Why can the "New Youth" do what the "National" magazine can do, in fact, the problem is very simple, that is, the Commercial Press has a request for the Academy of Sciences, unlike Qian Xuantong and them.

At that time, as the vanguard of the New Culture Movement, the Commercial Press naturally had as little contact with it as possible out of the need to avoid risks.

Historically, "Peking University Monthly" also used Chinese characters horizontally before "New Youth", and because the two were strong cooperation, the originally difficult things seemed to be easy.

The next time, Nuo rushed to the Commercial Press to find Zhang Yuanji, and as soon as he put down his words, he was immediately welcomed.

"Brother Zhiyuan, I'm old today, if you don't dislike it, call me brother, what Manager Zhang is too outward, there is no need for such a difference between our brothers, you say?" As he spoke, Zhang Yuanji took Cheng Nuo's hand and didn't let go, the enthusiasm in his eyes made him a big man unbearable.

"Zhang Jing...... Hey, Brother Zhang, I'll ask my brother a lot." Cheng Nuo quietly withdrew his hand, he originally wanted to call Manager Zhang, but when he saw the other party frowning, he quickly changed his words: "Our cooperation is still long, sit down and talk slowly."

"That's right." Zhang Yuanji's eyebrows relaxed, and his chin became smaller when he laughed: "Man, go cut a few catties of mutton, call two more pots, beat two catties of burning knives, and drink belly fat with my little brother at noon today."

Sure enough, the vast majority of business in China has to be signed at the dinner table.

Unable to resist the enthusiasm, the two sat down in the backyard of the Commercial Press, and finalized the details of the cooperation between the cups and lamps.

Cheng Nuo had a long memory this time, and made up some cold dishes before drinking, so as not to hurt his stomach when drinking: "Brother Zhang, it stands to reason that the horizontal arrangement of reading materials is against the direction of many readers, why did our Commercial Press agree so simply this time?"

Zhang Yuanji poured slices of meat into the pot and said, "Brother, don't you know, although in the domestic market share, publishing accounts for six-tenths and printing accounts for three-tenths, but there are also wolves around, and it is easy to fight the country."

The so-called small boat is good to turn around, and the big boat is good to top the waves. It always needs to face the commercial competition of Chinese and foreign publishing and printing institutions such as Zhonghua and Yin Wensi, and it must respond to the changes of the times and judge possible business opportunities in advance in order to remain invincible for a long time

During his tenure at the helm of the Commercial Press, Zhang Yuanji's business philosophy has always been steady, which is to strike a balance between profit and inheritance and innovation culture, while avoiding possible risks, especially political risks. Because of this, large publishing institutions such as Commerce and China did not perform as well as small publishing houses such as Oriental Oriental Library and Qunyi Publishing House in the New Culture Movement.

Cheng Nuozhi nodded and said, "But at present, the Vernacular Literary Movement, our Commercial Press cannot turn a blind eye to this aspect, otherwise we will hand over the future market to others in vain, and it may be too late to save it at that time."

Zhang Yuanji put down the plate and said with a smile: "Isn't this pulling you brother, can you please write an article in the "Oriental Magazine" founded by us, the content is free to play, the form is mainly vernacular, and the manuscript fee is absolutely generous." ….

Cheng Nuo couldn't be busy with his own work, so how could he have time to help other magazines write articles, so he excused himself and said: "The way of arithmetic is too boring and does not conform to the purpose of "Oriental Magazine", so I won't add to the chaos. But Brother Zhang, whether it's "National" magazine or "New Youth", I just want to hand it over to our bookstore for publication and distribution, and the basic magazines will be printed horizontally, which will save a lot of worry in printing and share the pressure on the social level."

"The Nation magazine is okay, but the New Youth is inappropriate...... Zhang Yuanji hesitated, his glasses were fogged by the steam, and he couldn't see his true thoughts clearly.

Textbooks as a lucrative field, is the publishing house must fight, Cheng Nuo knew that the other party was waiting for his own cards, said with a smile: "The academic community needs higher books, that is, on the one hand, to improve business, on the other hand, to contact the academic community, a few days ago the book "Theory of Class Domains" Brother Zhang has seen our strength, the future is bound to spread to many colleges and universities, the market is vast, and this is just a textbook, we will provide more different types in the future

Textbooks for the same subject."

"Oh, in fact, my brother I have wanted to do this for a long time, the use of horizontal layout can not only improve the utilization rate of paper, but also reduce the financial burden of readers." Zhang Yuanji immediately raised his eyebrows, and used a fast son to pluck the meat in the stove: "Come on, come on, eat quickly, and wait until the mutton is old."

............

After settling down the magazines of the Academy of Sciences and the "New Youth", Zhang Yuanji took him to visit the Commercial Press in detail, and finalized the specific details of the horizontal arrangement.

It was not until January 1, 1956 that the second-rate newspaper hand-picked by the great man was changed from vertical to horizontal publishing, and the decades-long controversy over horizontal and vertical layout came to an end and ended with the full implementation of horizontal arrangement.

After getting the news that "New Youth" could be revised, the entire editorial room was shocked.

Mr. Chen was very happy, waved his hand and said: "Originally, it was planned to change from the first volume to rampant, but because there were many difficult negotiations in printing, so it could not be changed for a while, and I always wanted to solve it as soon as possible, but I never thought that Zhiyuan helped us solve this problem.

Qian Xuantong was a little curious: "Before, the Commercial Press couldn't splash water and needles couldn't penetrate, but I didn't expect that as soon as Zhiyuan came out, the problem would be solved so easily, tell me how you solved it?"

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Only Mr. De will not let go of the other party's death, but he doesn't know that our "National" magazine has Mr. Sai out of the horse, and with the spirit of science and scientific methods, they are naturally softened."

Mr. Li held a teacup, blew on the surface of the water, and took a sip carefully: "Zhiyuan is doing the right thing, I talked to Zhongfu before, the concept of Mr. De and Mr. Sai should not only stay in us, we should find an opportunity to promote it at the right time, and give him a bright stab of the dark fog that covers the public's head, so that the world can take a good look at what kind of day it is."

Lu Xun silently looked at the golden stone tablet in his hand, and his voice was slightly low: "If there are many sleeping people in this fog, they will soon be suffocated to death. However, from slumber to death, they have no idea of the sorrow of dying, and now we want to shout twice the so-called Mr. De and Mr. Sai to wake up these more sober people. But this unfortunate few, who have to endure this boundless darkness, who have no direction and no future, think that you are worthy of them?" ….

At this time, although Lu Xun has been exercising since the Spring Games of Peking University and his figure is not so thin, he is still shrouded in a layer of decadence, refusing all the requests of "New Youth".

Qian Xuantong couldn't see his friend become like this, so he snatched the golden stone tablet in his hand and put it aside, and said in a loud voice: "If we shout a few times and can wake up those people, I must not say that he has no hope of dispelling this fog!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xun was like a slap in the face, and the loose Tong Kong gradually aligned, and a different kind of brilliance began to appear in his eyes.

Cheng Nuo helped at the right time, and then said: "Our new cultural movement can not only destroy feudal idols, destroy decadent ideas and abandon aristocratic literature, but also break down on this foundation, with our magazine as the ship, Mr. De as the rudder, and Mr. Sai as the compass, even if it is a thick fog, we can dispel it and usher in a new blue sky."

Mr. Li said, "There is a specialization in the art industry, and it just so happens that Mr. Tak is promoted by New Youth and Mr. Sai is promoted by The National, and the two-pronged approach must have miraculous results, so there is no need to be so pessimistic in the study of knowledge in an introspective and practical way."

As a matter of fact, the publication and discussion of Mr. De and Mr. Sai did not appear until two years later, in 1919, in the "Reply to the Crime of Benzhi", and now the focus of the magazine's speech is still the literary revolution, and everyone's understanding of the concepts of De and Sai is still relatively rudimentary, and it seems that there is even a bit of antagonism.

Faced with this somewhat distorted historical situation, Cheng Nuo hurriedly came forward and said: "All those who use natural science methods to study and explain are considered sciences, and all studies and explanations should strictly abide by scientific methods.

For example, Brother Yu Cai's research on the golden stone inscription naturally requires a certain scientific basis."

"Science has two meanings, the narrow sense refers only to the natural sciences, that is, what the National magazine is doing, and the broad sense of science refers to scientific theories, scientific methods and scientific processes, and social sciences are also scientific ......."

Quoting scriptures and classics, and even making fun of the people around them, everyone present understood the connotation of Mr. De and Mr. Sai, and they have virtually become one of the backbones of the New Culture Movement.

When it was over, Mr. Chen said enthusiastically: "Zhiyuan, these words of yours make me wait for Daigo to be initiated, so that our movement has a complete conscious awareness, you see that this will work, you can sort out your set of theories, and when the time comes, it will be published together with the new edition of the horizontal magazine, and put it on the front page."

Without waiting for Cheng Nuo to refuse, he took Lu Xun's hand and said, "Yucai, as the leader of our new culture, you can't hide it anymore, how about it, do you want to fight with Zhiyuan, I just saw that he was very happy to laugh at you just now."

A smile appeared on Lu Xun's face: "I have seen two words from these histories - cannibalism, and I have seen two words from everyone - hope, Zhiyuan's words have also benefited me a lot, and I will go back tonight to go out and make a good world."

Mr. Chen looked around and laughed heartily: "Okay, then I'll warm the withered wine for everyone in advance, so that we can win!"

Today, a new edition of "New Youth" printed and distributed by the Commercial Press was published, causing a strong sensation in society. ….

Mr. Chen specially noted: "From today onwards, we now believe that only these two gentlemen can cure all the political, moral, academic and ideological darkness in China, and they are Mr. De and Mr. Sai."

Lu Xun expressed his support: "There is a group of people who are good at telling nonsense now who hate science the most, because science can teach people to understand the truth, and can teach people to think clearly and not to fool around, so they naturally become the opponent of those who tell nonsense."

An article entitled "On Dee" by the pen name Jerry further extended and systematically introduced the concepts of the two, and spread to all the progressives in the north and south of the country, setting off a great wave in the ideological circles.

In Yinxian County, Zhejiang, in a village-run private school, a fifteen-year-old boy surnamed "Little Mister" was sitting on the steps holding a new version of "New Youth" and watched it selflessly.

The elder brother was puzzled: "Seventh, the private school left by our father is supported by a few of our brothers, don't you be a good gentleman, is it useful to read these miscellaneous books?"

Mr. Tong reluctantly put away the magazines, these were bought by him on foot, just to see the outside world, which brother can persuade in three or two sentences, scratched his head and smiled: "Big brother, I think what those books say makes sense, and we have to pay attention to science in teaching."

"What science is not scientific, strict teachers produce high apprentices, and the precept ruler is the science of our private school." The elder brother didn't care.

It's just that Mr. Sai's seed has been buried in the heart of Mr. Tong, just waiting to take root and sprout.

In Chenzhou, Hunan, he was also a fifteen-year-old boy, a man surnamed Shen with a primary school education, whose family was poor and had to join the army and garrison the local area, was looking at the new propaganda ideas of those college students with envy.

Hearing Xingzhi, he couldn't help but ask, "This young lady, may I ask what Mr. De and Mr. Sai you are talking about, can you tell me about yourself?"

The girlfriend who came with him saw that the person who was asking was a small hill eight, his body was in tatters, and he was carrying a clay gun that was taller than him, and when he got closer, he could notice a strange smell, so he wanted to pull the girl aside in disgust.

The girl was kind-hearted and said gently, "Mr. De refers to democracy, Mr. Sai is science, both are beautiful and worthy of our pursuit, I see that you are not older than us, and you will have to study more in the future to understand what they really mean."

The girlfriend covered her nose and frowned, "What you are doing now is to confront Mr. De."

After speaking, I want to pull the girl away, and the girl is kind-hearted after all, and put down the extra copy of "New Youth".

"Everything is on it, if you can't read, you can ask someone else to read it."

A smile makes the whole sunset dark.

But the boy didn't notice this, and after thanking him for it, he clung to the magazine, greedily sucking the fragrance of knowledge, and set his eyes on the place where the magazine was published.

"Beijing, Beijing!"

96.
