Chapter 936 Buying "Hongwu Political Theory"

Su Yonglin felt that doing so was very meaningful at the time.

When his regime replaces the old order, not only political and economic changes must be completed, but also ideological and cultural works that can compete with the old era.

Hongwu's political theory can be used as the vanguard to charge forward, but it also requires a large number of successors to attack the old ideas, the old culture and the old customs with their brushstrokes and correct posture.

He has power and can use power to attack those who are superior, but the blow of power cannot finally solve the problem.

So if you can subtly educate them in a form that the public likes and hear, change them, seize the high ground of ideology and culture, and build a solid defensive position, then you will definitely be able to achieve excellent results.

Therefore, Su Yonglin felt that in addition to being the emperor and the chairman of the Renaissance Society, he could also be a writer together with Zhao Xirui.

Lu Xun realized that being a doctor who faces a patient cannot save China, so he decided to be a doctor of the whole China, treating China as his patient.

Su Yonglin felt that what he needed to do was no different from Lu Xun back then, very similar.

The land of the Central Plains, which has just opened up, has not yet got rid of the ideological constraints of feudal ethics. It needs the promotion of a new force to free them from the constraints of old ideas and become residents of a new era in a true sense.

While he is alive, he can use his supreme authority to influence everyone, but after he is dead, he cannot guarantee it.

But as a writer, he can maintain his influence for a long time, replace himself, and make close contact with all the people.

Therefore, along with the site selection, construction and decoration of Shuren Book Club in various places, Su Yonglin also took the time to write articles with Zhao Xirui, describing the people's hearts and strange phenomena bound by feudal ethics. The raw materials were Su Yonglin's personal notes back then.

That's an inexhaustible database.

In addition to criticism, Su Yonglin is also more willing to create some brave rebels from the old times.

For example, he decided to use Xin Qiji and Zhao Yu as prototypes to create a story about a young master from a landlord and gentry family who broke with the family after coming into contact with the revival society.

They came into contact with new ideas, broke free from the cage that bound them, destroyed the land deeds, liberated the tenants, and embarked on a journey against the old forces with them.

With only two people's efforts, the old feudal forces couldn't be written down, so Su Yonglin also chose to disclose the years he experienced in the Southern Song Dynasty within the Renaissance Society, and made these years and the real situation public.

Let members watch and learn this part, and encourage them to learn "The White-Haired Girl" and "Crows in the Midnight" to create similar popular vernacular novels.

They can directly submit their articles to the editor-in-chief of the Shuren Book Club set up by Su Yonglin in Zhongdu, and have them review them. The outstanding ones publish their articles and receive a writing fee, that is, a remuneration.

Under his mobilization, from the second half of the third year of Hongwu to February of the fourth year of Hongwu, Shuren Publishing House adopted a total of 36 excellent short stories or novellas.

The novels will be printed and published.

Therefore, on the first day of March in the fourth year of Hongwu, in addition to the first volume of "Hongwu Political Theory" compiled by Su Yonglin with a lot of energy, there were also collective publications of many types of books, including novels.

Because it is a state-run bookstore, and before the opening, there were rumors that articles written by the emperor himself would also be sold in the bookstore to the entire Ming Kingdom, and there was no taboo.

This makes people curious.

Can we read books written by the emperor himself?

On that day, all the Shuren Book Clubs in all provinces across the country opened. The Shuren Book Club where the provincial and prefectural offices are located was full of people in front of and around them, and almost everyone was there for the book " Hongwu Political Theory".

In just one day, or even less than a day, all the stocks of "Hongwu Zhenglun" in all Shuren Publishing Clubs across the country were sold out, and a full one million copies were all sold out.

The book clubs urgently sent news to the Central Capital Headquarters, requesting to reprint "Hongwu Zhenglun". Judging by this posture, another 100 million copies can be sold, and another 200 million copies may also be sold.

On the first day of March, everyone was rushing to buy "Hong Wu Zheng Lun". Those who bought it were ecstatic, and those who couldn't were very depressed.

At the same time, some people began to display their banknote abilities, hoping to buy this book from the people who bought it.

But unexpectedly, only a very few of the people who bought this book that the banknote capable owners came into contact with chose to sell the "Hongwu Zheng Lun" they bought at a high price, and the vast majority were unwilling to sell it. Rather, I want to read this book for the first time.

They want to read the book written by the emperor at the first time no matter what, even if they want to sell it, it is only after reading all of them.

A literate person only wants to read books written by the emperor himself in silence.

Those who were illiterate or not literate were also unwilling to be left behind. Relying on the rural peasant associations, they collectively snapped up "Hong Wu Zheng Lun".

Even if you can only get one copy back, let the literate instructors in the village tell everyone about this book and what their emperor has written to let them know.

After the first day of March, although there is no replenishment of "Hong Wu Zheng Lun", so there are fewer people who frantically buy it, but there are still many cultural people who choose to buy other types of books.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that there is almost everything in the book club. In addition to various classics, there are also books in the categories of mathematics, astronomy and geography, as well as official and private history books of the past dynasties, as well as some interesting legendary novels. is all-encompassing.

And these books are not expensive. Su Yonglin just wants to recover a cost price and even out the operating costs of the book club to accumulate some funds for the further expansion of the book club in the future, so the price of books is relatively cheap.

The cheapest legendary novels can be easily purchased by ordinary farmers without any pressure
Therefore, more and more people know that there are not only the emperor's works in the Shuren Book Club, but also many, many valuable books that they can buy and watch.

So from this day onwards, the business of Shuren Book Club has not been down, and it has been maintained in a very hot state.

A considerable thirst for books among the people was released and satisfied to a considerable extent.

Many people who come to buy books do not sell books one by one, but bring their cars directly, buying them one by one, and buying a set of all types of books to take home, which is said to be a collection.

When I come across some books that are pleasing to the eye, I don’t even want to buy just one, but to buy a few more copies, saying that it’s good to take them back as gifts, and it’s a lot of face.

Therefore, in addition to Hongwu's political theory, there are also many other books that are in urgent need of urgent reprinting.

At present, only the branch of Shuren Bookshelf in each province has the printing bureau. Even if they work overtime at full speed, it is difficult to satisfy people's desire to buy books in a short period of time.
