Chapter 182 Mixed praise and criticism, the book is printed
ps: The power went out in the early morning and I had to come to the evening. Jazz had just arrived at the Internet cafe, and there were two buckets of instant noodles next to it.
The fourth update is still the same today, and it will never be interrupted!!!
...
In the Imperial College, Ma Su put away the textbooks and hurried out.
"Ma Su, why are you so anxious? Is there a matchmaker coming to your door today?"
Since Fang Xing defeated Hong Bingzheng in the Imperial College, Ma Su's situation has improved a lot, so some people are willing to approach him.
When Ma Su turned around and saw that he was a familiar classmate, he nodded and said, "My teacher is editing books, I have to go back and help."
"oh!"
Before the Ma Su people arrived in Fangjiazhuang, the news began to spread from the Imperial College.
"He wants to edit books? You're not amusing you?"
"How much time does it take to edit books? How much does it cost and grain? He is a small Fangjiazhuang. Can he find so many scholars? Then I will swallow all the books he compiled alive!"
In this era, the editing of books requires extensive citations. Once there is a loophole, the reputation will become a terrible one.
Therefore, Fang Xing's behavior was interpreted by the outside world as "young and frivolous" and "want to be famous and crazy."
There is an undercurrent in the outside world, but Fang Xing is still slowly "writing books".
"Talk about it."
Fang Xing asked Ma Su to prepare to copy.
"I want to let literate people learn this math."
Ma Su was shocked. Who is not developing in an obscure direction now? If not, how can the editors’ writing skills be shown?
"Are you going to break the sentence?"
Using punctuation marks to break sentences is not an invention. Some people have done this for a long time, but most literati are not happy.
If you break all the articles, how can you let me wait?
In fact, constant sentences also contain the meaning of knowledge monopoly. Think about it, even if you are literate, if you don’t have the teacher’s guidance, how can you know the meaning from the continuous words?
It was like an imperial edict. Fang Xing had always thought it was: to follow the heavens and inherit the fortune. The emperor said, but after one edict that day, he realized it was: to follow the heavens and inherit the fortune. The emperor said.
This is the trick of the pronunciation. The only benefit is probably that it can support a lot of textual research parties.
Ma Su looked through the book that he had just 'edited' and said respectfully: "Teacher, you can compile a book in a few days. This speed is definitely the best in the Ming Dynasty."
So just a few days later, Ma Su returned to her original rhythm.
"Ma Su, aren't you going to help your teacher edit books?"
A sarcastic classmate asked sarcastically.
Ma Su replied: "My teacher's book is ready."
I said!
So fast?
Everyone, including the professor who had just walked to the door, stopped.
The atmosphere stopped for a while, and a student asked, "Ma Su, what book did your teacher compile?"
"Mathematics." Ma Su put away the book and said proudly: "That is, arithmetic."
"oh!"
After a relaxed sigh, everyone stopped paying attention to Ma Su.
"Arithmetic is just a small way, how can it compare to my Confucian subtle words and meanings!"
"I don't think even the trail is worthy, at most it's just the accountants who learn it."
“…”
Fang Xing wrote about arithmetic. After this was spread, those who ridiculed and disdained felt that it was even more absurd.
"I thought he would publish a collection of articles, but I didn't expect it to be this one! I'm willing to fall into depravity!"
"The prince's son can't learn it... this, right?"
"It's boring! I wanted to wait for him to find out the problem when publishing a book, but if it's arithmetic, then forget it."
“…”
It is difficult for outside discussion to affect Fang Xing, who is not very much away. He handed over the first volume of mathematics he had written to Zhu Zhanji.
"This is just a textbook for beginners, but after learning this book, it is still more than enough to be an accountant."
Zhu Zhanji looked over and looked up and said, "Brother Dehua, why don't you finish it all at once?"
“It’s too expensive.”
Fang Xing felt that he must be shrouded in Buddha's light at this moment.
"I hope this book can be afforded by ordinary people, so don't use carved versions, use movable type."
At this time, when literati published books, as long as they were not short of money, they were basically carved versions.
At this time, the movable type printing technology in the Ming Dynasty was already very popular, so why do you have to use the troublesome and expensive carvings?
This involves the problem of literati.
"Mobile type is rigid and rigid, and it is unbearable to the eye!"
If the printing volume is large, the engraving will be damaged soon and you have to continue to carve it.
Zhu Zhanji advised: "Brother Dehua, why don't you leave it to me and I'll find someone to carve it."
"unnecessary."
Fang Xing said firmly: "My book is a reference book, and I don't need the gorgeous fonts like those poems and articles, I just need to popularize them."
This book was presented to Zhu Di's imperial case at the first time.
“Straightforward, simple.”
Fang Xing's book not only uses plain language and sentence symbols, but also lists application questions at the back of each knowledge point, so even Zhu Di looked at it a few times and felt it was easy to learn.
After passing on, several important officials of the government watched them one by one, with different expressions.
"Your Majesty, you have made great contributions to this move."
Hu Guangcha said with a slight expression: "The Ministry of Revenue has to train arithmetic every year when entering people, which is too time-consuming. With this book, at least you can learn basic things by yourself, which can save a lot of trouble."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Fang Xing means that this book is made of movable type and has a low price. It seems that he is not going to make money anymore."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present remembered Fang Xing.
That person used to be very stingy!
Why did you suddenly become generous?
When Fang Xing went to the Ministry of Revenue to teach, he found that all the students had a "first book of mathematics".
So fast?
But this is a good thing, and it is fast, which means that the above values it.
After Fang Xing finished class, he picked up a book casually, looked at the simple cover and smiled.
"Mathematics, the foundation of all learning, must be important and must be learned!"
Originally, Zhu Zhanji invited his prince's father to plan, but in the end it was Fang Xing himself. Otherwise, it would have been heard by those "Great Confucians" that someone would probably come to the imperial city to take a hunger strike and ask His Majesty the Emperor to kill Fang Xing, the demon.
"My nephew Dehua..."
Even Chen Jiahui, who was far away in Peking, wrote a letter to Jinling. In the letter, Chen Jiahui congratulated Fang Xing on the book, but the other party was a little unsatisfied with the way of making sentences and using plain language. Finally, he said that Chen Xiao was already on the way to Jinling and asked Fang Xing to pay attention to him.
Even Chen Jiahui was not very satisfied, and you can imagine how disdainful those scholars were.
"Brother Dehua, the craftsmen in the palace can no longer hold on."
Zhu Zhanji came in with a spring breeze on his face, holding a few math first volumes in his hand, looking much more exquisite than the ones on the market.
"You still have a carved version?"
Fang Xing took it and looked at it, saying a little dissatisfied.
Zhu Zhanji said, "I bought a lot of movable type, but someone wanted the carved version! Even my father has collected dozens of books, but I don't know what he is going to do."
What are you coming?
Of course it's a gift.
In the princess' womb, the princess gave Zhang Fu's second wife a smile, including this exquisitely printed mathematics book.
The second wife returned to the Duke of England and handed the book to Zhang Fu.
"Dude, is your brother-in-law going to become a scholar?"
Zhang Fu took the book and was stunned for a long time and said, "This kid, I'm still worried that others will not look down on his book, but I didn't expect that even the prince was watching him."
Zhang Fu's own Confucianism was not very good, so when Fang Xing published the book, he knew that this book could not be achieved among scholars.
Chapter completed!
