Bypassed a small alley, the front is the Temple of Literature, the Temple of Literature is not far away, is the Xuezheng Yamen, and the county Yamen is divided into two parts of the city, between the Xuezheng Yamen and the Confucian Temple, is a row of large shops, compared with the previous market, these shops are very beautiful, each one is also much larger, a large number of stationery, a large number of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and cultural supplies, in the vicinity of the Confucian Temple and the Xuezheng Yamen, there is even a county school next to it, it is the most concentrated place of literati in the entire Nanle County, open a store like this, under the premise of eleganceand be able to make money.

Stationery is the most prosperous industry in the Song Dynasty, the number of literati in the Song Dynasty can be said to have created history, the literacy rate is as high as 17 or more, it can be said that five people, there is one person who is literate, which also represents a huge cultural base, even if it is the literati after that, it has not reached the peak of the Song Dynasty, a hundred years of scholars, is not a joke, the peak of culture, only to create the magnificent history of the Song Dynasty.

Stationery, is another major item in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, this, Zhao Xin has been prepared, casually found a shop to enter, here is just a pen shop, different from other products, the cultural industry has formed different categories, and even has the prototype of goods, pen, ink, paper inkstone, pen is the most commonly used, but also the highest frequency of replacement of one, there are dozens of different types of pens, just the same type, also divided into different wool production, plus different pen barrels, length and size, It is slightly weaker than the lighting of the Chinese medicine store, but a series of lighting still makes Zhao Xin extremely excited.

It's just that the number of lights in the pen shop is as high as 100 kinds, and the others are about the same, which should be specifically said about the ink, different origins, different specifications, and even some high-end masters out of the ink, but also different types, Zhao Xin once again ushered in the moment of crazy growth of cards, and even the same kind of shop, also obtained different lights, more than 20 shops on this street, a total of more than 1,200 kinds of lights have been completed, almost all over China produced pen, ink, paper, inkstone, have been rounded, if in the future, If Zhao Xin has the opportunity to open a store, there will be no shortage of any variety and any type of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Out of the last paper shop, compared to the pen and ink inkstone, the paper shop is much worse, papermaking, one of the four great inventions in China, has a history of hundreds of years now, but the development is still relatively slow, not much improvement, not to mention compared with the use of the huge scale of later generations, even if it is a commonly used type of paper, there are no more than 20 kinds, only half of which can be called paper, others, some similar to straw paper or toilet paper and the like.

Of course, because of the process and waste, the price of paper is quite expensive, the best paper, a knife as high as hundreds of Wen, such a price, but also from the side to prove that reading is never a simple thing, no wonder so many people in later generations, because of reading and bankrupt, no talent, no famous teacher, a high-risk profession when studying, either high school officials, glory ancestors, or in the white head of the poor scriptures, slowly consumed money and youth, in the absence of other employment under the premise, in addition to being an official, There is little other way out.

This is also the sorrow of feudal society, scholars, senior intellectuals, their energy is attracted by the imperial examination, even if there are genius scientists, they often study some things of interest in addition to learning, leaving some natural knowledge, but relative to learning, it is too little, Confucian six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, mathematics, in the end, only ritual and books are left, the rest have been discarded, not to mention more partial natural disciplines.

This is the general trend of development, is the unstoppable general trend, maybe in the future, Zhao Xin can change, but now, he can't change, can not change, the thousand years of feudal dynasty, has formed a whole set of systems, under the huge inertia, either, launch an abnormal bottom-up revolution, break all the rules and regulations, reshape a rule, or, can only be crushed by this inertia, there is no third way to go.

With a sigh, Zhao Xin looked around, near the Temple of Literature, there were a lot of people, but they were all scholars who were powerless, plus the people were not so dense, they even expanded the range, did not enter the market, and watched from afar, which also made Zhao Xin sigh their professionalism, this is a street without any road, you can see everything at a glance from a distance, and the probability of encountering danger is quite low.

From entering Nanle, Zhao Xin has been walking for 2 hours in a row, most of the time, he was held by the little guys in turn, did not consume much physical strength, the body of the little guy is also good, there is no little tired, continuous wandering, has been the whole county to visit almost, a total of only 0.2 square kilometers, no more than 200,000 square meters, in the 21st century, but a slightly larger business district, are larger than this, often several square kilometers, or the kind full of various buildings, in this county, it is only one floor.

Zhao Xin believes that after the Temple of Literature and the stationery store, there is no harvest in the county, who knows, in this corner of the street, but saw a few bookstores, maybe the bookstore is also a harvest, into the bookstore, when the eyes swept to those books, but one after another lit up, it is obvious, each book, represents a different card, but there are not many types of books in the bookstore, that is, four books and five classics and the like, occasionally there are two poetry collections, and it is not a well-known writer, in short, to give the foundation to light, Dozens more were added.

After visiting the bookstore, Zhao Xin seems to have a different kind of enlightenment, every book, is a light, the book is the carrier of the record culture, is the existence of spreading knowledge, maybe he went to a certain poetry heirloom, can light up more, recorded before the Song Dynasty, the book is still the most copied, to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, engraving printing began to appear, compared to hand-copying, a big step, but it is still relatively expensive, a mature carving craftsman, not easy to find, can only print a large number of books, For example, the Buddhist scriptures, the Guanyin Sutra because of the small number of numbers, spread more widely, has become more sound quality, in addition to some imperial examinations must be learned, such as the four books and five classics, only the number reaches a certain degree of order of magnitude, can be obtained.

Ink is a big problem, the ink written with a brush, and the use of printing, can not be said to be completely different, but there are many things that need to be considered, such as not fading, fading, and even easy to dye, clear handwriting, which requires a lot of science and technology in the back, in the era of chemical knowledge is not very developed, for a long time, hand-copied books still have a market, because hand-copied books are relatively beautiful, and will not be on the first floor or less strokes and the like

It seems that Bi Sheng has begun to do movable type, and only the emergence of movable type, the cultural industry will gradually become popular, printing books, still the more cheap, but dozens of hundreds of kinds, the price is not high to the extent that people are not, writing books to say this, for a literati, are irrepressible desires, from this point, if it is after the movable type, or even when the movable type is more mature, it is obvious, just a large number of books, it is OK.

Some big families, with decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, the accumulation of books, if once lit, it is a huge harvest, unfortunately, in the feudal society, in some large families with inheritance, books are fundamental, when someone is ruined, everything is pawned, but books are not good, poetry and book heirlooms have always been a symbol of literati,

Zhao Xin knows very well that there must be a library in the palace, where there are at least tens of millions of books, but unfortunately, there is no way, he came out of Bianliang, in a short time, there is no way to go back, this is the simplest, and most likely to upgrade quickly, was blocked, which is also Zhao Xin's most regrettable place.

The county has turned most of the time, and the entire lit up number is close to 8000, which is a huge gain, Zhao Xin is also more satisfied, continue to search in Nanle County, and may not be able to find more lights, or a waste of time, it has been half a day, Zhao Xin is about to leave Nanle, and suddenly the people in front of him seem to be accelerating in one direction, faintly, it seems to have heard the sound of a neat trumpet, his heart moved, let the little guy follow those people forward.
