??? [?? 4????? U?,????? The time was still too short. If Jiang Pengji was given another one or two years, she would be able to cultivate a group of talents with a basic foundation. As for the core talents, the cultivation period was even longer. She could only use the recruitment order to recruit people who would be loyal to her.
Qiguan Rang lowered his head and flipped through the book. He saw that there were a few smaller items behind the main item "Governance".
The recruitment order was one of the smaller items, followed by the words "Bookstore".
Jiang Pengji said, "I'm afraid that the recruitment order alone won't be able to tempt the scholars in the world, so I plan to announce an important decision."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
When their lord did not cause trouble, the trouble she caused could make them tremble in fear.
Now it was obvious that she was going to cause trouble. How could it be a small matter?
Jiang Pengji did not say anything else. She gestured for Shangguan Wan to fetch the things.
They were also carried on plates, but the previous books were light and thin. The books that were brought up now were all very heavy.
"These books are for the children of the academy to start learning. In addition to the main text, there are also annotations carefully organized by Mr. Cheng Cheng."
Hearing his father's name, Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up. After getting a book, he hurriedly opened it.
After reading the contents, Cheng Yuan understood why his father always walked with the wind, as if he was radiating the second spring of his life.
The words in the main text were relatively thick, only a little smaller than a copper coin. It looked very easy to read, neither laborious nor harmful to the eyes.
The words in the annotations were smaller and more detailed than the main text. The content was all in the vernacular. Even an ordinary person could understand it after reading it once.
In addition, there were small strange symbols between each sentence.
Feng Jin vaguely discovered something. He could not wait to read it again in a low voice. When he encountered those strange symbols, he subconsciously paused. He suddenly understood the function of the symbols — they were all used to punctuate sentences! Looking at the repeated symbols, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. It was obvious that these symbols were not scribbled. Each symbol represented a specific meaning.
Not only Feng Jin, but Yang Si and the others also noticed it.
Qiguan Rang forcibly suppressed his surging emotions. His fingers swiped across the pages and he quickly flipped through a few pages. He discovered that this primer was not empty talk.
The format was uniform. It could be three words in a sentence, or four words in a line. It was easy to read.
The text was popular, easy to read, and easy to remember. It included common sense, traditional Sinology, historical stories, and positive life principles.
These books were naturally the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and other teaching materials that Jiang Pengji had obtained from the audience many years ago.
However, other than the Hundred Family Names, Jiang Pengji had changed the other teaching materials beyond recognition.
Because the history of the audience's dimension was different from the history of her world, many phrases and allusions could not be used.
Jiang Pengji had a good memory and could be said to be well-read. She simply followed the template and modified it.
Not only did she have to eliminate the non-existent allusions, but she also had to eliminate the extreme and ignorant thoughts one by one.
Extract the essence and discard the dregs.
After some major changes, she also added a lot of content about this world, such as the deeds of Xu Gong of the previous dynasty.
She gave the draft after the major changes to Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng read it and was so excited that he could not control himself. He made a second major change to the teaching materials.
Taking the Three Character Classic as an example, the original version of the teaching materials had more than 1,100 words. After Jiang Pengji and Cheng Cheng worked together to make major changes, it was expanded to 3,656 words! Cheng Cheng even asked the Zhongzhao Great Scholar Wan Xuan to annotate it and clarify the meaning of each sentence.
After some changes, the first edition of the basic teaching materials had a total of 21 books!
After a cursory look, there was only one thought in everyone's mind: r
This set of books was enough to make people go bankrupt, right?
Don't think that they were exaggerating. If Jiang Pengji did not play around with rice paper, going bankrupt would be considered a light punishment.
Nowadays, the mainstream writing materials were mainly bamboo slips. The more extravagant people used silk books, and the more extravagant people used bamboo paper.
In fact, before the appearance of bamboo paper in Hejian, the nobles and gentry used the valuable Cai Hou paper.
Bamboo paper was technically improved on the basis of Cai Hou paper. It was by no means the first.
Otherwise, how could Gu Min keep such a precious paper-making technique?
Bamboo paper had a material limitation and was difficult to mass produce. Jiang Pengji's rice paper was made from sandalwood. The rice paper produced was better than what the audience had imagined. As for sandalwood, it had a strong vitality and a short growth cycle. After the sapling was planted, it could be used as raw material for rice paper in two or three years. Chongzhou was full of sandalwood. This was one of the reasons why Jiang Pengji asked Liu She to go to Chongzhou.
In other words, the value of this set of books was far less than what everyone had imagined.
After everyone had roughly looked through it, Jiang Pengji said, "This set of books will be the teaching materials for the academy's students to use in the future."
No one had any objections, only Dian Yan had one.
"My lord, can I … also go to the academy to study for a few days?"
Dian Yan worked hard to learn words, but learning was not something that could be seen in a day or two. He still had to train his troops and did not have much time.
However, seeing such a large set of books, he felt that he had to squeeze some time to learn even if he did not have time.
He wanted to keep this set of books properly and pass it down as a family heirloom.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "There is no end to learning. Deputy Captain Dian has such an ambition. Naturally, it is worth encouraging."
Dian Yan blushed slightly. He secretly decided that he would not let his lord down.
She continued, "This set of books is not only for the students to use as a starting point, but I also plan to use it as a gift to the world's famous scholars."
Qiguan Rang glanced at the contents of the title page of the Three Character Classic and immediately understood his lord's intention. He could not help but smile.
The title page was very clean. There were only a few elegant and elegant words — Author: Wang Yinglin, Liu Xi, Commentator: Cheng Cheng.
Jiang Pengji did not want to add her name, but there was no such person as Wang Yinglin in the world. She could not clearly say that Wang Yinglin was the original author of the Three Character Classic. In order to shut everyone's mouths, after some hesitation, she could only say that she had met this person by chance and obtained inspiration from him.
The other teaching materials for beginners were handled in the same way.
Qiguan Rang had to admit that his lord was a person with great courage.
This set of books was given to the world's famous scholars, not for anything else but for one thing — to create momentum!
Once the world's famous scholars approved of it, this set of books would be pushed to the altar.
Similarly, those who left their names on this set of books would be pushed to the altar.
They would truly become gods in one fell swoop!
What did the world's scholars desire the most?
It was only fame and fortune.
The so-called famous scholars, in layman's terms, were those who had fame but did not become officials.
Among this group of people, some were truly noble and had unquestionable integrity. They did not want to become officials. Some wanted to become officials but did not have the qualifications. They could only find another way to make a name for themselves. As long as they had a reputation, there would naturally be people coming to claim them. Once they accepted the claim, they would enter the official career.
However, being an official was only a temporary pleasure. How could it compare to writing books and becoming famous throughout the ages?
