Chapter 614 Peasant Woman 42
At the same time, Tan You finally led people to create movable type printing and woodblock printing. Although movable type printing is convenient, it requires careful checking every time it is typed.
It is more suitable for printing those unique copies.
As for woodblock printing, as long as there is a template, its printing speed is faster than movable type printing. Of course, it also has flaws, that is, it has extremely high requirements on the template, and it is easy to damage the template if you are not careful.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but it has to be said that with these two printing technologies, the production efficiency of the printing workshop has been greatly improved. And soon, the news that Youzhou's books were of high quality and low price spread along with the caravan.
This news was naturally known to countless people, especially the imperial court and major aristocratic families. After two years, although the imperial court was weak, it was located in the hinterland, so it naturally paid attention to the surrounding news.
For example, in the north of Yunzhou, after defeating the Beirong Army, the imperial court proposed to recruit Tan You. Everyone can see the power of gunpowder. If there is gunpowder, it can suppress the rebellion around It is easy to rebel against a thief.
But where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, so this proposal was naturally rejected. It's just that as of now, it's no longer possible to recruit anyone. Tan You regained the area to the north of the grassland. Just the area of Yunzhou, Youzhou, Dingzhou, Linzhou and other four states, plus the grassland, now Tan You controls an area of territory that is enough for everyone in the court to covet.
Of course the imperial court also sent people to recruit people, but what was the result? The envoys seeking peace were kicked out of Youzhou and even robbed. As for whether it was done by people from Youzhou, who cares?
It’s just that Tan You has never been the king. After taking back the grassland, she calmed down. Everything was still managed by her eldest daughter, who herself went to the workshop.
Naturally, this news cannot be hidden from others. In such a large area, there will always be spies from all walks of life. Especially now that there are so many caravans going to Youzhou, such news naturally spreads along with the caravans.
The Prime Minister's voice was solemn: "The price of books has dropped. In the future, there will be more and more scholars in the world, and after this, Youzhou will become a holy place for poor students."
The Minister of Rites also said: "Especially the four-part sentence, which almost points out the future direction for scholars."
Officials such as the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel also frowned, "From now on, reading is no longer an aristocratic family. It’s exclusive to the disciples, it’s so good at winning people’s hearts.”
This naturally infringes on the interests of the aristocratic families, but what can these aristocratic families do? Is it possible to go to Tan You to reason? As long as they dare to take action, what awaits them will be criticism from all poor students.
The emperor on the throne is a complete puppet. He just sits on the throne and looks at the worried ministers below. Is there a more miserable emperor in the world than him? Of course not, he is a minister and he can almost ride on his head.
The emperor yawned boredly. He was a puppet, not a fool. Now, he hopes that Tan You can stand on his own feet and clean up this mess as soon as possible.
As for himself, he didn’t want to live anyway. The reason why he is now this puppet is simply because he wants to see the final outcome.
And discussions about affordable books are still happening in countless places across this land, and the most excited ones are naturally civilian students from all walks of life. If ordinary students want to make progress, money is the first hurdle that stands in their way.
Even if you have plenty of money, there is no way to get rid of the white body. Because in this era there were no imperial examinations at all, they were all examinations. Officials are all selected from aristocratic families, completely eliminating the path for civilians to make progress.
As a result, there is a huge gap between the common people and the aristocratic families, and it is drawn unilaterally by the aristocratic families. Now I heard that there are affordable books in Youzhou, and there are even many unique classics. Can this not make civilian students excited? And Tan You just didn't become the king, but the territory she controlled now was the largest among the heroes.
At the same time, the Yunzhou Army is the most elite and the most disciplined army. Its record is also very brilliant. It once defeated the Beirong with less than 10,000 troops. Even with the help of the power of gunpowder, this was still a battle in which a small number defeated a large number. It is still talked about today.
With a strong military strength and so much territory, it is now showing signs of thirst for talents...
So countless scholars are rushing to Youzhou, in addition to wanting to gain In addition to the knowledge in books, they also intend to find a way to change their background in Youzhou.
What can Chen Xi do? Of course she opened the city gate wide to welcome us. With the arrival of these scholars, she has many more people she can use. A-niang said, it’s not scary if others have petty ideas, as long as you grasp their weaknesses and lure them with benefits, that’s enough.
Chen Xi does the same thing. Scholars want affordable books and want to gain more knowledge. She specially invited the great scholars from Luming Academy to give open classes.
And this open class is not free, you have to redeem it with points. Where do the points come from? They can obtain it by doing things for the government office or making suggestions to the government office.
The simplest thing is to go to various villages to educate people about illiteracy.
In short, if students want to survive in Youzhou, they must obtain it through their abilities. Although it is a bit harsh, for those students, this is already an excellent opportunity.
After all, most people who come here for free will not cherish it. Tan You's place is already much easier than other places. At least as long as you have the ability, you can always survive in Youzhou in the end.
For example, there are people who have obtained clerical jobs in government offices through their own abilities. Although he is not a serious official in the imperial court, this is already very good.
Tan You has not been crowned king for a long time, and at the same time there are so many operations in Youzhou, everyone can see what Tan You means. If she doesn't become king, everyone will have no reason to attack her, but it's not easy to get Yunzhou and Youzhou, because the Yunzhou army is really difficult to deal with.
Time flies and two years have passed, and the north of Yunzhou has almost become a paradise. In areas outside Yunzhou, almost everyone is in dire straits. Countless people migrated to Yunzhou, hoping to settle down in Yunzhou.
The vassal kings are all jealous, so how can they care about the people under their command? It is really not an exaggeration to describe the situation as devastated and destitute.
Chen Xi was more compassionate: "Auntie, those people are so pitiful. It's so difficult to survive in troubled times."
Tan You also feels uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable she is, she still has her own problems. stance: “If we had entered the game rashly before, , will only become a target for everyone to set fire to. The governance of Yunzhou and Youzhou has finally allowed everyone to live a stable life. If the war breaks out again, it will bring countless disasters to them. "
