Chapter 1169

The semi monthly magazine is actually very thick, about 100 pages.

This is a very thick book. It costs 100 copper coins.

It's not cheap, but many people can afford it now.

Technology was improving, and then a book was directly reduced to about 50 copper coins.

After the scale goes up, we can reduce the price again. As long as we buy more people and increase the quantity, it is possible to buy 20 copper coins per book.

When a bimonthly magazine only needs 20 copper coins, it has the significance of a large number of issues and dissemination.

Zhang Yu's continuous innovation in technology, from papermaking to printing, will surely bring down the price.

Zhang Yu took a few sips of tea and listened to the students' comments.

No one will take care of how these students talk about politics. Don't do anything, let alone make something out of nothing. It doesn't matter what else.

In addition, there are many articles in the semimonthly, which can be published for a while.

"Do you know that Cai Yong, the great scholar of CAI, has finally completed the history of Han Dynasty. A book is comparable to historical records."

Cai Yong had been studying the history of the Han Dynasty for many years. At this time, it was time to finish.

The reason why Cai Yong was so slow was that after he arrived at Jiangdong academy, there were too many books, the collision of various views and the generation of various knowledge, which made him change a lot of things before.

There are many things in it that he can learn and repair books while learning, so the speed is slow down.

Although slow down, but the content is rich, and the quality is very good.

This is based on the fact that Huang Fusong, Zheng Xuan and others have seen it and made some comments.

Several masters of Jiangdong academy commented on it. How could it be fake? The book of Cai Yong has not been published yet. I don't know how many people who print books have already targeted Cai Yong.

Once printed, it will sell well.

Undoubtedly, it is a fire book, which can be sold to the whole Tang Dynasty immediately.

Now, knowledge has to be paid. How much money do these businessmen have to pay Cai Yong for each book, and they have to pay for it.

Many businessmen came to Cai Yong's house. Originally, Cai Yong didn't accept the money, but after some persuasion, Cai Yong accepted the money and made an advertisement.

Very simply, he wants to let people know that knowledge can make money and let more people participate.

Only in this way can more people study and learn.

As long as we study hard, we can live a good life in all kinds of ways.

The man opposite Zhang Yu also had a semi monthly magazine, but he didn't seem to discuss it with others.

"Brother, you are so serious. Why don't you discuss with others?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Not interested."

Zhang Yu didn't know what he was not interested in.

It's inconvenient for Zhang Yu to disturb people's reading. The other side turns page by page. Mu Han has been listening and quietly listening to the students around.

"I like the engineering knowledge above, only two articles at a time. It's too few." The other side finally put down the semimonthly and said.

"Engineering? If you like, you can apply for the engineering college. There are many materials in it, but you can read them at will. " Zhang Yu said.

"Alas, there is only one engineering college in the world. I'm in Xuzhou. My mother is very ill and can't travel far away." The other side sighed and said.

Zhang Yu understood that he was in trouble.

Zhang Yu has a look. He looks like a rich man in his thirties. He doesn't look like a businessman or a student. Zhang Yu can't feel like anything.

"This engineering science is not valued by people all over the world. How can you like it?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"What's the use of reading? Engineering is really useful. It can make a lot of things and enrich the country and strengthen the army." Said the other.

"I underestimate you, sir. I admire you, but I don't know you have such insight." Naturally, Zhang Yu can't say that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He can only use a pseudonym.

"It's just complaining. A few people in the world will study engineering. It's a craftsman. It's the lowest class." Said the other.

The other party sighed, drank a sip of tea and said, "scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, in the past workers were still in front of businessmen, but now businessmen have a very high status, and the craftsmen are the lowest. This is the general trend, and there is no way to change the fact."

"Well, I've talked a lot. My name is Yibo. I was a craftsman in Jiangdong in my early years. Later, I opened my own workshop and made a lot of money."

No wonder the other party can easily sit here to comment on current affairs. It's not good without money.

"Your majesty of the Tang Dynasty has set up the Royal Institute of engineering, and will certainly attach importance to craftsmen." Zhang Yu said.

"Yes, your majesty attaches great importance to it, but people all over the world don't attach importance to it. You can't change it overnight." Yibo shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Yu thinks that he is a talented person. He likes craftsmanship and is willing to study.

"You can write articles to make more people pay attention to engineering. Maybe it has some effect." Zhang Yu said again.

It's a good idea when the other person's eyes shine.

If the other party is really talented and can write good things, Zhang Yu will be able to pay attention to it, which may be of great use in the future.

Zhang Yu sat in the teahouse for a long time and learned a lot.

These are very important. Zhang Yu also heard that someone was arguing about 100 schools.

Zhang Yu intends to involve other academics. In the future, there will be only classics, not hundreds.

When taking the exam, we should include all the classics. Only in this way can the culture prosper.

Only after prosperity can it always occupy the dominant position in the future.

Zhang Yu borrowed the latest half monthly magazine from Yibo.

Half of them are current affairs, followed by articles in various fields, including literature, history, medicine, engineering, etc., as well as some law, geography, physics, etc.

Only in this way can various disciplines flourish.

"It seems that a semi monthly magazine is not enough. We should also compile monographs of various majors, so that some people who have other hobbies can choose their own books to study. Only in this way can we prosper a hundred schools more quickly."

The hundred schools here are not the ones in the spring and Autumn period, but the subjects of physics, geography, arithmetic and so on.

Zhang Yu wants to bring in modern science, but it can't be urgent. People in this era should learn slowly.

Zhang Yu drank tea, flipped through the semi monthly magazine and read the articles above.

"Brother mu, this work and study can create things and produce value. What value can literature and history produce?" Yibo said.

Zhang Yu thinks that Yibo is a bit extreme. In the study of literature, it naturally plays a role. After all, it can transform the whole society and make the whole society settle down in ideology and culture.

What Zhang Yu wants to do is to make all engineering students learn literature and history, not just craftsmen.

"I agree that craftsmen can prosper the country, but literary history is a heritage, and there is no lack of it." Zhang Yu said.

Yibo pondered for a while, nodded his head and said: "it's under the menglang."
