0311 Newspaper (1st Shift)
The people of the Press became the second group to see the book.
Don't underestimate the workers at the Press, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are one of the most well-read groups in the world.
The books collected by the Tang Kingdom from all over the country were first copied and annotated by the Hongwen Museum, and then sent to the printing house for mass printing.
They had read every single one.
As the amount of reading goes up, the level of appreciation naturally goes up.
After reading Wen Yi's book, their feelings were very complicated, happy, excited, aggrieved, suddenly realized, and so on.
They don't know if the book is right or not, but they are willing to believe it is right, and they are willing to fight for the realization of the world depicted in the book.
Then the Press suspended all other work and devoted all its efforts to printing the book.
The 150,000-word book was carved in three and a half days, and the finished book was already placed on Wenyi's desk on the fourth day.
After reviewing it and making sure that there were no changes, he ordered it to be printed in large quantities, and he asked Tang Guoren to have a copy of "Rights and Responsibilities" in his hands.
The third group to see this book were Xue Dayuan, Gan Xian, Mo Jun, Wu Yi, Chen Xiu, and Zhou Qi.
Not surprisingly, everyone was shocked.
Mo Jun, Wu Yi, Chen Xiu, Guo Jiting and other scholars from poor families were shocked and uneasy, this book is very rebellious.
Xue Dayuan, Gu Yi, Zhang Hong and other people from humble backgrounds burst into tears with excitement, the king is still the king, and his dedication to the people has never changed.
The old Huang school, represented by Zhou Qi, danced happily, and the book quoted a lot of Lao Zhuang's thoughts.
In particular, 'the way of heaven and the way of man' is considered to be the essence of the essence, and it is a major breakthrough in Huang Lao's theory, how can they not be happy.
Confucianists have mixed feelings, and this book is a subversion of the Confucian system of ethics and morality in many places.
But it also draws heavily on Confucianism, especially Mencius. And this book also bluntly states that the purpose of everything is to establish a world of great harmony.
The old and the old, the young and the young...... The tiller has his field, and the dweller has his house......
Didn't they defect to the Tang Kingdom because they were attracted by the goal of the Great Harmony World?
If Tang Guo also uses the same old method, what is the point of them coming here?
So their mood is the most complicated, but overall acceptable.
Gan Xian's face was expressionless after reading it, but when he got home, he was ready to burn all his books. While his family was procrastinating, they went to the palace to find Wen Yi.
After receiving the news, Wen Yi didn't have any clothes on, so he ran all the way and finally snatched all the books at the last moment.
Then the two had a long talk all night, talking about "rights and responsibilities", "the way of heaven", "humanity", "law", "antiquity", and imagining the future......
Gan Xian finally gave up his plan to burn the book, but he also vowed not to write another word until he thoroughly understood "Rights and Responsibilities".
Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he doesn't write, he won't write.
Gan Xian's research is a summary and speculation of previous Legalist thoughts, even if there is no new idea, it is a masterpiece that can be handed down to the world.
What's more, he accepted the edification of Wen Yi, although he did not make a huge breakthrough, but he also proposed a lot of new ideas, and it would be a pity to burn them.
After reading this book, the senior management finally understood why Wen Yi always said that he would cultivate a group of talents of his own first, and then send troops to fight the world.
If his so-called new talent is the kind written in the book, it should indeed be cultivated in advance.
The impact of Rights and Responsibilities has only just begun.
The fourth group to see this book were middle and low-level officials, as well as teachers.
So far, this book has completely spread and has become the most discussed topic in the Tang Kingdom, and wherever the crowd gathers, someone must mention this book.
Subsequently, there were more and more interpretations of the book, and the debate gradually increased.
Wen Yi made another move, opening a class in Guozijian, selecting dozens of young students, and he personally taught the book.
The students then travel to various places to spread the content of the book.
There are only 50 students in this class, but every time the lecture is held, the room is full of people, and the number of people attending the class is basically two or three hundred.
At the same time, he also got the newspaper out of the thing.
However, it was not cost-effective to print newspaper engravings, so movable type printing was introduced. For today's printing houses, it is too easy to make movable type printing.
In order to save paper, newspaper printing uses small characters, and carving such small characters is a high requirement for craftsmen.
Fortunately, the printing house has trained enough craftsmen in the past few years, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
Here I have to mention the credit of pinyin and simplified characters, according to the first letter and second letter of pinyin...... to quickly find the desired chunk.
There are many strokes in traditional Chinese characters, and it is too difficult to engrave small characters, even if the engraving is successfully printed, it may be a ball of ink dots, and simplified Chinese characters have no worries about this.
Tang Guo Weekly is the name of this newspaper.
The first page is printed with some policy things, and the rest of the pages are all about the interpretation of "Rights and Responsibilities".
But none of these interpretations came from the hands of Wen Yi, and at the beginning they were the homework of the students in the study class, and the excellent publications were selected.
Later, those who were in the audience also wanted to express their opinions, so they tried to submit articles, and the excellent ones were accepted. Fortunately, more and more people are starting to contribute.
Later, some people even submitted interpretation manuscripts of other books, and the writing was very good. What should I do, do I want to publish it?
After thinking about it, Wen Yi decided to set up a journal under the banner of Guozijian, which was called Guozi Journal.
As soon as the achievements of Guozi Journal were sought after by all readers, all kinds of manuscripts flocked to them.
If you have a newspaper, you have to have a corresponding law, otherwise there will be big problems.
After discussing with the ministers, Wen Yi unanimously decided to set up a new press and publication bureau under the Ministry of Rites to manage this work, and at the same time formulated interim regulations on press and publication.
One of the most important is that no person or unit may open a newspaper or periodical without permission.
At present, apart from the Tang Weekly and the Guozi Journal, they are not ready to open any other newspapers.
Let the two newspapers run for a while to see what problems arise, and further improve the laws and regulations based on the problems, and then decide whether to issue more licenses.
Back to Rights and Responsibilities.
For fear of causing unnecessary confusion, Wen Yi did not directly send the book to the people. Instead, he waited until the completion of his group of students in Guozijian to do so.
Distribute books for free and ensure that every household has at least one copy.
Then this group of students from Guozijian went to various places to give lectures and explain the content of the book to everyone to ensure that it would not be misinterpreted and used by people with intentions.
With the help of newspapers, the promotion work is progressing very smoothly.
The Wei Wei Division was not idle, and all of them went out to monitor the place to see if anyone was reading crooked books.
