Chang'an side street!

In an unknown small teahouse, several children from poor families talked eloquently.

"Have you heard, His Royal Highness King Yu is going to carry out a big event."

"Oh? I haven't heard of it, so you said to hear about it. ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness wants to sell books, and there are four books and five classics, and the news is true." A scholar in white spoke.

"Really?" Several companions at the tea table looked shocked, and couldn't help but wonder: "However, why does the Xing'an Chamber of Commerce sell books?" Some of them don't make sense. ”

"It's true that it doesn't make sense, but His Royal Highness King Yu has sent people to post notices everywhere." The scholar in white also shook his head lightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Books have always been controlled by those families, and I regret when I think of us poor children who are worried because we can't read books, even if we don't even have the opportunity to take a look, it's a fantasy to want to buy it." ”

"But I never expected that His Royal Highness King Yu would actually start selling books." The scholar in white was overjoyed, but then his face was depressed: "I'm afraid it's difficult to buy books without gold......

"Alas, yes, I'm afraid there are few people in the whole Chang'an who can afford it."

……

At this time, Yuwangfu!

"Your Highness, it's ready, and the book will be on sale tomorrow!"

Shen Wansan trotted in from outside and said with a smile.

"Good!" Yun Yi smiled with satisfaction and said in a condensed voice: "Wansan, remember, tomorrow all the books to be sold will be piled up in front of the Xing'an Chamber of Commerce into a mountain of books, and everyone will know that we are selling books!" ”

"No!"

Shen Wansan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then responded.

"My lord, send a team of sergeants over to maintain order, I'm afraid it will be chaos tomorrow!" Guo Jia said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Yun Yi chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it, I have already made arrangements!" ”

Looking at Yun Yi's ill-intentioned smile, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I'm afraid that some people are going to suffer." ”

"Hahaha!" Yun Yi suddenly laughed, and then said in a condensed voice: "Action, it's officially started!" ”

……

At night, the Imperial Palace Study!

Seeing the sudden appearance of Qingsha, Emperor Shang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said, "Why don't you stay by His Royal Highness King Yu's side?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu is going to do something to the family, and I am ordered to pass the word."

"Oh?" When Emperor Shang heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and then he got up and asked softly, "What is he going to do?" ”

"Your Highness is ready to sell books in large quantities!"

"Oh? Selling books? ”

Emperor Shang couldn't help frowning, and wondered: "But the cost of books is too high, how many people can afford it?" ”

"For illiterate people, who will spend money to buy books in vain, and in the end it will not flow into the hands of the family, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Qing Sha shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that it is not so easy for the family to store all such a number of books, besides, His Highness's pricing for books is very low!" ”

Emperor Shang's face was pale and he asked, "How many volumes are there?" And how much does it cost? ”

"Back to Your Majesty!" Qing Sha's eyes froze: "Three thousand copies of each of the four books and five classics, and they are still being printed, and the price of each volume is only 500 Wen!" ”

Emperor Shang was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Five hundred Wen!" Six thousand copies! ”

After a moment of silence, Emperor Shang slowly spoke: "How did King Yu manage to print so much in a short period of time?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yu invented a movable type printing technique!" Qing Sha succinctly described the printing technique, which immediately shocked Emperor Shang's face.

Emperor Shang suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be frank again and again: "The world's first paper, movable type printing...... I can see why he had made all these preparations so early on, just for this day! ”

"It's just that he seems to have overlooked the most important point!" In addition to being shocked, Emperor Shang couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "Today's people don't know a single word, and reading has become nonsense. ”

Hearing this, Qing Sha suddenly showed a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and his face was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Emperor Shang suddenly gave a blank look, and said angrily: "Don't hide it, say it quickly!" ”

Qingsha pondered for a moment, and said in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty's concerns, Your Highness has long taken them into account. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Shang's face was stunned, but he shook his head again: "But it can't be solved, it's still useless." ”

Qing Xu hesitated for a long time and finally mustered up the courage, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has solved this problem!" ”

"Qingsha, you have really changed, you have only been there for a few days to speak for King Yu like this!" Emperor Shang glared at Qingsha, and said angrily: "I don't believe it, he can really give every ordinary person a teaching gentleman?" ”

Qing Xu smiled helplessly, and then took out a booklet from his arms: "Your Majesty, this is the solution!" ”

"Oh? Big Business Dictionary?! Emperor Shang was stunned and took the dictionary.

Then he opened the dictionary with a puzzled look and muttered, "What strange symbols are they?" ”

Hearing this, Qing Sha smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty, this is the pinyin created by King Yu, with a total of sixty-three characters, and all the words in the world can be read through the patchwork of these sixty-three characters!" ”

"What!"

While shocked, Emperor Shang still vetoed without hesitation: "How can you spell out all the Chinese characters in the world with these rotten characters alone?" Impossible, completely impossible! ”

"Bold Qingsha, did His Royal Highness King Yu send you to make fun of me?" Emperor Shang's face suddenly turned stern!

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Highness only asked me to come over to spread the word, and these are all things I told you spontaneously, and they are all true!" Qing Sha was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

"In that case, let's decipher the characters!" Emperor Shang looked at Qing Sha suspiciously.

Qing Sha immediately pointed to a character and said, "Your Majesty, this character reads ......."

After interpreting several characters in a row, Emperor Shang's face was stunned!

His eyes were staring at the characters in the dictionary, dumbfounded!

Qing Xu couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and said secretly: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me, you slapped yourself in the face, but your subordinates forced you." ”

After the silence, Emperor Shang said softly: "Teach me all these pinyin!" ”

Qing Sha's heart trembled suddenly, His Majesty actually asked him for advice?!

"Your Majesty, this ......" Seeing Qing Sha's hesitation, Emperor Shang suddenly shouted lightly: "Shut up, if you don't teach me today, I will let you experience what the sin of teasing the king is!" ”

Hearing this, Qingsha's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly taught Shang Wang to learn pinyin.

About half an hour later!

In the imperial study of the palace, there was a burst of laughter: "Hahaha! Sure enough, it's thaumaturgy, even if you don't know a single big word, you can know all the words in the world through pinyin! seconds, wonderful! ”

"Qingsha, let me ask you, how many people know pinyin now?" Emperor Shang couldn't help but look overjoyed and asked softly.

Qing Sha was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uh...... This is not clear to the subordinates. ”
