"Master Xun, Master Qin brought back a huge number of palace books from Luoyang City, and they need to be revised volume by volume.

Correcting and printing all cost money. Without money, even if we revise it, we still can’t print it. As Mr. Qin said,

Those are the essences accumulated by the ancestors of the Central Plains race for thousands of years. If we want to pass them on, it is really impossible to complete them without funds."

Hu Zhaodao.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, you are talking about building a music branch. This will also cost money. It not only requires classrooms, but also

It also needs to be equipped with various musical equipment. If students want to be proficient, they must have various guqin, pipa,

It is also very expensive to find someone to produce erhu, guzheng, flute, dongxiao and other musical instruments."

Cai Yongdao.

During this time, Cai Yan had nothing to do. He walked into the academy and became one of the teachers in the academy, causing students to participate enthusiastically.

Cai Yan's class has the most students.

The key is that the beautiful teacher is too eye-catching.

Of course, Cai Yan's achievements in literature and art are also very impressive, and he has the ability to remember his works forever.

Memorizing thousands of volumes of books in my mind is an amazing thing, and it can only be achieved if you are born in a family of scholars like Cai Yong.

Cai Yong himself had thousands of books in his collection.

This incident reminded Qin Qi, isn't there a shortage of labor in the area?

If women were liberated, how much more labor force would there be.

This is why Qin Qi encouraged Cai Yan to teach in the academy, take a leading role, and slowly promote the improvement of women's status.

Qin Qi believed that as long as she took the lead, many wives of officials under her account would get out of their homes and join in social production and life.

"Sir Qin, this is a dictionary that our group of great scholars have worked on for several years. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, we are going to print it in large quantities."

Guan Ning sent a thick manuscript.

Qin Qi took it and turned it over casually.

"Mr. You'an, I won't read it. As long as the bosses have checked it and there is no problem, please send it to the printing house for printing!

Dictionaries are very important to our Central Plains people and are the best way to promote cultural inheritance. You guys here have made a huge contribution and should be given a heavy reward."

Qin Qi said.

"Master Qin, how many copies do you think is best to print at one time?"

Guan Ning said.

"When printing, ask the printing factory to store the modules. You don't need to retype the modules when you reprint them later. You can just take them out and print them.

It saves both cost and time. Let’s print 100,000 copies first, and we’ll print more when it’s not enough.”

Qin Qi said.

One hundred thousand copies!

The big guys sitting there were suddenly surprised!

"Master Qin, are you printing too much? If you print 100,000 copies at once, will so many people buy them?"

Zheng Xuandao.

"Mr. Kangcheng, one hundred thousand copies sounds very big. In fact, our jurisdiction alone has a population of nearly 25 million. If a student holds one copy, it will definitely exceed one hundred thousand copies. Why do you think there are too many copies?

?”

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, every student in the academy has a copy. Do middle school students in local academies also have to pay for it? That's a lot of money!"

Xun Yu said.

Xun Wenruo is right. Printing costs are indeed very expensive nowadays. One hundred thousand dictionaries require a lot of money.

But what?

This kind of money cannot be saved.

"Has the printing house calculated the cost?"

Qin Qi said.

"We have calculated it. Using the new currency in our jurisdiction, the price given by the printing house is three silver coins.

If the profit of the printing factory is included, the ex-factory price is about four silver coins. Calculated in this way, the price in the hands of consumers is about ten silver coins.

The price is indeed a bit high. It is estimated that only big families and eunuch families will purchase it, and the common people will not purchase it."

Guan Ning said.

Qin Qi shook her head.

Too expensive.

"If we print on paper produced in our own workshop, what will be the ex-factory price of a copy?"

Qin Qi said.

In this era, there is no shortage of raw materials, but the technology is too crude and the quality of the paper produced is not very good.

"Master Qin, the quality of the paper produced in Ma Jun's workshop is not good. This is a dictionary. Many people will only purchase one book in their lifetime. It is recommended to choose better paper when printing. Don't worry too much about the cost."

Guan Ning said.

nonsense!

It costs so much to print it out and sell it to whom!

Without lowering the price, it is impossible to popularize it all over the world.

well!

Qin Qi sighed secretly.

It seems that the papermaking technology in the workshop needs to be researched and improved more intensively. Only by producing cheap and high-quality paper can books be popularized rapidly.

"Master Qin, compiling a dictionary is really not easy. Although there are samples given by adults, compiling it is very time-consuming and energy-consuming.

It can be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of many people in the academy. I suggest that when printing, you must choose good paper and not print on inferior paper."

Xun Shuang said.

"Gentlemen, have you ever thought about it. No matter how good something is compiled, it cannot be put on the market or the price is too high.

How many people will buy it? Our goal is to benefit more people and make the dictionary more popular as a cultural inheritance of Chinese ethnic groups.

Think about it again, there are more than 25 million people in our jurisdiction, how many children will go to school?

One copy per person. If, as the Lord said, each student will receive one copy for free, how much will it cost? Have you guys considered it? Our government is really short of money!"

Xun Yu, the great steward, became poor again.

Xun Wenruo is right, they are all given away for free, and the government cannot afford it!

It's all printed on fine paper, so I think the article will be scolded.

"Gentlemen, I have a suggestion. After several years of exploration, our students' textbooks have been basically finalized.

There won't be any big changes in the future. It's really a waste to have new textbooks issued to students after they finish first grade and then go to second grade.

Can we take back the textbooks used by the upper grade students and distribute them to the next grade students?

In this way, education funding will be reduced a lot, and the academy will not have to worry about money."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, this is a good method. It not only solves the academy's lack of funds problem, but also reduces the burden on the government. It is indeed a good method."

Xun Yu said.

When Xun Yu heard that it didn't cost money, he would definitely agree with it.

The big guys sitting there nodded and thought it was feasible.

The college only prints student textbooks a year, which is indeed a huge expense, plus the Xiakou area distributes them free of charge.

"Gentlemen, you should instill in students the good habit of cherishing books and ask them to pay more attention when flipping through books.

Of course, we still have to make up for damaged textbooks, and we cannot let students take tattered books to class."

Qin Qi said.

"Master Qin, if the dictionary is to be distributed to students for free, it is estimated that printing one hundred thousand copies will not be enough. There are millions of students in the jurisdiction alone. If each person has one copy, it will be necessary to print millions of copies."

Guan Ning said.

"Mr. You'an, this is only the number of copies provided for market sales, and does not include the parts for students."

Qin Qi said.

"Master Qin, if it is only sold to external parties, one hundred thousand copies will definitely not be sold, so we should limit the number of printings."

Guan Ning said.

"No need! Mr. You'an, you underestimate the strength of the big families and eunuch families in the Han Dynasty.

As long as they are good, they are not willing to spend money on them no matter how expensive they are. A dictionary is a kind of reference book, which is essential for reading and literacy in the future.

Once it is put on the market, it will definitely be sought after by those big families and eunuch families."

Qin Qi said.
Chapter completed!
