Zhang Jingyi was very happy and left the palace excitedly.

He had been waiting for this day long ago.

It took several months for the book I compiled. When I have time, I will think about it. After thinking about it, I will write down my own things, and then carefully consider it. I will see if it is suitable or not, so I will compile it.

The key is that this book...has no one else to count on except himself.

Because of this...

That's why Zhang Jingyi spent countless efforts.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty was that it was short of money and land mergers, so naturally it was necessary to have civil and military play.

But what else?

There is also the Confucian monopoly on knowledge.

They held the banner of saints and not only monopolized the ability to learn knowledge.

The real terrible thing is that they monopolize the right to speak in knowledge, that is, master the standards for measuring knowledge.

And this is really terrible. They actually adopt cultural autocracy in the name of saints.

What is the standard?

The standard is that what books they say are evil books, what books are evil books, what they say is serious knowledge, then what they say is serious knowledge.

And this... is precisely the most terrifying thing.

If you don’t solve this problem, any doubts you have about them will be pulled into the knowledge level they have set, and then they will use their rich experience to quote the classics and hammer you to death.

The reason why Zhang Jingyi brought the emperor into the gang was very simple. He directly created a huge influence on the books he wanted to edit.

The emperor is the best and most shiny sign in the world.

So after Zhang Jingyi's purpose of entering the palace this time was achieved, he rushed to the new district of Xinxian County without stopping.

There is a printing workshop here.

On weekdays, I mainly help print and distribute some books and publications from military academy.

Of course...the printing volume is not large.

In fact, this is understandable. In this era, people who can really read and write, they don’t care about the content printed in the printing workshop.

After all, military academy needs a small amount.

So basically, this printing workshop is maintained by the government offices of Xinxian County and is in a semi-open state all year round.

At this time, the printed woodblocks were already ready. Because the printed book is a fixed, there is no need for copper characters. The advantage of printing copper characters is flexibility. In terms of convenience, it is better to print fixed woodblocks.

Zhang Jingyi gave an order, so everyone became busy.

The craftsmen took the carving plates, prepared the ink, and then prepared the white paper.

After a moment, there were ink traces on the white paper, and for a moment... dozens of craftsmen in the entire workshop were so busy.

The next day, the first edition of the book began to contact the book shop in Xinxian.

The owner of the book shop saw people from Xinxian County Government coming to the door and asked them to sell books. He dared not to agree. He smiled and replied with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Liu Dong's family in Liu Jishu Store is eager to sell the yamen.

But... after taking this book.

He was stunned.

But I saw the cover of the book clearly saying: "Hundreds of thousands of why?"

Why?

What exactly is this and why?

The Liu Dong family has never seen such a book, but looking at the bottom, there is also an inscription written: Emperor Tianqi, written by Zhang Jingyi, the Marquis of Xinxian.

As soon as he saw this, Liu Dongjia suddenly felt that his hands trembled and he almost couldn't hold them firmly.

The emperor...the emperor...the editor of the marquis of Xinxian County...

Then, he quickly turned on the first page and was stunned again.

This is really a book of ‘why’?

The first page reads: Why is there lightning?

lightning……

The more you look at the Liu Dong family, the more you feel it is strange.

The answer inside made him so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Because it is so mysterious that there is any charge in the clouds, after friction... lightning is bred...

Why does this... look like the Classic of Mountains and Seas?

Next... he continued to watch: Why does the water boil when it boils...

What a mess!

The Liu Dong family was speechless for a moment.

I originally thought that His Majesty and the Marquis of Xinxian had written some good articles, so I used this to bind them into books, or wanted to be artful and elaborate, so I excerpted some poems.

I don't know...there are all these mysterious things inside, oh, and copper and iron can conduct electricity...

Wasn't this electricity released by the Thunderbolt and the Electrode?

Liu Dongjia shook his head in his heart, but when he looked up, he still smiled at the civil servant and said intimately: "This book is sold by students, but it is hard to say whether it can be sold or not."

"This is okay." The clerk expressed his understanding.

In this way, the Liu Dong family didn't care much about it. What if he didn't care about it, put it on first. I just sold books, so what books should I sell?

So he put the book on the bookshelf, then took a charcoal pen and wrote in front of the door: The new book is on the market, written by the emperor, the new county marquis...

Soon, the entire capital was in an uproar.

The emperor writes a book?

And the Xinxian Hou, which has been the most popular recently?

So many people went to watch the fun, and the major book shops actually surrounded many people.

Someone endured the pain and spent more than ten cents to buy the book.

Then, I went to see it excitedly.

When I saw it, I was completely confused. What is the writing?

What kind of messy things are they?

No, right? No, right? This was actually compiled by His Majesty and the Marquis of Xinxian?

Are these two illiterate?

Speaking of which, in people's eyes, there is really no difference between illiteracy.

Because the words inside are almost all direct spoken language, and beautiful words do not exist...

That's it...

…………

Hongwen Academy.

There are many scholars in Hongwen Academy.

The owner of the academy has the surname Li, and his name is one word.

Li Wen was rich in learning and was very famous. Many scholars rushed to join him to study.

Of course, it was the late Ming Dynasty, and academies were very popular, especially after Donglin Academy was at its peak, opening academies and accepting scholars became popular.

This is not only the result of teaching and educating people, but also the place where readers comment on current affairs.

Li Wen is quite famous in Beijing, so many people come here to see him.

As usual, he summoned scholars to Minglun Hall for morning classes as soon as possible.

But this morning, he just sat down.

But a student stood up and said, "Sir, the student wants to ask for advice. I wonder what Mr. thinks about the books compiled by His Majesty and the Marquis of Xinxian?"

Li Wen was stunned.

But many students were already snickering.

Li Wendao: "What book, I am ignorant."

So the student took out a book from his sleeve.

The other students laughed even harder.

Li Wen took the book and felt strange. He couldn't help but say, "What, is Your Majesty humble and easy to learn now?"
