In the final analysis, the time is too short. If Jiang Pengji is given another year or two, she will be able to cultivate a group of basic and low-level talents. As for the backbone talents, the training period is even longer, and she can only use recruitment orders to recruit people who can be loyal to her.
Guan Rang lowered his head and flipped through the booklet, only to see the big item [Governance] followed by several smaller items.
[Recruitment Order] is one of the small items, followed by the word [Bookstore].
Jiang Pengji said, "Just relying on the recruitment order, I'm afraid that the world won't be tempted, so I plan to announce a major decision."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
When the lord is not in trouble, the things that come out can make them tremble with fear.
Now that it is stated that it is going to cause a major incident, how can it be small
Jiang Pengji didn't say anything else, she motioned Shangguan Wan to get something.
It was also served on a plate, but the previous booklets were light and thin, and the books that were brought out now had a lot of weight.
"These books are for the enlightenment of the children of the academy. In addition to the main text, there are also notes carefully organized by Mr. Cheng Cheng."
Hearing his father's name, Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up for a while. After he was assigned a book, he hurriedly opened it.
After reading the contents, Cheng Yuan understood why his father always walked with the wind in recent days, as if he was radiating the second spring in his life.
The characters are relatively thick, only a little smaller than a copper coin. It looks very relaxed, neither strenuous nor hurting the eyes.
The words of the annotations are smaller and thinner than the main text, and the content is all in vernacular. Even ordinary people can understand it after reading it once.
In addition to that, there are odd little symbols between each sentence.
Feng Jin faintly discovered something, he couldn't wait to read it in a low voice, and when he came across those strange symbols, he paused subconsciously, and Huo Di understood the function of the symbols—these symbols were all used to break sentences! Looking at the repeated symbols, he took a sharp breath. Obviously, these symbols were not scribbles, each symbol represented a specific meaning.
Not only Feng Jin, but Yang Si and others also discovered it.
Qi Guanrang forcibly suppressed his turbulent mood, flicked his fingers, quickly turned a few pages, and found that this enlightenment book was not empty talk.
The format is unified, or three characters are in a sentence, or four characters are in a line, and the reading is catchy.
The text is popular, smooth and easy to remember, including common sense, traditional Chinese studies, historical stories and positive life principles.
These books are naturally the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and other textbooks that Jiang Pengji asked from the audience many years ago.
However, except for "Hundred Family Surnames", other textbooks have been changed beyond recognition by Jiang Pengji.
Because the history of the audience's plane is different from the history of her world, many phrases and allusions cannot be used.
Jiang Pengji has a good memory and can be called a well-read, so she simply modified and deleted according to the template.
Not only did she cut off allusions that did not exist, but she also eliminated those extreme and ignorant thoughts one by one.
Take the essence and get rid of the dross.
After some major changes, she also added a lot of content in this world, such as the deeds of Xu Gong in the previous dynasty.
She gave Cheng Cheng the draft after the major revision. Cheng Cheng read it and was so excited that he couldn't control it, so he overhauled the textbook for the second time.
Taking the "Three Character Classic" as an example, the original version of the textbook only had more than 1,110 words. After Jiang Pengji and Cheng Cheng worked together to make a major revision, it was expanded to 3,656 words! Cheng Cheng also took Wanxuan, a great scholar of the imperial edict, to annotate it, clarifying the connotation of each sentence.
With some changes, the first edition of the Enlightenment Textbook has 21 books in one set!
After a cursory look at the crowd, there was only one thought in their minds—
This set of books can make people bankrupt, right
Don't think that their idea is exaggerated. If Jiang Pengji hadn't tossed the rice paper, it would have been easy to go bankrupt.
Nowadays, the mainstream writing materials are still mainly bamboo slips, some extravagant ones use silk books, and the extravagant people use bamboo paper.
In fact, before the appearance of Hejian bamboo paper, the nobles used Caihou paper, which was worth thousands of gold.
Bamboo paper is technically improved on the basis of Caihou paper, which is by no means the first.
Otherwise, with Gu Min alone, how can such precious papermaking technology be preserved
Bamboo paper has material limitations, which makes mass production difficult. The rice paper made by Jiang Pengji is made of cypress sandalwood, and the rice paper produced is better than what the audience saw. As for Bai Tan, this thing has a tenacious vitality and a short growth cycle. Once the saplings are planted, they can be used as raw materials for rice paper in two or three years. Chongzhou is full of cypress, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Pengji asked Liu She to go to Chongzhou.
In other words, the value of this set of books is far less than everyone imagines.
After everyone had read it, Jiang Pengji said, "This set of books will be used as a textbook for the students of the academy in the future."
Everyone had no objection, only Dian Yin had an opinion.
"My lord, can you... go to the academy to study for a few days?"
Dian Yin worked hard to learn Chinese characters, but the study did not take effect in a day or two. He was also busy training troops on weekdays, so there was not much time.
However, seeing such a large set of books, he felt that he had no time to make time to learn.
He wanted to put this set of books away and pass it on as a family heirloom.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "There is no end to learning. Deputy Colonel Dian has this ambition, and it is naturally worthy of encouragement."
Dian Yin blushed slightly, and made up his mind to live up to the master's high expectations.
She added, "This set of books is not only intended to provide enlightenment to schoolchildren, but I also intend to use it as a gift to give to celebrities all over the world."
Qi Guanrang glanced at the title page of the "Three Character Classic" book, and immediately understood the master's intention, and couldn't help but smile.
The title page is very clean, with only a few elegant and handsome characters written—authors: Wang Yinglin, Liu Xi, commenters: Cheng Cheng.
Jiang Pengji didn't want to put her name on it, but there is no such person as Wang Yinglin in the world, and she can't clearly say that Wang Yinglin is the original author of "Three Character Classic". In order to block Yoyo's public voice, after some entanglement, she could only infer that she had met this person by chance before and got inspiration from him.
Other enlightenment textbooks are treated in the same way.
Qi Guanrang admits that his lord is a man of courage.
This set of books is given to celebrities all over the world, not for anything else, but only for two words - build momentum!
Once recognized by celebrities all over the world, this set of books will be pushed to the altar.
Also pushed to the altar, there are people who left their names on this set of books.
A real godsend!
What do scholars in the world desire most
But the four words of fame and fortune.
The so-called celebrities are people who are famous but not officials.
Among this group of people, some people are really dignified and do not want to be an official, and some people want to be an official but are not qualified, and can only find another way to open up their reputation. As long as they have a reputation, people will naturally come to levy, and once they accept the levy, they will enter the official career.
However, being an official is just for a while, what can be compared to writing books and writing works, famous for thousands of years
Qi Guanrang can be sure that his lord is really going to make a big move.
