For the matter of the encyclopedia, Xia Hongsheng began to work hard again.

Although the encyclopedia is divided into different teams according to different fields, Xia Hongsheng still has to do the preliminary preparations himself.

There are several categories, and Xia Hongsheng also needs to take charge of them personally.

This is a complex and vast project. It can be said that it may be the last big thing that these older teachers in the academy can do in their lifetime, and it is also the thing that has the greatest merit and is the most famous and most famous in history.

Therefore, the teachers in the academy also tried their best to look for achievements in relevant fields and related books everywhere. In addition to class and sleeping time, they all gathered together to discuss the compilation of encyclopedias in their respective fields.

"Mr. Xia is really good at finding trouble. I am afraid that this old bone will be a little bit harder because of this." Sun Simiao had tea with Xia Hongsheng in the afternoon. During the chat, he mentioned this matter and said with a smile: "Now, the teachers and gentlemen in the academy look quite as excited as the imperial physicians when they compiled "Qianjin Fang" in the Imperial Medical Bureau."

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head: "Master, you should not call me Mr. Xia, just call me Mr. Xia, or call me Jingshi, or call me Xiahou. If I hear this Mr. Xia, I feel that my whole body is thorny."

Sun Simiao was puzzled and asked, "Oh? Why is this? Could it be that Mr. Xia is unwilling to ask for the praise of the founding county duke?"

Xia Hongsheng couldn't say that it sounded like he was calling an old eunuch, because the eunuch had not been called a father-in-law at this time.

So he smiled and said, "I always feel that I am a lot older. Look at me at home, I don't want my family to call me a grandfather, but my family calls me a grandfather. You should call me a jingshi, which makes it easy to hear."

Sun Simiao smiled silently. He was also a person who was not bound by the secular world, so he said, "Okay, Mr. Xia, after hearing about this encyclopedia, I felt deeply that Mr. Xia's merits were in my heart. If this book is completed, all kinds of schools, all walks of life, the achievements of the predecessors and the present people will be integrated into it, and will be kept for the present and future generations. I naturally should help each other. A volume of Chinese medicine in the encyclopedia is very similar to "Qianjin Fang". If I think about it, why would I just include "Qianjin Fang" in it? What do you think?"

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "If you say which volume of this encyclopedia is the easiest to compile now, it is just the medicine. With Qianjin Prescriptions in front of it, it is a complete book of medicine. However, there is a slight difference between the two. Qianjin Prescriptions is a specialized book of medicine. The medical science involved in medicine is all precise and focused on quality. However, the volume of traditional Chinese medicine in the encyclopedia is aimed at outlining medicine, focusing on quantity. The medicine in the encyclopedia can include the pathology, pharmacology, medicine, medicine, etc. in the Qianjin Prescriptions. As for the specific prescriptions, there is no need to compile them, and only provide an overview. To teach people that there are these prescriptions, you can find the specific prescriptions in the book Qianjin Prescriptions. In addition, he also has many other development history of medicine from ancient times to the present, etc.."

"The various historical developments and achievements of medicine from ancient times to the present, plus the slightly concise "Qianjin Fang"." Sun Simiao said with a sudden look.

"That's true." Xia Hongsheng nodded and added a cup of tea to Sun Simiao, and said: "With "Qianjin Fang" as the basis, most of the medical book of the Encyclopedia has been completed."

Sun Simiao stroked the old fairy-like long white beard and smiled, "Haha, the grand wish of the young master, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Yong's voice suddenly came from the side: "Young Master, the guard of the academy asked for a visit."

"Haha, young master, drink all this tea. I'm afraid that your Majesty will summon you again." Sun Simiao raised the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, raised his teacup and touched it gently with Sun Simiao, then drank it, turned around and stood up to take Qi Yong over.

When I saw the doorman, I said there were guards from the palace waiting outside.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, asked the guard to change shifts, and went to the house and said to go to Chang'an. He followed the guards to go to Chang'an in a carriage.

"I dare to ask this inner guard, I don't know what your Majesty is summoning this time?" Xia Hongsheng asked on the carriage.

"I dare not, if you say goodbye to your grandfather, your majesty has not told you clearly, but just asked you to invite you into the palace." The palace guard bowed to Xia Hongsheng and replied, "Your Majesty seems very happy. He said a few times, "Good to come back," and then ordered your grandfather to come and invite you into the palace."

Good to come back?

Xia Hongsheng secretly guessed who is back?

This is too difficult to guess. There are too many people sent out by the Tang Dynasty, and there are naturally countless people who have something to do with me. I really can't guess who is back.

But it seems that it is not a bad thing, and it is also considered to be a mental preparation.

Soon, the carriage arrived in Chang'an. The guards and Xia Hongsheng entered the palace together, took Xia Hongsheng outside Li Shimin's study and passed it to the inside.

Xia Hongsheng was able to enter quickly. Li Shimin was reviewing the memorials. Seeing Xia Hongsheng coming in, he put the memorials aside.

"I am paying homage to Your Majesty." Xia Hongsheng bowed.

Li Shimin waved his hand, pointed to the chair below, and signaled Xia Hongsheng to sit over. After Xia Hongsheng sat over, he smiled and said, "Haha, son-in-law, I have good news to tell you!"

"Oh? Please let my father-in-law make it clear!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and said.

"One person is coming back and will arrive in Chang'an in two days." Li Shimin smiled and deliberately kept him in a silence: "Son-in-law, guess who it is?"

"This..." Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "I can't guess it. There have been too many people going out in the past few years, and there must be a lot of good news that can be brought back. I really don't know who is back."

Li Shimin smiled even more and said, "Well, I won't keep it from my cover. A letter was sent from the post in front of me. Wang Xuance, the envoy from Persia, sent by the Tang Dynasty, had returned and brought the Persian prince Beilus who came to see me. This Xin was sent yesterday. I looked at the location. I guess I would arrive in Chang'an in two days."

"Wang Xuance is back?" Xia Hongsheng was overjoyed: "I have brought Beilus back!?"

When Xia Hongsheng first pulled Li Shimin's sight to Central Asia, he was to persuade Li Shimin to support Persia through various ways, so that Persia could fight against the rising Dashi and delay the development of Dashi as much as possible. At the beginning, Wang Xuance went to Persia alone in his personal name. Then, because of his achievements in Persia and his plans for Persia, he finally officially became an envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty to Persia.

Now, he is back!
