Luo Feng took the book and examined it for a while. His excitement quickly turned into disappointment. "It seems that this is not the original copy, is it?"
It made sense. How could the original copy possibly be here? After all, as long as there was no war, the Emperor would have possession of the originals, right?
Of course, the value of the Yongle Encyclopedia lay not in whether it was an original or a copy, but in the information it contained. Even so, an original would be preferable.
Even if it was not the original, the content was the same. Just like purchasing a novel written by the author or reading a pirated copy, the content would be identical.
"It seems to be a transcription from the Jiajing era, perhaps a private copy made by scholars from the Hanlin Academy!"
