In addition to the literati at the table, everyone else reacted similarly. They left the restaurant one after another, and rushed to the east of the city to get the book according to what the official said.

Nowadays, "books" are a rare object, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are collectibles. In many cases, it is not something that can be bought with money.

At this time, I heard that the government was going to distribute it for free, and who could sit still.

Soon, only two tables of guests were still drinking and eating unhurriedly in Tingyu Xuan, including the table next to the literati who had been seated before.

After those people left, the shopkeeper and storyteller in Tingyu Xuan raised their heads together, and there seemed to be a glint in their eyes.

glanced at the remaining guests in the restaurant, and suddenly felt a shock.

I understand that the identities of these people should be similar to my own.

Now whether it is the Beijing Qing Mansion or the Propaganda Committee, there are quite a lot of people below, distributed all over Daxia.

In addition to some people who live in restaurants and shops, there are also people who do other things and travel around.

It is not only convenient to investigate the people's sentiments and public opinions, but also to supervise the changes at the bottom.

However, although the shopkeeper probably guessed the identities of these people, he did not say much. The two systems are different, and private communication is taboo.

As long as you complete your tasks well, record your words and deeds, and guide public opinion at the appropriate time, it is enough.

......

In the east of Fengcheng City, Ningzhou, a temporary grass hut at this time was already filled with stacks of books.

The words "literacy", "Xia law" and "Confucianism" are written on it, which is extremely eye-catching.

And that's not all, from time to time in the distance, officials are continuing to transport the books temporarily stored in the local government in horse-drawn carts.

In fact, preparations for the printing of books began last year, and it has been going on for several months now, so that 100 million copies can be distributed at one time.

The total number may seem like a lot, but the amount allocated to individual state capitals is very limited.

It is not troublesome to send it from Yangcheng to various places, along with the goods of the imperial merchants, with the help of the leyline rail car.

Speaking of which, the cost of this thing is really not high, whether it is paper or printing, it consumes the most ordinary raw materials.

The main reason is that the process is more time-consuming. Because of the need for secrecy, it is not possible to find someone to make it on a large scale, or make it with great fanfare.

Therefore, both papermaking and subsequent printing are completed in the Ministry of Industry, which greatly limits the production speed.

Fortunately, the amount required is not large, and it is not difficult to accomplish.

But even so, Qin Zhao is not prepared to increase manpower or relax restrictions on this. In fact, no matter how much we expand the scale of printing, it is difficult to produce qualitative changes. It is better to wait until after industrialization.

At that time, the population of Daxia should also be able to enter a stage of rapid growth.

After the efforts of the household department and subordinate scribes at all levels over the past few days, all the people of Daxia have now been basically registered, and there are very few black households.

According to statistics, the total population of the human race is less than 90 million. Excluding newborn children and the elderly, there are about 60 or 70 million young adults.

However, it is not meaningful for those over the age of 40 to go to school and study, but they are newborn children, and they should be educated from an early age.

Moreover, it does not mean that everyone should have a set of books, one or two sets of books are enough for a family.

Qin Zhao estimated that the number of 30 million was basically just right, and if it was not enough, it could be printed again and again as a supplement in the future, and it should be able to achieve a balance.

In the future, the printing department under the Ministry of Industry will mainly publish new books and newspapers, after all, it is impossible to cultivate real talents with these three introductory books.

This is just a wedge, the first step to pry open the prosperity of the human race. The follow-up step by step continuous cultivation is the key.

Of course, it won't be free then. At least the cost price should be recovered, and even the Ministry of Industry can make a little profit from small and medium-sized enterprises.

All three books are important, but none of the most basic and crucial of them is Literacy.

To put it bluntly, this book is actually a dictionary. Even if you don't memorize the whole text, it's good as a reference book.

If you don't even know the words and don't understand the basic truth, who still has the interest in reading. Reading everything is the same as reading a book from the sky, and it's strange that you can learn it.

Speaking of this book, it is still Qin Zhao's opinion. Now it is not realistic to promote pinyin and the like, so with the help of the rhyme method of the previous life, ordinary people can quickly master the human language.

I still remember that he was in the school palace at that time and explained in detail the basic production ideas of this book.

It amazed all the old pedants.

In this book, the text is divided into thirty-six mothers, two hundred and six rhymes, and four tones.

Mark a Chinese character with three coordinates, and you can find the homophone word by pressing the map when searching, and then take more according to the reading of the homophone.

If there is no homophone, you can find several other words with the same coordinates and a word with different coordinates, and finally guess according to the pronunciation rules.

For example, the word "zhao" is the mother of "zhi", "good" rhyme, and four tones.

As for "Xia Lu", not to mention. Although the laws of Daxia are now relatively strict, because of the complexity of the provisions, many ordinary people do not know all of them. From this point of view, this book can be used as a tool.

At the same time, this book also reflects the Legalist idea of governing the country, which is also very suitable for enlightenment.

In Qin Zhao's concept, Confucianism and Legalism are indispensable for the human race in the future.

Regardless of whether Confucianism can eventually penetrate the hearts of the people, it is impossible for him to give up Legalism.

Confucianism can establish the hearts of all people, and Legalism is the foundation of governing the country. Even at this stage, the importance of Legalism is even greater.

The last book, "Confucianism", is the real enlightenment reading.

On the one hand, it teaches people the importance of the six arts of a gentleman, that is, the importance of basic skills such as etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

On the other hand, it allows people to further understand etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and establish a outlook on life and values for the people of the human race. The benevolent are not worried, the knowers are not confused, and the benevolent are not afraid.

In the previous life, why did the Chinese nation endure for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time, unlike the Roman Empire in the West, which disappeared in the long river of history?

In addition to the unification of the Qin Dynasty after the unification of the written culture into one and the unification of the administrative system, another very important reason is the uniqueness of Confucianism.

The sea is inclusive, constantly evolving, and truly uniting the whole nation.

However, the Canglan world is different.

After all, the human race here is the human race, and the alien race is the foreign race, and there is an essential difference in morphological structure, and maybe there is reproductive isolation between the two.

Correspondingly, the Great Xia Dynasty, which unified the human race, naturally had a natural population cohesion.

But for this reason, it is all the more necessary to establish the unique thinking of the human race, so that the people will no longer hesitate.

At this time, behind the makeshift grass hut, hundreds of people had gathered waiting to receive the books. At the same time, people came from afar one after another, for fear that it would be too late and not be able to take their turn.

Around the grass shed, dozens of officials stood armed with standard long knives to maintain order.

In the crowd, most of the ordinary people looked excited, and regardless of whether the people next to them knew each other, they directly started talking.

"Are those stacked books to be handed out?"

"It's a strange style, isn't it a bamboo slip?"

"I've heard that it's called 'paper,' and it's easy to write. It was invented by His Majesty the Holy Emperor and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, in order to facilitate us ordinary people to read and write. Someone mysteriously preached to the people around him.

This person is actually a junior member of the Propaganda Committee, but he is dressed like an ordinary person, and his speech at this time is not noticeable.

But what he said was amazing.

It is not that I doubt the veracity of this statement. Since Qin Zhao ascended the throne, he has done too many unbelievable things, and people have become accustomed to it.

It's just that I didn't expect to be able to think of even writing supplies, and it seems that it is very convenient.

In the impression of the world, only high-ranking families can write on brocade silk. As for them, ordinary people, they don't dare to think about it at all.

"Huh? Is this also the handiwork of His Majesty the Holy Emperor? ”

"The Holy One has always been thinking about us in his heart."

"It is really a blessing for our human race to have such a Holy Emperor......

At the same time, not only in Ningzhou, but also in various parts of Great Xia, similar incidents are occurring.

Many people held the three books in their hands, stroking them up and down with love, as if they were their lovers.

Those who had not yet received the book looked at the queue with envy in their eyes and anxiously. I was secretly worried that the books would not be distributed enough, and I just finished distributing them when I got to them.

As most people received the three volumes, more intense discussions ensued.

The crowd was first delighted, then amazed.

I was amazed at the thin material of the paper, and when compared with each other, I found that the font on all the books was exactly the same.

"I really don't know how the Holy One did it. It's a god. ”

"Isn't that normal? You don't need to worry about those things, look at this "literacy", it's really a god!! A person next to him answered casually, but his eyes seemed to be glued to the book, unable to extricate himself.

"Literacy?" The previous man didn't care about his tone, and hurriedly found the "Literacy" from the three books, and looked through it.

And muttered, "What to pretend, as if you can see it......"

As a result, as I looked at it, my voice became quieter and quieter, and I ignored the movement around me.

I secretly said in my heart: Indeed, as the man said, this book is divine!

Wang Fan, as his name suggests, is an ordinary and ordinary homesteaders.

Now in his forties, his simple and honest square face has been full of vicissitudes and wrinkles.

His skin had already been tanned by the scorching sun while working in the fields.

His family background is not good or bad. Although they are not landless and propertyless, they need to be tenants to survive. But the family's land property is only enough to support their family, and there is no surplus at all.

The land is also handed down from the ancestors, and the family has been farming for generations, and has never thought of changing careers.

"If I can keep this ancestral business, I will be satisfied." He often said this to his children.

But when I dream back at midnight, why don't you want to give my young son a good education, so that he can get ahead in the future, so that the Wang family can also become an official master?

It's just that this kind of thing can only be thought about in dreams.

Study? There is no mine at home, and I don't dare to think like this without dreaming!

Until today, when he heard about the government's free distribution of books, he didn't think about anything, so he excitedly left the farmland and came here to receive the books.

But in the process of waiting in line, it is inevitable that I will start to think crankily.

"Alas...... I'm illiterate, so what's the use of taking a book? I can't teach the baby. A year's harvest can't be exchanged for a gentleman to teach.

"Why don't you sum it up with Lao Wu and make up money to invite someone? I think Lao Wu also has some ideas, but I don't know if Mr. minds about this matter.

"Today, the saint is naturally sincerely thinking about our people, and he also said that he will open a school in the future, and it is a pity to miss it.

"But if you are admitted on the basis of merit, after taking these books, the child can't understand them, so it's still in vain.

"Or take it home and treasure it, it's free anyway, don't be in vain......

"No! This opportunity cannot be wasted. It's a big deal to save some money and save more money for a few hungry meals.

"Wait for Master Liu to hire farmers, and let my mother-in-law take care of the family's fields, and I'll go there to earn some more.

"No matter what, I still have to think of a way for my son......"

Waiting left and right, the queue finally came to Wang Fan.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of books on the table, and there is no embarrassing scene where it is just his turn to finish the book.

Before this, Wang Fan had wiped his hands on the coarse linen clothes many times.

At this moment, he stretched out a pair of big dark and rough hands, and took the three books with a respectful expression. Carefully wrapped in a roll of muslin.

- He didn't think to look at it.

Anyway, I can't read it, and I spoil good things, so it's better to take it home and save it first.

At this moment, a discussion came into my ears next to me—

"This book is amazing! I'm sure I'll learn it all from this book! ”

"Which book are you talking about? I read the "Xia Lu", except for the outermost two big characters, reading the content is the same as reading the book of heaven, and I didn't understand anything. ”

"Literacy, you can see it by looking at it."

“……”

When Wang Fan heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still took out the book from his arms, found "Literacy", and flipped through it lightly.

Some simple and basic words, he can still recognize.

Flipping through it, his expression became agitated, and tears even appeared in his eyes.

"With this book, I can let my baby read and write without inviting my husband, and I will have the opportunity to enter the school in the future......"

This book "Literacy" has subverted almost everyone's perception of learning!

In the impression of these people, literacy has never been a simple matter.

They are all large families, and they invite a special teacher to come to the house, correct the pronunciation of the children word by word, and tell the meaning.

And then describe the usage little by little, and you may not be able to learn it and remember it.

If you really want to fully understand the basic text, it is impossible to do it in three or five years.

In this book, that's not the case at all!

This book uses the most basic and commonly used words as initials and rhymes. Those words, even an old farmer like Wang Fan, can recognize most of them.

At first, I was a little confused when I used it, but after a second look, I quickly learned it.

As an adult, basic cognition is still there. In fact, many people are not stupid, they just don't have the opportunity to touch these things.

......

With the spread of these three new books, not only among the people, but also in the world's academic palace, there is also endless debate.

But unlike ordinary people, who focus their eyes on the book "Literacy".

After all, there are top talents of various schools here, and there is no situation of not being literate, and the main discussion is the two books "Xia Lu" and "Confucianism".

There's really not much to say about literacy. It's easy to use and it's over.

What's more, this is the idea proposed by Emperor Xia himself, and no one can't think of competing with this book.

But the other two books involve professional knowledge. Although they are only basic ideas, these contents are the most important, related to the foundation of the school, and no one dares to ignore them.

In the "Xia Law", the main reason is that the legalists who served in the Criminal Department rebuilt the past Daxia Law again, and the content of this part of the revision has caused a little criticism.

However, because Wu Yong and the others strictly followed Qin Zhao's orders, step by step, and did not change too much content, there were not many voices.

The focus is still on the book "Confucianism".

Unlike today's primers, which are distributed free of charge in various places, the basic texts that the Academy offers scholars to study include a wide range of categories.

Only derivative content such as qi, science, and mind has not yet been officially opened to everyone.

In the academy, scholars who studied ancient rites were naturally divided into two factions at first, one who recognized Confucianism and the other who did not.

The former is extremely numerous and completely crushes the latter.

But then, things have changed. Because the side that endorsed Confucianism split into several factions, arguing endlessly about the way forward.

Qin Zhao was not worried about this.

The more the reasoning is argued, the clearer it becomes. This process is essential to the perfection of any idea. What's more, he has a route to guide and is not afraid of going astray. Only the occasional intervention is all that is needed.

At this time, in the Qianyuan Hall of Xiayang Palace, Qin Zhao also felt a change in the luck gold list.

At the same time, the phantom of the people above the Purple Platform of the Sea of Knowledge became more and more condensed, and the realm of cultivation was rapidly improved. In the midst of the halo flowing, pieces of Qionglou rose from the ground, and it seemed that it was about to be completely completed.

[Enlighten the wisdom of all beings, and the beginning of the Wendao weather.] Received the spirit of the people to feed, and the leader of the list entered a continuous state of luck. Luck increases by 20,000, and the soul is greatly enhanced! The supernatural power 'Innate Delusion Divine Eyes' has grown significantly! ]

[Current Luck: 71230]

[Open Qi Luck Collection: Buddhist Sutra Series Classics, Taoist Series Classics, Mind Series Classics]

As the "Human Emperor Heavenly Palace" approached the consummation realm of the Qionglou Realm, he clearly felt that his divine soul was further condensed. If you use the fugue method at this time, I am afraid that it will be like another body.

In addition, the range of more than 1,000 miles that could be perceived when Zitai was completed before has also expanded again. According to his estimates, when Qionglou is completed, the territory of the dynasty will be covered thousands of miles away.

However, the changes are much more than that.

The purple veins in Qin Zhao's eyebrows suddenly emitted a bright light.

Different from the faint halo before, now from a distance, it looks like the longitudinal stripe has opened a gap!

Of course, this is not the case.

Today's delusional eyes are not skin and flesh open, but a light eye suspended at a distance of more than an inch outward, but it still can't be completely opened.

However, he didn't care too much about the improvement of his cultivation and supernatural powers at this time, but looked at the newly opened Qi Luck Collection.

"It's finally here!" He couldn't help but clench his fists lightly, secretly happy in his heart.

Although he was not in a hurry to exchange and promote, the appearance of these things confirmed some of the speculations in his heart.

And for the future of the human race, it is also more confident.

Qin Zhao, who was in a good mood, swept his mind and noticed the controversy in the Tianxia Academy, shook his head and chuckled.

Then he directly arranged for the guards to drive out of the palace and go to the Western Suburbs School Palace, ready to briefly mention a few words.

......

"'The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light.'" You see, how can this kind of statement be written in a book? In this way, it will inevitably damage the prestige of His Majesty. ”

In the Tianxia School Palace, an old man shook his head and sighed lightly, obviously very dissatisfied with this remark.

"Yes, I agree with Mr. Yan. Although Master Shangshu is very thorough in the study of Confucianism, he inevitably expects too much from ordinary Li people. ”

The "Lord Shangshu" in this person's mouth is naturally Zifei. Although his foundation was not Confucianism, he studied this school very deeply.

Most of the "Confucianism" distributed to ordinary people was also from him.

Before it was released, of course, the content had been approved by Qin Zhao.

"The same cannot be said. The people are only Bangben, and Bengu Bangning. The people know the etiquette and righteousness, know the importance of the country, know the holy will, and know the emperor's grace, and they will be in awe of the imperial power. Someone else retorted.

"The imperial power is supreme, how can this truth be propagated, how can it still highlight the status of His Majesty?"

“……”

Just as several people were arguing about this, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Status is never said by mouth. ”

This voice is known to everyone in the school palace.

One by one, they hurriedly got up and faced Qin Zhao, bowed in unison and saluted, "See Your Majesty." ”

He waved his hand to signal everyone to flatten and continued.

"The country is based on the people, and it is also for the people, and there is nothing to say about this. How can I, the people of the human race, depire myself? ”

Looking at the hundreds of faces in front of him, he said solemnly: "Today, if it is only because I am the emperor and hold great power, you will worship me, respect me, and fear me." So in the future, if there is an invasion of foreign races, and the strength is stronger than the human race, will you go to worship him and honor him? ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts." Qin Zhao said earnestly.

"To evaluate the rights and wrongs, likes and dislikes of a thing, we must be objective and fair. If you just think it is advantageous, you can take it as a guideline and vigorously promote it, and such an evaluation is too subjective. If you want to really know something, you must not bring personal subjectivity. ”

"Your Majesty, it's the old minister's one-sided thinking." The old man surnamed Yan suddenly realized and said ashamedly.

"Mr. Yan doesn't have to say that." Qin Zhao smiled gently, "The development and spread of Confucianism still needs to be studied by you. To explain its meaning, we should walk with the times, and do not force conclusions, so as to leave room for future generations. ”

"Ministers obey ......"

All the scholars in the palace were convinced.

Soon, Qin Zhao's words in the school palace were widely spread in the world through the propaganda of "people with hearts".
