Chapter 1169
Chapter 1172 fortnightly
()..,
The semi-monthly publication is actually very thick, with more than 100 pages.
This is a very thick book, selling for one hundred copper coins.
It’s not cheap, but there are already many people who can buy it at this time.
Technology was improving, and later the price of a book was directly reduced to about fifty copper coins.
After the scale is increased, the price can still be lowered. As long as more people buy and the quantity increases, a copy of twenty copper coins is also possible.
When a half-monthly publication only has twenty copper coins, it has the meaning of mass distribution and mass dissemination.
Zhang Yu made people continue to transform technology, from papermaking to printing, which will definitely bring down the price.
Zhang Yu drank a few sips of tea, and then listened to these students’ discussions.
No one will care how these students talk about politics. Don’t do it, let alone make it out of nothing. The rest is okay.
In addition, there are many articles in the semi-monthly magazines, and all that can be published can be eulogized for a while.
“Do you know that this bachelor of Cai Yongcai has finally completed the compilation of the history of Han Dynasty, a book comparable to the records of the history.”
Cai Yong has been studying the history of Han for many years, and at this time he finally heard that he was about to complete it.
Cai Yonghui was so slow because after arriving at Jiangdong Academy, there were too many books, the collision of various views, and the emergence of various knowledge, which made him change many things in the past.
There are many things in it for him to learn, and he can study and repair the book at the same time, so the speed is slowed down.
Although it has slowed down, the content is richer and the quality is very good.
This is justified, because Huangfusong, Zheng Xuan and others have already read it and made some comments.
Several masters from Jiangdong Academy commented, how could there be falsehoods? This Cai Yong book has not been published yet, and I don’t know how many people who print books have already focused on Cai Yong.
Once this is printed, it will definitely sell well.
It is undoubtedly a Huoshu, immediately able to market the entire Datang.
Now, knowledge has to be paid, and how much money each of these merchants have to give Cai Yong, and they have to pay this money.
Many businessmen came to the door. Originally, Cai Yong didn’t collect money, but after being persuaded, Cai Yong collected the money and advertised.
It’s very simple. He wants people to know that knowledge can make money, so that more people can participate.
Only in this way can more people study and learn.
As long as you study hard, you can live a good life in various ways.
The person opposite Zhang Yu also held a fortnightly, but he didn’t seem to discuss it with others.
“This Xiongtai, you take such a serious look, why didn’t you mean to discuss with others?” Zhang Yu asked.
“Not interested in.”
Zhang Yu didn’t know what he was not interested in.
It is not convenient for Zhang Yu to disturb people’s reading. The other party turned pages one by one, Mu Han kept listening, quietly listening to the students around him discussing.
“I like the engineering knowledge above, but I only have two articles each time, which is too few.” The other party finally put down the semi-monthly and said.
“Engineering? If you like, you can apply to the Engineering College. There are a lot of materials in it, but you can read it at will.” Zhang Yu said.
“Hey, there is only one engineering college in the world. I am in Xuzhou, and my mother is very sick and can’t travel far.” The other party said after a sigh.
Zhang Yu came to realize that there were difficulties.
Zhang Yu looked at him. He looked in his thirties, dressed casually, like a wealthy man, and unlike a businessman or a student, Zhang Yu couldn’t feel what he looked like.
“This engineering science is not valued by the people of the world, but my husband actually likes it?” Zhang Yu asked again.
“What’s the use of studying? This engineering is really useful. It can build a lot of things, and it can enrich the country and strengthen the army.” The other party said.
“I look down on Mr., and I don’t know that Mr. Yunxia has this knowledge when I’m under.” Zhang Yu naturally can’t say that he is the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, he can only use a pseudonym.
“It’s just a complaint. Several people in the world will learn that engineering. It’s a craftsman, and it’s the lowest class.” The other party said.
The other party sighed, took a sip of tea, and said: “Science, agriculture, industry and commerce, formerly workers were still in front of businessmen, but nowadays, the status of merchants is very high. This craftsman is already the lowest-ranking existence. This is a general trend and there is no way to change the fact.
“Hey, I’m talking too much. I’m called Yi Bo in the next. I was a craftsman in Jiangdong in the early years. Later I opened a workshop by myself and made a lot of money.
No wonder the other party can easily sit here and comment on current affairs. It’s really impossible to have no money.
“His Majesty Datang has established the Royal Academy of Engineering, and he will definitely attach importance to craftsmen.” Zhang Yu said.
“Yes, your Majesty takes it seriously, but people in the world don’t take it seriously. You can’t change it overnight.” Yibo sighed and shook his head.
Zhang Yu thinks he is an individual talent, likes craftsmanship, but also willing to study.
“You can write articles for submission, so that more people will pay more attention to engineering. Maybe it has some effect.” Zhang Yu said again.
The other’s eyes lit up, which was a good idea.
If the other party is really talented and can write good things, Zhang Yu will be able to pay attention to it, and it may be useful in the future.
Zhang Yu sat in this teahouse for a long time and learned a lot.
These are very important, Zhang Yu also heard people arguing about a hundred schools.
Hundreds of scholars, Zhang Yu intends to involve other academics. In the future, there will only be classics, and there will be no hundreds of scholars.
When taking the exam, all the classics of each family are included. Only in this way can the culture prosper.
After prosperity, it will remain dominant in the future.
Zhang Yu borrowed the latest half-monthly from Yibo.
Half of it is current affairs, followed by articles in various fields, including literature, history, medicine, engineering, etc., and some law, geography, physics, and so on.
Semi-monthly magazines are very miscellaneous, and only in this way can various disciplines flourish.
“It seems that a semi-monthly publication is not enough. We should also compile monographs on various majors, and let some people with other hobbies choose books to study. Only in this way can we flourish more quickly.”
The hundreds of schools here are not the ones in the Spring and Autumn Period, but more disciplines such as physics, geography, arithmetic, etc. Zhang Yu wants to move modern science over, but this should not be urgent. People in this age learn slowly.
Zhang Yu was drinking tea, flipping through the fortnightly, and reading the article on it.
“Brother Mu, this engineering can create things and generate value, but what value can learning literature and history generate?” Yi Bo said.
Zhang Yu feels that this Yibo is a bit extreme. It is naturally useful to study literature. After all, it can transform the entire society and allow the entire society to settle down in ideology and culture.
What Zhang Yu has to do is to let all engineering students also learn literature and history, not just a craftsman.
“Craftsmen can rejuvenate the country, I agree with this point, but literary history is a heritage, and there is nothing missing.” Zhang Yu said.
Yi Bo thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said, “It’s in Xia Menglang.”
