"It's a pity." Wei Su could hear Li Chang's rejection.
“The library consumes a lot of money and should be promoted mainly by the imperial court.”
The director admitted that this library opened in Nanjing and could make money from wealthy students. . If you move to another county, where can you find people to spend money to enjoy it
"How can the imperial court be rich?" Wei Su knew that the Ming Dynasty did not have enough money now, even if the Xia army in Sichuan won some of the money.
"Li Chief" "Li Chief is good" "Li Chief is here"
After the Li Chief said a few words to Wei Su, the students greeted each other one after another.
"If you like to study, don't exhaust yourself. Taking the imperial examination is to contribute to the country. Even if you fail to pass the exam, you can still contribute to the country in other ways."
< p>The district chief comforted all the candidates in advance. Hanhan said that none of them would pass the exam this year and there would be 260 poor scholars. When the time came, he would ask them if they were willing to work.All the students smiled and nodded in agreement. It didn’t matter whether they really wanted to contribute to the country or not.
Anyway, as long as you live and pay taxes, you are contributing.
"Bachelor Wei, please rest assured and cultivate yourself. Your Highness the Prince's studies are not urgent. If you have any inconveniences in your life, you can ask someone to tell us." The head of the village said to Wei Su again that he wanted to Let's go, come and have a look.
"Thank you for your kindness." Wei Su thanked him.
The village chief and Hanhan turned around and went to the lunch box restaurant. Wei Su was reviewing the situation, thinking about what the village chief of Xiaqiu Village said and whether it had other meanings.
It seems that Zhu Lichang knew that this year’s imperial examination was not easy to pass. In addition, he had a close relationship with the palace. Otherwise, how could he talk about schoolwork for the prince?
According to Wei Su’s analysis, he also He didn't know who saved his life, nor did he know that the prince now went to Xiaqiu Village to get all three meals a day.
"Weisu looks pretty good, how come so many people hate him?" The village manager and Hanhan went to the room behind the box lunch shop to talk.
"If he is not an official, you will not hate him. If he is not praised by the Holy Spirit, there will be no problem. The officials are not targeting him, but all the officials left in the Yuan Dynasty.
The official position is There are so many, and there is only so much power. Everyone wants to have the final say and join forces to get rid of the officials of the previous dynasty.
Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who resigned last year, have people who are uneasy while he is alive. Waiting for someone to unite the officials of the previous dynasty."
Zhu Wentian is very aware of what is going on in the court. Everyone is dividing the cake and kicking others away will leave more cake.
"Alas Weisu actually wants to open a library in all the places in the Ming Dynasty, aren't we going to die?" The director felt dull and changed the topic.
“In fact, opening libraries in state capitals makes money. Free reading and borrowing of books are auxiliary, called social functions.
The real money is not from selling the rooms of rich people. , good pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but our printing workshop.
We put out the books for everyone to read freely. If we don’t have them, we have to compile the books ourselves.purchase.
For example, I designed a set of questions for the imperial examination, and then gave several answers and sold them to scholars to study.
From the beginning of the Tongsheng Examination to the Scholars and Scholars, examination questions and answers were written, and even the poorest people would buy them. ”
Zhu Wentian introduces how to make money by selling test papers. If you want to do well in the exam, others will have the test papers to read. Do you want to buy them?
“Isn’t it enough to borrow from each other? No, you can pass the exam.” There is a certain number of people. I can buy it with my own money or lend it to others. At least I can't do it. ”
I deny the questions raised by the village chief himself. For example, the existing Four Books and Five Classics books must be borrowed from each other with a particularly good relationship.
Including Xiaqiu Village and beyond. To borrow large animals, you either have to come to help with the work, or you need to give money or food. It cannot be used for free.
And this is not a competition. If your village is doing well, my village will not be able to do so. A good thing.
Students have to compete with each other for that position. Maybe they look at those who are competing and talk to each other, wishing that the other person would die immediately.
"Silly. "Hey, are the test questions and answers you mentioned easy to compile?" The village chief was tempted, so that Xiaqiu Village can open libraries to various places.
The people of Xiaqiu Village can stay wherever they go. The Ming Dynasty is so big, why don’t you go and take a look?
“There is no technical content. I would like to compile a large series, but it is not possible for the time being. Starting from this year, the imperial examination will be suspended. The Holy Spirit requires that from Local people recommend good people to serve as officials. "
"Yes, once the imperial examination is suspended, who will buy the books for the imperial examination? In this case, our copper movable type seems to be in vain. "
"We can sell reference books. Wei Su is good at bringing people together to compile books. He will live another ten or eight years to compile a dictionary, like Shuowen Jiezi and Erya.
This dictionary will become the most sold reference book in the future, and I will create another dictionary. Anyway, make one up if necessary. "
"Will it make a lot of money?"
"It is a book that promotes the overall cultural foundation of Ming Dynasty society. The more it sells, the more people will learn from it. There is a difference between literate and illiterate people. "
"Yes, yes, we can't just think about making money. We are not short of money, just have Hanhanyou. ”
“Reference books are commonly used. The paper should be strong, the cover should be thick, and the copper movable type should be added with pinyin, gestures, and punctuation. I will write a page in the afternoon as a demonstration. "
"Thank you for your hard work, Hanhan. ”
“If you want to make money, let’s print storybooks. Lao Shi died, and his student Luo Guanzhong is here, in Hangzhou.”
Zhu Wentian only remembered about printing storybooks. It's a pity that he didn't have the ability to save Shi Naian when he was an important figure. The village was developing the year before last.
There is no problem with Luo Guanzhong. He is now in his forties. Historically, he lived for seventy years. How old.
"Who is Luo Guanzhong?" Zhang Jianhan mentioned his name again and was curious.
"Zhang Shicheng's people used to fight with our current majesty, but later they stopped. I was willing to do it, ran away, and thenI don’t dare to serve as an official here with His Majesty.
He worked hard to write a book. Before, his family was a silk seller and had more money. Since I didn’t have enough money, I had to find a bookseller.
However, his books are not favored by booksellers. We have always wanted to come to Nanjing if there is anything good from Hangzhou. ”
Zhu Wentian briefly introduced Luo Guanzhong’s affairs, and planned to send someone to find him. Where should he write books?
The library is so good, with floor heating or fire walls in winter, and tea in summer. , sour plum soup, mung bean water, free to eat, and responsible for publishing.
There is no need to worry about Lao Zhu causing trouble. If he wants to find you, he will be fine if he hides in Hangzhou.
"Look for him. "Is it profitable to print story books?" It's not a reference book, so at least the capital must be preserved.
"There are no more imperial examinations. It just so happens that students are idle and bored, and the more common people become literate by reading story books. , our books sell better.
Then it involves another industry, storyteller. In ancient times, it was called speaking, and before that, it was called storytelling.
It doesn’t matter what the name is, this industry can promote things among the people in a very down-to-earth manner.
After telling the story, many people will listen, and then let him talk about farming and other aspects, and the people will learn it.”
Zhu Wentian not only wants to print books, but also Publicity.
