Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 671 on the general trend of the world

Because the prices of these books are slightly lower than the market price, especially the "Thousand-Character Essay", which is cheaper than many enlightenment books, and she prints a large number of books without hiding anything. Wherever the team can go, they will take this book as a souvenir and sell it everywhere.

  Such a large amount of sales made Zhao Hanzhang gain the favor of many scholars, and also made her name more firmly remembered.

  Aristocratic families monopolize knowledge, but at present, there are not many aristocratic families who consciously monopolize knowledge. They simply cherish the books handed down by their ancestors and are unwilling to spread knowledge.

  They are reluctant to spread their own knowledge, but they are still willing to spread the knowledge of other families.

  So later, with the "Analects of Confucius" and other enlightenment books that came with "Thousand Characters", they not only were willing to collect a printed copy of Zhao's Bookstore, but also willing to explain to them with some handouts.

  But Zhao Hanzhang thinks it is not enough.

   She needs more talent and prestige.

  She was also very courageous, and directly dug out a few agricultural books, books on craftsman skills, and military books to the bookstore.

   Now Zhao's bookstore and paper shop have opened to Chen County.

  Different from other workshops, bookstores and paper workshops are currently only available in Xiping and Chen counties, and books from other places are mostly imported from these two places.

  Zhao Hanzhang handed the book to the bookstore and said: "When it is published, each book will be published in three thousand copies and handed over to the manager of Zhenbao Pavilion."

  The steward of Zhenbao Pavilion will let various merchants send it out.

   Fishing, of course, what kind of bait is used to catch what kind of fish.

   But it was not enough. Zhao Hanzhang wrote a letter to the emperor sincerely while watching her people work hard to dig dams and canals.

  Under natural disasters, no place can be spared. Starting next year, the places north of the Central Plains will usher in waves of disasters.

  Including the Bingzhou and Jizhou areas occupied by Liu Yuan.

   Even the biggest disaster is in Jizhou.

  The drought started from Youzhou and Jizhou, and the plague of locusts also started from Youzhou and Jizhou. The army of migrating locusts would travel from Youzhou and Jizhou to the west and south, and no grass would grow wherever they passed.

The disaster will spread to Bingzhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou and Qinzhou, as well as the northern area of ​​Yuzhou. The people of the six states and the Han people in the northern part of Yuzhou will suffer terribly. They have been suffering from food shortages for several years. .

   Logically speaking, Zhao Han would not be able to get anything good, but at that time, Zhao Han became ruthless, not only forcibly expropriating food, grass and horses, but also forcibly imposing military service.

  So Yongjia is only five years old.

   But now, the king of the East China Sea died two years earlier, and the emperor moved the capital and left Luoyang. She didn't know what her fate would be.

  But people can migrate, and Luoyang can change hands, but natural disasters will not change.

  So she has to take precautions, not only she, but the emperor should also let the states take precautions.

  But what she wants to write is not just about natural disasters. Even if she wants to compete in the world, she doesn't want to grab the emperor's position. She hopes that he can still sit in that position safely.

  One day in his presence, the world will be temporarily stable for one day.

So Zhao Hanzhang wrote the general trend of the world to the emperor, telling him that although Liu Yuan is ambitious, you also have me and General Gou Xi, and he can't fight for the time being, so we should take this opportunity to develop agriculture more, appease the people, and accumulate food widely. Strengthen the city wall to prevent Zhao Han from attacking south again one day;

He also told him that you are the co-lord of the world, and the people are still suffering from famine, so we can’t spare time, but it’s okay, let’s appease the people first, let them farm with peace of mind, store more food, and then attack the north in one fell swoop when we are stronger. Get back the lost ground.

   Going around, it’s still one way, appease the people more, store more food, and save more money.

  Zhao Hanzhang wrote his own suggestions, hoping that the emperor would issue an imperial edict to appease the people of the world, especially the people of Yanzhou, to eliminate their fear, lighten the tax and pay less, cultivate more fields, and store more grain, just in case...

Zhao Hanzhang wrote a lot, and finally gave the book to the bookstore first, and said to them: "Carve it out, print more, and send it to schools, so that they can appease the people and persuade farmers and mulberry when they support the construction of water conservancy in various places. "

  The bookstore was stunned when they got the brochure, and asked, "How many copies of this will be printed?"

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let's get a thousand copies first."

  The bookstore heaved a sigh of relief, printing quite a lot, but he was quite afraid, fearing that too few would be printed, which would not be worthwhile.

  The craftsmen sculpted according to the booklet, and Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help worrying, "In the future, if I want to publish official documents in the school, I will have to engrave them one by one, which will not only waste time, but also waste materials."

  Fu Tinghan said: "Movable type printing requires a lot of people who can read and write, and it cannot be widely used at present. Wait for another two years."

  He said: "In two years, the first batch of students will graduate. They can read most of the characters and can work in bookstores."

  Zhao Hanzhang touched his chin and said, "Three years, don't they finish reading the characters?"

  Fu Tinghan looked up at her.

   "Okay, I was too hasty, okay, then I'll wait another two years, but has the bookstore mastered movable type printing?"

  Fu Tinghan said: "Hu Jin has tried wooden movable type and clay movable type. I asked him to find tin, lead and copper for him, and asked him to try one by one."

  For movable type printing, Fu Tinghan, like Zhao Hanzhang, knows the general principle, but it is not easy to make it. After all, whoever does it knows the details.

  He can only give it to Hu Jin to lead the craftsmen to study, and it is up to them to see what they can do.

"Clay movable type can be used now, but because there are not many people who can read, typesetting is also very difficult. At present, it is only used in Xiping, and no one in Chen County can do it." Fu Tinghan said: "I will let Hu Jin Cultivate two respectfully and send them to Chen County."

  Zhao Hanzhang was about to talk about this, but Fu Tinghan picked it up unexpectedly. She gave him an approving look and asked, "How about I run a bookstore in Luoyang?"

   "It's not that good," Fu Tinghan said, "I can help you build the Zhifang, but I really can't squeeze out the bookstore."

  Bookstore craftsmen are the hardest to find and train.

  Zhao Hanzhang could only regret, and then continued to stare at the teenagers in the school in a daze. These are all talents, and all walks of life need them.

  The bookstore took two days to carve the booklet, and then began to polish, ink, and print...

  When Zhao Hanzhang's papers were sent to Yuncheng, the printed manuscripts were also put in the schools in various counties and counties, and at the same time circulated out of the schools, and were copied and sent to various places.

Her students are very fond of her true biography. After reading the scriptures, they immediately understood what she meant. When they were sent out to support the construction of water conservancy, they would work while talking to the servants and day laborers. s reason.

  Tell them that the Lord wants everyone to farm more conveniently, so that they can deal with natural disasters in the future. In order to allow you to store more food, the Lord will reduce taxes Barabara...

  However, the focus of outsiders is different from that of Zhao Hanzhang and his students. They focus on Zhao Hanzhang's views on the general trend of the world in the first half.
