Chapter 162 Proposal (Part 2)
Liu Wensou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you can't. Last time you just pretended to go to Kujing Lane, which has caused panic among the people. If you go now, all the ministers are there, and there are also imperial guards and guards, which will definitely bring endless troubles to the people of Kujing Lane."
With the current formation, we can't go at all.
As Liu Wensou said to a guard, Zhao Kuangyin said, "You go to Kujing Lane to call Song Jiu, and ask him to bring those textbooks."
"Here." When the guards went down, they were all riding on horses, and the speed was very fast. Song Jiu brought them. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was not on the dock, but stood in the inn of the future, looking at the strange building shape.
Song Jiu saw the carriage.
Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Are you writing textbooks?"
"Yes, your Majesty."
"Why don't you come to watch the ceremony today?"
"With General Han, I have a lot of business during this period, including docks, main shops, amusement parks, inns, and coal workshops. Various technical research and development are needed. Including glass and distilled liquor from laboratory to large-scale mass production. Students need to make up for classes that have been moved, textbooks, and the court has developed new car wheels. We have to go to the steel supervisor occasionally. We are too distracted, and we can't turn our minds. Although the docks are good, there are still many things, so we can only solve some of the things that can be solved quickly, such as textbooks. In this way, only we can afford to bear the matter, so we will watch the ceremony in the future." Song Jiu was telling the truth, but it was mainly to propose marriage as soon as possible. That auspicious day was just to find excuses.
"Going to Bashu has dragged you down."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. I'm lucky enough to go to Bashu to do some practical things. It's worth it. It's just this delay. It won't stop in the past two or three months. The students' graduation time will be delayed."
"It's great if you can think like this, what about the textbook?"
Song Jiu brought a large stack of textbooks from the horse's back. Because it was a brush calligraphy, it was very thick. There were six books in total, each with more than a thousand pages. However, after printing, the handwriting would become smaller and compressed to three or four hundred pages. It was mainly compiled by students, and Song Jiu organized and revised it, and then the text was polished by five gentlemen including Zhu San. It was almost over.
Zhao Kuangyin opened it and read it, with pictures and texts. He was reading the Enlightenment Papers. In order to let more people understand it, Song Jiu let Zhu Sanyan and Zhang Wu polish the text, but he still said it again and again, don’t want the four and six styles, it’s better to have half of the text and half white, so that everyone can understand it.
This time, it was not Song Jiu's outline lecture notes, which were very detailed, as well as punctuation marks and pattern descriptions, and even Zhao Kuangyin understood most of them. But this was exactly what he was worried about, and he said obscurely: "Song Jiu. It was published into a book and it is easy to spread abroad."
"Your Majesty, it's okay. It's only an enlightenment version and a first-grade textbook. It includes the second-grade textbooks, which are all very simple knowledge. When you are in the third-grade, you will pay attention and report to your Majesty according to the situation. But if you want to truly learn the knowledge of matter and reach the level of a Weishi, it will take at least five years."
"How many years have you studied?"
"Your Majesty. I have not studied for a long time, for one or two years. But I have been making progress."
No one said this.
"Although some students studied and participated in the experiments with Weichen, the important experiments were still twenty-one personal disciples. Weichen signed a contract with them and made notarization by the two kings. These disciples would not be released, but would use them for the future training of the academy to become a teacher. That is, they might be able to make one or two equipment, but they still know the reason but do not know the reason, and they cannot figure out the principle. Even the three math problems that Weichen had asked could only be learned and solved after at least three years of learning."
When talking about those three math problems, everyone laughed out loud. Where did it come out and where the rewards were placed, but there was no one answered a question correctly so far.
"Only you understand this knowledge, you can grasp the right position. The important thing is to keep it confidential."
"I know," Song Jiu said. In fact, Song Jiu is really a little difficult with it. If it is really kept secret, it might be like a divine arm bow. Later generations knew that it had a mechanical clone, which made it more powerful than the European longbow, but only God knows what it is. Now Song Jiu has broken his head and can't figure it out. It's the same as material science. If it is really kept secret and it is useless to only popularize ordinary knowledge, then after the dynasty, the true essence of mathematics, physics and chemistry will become a mystery like a divine arm bow.
But when it is popularized, it is not afraid of the Khitan. It is still mainly nomadic. If it really learns the science of matter and Confucianism, can this country compete with the Song Dynasty? It is not afraid of the Southern Tang and Southern Han Dynasty. The emperors of the two countries are competing for fun, and can they still think of the science of matter?
What he fears is a real foreign country.
Like Europe, there is no Confucianism, and it will not regard Confucianism as orthodox. Once it is obtained, it will be regarded as authentic knowledge without the constraints of Confucianism. It will become popularized quickly. Will it rise early? Unfortunately, I don’t remember it so clearly and don’t know the history of the development of Europe.
There is another country, the Japanese country.
If all of them are released, it will evolve into the situation like the Tang Dynasty, and the advanced culture will be spread desperately there. Influenced by Chinese civilization, this vulgar island country has rapidly transformed from a slave society to a feudal society. It is the Chinese Civilization Code that sets its foundation. If not, what is the difference between it and those countries in Southeast Asia? Unfortunately, he is not an emperor, otherwise he will find a way to suppress the civilization of this country. If these knowledge is passed on, it will not be good.
Once the reality spreads, it is a time to compete for importance and develop. Now there is nothing wrong, but it will be a big deal later. Even at this time, Song Jiu thought of five people, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and Ercheng. Unfortunately, he would not live that day. Otherwise, before these four people grew up, they would be found and killed one by one! Especially Sima Guang, if he killed him, everything would be fine in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin looked through it for a while and returned it to Song Jiu. Song Jiu said, "Your Majesty, this is also a science. It's almost done. I dared to ask Your Majesty to write a postscript."
"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
The next day, Song Jiu received a postscript from the imperial gift, an extremely gorgeous four-six body. In fact, it was explained clearly in just one sentence. The Song Dynasty was full of blessings and good luck. A strange man came from heaven to pass on his knowledge to our student Song Jiu, which means that the Song Dynasty was the destiny of heaven.
However, it has more than a thousand words!
Song Jiu laughed silently after seeing it. This was a standard Song Dynasty four-six-style article. But it was definitely not written by Zhao Kuangyin, so I didn’t know which minister wrote it on his behalf. He started to ask craftsmen to carve the plate. It was also a huge project, with six volumes of books. After printing the carving plate, it would reach 2,100 pages, nearly 1.2 million characters, which was more than ten times the root of "Shuowen". The three drafts, the most student wrote nearly 100,000 words from writing to modifying. Including five gentlemen, each of them also wrote six or seventy thousand words in order to polish it.
Dr. Yan looked at it with great emotion, it was not easy.
Song Jiuyixiao, is it too much? There is a place called the starting point in later generations. If you don’t code three million words a year, you won’t be called a writer. A person’s workload of 46 people in less than half a year can finish the workload of 46 people in less than half a year.
Two thousand one hundred pages means that two thousand one hundred stone slabs must be carved, and the characters must be carved in the opposite direction, and the characters must be carved in the opposite direction.
In order to achieve speed, Song Jiu was not afraid of spending money, so he asked the yamen to invite more than 300 craftsmen, almost half of the carving workers in major bookstores in the capital, but it was not enough, so he asked the court for support. He transferred more than 400 craftsmen from the surrounding prefectures and counties to the capital. Fortunately, the weather was neither cold nor hot, so he was placed in the empty warehouse. Carving it in it. This robbery cost more than 2,000 stalks. The money was used, so the speed was kept up. If seventy craftsmen carved, one person had to carve thirty stone slabs, God knew when it would be finished.
The craftsmen were carving. Song Jiu began to move part of the laboratory and barely produce energy. It was not as good as the glass in later generations, but it could meet the best glass standard for Dashi. But this is a mature technology, not the best glass occasionally burned from Dashi. It can be more large-scale and process-based, and the cost is lower. If you make a slight improvement, you can indeed achieve the best glass as Song Jiu said, and it will dump it in turn at Dashi.
This is a ancestor who burns money. The burning of more than a dozen craftsmen is disappointed. It is not over yet. They continue to burn, including sulfuric acid and boric acid. Now they can barely produce mass-produce, and the cost remains high. Fortunately, boric acid powder accounts for a low proportion in burning glass. Therefore, they moved the craftsmen to the houses built this spring and will not be moved to Hezhou for the time being. However, these craftsmen Song Jiu looked down on them. They are not scholars, farmers, industrialists, and commerce, but experts.
Although it was a temporary house, when Song Jiulin left, he repeatedly told him that it must be beautiful and comfortable. One person has a set, but it is still three or three. The real three major rooms are moved out, which are experiments related to glazing. While mass production is used, it continues to improve the miniaturization tests. However, the two acid tests are still retained on the river bank. No one dares to imagine how much it will burn until the end. However, this can be moved back temporarily.
There are too many things to do, but Song Jiu can finally return to normal teaching.
Dr. Yan looked at him teaching students, shook his head and said, "It's not easy."
More than ten days later, the manager who was in charge of the carved version brought six books and said, "Jiulang, they have been printed. Do you look at the samples?"
Song Jiu read it carefully, and Mr. Zhu and the students also came to watch. The manager asked, "Jiulang, you can invite the bookstore people to come."
This is a quick picture. In the past, the printing of books was either the presided over by the imperial court, and most of them were the Imperial College, the Secretary, the Sitian College, and the Chongwenguan to engrave various official books. They would also engrave some books with good conditions in each prefecture and county. More than 400 craftsmen were transferred to the court from these institutions.
Either the major bookstores, the front shop sells books, the back shop carries books, and the more than 300 craftsmen who helped each yamen to use various methods came from these bookstores. They all serve commercial nature.
Song Jiu’s six sets of books were used for teaching, and most of them were circulated through major bookstores to the public, otherwise they could only be distributed for free. In this way, no matter how much Song Jiu had, it would not be enough to distribute them randomly. Song Jiu nodded and said, “First start construction, print one thousand sets, each divided into five hundred sets, and distribute them to Hebei in Hezhong.”
"Here, how much does that cost a bookstore?"
"Six hundred cents."
"Six hundred cents, that's not enough. This amount of money is not enough for ink paper and craftsmanship. Jiulang, you're not a little talkative. Do you know how much your handout costs outside? Eight hundred cents cost, the content is not as good as one of the books."
"I know, but this is a good deed, an education, and a training of talents for the country. Other money can be made, but this money cannot be made."
"The money for saving lives and helping the wounded cannot be made, and the money for education cannot be made. Jiulang, this is something that I appreciate very much," said Dr. Zhang.
"What do you know, the old master? The price of 600 cents means that the more you sell, the more Jiulang loses. Jiulang vegetables make some money, and the money is also great. Besides, the money is not from the flood, but from the money earned by wisdom!"
"Manager Zhu, don't argue, just like that, 600 cents of money, and I also told the bookshops that they would make a little money, but I don't want each set to sell for more than one crane. How to sell has nothing to do with me, but an agreement must be signed when ordering. If it exceeds one crane, I must compensate me ten times the book money."
The manager left reluctantly.
He asked Yanei to invite him to take care of Song Jiu. What is the purpose of taking care of him is to make money, but he was very unwilling to do this business.
Indeed, Song Jiu was doing a great loss in this transaction. In the end, not including those free gifts, the cost of the carving was also excluded. After printing it, the cost of a set still reached nearly 700 cents. There is no way, paper is expensive, ink is expensive, and it is also big characters, which takes up paper!
Otherwise, Song Jiu would have wanted to sell it cheaper. His idea set a precedent. In fact, there was a kind of engraving book called Jiayi in the Song Dynasty. After the engraving was completed, it was given to relatives, friends or private school students for free. Because of the limited financial resources, the number of seals was small, but those who do good deeds were finely proofread and had good quality, and the quality was often higher than that of official engraving. However, the country has not yet improved, and there are not many people with unique wealth, and there have not been any family engraving. Song Jiuban Jiayi was the first to be infected.
The managers of dozens of bookstores arrived one by one. Looking at the book and listening to the price, I felt incredible. A book of Book of Changes is only more than 20,000 words, and the price is 150 words, and the price is 1,500 words, and the price is such a thick six books.
If someone has to sell this way, what can I do? It’s better to sell it cheaply, so I will save myself from fear of Song Jiu’s repentance, so I signed more than 7,000 sets at once. When I heard this number, Manager Zhu was so anxious that he was about to jump. However, cheapness does have the benefits of being cheap. In less than a month, seven thousand sets of books were sold out.
The managers of the bookstore were overjoyed and left. Manager Zhu kept thinking about it and continued to leave. Yuping said, "Jiulang, you can send a matchmaker to propose marriage. You have made an appointment with the Pan family's wife for a one-month period, and now it's almost forty days."
"I'm so busy that I don't know the day."
"There is not much money at home," Yu Ping said. Song Jiu wanted to use money, but Yu Ping didn't stop her, but she was also frightened. The high-priced vegetables sold all over the capital. However, in just a few months, the houses built by more than a dozen glass craftsmen and glass workshops, and the money given to Pan Weide, the money used for the experiment, and the money used for the engraving of this book, went down half of the money. The experiment continued to burn money, and when it was hot, they had to build a new classroom and other expenses that they couldn't remember. If the marriage was done, it was the Pan family and the betrothal gifts were not missing. I made a lot of money last year, but the money was not enough immediately.
Song Jiu said: "It's really not possible. After the glass is officially burned, put it on the main store, use it as an advertisement, and then sell glass."
"This is an idea," Yuping said with a heart of her heart, "Tomorrow is a good day, let the matchmaker go to the Pan family."
"OK."
The next day, the two matchmakers came over. This was the beginning and a good start. Part of them was their own strength, and part of them wanted to say that Tian seemed a little reluctant. The two matchmakers' mouth skills became particularly important. Yuping gave the two matchmakers a gold ingot of more than 30 or two, and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to the Pan family for Song Jiu.
Chapter completed!
