Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

The next day, Xiao Yu mentioned the establishment of the Taixue at the court meeting.

It is designed to provide a place for students from all over the world to take the selection examination, and also provides a place for these students to study and communicate.

To put it bluntly, he just couldn't chill the hearts of those who came to join him, and let them feel that he really valued talents.

Wang Qi asked: "Your Majesty, where is the Taixue located? Will the original Fuxue be changed into Taixue?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "No need, the prefectural school is still reserved. Let's change the original Chen Mansion into Taixue, that house is big enough, it should be able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of students."

The Chen family's house is very big, even bigger than the governor's mansion where Xiao Yu lived.After the Chen family was raided, Xiao Yu originally planned to give the house to Wang Qi, because the Wang family brought a group of people over and needed a big house to settle them down.

But Wang Qi didn't dare to ask for it, he didn't dare to live in a palace bigger than Xiao Yu's.

The house has been vacant, and now it just comes in handy.The matter of running the Taixue was settled in this way.

A few days later, Wang Qi sent several manuscripts over for Xiao Yu to review, and asked if he needed a name.

Xiao Yu said: "Of course I will, what advice does Mr. Wang have?"

Wang Qi said: "I have drafted a few names, please give instructions to your Majesty."

Xiao Yu looked at it and found that it was either too old-fashioned or too literary. He said, "It's not suitable, so let's call it "Spark". A single spark can start a prairie fire."

Wang Qi said: "But the phrase 'If a fire starts a prairie fire, don't turn it on' from the "Shangshu"? I think it is inappropriate. This last sentence can still be extinguished, which is not auspicious."

Xiao Yu said: "Yes, the fire can be extinguished, but once the fire of thought spreads, it will be passed on from generation to generation and have a far-reaching impact."

When Wang Qi heard this, he stopped retorting: "I obey the order."

"Okay, let me put this manuscript here first, and I will discuss it with you after I finish reading it."

Xiao Yu attached great importance to the first issue of the newspaper, because he wanted to set a tone.We should not indulge too much in the existence of those stereotyped conservative or even reactionary concepts, we should change what can be changed, and delete what cannot be changed. Anyway, there are capable people around him, and it is not a problem to write a few manuscripts.

It took Xiao Yu two days to approve these manuscripts.

Wang Qi was very surprised when he got the manuscript revised by Zhu Bian. He thought Xiao Yu was just reading it, but he didn't expect that he revised it himself, and even wrote an article himself.

After the modification, Xiao Yu discussed with Wang Qi about the typesetting. The newspaper paper must be specific to Zhifang, and it needs to be large to be able to carry so much content.

Xiao Yu also said: "Newspaper articles will have a very wide audience in the future. It is recommended to separate them with sentences to avoid ambiguity."

Wang Qi was a bit hard to accept this point: "Sentence punctuation is something that every scholar must learn. I don't think it is necessary to add it, and it is inconvenient when printing."

Xiao Yu disapproved: "What's the inconvenience? Just burn a set of sentences and characters. Newspapers and periodicals are new things, and adding sentences to newspapers and periodicals is just as fresh. People may not get used to it at first, but after a long time, they will definitely accept it naturally. "

The main reason is that Xiao Yu is not used to reading without punctuation marks, and there are no punctuation marks in the memorial. Sometimes he has to guess the meaning of the other party. After all, the lack of punctuation sometimes causes ambiguity.

With sentence reading in newspapers, it is logical to add sentence reading in textbooks, and the speed of knowledge popularization will be greatly accelerated, and children do not need to waste time learning sentence reading.

Wang Qi couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.

At this moment, Xiao Yu felt that it was good to be an emperor, he said what he said, and it was useless for the people below to refute.

However, once the power is not restrained, when you meet an incompetent or cruel tyrant, disaster will come. The fate of the country is all in the hands of the emperor, just like a lottery. It is too difficult for the common people.So we still have to find a way to restrain the monarchy.

Pei Linzhi's health was much better, he was not able to train for the time being, so he went to help Xiao Yu run errands and do some chores.For example, the supervisor renovated the tea house with theatrical stage, and went to the brothel women to select talented women to form a literary troupe.

The rehearsal of the art troupe was still handed over to the experienced Xiang Yang.

Xiao Yu is very insensitive to feelings, and everyone around him regards his feelings as respect or love. He is seriously lacking in self-knowledge of his masculine charm, and has no self-awareness at all.

So Pei Linzhi was very distressed, and was always on guard against all rivals in love. Fortunately, Xiao Yu was a high-ranking man, and those who had admiration for him did not dare to express their admiration for him easily.

It is a good thing that Xiao Yu is slow, if he knows that there are so many people around him who admire him and want to climb into his bed, it will only increase his troubles.

Xiao Yu didn't notice it, but Pei Linzhi couldn't let this happen. He always wanted to support Xiangyang, but now he found a reason.

Even if Xiang Yang is not willing, he can't refuse, who told him to do this before.

The day when the first issue of "Xinghuo" was released coincided with the opening day of the teahouse Yipinxiang.

There is a big difference between Yipinxiang and Yimingshe. The most notable is that there is an extra stage, where there are people playing piano and singing. Secondly, tea is more expensive. The same tea sells for three to five yuan at Yimingshe. It costs ten or twenty yuan, and the most expensive one can be sold for hundreds of yuan a pot.

In addition, the refreshments of Yipinxiang are much richer and more varied.

To put it bluntly, Yiming Club is a place for scholars to read and communicate, with a public welfare nature, and Yipinxiang is to make money, not to mention that Yipinxiang has young ladies playing piano and singing, which is a high-end enjoyment.

In this way, the customers of Yiming Club and Yipinxiang are distinguished, and Yiming Club is still reserved for scholars who are really motivated, and those dudes will go to Yipinxiang to continue their dudes.

Scholars want to go to Yipinxiang to experience the unique style. It’s okay to spend an extra ten or twenty yuan, as long as you are willing to pay.

For the regular customers of Yiming Club, the opening of Yipinxiang is not news to them, but the "Xinghuo" newspaper that Yiming Club is selling is the breaking news.

These scholars have read books since childhood, and all they read are manuscripts. What they learn are the booklets of classics, histories, anthologies, and collections.

If I can get a book other than this one by chance, I don’t know how rare it is. I will definitely swallow it whole first, then chew it over and over again, copy it, and annotate it.

For scholars, every paper with words on it should be read carefully and cherished. What did they see today?A kind of thing that has never been heard of. It is not appropriate to call it a book, because it has only one sheet. The shopkeeper of the teahouse said that it is called a "newspaper".

There is not just one such newspaper, but countless copies, and each one is exactly the same. How is this possible!Which copyist can have such a stable performance!And copied so many copies!

The shopkeeper smiled and explained that it was printed.That is, the published content is carved out, and then printed repeatedly one by one.

This printing technique is completely inconceivable to today's scholars, and books can still be produced in this way!

Although there is only one copy of "Spark", the price is extremely affordable, and you can buy a copy for only one penny. It is so cheap that it is simply amazing.

Although the content is repetitive, friends can borrow from each other, but all the guests of the teahouse have a copy, and some people even bought several copies, and they want to bring a copy to their fathers and brothers at home.

Only 1000 copies of the inaugural issue of "Xinghuo" were printed, and officials from the DPRK and China distributed one copy for free, but only more than [-] copies were sold on the market.

But the newspaper was sold out in just one day, and countless people came to Yimingsha to ask if there was any newspaper for sale, almost breaking the threshold.

As a last resort, Lin Haisheng had to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask when the stock would be restocked. After getting a reply, he hung a notice on the door saying "Today's newspaper is sold out, if you want to buy it tomorrow", he was about to faint. rescued.

Overnight, "Have you read the newspaper?" has almost become the first sentence that Panyu people meet when they meet.

The "Spark" newspaper was reprinted overnight, and another thousand copies were printed, but it was still sold out early the next day.

"Spark" was so popular, Xiao Yu didn't expect it. After all, the number of tea customers in Yiming Club was only a few hundred at most. He thought that two thousand copies would be enough, but he didn't expect that he couldn't resist people's enthusiasm. It seems that there are quite a few scholars in the city.

It is a good sign that so many people read the newspaper, which shows that everyone loves to study.

A few days later, Wang Qi reported in the court hall: "Your Majesty Qizuo, [-] copies of the first issue of "Xinghuo" have been printed, and they are sold out. Do you want to print more?"

Xiao Yu said: "Since it is so popular, let's print another [-] copies, and arrange carriages and horses to be sent to all counties and counties, as well as Yazhou and Jiaozhou, and each school will distribute a copy."

Min Chong said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not an exaggeration to print tens of thousands more copies."

"Why did Min Aiqing say that?" Xiao Yu asked.

Min Chong said: "I think that if "Xinghuo" is so popular in Panyu, it should have the same effect on the scholars in Anguo. If they can be sent to the scholars in Anguo, I don't know how many insightful people will yearn for it. Guangzhou. If His Majesty wants to recruit talents, he will surely find them at your fingertips."

Wang Qi, Sun Fei and others also agreed: "Master Min's words are very true, congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

Xiao Yu said: "Since this is the case, let's print another [-] copies according to what Min Aiqing said. It's just that the paper workshop and the printing workshop have to work hard."

What Min Chong mentioned is very important. This is tantamount to the penetration of ideology. Even if the newspaper does not sell money and is given to scholars in Anguo for nothing, it is still his profit. This newspaper firstly shows their advanced productivity, and secondly spreads it. His ideas of governance and governance.

For scholars, a place with movable type printing is like a paradise.

Wang Qi was full of enthusiasm. He decided to expand the scale of the printing workshop, recruit more craftsmen, burn more typefaces, and print multiple editions at the same time, which would neither delay the printing of newspapers nor the printing of teaching materials.

One month after the inaugural issue of "Xinghuo" was released, it finally appeared in the hands of scholars in Jianye.

Overnight, "Spark" became the hottest topic in Jianye City. If there are still people who haven't watched "Spark", they must be out of date.
