Chapter 116: A prosperous world where everyone has food to eat and everyone has books to read


The time that Zhenxuan said was half a month, however, on the basis of the crazy experiment, on the basis of consuming tens of thousands of taels of various materials every day, only eight days later, what Xiong Yan wanted, which could be promoted, was very cheap, and it was very convenient to use, and a new type of movable type printing appeared.After experimenting with it, Xiong Yan began to ask: "What is the material?"

How much does a pair of this type of movable type cost?

What about the service life?

Finally, on average, how much does it cost to print a book?

”"The material is......

It also has a long service life......

On average, the cost of printing a book is only 20 cents.Compared with the current engraving, it is much cheaper.However, the speed is a little slower than that of a skilled engraving craftsman. ”Hearing this, Xiong Yan didn't talk nonsense, but directly followed the response formula and made a pair of movable types on the spot.Then, let Oak investigate, and sent people to experiment, and after a few days, came to the conclusion: what Zhenxuan Daoist said is true, and it is a little conservative."

Your Highness, did you spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for this in the end?

There must be other purposes behind it, right?

”Oak incomprehensible road."

Naturally, there is a purpose, which is related to my lofty goals in the future, and it is also a small attempt.If I succeed, I'm on the right track. ”The Tao is popularized and enters the lives of the people, so that the people can realize everyone's extraordinary dreams.Even if ordinary people can't achieve any great results in their own cultivation, their physical fitness has doubled, their sleep quality has improved, and their resistance to diseases has been greatly enhanced.Xiong Yan felt that every ordinary person was not needed, he had to cultivate to a certain level, even if it was just a beginner, it was enough for the people to grow more fully.At that time, if you single-handedly promote humanitarian changes, you may be able to truly rely on your own skills to break through Taiyi.Coupled with the Dao Ancestor from the Terran Race, the position of the protagonist of the Heaven and Earth of the Terran at that time will be truly stable.Of course, such a goal is too ambitious.Xiong Yan also thought about it for a long time before he had this first attempt.If you want all people to cultivate, you must be able to read and write for all people.If this can't be done, then the cultivation of the whole people is fake.Improving movable type printing and reducing the cost of books is exactly the same as the purpose of the previous method of disseminating learning.It's all about making it more convenient for ordinary people to read.The price of books has been reduced from 200 to 300 to 300, and the spread of learning skills has further reduced the difficulty of learning.This is the first step that Xiong Yan wants to do, and it is also the first step to change the world.Of course, the prospects are bright and the road is tortuous.Although Xiong Yan thought very well, in the actual process, he encountered more difficulties than he imagined.Taking the promotion of simple movable type printing as an example, this promotion directly made Xiong Yan automatically stand on the opposite side of all engraving craftsmen.This kind of thing is second only to the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife, which is simply uncommon.At the same time, it destroyed the entire Dachu, and more than ninety percent of the jobs of the engraving craftsmen were destroyed, which was equivalent to destroying this original industry.How much resentment will such a big change bring?

There are so many engraving craftsmen, and how many families are behind them?

If it is a descendant, it is natural to say from the perspective of the victor: this is all the throes of reform, if you don't remove the carrion, how can there be healthy new meat growing?

But Xiong Yan is not a descendant, but a promoter of this era, and even behind all this.Thinking of the sight of those engraving craftsmen, whose monthly income had dropped several times, and even their families were ruined, Xiong Yan couldn't help but shake his head.With such a big pot, it's better to throw it to others, such as your own emperor father, it's very good.......

"Huh?"

I've been back for so many days, and I haven't seen you except for the first day I came to visit me, what do you want to do this time?

”Listening to Xiong Chang's ridiculous words, Xiong Yan smiled bitterly, what can I do with such a father?"

Ahem, father, you are the son of Da Chu, who is responsible for the safety of the world, and you are very busy all day long for the sake of the common people in the world.That's why I rarely come here on weekdays. ”"Yes, I've been out for a year, and my face is much thicker than last year.Say, what's going on today?

”Hearing this, Xiong Yan looked at the guards on the side.Seeing this, Xiong Chang waved his hand, and the guards and palace ladies all left.Soon, Xiong Yan explained his intentions.The popularization of Taoism and the entry into the lives of the people are naturally not said.It focuses on the convenience and promotable nature of movable type printing, as well as the price reduction of books, and the convenience of the people learning to put it.Of course, Xiong Yan also talked about the benefits of this matter for humanitarian progress and for Da Chu."

After this law is thoroughly popularized, after the improvement of generations, the cost of books will be reduced to ten yuan, or even seven or eight yuan a piece.""

At that time, even ordinary people who are illiterate can buy a book and give it home to their wives and children.""

Any rich peasant can support his son to study, and any child can have a bookcase at home with hundreds of books.""

Show talent, you can collect thousands of books, and it is easy to break 10,000 volumes.Not only does everyone have something to eat, but everyone has a book to read, and that is the real prosperity. ”Listening to Xiong Yan's words, Xiong Chang recalled the scene more than 200 years ago, when he was still a prince and was still working hard among the people.At that time, the average person could not afford to read.Books are too expensive, and the reason why books are expensive is because of the appearance fee of the engraving craftsmen, or the manual fee is too high.What's more, the engraving craftsmen across the country have long formed a loose alliance, which makes the price of books in various places remain high.After recalling for a moment, Xiong Chang smiled slightly: "The prospect of this matter may be very good, but the opposition of the engraving craftsmen across the country is to be expected. ”Nonsense, otherwise, such a good thing, why should you promote it?

Isn't it just that your thighs are thick enough and your arms are hard enough, and you're still my dad?

In fact, new things will inevitably be eaten by tradition.This has been common throughout the ages.Xiong Yan's small arms and legs can't withstand the backlash of the national carving craftsmen, at least at the moment.In other words, even if you carry it, it is not good for the heir.But Xiong Chang is different, the emperor of Dachu is just promoting printing, who can do anything to him?。。。。。。

Explanation: The so-called loose alliance is actually an industry association.In the case of convenient transportation, a little money, and a little advantage in the body, it is normal to form an industry association and raise prices together.The association itself, which is relatively loose, has the main purpose of coordinating the price of books in a province or a state.It is precisely for this reason that the price of books has always been high.On the one hand, because knowledge is inherently expensive in the context of this article, and on the other hand, it is the engraving craftsmen of the whole country, through this association, who are united.()
