Chapter 1332 Plan Implementation
Zheng Ruozeng thought for a moment and said, "Sir, can I first see who you have recruited and what books you have translated?"
"This is no problem. I will immediately write a book and ask Sharon to come with people and books. It will probably take half a month. At that time, can you come to Hangzhou?"
"good!"
The two of them had the intention to cooperate, so they temporarily put the matter down and started chatting. Zheng Ruo was very knowledgeable and open-minded, especially with the ocean. The more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative. They talked until dawn that Luo Xin said apologetically:
"I'm just talking, I've delayed your rest."
"No delay!" Zheng Ruozeng said enthusiastically: "Sir, to be honest, this is the most enjoyable time I have ever chatted with you. I really regret meeting you too late. Usually, I talk to Luo Zhi and the others, but they don't understand at all, so I don't have fun."
"Hmph!" Luo Zhi, who pretended to be mute all night, snorting, expressing his dissatisfaction. Luo Xin and Zheng Ruozeng looked at each other and laughed.
Luo Xin stood up and said, "I won't disturb you anymore."
"Let's go after breakfast." Zheng Ruozeng also stood up and was about to call his wife, but was stopped by Luo Xin and said, "No trouble, Kaiyang, don't be polite to me. If we get along for a long time in the future, you will know that I was not a polite person either."
Zheng Ruozeng couldn't help laughing, and became no longer polite. He sent Luo Xin out of the door and said goodbye. Luo Xin and Luo Zhi ordered a bowl of wontons at the street stall. Luo Xin and Luo Zhi said goodbye to Luo Zhi, took Lu Daqing and Wandaquan directly out of the city and returned to Suzhou.
After returning to Suzhou, Luo Xin immediately wrote a letter to Sharon, who lived in his mansion in the capital, and asked his subordinates to set off immediately. Then Luo Xin fell asleep and slept until the next morning. Luo Xin got up and told Lu Daqing to go out and find a garden for him in Hangzhou, which would be big.
Luo Xin is preparing to take his seat once. In the future, the General Translation Bureau, Library and Academy will be built in this garden, so it will naturally be large. As for money, Luo Xin is not short of money now.
Lu Daqing was busy for a day and came back at dusk. There were only two gardens that fit Luo Xin's ideas. The owners of these two gardens were both merchants, but the business was not as big as those of the five major families. Moreover, maritime trade was basically controlled by the five major families. They did not get much quota. Now there is no war in the north, and a large number of people from the south moved north. They saw the opportunity and prepared to move to the north to do business.
When Luo Xin heard these two gardens, he thought for a moment and decided to buy the garden of Zhang. He didn't have to go see it. He knew very well about the merchants in Hangzhou. So he asked Lu Daqing to transfer the house deed with money the next day.
Lu Daqing came forward, and who doesn’t know who he is in the entire Southeast Yamen?
Therefore, all the procedures went very smoothly. Before noon, Lu Daqing completed all the procedures.
After lunch, Luo Xin took Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan to the newly purchased garden. After reading it, Luo Xin was very satisfied. The garden was very large and divided into three parts: front, middle and back. There are also two gardens with a considerable area of front, middle and back.
After Luo Xin finished reading it, he asked someone to take the paper and pen and start to re-plan the entire garden. Luo Xin prepared to complete the plan at one time to save trouble in the future.
The Houyuan Luoxin was not ready to be renovated, so he acted as the General Translation Bureau. Western scholars lived there and their offices were there. The middle part needed to be simply renovated, and the walls of some houses were opened as a library. The library was divided into two parts, one was a Chinese reading library and the other was a Western library.
There are many places for reconstruction of Qianyuan. Buildings such as classrooms and laboratories of the college are built. Luo Xin's actions are decisive and immediately arranged to start renovating them.
Luo Xin is now the focus of the south, so naturally his actions cannot be hidden from the intentional people. After the intentional people are unintentionally spread, many people know that Luo Xin has built a garden in Hangzhou and is being renovated. However, he didn't care too much. No one thought that Luo Xin would prepare to establish a translation bureau, and then suggested that the library and academy, and only thought that Luo Xin had built a Beppu in Hangzhou.
Luo Xin had a printing workshop and a bookstore. He had sent someone back to the capital to transport various Chinese books first and prepare to put the part of the Chinese reading library on it.
Before the reconstruction was completed, Sirloin and his group arrived. There were eleven people in total, and they were carrying several large boxes, which contained various Western books, as well as some books they had already begun to translate.
Luo Xin arranged them to live in the back garden of the garden. Eleven Western scholars were very happy to see the beautiful back garden. Before Luo Xin arranged for them to live in the back garden, he had already sent someone to Nanjing to invite Zheng Ruozeng. Luo Xin told Sharon and others that they would rest for a day and come here to welcome them to the evening.
Luo Xin knew that they were tired and exhausted all the way, so he didn't say much to Sharon and others, and returned to the manor outside Hangzhou. This manor was where Luo Xin hid the soldiers recruited from the north and sent them to Wanwan. Now he no longer needed to do such a thing. Luo Xin regarded this as a real manor and his own Beppu.
In fact, this manor is much bigger than the garden I bought in the city. It is just a garden. This is a manor, ten times larger than the garden in the city. Moreover, outside the manor, Luo Xin bought a lot of land. Luo Xin walked in the manor and said in his heart:
"If the academy I built is expanded in the future, I will move to this manor."
When he entered the manor, Luo Xin washed up and finished lunch, he also prepared to take a nap. After about an hour of sleep, Lu Daqing came to report that it was Zheng Ruozeng who came.
Luo Xin got up, washed up, and then went to Hangzhou City with Zheng Ruozeng. Because it took nearly an hour to get from here to Hangzhou City, it was ten days in the evening when he arrived in Hangzhou.
When Luo Xin and Zheng Ruozeng came to Luo Garden, it was almost dusk. Luo Xin ordered a banquet and delivered it to Luo Garden. In addition, Luo Xin and Zheng Ruozeng, a total of thirteen people sat down around a large seat. Luo Xin said some welcome words and introduced Zheng Ruozeng to those Western scholars. Then those Western scholars introduced themselves in detail to Luo Xin.
You should know that these people lived a hard life in the Ming Dynasty, and the reasons for their coming to the Ming Dynasty were different. For example, Sharon wanted to spread the doctrines to the world for his own ideals, and some were unable to survive in the West, or were wanted for various reasons for political struggles. However, no matter what the reason was, when they saw the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the cities and population of the Ming Dynasty, they were almost shocked.
