Chapter 172: The promotion of punctuation, "Nature and Science" is all the rage!
The next day, the morning ......
The three princes and nine secretaries reported on government affairs as usual, and several Lang officials and doctors, who had been specially gracious, attended the meeting with excitement as their entourage.
The First Emperor's daily comments and inquiries......
After everything was over, Zhao Si started a book promotion at the highest meeting of the Great Qin Empire.
"Recently, the scholars over there of the craftsman bureau have written a book, called "Science and Nature", I have read some solitary, what kind of science is it talking about, it is simple and easy to understand, quite novel, the reason of all things in heaven and earth, and the knowledge of things, and also used a novel way of breaking sentences, and some of them were printed alone, and Zhuqing can take a look at them to make comments." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.
The palace people on the side came up with the book in their hands, and everyone handed them over.
Hearing this, the ministers took the book and began to flip through it......
After all, it was His Royal Highness Taisun who personally opened his mouth to sell, no matter whether he was interested or not, he had to pretend to be interested, even if he didn't want to see it, he had to watch it, otherwise wouldn't it be a problem to comment on whether the bull's head was wrong or not?
Of course, this is a book of nearly 100,000 words of "sentences", limited by the factors of the times, the number of words in the books of this era is generally less, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is more than 5,000 words, the number of words can be called a long article, 100,000 words, only from the number of words, of course, it can be regarded as a masterpiece.
Sangong Jiuqing is not an idler, and he still has affairs on his body, so it is naturally impossible to read it on the spot.
Therefore, he only looked at it hastily, and after about two moments, Li Sidang spoke first.
"Although the wording is a little shoddy, but it is better to be simple and easy to understand, not to stay on the surface of things, and to pursue the truth behind it to prove the truth, the method of breaking the sentence is also quite novel and practical, so that you don't have to worry about breaking the wrong sentence, meaning the wrong meaning to produce misunderstanding, and the previous article is indeed very different, there is a different taste, but the number of words in this article is slightly more, so for a while, the minister is not good to comment in detail."
Zhao Si smiled and nodded.
It is worthy of Li Si, to give face......
In fact, in terms of the choice of words and sentences, the so-called "Science and Nature" is really too many books of this era.
Simple, easy-to-understand vernacular means that the writing is not concise enough, and the language is too poor, and this way of writing has to be said to be a challenge for this era.
Li Si is the third duke, and if he personally speaks the scene, the rest of the people will naturally not be without eyesight.
It is said that the sky is just a book, and His Royal Highness Taisun thinks it is interesting, then it is interesting, and he will praise it casually, and it will not affect the government.
Feng Quji followed closely and praised him.
After that, Jiuqing also followed closely to express his opinion.
This was followed by a group of Dr. Lang officials......
Because of Li Si and Feng Quji, the overall comments are mostly praised, a small number of people are neutral and ambiguous, and there are also a few who are critical.
"The rest of the science, I don't know much, so I won't comment on it, but the characters used in this sentence break are quite useful in my opinion, so that I don't have to worry about the unfavorable communication between the upper and lower levels, and it is difficult to figure out the mind above the text, I plan to implement this method of sentence breaking before the officials, and even implement it in the hundreds of schools of thought, students all over the world, why do you think?" The First Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Li Si was the first to speak!
Of course, Li Si agrees with this!
The hyphenation of characters is of course beneficial to effective communication between officials and subordinates.
Li Si, as the head of the hundred officials, naturally raised his hands in approval.
Taboo Mo Shen has been the prerogative of the emperor since ancient times, and the first emperor felt that he could, but of course he Li Si could not oppose it, so that it would only be more convenient to hold him accountable.
Approval is not a big deal, opposition is a problem in the heart, so the three princes and nine ministers raised their hands in favor.
In fact, at this point for them, of course, they hope that the communication between the upper and lower levels will be more effective.
As for the First Emperor, they also hope that the supreme instructions issued by the First Emperor can be more clearly distinguished.
Therefore, as the leaders of various departments, they naturally hope to be able to control the subordinate officials of their departments more forcefully, so as to strengthen their own power.
Unanimous vote......
The implementation of the Zhuzi Hundred Schools of Scholars in the world will have to be slowed down for the time being, but the administrative department of Daqin can foresee that it will fully master the application of character breaks.
Because of the strong communication of the Daqin administrative department, Zhao Si estimated that it would not be long before modern punctuation marks would be quickly circulated and applied.
As a necessary knowledge and skill for officialdom, the hundreds of schools of thought will also adapt spontaneously.
Learn the art of literature and martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family......
In this era, most people still learn to be officials, since they want to be officials, it is impossible not to master this skill, Zhao Si did not block this skill, and even deliberately promoted it, and it is not too difficult, there is no reason not to learn.
Therefore, driven by the upper echelons, it will not take long for it to circulate and apply among students all over the world.
"Zhuqing still has affairs in his body, and it is not good to delay the government alone, these books should be given to Zhuqing as a gift, if Zhuqing finds it interesting, you can read it as a pastime in your spare time." Zhao Si smiled and signaled to leave, and then said goodbye to the First Emperor and came to the craftsman bureau with a belly of ideas.
"Your Highness, wouldn't it be good to publicize it like this?"
After Zhao Si finished talking about his propaganda idea, a group of scientific researchers were skeptical and carefully expressed their opinions.
What (Your Majesty said yes when he saw it, and he actually used the law in it to the court officials to promote the world!) (Right Prime Minister Li Si was shocked after reading it, saying that it is simple and easy to understand, unique, and contains truth, which is very different from the previous articles of the hundred schools of thought!) (Eight-year-old children can learn the truth when they see it)
This kind of propaganda is a little too advanced for this era.
The most important thing is that this is the name of the first emperor and the name of the three princes and nine kings.
This is the actual controller of the Great Qin Empire, and as a member of the administrative editor, they still have a deep awe in their hearts.
"What are you afraid of? It's not a lie! Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.
"Although the lonely officials can call the shots, and the lonely hand is implemented in the hands of the court officials, but out of the court, the lonely can not be the master, and if it is not so promoted, how to open sales?
Besides, even if there is a problem, it is a lonely idea, who doesn't know that the craftsman bureau is an organization brought out by a lonely hand?
Could it be that Li Xiang will still find Lone to be held accountable?
Besides, don't you want to sell more? Zhao Si asked with a smile.
No matter how you say it, this is also a book!
How could it not be wanted? You know, they're all people who leave their names on it.
Most of the bigwigs don't look down on this kind of writing, and they may not even be able to read it even if they ask them to sign it.
But...... What is this group of craftsmen?
Academically, there are more people who have been hanged from them, the Mo family is originally thought, not skills, if it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Si, they would not be ranked in the Mo family in terms of status.
Traffic is good and bad!
Naturally, those who are haunted by gold and jade do not look down on garbage traffic.
But for ordinary people, no matter by any means, as long as it is popular, it is enough.
Zhao Si, who has experienced the explosion of information, knows very well what traffic means, and after becoming famous, Tie Tie will no longer be giao, and he will begin to reason with you.
In terms of the academic environment, in this era, science is at a great disadvantage after all, even with the help of Zhao Si.
If there is no external pressure, it is likely that those in power do not care about the so-called sea of stars of scientific progress.
For them, if they can live in peace for a long time, they would rather die on the throne.
Therefore, this can only be used to cultivate a piece of soil for the birth of science and accelerate their growth.
As long as the base is large enough, it will definitely gain enough fans.
That's enough!
After a heated discussion, the Craftsman Bureau finally approved Zhao Si's propaganda method.
"What about pricing? What are you going to do? ”
"Just make even the ends of the equation...... said clumsily.
"Sell as much as you can, and you can do it without making money, that's what everyone means."
Zhao Si smiled and nodded: "It's also the meaning of loneliness." ”
Therefore, after unanimous deliberation and decision, the final price was set at the price of five thousand and a half taels.
Yes, five thousand Qin and a half tael!
A book!
Expensive! It's expensive!
However, compared to the average price of books in this era, it is almost equivalent to giving away for free.
This is the case, knowledge has always been expensive, especially in the Qin Dynasty, which was still in the blockade of knowledge, a book, a classic, or even a family heirloom!
The reason why the pricing of the craftsman bureau is so low is because the craftsman bureau does not earn a penny, is responsible for its own profits and losses, and generates electricity for love.
At the same time, as the R&D department of Daqin, the Craftsman Bureau has also mastered the most advanced papermaking technology and printing technology of Daqin.
Only under the combination of the two can the low price of five thousand and a half taels be determined.
Five-run money is not cheap, but it is obvious that literacy is not something that the general class can deal with, for this part of the intellectuals, five times money, buying a book that has not been read, even if it is the Spring Palace, is not a loss.
Therefore, with the strong support of the scholars of the Craftsman Bureau who wrote books and praised the world, they were driven by fame to work overtime to rush to print.
Because the first emperor required the court officials to master the sentence breaking characters, so the initial production and printing will be made Shaofu also participated, mainly for the printing of the hundred officials, as for the engraving of course provided by the craftsman bureau.
With the support of the country's largest industrial sector, the Shaofu, almost every official in Xianyang had a copy in a month, and it became popular in Xianyang in an instant.
Soon government workers such as officials also began to buy, because "Science and Nature" is not a forbidden knowledge, on the contrary, there is Zhao Si's strong support, and the engraving is also ready-made.
Therefore, it will be sold at a price of 30 guan after the end of the supply of the court officials as a young government.
And then......
was smashed by the craftsman's game......
The craftsmanship bureau is technologically advanced, but the output is certainly not as good as that of the shosaku Shaofu, but the price is too low......
Five thousand dollars!
Even if it is a small profit but quick turnover, even if it is a small government because the production cost of clustering is greatly reduced, there is not much profit.
Therefore, the shosaku Shaofu soon announced the cessation of sales, and expressed a serious condemnation of the craftsman's bureau.
Playing with a hammer, the craftsman bureau will run to make no money......
In fact, from the beginning, Zhao Si did not plan to go to the high-end market.
Five dollars and thirty dollars, the gap is really too big!
Because of the price gap, sales will naturally open up a lot.
And Zhao Si, what he wants is just pure sales!
This is propaganda, not business!
Because of the low-price sales and the explosive promotional terms provided by Zhao Si, "Science and Nature" set off a storm and discussion in Guanzhong.
Because of the use of vernacular characters with broken sentences, it is easy to read and understandable, and it is not as inscrutable as traditional texts, so anyone who is literate can participate in this discussion.
In addition, because the price is low enough and the reason why there are enough people to get it, it is not a precious thing, so there is naturally no shortage of people who copy and borrow it.
Top articles like "Analects" and "Five Worms" belong to academic papers, and they are not top-level friendships, so they naturally refuse to borrow them.
However, "Science and Nature" is, to put it bluntly, a miscellaneous book, and it is really cheap, so I am willing to borrow it even if I have a little friendship.
As a result, the spread has once again been greatly improved.
Of course, this has also led to a rapid decline in word-of-mouth......
After all, the face is the low-end market, and poor reputation is a matter of course.
However, because it does not involve academic disputes, nor does it involve any court affairs, although it is regarded as a miscellaneous book, it is better to understand and have something to say, and everyone has curiosity.
As a result, a copy of the small experiments described in Science and Nature was soon set off.
"There really is a reflection!" Some students exclaimed!
"Iridescent! It can really be reproduced by manpower to create iridescent! ”
"With this pulley, it really saves effort, if it can be used in the construction of the city, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"
This is a bit of a trivia science......
It's really not a lofty thing for the readers of this era, but it is a trend.
A trend of novelty exploration......
Of course, there are naturally some people who really have the idea of investigating the truth behind things because of this.
A scholar was observing Science and Nature under a tree, writing and drawing on the ground, using the knowledge in the book to calculate the area of his own field.
With a thud, a loquat landed on his head, causing him to let out a cry of pain.
He picked up the loquat depressedly, gritted his teeth and put it in his mouth, then looked up at the fruit on the tree, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Loquat, why did it fall from the tree?"
This is just a simple microcosm, he is naturally not Newton, but it is undeniable that there are many people who have developed a desire to learn about everything in the world.
The more I know, the more questions I have in my heart.
Why?
It's not about chasing fame and fortune, it's not for the sake of the world, it's just for the curiosity and truth in your heart!
The most intuitive manifestation is that the level of inquiries and discussions about the craftsman's bureau has been increasing, and many scholars have shown their willingness to join the craftsman's bureau.
And this is what Zhao Si wants to see!
