From the skin of the two notebooks, it is obvious that the two notebooks have been with Alfred for a long time, and they are definitely often turned by Alfred. This can be seen from the edge of the hairy cover.
Yang Jing doesn't understand what the figures recorded in the book mean. The place names recorded are temporarily unknown in this time and space because there is no Du Niang and Wikipedia, but Yang Jing knows some of the book names recorded above.
For example, there is a book title in the notebook.
On sea power, 1926
Then the number 1926 was followed by a series of other Arabic numerals.
Yang Jing really doesn't understand what these figures mean, but Yang Jing knows the famous theory of sea power. It is the work of Alfred seyer Mahan, a famous American military theorist at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
This book elaborated the importance of sea power at that time and was regarded as a classic by the navies of various countries before World War I.
However, how can general Mahan's sea power be involved with Alfred? One of them is a navy and the other is a gunpowder maker. It can't be said that eight poles can't hit, but you have to say what close relationship they have. Anyway, Yang Jing doesn't believe it.
It's understandable that Alfred likes the Navy, so he wrote down the name of the book on sea power in his notebook. But the question is, what do the last numbers mean?
If it's just a book on sea power, it's OK to say, but in the notebook, there are more inexplicable book titles in addition to sea power, such as national geography, 081931, followed by a series of numbers. What's the matter?
On the spirit of law by Charlie Louis Montesquieu, 1942... What's going on?
And this book, the outline of civilization, written by Fukuzawa Yuji, 1938
On human nature by David Hume, an Englishman, 1940
......
Yang Jing can understand that most of the above books are about philosophy. After all, Alfred was driven out by his cousin and probably began to study philosophy because he was discouraged. It's reasonable, but what about the following books about music, history, art and so on? What surprised Yang Jing most was that in this notebook, Yang Jing also found pure academic books such as mark Polo's travels, Copernicus's theory of the movement of celestial bodies and Darwin's origin of species. Was it that Alfred was ready to study literature, geography and biology after pondering some philosophy?
What makes Yang Jing wonder most is the names of those pure literary books, such as Mrs. Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's cabin, Hemingway's who the clock rings, Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer
You said that Yang Jing could understand those pure literary works for recreation, but the problem is that Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a children's Literature
These books don't match each other at all. Rao Shiyang Jing couldn't think of any connection between these books after thinking for a long time.
However, Yang Jing found a digital secret from these books, that is, the numbers of 19 * * followed by those books. Yang Jing guessed that this should be the publication date of these books, or the year in which they were published.
Based on these figures, Yang Jing inferred that most of the names of the books recorded in the two notebooks were published from the 1930s to the early 1940s.
This discovery also made Yang Jing immediately realize that the secrets hidden in the two notebooks written by Alfred should have a lot to do with these books.
But with so many book names, where should Yang Jing start for a while.
After looking at the National Geographic, 081931 and the series of numbers in the notebook, Yang Jing immediately remembered that when she first came to the basement, she found a set of National Geographic magazine that had been preserved for half a century from several paper boxes.
So he immediately turned out the newly sorted set of National Geographic magazine and searched it for a long time. Only then did he find the magazine published in August 1931.
After finding out the magazine, Yang Jing began to get excited. Obviously, the titles of these books recorded in his notebook were obviously read by Alfred in those years, or he wouldn't find the magazine here.
Now that you have found this magazine, can you find out other books recorded in your notebook?
Thinking of this, Yang Jing suddenly remembered that there were many big bookshelves in the big study on the second floor of the main building, and most of the books on the bookshelf were old books.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing immediately grabbed the newly found National Geographic magazine, got up and left, and soon returned to the big study on the second floor of the main building.
Yang Jing has been to this study twice, covering a large area of more than 200 square meters. In addition to several large bookshelves on the ground, there is also a large desk made of oak near the French window.
Yang Jing began to look for it from the first bookshelf. Not long after looking for it, she saw a copy of Copernicus's theory of the movement of celestial bodies. When she took it out and turned it back, it was indeed published in 1938, and the publication date was just consistent with the number recorded in the notebook.
Yang Jing was even more excited when he found two books in a row. In the next half day, he searched almost all the books on the shelves in this study. As a result, he found more than 30 books recorded in notebooks in these shelves, and the publication date can correspond to the numbers written in the notebooks.
These books are unique in this study and have not been published in other years.
By this time, Yang Jing can be very sure that the number of 19 * * after the names of those books in his notebook is the year of publication of these books.
But Yang Jing was somewhat disappointed that even if so many qualified books were found in his study, there was still a small gap from the more than 50 books recorded in his notebook.
Obviously, the names of some books recorded in the notebook were either what Alfred saw and wrote down from other places, or those books were cleaned out by the servants after Alfred died.
But it doesn't matter. There's another man who grew up with Alfred.
After asking steward Shelton, Shelton tried to recall: "Sir, after Mr. DuPont died, I remember that some books were taken away by Mrs. Vanessa, but I really can't remember those books."
Yang Jing knows that Vanessa is Alfred's wife. There are still large photos of them in the manor.
When her husband died, she naturally wanted to take away some important relics. It is estimated that Alfred liked reading those books when he was alive, so she was taken away by Mrs. Vanessa as an important relic.
"Alex, I'd like to ask you to do something these two days." after thinking about it, Yang Jing knows that the books taken away should not be found, but these books are not rare ancient books. They are all books with a large circulation. Although most of them were issued 40 or 50 years ago, there should be a lot of them in the world. Therefore, even without those books, these books can be found in the market or library, so Yang Jing is ready to let Shelton buy these books for himself.
"It's very kind of you, sir. Just tell me what you want."
"Well, actually, it's not very difficult. I have a list here. Can you help me buy these books?"
With that, Yang Jing pulled a piece of paper, and then with his own memory, wrote down the names of the books that were not found in his study. Of course, the focus was on the year of publication.
"Alex, I need these books to check some things, but there's nothing here." Yang Jing pointed to some messy books on the bookshelf, which is his "credit" for so many days, "These are the names of the books I wrote down. I want you to buy them for me. But please note that you must buy them according to the year of publication I wrote. If they are not published in that year, don't buy them."
Steward Shelton's eyes fell on the slightly messy bookshelves, frowned slightly, but then smiled and took over the list, looked at it and said: "Sir, most of the books you need were published in the 1930s and 1940s. These books should not be easy to buy in the market now. I need to arrange people to go to the libraries of some big cities to find these books. These old books only have redundant collections in those big libraries."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "as long as there is a way to buy these books, I don't care what it costs. Alex, this will trouble you."
"Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of it for you. Well, if it goes well, you can see these books tomorrow night. Of course, because most of these books are books with a long publishing date. If it doesn't go well, you may see them a little later."
Yang Jing said with a smile, "it doesn't matter to be two days late, but you must buy these books for me."
Steward Shelton nodded and then said, "Sir, an hour and a half later, the restaurant prepared dinner for you. Today is Mexican food, which is the hometown food of our chef Mr. Carlos. I'm sure you'll like it."
Seeing Yang Jing nodding in agreement, steward Shelton nodded slightly and withdrew from the study.
Yang Jing returned to the big desk and sat down. He picked up a book he had just found and put it in front of him. He took out the two notebooks from the storage space and spread them out. His eyes kept moving back and forth between the book and the numbers behind the book title recorded in the notebook
