Chapter 550: The Dictionary (Second Update)
"I look at the first edition like this, let Zheng Gong preside over an acceptance meeting, convene some celebrities and Confucians, test this dictionary, if there is no problem, engrave and print, and the money for printing will come from the general's mansion." Ma Qiang flipped through it and felt that in addition to the layout that needed to be adjusted, he couldn't put forward any new requirements in terms of content.
Nonsense, just the bit of ink in Ma Qiang's stomach, if he can raise any problems, Zhang Zhen can draw his sword and kill himself in minutes.
Zhang Zhen touched his beard, which had made the dictionary a lot whiter, and asked, "Then I don't know how many of the first batch of generals are going to print?" β
"This thing, no matter how much it is printed, it is not too much, in this way, the first batch of 200,000 copies will be printed to test the water, and if the response is good, one million copies will be printed!"
"Two hundred thousand? Million?? Zhang Zhen clutched his chest, only feeling that his heart was about to be unbearable.
How many people are there in Jizhou and Qingzhou? With 1.2 million copies, wouldn't every household have a dictionary?
Yes, just rush to these 1.2 million books, and my name will be left in history!
Not to mention, Ma Qiang really planned to do so.
The great work of eradicating illiteracy, Ma Qiang has been working hard to promote, Jizhou, Qingzhou are mostly plains, this literacy work is still relatively easy to carry out, and when it comes to Yizhou, Yangzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou these places, it is called a difficulty.
In order to carry out the literacy work in these places in the future, Ma Qiang has as many cultural people as possible, and this so-called cultural person actually does not need to be too educated, and in later generations, the mainland has made a list of commonly used words, which is only 2,500, and Taiwan Province has done a little more, 4,800, Ma Qiang takes a middle number, even if it is 3,050, it is enough to know so many words.
Even if you don't know each other, as long as you learn to look up the dictionary, the teacher and the student can learn together!
As long as you can read and write, know how to read and study, then many things in the future do not need to be promoted by the government, and the people will learn independently in order to live a good life.
Therefore, the printing of other books can be delayed, and this dictionary is as fast as possible.
Ma Qiang was a little impatient.
Ma Qiang asked Zheng Xuan to finish sending the letter, and said a few words to Lin Zhi, who was smiling like a jasmine, and was about to leave, when he arrived at the door, he saw Zheng Xuan, the old man, running this way with a brisk walk, and the smoke was about to run out of the back.
"Ming Gong! I heard that the dictionary is compiled? Where is it? Zheng Xuan stared at Ma Qiang with big eyes, and in that look, Ma Qiang had no doubt that if he didn't say a word, Zheng Xuan would swallow himself alive.
"Okay, in Zhang Laona, Zheng Gong, you run slower!"
Pedaling, Ma Qiang looked at the pace of Zheng Xuan, who is known as Confucius, the first Confucian in the world, and suddenly felt that the old master Confucius may not have relied on Confucianism to travel around the world, but probably martial arts....
Ma Qiang walked dozens of meters and suddenly heard Zheng Xuan's laughter.
"My way will be prosperous! My way will be prosperous!! β
Finished... The world's No. 1 Confucian may be crazy...
Of course Zheng Xuan is not crazy, not only is he not crazy, but he also explicitly implies that he can be a compiler, and the supervisor can do it!
Anyway, don't you want to let yourself organize a trial? Don't give some benefit fees?
Zhang Zhen can put his old qualifications in front of Ma Qiang and others, but in front of Zheng Xuan, he has to squat and speak.
Don't say that Zheng Xuan just wants to put on a name, that is, to grab the name of the editor-in-chief... In addition to crying in front of Ma Qiang, what else can Zhang Zhen do.
In this way, the dictionary matter is settled.
The news of the formation of the dictionary also spread quickly, and anyone with a brain knows what an earth-shattering thing it is.
Many of the old and young people of the Jizhou Shi clan who were not willing to come out to help Ma Qiang heard that Zheng Xuan was going to organize an audit, and those who participated could be named in the dictionary, which was called an excitement!
Compared with the name left in history, Kiyota? What more fields!
Ma Qiang looked at the traffic in front of Zheng Xuan's mansion from a distance, he never thought that this dictionary still had the effect of convincing people's hearts.
Tut-tut, no wonder the later Yongle and Qianlong were so fond of repairing books, and the united front work was done well.
Good things always seem to come one after another.
When Ma Qiang was complacent, Yan came to Ma Qiang's office with a thief.
"Yan Fa? What's wrong? But what has happened? β
Yan Fa grabbed his hair, and Ma Qiang was taken aback.
"Your hair... What's wrong? β
As you can see, Yan Fa's hair has obviously decreased a lot, and if she continues to do it like this, Yan Fa will have to wear a plaid shirt to match her hair.
"Sir, isn't this a bottleneck in the recent research, and then I haven't slept for a few days, no, I came to say that I have completed the No. 1 project that Mr. gave me."
"What??" Ma Qiang stood up abruptly, looking at Yan Hair with shining eyes.
"You've completed Project No. 1??"
"Yes, after the trial, it should be able to meet your requirements, sir, so let him take a look."
"Let's go! Go now! Ma Qiang pulled Yan Hair and left, and the guards outside hurriedly followed, and they didn't know what was going on.
ββZhenbei Army Science and Technology Research Center
This is the latest scientific research center built by Guangzong, and the original scientific researchers from the plains have been relocated here one after another.
Ma Qiang was able to punch the master to death, not by his peerless strategy or bravery, but by these cross-era technologies.
Although these technologies are still very low-level.
And Ma Qiang's No. 1 project for Yan Fa is nothing else, it is to solve the problem of short radio communication distance.
Up to now, the radio station built by Ma Qiang is still using a spark transmitter that can only be transmitted over a short distance, this transmitter can only transmit more than ten or twenty kilometers in a pure environment in the Han Dynasty, and the communication is extremely inconvenient, so the cost of the construction of radio stations around the country is extremely high, and it needs to be continuously transferred, once there is a problem at one point, the whole line will be cut off, and Ma Qiang does not know how much manpower and material resources are put into it in order to maintain these communication channels.
It can be said that Ma Qiang's radio network has not had problems so far, which is a miracle.
This is also thanks to the people of this era who know the grace of the newspaper, when the people of the Red Star Camp ate Ma Qiang's meal and wore Ma Qiang's clothes, they really dedicated everything to Ma Qiang, and many people went to the mountains incognito, built a telegraph station to transmit information for Ma Qiang, and there were no complaints for several years.
Now that he has learned that there has been a new breakthrough in radio technology, Ma Qiang's excitement is indescribable.
This time there was such a big thing in Chang'an, but Ma Qiang knew it later than Yuan Shao, which made Ma Qiang feel extremely uncomfortable, and also felt the obstacles to his own intelligence transmission, and now, there is finally a dawn to solve these problems!
