Chapter 18: Combination Punches
Bai Tu's "improved papermaking" is almost complete, and "movable type printing" is also almost complete......
After all, there are no technical difficulties at all, and the corresponding information is also very sound.
Papermaking is about the level of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is still a little worse than the bamboo paper Dacheng of the Tang Dynasty, but it is more than enough for printing, but it is just a matter of book quality!
According to the current formula, the cost already has a civilian basis - of course, that's all, the people should still have little incentive to buy, after all, in troubled times, there is so much manpower pumped, and it would be good for everyone to have enough to eat.
However, in the past three months, Bai Tu himself has not been idle, but has written a few books.
In his hard drive, there are not only all kinds of industrial and agricultural materials, but also literary works!
It's just that Bai Tu's current creation (gai) work (xie) is not a literary work, but an enlightened reading, and there are four main works: they are improved from the "Enlightenment Essentials", "Three Character Classics", "Pair of Words" and "Cut Rhyme".
Nowadays, there is no universal enlightenment reading material in the world - that is, a book dedicated to teaching Mengtong, after all, paper has not yet been popularized, education is the meat in the pot of the scholar family, and there is no such thing as universal education.
Now that cheap paper is available, printing is available, and Bai Tu is ready to write a few books for Mongolian studies!
As for the selection of reading materials, it is not good to be too far away, and as for modern primary school textbooks, Bai Tu agrees with it, but it is too different from today's world view and values.
The Mengxue reading materials in the Ming and Qing dynasties were not good, the taste of etiquette was too heavy, and it was basically a product of Confucianism, and Bai Tu himself was sick to his stomach.
Therefore, I can only choose the more recent ones, and then change and delete them a little - as we all know, if you delete some excerpts a little, you can write them yourself, and you can add the author's name!
Among the four books selected by Bai Tu, "The Enlightenment Teachings" began in the Tang Dynasty and was still used in the Fifth Dynasty, which is a book that combines common words with moral education and compiles them into four characters and one sentence, with catchy rhymes.
"Pair Literacy" is actually a kind of book, that is, the meaning of "literacy by looking at pictures", which has appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and Bai Tu thinks it is very practical.
The "Three Character Classic" is even more famous, which first appeared in the Song Dynasty and has been updated repeatedly......
The first two white pictures did not change much, but for the "Three Character Classic", the white pictures have made a lot of abridgements.
First of all, the paragraph about the change of dynasties in history must be deleted, otherwise it will not be a "scholarly reading", but a prophetic apocalypse!
The second is the passage with a strong religious color, which Bai Tu has abridged a lot - Bai Tu firmly believes that in any relationship, whether it is a monarch or a minister, a father and a son, or a husband and wife, respect is mutual, and theories that violate this principle are all fallacies.
The same is true of the old man Confucius's "monarch, minister, father, son", the king should have the appearance of a king, and the courtiers should have the appearance of a courtier, and the revised version of the three outlines and five constants in the sense of etiquette and religion completely ignores the obligations of monarchy, fatherhood, and husband's authority.
Not to mention that Bai Tu is not a believer in Confucius at all, many of Confucius's original intentions are also unaccustomed to Bai Tu who accepts modern values.
If there is a choice, Bai Tu still prefers primary school textbooks.
It's just that although the status of Confucianism is not as distorted and lofty as it was in later generations, after Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools, Confucianism is indeed orthodox.
If it is not a matter of principle, Bai Tu is willing to lean on Confucius and rub his old man's popularity.
As for the future...... Even if Master Confucius didn't mean this, Bai Tu could be "distorted", right?
If others change it, I can't change it?
"The Three Character Classic", especially the "Three Character Classic" before the Ming and Qing Dynasty versions, actually does not need to be deleted too much, after all, there is no problem with basic loyalty and filial piety.
Bai Tu was very modest when he wrote, knowing that his level was low, and the so-called rewriting was actually more deleted and less changed.
If it was replaced with "Disciple Rules" or something, Bai Tu looked at it...... If this is deleted, I'm afraid there won't be a few sentences left!
Only the last "Cut Rhyme", Bai Tu's original part is more.
The original book of "Cutting Rhyme" was written in the Sui Dynasty, which is equivalent to a reference book for the phonetic pronunciation of words, and the content of the original book is no longer examinable, but there are a large number of revised editions circulating in later generations.
However, there are no letters in the rhyme, and the way of pinyin is somewhat anti-human - such as "dang", which is marked as "Du Lang Cut", "cut" is a verb, which refers to cutting these two words together, which can be seen as the initial of "Du", combined with the finals of "Lang", and read as "dang".
As for the pronunciation of "Du" and "Lang", how to symbolize? Learn from your husband yourself!
Bai Tu has basically been used for "Cutting Rhyme" for the past three months, but fortunately, in this world, the language is amazing and before Bai Tu crosses, there is only a slight difference - Bai Tu's accent is only a little strange to Lu Lingqi's ears.
Therefore, Baitu chose to refer to the pinyin alphabet, write the basic pinyin totem first, and then mark it......
Only a few hundred commonly used words are marked, and the other three Mongolian books are marked, as for the non-commonly used, how to read the white picture is not accurate!
After all, Lu Lingqi and they are all from Bingzhou, and the ghost knows if her accent is a Bingzhou dialect.
Everything is ready, Bai Tu is ready to show himself on today's good day.
It is said that the documents that can be uploaded directly to Da Han Ji must be an extremely important event, but Bai Tu asked Xiao Pei Ji to try it before, and found that whether it is the technique of improving papermaking and movable type printing, or the four books of Mengxue, they are all within this range......
It's right to think that this represents the popularization of paper and printing respectively, and the great progress of enlightenment education!
Its significance is so far-reaching that I am afraid that it will be more than once when the earth dragon turns over and the yellow dragon floods......
And uploading these to Da Hanji, Bai Tu is not distressed, it is a great thing, and he didn't want to hide it.
As for making money with paper?
Baitu has better papermaking technology has not yet been pointed out, and when the time comes, it will make money like a high-quality book.
What's more, if you really hide all of these for your own use, I'm afraid that some guys who don't want paper to be popular will have the idea of playing white pictures.
On the contrary, as long as the white picture is handed over to Da Hanji, it will be circulated all over the world in an instant, and whoever sees him is not pleasing to the eye will be in vain, and after uploading it to Dahanji, no one can snatch this credit......
And now Bai Tu also knows that when he has made great contributions to the society, there is a chance to awaken the exclusive strategy.
Now Bai Tu's official seal is still empty and has no tricks, and this real benefit will naturally not be let go.
"What kind of exclusive tricks can this set of combination punches inspire? It shouldn't be too bad......" Bai Tu's sloppy image, with some excited and nervous looks.
At the same time, Chen Gong also called Lu Lingqi and came to the county magistrate's office together...... Ah no, now it should be called the county guard office, come to Baitu!
Bai Tu's situation is really wrong, for three whole months, there are only a handful of days to go out.
Lu Lingqi has just awakened the military talisman and has a battle armor, in recent days, she has increased her diligence and tempering, and she has come to Bai Tu less often, Chen Gong is usually busy with military affairs, but a few days ago to see what Bai Tu was doing - after using conscription manpower, why didn't he do anything?
It turned out that Bai Tu's condition was very disturbing, and when he saw him, his eyes were red, and his face was not very good, but unfortunately Chen Gong had never seen the author who rushed the manuscript, so he couldn't describe it......
The brain mending monster thought that it was the recent confusion period of Bai Tu, which had been intense to the last moment, which made his mood swings too violent, because it lasted too long, and he couldn't rest assured, so he called Lu Lingqi, who was good with Bai Tu, and wanted to persuade one or two.
However, he had just come to the front of the office......
Suddenly, ten thousand colored lights fell from the sky, and the scene of Daehyun's birth, which was only described in books, appeared in the sky above the Jisho......
