Qiu Shufen replied calmly, "It's the family's meeting building."

"Which group is Group A?" Ma Sisi asked puzzledly.

Qiu Shufen smiled and said, "It's not Group A, it's the family."

boom!

Ma Sisi's heart was shocked.

This conference building feels like it’s bigger than the White House!

How big a family is that needs such a large conference building?

The car continued to move forward.

We passed by a series of extremely beautiful gardens and orchards until we arrived in front of a huge main building.

"What is this?" Ma Sisi suddenly asked, pointing at the tall main building outside the car.

Qiu Shufen: "Where we live."

Ma Sisi's heart was shaking violently again.

How many people can live in such a luxurious palace-like place?

Qiu Shufen saw the confusion on her face, but did not explain.

The car continued to move forward.

West of the main building.

"This is?"

"Warehouse."

"What is such a large warehouse used for? A slaughterhouse?"

"No, it's for home use, used to store food and various household items."

"Hiss!~" Ma Sisi took a breath of cold air.

Passing by a building where people in uniform appeared.

"Which building is this?" Ma Sisi asked.

"The servants' building."

"Hiss!~" Ma Sisi took a breath of cold air again.

"What about this one?" She pointed to the building where two helicopters were parked.

"Security building."

"Hiss!~" Ma Sisi almost popped her eyes out.

“Is such tight security necessary?”

"Hmm." Qiu Shufen did not explain.

This is just the beginning. There is a larger security base hidden in the mountains of this peninsula.

She said nothing more and continued forward.

"What about this one?" Ma Sisi asked, pointing to a red cross building.

"Family Medical Building." Qiu Shufen said concisely.

"What are these three floors used for?" Ma Sisi asked, pointing to another building.

"Multi-story parking lot."

"Hiss! How many vehicles can't park? Why do we need such a huge parking lot?" Ma Sisi was amazed.

"This floor can probably accommodate about 80 cars, and there is another floor underground, which can accommodate about 300 cars in total."

"Hiss!" Ma Sisi held her head. She couldn't imagine why so many cars and such a large parking garage were needed. "Do we really need such a large parking garage?"

Qiu Shufen nodded, "Of course, it's not enough now. We are planning to build a three-dimensional parking garage that can accommodate 500 cars near the entrance of the manor."

Many of these are luxury cars from family collections.

As the collection of vehicles grows, the space here is no longer large enough, and a new parking garage is being planned.

"Hiss!~" Ma Sisi was shocked again.

Is this garage not big enough?

The car continued to move forward and arrived at a pentagonal square full of artistic atmosphere.

There are five buildings at each corner of the pentagonal square.

"Where is this place?" Ma Sisi asked.

She was already deeply shocked, but she still asked the question in her mind out of habit.

Then she heard even more shocking words.

"It's a family museum, library, and gift building." Qiu Shufen said lightly.

"What?!" Ma Sisi couldn't help but widen her eyes!

“Family museum?!”

"Ah."

"Family library?!!"

"OK."

"Gift building?!!!"

"Uh-huh."

"Hiss!~" Ma Sisi felt her throat getting a little dry from breathing in.

In addition to confusion, I was also shocked.

She was puzzled.

What kind of family needs such a huge library?

What kind of family needs such a huge museum?

There is such a big gift building?!

"This building is the library, the other three buildings are museums, and the smaller one is the gift building." said Qiu Shufen.

"Hiss!~" Ma Sisi looked at the buildings in shock again.

All this was beyond her understanding.

My heart was in turmoil and even my breathing became short.

"Come on, let's get off."

As she spoke, Qiu Shufen pressed the button, the car door opened automatically, and she got out of the car first and walked towards the library.

“Ouch!~”

I had only taken a few steps when I heard a cry of pain from behind.

She turned her head and saw that it was Ma Sisi sitting on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiu Shufen asked puzzledly.

Ma Sisi smiled bitterly, "My legs are weak."

Qiu Shufen shook her head slightly. He was so unruly just now, but now he can't even walk?

She stepped forward and helped him up.

"Where are we going?" Ma Sisi asked in a dry, trembling voice.

Qiu Shufen looked towards the library and said, "Let me show you something at the family library."

Ma Sisi was puzzled, what could be more shocking than what she just saw?

The two came to the first floor.

Facial recognition is successful and the electric sensor door opens automatically.

The first floor is the lobby. There is nothing else in the center except an island counter and a desk and chairs.

However, in the huge glass cabinet embedded in the wall behind the island counter, Ma Sisi saw a row of books with dark golden covers.

It doesn't look like something modern.

She asked curiously, "What's that thing on the whole wall?"

"The Yongle Encyclopedia." Qiu Shufen said lightly.

Ma Sisi was both shocked and puzzled. "Didn't they say that the Yongle Encyclopedia was lost? There are only about 400 copies left in the world?"

She looked at the dark golden books covering the wall.

Looking more closely, I found that there was more than one wall. Behind the wall was a huge pillar, and the other three walls were covered with the same books.

She silently estimated that there were probably no less than ten thousand books.

Yongle Dadian

She knew something about this extraordinary book.

In the first year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di decided to build a great work that would benefit all generations.

The purpose is to integrate all the classics, history, collections of literature, astronomy, geography, medicine, divination, Buddhism, Taoism, skills, etc. since human records began into one book.

This epic work had a compilation team of up to 3000 people, and it took five years to finalize, with a total of 22877 volumes!

The catalogue consists of 60 volumes, divided into 11095 books, and the entire book contains 3.7 million words.

It brings together thousands of years of knowledge and wisdom of Chinese civilization and is the first, most comprehensive and largest encyclopedia in human history!

It is a priceless treasure!

Later, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was worried about the loss of the original copy, so he ordered a copy to be made.

Strangely, after the transcription was completed, the original copy completely disappeared and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty did not have originals, only copies.

Many people have been researching where these books went. Some say they were buried in the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, while others believe they were burned in the war. There is no consensus.

Only copies remain in existence today.

But this copy also had a rough fate and suffered many disasters. Over the hundreds of years, only about 400 copies were left.

It caused countless people to sigh.

When Ma Sisi saw these books, she was shocked. Could it be that all the other copies were here?

Next, she heard words that overturned her perception.

Qiu Shufen nodded. "Yes, many copies are indeed missing, but all of the copies here are originals, 11095 copies, not a single one missing."
