Under Zhou Xi's lead, Chen Qi arrived at a hall called the Hall of Confucian Scholars.
The first thing that entered the Hall of Confucianism was rows upon rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books and bamboo slips. A few minor officials in green robes were sitting in front of the bookcases, reading the ancient books in their hands with serious expressions.
"Greetings, Milord!"
Chen Qi and Zhou Xi entered the Hall of Confucianism. The minor officials in the hall all stood up and bowed.
"Yes, let me introduce you. This is Lord Chen. He will be your secretary in the future.”
"In the future, if you have any problems, you can report to Lord Chen directly.”
Zhou Xi introduced in a clear voice.
"Greetings, Lord Chen!"
After hearing Zhou Xi's words, the minor officials in the Hall of Confucianism did not dare to be careless and bowed to Chen Qi.
"Chen Qi greets everyone. Thanks to His Majesty's favor, he has been appointed as the school secretary. Please take care of him in the future.”
Chen Qi cupped his hands in return and replied with a smile.
"Yes, Lord Chen is this year's new Jinshi. His literary talent is extraordinary. In the future, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask Lord Chen for advice.”
Zhou Xi smiled and added,""Alright, you guys continue with your work. I'll bring Lord Chen along to familiarize himself with the work.”
The job of the librarian was relatively easy because he did not need to do things like proofreading books. The minor officials would do the proofreading and copying.
All the clerk needed to do was to count the number of books after the minor officials had copied them and hand over the tidied books to the library staff.
Of course, strictly speaking, after the minor officials had revised and copied the books, the librarian had to read and check them again to ensure that there were no mistakes in the newly copied books.
However, the school clerk did not have three heads and six arms, so how could he personally check the books one by one? Therefore, no one cared about this at all.
In general, being a scholar in the Hanlin Academy was still a very leisurely job, just like being a librarian in the future.
After Chen Qi familiarized himself with his work and office under Zhou Xi's guidance, he expressed his satisfaction with the position of the school secretary.
How could he not be satisfied? This job seemed to be tailor-made for him.
It was a perfect match for his golden finger, the strongest reading system.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Xi and Zhou Xiuzhuan, he invited them to have a small gathering another day.
Chen Qi began his day as a scholar.
To put it bluntly, he had changed places to continue reading!
..........
He didn't know if it was because the Righteousness Spirit had cleansed his distracting thoughts, or because he had changed places and studied in the Imperial Academy, which had increased his benefits.
Chen Qi realized that his reading efficiency had improved significantly.
In just one day, he had read through the Book of Songs, which recorded 311 long poems, and obtained a total of 1,500 experience points. This caused Chen Qi's experience points to increase to 1,850 points.
Chen Qi was completely stunned by the amount of Experience Points he had gained.
He had never expected that the experience points he gained from reading the Book of Songs were almost as much as the combined experience points of the three sages 'classics, the Book of Changes, the Analects of Confucius, and the Mencius.
"Could it be because each of the 311 poems in the Book of Songs has its own thoughts and stories?”
Chen Qi was a little suspicious. He felt that he might have made a mistake in his classification and evaluation of the books.
What truly affected the System's experience points was not only the depth of the knowledge in the books, but also the quantity.
Of course, the three ancient books of the sages, Zhouyi, Analects of Confucius, and Mencius, were also quite long and contained many truths. However, their main ideas were limited to a certain range.
For example, the Book of Changes was mainly about divination, the analysis of the hexagrams, and the exploration of the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
As for the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, they were the holy scriptures of Confucianism."Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, gentleness, respect, thrift, humility, loyalty, filial piety, bravery, respect, honesty" and other noble moral thoughts.
Although the ancient poems in the Book of Songs were not comparable to the Analects of Confucius and Mencius in terms of thinking and reasoning, they could not be compared to the Book of Changes, which explained the great Dao of heaven and earth.
However, you couldn't resist the large number of people, the wide range, and the variety.
The 311 ancient poems included love, hate, love, hatred, war, peace, the sufferings of the people, loyalty, courage, and so on.
Every poem had its own theme and story. Even if one poem gave one experience point, how could there be 311 experience points?
Moreover, the Book of Songs was a classic that had been passed down for thousands of years. It was hailed by the Confucians as one of the Four Books and Five Classics. It had become a must-read classic for the Confucians. How could the principles contained in it be simple?
Thinking about it this way, it was understandable that the Book of Songs gave Chen Qi 1,500 experience points.
In addition, Chen Qi felt that he might have underestimated the effect of the Righteousness Qi.
Previously, he had spent four hours reading the Book of Songs, and he had only managed to raise his reading progress to 16%.
Now, in a day, he had increased his reading speed of the Book of Songs by 84%.
This reading efficiency was more than three times higher than before.
"Is this the effect of having a clear mind and no distracting thoughts?”
" Concentration 100%, Agility of Thought 100%, Calm Sense 100%, Comprehension 100%"
"If I had the Righteousness Qi in my previous life, why would I need to take the Peking University Blue Bird exam? I could just pick Tsinghua University and Peking University!”
Chen Qi could not help but sigh after sensing the magical effect of the Righteousness Qi.
Under the influence of the Righteousness Qi, his thoughts were extremely clear, and all distracting thoughts were eliminated. He was like a robot with pure rationality. His brain's CPU was running at high speed, and his reading efficiency was increasing rapidly.
The only thing that worried him was that in this state, he was too rational, so rational that it made people feel afraid.
No, to be precise, in this state, he did not have any negative emotions such as worry or fear at all.
Because these negative emotions were also a type of distracting thoughts.
His rationality told him that the presence of Righteousness Qi would slowly affect his humanity, eventually making him a true Confucian moral gentleman, a moral model.
This change was not his original intention. It was completely the passive influence of the Righteousness Qi divine art instilled by the system.
However, when he thought of the benefits brought by the Righteousness Qi, he hesitated.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the third-grade power of Confucianism that came with the Righteousness Qi divine power.
Rather, he found it hard to give up on such an efficient reading experience. It was like playing a game and experiencing the thrill of spending money. Who would want to be a poor player?
Just the entry-level Righteousness Qi alone had increased his reading efficiency by more than three times. Then, what about the initial success, the great success, and even the perfection of the Righteousness Qi?
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.
