    "In this case, who is responsible for this matter?" Li Shimin asked.  Jing Wen heard that Li Shimin agreed, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, in this case, I will personally supervise this matter. Only if I personally supervise it can this plan be truly realized! After all, if it is those who  If Confucian scholars come to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid they won't even bother to study the classics of foreigners. " Jing Wen believed that only he could handle this matter. After all, ancient Chinese people had a blind and arrogant idea, especially literati.  They believe that they are the most central place in the world, and they disdain the culture of other places.  This situation is actually because China has been leading in East Asia for a long time, so they have developed this habit.  They don't understand the West at all, and they don't bother to understand it at all, so they are also a manifestation of arrogance.  They don't know how big the world is, so they are limited to East Asia, so it's not surprising to have such a Yelang mentality.  Therefore, Jing Wen believes that this matter can only be supervised by himself, so that he can truly realize the so-called translation of foreign literature and promote foreign works in China.  If those local Chinese literati were allowed to do this kind of thing, they would end up in a mess and not accomplish anything at all. On the contrary, it would ruin Jingwen's cultural export plan.  "Your Majesty, I hope other yamen will not interfere with this Tongwen Guan. It is a place specifically responsible for the export of culture. Because if other yamen intervene, then I am afraid there will really be many variables. And Tongwen Guan is not better than Hongwen Guan, Hongwen Guan is just  It is a place for teaching and learning, but Tongwen Hall is a place for spreading culture. You can imagine the great responsibility. Therefore, if other yamen are allowed to intervene casually, they may easily be constrained, so please still ask.  Your Majesty, it¡¯s best not to allow other yamen to interfere!¡± Jing Wen said.  "Okay, since this means setting up the Tongwen Museum in the Menxia Province, the status should be from the third rank! This way no one can easily interfere. And from now on, you will be responsible for supervising it, and you will choose the official positions here.  . We can hire some foreigners to be these translators and see if we can translate some of our books and bring them to others when needed!  Jing Wen immediately had a flash of inspiration in his head and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well set an example in the future. If foreigners come to our country in the Tang Dynasty, we should first not give too many gifts of wealth, but only books. Let us give special gifts to those we have  Translated books are given to foreigners so that they can bring them back to their home countries when doing business. After all, culture is the greatest wealth, and knowledge is definitely wealth.  If your Majesty sets an example in person, those foreigners will definitely study our translated books carefully so that they can spread them to each other. " "And most of those foreigners who can come to our country are in their own countries.  The big shots are either rich or powerful. We can use them as role models and let all the people pursue our Central Plains culture. Isn't this a very good result?" Jing Wen asked.  Jing Wen actually meant to let Li Shimin set an example.  Then give the foreigners the works of their own country, and then let the foreigners study them like this.  In fact, this kind of thing also happened in later generations. Some foreign officials gave Chinese officials some local cultural products, and Chinese officials also gave foreign officials some unique cultural souvenirs.  In short, these are things with special cultural connotations.  But are these really meant to be commemorated?  In fact, this is just about promoting culture to each other. In fact, we want to promote culture and let everyone learn.  Of course, this method has become a bad method in later generations.  But it was still very interesting in ancient times.  In this era, the country does not send books, but gold, silver and jewelry.  When those vassal states came to pay tribute, didn't the Central Plains dynasty always return several times their wealth to them?  Reflecting the wealth of the Central Plains dynasty.  But Jing Wen sneered at this kind of behavior, so now he changed his mind and sent books.  Knowledge is priceless anyway, what else can you say?  As for those guys taking it back to the country, then naturally those citizens can start learning.  After all, those who are rich and powerful can set an example, especially public figures, who can set an example.  If those foreign public figures can learn from Chinese culture, then ordinary people will follow suit. Isn't that great?  So Jing Wen is completely deliberately playing tricks on them, asking them to learn Chinese culture, so that Chinese culture can be spread well.  "Then I will give an order in a few days to give some gifts from my country to those foreign merchants in Chang'an who have certain strength. And everyone who goes to the Western Regions to do business in the Tang Dynasty must take some classics from their country with them.  Donate to foreign countriesPeople, what do you think?  "Li Shimin asked. Jing Wen immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, if these foreign businessmen get my Tang Dynasty books, it will be very good.  They will definitely study it carefully and then become our envoys to spread culture in Datang.  We can also hire many foreigners to promote our culture. After all, they are all of the same race, and it is easier for them to trust each other.  If people from the Tang Dynasty go to foreign countries, they will definitely have a natural feeling of rejection.  But if we hire a group of foreigners to spread culture, we will definitely achieve miraculous results.  " "Yes, this is a good method.  The idea that people who are not from my race must have different minds is not necessarily unique to me in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.  If we can hire foreigners to do propaganda instead, then under the propaganda of our own compatriots, we will definitely achieve miraculous results.  "Li Shimin also agreed. "In fact, this is what later generations called foreign countries supporting traitors to slander Chinese culture and then promote foreign culture. Many traitor literati also did the same, relying exclusively on taking advantage of foreign countries.  Then they slandered Chinese culture on behalf of foreign countries, and now Jingwen has copied it for Westerners of this period. All of this is Jingwen¡¯s and his own, not Jingwen¡¯s initiative!  When they arrive, they will be miserable. They never dreamed that Jing Wen deliberately used their descendants to deal with them.
