Chapter 209: Printing

Hu Changan's words naturally have his reasons.

After all, physical chemistry is not like a traditional liberal arts.

If you can't make a clear sentence when writing an article and understand the meaning of the article wrongly, it's okay to say.

Anyway, things like literature are very subjective in themselves.

But if you misunderstand the formula while reading a physics book, it will be terrible.

Misunderstand the laws of Newtonian mechanics?

Then the whole physics book in the back can be directly ignored.

However, when these words fell on Zhang Ping's ears, they seemed less friendly.

Looking at Hu Changan, Zhang Ping said dissatisfiedly: "What, can you be sloppy by studying the Four Books and Five Classics?" ”

"There are no broken sentences in even the Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't need to mark broken sentences in your book, Hu Shilang."

"Besides, even if the sentence is not broken, aren't the students all over the world still studying the Four Books and the Five Classics?"

"I don't think they're all pretty good at learning?"

When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled helplessly.

As soon as Hu Changan saw Zhang Ping, he knew that he was a pure reader.

In the eyes of Ming readers, the status of the Four Books and the Five Classics is absolutely above all else.

In this regard, Hu Changan didn't want to bother to talk more.

It is absolutely impossible to reverse a person's ingrained beliefs in a short period of time.

However, on the matter of breaking the sentence, Hu Changan has something to say: "Zhang Shilang, what you said is not right." ”

"If there is no sentence break, it will definitely create ambiguity."

"If there can be less ambiguity, let's be a little less ambiguous."

When Zhang Ping heard this, he was even more unhappy: "Hu Shilang, I have read books for so many years, and I have never encountered ambiguity!" ”

"Since ancient times, I've never seen anyone mark a broken sentence in a book."

"Hu Shilang, you are so polite!"

However, when Hu Changan heard this, he smiled: "Since Zhang Shilang, you said that ambiguity is not a problem, then I will send you a couplet." ”

As he spoke, Hu Changan took the banknote, thought about it for a while, and then took up his pen and wrote a couplet: Tomorrow is not bad luck in spring; There is little surplus wealth throughout the year.

It's early spring, and this couplet is just right.

When Zhang Shilang saw it, he was so angry: "Hu Shilang, even if we don't agree, you can't curse me like this!" ”

"Why, I'm just giving my opinion normally, and you curse me for being unlucky, and wish me no money today?"

However, when Hu Changan heard this, he smiled slightly: "Master Zhang, will you read it carefully?" ”

"I'm obviously complimenting you!"

When Zhang Ping heard this, he became even more depressed: "Hu Shilang, it's too outrageous for you to tell a lie." ”

"That's it? Still complimenting me? Anyway, the old man can't see it. ”

Seeing this, Hu Changan smiled and said loudly: "Zhang Shilang, since you don't believe it, then I'll help you read this couplet." ”

"Tomorrow is a good spring, not unlucky; There is little bad luck all year round, and there is surplus wealth. ”

"Why, am I not bless you?"

When Zhang Ping heard this, he was also stunned.

Look at this couplet again, good fellow, you can really read it like that!

Looking at Zhang Ping's stunned appearance, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Shilang, you have seen ambiguity now." ”

At this time, Zhang Ping directly made a big red face.

Just now, he was still swearing that he had not seen the ambiguity caused by the broken sentence, but Hu Changan's backhand was an ambiguous couplet, and Zhang Ping, who was directly choked, was speechless.

Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally snorted and said, "Since this is the case, then Hu Shilang can add a broken sentence if you want to." ”

"But Hu Shilang, I'll tell you first, if you add this sentence, it will be very troublesome when printing books."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled and nodded.

This kind of thing, he naturally knows.

However, Hu Changan didn't think that this little problem would affect him.

Seeing that Hu Changan nodded to indicate that he understood, Zhang Ping didn't say anything more.

But then, Zhang Ping had a new question: "Hu Shilang, I don't know where the gentleman of this academy should go?" ”

"These are two completely new subjects, and I don't think anyone in Yingtian City can teach these two subjects."

When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll give a lecture to the craftsmen at the beginning." ”

"After all, I compiled this book myself, and in terms of familiarity, I am definitely the most familiar with this book."

"Once I've taught the first batch of students, they'll be able to be other people's teachers."

When Zhang Ping heard this, he also nodded.

That's a good idea.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the lack of teachers in the academy!

Since the discussion was almost over, Zhang Ping also took the first step and went back to the Ministry of Rites.

It seems that there is nothing to do with Zhang Ping for the time being.

Next, I waited for Hu Changan to print the textbooks and train the first batch of students.

Hu Changan's first step was to publish textbooks.

After all, if there are no textbooks, then what books are taught?

So the next day, Hu Changan came to the printing room of the Ministry of Rites on time.

At this time, the printing room was crowded.

Workers are sweating and printing book after book, and it looks very lively.

When the steward of the printing room saw Hu Changan, he also greeted him as soon as possible: "Hu Shilang, I heard that you are coming to print two books, right?" ”

"We've got five craftsmen in our printing room for you."

As he spoke, the steward diligently led Hu Changan towards a corner of the printing room.

Yesterday, Zhang Ping had already explained that the steward Hu Changan would come.

Since the boss has explained first, the steward has naturally completed the matter a long time ago.

These five craftsmen are all very old craftsmen in the printing house.

The steward believed that these five craftsmen would definitely be able to meet Hu Changan's printing needs.

After walking around a corner, Hu Changan saw the five people who were waiting for him.

When the five of them saw Hu Changan, they hurriedly saluted Hu Changan.

And Hu Changan also nodded slightly, indicating that he returned the courtesy.

After a simple hello, Hu Changan took out the physics books and chemistry books, and said to the craftsmen: "These two books, can you help me print them?" ”

"The first batch of 100 copies should be printed first."

One of the craftsmen also took the two books handed by Hu Changan and read them carefully.

At this sight, the craftsmen were stunned.

They've never seen such a strange typography yet!

However, Hu Changan is an official after all, and they are not easy to say.

After reading it for a long time, the craftsman at the head gave Hu Changan a more conservative statement: "My lord, if you want to print it in strict accordance with the layout of the two books you gave us, it will take about half a year to print a hundred books." ”
