The discussion of banned books eventually came to an end.

As Tang Qi said, no matter how much his book annoys and disgusts traditional Confucians and officials who worship Huang Lao, the book itself does not touch any bottom line.

After half a month of deletion, revision, and addition, the contents of the "Reader" that might have shaken the foundation of feudal rule have been greatly revised.

The current "Reader" does not degenerate to the point of praising feudal emperors, but it also seems docile and harmless.

At least in Liu Che's eyes, that's basically the case.

The most sensitive of them are those that separate natural phenomena from the manifestation of the gods, and are proved by easy-to-understand drawings and experimental procedures.

This is a matter of saying that it is not big or small.

If Liu Che has the intention to ban it, it can naturally be said that it is a big rebellion.

But Liu Che trusts Tang Qi very much, so the slightest bit of dazzling content in it becomes not so intolerable.

Coupled with the previous "demon possession" incident, the entire court was almost fooled by the theory of ghosts and gods.

made Liu Che very unhappy!

So since Tang Qi has expressed his position in public, of course the matter can be revealed.

Moreover, the reason why the famous Confucian besieged Tang Qi was not all because of conformism.

What is more important is the natural fear of "wild learning" in the official doctrine.

Just like the previous Huang Lao School, it clearly advocated the rule of inaction, but it was not soft at all when it strangled other doctrines led by Confucianism.

At the peak, anyone who studied Confucianism couldn't even step into the court at all!

And now someone has written a book that is completely different from Confucianism, and has promoted it among the people at a low price, and there is a little bit of encouragement to question the tone of certain content of Confucianism.

The author of this book is also very trusted!

Even a little bit, he became the teacher of the current prince!

I can't help but be unvigilant against the celebrities in the court.

But the degree of vigilance is also limited, where is it so easy to create a new school?

Confucianism and Taoism, which are the most widely spread today, as well as the Legalists that the royal family does not say but often practices in person, have not gone through hundreds of years of development and progress.

Countless famous universities have worked hard to constantly improve the various views of their own schools, supplemented by explanations of world views, life outlooks, and values.

Only then did it slowly become whole, to the point where it is today?

And it is not enough for a long time, such as the doctrines of Mohist, famous, Yin-Yang and so on.

Either the theory is too detached from practice, or it only has a theory and ignores the understanding and explanation of the world and the universe, resulting in a natural lame leg and too much limitations.

Even like Zonghengjia, it is actually limited to the theory and time guidance of a certain profession.

There is no way to resist the attack and annihilation from competitors.

Now, it's gradually declining.

Just like the Confucian-Mo dispute, they regarded each other as mortal enemies, but the Mohists' natural flaws were too great to be the opponents of Confucianism at all, and they could only fail miserably.

So as long as Tang Qi did not show a desire to establish a school and an ambition to compete with Confucianism for official doctrines, vigilance would only be vigilance.

Even the celebrities who are the best at inclusiveness will have the idea of "merger" if they don't do it.

Of course, this is also because of the restrictions of the times, so that whether it is a famous Confucian or a Huang Lao, they cannot unscrupulously suppress "heresy".

Try it in the afterlife?

Don't put on a Confucian robe, borrow two words of the sage as a cover.

I am afraid that as soon as the "Reader" is born, it will be exterminated by Confucianism!

Again, that's the same sentence.

Thank God for letting me travel to the Western Han Dynasty, barely catching up with the tail of a hundred schools of thought, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Over there, after Liu Che affirmed that Tang Qi did not dig a pit for him to jump, he was no longer stingy to express his position.

"The things on the "Reader" are amazing, but they are not a big rebellion, so don't mention it if it's a banned book." Liu Che made a final decision, "Besides, in this book, isn't there a detailed list of experimental methods for each theory, if you are not convinced, you can directly debate with Mr. Tang." ”

In the era of a hundred schools of thought, various theories often debate in public in order to compete for the right to speak.

Leaving your opponent speechless is the best way to spread your own doctrine.

Although Liu Che designated Confucianism as his official doctrine, he did not prohibit the successors of other schools from debating with Confucian scholars in consideration of the need to maintain stability.

When the officials heard this, they could only endure it for the time being.

If you continue to entangle, doesn't it mean that you don't dare to debate with Tang Qizhengda, and you can only use your power to suppress people?

stopped the controversy of hundreds of officials about the new book, and Liu Che no longer cared about the delicate mood of the courtiers.

What he was curious about now was a few other things.

"I have also read my husband's book, and the paper is flexible and smooth, which is the best material for writing. The characters are small but upright, and they are not hand-copied. ”

"Why do such high-end books only sell for 100 yuan, won't they lose too much?"

In these years, it is not impossible to do good deeds and send books, but there is generally a certain amount of money, and the gifts are all inferior manuscripts.

That's it, and all kinds of conditions have to be attached.

Tang Qi's books were sold seriously on the shelves, and Liu Che paid attention to them, and they were sold for a whole day, and there was no sign of being out of stock.

At first, I was worried that it would be a limited sale, so the people who rushed to buy it also calmed down.

This is clearly the appearance of doing business seriously!

"Your Majesty should be clear about the problem of paper." Tang Qi arched his hand and said, "The minister has given Shaofu some new paper as an example, Master Sima must have gained something from studying these days?" ”

Liu Che looked at Sima Wang.

Sima Wang wiped his beard and stood up with a wry smile: "Thanks to the Hongfu of Andinghou, the minister has indeed gained something, and Shaofu has successfully copied the new paper of Andinghou." ”

"It's just that the cost has always been high, let alone a book, even if it is a blank paper, it is impossible to sell it at a low price of 100 yuan."

"That's the wrong recipe." Tang Qi explained, "According to the minister's method, if it is such a thick blank paper as the "Reader", 10 yuan is enough to return to the capital, and there is still money to make!" ”

"What?!" Liu Che stood up suddenly, "Is Mr. Tang's words serious?!" ”

Tang Qi smiled: "Of course it's true, Chen's Dahan Department Store is a place to do business, how can it be a loss-making business?" ”

"It's just the recipe for the new paper, please forgive me for keeping it a secret for the time being."

"That's nature." Liu Che was still very excited, "Mr. Tang can use his master's skills to benefit the Han, I am very content, how can I take advantage of it?" ”

If the cost of new paper is really so low, it can completely replace bamboo slips and cloth!

In the future, the cost of reading and writing will be greatly reduced!

Gongsun Hong couldn't help but look sideways.

If the cost of papermaking is really so low, I don't know how much benefit and prestige it can bring to His Majesty.

Tang Qi said that he wanted to keep it secret, but His Majesty actually agreed?
