Chapter 32: Sharing Books
With the three brothers of the Tian family and the four Kunzhong of the Li family, when they returned home, their sister-in-law had already prepared the meal.
The table full of food made the Tian brothers and the Li family Kunzhong swallow their saliva constantly.
No way, in this era, how many of the children of tenant farmers have eaten enough?
It is the landlord's house, and it can only feed and wear.
Looking at these young people, the wind swept the clouds and gobbled up their meals.
Zhang Yue was a little distressed.
Although he received these seven nearly free laborers, he was also burdened with the obligation to feed them.
It's not an easy task to feed the seven young men.
Not to mention, corn alone may have to prepare twenty or thirty stone a month.
Over the course of a year, it's a few hundred stones.
In addition, there is a lot of money for oil, salt and vegetables.
In addition, people follow themselves, clothes or something, how many sets do you have to send every year, right?
During the New Year's holidays, do you want to wrap a red envelope and give some rewards?
It costs money.
And how much money is left at home? How much grain?
In the memory of the original owner, there is a vague understanding of this piece.
After all, that nerd doesn't care about these things.
But Zhang Yue can also make an estimate based on some other information.
"At home, I'm afraid there are at most 100 stone of grain and a few thousand dollars of savings...... "He thought in his heart.
"Gotta find a way to make money!" Zhang Yue thought to himself.
Making soap and perfume, which are common means of making a fortune, were first passed by him.
Because these things, even if you have the skills and know how to play, it takes a lot of time to explore and discuss.
And the raw materials are too difficult to get and the cost is too high.
At least, it's not something he can get right now.
Even soap and perfume don't have the capital to play.
Other ways to make a fortune like glass are even more unattainable.
"What I need now is a simple, cheap, and fast way to get rich...... Zhang Yue rubbed his palms and fell into thought.
What is it, with low cost and low technology, that can be sold for money as soon as it comes out?
"With ......" Zhang Yue suddenly blessed his soul and thought of something.
What is the most profitable business in this world?
The answer is: finance, healthcare, education.
Since ancient times, it has been so.
Finance and medical care, Zhang Yue can't play.
But he can play education!
Moreover, there is no cost at all, not even a penny.
All you need to do is open up your collection so that others can freely copy it.
Even the money for copying books is exempt.
Play a game of sharing books before this AD.
In this pass, there are countless poor scholars and children of small and medium-sized landlords like the original owner.
Zhang Yue believes that as long as he releases the news - all the books in the collection will be freely copied by others, without charging any fees and without setting any thresholds.
Once this news spreads, don't talk about the entire Guanzhong.
At the very least, the entire tyrant must be alarmed.
Although the baramihara is a little smaller, there are also two counties!
And it is two Lingyi counties.
There are at least a few hundred young people with their heads stretched out and thirsty for knowledge.
As soon as they heard the news, they would rush to Kotei as quickly as possible.
And now he is in his study, with almost a complete set of Confucian classics.
Including "Spring and Autumn", "Analects", "Spring and Autumn Dew", and even "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Book of Songs" and "Books", which are three sets of the highest classics respected by all schools, including Confucianism.
Even the obscure I Ching has three sets.
The young scholars who came here would definitely have the intention of copying them all at once.
Transcribing books can be time-consuming.
Especially in this era of using bamboo slips as the text carrier, it is already very awesome to be able to copy a few books a day.
For these two or three hundred volumes, a person has to copy at least half a month.
In the meantime, will these people eat?
Do you want to live?
In addition, it is basically impossible for them to come to the pavilion with blank bamboo slips!
Hundreds of bamboo slips, piled up like a hill, weigh up to a thousand catties
Even if Xiang Yu is alive, Lu Bu will cross, and I am afraid that he will not be able to run around with a thousand catties of bamboo slips on his back.
Therefore, this bamboo slip also has to be bought.
And that's where the profit lies.
It doesn't get much easier to get money from.
What's even better is that after making money, those young scholars and poor children will be grateful and respectful.
It is equivalent to that he didn't do anything, so he brushed a big wave of prestige in vain, showed favor to hundreds of scholars, and formed incense with them.
It also immediately alleviated his current economic crisis.
Perhaps, you can also use this to attract the attention of the Taichang Yamen and brush up a talented or virtuous name.
"That's it!" Zhang Yue patted his thigh and decided to come down.
When the Tian brothers and the Li Kunzhong finished eating, Zhang Yue called them together and instructed: "I want to open my family's collection of books and share them with people with lofty ideals in the world, so when you go to the township and tell everyone, I will say: Jiating Zhang Zizhong is willing to discuss the road with the sages of the township party, and all those who are interested in learning and aspiring to the Tao can come to Jiating, borrow my collection of books, and copy and read ......."
"No!" The seven of them agreed in unison.
So, starting this afternoon, a piece of news spread throughout Changshui Township.
The Zhang family in Jiating has a lot of books.
Now, the Zhang family is willing to open these books to all young people who are interested in learning free of charge and unconditionally.
Anyone, regardless of identity, status, background.
As long as you are willing to learn, you can come to Jiating, borrow Zhang's books, and copy them home.
Suddenly, the entire Changshui Township shook!
When many young people heard the news, they danced with excitement.
Books! That's a book!
Many people have had the experience of begging a scholar or official for permission to transcribe one of his books, and they pleaded repeatedly in front of his house, but in the end they were politely refused.
Only a few, relying on perseverance and indomitable spirit, moved the master and allowed him to transcribe a volume.
However, it is still for a limited time.
Only give an hour, or half a day.
When it's over, it can't be copied anymore.
Now, the Zhang family of Jiating actually announced that the whole township was allowed to transcribe himself, and there were no conditions or restrictions?
What's more, Zhang's collection of books is very rich!
They are all Zhang's Erlang, the transcripts of the Tai students brought back from Taixue!
It covers almost all the classics, and there are even interpretations and annotations from students!
Ordinary people can't reach it at all!
Many people thought they were dreaming, pinched their thighs hard, and then immediately ran home, packed their bags, and prepared dry food.
It's a rare opportunity!
If you don't catch it quickly, it's likely to be fleeting!
And Zhang Yue's name has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with this uproar.
Overnight, in the entire Changshui Township, from the eighty-year-old man to the three or five-year-old children, everyone knew Zhang Zizhong.
