Chapter 124: Printed Books
In the Liangyi Palace, after Li Shen came in, Li Shimin was watching the recital. Li Shen didn't bother himself and found a place to sit down. After a quarter of an hour, Li Shimin said without raising his head: "I heard that you have to eat a person's heart every day now, how does it taste?"
"Aye, don't laugh. I've had nightmares for days. Li Shen said aggrievedly.
"Haha, there are also things that His Royal Highness King Ji is afraid of." Li Shimin raised his head and laughed. Li Shimin knew everything about Li Shen's house. Out of curiosity about this son, he planted eyeliner, in fact, Li Shen himself knew it, but he didn't have anything unpleasant.
Including the purchase of the corpse for Sun Simiao to do academic work this time. Li Shimin is also clear, but he just doesn't know what it is for.
"But your blatant actions will have an impact on your reputation, and it will also take a toll on the prestige of the royal family.
Now that the outside family has almost spread the whole thing to Datang, they really won't miss any opportunity to deal with you. Li Shimin continued to Li Shen
Li Shen didn't care, people are always curious about unknown things, and when they know about it in the future, they will naturally not pay so much attention to it.
"Aye, why don't you find something to change the subject."
"Change the subject? I don't know what topic you're going to find to change the subject. Li Shimin asked after hearing this
"Newspapers are going to start making money." Li Shen replied
"Make money? Are you talking about newspaper price increases? "What kind of topic is this.
"Of course not, and not only newspapers, I plan to print and sell all the books that can be used in the imperial examination from the Chongwen Museum, and the price is cheaper than the ones on the market.
They now cost a few dollars a book. It takes more than ten or twenty times for the whole book. I'm going to sell the whole book for just a few dollars.
Those with few words even always have a copy of money. I wonder if they will have time to promote cannibalism for me. Li Shen said indignantly
"Can it really be done?" Li Shimin immediately became excited
"It should be about the same. I'll go back and research. After a while, Aya approved a note, and I went to Chongwen Hall to take all the books away. Li Shen replied
"Okay, this thing is done, and I have a reward." Li Shimin was so happy that he immediately began to write a note
Li Shen didn't delay and went to Chongwen Hall with the note. He didn't know exactly what books to use for the imperial examination, so he went there and asked the person in charge to help him choose.
What are the nine classics of law and arithmetic, there are dozens of them in total. Li Shen smacked his tongue when he saw it, this can be a genius who can pass the exam, Li Shen took the book and went straight to the printing house.
After printing, the person in charge was called over to start researching, and finally the person in charge said, "Lord Wang, in fact, the most is these "Yi", "Book", "Poem", "Li", "Spring and Autumn", "Jixian Shenxun", "Analects", "Laozi", "Book of Filial Piety", and we can make a book at all, without dividing the volume. Our fonts are smaller than theirs.
As for what I just said, we can also make two volumes, the book may be a little thicker, but there should be no problem. Now the workers are skilled and efficient, the cost will not be much, and the cost on the paper side has also been reduced. ”
"Well, let's start doing it. Printing 10,000 copies of each kind, let the workers work overtime, and pay double the wages for overtime. I'm going to get all the books printed in a month. Print those more first, I'm in a hurry. Li Shen instructed
"Yes."
After Li Shen finished explaining, he went to look at paper production, and now the paper mill has expanded a lot, and the production efficiency is also rising.
However, if it is still not enough to supply the readers of the whole Datang, fortunately, there are not many readers now, and if there are more readers in the future, Li Shen will have to increase the investment in the factory.
Li Shen went to the barracks and the academy again, and these self-funded students now have tanned skin one by one, and they no longer have the oily hair and noodles they just came. At the beginning of the training, the basic movements were fine, but the standing posture tortured this group of gentlemen to death.
Where have they ever suffered such a sin, standing still for two quarters of an hour, sometimes for half an hour, isn't it fatal?
Even Yu Linwei's side is a little overwhelmed, and in addition to that, there is a queue to sort out housekeeping. I also have to recite military regulations, and these gentlemen want to die every day.
Li Shen went around the academy and went to Sun Simiao's other courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Sun Simiao coming out.
"Haha. Wang, we have made new progress in our research. We already know the exact location of the cecum you mentioned, and we already have some understanding of the appendicitis you mentioned."
"Oh. Do you know about appendicitis? Li Shen asked in surprise
"One of the several bodies that were sent in the other day had an ulcerated appendix. The symptoms of appendicitis are very similar to what you said, and we judge that it should be appendicitis.
And we've learned that the flesh is divided into four layers by autopsy, and we've compiled a record of how to remove the appendix. However, I don't know how to solve the problem of large wounds and slow healing. Sun Simiao said
"It's very simple, just sew it up." Li Shen replied lightly
"Sew it up?" Sun Simiao was surprised
"That's right, it's like a female red, sewn it up with a special needle, but the thread needs to be special, I'll go back and study this." Li Shen is talking about sheep intestines, the fibers on the mucosa of sheep intestines can be made into sheep intestines after cooking and sterilization, which can be absorbed.
Li Shen looked at their records and pictures again, and after telling Sun Simiao about his limited surgical knowledge, he went back to his home and began to make sheep intestines.
On this day, the sheep in the feedlot suffered, and the final experiment was to make defatting, steaming and sterilization. Li Shen almost never stopped, and the objects of the experiment were the pig masters in the feedlot.
However, Li Shen was lucky, probably because the pig healed quickly, and it was successful in about ten days, and in the next few days, Li Shen asked Sun Simiao and Li Xiuwei to use dead corpses to simulate living people for surgery.
Problems are found and solved, and medical devices have also increased a lot in the process of surgery.
The experiment continued, and the books that Li Shen had requested to be printed were completed. There are 10,000 copies of each, and the rest are also in print, but it is not as important as this, and Li Shen wants to use this to make a new topic.
Today, as usual, many officials and scholars have bought newspapers, and they have become accustomed to this pastime. There are a lot of bizarre and bizarre things above, and they will all give a reasonable explanation in the end.
Yushitai Zhao Kui also took a newspaper today, drinking tea in the class room and reading the newspaper. However, it was quickly attracted by the headlines of the second edition.
The title is "Shocked: King Ji's Demon is True", and the content is written in the capacity of a reporter (a term popularized by Li Shen).
At the beginning of the article, it was written: Because the folk say that King Ji is a demon, he has to eat people's hearts and drink human blood every day. In order to find out the truth of the matter, I risked being eaten and began to investigate, and after a few days of observation in my open and secret visits, I found that King Ji seemed to be really enchanted, so why do you say that?
The reason is that yesterday, His Royal Highness King Ji came to the newspaper office to ask us to print a piece of news, starting tomorrow, the Datang Book Company under Datang Paper will sell the books used in the Ming Jing Section, the Trial Strategy Department, and the Jinshi Department in the imperial examination at a low price, a total of nine kinds, and the current number is only 10,000 copies.
Originally, it cost twenty or thirty yuan a piece, and it will only be sold for ten yuan from tomorrow, and you read that right, all of them will only be sold for ten yuan, on a first-come, first-served basis.......
The whole article didn't write anything related to King Ji's demonization.,Proper title party.。
However, Zhao Kui hurriedly ran inside after reading it. came to Cui Renzhi's class, "Cui Gong, look at today's newspaper." ”
Cui Renzhi took the newspaper in Zhao Kui's hand and read it, and saw that his hands began to tremble at the end. "How can it be justified, how can it be justified." Cui Renzhi threw down the newspaper and went to Wang Wei to get it.
Wang Weiqu is also reading this article. Seeing Cui Renzhi come in, he said, "Is Cui Gong here to sell books?" ”
"Exactly, you saw it, Maharaja. This king is going to kill my family. Cui Renzhi said excitedly.
"Cui Gong said cautiously, this matter will be talked about in the evening."
