Chapter 757 Cihai Final Draft Trial Currency
According to rumors, the Crown Princess is pregnant again, which is a big deal
Jubi 70% off, everything This is the case for all the shops in Xiaqiu Village, except for the box lunch shop, which is still three-letter.
Then all the businessmen in Nanjing City followed with discounts or gave away gifts, including brothels
What the people fear most is turmoil, and a stable political environment is what they like most , especially businessmen.
There are more people giving soup in winter, and rich businessmen are afraid. What order will your Majesty give if he is in a bad mood?
Time flies, and it is the time of the Great Cold. January 20, 1374, the 29th day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.
This month has twenty-nine days, and the second day is the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do and did not hold a court meeting. He simply took a three-day holiday on the first day of the twelfth lunar month during the Great Cold period.
The children were happy and ran over to play again. The ice rink in Datian was not the one outside Xiaqiu Village.
More than 3,000 children who lived in the library also came over again, first drank the soup used to wash the skewers, and then skated.
The Crown Princess is also here, spending more time with the children, and is in a good mood.
Except for those on duty who stayed in various offices in the imperial city, all the other civil and military officials arrived, including Wei Su, who compiled Cihai, and a large group of people.
Cihai is almost ready. It needs to be reviewed twice before the final draft is copied, and then sent to the printing shop of the library for printing.
The participating officials are very happy. They have two reference books and they all have their own merits.
When Cihai is compiled, you can work with other people who have prepared first to complete the Hongwu Ceremony. Once it is compiled, this life is enough
"It's been a lot of hard work. Wait for Cihai to finalize it." , Taipu rests for a while, don’t be too busy. The total printing volume of the dictionary is more than 500,000, it is our dictionary of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was talking to Wei Su at this moment, and there was no final version of the dictionary. He probably looked at it and was very satisfied.
Cihai is an advanced reference book for dictionaries. Dictionaries are currently being printed, and at least every official and clerical official in the Ming Dynasty has one.
There are also a large number of dictionaries in the library for people to borrow and use, just don't damage them.
People from scholarly families, such as those who did not stay in Nanjing after the imperial examination was dismissed, bought several copies for themselves and their children.
When the sergeants went to the local areas to eliminate illiteracy, they had to take a bunch of them with them, and give a few to each village. If anyone wanted them later, they would have to pay for them themselves.
The price of the dictionary is not expensive, the cost plus a 10% profit, this 10% also includes transportation fees.
When Wei Su heard that he wanted to rest, he looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I am not tired, I still have to practice the Hongwu Grand Ceremony."
"How can the Grand Ceremony be completed in a day or two? When your body is exhausted, why should I give you a month off to go around with your family? "
Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed. The working people who were finally rescued had to rest, and the animals pulling the carts also had to rest, let alone the people
"Your Majesty, what about the others?" "When Wei Su heard His Majesty said that he could take his family around, he thought it would be okay.
"Let's all take a rest and recuperate our bodies and bones. Everyone is not young."
Zhu Yuanzhang directly gave a holiday to this department dedicated to cultivating scriptures.
Many of them are former officials who have retired at home. The former officials no longer think about the affairs of the court and are tired
They are older and stay at home. Give classes to students who are willing to study, then teach the children at home, and prepare to spend the rest of your life like this.
As a result, the imperial court wanted to revise the Ming Dynasty Dictionary, Ming Dynasty Cihai, and Hongwu Dadian, so they found them again.
As soon as they knew they were going to participate in such things, they became young again and ran to Nanjing with their families. While receiving physical recuperation, they joined in the editing work.
At present, Zhu Yuanzhang has assigned people to collect books. The Hongwu Dadian is an encyclopedia and contains various aspects of content.
Some books are collected in the hands of private individuals, and they have to be taken out and borrowed. After that, if they are willing to sell them, they can buy them, and if they are not willing to sell them, they will be returned to them.
Anyone who is willing to collect books knows how precious books are. When they see the notice saying that a comprehensive book will be compiled, they are willing to lend the books out.
The key is not to lend money in vain. Those who give money should also give them a set of dictionaries and other printed agricultural books.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Wei Su happily went to his friends to talk about this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at the chief: "If they weren't here, it would be really difficult to compile Cihai. It's a pity that there are few people. I don't know when we can see the Hongwu ceremony."
The chief has been silent just now. He said that he actually wanted to watch the children play in the village, but he was asked to stay here.
Now when I hear Zhu Yuanzhang’s question, he directly replies, “I think it only takes a year. The key to the grand ceremony is to sort it out and classify it into categories. Copper movable type is being manufactured continuously. Once the grand ceremony is completed, more printing will be done.”
"It is very good to avoid losing things in the future. Those books and scripts have been reserved." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Duoduo's printing behavior.
If you only have the original and the copy, if something goes wrong or gets damaged, you will have to edit it again.
He then thought about the group of authors he had found in Xiaqiu Village to write storybooks. Now they are only printing but not selling them. Everyone is illiterate, so who can they sell them to?
The storybooks have been prepared. Many books have been published, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has been completed, and Luo Guanzhong is currently working on Water Margin with his master.
Luo Guanzhong himself has many story books, not just the Water Margin he wrote with his master Shi Naian and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by himself.
Other scripts that have not been handed down in history are also written now.
With the addition of other authors, the library has a strong reserve and is waiting to release a few short story books next year for storytellers.
“Return to Your Majesty,It’s almost done. The main thing is that good paper is available and we need to use good paper to continue printing, including dictionaries. ”
What if you don’t talk at all? According to things, it is entertainment, and what is really useful is paper.
The papermaking technology in Xiaqiu Village has been improving, and it can be used to print banknotes. Although the rice paper in Xuancheng County is famous, it cannot be used for printing.
>The key point is that rice paper is expensive and the cost is too high.
The paper in Xiaqiu Village is cheap and good, and the technology is kept secret, so the craftsmen have been given death orders.
Also. The ink used for printing must be printing ink. This is also a secret.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people on the ice and said, "We can print treasure banknotes next year."
"Technology. The reserves are sufficient, but treasure banknotes will be issued next year," Chang asked.
"Issuing or not?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether it was better to issue or not to issue. This You have to listen to the experts, what if you make a mistake?
"You can try to use it in several nearby houses, such as the business and department stores in Xiaqiu Village. If you use treasure money, we will accept it, and you can even have it. discount. ”
The village chief gave a trial method to force the people to accept it. It is better to guide it slowly. There is no rush anyway.
At present, the currency circulation in Ming Dynasty is not bad, mainly because the people are not very good at it. Go out and win the battle. Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website to find and add books for free without anti-theft can be added to the qq group 952868558
