"This really doesn't mean that Uncle Huang's things can't work, these things of Uncle Huang are indeed very good, very good.

It's refreshing.

Although it is an enlightenment thing, I feel deafening when I look at it.

These books of the emperor's uncle are easy to understand, but they have the truth of life, and they are the best for enlightenment.

But......

However, these things are only afraid that they will be difficult to promote.

Because it takes too much time to produce a large number of books.

Moreover, paper, bamboo and wood books are also very valuable, and they are not something that ordinary families can use.

Besides, in the farmhouse, a seven- or eight-year-old child is already a good helper.

As the adults go down to the fields to farm, mow the grass for the livestock and graze the pigs......

These are all jobs they can do.

Many peasant families will not allow their children to study.

I don't think it's useful to learn it.

Moreover, if you learn, you have to be bound......

There are not so many literate people who are willing to do this......

These books made by Uncle Huang are very good, but when the time comes, I am afraid that they will benefit the family......"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Cheng and said.

Talking about all kinds of difficulties.

"The main thing is that there aren't enough books."

Liu Cheng nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is very true. ”

Liu Cheng said, and took out a few books again.

"Bong-filial piety, let's take a look at these books."

When Guo Jia heard this, he reached out and took it and watched it.

I found that these books were the same as the set that Uncle Huang gave him at the beginning, all of which were books such as the Three Character Classic.

When you open it, the contents are the same.

This made Guo Jia a little confused for a while.

This...... What does this imperial uncle mean?

If you want to train your own readers, have an impact on the family, and even replace the family in the future, then you need more than one or two books?

Even if it is Uncle Huang, at this time, it is impossible to take out a hundred and ten copies at once!

He looked very puzzled, and he didn't know why Uncle Liu Huang, who looked very extraordinary, couldn't even understand such a simple truth.

He thought in his heart, but he still kept his eyes on this book, watching.

After a while, his movements suddenly stopped, as if he had made some discovery.

After a pause, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand and went to open another three-character scripture and turn it to the same page.

His eyes couldn't help but be stunned.

In the same place, there is a more conspicuous ink spot!

Moreover, the shape and size of these two ink dots are exactly the same!

Guo Jia stared at these two ink dots for a while, and then quickly shifted his gaze to the words.

Watch the two books one by one.

After looking at it like this for a while, the speed of flipping through it couldn't help but speed up.

The same!

It's exactly the same!!

Not the content of the book, but the text of the book!

The same text in the same place in both books, all identical!

Generally speaking, even if you ask the same person to write the same article twice, it will definitely not be exactly the same.

There will be some differences in font or line spacing.

But now, the two three-character scriptures that Uncle Huang took out are exactly the same!

He let go of the Three Character Sutra and opened the two books of nature.

Once you've opened it, you can't wait to compare it.

And then send it, these two books are also the same scene!

After comparing these two books, although Guo Jia really wanted to compare the rest of the books one by one.

However, he still couldn't resist making a comparison.

Because he knows that the result is the same whether it is compared or not.

These books, naturally, are all the same.

"Uncle Huang...... This...... How is this done? ”

Guo Jia looked at Liu Cheng and asked like this, his voice was a little dry.

At the same time, there is too much excitement in my heart, which is suppressed.

Liu Cheng said with a smile: "This is a new method of making books that Ma Jun and I have researched, and I named it printing." ”

"Typography?"

Guo Jia couldn't help but mutter, thinking quickly.

"Uncle Huang, isn't this printing technique just like a seal, printed on the paper?"

When Liu Cheng heard this, he gave Guo Jia a thumbs up.

"It is worthy of filial piety, and it is thorough at one point.

This printing technique is to print with something like a seal.

However, it is not a single word, nor is it a few words.

Instead, the contents of a page of the book are engraved on a board and then printed. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he only felt that the light flashed in his brain.

There were a lot of things at once.

Oh, yes!

Oh, yes!

These seals can be used to print names.

The appearance of seals, how can it be more than a hundred years?

After such a long period of time, why didn't anyone think of making books in a similar way as making seals?

But Uncle Liu Huang in front of him thought of this kind of idea, and really made it!

"That's a great idea! Uncle Huang is a genius! ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but praise Liu Cheng warmly.

"Uncle Huang, this ...... How much of this stuff can be made in a day? ”

Liu Chengdao: "Not counting the time for making paper, if you just make books, three people, a three-character scripture, one person printing, two people binding, you can get more than 1,000 books a day."

Of course, this is due to the small number of words and the short length of the three-character scripture.

After that, I was going to bind the three-character scripture, disciple rules, fables, and thousand-character texts into a book.

Give it a unified name, called language.

Of course, there is more to this book than that.

In the future, we will still have to add content, and publish the second and third volumes.

Otherwise, it is impossible to just rely on the superficial things in front of us to cultivate talents who have a great impact on the family and are very useful to ourselves. ”

Liu Cheng said with a smile.

Three people can get more than 1,000 copies in one day?

This...... What kind of speed is this?

And it's also a one-person print!

The two of them bound it into a book!

Although the number of words in the three-character scripture is not much, if you let people sit here and copy, even if you really get three skilled readers, not to mention that the words are particularly well written, but also to talk about the binding, just let them sit here and copy, at the end of the day, the hands and necks are tired, and it is impossible to copy down so much!

Just when his heart was shaking like this, Liu Cheng on the side suddenly remembered something, and added softly: "By the way, use this method to make books, and the people who make books don't need to be literate or able to write."

As long as others do a good job of the version in the early stage, then they can do it well if they are illiterate or not......"

Liu Cheng's careless words had a great impact on Guo Jia again.

"You don't have to worry too much about paper, Bong Hyo and look at the paper used to make books?"

Liu Cheng looked at Guo Jia and asked with a smile.

Guo Jia looked down at the paper of the book again.

"Smooth, delicate, and white as jade, it can be seen from the clear handwriting on it that this kind of paper is also very good for writing.

It can be said that it is the best paper I have ever seen when I sat down. ”

Liu Chengdao: "Then Feng Xiao thinks, how much should this paper be worth?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Ordinary paper, you still need two dollars for a large sheet."

The cheapest of those kinds of paper, which is the cheapest, also cost ten dollars.

The price is relatively good, and it can be sold for twelve or fifteen yuan.

Uncle Huang's paper is very beautiful, and it is the best paper.

The price must be more expensive.

It can be sold for a large sheet for eighteen dollars, or twenty dollars.

This is not an exaggeration. ”

Guo Jia said.

"But since Uncle Huang asked me about the price, then this paper must not be as expensive as I said.

Either it's the same price as those fine papers, or it's cheaper than the previous fine papers, eight dollars should be about the same. ”

Liu Cheng smiled when he heard this: "What Feng Xiao said is very right, this paper is indeed not as expensive as those papers.

However, what Feng Xiao said, eight dollars a piece, is still a bit too high.

Since I want to promote education, then this paper must become cheaper, otherwise, it will have a great impact on education. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he nodded and looked at the paper in his hand, which was really very good.

Eight dollars were sold cheaply.

Uncle Huang actually said, eight dollars is still expensive?

"Then Uncle Huang thinks, how much is more appropriate?

Five...... Five dollars a piece? ”

When Guo Jia said this, he was a little difficult to speak.

After all, this paper is so fine.

Five dollars, it's really too little.

Liu Cheng shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said, "It's three dollars a piece."

It's not a small sheet like that, but a large sheet like a regular piece of paper. ”

Three...... Three money?!

Even though Guo Jia has already been mentally prepared.

But at this time, after hearing Liu Cheng say three money, he still felt that there was something deep in his heart, which exploded.

It's amazing!

It's amazing!

The worst paper, it costs two dollars.

This kind of paper is basically not suitable for familiar writing.

It's usually used for something else.

But now, the paper that Uncle Huang made is extremely sophisticated, and it is the best paper in the Han Dynasty.

But Uncle Huang actually said that he only needed three dollars?

How is this possible?!

In the shock of his heart, Guo Jia quickly thought of what was going on!

"Uncle Huang...... Are you ready to lose money selling paper in time? ”

Guo Jia looked at Liu Cheng and said.

This is the only possibility that Guo Jia has come up with.

That is, Uncle Liu Huang put money in this in order to promote education.

Otherwise, how is it possible that such a beautiful paper is sold so cheaply?

Definitely.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain this matter.

Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "That's not the case, in fact, this paper can make a lot of money by selling it at this price."

The profit of a single sheet is indeed not as good as that of the expensive paper that is sold, but it is better in terms of cheap price, good quality, small profits and quick turnover, and it will be able to sell a lot of money when the time comes. ”

After hearing Liu Cheng's words, even though Guo Jia was well-informed, he was speechless for a while!

It's amazing!

Such a good paper, sold for three dollars a lot, and there is still a profit?

Listening to Uncle Huang's meaning, he can still make a lot of money?

This...... It's amazing!

Is this paper really that cheap?

Liu Cheng said with a smile: "This paper is also made after improvement.

The materials are not so exquisite, and the production is simple, which can greatly reduce the production cost......"

Although Liu Cheng said this, Guo Jia's mood still couldn't calm down for a while.

After a while, he said, "Who said that these techniques are tricks and tricks?" If anyone dares to say this in front of me, I will give him a sword directly! ”

Such a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, where is it slandered by a strange trick?

Liu Cheng nodded and gave Guo Jia a thumbs up again.

This Guo Jia, although he is relatively thin, has a very good temper.

A scholar should have such a character.

After talking like this for a while, Liu Cheng said: "I decided to distribute the textbooks in the school for free for students to study.

However, these books still belong to the school, and when they are promoted from the lower grades to the higher grades, they need to be left for the later people to continue to use and study.

Transcription is possible......

The cost of books, and the profit from the sale of paper, can be fully financed.

Mr. Teaching, the imperial court pays for hiring, and students go to school for free, without having to pay for it.

In the future, the bookstore will also be able to print some other books and sell them.

In addition, the money obtained from the printing and sale of books was used to establish education.

It may not be enough, but it can cover a large part of the cost......

As for what Feng Xiao said, the people do not allow their children to go to school, I will order this matter when the time comes, stipulating that children who are suitable for school must be sent to school for school, and if they do not go to school, it is a crime.

Penalties will be imposed on parents, local officials!

And when the time comes, it's not just boys, but girls of school age who will also be going to school and getting an education like boys......"

Hearing Liu Cheng's words, Guo Jia was shocked again.

A large number of schools were built free of charge, and it was directly stipulated that no study would be broken, and parents and local officials in charge of these matters would be forced to attend school......

That's really...... It's heart-wrenching and refreshing!

However, after hearing Liu Cheng say that girls should go to school and receive education like boys, a lot of confusion still rose in his heart.

Even if it was a person like him, he couldn't accept it for a while, and he couldn't understand Uncle Liu's thoughts.

"Do you think it's strange for me to let girls and boys read and write and go to school?"

Liu Cheng looked at Guo Jia and asked with a smile.

Guo Jia said: "If the imperial uncle wants to do this, then there must be the imperial uncle's reasoning and considerations."

It's just that...... It's just that I'm being stupid, and I didn't understand for a while that Uncle Huang's intention to do this... It doesn't matter if this woman doesn't go to school or not..."

Liu Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, there is no special intention, it's just that I think women should have the right to accept opportunities."

Moreover, when there are more and more women who are literate and hyphenated, you will find that things will be very different.

Many women can also do amazing things......"
