Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 455

The popularity of the book naturally led to the promotion of "Pinyin" and "Punctuation Marks". At the same time, the first volume of "Mathematics" also allowed many people who bought this book to learn about Li's (Arabic) numerals.

In fact, Li Ming was acting for private interests. He printed a batch of "Punctuation Marks" and "Pinyin", together with "Mathematics", and sent them to the government offices of all counties and counties under his jurisdiction. He ordered officials at all levels to study. Next year (AD 192), you must be able to read and read pinyin, you must use punctuation marks in your writing, and you must also introduce Li's numbers when keeping accounts.

Li's numbers have been popularized in Kuaiji County in the past few years, and the double-entry bookkeeping method has also been popularized.This major exchange naturally popularized Li's numbers and double-entry bookkeeping in Wu County and Yuzhang County.

The use of punctuation marks in writing is something that Li Ming must popularize. In the final analysis, he is still disappointed with the people below.

I have never seen it so powerful in terms of government affairs, but the documents sent up are full of nonsense. If you look carefully, there are still many language traps. If you make a wrong judgment in sentence reading, it may be misunderstood as something else.However, there are no punctuation marks these days, and how to divide sentences can only rely on personal understanding, so even if it is an article, ten people may have ten different interpretations.

For example, "Spring and Autumn Classics", based on needs and understanding, derived "Chunqiu Zuozhuan", "Gongyang Spring and Autumn", "Lushi Spring and Autumn" and "Guliang Spring and Autumn"... No wonder Guan Yu likes to hold this Spring and Autumn Annals, I am afraid Different insights every time I read it!

"I won't give you a chance to argue!" Li Ming said in front of civil and military officials when he promoted the punctuation marks.If there is doubt, let it be defined, and express what it means.Li Ming wanted to continue playing the word game of sentence reading, but he was too lazy to waste time on this.

The book printing workshop was completely exposed to the aristocratic family in November, and a large number of goods were purchased and shipped. If there is no way to find out clearly, then these aristocratic families will not be able to inherit it now.

In the beginning, Xinhua Book Store sold books at low prices. Many aristocratic families had already received news that the boss behind this book store was Li Ming.Seeing that the quality of the book is so good, but the price is so low, they all thought that Li Ming was trying to lose money.

However, after more than a month, everyone can only see a large number of books being sold continuously, and the key price is still so low. The biggest difference is that the event period is over, and only those who purchase more than one book can enjoy a [-]% discount.

The discount at the book store is nothing to the aristocratic family. What really excited them was Li Ming's attempt to break the cultural monopoly, which was almost destroying the foundation of the aristocratic family.

The influence of aristocratic families lies in their ability to control and guide public opinion, and this foundation is the monopoly of culture.Illiterate people will always subconsciously follow the guidance of cultural people, especially famous Confucian scholars or celebrities.But if the common people are educated and can think for themselves, how can they control this group of untouchables?

"The situation is already known!" The Gu family, the Lu family, and even the heads of the Wei family and other aristocratic families gathered together under the pretext of having a banquet. The current head of the Gu family, that is, Gu Yong's father, spoke first, "Li Ming The papermaking technology has been improved, the cost has been reduced to the limit, and a large number of books have been published with woodblock printing..."

After finishing speaking, he picked up an Analects of Confucius and continued: "Generally speaking, a book like this before, with such quality, could not be sold without three hundred wen, otherwise it would definitely lose money. Now the cost is only fifty wen, and the book The selling price in the store is [-] yuan, more than double the profit, and the key is to make those untouchables very grateful."

"I thought it was a loss to make money, and the price would eventually rise, but it was put together!" The Patriarch of the Wei family was suddenly annoyed.

"Actually, have you ever thought about it? This is also a good way to make a fortune!" Lu Jun, the elder of the Lu family, said. I don't believe you didn't buy these books in large quantities, and plan to make a fortune when the price rises."

Everyone bowed their heads when they heard the words. They really had this idea, so they bought a lot of books and went back.Xinhua Book Store didn't intervene, anyway, they sold as much as they wanted, and as a result, a lot of books were stored in the warehouses of several stores.

"Currently only in Yangzhou, the prices of these books are so cheap, but if I go out, I can sell such a book for [-] yuan, and some people will thank me!" Lu Jun picked up the "Analects of Confucius" in front of everyone. Said.

"It's just that you will be hated by the local aristocratic family?" Zhu Zhun frowned.

"As long as we sell under the name of the Kuaiji Chamber of Commerce, even if we are hated by others, it's only the prefect's business. That's how we do it, buy and sell, double the profit!" Lu Jun pointed two fingers.

"So what if you have money, let the printing workshops continue to sell books endlessly. We have gained the present, and what we will lose will be the future!" The head of the Wei family sarcastically said that breaking the monopoly on knowledge is the most important thing compared to negligible profits. intolerable.

"Then based on what you see, what should we do? Prohibit the printing of books for sale?" Lu Jun asked directly.

"Compete with the people! Because of his bookstore, two bookstores can't sell their books, and they are not far from closing. As long as paper improvement technology and printing technology are not popularized, then the entire bookstore in China will They have to close their doors. Not only us, but other aristocratic families in other places will never allow Li Ming to monopolize printing technology! Those poor families will not allow it either. They usually rely on copying books to make a living, and now they are also facing unemployment!" The head of the Wei family The key was found quickly.

"I didn't ask you to come here to target the eunuch!" Patriarch Gu shook his head, then looked at Lu Jun, "Don't expect to be able to transport books to other places for sale, the eunuch has already shared papermaking and printing technology with others unconditionally. The Chen, Xun, and Wang families, and of course our Gu family, will soon establish corresponding workshops in Wu, Taiyuan, Xiapi, and Yingchuan counties, and start selling to surrounding areas." The head of the Gu family said slowly. Said slowly.

"Are you planning to warn us?" Lu Jun raised his brows. He thought that the banquet was intended to deal with Li Ming over the issue of printing, but he did not expect that the Gu family had already betrayed the Wu County family.

"I'm just clarifying the facts. In less than a month, those who can afford books in the four counties of Jiangdong have already bought books. What they need is to find opportunities to digest these books. At this point, no matter what we It doesn't make sense to do anything..." the head of the Gu family said leisurely.

In fact, he was not so calm, especially when Li Ming sent someone to take him there and showed him the process of secretly investigating the bookstore these days, he was really panicked at that time.

"The prefect said..." Patriarch Gu sighed, "Books have become popular, I hope everyone will not embarrass him for the sake of past affection. He can take out the improved papermaking technique and share it with us. It is more valuable than printing. In addition, he told me very bluntly, whoever dares to make trouble at this time, he does not mind giving Thunder Wrath, this is no joke."

"What happened recently?" Lu Jun was not stupid, he knew something had happened.

"I also just found out that Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, seemed to have died of a sudden illness a few days ago. The later general Yuan Shu took the opportunity to take control of Jiujiang County, and appointed Liu Xun as the governor of Yangzhou. He was eyeing Lujiang County and even Jiangdong..."

Everyone immediately understood that the war was about to break out, and Li Ming would not allow it. During this period of time, there were any internal problems.

In the family banquet held by Mrs. Gu, the guests finally left happily.They couldn't wait, and got in touch with the workshop through Gu's, and then allocated the shares, and found a place to start papermaking. As long as this thing is made, then there will be no market.

Lu Jun didn't leave in a hurry, and stayed in the hall until the end.Seeing that everyone had already left, Patriarch Gu returned to the hall with a wry smile, and looked at Lu Jun helplessly.

"Brother Lu, is there anything else?" Patriarch Gu saw that Lu Jun hadn't spoken for a long time, so he could only ask.

"Don't play tricks with me. The benefits you get from Li Ming must be much more than technology. It's not good to live alone!" Lu Jun looked at the Patriarch of the Gu family with an expression of "I've seen through you a long time ago".

"I really can't hide it from Brother Lu!" The head of the Gu family sat down, "My son Gu Yong was appointed as the magistrate of Yongkang County. Your Excellency promises that in the next period of time, resources will be properly allocated to Yongkang to accumulate political capital for my son. In addition I also said that since books have become popular, there will be more and more people who can read and write in the future, and there will naturally be a new evaluation standard for becoming an official. My lord promises that the policy will be appropriately relaxed for aristocratic families..."

"That's right. Gu Yan, my younger brother, was the first to get in touch with Xun Biao, and with Cai Yong as the intermediary, it's no wonder that the Gu family is valued... Since you can talk to adults, how about introducing a couple of women for me? They are from Lujiang. Duke Qiao's daughter is quite famous in Jiangdong..."

"You mean Jiangdong Erqiao? It's just that as far as I know, my younger sister Qiao Yu is only 12 years old, and she got married only after the adults advocated it." The Patriarch of the Gu family immediately guessed Lu's thoughts.

"Having said that, Peng Ji was only 12 years old when she became an adult's concubine. It can be seen that the advocacy is only an advocacy. The Lu family and Mr. Qiao have some old feelings. If the two daughters can become the adult's concubine, then the Lu family will not be happy in the future. I will forget Brother Gu's help!" Lu Jun cupped his hands and said.

The Zhang family has been eliminated, and the Zhu family is only following the route of a military officer, so the Jiangdong officialdom, the Gu family and the Lu family are all competing, at least the Yu family cannot be allowed to be superior.The Gu family still has Cai Yong's path, so the Lu family naturally plans to do something about it.

"I heard that Qiao Yu is innocent, lively and cute, why not let her get in touch with Peng Ji more..." Mrs. Gu didn't answer, but just muttered a few words to herself.

"Thank you, Brother Gu, for your advice!" Lu Jun cupped his hands, got up and left.

　This chapter originally planned to start with the resistance of the aristocratic family, and write a few chapters on how to violently suppress it, but found that the recent descriptions of government affairs have not been subscribed actively enough, so this part is simply mentioned...
