately, so he agreed to the old man's request.

Since this matter has come to an end for the time being, the group will have to return to the house.

When they returned to the house, Wang Dayuan and his two were still waiting at the entrance. Because when they came back to touch the agency in advance, they quickly returned to the secret room. As a result, after he returned, he found that the door of the secret room had been closed. He did not dare to determine whether it was because of the agency that he touched the agency, so he found Wang Dayuan.

After Wang Dayuan passed this person's description, he guessed that he might have discovered another mechanism, and another mechanism could only be opened by closing the mechanism here.

So Wang Dayuan did not dare to rashly start the mechanism under the stove, because what if something happens if it is opened here and there?

Therefore, they had to wait at the entrance to see if the people inside had a way to come out by themselves.

However, when Wang Dayuan and his two children welcomed Zhao Weiji, Zhao Weiji did not seem to have encountered something bad as they imagined, but instead looked excited.

This expression usually only appears on the people who picked up gold, but when they entered the secret room before, Zhao Weiji did not show such expression, which made people wonder if Zhao Weiji found something more valuable than gold in the secret room.

However, before Wang Dayuan had time to ask, an old man he didn't know crawled out of the entrance of the secret room.

While Zhao Weiji greeted the old man, he also ordered others: "Old Zhang, you have been translating for so long, so you should be familiar with the old man. You can send the old man back to the wisdom hall."

After Lao Zhang agreed, he helped the old man leave the house.

After the old man left, Wang Dayuan seized the opportunity to ask Zhao Weiji: "Prince, who is that old man? And what good things have you found under the secret room? Is it more valuable than gold?"

"Of course I found good things, these things can't be bought with gold." Zhao Weiji's excitement at this time reached a peak after the old man left.

"Who is that old man?"

"He, he is a scholar in the Wisdom Museum. You know the Wisdom Museum."

Wang Dayuan, who often goes to Baghdad, naturally knows what the Wisdom Hall is, but why did Zhao Weiji get involved with scholars in the Wisdom Hall?

Zhao Weiji naturally knew that Wang Dayuan had countless questions at this moment, but at this time he was really hungry, so he ordered people to prepare meals. Then, at the dinner table, Zhao Weiji told all their experiences inside to the rest of the people who had not entered the secret room.

"Your Majesty, according to your opinion, these books are all ours now, and those scholars from the Wisdom Museum will also go to Xinhua City because of this batch of books?"

"If it goes well, it should be like this."

Seeing that Zhao Weiji was full of confidence, Wang Dayuan no longer had any questions.
