Chapter 203: Bookstore

Yun Qing listened to Zhu Tao's words and smiled, she was very happy, she also wanted to have a second and a third with her husband.

It didn't take long for the capital to become popular to learn pinyin, because at the beginning pinyin was studied by Zhu Tao with people, so how to popularize pinyin is still done by him.

When the dictionary was not printed in large quantities, Zhu Tao had already found a number of teachers and taught them pinyin for free, just to popularize pinyin.

The teaching gentlemen are not stupid, they come to give each person a dictionary, they are also knowledgeable people, coupled with the support of the emperor behind them, there are rewards for learning well, and they study naturally seriously.

Ensure that Mr. Teaching's knowledge is indeed passed, and he must pass the assessment after studying, and he can go out, otherwise Zhu Tao will not agree to let them go out to harm people after learning half-heartedly.

This group of people is still competitive, their brains are not stupid, and the learning progress is fast, basically as long as they study hard, they can basically get it done in a week, Zhu Tao has taught several batches out, and now all universities in Beijing have begun to teach students to learn pinyin.

Dictionaries have also begun to be sold in study rooms one after another.

The dictionary looks very thick, but the price is the price of an enlightenment book, of course, it will definitely not lose money, after all, the printing technology is updated, and the cost is indeed saved, but it will not make much money.

However, Yinzhen didn't want to make money on this, education is the foundation of the country, and Yinzhen is still very willing in this regard.

Zhu Tao didn't expect the emperor to be so supportive, and he didn't expect to meet such a visionary emperor.

Zhu Tao has been in the Qing Dynasty for so long, and he has also gained knowledge, so he didn't notice that something was wrong, but there is a saying, it's rare to be confused, and now the emperor is willing to value him, he does his duty, and the emperor will not treat him badly.

He got the literary system at first, thinking that he was the chosen one, and he also swelled for a while, but then he also understood that in ancient times, it was not possible to have a literary system to worry about everything.

In addition, the literary system can only provide him with opportunities, and the specific situation depends on his ability.

There was a storm of learning pinyin in the capital, Yinzhen and Yunrong thought about it, and added fuel to the fire.

Yun Rong ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make 100 dictionaries, as well as a number of wood chips for "reading pictures and literacy", with complete sets, and specially held a poetry and writing conference, so that the officials in the capital could participate, and the top 100 were given to dictionaries and other rewards.

Of course, there are other rewards for the top three, and it is impossible for an emperor to spend energy and effort to hold a poetry meeting, and Caitou really only has a dictionary and some things made of wood.

The top three rewards are naturally rich, after this poetry conference, the dictionary is completely popular, the ancients were officials and passed the exams, cheating must be impossible, real talent and real learning are there, and knowledge is naturally there.

Seeing the usefulness of the dictionary, he is naturally willing to prepare a set for his children, and the price is really not expensive anyway.

In this way, the dictionary spread completely in the capital.

Since Yinzhen governed the Qing Dynasty, he paid special attention to the circulation of various places, with newspapers, news circulation, cement, and the carriage was running faster, although there was no steam car, but the carriage was also transformed by Yunrong.

Yun Rong met many neighboring countries and merchants when she followed Yinzhen down Jiangnan in Guangzhou, and purchased rubber from them, which looks inconspicuous, but has a great effect.

For the carriage, it can naturally extend the service life of the carriage and speed up the journey of the carriage.

In addition, Yun Rong also used springs for the carriage, so the carriage would not be so bumpy.

The speed of the carriage has come up in one aspect, and the other aspect is that the security in various places is really good, many people did not come out because they did not dare to, from one place to another, it takes a lot of walking, and there may be some thieves who fall into the grass on the road, and the timid future will not come out for the sake of safety.

A few years ago, in order to train soldiers, Yinzhen used real money to motivate soldiers, and there were fewer thieves all over the country, plus under Yinzhen's governance, not to mention that politics was completely clear, but it was much better than in earlier years.

There are fewer corrupt officials, there are more officials who can do things, and the lives of the people are better.

Therefore, this thief will be fine, and the merchant ships and caravans will increase in various places.

In order to ensure the safety of the people, Yinzhen listened to Yun Rong's words, and some sparsely populated and dangerous places set up barricades, passers-by do not need to give money, but the carriages passing by are all given silver.

It just so happens that there is a lot of silver, which can not only meet the salary of the soldiers guarding the road, but also bring some additional income.

But whoever can afford to sit in the carriage naturally does not lack that little bit of silver, besides, they have paid the silver, but they can rest assured! The roadblocks are set up quite frequently, but the price is not high, and soldiers will be sent to parade at regular points on the road.

Anyway, the caravans were more than happy to pay for it.

Ordinary people naturally have no opinion, they don't make carriages, and they don't need to pay money on foot, and the safety on the road is guaranteed, and it's too late for them to be happy!

This transportation was also convenient, so soon pinyin dictionaries began to become popular in various places in the Qing Dynasty.

Most of the people who read are people who have extra money in their hands, and the dictionary is not expensive, learn pinyin well, spend a piece of money to sell enlightenment books, you can know all the words, and it is very cost-effective.

Near the capital because of geographical reasons, pinyin this kind of thing school to teach, spend some silver, a family learned one by one, a family can also learn to learn, buy a dictionary, a family can use it, even if it is not the imperial examination, can read and hyphenate out of the door will not worry about being deceived to go.

It only took three months, pinyin and dictionary became the time, Yinzhen was very happy, and called Zhu Tao over on this day.

"Zhu Aiqing has done a good job, I am very relieved, I am very relieved that the education department has handed it over to you."

Zhu Tao said with a grateful face: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, this is a matter within the minion's share." ”

Yin Zhen: "Aiqing, don't be modest, I came to you today to tell you something." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Yinzhen: "That's the case, now there are a lot of stories serialized in the newspaper, some of the stories are indeed educational, I want you to supervise a bookstore, no matter what books are sold, serious literary and historical books, miscellaneous travelogues can also be used, newspapers can also be organized into collections, you can also accept books written by talented people, you look at the books that you think are good, organize them into a list, I want you to try to open a place in the capital where all readers can read for free, where the place is, how big you can settle down by yourself." ”

When Zhu Tao heard this, he was immediately shocked, the emperor wanted him to open a library!

However, how much space does the library need to accommodate a large number of students and free books?

However, if you think about it carefully, the proportion of scholars in ancient times is not large, and the population in ancient times is much smaller than in modern times.

If you plan carefully, you can't do it.

Zhu Tao: "The slave takes the order." ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "I believe that Aiqing will not disappoint me, I know that if this bookstore wants to be built, it will definitely occupy a large area, so let's do it!" I have heard that most of the buildings in the West are towering, and we have cement, so if we build a few more floors of the bookstore, it will definitely be possible. ”

Zhu Tao looked confused when he heard this, what does the emperor mean by this? The idea was given to him, and even a helper was found, and now he only needs to build the bookstore according to the emperor's requirements, so that he can ...... It's okay to make him feel very unaccomplished.

Then Zhu Tao's address of Charlie left the palace.
