Chapter 1420 Chen Ping's worries
"Well, it's not much different from what you think. This proposal will directly affect the Qin Dynasty pattern in the next ten or even twenty years. If it can be fully implemented, it doesn't matter whether I am in the court or not. You have to carefully read these memorials and experience them, which may be very helpful to you in the future!" Chen Xu nodded while reading the memorials.
"What does the Marquis mean? Are you really planning to retire to the mountains and forests and not ask about the government affairs?" Chen Ping held Chen Xu's hand and shivered as if he was crazy.
"I will not retire for the time being, but from today on, I will calm down and think about my life. You must pay close attention to the passage and implementation of these proposals, and arrange a large number of reporters to track and report on the reform trends across the country, especially the establishment of the Southern Business Newspaper. You must select and arrange suitable candidates to take charge of the program. The newspaper and the Literature Academy have been planned for seven or eight years, and there are thousands of talents that have been cultivated. It is not a good thing to squeeze in Xianyang. It must be released and given them a broader and more free environment to play a greater ability.
Remember, the editorial departments of various commercial magazines should be established as soon as possible and under the jurisdiction of newspapers. The various manuscripts accumulated by newspapers over the years are enough to support the editing and publication of these new journals and magazines. Therefore, after the beginning of spring, you must launch a batch of high-quality weekly and monthly magazines to provide more colorful literary works for the cultural class. Fu An, Qiu Cheng, Feng Zi'an, Xu Qingmo, Ji Tong, Pang Que and others continue to stay in the newspapers as editors, and they must be in charge of their own principles..."
"Okay, don't worry, Marquis, as long as you don't retire, if you quit, we will follow you to live in seclusion in the mountains and farming and refining land!" Chen Ping breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
"Ji, just this little bit of ambition, don't forget what I said before. You have the ability to be a marquis and ministers, and have the ambition to uphold the universe. I have high hopes for you. I have already mentioned to Your Majesty the day before yesterday that when the preparations for the Peking University are completed, you will be transferred to the vice president of the Peking University. With this qualification, you will be able to take over me in the future to control the Secretariat..."
"Mr. Marquis, you are still so young, why do you plan to retire early? How can Ping's ability be compared with Marquis? I'm afraid he can't be the prime minister of the Secretariat. You should do it well until the seventh and eightyth century before retirement, because even if you think about it, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not agree!" Chen Ping's head shook like a rattle, and his face turned red with excitement.
"It's too early to say this. I just made you prepared. By the way, the Peking University will be completed in at most three months. Who are you going to recommend to the newspaper's general secretary?" Chen Xu thought for a while and put this question aside for the time being.
"Ping has three candidates. The first is Sun Shujiong, the secretary of the Academy of Sciences. Uncle Sun is rigorous and appropriate in his work. He has followed the Marquis for many years and is well-versed in the newspaper. The second is Qiu Cheng, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Brother Qiu is straightforward and decisive, which is very suitable for the busy work of the newspaper. The third is Xu Qingmo, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house. Brother Xu is always serious and takes all manuscripts equally. The Marquis of the Three Marquis are very familiar with each other. Ping thinks that any one of them can be competent for the position of secretary of the newspaper!"
"Well, they are all OK, but Sun Shujiujiu's position in the Academy of Sciences is very important. After he left, I couldn't find someone familiar to take over. Since Xu Qingmo is in charge of the publishing house and his position is also very important, don't move for the time being. Qiu Cheng is Li Shun's uncle. He is indeed a little hot, but it's harmless. It's better for him. After you go back, you can discuss it with him and complete the work of the General Affairs Secretary as soon as possible!"
"Yes, don't worry, Marquis, after Ping returns, he will inform the entire newspaper and the Literature Academy!" Chen Ping nodded quickly.
"You go, I'm a little low-key recently. Pay more attention to the various reform memorials I have written. At the same time, I should also consider the situation after the start of the school year of the Beijing University, textbooks, subjects, logistics, teaching, assessment and evaluation, etc. If you don't understand, you can go to the Agricultural College and Engineering College to study. After all, you can't mess up the signboard of the Beijing University!"
Chen Ping came and went quickly. In just a moment, the two completed the change of the chief officers of a third-rank office and the future development pattern of the Beijing University.
This is the power and benefits of the superiors. The only person in the entire Qin Dynasty who can make such easy and freehand personnel arrangements is Chen Xu besides the emperor.
Of course, Chen Xu had already completed the discussion with the emperor in advance, but the news has not yet been spread.
More than 20 memorials submitted by Chen Xu in the court were taken back to the palace by the First Emperor to read carefully. Most of them were not actually considered reforms, and at most they were the detailed rules of deepening reforms that would continue to be promoted. Many of the previous very rough reform plans were further refined, which was also in line with the steps of gradually deepening the reform.
The outflow of these reform plans has also begun to become a hot topic among the people. People can be seen gathering together to discuss on the miscellaneous houses, buildings and halls, and even on the ridges of the roadside. No matter whether they understand politics or not, or how far away their identity is from the court, just like the people in the capital who like to discuss political topics in later generations, they feel uncomfortable without saying a few words of national affairs every day.
In the following time, Chen Xu began to slowly return to his usual state, and his life began to become regular. He went to the court every day. After reviewing important memorials, he rode a horse and drove to inspect the five major colleges and experimental factories. His favorite thing was the Qinghe Hospital that had been opened and the Jingshi University and Library that were about to be completed.
Two years ago, in Zhongqiu, a fire burned six or seven hundred acres of open space in the south of the city, giving Chen Xu a new idea. After two years of construction, the Capital University and the Library Auditorium were successively completed. The ruins that had burned were completely reborn and there was no trace of the past.
All the buildings form a pattern of Bagua and Tai Chi.
The Beijing University of Beijing is divided into two campuses with Tai Chi as the center, classroom, school building, canteen, dormitory, gymnasium, entertainment room, pond, stream, small bridge, and hillside. It is clearly and orderly according to the direction and division of Bagua. Among the two array eyes of Tai Chi, there are libraries and auditoriums respectively.
A two hundred feet long Saint Avenue leads directly to the gate of the library from the south gate of the Capital University to the north, and as the terrain gradually rises, it forms a total of ten floors and hundreds of steps.
Almost all the main buildings have been completed, water flow has been introduced into the streams and ponds, and various green trees have been planted. Finally, the interior decoration of the building and hall is underway.
The most anticipated statues of the philosophers and the statues of the imperial group are still vacant. Now the concrete base and ten huge merit monuments are being built.
Accompanied by a group of officials from the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Works, Chen Xu walked along the Saints Avenue to the entrance of the library, standing ten feet above the ground and overlooking the entire area, a huge Bagua Tai Chi pattern was clearly presented in front of him.
This is a building complex that is very different from the entire Xianyang City. It has a unique and unique style. Each building is planned and arranged just right, and the harmony of yin and yang forms a huge formation. It has both the style of a new high-rise building and is in harmony with traditional buildings. After decoration, the steel and cement skeleton inside cannot be seen at all.
There are still thousands of civil servants and prisoners who are busy transporting wood, stone and building materials. A large number of craftsmen and apprentice supervisors perform their duties and carry out construction in an orderly manner according to the drawings.
And the layout in the library is naturally completely different.
The door of the library is not on the ground, but to reflect the grandeur of the Avenue of Saints and the sacredness of the statues of the philosophers, so it is raised ten feet high and hung in the air. As long as you walk along the Avenue of Saints to the entrance of the library, the entire Xianyang City can be seen almost at a glance.
There were scaffoldings at the gate, and many craftsmen were working hard. Accompanied by a group of officials, Chen Xu walked into the gate and saw a huge circular pattern, like a circular patio with six floors in total, and a garden below, with ponds, trees, flowers and plants, as well as some high and low buildings.
Because it has not been completed, what you see is a mess, but once it is completed, the entire building will be full of a unique literary atmosphere, quiet and bright, and natural harmony. At that time, rows of seats and many potted flowers, plants and trees will be placed on each floor, which will become the literary holy place for the entire Daqin, and the best place to read, read newspapers, chat, write, and even boring entertainment.
The disciples of the Hundred Schools and scholars from all over the world will truly have a place to pilgrimage together. Once someone disrespects it, it will become the target of the joint attack of the reading and literacy classes in the world.
According to the original planning, all paper printed books will be placed on the top three floors, and will be planned and placed according to different categories such as classics, history, literature, music, and theory. It will be divided into more than ten major categories and more than 100 subcategories. There will be more than 60 exhibition rooms and reading rooms, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people to borrow and read books at the same time.
The three floors below the steps are semi-closed. The ones are presented by the people or newspapers. The ancient books such as bamboo, wood, bamboo, wood, bamboo slips, and even gold, stone, tortoise, bones collected by the School of Literature from all over the country have been sorted out and proofread, some are still being sorted out and proofread, and some are even piled up randomly to wait for the sequel to be sorted out slowly. Because the number is too large, it may take ten or even decades to complete this arduous task. Most of the ancient books on these three floors can be borrowed and viewed from the outside, but they cannot be taken out and can only be read in the museum.
This is the layout of the six floors above the ground, and there are two basements underground, with special entrances and exits. The most ancient and precious lonely and residual books are stored inside, including gold, wood, bamboo, stone, tortoise, orchids and bones. They are generally not open to the public. Only those with special research can be allowed to enter, and they also need to obtain permission from the high-rise buildings of the library.
All the bamboo, wood, bamboo slips, gold, stone, tortoise shells and other ancient monuments in the library are not loaned. If you want to copy rubbing, you will have to pay a certain fee to support the operation and development of the library.
Overall, the entire library, from architecture to design to concept, is a product that transcends the times. After it is officially opened, it will become a temple in the minds of scholars all over the world. Countless people will come from all over the country to worship and study with respect.
Because this will be a gathering place for the achievements of thousands of years of civilization in China, the School of Literature will also collect and organize and publish a large number of ancient books every year, continuously enriching the number of books in the library. In a few years, a large number of foreign books will appear here, and even the text sorting and translation work of the four barbarians in the Qin Dynasty, such as the Liang and the Western Regions of the Yiyue and Liao dynasties, has begun to do it.
Chapter completed!
