"Needs improvement? Owner, where did we do not do well, you ~ ordered, the old man immediately modified. Old man Zheng paused for a moment, but quickly lowered his posture again.

began to respect him, because Liu Yuan was the owner of the family, his own rice class owner, but when he learned that Liu Yuan was a talented man in Yangzhou, Wenqu Xing descended to earth, and he respected him from the heart, and now he came up with such a ghost idea of turning stones into gold, and admired him so much that he was almost thrown to the ground, and he hurriedly asked for advice when he heard the words.

Liu Yuan pointed to the words on the paper and said: "The paper is no problem, and the words are very clear, but at a glance, it is a little difficult to understand, the meaning between the paragraphs and sentences, you have to peck and grind by yourself, it is too laborious, one is not good, the meaning between the lines has changed, it is not good to print like this." ”

"But, the owner, it's been like this since ancient times." Old Master Gu said a little aggrieved.

"It's not your fault, come on, I have an idea." After Liu Wan finished speaking, he took a brush from the side, clicked on the ink, clicked on it a few times, and then handed it to the two people on the side and said, "You read it, stop where I made a mark, and see what effect." ”

When Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu heard this, they tried it according to the method that Liu Yuan said, and they were surprised, it was very smooth to read, and it was not difficult at all.

"East~~ East, you are a dot and a small circle, what do these come from?" Old Master Gu stammered a little.

"This is a comma, that is, a sign that needs to pause when a sentence is not finished, that is, to use this symbol, that little circle, I call it a full stop, to indicate that a sentence has been said and expressed, for example, the first thing you said when you saw me just now was: Boss, I didn't know you were here. The proprietor paused here, and after saying the next sentence, the sentence ended, and if you didn't pause, the meaning became: The proprietor didn't know you were coming. ”

"In this way, the meaning has completely changed, the same word, but if you don't understand it well, there will be two completely different meanings" Liu Yuan said proudly: But with those two symbols, there will be no misunderstanding. ”

When Lao Gu was in charge of firing the kiln, he usually needed to dance and paint on porcelain, and he had a certain writing skills, and as the manager of Chenjiayao, Old Man Zheng was also a person who could write and calculate, Liu Yuan said it in plain language, they understood it at once, and after a little pecking, they immediately realized the special features of this kind of unsurprising symbol.

This time, they were really shocked, that's it, for the world's readers, its effect is very huge, at least, there will be a lot less heresy in the future, and it will definitely not be so difficult to read.

The shock of the two was not over, Liu Yuan continued: "In addition to commas and periods, we can use question marks, exclamation marks, semicolons, ......"

After Liu Yuan finished introducing them one by one, Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu were stunned, their mouths opened into an "O" shape, and they didn't close for a long time, and it took a long time to react.

Looking at Liu Yuan's eyes, it was like entering the temple and seeing the statues of those gods, so he almost didn't burn incense and make offerings.

"Dong~~ Dongjia, you are really amazing, you are really a Wenqu star, the little old man listens to you, you can do what you say, this is a great merit, good, good."

"That's it, that's it, if it's printed like this, as soon as those boys and showmen get to know it, they won't all have to buy our books for use."

"In that case, we're really going to get rich."

"Yes, yes, yes~~~"

When Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu thought of the prospect of that book, they were all discussing it excitedly.

Now the spread of those books, most of them rely on manual copying, one is high in wages, and the other is easy to make mistakes, especially the last one, sometimes it is a word is missing, the meaning is far behind, ask someone to copy the book, that is, check it a few times, or there are mistakes, typesetting yourself here, as long as you proofread it a few times, the quality must be getting better and better.

As for the cost? How much is mud worth? When I buy a few slaves and come back, it will cost some paper and ink, and the money will be rolling in.

Or the owner is shrewd, at the beginning of the doubling of his salary, but also said that there are red envelopes every New Year's holiday, I was very surprised, not thinking that I met a loser, or the ancestral tomb smoked, honest panic, now I see, compared with the "gold mountain" of the owner, that salary is simply a drop in the bucket.

"That's right, then open two versions, one is the original text with punctuation, and then get a deluxe version, find some famous teachers to annotate, yes, so that those who don't have the opportunity to listen to the famous teacher's explanation, can also receive the guidance of the famous teacher, there is, that Su Lao is a very suitable person, this is called packaging, this price, hey~~~"

Liu Yuan was talking to himself while YY on the side, what kind of luxury version, what kind of famous teacher, and packaging or something, I heard that Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu were confused, and I didn't know what he said.

"Okay, these things have nothing to do with you, what you have to do now is to start making a large number of these words, with a smaller word, a piece of paper can print a little more content, Uncle Zheng, the newly printed word, is half of this word, paper is much more expensive than mud, in the future, use small print to print, so that the cost is minimized, typesetting or something is not in a hurry, wait for me to get the punctuation marks or something first, then copy a copy to you, and then find some big writers to annotate, say that there is face, well, that's it, Uncle Guan, let's print the Book of Songs first. ”

How dare Old Man Zheng say the word "no", and he said yes again and again.

Liu Yuan thought for a while, and then told the old master Gu: "Old master Gu, I know that you are very talented in painting, you peck it yourself, add some illustrations in the book, such as flowers, birds and beasts, characters or something, it is best to match the content, just like Guan Sui, when a poem is a page, there are many blank spaces, we don't paint something for what to embellish, such as painting a very temperamental lady or something, you peck and practice it, we either don't do it, or do the best." ”

"Yes, the owner, the little one must do his best, the little one just doesn't sleep, and you must do it until you are satisfied."

Liu Yuan said happily: "Okay, if you do a good job, I will consider mentioning your name at the back of the book, saying that you also have a copy of this book." ”

The old master who originally liked to pursue beauty was ecstatic when he heard this, it was an opportunity to leave a name in history, and he immediately nodded again and again like a chicken knocking rice, thinking that it was really cost-effective to work with this owner, with high wages, good treatment, and a chance to leave a name in history.

Not only the old master Gu, but even the old man Zheng on the side also breathed faster, and the old face was also red, as if he was just waiting for Liu Yuan to say another word, he dared to "roar" while carrying a wooden stick, and dared to charge at the army alone.

Seeing that the morale was high, Liu Yuan encouraged him a little more, and raised the original high fight between the two a little higher, and then turned around and left with satisfaction.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, are you going back to Jinshui Street now?" The attendant who drove the carriage took a small bench and let Liu Yuan step on the carriage.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, go to the state college, and then calculate the money for the car when you go back." ”

"State college?"

"State Academy!" Liu Yuan said firmly.

"Well, shopkeeper, sit tight~~" The coachman drank as usual, and the long whip in his hand flicked out, and with a crisp "snap", the carriage rushed forward.

The Tang Dynasty still attached great importance to the imperial examination, and as soon as Tang Gaozu entered Chang'an, the world was undecided, so he issued an edict to set up schools and arrange for the children of the clan and other young people to go to school. In the Tang Dynasty, from the central to the local level, there were government-run schools to persuade and reward young people to learn and improve, and to seek eunuchs. These government-run schools are all under the management of the National Prison (similar to the Ministry of Higher Education), and there are about the following types:

1. Guozixue, the number of students is set at 300, and the children and grandchildren of high-level cadres and cadres in the capital are specially recruited;

2. Taixue, the number of trainees is set at 500, and the children and grandchildren and close relatives of middle and senior cadres are recruited;

The number of students in the third and fourth courses is 1,300, of which 500 are the children of ordinary cadres, and the other 800 places are reserved for outstanding young people among the common people;

4. In addition, there are specialized laws (law), calligraphy (calligraphy) and arithmetic (calculation), etc., to recruit petty officials and commoners;

5. Kyoto and each prefecture and prefecture all set up schools to enroll students, with varying numbers of students.

Sixth, the central government and the Tai** have Hongwen Hall and Chongwen Hall, each of which accepts 30 students, all of whom are the children of the emperor's relatives, prime ministers, first-class officials and great meritorious heroes.

Whether a region's economy is prosperous or not, depends on the scale of local government schools and the number of students enrolled, barren areas, government schools are dilapidated, can not afford to hire good gentlemen, can not recruit good students, a school has few students, but the economy is good in the area is different, the government intentions, squires and celebrities and so on work together to continue to cultivate good students, not only the officials are rewarded, but also the local people are proud of it.

For example, the prosperous Yangzhou.
