Chapter 58: What Use Do I Want This Iron Rod?
"Huh! I didn't expect Xiao Yi that you are also smart, but you were confused for a while! ”
Li Kexin pursed his lips and smiled, and asked Zhang Yi lightly: "This method was originally thought of by you, could it be that you haven't thought about its biggest effect?" Are there any people who are still profitable? ”
"Beneficiary crowd?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, but thought in his heart, isn't the beneficiary group the so-called readers? And naturally, it's my brother.
With this movable type printing, if you have money in the future, your buddy will open a printing shop to print all kinds of books, and it will be a great deal at such a low cost.
"Naturally, I'm a scholar in various states and prefectures!" Li Kexin is smiling, so untouchable? The movable type in her hand was held in her hand again, while putting it on the paper. played, while saying: "Although the ancient sages have clouds, there are no classes in teaching. But the real poor family is difficult to produce a noble son!
One of the biggest reasons for this is that there are no books to read! Since the king of Yu, learning has been firmly in the hands of the family, solid wall self-styled, but Shandong as the most. Therefore, there is a theory that has learned from ancient times out of Shandong.
However, before the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was invaded by foreign races and ruled the country for more than 120 years, and I don't know how many precious ancient books and solitary books disappeared in the long river of history. After that, it was the cavalry of the Taizu of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty who rebelled against the Yuan, and after the unification of our dynasty, the existence of knowledge was already less than one of ten.
It is precisely in this way that there is today's Wenhui World Policy, whose goal is to let everyone in the world have books to read, and it is also to accumulate talents for the imperial court. ”
"It's just that the engraving printing is too expensive, and a mere three-character scripture also needs two taels of silver, and two taels of silver is enough for ordinary people for almost half a year, so even if the imperial court is subsidized, there are still few readers, right?" Zhang Yi said: "So Ming looks at the country's strategy of gathering the world to be a flash government, but it still can't be implemented!" ”
Listening to Seventeen Niang's explanation, Zhang Yi suddenly realized.
It is no wonder that the status of scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty is so high, and they didn't expect that the root cause was actually under the decree of this Wenhui world.
But how did Seventeen Niang find out?
The most important thing is that Seventeen Niang actually had a trace of stern sadness on her face when she talked about this Wenhui world, which was strange.
"Hey, that's right!" Li Kexin's face was already sad, as if he remembered the past, and sighed before continuing: "The twelfth year of Hongde in the Great Zhou Dynasty was that catastrophe!" ”
The twelfth year of the Great Zhou?
Zhang Yi's brain was a little dizzy.
How did this seventeen niang talk and talk about it, and it went to the top of the twelfth year of the Great Zhou?
Xindao, sure enough, dealing with talented women is troublesome, chewing words one by one and pulling some historical allusions, isn't it embarrassing for him, a little white who has never experienced it?
Just looking at Seventeen Niang's sad appearance, Zhang Yi was very distressed, isn't Seventeen Niang related to this matter?
Zhang Yi thought about it carefully, the reason why Seventeen Niang was assigned to the Teaching Workshop Division and then wandered to Chunfang Lou was obviously that the family should at least be an official eunuch, and it can be seen from Seventeen Niang's literary attainments.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but say: "Seventeen Niang, you also know that I don't know a lot of things in the past, since the things of the year were called a catastrophe by you, why don't you tell me about it?" ”
Zhang Yi's predecessor was a wandering little beggar, and he was later adopted by Li Chunfang by chance.
It is a problem for a beggar to even have enough to eat, and it is understandable not to know the major events of the country.
"This.... Let's talk about it later! Li Ke wanted to speak and stopped, the faint sadness on her face was well hidden by her, and only after a long time did she solemnly say: "Xiao Yi, although your new printing method has not yet succeeded, but in my opinion, it must be feasible, but this thing involves too much, you still have to think carefully about whether to do it or not!" ”
Zhang Yi wondered, didn't he agree just now?
Why did it only take so many minutes for Seventeen Niang to prevaricate again?
So Zhang Yi didn't want to answer: "Seventeen Niang, since I have picked out the matter of this newspaper, and you also said that it is feasible, it must be done." Besides, I still hope that this matter will be a little bigger, if it can cause a sensation, it will be better, when the newspaper has a stable source of income, you and other little girls don't have to work so hard, right? ”
"But..." Li Kexin was secretly anxious, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips.
"Hehe, Seventeen Niang, don't do it, just wait to count the silver!" Zhang Yi smiled, he was extremely optimistic about the future of the newspaper.
As long as the reader is as elegant as ever, and wants to become a celebrity, the newspaper will only get better and better, even if there is some trouble halfway, it is still a paper tiger.
In front of the powerful Shilin, it is not all crushed?
"I just hope you don't blame me then!" Seeing that Zhang Yi's attention had been decided, it seemed that it was impossible to persuade him, so Li Kexin had to remind: "But you have to hide this method, if it is known by someone who cares, it may be remembered." We are only afraid of Chunfanglou... I'm just afraid...."
Profit is always the best thing that can bring out the ugliness of human nature.
Whether it is as an educational contribution that can spread reading to the common people, or the huge economic benefits generated by printing, both are undoubtedly mouth-watering.
Since the stakes are so great, it is naturally irresistible to lead people to sin.
Zhang Yi naturally understood this, but he secretly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Seventeen Niang cares so much about her buddies, this is a good start! And in his opinion, even if the interests are moving, if someone wants to seek the benefits, then they must first pass the level of brother and me, as long as they run the newspaper before they react, once they grasp the banner of public opinion, who would dare to act rashly?
In this era, a good reputation is undoubtedly very important, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Hanzu has grown from a small pavilion chief to a generation of emperors with the people as a good, and it is precisely because of his reputation that he has made great achievements in Xishu Liu Xuande.
It can be said that once you have a good name, there are countless benefits.
However, it often takes years to build a reputation, and even the family of the gate valve has been gradually formed through the efforts of several generations.
This is because the spread of fame depends entirely on word-of-mouth, and there is no other channel at all.
The emergence of newspapers has undoubtedly broken the fixed communication method of word-of-mouth communication, and its extensiveness, hierarchy and authority are obviously more authoritative, so this killer feature is the biggest hole card in Zhang Yi's heart to protect himself.
Otherwise, how could he dare to run a newspaper business in a small way?
Of course, there are many hardships in running a successful newspaper business, but as a man, how can Zhang Yi say that he can't do it? Otherwise, what's the use of this iron rod buddy?
