"Hiss~" Lu Su took a deep breath and was shocked by the exact same handwriting in the two books and by this book with more than 10,000 words, "How much does this cost?"
"The more copies you have, the cheaper the average price will be. If it's just the two copies you have, they probably won't be much cheaper than the original copy." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"Then it can't be promoted." Lu Su sighed and said.
"But if you get thousands of volumes, it will be much cheaper than the slips." Chen Xi said nonchalantly.
"Hey, why are there still typos here? Why don't you correct it?" Lu Su looked at the word "traditional" above and it was obvious that there was an extra stroke. As for what Chen Xi said, he didn't understand it yet, or it didn't enter his brain.
"It's too troublesome. If you make a mistake, you're wrong." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "It's not good to do it quickly, and the people who made this thing are illiterate craftsmen, so it can only be like this. Besides, one or two
If the wording is wrong, it is wrong. Be tolerant and understand. This thing is much better than the slips."
Chen Xi's understanding of tolerance is entirely because the craftsman is illiterate and can only reverse what he wrote and engrave it, and since he engraves a whole page at a time, if he makes a mistake, he has to re-engrave it all, so as long as it is not a keyword, and
If there was no more than one word wrong in the first edition, Chen Xi would just pretend he didn't see it.
As for movable type printing, Chen Xi said that he has no such ability at all. Craftsman skills are a problem, materials are a problem, and he is also a problem. There are problems up and down, so what to do? It is not as good as engraving. Anyway, it is social progress. Stone carving
No, wood carving, wood carving cannot be hollowed out with gold and stone. Anyway, this technology was mastered by the Chinese in the Shang Dynasty, and there is no pressure at all.
"That's true, when there are errors and omissions in the copying." Lu Su nodded and said, "But if the handwriting and errors and omissions are the same, it will be easy for others to find the problem."
"Just discover it if you find it. Whoever has used seals since ancient times doesn't know about this, but who has the paper to do such a thing?" Chen Xi smiled nonchalantly. China has been doing this kind of seal for thousands of years. How can it be done?
I don’t know what’s going on? If you don’t have enough technology to use movable type printing, that’s it. If you can’t even use engraving, are you kidding me?
To put it bluntly, if someone could create paper that could be popularized in the Shang Dynasty, then someone would be able to create engraving printing within a few days. This can be said to be instinctive.
"Can you control the source?" Lu Su frowned and said, "If you can control it, you can use this as an enlightenment book. In this way, you can probably achieve the purpose of mass-producing civil servants as you mentioned. Since ancient times, there have been good scholars who have no books to read.
, how many geniuses in the world have been lost to everyone because of this, it is impossible to count, and if you give them a chance now, they will definitely repay you. From this, in ten years, as long as ten years, Xuande Gong can fight the world alone and win.
It’s also unknown whether it’s negative.”
"But we can't take action now." Chen Xi said with a wry smile, "I don't want to antagonize the aristocratic family now. If we really issue the book, it will only make the aristocratic family fight with us. Wisdom and land will never decline. Even if one day the land property
There is no value in being out there, but no country dares to abandon its land, which will only become a castle in the air. As for wisdom, this is the foundation of our country."
"What about you?" Lu Su also understood this. The previous test was just to test whether Chen Xi was dazzled by the huge achievements. What reassured him was that even with this huge body in front of him,
Chen Xi also still maintains the rationality of a wise man.
"Sell it, a book costs a hundred gold. After all, this is a book with a thousand words. Even if it is based on the price of the bamboo slips, it is worth a thousand gold. In addition to its portability, it is so rare that a book worth a hundred gold is not expensive." Chen Xi said casually.
An industry that robs money, this is an industry that robs money, and in this era where knowledge is more valuable than life and money is like dirt, as long as you dare to sell it, aristocratic families can eat as much as you have. I am always afraid that I don’t have enough knowledge and I cherish it.
When has the family ever sold off its knowledge?
Since ancient times, when scholars had no money and encountered good books, they exchanged land and manors for letters. The Chinese people have done it countless times. As long as you have books and are willing to sell them, you can choose whatever land, money, food, slaves, and singers you want. This is absolute.
hard currency.
However, I have never heard of anyone selling books since the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, there are no bookstores. Most of them are gifts. According to the opinions of ancient scholars, it seems a bit immoral...
"Hundred gold?" Lu Su took a rough look and saw that this piece of small regular script contained almost a hundred words. It was printed on a single page and the number on the back cover was ninety-nine. There was no fraud in the ten thousand words, so he nodded and said, "
If I had seen this book before, I would have been willing to exchange it for a thousand pieces of gold, and I think others will do the same. Zichuan's price is fair, and it is also for the benefit of scholars like us."
"Okay, from now on this ninety-nine-page book will be sold for one thousand gold as Zijing said. The ninety-nine pages in the book will show that the number nine is one, and the law of heaven is lacking. The takeaway means that we only made money from the last page.
It's considered travel expenses." Chen Xi explained expressionlessly, and by the way, he ordered Lu Su to this book. In the future, if anyone thinks that death is expensive, they can go and talk to Lu Su.
"This method is very good, but I don't deserve to receive such a gift even though I have no merit..." Lu Su is indeed a benevolent gentleman. He felt that he was just a suggestion, but in the end, he accepted a big gift like this and took too much advantage.
"Nothing, if you're interested, you can write something and I'll print it out for you." Chen Xi said Ruowuqi, and by the way, he gave Lu Su a grand prize.
"Since I am so ashamed to accept it, but I still ask Zichuan to take back what he said in writing a book, Su Zhi may not be able to do it." Lu Su said with a wry smile, but the light in his eyes could not hide his eagerness to try.
Well, Chen Xi snickered, and he was already overjoyed. He knew that in this era, absolutely no one could block the ultimate goal of writing a book. Even if he declined, he still couldn't give up in his heart. No matter who wrote the book,
As long as it can be written and spread, people will read it.
In this era, those who dare to write books and establish opinions are basically a generation of great scholars, and it can be said that they are already famous all over the world. Writing a book and distributing it basically means that they want to reach the top.
But the sad thing is that these people's books are all for copying, and the quantity is very small. It is impossible for everyone to have one copy, so it is very difficult to publish a book. Let's not talk about ability. You have to be able to distribute it in quantity.
, the great Confucian scholar had a group of disciples to copy it, do you have any? I have been deleting it for more than ten years, just because I was worried that it would be troublesome when others copied it, so I kept it as simple as possible.
Nowadays, Chen Xi's mindless printing is much better. If he says he will publish a book for you, he will publish a book for you. A thousand copies are not enough, so he only sells 10,000 copies. Even Zhao Yun can't resist.
It is said that Chen Xi was bored one day and asked Zhao Yun to write down the records of the farming, and then he would compile it into a book when he had time. In the future, other people would just follow the steps when doing it. Zhao Yun was so excited at the time that he didn't know where to go with his hands and feet. Let go.
Chen Xi understood in an instant what it meant to celebrities to write books in this era. This was the magic trick to abduct famous officials. He didn't believe it. Various books with a hundred thousand words were blocked at the door of Xun's house, plus Publish a book for Xun Shuang, but he doesn’t believe that the Xun family won’t give it to him.
ps: Twenty taels in the Han Dynasty were one gold, and one quarter of a tael was one baht, so one gold was equal to 24 baht × 20 taels, which is 480 baht. One copper coin was five baht, that is, one gold coin. It should be 96 five-baht coins. If you think there is something wrong, you can check the "Historical Records Pingzhun Shu". I just stated that what I sold was not expensive...
