Chapter 315: The book is dry
One is to see what the book exposé around here is, and the other is to recruit new people.
This can be said to be the same.
After Li Hang followed him in, he saw a huge bookstore, which was guarded by people, as if Li Hang's dozens of books occupied a lot of space, and Wang Dali was guarding there.
It looks spectacular, but the slight musty smell is still unappetizing.
So the real place to pretend is in another courtyard, this courtyard that was originally used to dry grain is now used to dry books, and now the other small courtyard is full of people, and now everyone is basically gathered there.
There are a lot of books here, but basically some of them are used to show them the quantity, and some even take the family motto out to dry.
Li Hang can't quite understand this kind of culture, after all, you can read as much as you want in the future, and some books you can even search for on the Internet and read them at will.
If Li Hang didn't care about these things at all before, now he seems to have seen the tip of the iceberg of this world through this courtyard.
Books are really a scarce resource.
No wonder the Zhou family agreed to go south in search of sugar cane.
These people are not because of how much they want to tie themselves up, but the bait they throw, they really can't refuse, the reason why the price of books in this era is so awesome, it is because of the price of paper, if the price of paper goes down, then there will be more books in this era, the Zhou family wants this cheap papermaking technology is to seize the market, as for the price reduction, as long as there is enough profit, they will take the initiative to reduce the price, after all, even if you are amazing, At most, you have a monopoly on the business in one area, but if you lower the price, you can rush into more places, not to mention small profits and quick turnover, and you can also control the territory and influence controlled by the family, which is the most important thing.
A family stands tall mainly by virtue of these influences.
Seeing these people communicating and displaying their books one by one, Li Hang also walked over curiously.
By his side, Zhou Yurong also began to talk to other female dependents in the women's area.
These people are all ordinary women, although they say that they have a very high status, but they are just ordinary women at home.
What are women prone to seducing?
Cosmetics!
In this event, Li Hang asked her to take some perfumes, which were all experiments in the workshop, and these experiments could only be used to test the effect of these perfumes.
Li Hang didn't care about this, so he took these things out just to show the strength of his workshop.
As soon as Wang Hongbin entered, he was immediately sought after by everyone, for them, the Wang family was originally the founder and control of Weishan Academy, which means that he must have the most books in his hand.
As soon as he entered, a large group of students went over to greet him.
There is no doubt that this is what they are preparing to do with this Wang family.
Li Hang looked at all this with a smile, this Wang Hongbin was like a star walking the catwalk as soon as he entered.
A group of people went up and asked if they could borrow books to read, especially those people who wanted to borrow these books to copy a copy, which was what made Li Hang feel the most curious.
At this time, copying books was a popular trend, but many copies of books were also copied by nobles.
As for those poor children......
Hehe, let's hold my thighs first.
Wang Hongbin's appearance of being surrounded by everyone had just begun, and Ying Yun walked in directly, and as soon as he entered, this guy aroused the attention of the audience.
Especially Wang Hongbin, who was still in the center by everyone just now, ran over all of a sudden.
"Oops! It's really an honor for Your Highness to be here! So saying, he came to him.
At this time, Ying Yuncai waved his hand with a smile and took out a few copies of Nongsang. "In the past few days, Li Hang and I have sent this book to His Majesty, and His Majesty also agrees with it after reading it, this book may become the standard for official assessment in the future, so take it out for everyone to see!"
"Since it is written by His Highness, I must read it." At this time, not only those students, but also many families were interested.
What does a book that His Majesty wants to promote?
What's more, it will become an official assessment standard, although this sounds a bit unbelievable, but it is a good choice to get a few copies for your family in advance.
"How?"
At this time, Li Hang also walked over and looked at Ying Yun who was handing out the book, and now he was surrounded by everyone.
These people are still very enthusiastic, at least on the faces they face.
"Li Shangzao?" Wang Hongbin's face showed a strange smile. "I heard that Li Shangzao was entrusted by all the people and wanted to open a academy? I don't know about your academy. ”
"At best, it's just a matter of learning, teaching them to read and write, and it doesn't hurt to read books!" Li Hang smiled, sat aside, picked up the teacup and looked at the books in the hands of these people.
O these people!
Basically, every student reads some Confucian classics, and there is very little other content about counting, geography, etc.
Li Hang shook his head, and then looked at Wang Hongbin. Wang Hongbin, who is almost in his forties, still has a beard on his face, and he still looks like an old intellectual.
"It doesn't hurt to read and write, but ah, what are Li Shangzao going to teach?"
"Simple literacy, counting, the principle of heaven and earth."
"Don't study the Confucian classics?" Wang Hongbin was a little curious, this school doesn't learn these things.
Li Hang squeezed his palm. "If I don't study, I don't have many books, and I can't learn all of them, so it's enough for them to understand the parts of the Confucian classics on how to behave in the world. That's all I remember. ”
A little embarrassed, at this time, it is not that he really doesn't understand this, but that what he can remember is these, and Li Hang really can't remember other things.
As for saying that these Confucian classics have to be studied in exams or something, Li Hang really doesn't believe it, Lao Tzu can't prove that he has talent to learn if he speaks in the vernacular?
Can you talk properly?
The promotion of vernacular literature in later generations has also experienced resistance from traditional forces, and has also experienced various resistances, but what is the result?
As a result, vernacular literature was promoted, and classical Chinese and poetry almost became appreciation and historical evidence.
The common language used by the common people is the vernacular.
This is Li Hang's purpose.
Vernacular literature and science, these two require a lot of effort, and it is better to let it go to the pit.
As soon as Li Hang finished saying this, he picked up a few books. "That's what I'm going to teach those kids."
"Huh?"
Wang Hongbin took the book and flipped through it with a frown.
He also knows a little about counting this thing, and he can roughly understand the first point, but he also doesn't understand the latter one.
"What's this for?"
This knowledge is really a bit ridiculous for him.
Because from their consciousness, these things like counting, as long as they don't count wrongly, what do they do with advanced learning?
"What's the use?" Li Hang's expression was a little strange.
How familiar is this kind of remarks, and there are many people in later generations who think that as long as you learn to count, you won't make mistakes, and you don't think it's necessary to have any plane geometry, what a function, or something.
But is this really true?
High school is a time to connect the past and the next, mainly to lay the foundation for college.
Now, these things can be used not only to calculate one's daily life, but also to be used in various places.
"There are great uses, such as craftsmen, the construction of houses, if you understand these, then even people who don't understand these artisan work can design better tools or houses or other things based on various data." Many designers in later generations need to consider a lot of things, and there is also a lot of data to support it, in order to do this. That's based on having a complete scientific system.
