Chapter 200 Copyright
You know, there's no such thing as copyright at this time.
In other words, for the ruling class, it is a joke to say that patents talk about copyright!
The new paper, which is so cheap and much more convenient than bamboo slips, will definitely cause an uproar among the world's readers once it comes out!
Tang Qi, as the producer, and Dahan Department Store, the seller, will have supreme prestige among the readers!
Let's not talk about how amazing the master behind Tang Qi is, just talk about the benefits in it.
It's not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.
I thought that His Majesty would definitely find a reason for Tang Qi to hand over his skills, and then give some money and status even if it was compensation, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Combined with Tang Qi's refusal to be the crown prince's master before, His Majesty actually didn't care at all.
It seems that this person's favor is far beyond my expectations......
"Chen's workshop is still working day and night, and when the stock is sufficient, the new paper will start to be sold in Dahan Department Store." Tang Qi explained, "The price is 10 yuan a stack. ”
Of course, you can't make much money at this price, but this kind of thing can't be just to make money.
There are more profiteering goods in Dahan Department Store, and this is not bad.
"In this way, it is the luck of the great man." Liu Che was pleased, "When the new paper goes on sale, I will send someone to the flagship store of Dahan Department Store to congratulate and use the new paper as the royal paper!" ”
Other officials who had no ill will towards Tang Qi also expressed their appreciation.
"This is a good deed!"
"An Dinghou is indeed a good minister!"
"In the future, scholars from poor families will be able to afford paper!"
"Although Andinghou likes to write strange things, he is not bad in nature."
"What's strange, I think that Settle is pursuing the truth of the world, which is much more reliable than some gods and gods."
"Who are you talking about!"
"The lower official didn't say anything about you, what are you anxious about?"
"Boom!"
The Lang official on duty in the hall neatly poked the ground with a halberd to remind the officials to be quiet.
Only then did the officials fall silent.
"Even if the paper isn't expensive, what about the contents?" Liu Che was still very curious, "I look at the words in it, it doesn't look like it's handwritten, and it's much more square than ordinary small seals." ”
During the Han Wu Dynasty, the official font was still the small seal, which was much simpler than the big seal, but in general it was still more complicated.
Tang Qi briefly talked about the theoretical technology of engraving printing, and then explained.
"This is a font that has been specially improved by the minister in order to facilitate printing, and the minister calls it a printed type."
If you say it hard, some of it is like a combination of Xiao Seal and Song Ti.
The Song style is the printing style produced in the Ming Dynasty, and of course it cannot be directly applied now, but it is much more convenient to combine it with the small seal than to use the small seal directly.
Liu Che sighed with emotion: "Sir's many wonderful ideas are all for the well-being of my big man!" ”
According to the theory of block printing, the cost and efficiency are indeed not comparable to that of handcopying.
And the larger the amount printed, the lower the cost.
Mr. Tang used to say that small profits but quick turnover, which should be the truth.
Gongsun Hong couldn't help but say: "Settle down, this official has a reluctant request......"
Needless to say, everyone knows what the prime minister wants to say.
This time, Liu Che didn't stop it, but looked at Tang Qi with expectant eyes.
Tang Qi happily agreed: "The prime minister can send officials to my workshop to learn techniques, and the lower officials will definitely let the craftsmen at home teach them!" ”
"Good!" Gongsun Hong was overjoyed.
Printing is not the same as paper.
Paper is a consumable, and as long as it is cheap enough, it is okay to have it purchased by the government.
Anyway, even if it is taken over from the Shaofu, ordinary officials need to spend money to buy it.
It's nothing more than the difference between money going to the treasury or private pockets.
However, if printing technology can be popularized among officials, I don't know how much administrative efficiency can be improved, and it can also save a lot of places for officials.
At this time, administrative officials, even county officials, needed to maintain a large group of subordinate officials.
It's because it's inconvenient to write!
Official administrative documents must be carved and preserved in bamboo slips, and just a document of hundreds of words will take most of the time of the knife and pen.
Official administrative documents, on the other hand, often require many copies.
If you don't raise more people, just paperwork can bring down any official!
But with engraving printing, only a few masters need to be engraved in the future, and it is easy to issue administrative orders to the world.
I don't know how convenient it is!
Thinking of this, even Gongsun Hong couldn't help but feel that Tang Qi was a little pleasing to the eye.
Liu Che was also very moved: "I will not let Mr. suffer, Mr. is now 10,000 households, and it will increase to 30,000 from now on!" ”
In addition to influencing income, it is also an important criterion for evaluating the status of the Marquis of Guannai.
For example, the Marquis of Anding and the Marquis of Changping are both the Marquis of Guannei.
Tang Qi's food yi is 10,000 households, and Wei Qing's food yi is 50,000 households.
The gold content varies greatly!
Increasing the number of food is equivalent to improving the status of the title.
After all, there is only Chehou in the Guannei, and Chehou is not something that can be sealed casually.
Wei Qing is just Guan Neihou until he dies!
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Tang Qi doesn't care much about these, he will not be like being an official every day, and there are corresponding obligations, of course, the more the merrier.
Seeing that Tang Qi had finally accepted a reward, Liu Che actually felt a little relieved.
It's not easy!
After that, Liu Che suddenly thought of another question: "Mr. Tang, when I was chatting with the prince, I happened to hear the prince say that Mr. mentioned something called 'compulsory education', which seems to be the school system of Mr. 'Teacher', I don't know what it means?" ”
"Ah, this."
The modern Tang Qi naturally puffed up his chest, and pride appeared in his expression.
"The so-called compulsory education is a compulsory, limited-term, low-tuition or even free education system for students all over the world!"
"Regardless of status, male or female, children must undergo nine years of compulsory education after birth."
"From the age of seven to sixteen, most of the expenses were borne by the teacher. Students are only responsible for a small portion of these expenses, and if they can't afford it, they can apply for student loans, like temporary loans. Student loans have no interest and can be repaid within a certain period of time after the end of compulsory education. ”
"Among them, poor students with excellent grades can also apply for free tuition!"
"And these nine years of education are compulsory, and all the people living in my teacher's school, no matter what the reason, are not allowed to be denied education, let alone let their children be denied education."
"This so-called - compulsory education system!"
Tang Qi said proudly: "In the minister's teacher, everyone has a book to read, everyone can understand reason, and there are very few people who are illiterate and can't read articles!" ”
There was silence in the temple.
Liu Che's mouth was wide open, and his face was full of shock.
As for the civil and military officials, they have been completely stunned.
What kind of immortal system is this!
