Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 659
"Don't worry about this, I have told the people below," Li Wenchong said with a smile, "You don't really think that those people in the Royal Manufacturing Office are fools, and they can even get this thing wrong?"

"I don't think they are fools. I'm worried that they are too observant of the 'rules'. I have always heard that there are many royal rules, no matter what they do, they are particular. If you give an order and take the drawings, maybe they won't even change them." I won’t change it, just copy it directly... If that’s the case, there will be big problems with the things created.”

"How come? I asked them to make it for use, but they just made it and it can't be used. How can it be done?"

……

While talking, the two arrived at Brother Can's yard in a short while.

Brother Can is a boy and the only son of Li Wenchong, so when Butler Zhou supervised the design drawings, he specially arranged the two courtyards closer.

In the future, Brother Can will have his own privacy when he grows up...

This is simple. Anyway, Li Wenchong will only have one son like Brother Can in the future, so Steward Zhou directly allocated a part of the outer courtyard to Brother Can's yard.

But now that Brother Can is young, the outer courtyard is sealed off, and the temporary space for activities is only the inner courtyard.

Even this part is not small, two or three times the size of Jinling.

Even the study room, a large one was directly built, and books were collected from all over the world early and stuffed in.

Looking at so many bookcases, Gu Qingling was very surprised: "Why are there so many books?! Why do I feel that besides the books in Jinling, you seem to have other places here."

With that said, Gu Qingling casually took a book from the bookcase.

Sure enough, it is not a Jinling publication. The books in Jinling are all horizontal, with punctuation marks to break sentences, and various illustrations.

Especially children's reading materials are mainly based on pictures.

But the book in Gu Qingling's hand is mainly text, vertical, without punctuation marks.

"Where is this book published? There are no punctuation marks, and you have to break sentences when you read it yourself. Are you sure Brother Can can really understand it?"

Li Wenchong glanced at it and said, "I don't know. The people below accepted it. But all the books they think are good are handed over to a special gentleman for review, and they are sent here if there is no problem. Things like punctuation marks are basically It is only used by your Jinling side, and there is also the "Daming Daily". There are basically no books like this kind of earlier collection..."

However, Li Wenchong also had to admit that with punctuation marks on the book, the book looks much easier.

He has already suggested to Emperor Mingguang that the newspaper is trying it out, and there are also a small number of internal publications trying it out.However, the current collection of the royal family is mainly from the past, that is, the old version with vertical layout without punctuation marks.

Emperor Mingguang also considered the issue of reprinting, but the project was too large, so he didn't move it for the time being.

"What's the matter, let the bookstores in the world do it." Gu Qingling smiled, and said, "The world is prosperous, and everyone is benefiting. As long as your majesty is willing to let go, write a word, or write a 'Royal collection','Royal recommendation ' or 'Supplies recommended by Prince Chong' and other words, it is suitable to recruit Tianxia Bookstore, and they will publish it. I can guarantee that there will be many people grabbing it without paying a penny or effort by the royal family."

Royal, but the gold signboard.

Who doesn't want a piece of the pie once this signboard is up?

What's more, who has more books in the world than the royal family?

Take out a few good books at will, and you will be able to attract scholars from all over the world.

Gu Qingling: "I don't think publishing is a problem. What you are mainly worried about is probably shaking the foundation of scholars all over the world and causing them to backlash, right?"

Li Wenchong nodded: "You guessed it right. Brother Huang asked me to take it easy when you want to build an academy, and don't make too much noise. If the royal collection is published, the impact will only be greater. And I am also worried about this. Doing so may affect your long-term plans.”

"The influence may be a little bit, but... I don't think it's a bad thing." Gu Qingling thought for a while, then said, "Since it's the imperial collection, then there must be no one from those scholarly families who peeped at the imperial collection. , then you can exchange with them, exchange the royal collection with them for their family's collection..."

"Wait, aren't we talking about the publication of the imperial collection of books? Why are you talking about exchanging books with those aristocratic families?" Li Wenchong frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Qingling's strides were a bit too big, and he was afraid of messing things up.

"Then what do you think, do they want the Royal Collection?"

"I definitely want to," Li Wenchong said affirmatively, "It's not a day or two since the royal family collected all the books in the world. Naturally, there are some secret collections that others want in their hands. Some collections can only be seen by members of the royal family. Allowed, even I, can't turn it around at will."

"That's right, since you have secret treasures in your hands, you can definitely lure them into the bait."

"However, you have overlooked a problem. Not all collections can be published, that is to say, not all collections can be 'exchanged'. The publishing I just mentioned refers to most of the collections that can be opened to the outside world..." The books that were originally circulated in the market were limited in printing due to the influence of printing technology in the early years.

Some people really can't buy books, or can't bear the money, so they will copy them by themselves.

You copied mine, I copied yours, copied back and forth, and mistakes and omissions appeared unconsciously.

Therefore, books that fall into the hands of some people are likely to be wrong.

You are holding a wrong book, how can you take the imperial examination?

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and it is also one of the reasons why many people want to visit famous teachers and study in famous colleges.Studying in a large academy may not necessarily make you successful, but it can guarantee that the books you read and what you learn are correct.

Only under the right premise can you get closer to the imperial examination and have more hope of showing your prominence in the imperial examination.

After movable type printing came out, Li Wenchong also had the idea of ​​the imperial collection of books, just wanting to print more "correct" books, so that students all over the world can get the correct version and learn the correct knowledge.

Hearing Li Wenchong's explanation, Gu Qingling knew that Li Wenchong had misunderstood what he meant.

"You seem to have misunderstood. I mean the same thing as publishing the imperial collection, and you mean the same thing as publishing the imperial collection. If it can be published to the world, it must be read by the whole world." Gu Qingling said, "But not everyone The books are available to everyone in the world, just like the internal publications published by my artisan workshop, many of them involve patented technologies, so aren’t they also closed to the outside world? There are three types of books in the artisan workshop .”

"If you don't tell me, I forgot. Sorry, I misunderstood."

"It's okay, I didn't make it clear. You are afraid that I will misunderstand, so you are right to explain it to me. In case we think differently, we have been talking about something wrong for a long time. After talking about it, isn't it just talking for nothing?" Gu Qingling said with a smile, "It's not a day or two to publish the royal collection of books. We are not in a hurry. We can design a book system first, which ones can be published to the next person, which ones are published to the ministers of the court, and which are Don't classify the published... several layers, divide the collection into different areas, and then select books according to the weight of these areas..."
