Chapter 25: Publishing a Book [II]
In a moral society, the power of morality is supreme. At the beginning, Wang Mang had enough moral prestige to successfully achieve the Han dynasty through peaceful evolution. The power of morality is evident. If it weren't for Wang Mang's obsessive mind, if he wanted to build an ideal country according to "Zhou Li", he might not fail.
It's all gossip.
However, it is certain that Zhang Han has this reputation, which will be of great benefit to the future.
In mid-November, the second volume of "Zhang's Son's Stories of His Mother" was published. This time, Zhang Wang's printed a thousand copies, barely enough to meet the demand—only those who were connected to the Zhang family.
The second volume of the "Collection of Stories" was not in Zhang Wang's plan. In the Great Han Kingdom, the cost of printing books was very expensive. Engraving printing only makes the impossible possible, the price is slightly lower, but it is still very expensive. Moreover, Zhang Wang's family has no intention of establishing Zhang Han as the king of stories - that is not a good image.
However, when things came to this point, they couldn't help Zhang Wang's family. Since it is to make Zhang Han famous, he must be perfect. At that time, some people made doubtful voices, whether it was her or Zhang Zhao, it was impossible to stop and give people the truth. So, there is this second volume.
This time, in order to make Zhang Han famous, the Zhang family spent a lot of money.
Papermaking is the first technology provided by Tianshu, and according to Zhang Han, it is very simple. The mechanical method is to break up and grind the fiber, and the chemical method is to cook lime and plant ash to make pulp, wash, bleach, add materials, add glue, make paper, dry, calender, and then make paper.
Zhangjia Papermaking Workshop started from scratch, and after years of research bit by bit, it has an in-depth understanding of the process. The quality of the paper is better in the cooking method, and the hydraulic stone mill can be used in the mechanical method, which is cheaper and has its own advantages.
According to the spirit of Tianshu's experimentation, the craftsmen stumbled upon the fact that calcined pyrite and alum oil were added at the same time when steaming, and the effect would be better. Zhang Han speculated that sulfites should have been formed.
When calendering, the Zhang family still uses manpower, spreads the eight-point dry paper on a very smooth stone slab, pushes the polished same smooth granite stone roller, and rolls it several times, and the paper will be much smoother.
No matter how simple it is, the Zhang family is now able to produce ski-white white paper, which is no less quality than Zuobo paper, and the quality of some elaborate paper is still on it, and the cost is not high.
But in this way, the Zhang family's expenses this time are still as high as six or seven million dollars.
Engraving printing has taken many detours from a few hundred words on paper to the actual printing of a book. Zhang Wang's family used hundreds of slaves, consumed countless amounts of paper, ink, and wood, and was busy for most of the year.
If you use this money to buy filial piety, ten or eight filial piety will be bought. But Zhang Zhao wants fame. Zhang Han thinks that this is a bit stupid, everyone knows that the Zhang family in Wuxian County has sent money to Zhang Rang. But living in Dahan for more than ten years, Zhang Han also has to admit that people at the time recognized this, which is good for his future - a good reputation will follow him for a lifetime, which can be described as a lifelong benefit, and no matter how big the cost is, it is worth it.
In other words, Zhang Han appeared in front of people as a filial son, not a child of the Zhang family who colluded with the eunuchs, and he was recognized as one of them by the scholars. This starting point is a hundred times stronger than the latter.
Besides, all aspects of engraving printing have been familiar in the first printing, and it is enough to reprint the second volume of "Zhang's Son and Mother Stories", and it will cost more than one million yuan at most.
In Zhang Zhao's words, "A lot of money has been spent, and it's not a little bit of money."
In the second volume of "Stories", Zhang Han personally went out and wrote a poem.
Zhang Han wrote this article for a month. He hopes that his writing will move the heartstrings and move the audience, but he also hopes that the writing will be plain and not too sensational.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Han brought the entire book of "Zhang's Son and Mother Story Collection" compiled and written by Zhang Wang's family to Bian Nanzhuang, and whenever he had leisure every day, he couldn't release the volume.
It can be seen that Zhang Wang's has put a lot of thought into it, and Juanxiu's small characters are neat, without a trace of scribbling. Zhang Han read and read, and then cried. Since the age of three, Zhang Han has begun to practice calligraphy, and he knows the hard work very well. These 680,000-word scrolls are unheard of, not to mention embellishment and writing, even if they are copied once, it is impossible to complete them without a year and a half. The hard work that Zhang Wang spent on it can be imagined.
Under the agitation of the mood, Zhang Han waved the three hundred and seventeen words. After finishing it, Zhang Han read it three times, and felt that not a single word could be changed, whether it was the article or the handwriting, it was the highest achievement in his life. When Cen Hui saw it, he also praised him for his great progress, which can barely be regarded as a famous article.
In Bali, Zhang Han recalled his feelings about telling his mother a story, and also described his shock when he saw this book. He wrote very directly that this book is Zhang Wang's work, and if it were not for Zhang Wang's revision and writing, the children's nonsense would be just some crude and simple stories, which would never be written and would not be worth reading.
Mother Zhang Wang's named it "Zhang's Son Entertainment Mother's Story Collection", and the mother's heart was beyond the refusal of the Son of Man, so Zhang Han was ashamed. With such a book, Zhang Han hoped to make it available to the world, so he thought hard for seven days, and finally was inspired by the seal and invented engraving printing.
All in all, Zhang Han made a big article about the filial piety of a mother and son.
Immediately, the world fell silent.
Zhang Han's posture is very low, and most people believe it. Even if there are doubters, they will never dare to speak out. The mother and son are filial, you are suspicious and suspicious. Whether the other party is a gentleman's heart remains to be confirmed; Your villain's heart has been revealed to the world.
Several pieces of information revealed in the trek are very noteworthy.
The story was dictated by Zhang Han and written by Zhang Wang, which is enough to explain most of the doubts. Moreover, the story can be fake, the article can be fake, but this word can't be fake. Otherwise, it will be easy to be noticed in future interactions with people, and no one will do such a stupid thing.
Engraving printing has an advantage, that is, what the words are written, what the carved version is, and what the book is printed out. No matter how biased people are, they have to admit that Zhang Han has written a good hand.
Since the advent of the Book of Heaven, Zhang Han has been able to practice Xingshu openly. After practicing over the years, Zhang Han has further improved his calligraphy, showing subtlety and subtlety, graceful and beautiful, round and dignified, beautiful and healthy, and rigorous. can be described as a unique step, and people thought that it was still above Liu Desheng in Yingchuan. In other words, Zhang Han is also a calligrapher.
Reading and learning words, the two are almost inseparable. Zhang Han's handwriting is good, and others naturally think that his knowledge is good. What's more, there is also a trek as proof.
Zhang Han said in the baal, "Don't dare to be greedy for heavenly merit for your own own" - in fact, he was shouting that engraving printing is my invention - and finally attached engraving printing, which shows his broad mind and good character of treating money as dung.
This is extremely simple, developed from the seal seal, and once the two volumes are published, there is no way to keep it secret. Zhang Han simply made it public, thinking that he was famous. Of course, the Chinese language is concise and written like a book from heaven, but few people will be more serious and really care about these flaws.
In the first year of Xiping (172), Zhang Han was promoted as filial piety by the state of Lu.
Zhang Han was very happy, but he said that he was shallow and had a lot to learn, so he humbly declined. As a result, Zhang Han's reputation became even louder.
With the spread of engraving printing, Zhang Han's reputation spread all over the country, not only in the state and county, but also in Luoyang.
PS: Don't wait at night, after a while, I'll send the outside story again, and I'll finish the content that is already on the Internet. From tomorrow, there will still be one chapter per day, divided into two updates at noon and in the evening. These days, I'm really sorry to trouble you to read the beginning twice. Wait for the new book list, it will definitely explode again.
However, there is no hope before the 14th. The number of words in each chapter is about 5,000, and the average is definitely more than 5,000, and at present, in addition to the external transmission, I have also passed 140,000 words. Therefore, by the 14th, I can still pass chapters 11~12. Today is the 4th, and there are 10 days left, and everyone knows at a glance that there is basically no surplus wealth left.
In the end, I still have to vote, and with your support, let me stay on the rookie list.
In addition, there is a lot of essence this week, I will open a fine building tomorrow, you need it, just come in and leave a footprint! Note that each person only has two feet, so don't have more than two footprints.
