The whole Lang Son has entered the orbit, and this correct track has brought about the unstoppable torrent, and once the pool full of water is opened, the rushing water will immediately leak out like a surging momentum.

There are many reasons for today's situation, on the one hand, this is a frontier land, from the perspective of the Central Plains and Jiangnan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is wild, precisely because it is undeveloped, but there is no burden and burden, and there are no outdated scholarly families and families.

In addition, Lang Son is an important passage from the Ming Dynasty to Western countries, in essence, it can be called the Silk Road facing the West on land.

And the most important thing is the enlightened policy of the Hao family, as well as the capital that the Hao family has accumulated over the years.

So, the snowball began, this is a positive cycle, because you can earn money here, and the businessmen will not be like elsewhere, they will be looked down upon and discriminated against, so the businessmen from the south to the north are attracted, and they have come here to do business, countless funds are piled up here, countless goods flow back and forth from here, coupled with the emergence of large-scale workshops, so that the cost of production is getting lower and lower, the same is cotton, if it is a small household, to buy a ten catties, eight catties, maybe it takes sixty or seventy dollars, but it is a large-scale production workshop, Order as much as 100,000 catties at a time, this price is not retail, but wholesale money, thirty or forty yuan, it is enough. The source of goods alone is close to the difference of dozens of Wen, in addition, small households produce behind closed doors, and they are naturally reluctant to buy looms, the vast majority. It's all rudimentary looms, such things, drawn out of silk. Not only will a large amount of waste be generated, but the efficiency is also very low, but large-scale production, the use of the latest looms, the use of labor, is also skilled female craftsmen, the same pound of cotton. Perhaps in a subsistence farmhouse, the fabric that can be produced is only a foot. In the workshop, there can be two feet. Moreover, the ripped cloth is often better in the workshop and has a more symmetrical texture. Look at the cloth that comes from self-sufficiency. Not only is it vulgar, but also expensive, and it wastes countless manpower, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

The price is low, the color and quality are better, such a cloth will soon be crushed, so that the Ming Dynasty, the three provinces of Beijing, as well as Cochin, and Western countries, Lang Son cloth is becoming more and more popular. Merchants along the way are also happy to buy goods here. Bringing goods back to the countryside to sell, even if the road is far away, so the price is often several times higher than the price of Lang Son, and it still sells well.

As the trade grew, the scale of the workshop naturally grew, and the labor required did not need to be mentioned, so this Lang Son was everywhere recruiting all kinds of craftsmen and laborers, and in order to compete for manpower, they often did not hesitate to promise higher salaries.

The more the population, and the vast majority of them are working, with wages, the consumption power naturally increases, so Lang Son is the most lacking, is a variety of consumption places, from the beginning of the more monotonous teahouses, wine shops, green buildings, to the later, it is even more varied, can be described as a prosperous industry.

This kind of prosperity is difficult to feel if it is not deep in it, this place seems to be a little different from any other place in the world, the biggest difference is that here, everyone is in a hurry, and the rhythm of life is very different from other places.

Because of its prosperity, it has also attracted many readers.

These readers, most of them are not satisfied, Jingyi may not be their strength, since the industry is not successful, it is necessary to understand some of the way of business, there are also some celebrities, do not want to be officials, would rather do the apartment, I heard that there is prosperity here, and the school is numerous, even if it is a rich family, they are willing to recruit some Xixi at a high price, so the reading people here are very good, and the knowledge involved is also very extensive, many readers come here, are shocked by the prosperity of this, and would rather settle here, and some have found a livelihood here, so they have repaired the book, Let the family come together, there is a belly of ink, in this era when the vast majority of people are illiterate, and in the rich Langshan, life is lazy and comfortable.

Therefore, not only the various schools, but also many bookstores and poetry societies here, most of which are sponsored by some big businessmen, and the businessmen need to put gold on their faces, and they are willing to spend money every day, and the readers come here every now and then to sit down, or to exchange and discuss, or to compete with each other, but it is also quite interesting.

Recently, some people have set up bookstores, which are to include the high theories or poems of some readers, print them, and sell them.

Books in this era, after all, are expensive, fortunately the scale of the bookstore is large, the printing volume is not small, can try to keep the cost down, plus although this Lang Son is illiterate, but the population is increasing, and there are many business travelers passing by, most of the literate people are rich, are willing to buy so many copies, along the way business travelers, will also bring dozens of copies back to their hometowns to sell, so this business has also begun to flourish.

The acceleration of the pace of life makes people nervous, so many people rely on books to entertain themselves, so as to relieve their mental fatigue.

There are even some merchants who have sold silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the goods are brought in, but they return empty-handed, and they are willing to go back with hundreds or even thousands of books.

Therefore, the printing industry gradually began to prosper, and the printed books were also varied, including special scriptures and articles, stories of talented and beautiful women, poems, and even miscellaneous studies such as Zhou Gong's interpretation of hexagrams.

Among them, the best-selling is the Chen Xue classics, the emergence of this Chen Xue, thanks to a person named Chen Kaizhi, this person is a Jinshi, originally went to be an official, but because of his father's funeral, Ding Wei returned to his hometown in Guangxi, after Ding Wei, the court ordered him to enter the court, but he refused, most of the two years, stayed in Langshan, and because he was not small, there were many schools, and he was invited to give lectures.

In fact, this day is very good, everyone respects him like a god, and he goes to two classes every now and then, and the school will give him silver, and he is not polite at all because he speaks well, and more and more people invite him everywhere.

So he had a whim, he actually set up a school, called Langshan Academy, and with the academy, he began to teach, although what he talked about was the Four Books and Five Classics, but it was not science.

So Chen Xue appeared, the basis of Chen Xue, of course, is also Confucianism, but it is very different from the science, he listed many ancient sages allusions, and reinterpreted the Four Books and Five Classics, so it is a school of its own, among which the most central idea of Chen Xue, that is, the so-called virtuous and scholars. He also questioned theories such as women's morality, and attacked the classics of science very harshly.

Such deviant remarks, if they were in Jiangnan, would have been beaten to death a hundred times.

But in this Langshan, instead of being persecuted, this Mr. Chen was in an uproar in the state from the beginning, and gradually, it was also accepted, and even this Chen Xue began to prosper gradually.

The reason why this is the case is not that Mr. Chen has any special means of demagogy, but the root of the problem lies in the problem of soil.

For example, in the far west, the Bible is the supreme scripture for thousands of years, can anyone doubt it? There are naturally doubts, but they are very few, and the reasons for this are nothing more than two reasons, one is that most people are ignorant, and have not seen the vastness of heaven and earth, and their thinking has great limitations, so they encounter any incredible affairs, often attached to the Bible, if they encounter a plague, it is God's punishment, and when they encounter a flood, they are God's test, and they are sick because they are not pious enough.

Although science is not theology, it is just right for the social characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, and the society of men and women weaving needs to establish the order of science, and this soil has changed now.

What the scholars here see and hear is very different from other places, everyone here works, everyone does business, and is engaged in 'cheap industry', among the farmers and industrialists, add to the last, but on the contrary, in this Langshan, it is because of the industry and commerce, so everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, whether it is the gentry or the ordinary people, life is far better than the place dominated by the farmers, at this time, many people of insight can not help but have doubts, this light industry and cheap businessmen, is it really good? If compared, although Langshan is not the emperor's paradise, but compared to the rest of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, it is much better, the warehouse is full of honor and disgrace, people have money, even the lowest workers, have begun to accept education, willing to read and write, because this can bring them the most direct benefits, on the one hand, learn to read and write, can raise their own value, can receive more salary, on the other hand, today's entertainment is varied, such as many new fast books and stories, are excellent tools to pass the time, learn words, It's entertainment, and it's much better than before.

The most important thing is that with salary, you have spare money in your hands, and after you have spare money, you will inevitably have more pursuits, and this reading is one of them.

Although this is a simple question, in the eyes of these great Confucians and scholars in Langshan, it is a great event...... Civilize...... But after shouting for thousands of years, what has been edified? However, in this Langshan District, a place where merchants are entrenched and craftsmen are everywhere, the education is so smooth that there is no need for the government to write and the encouragement of the imperial court, so it spontaneously gives birth to countless night classes and literacy classes, and countless reading schools?
