Chapter 3215

Ning Qi does not expect that his speech can change the minds of everyone at Wansong Academy. Based on past experience, if a traditional academy wants to turn around, it will involve the interests of all parties and encounter all kinds of resistance.

It is by no means a goal that can be achieved in a short time.

However, Wansong Academy has never followed the official will as the direction of teaching. Ning Qi has already said that. If many of them are ignorant of current affairs, they may not be able to keep their jobs.

After completing their inspection of the wrong academy, Dean Su Sixiao and others respectfully sent Ning Qi out of the gate.

Before leaving, Ning Qi specially called Su Sixiao to his side and said a few words: "The country has decided to move the capital to Hangzhou, so there will be some southern academies from the east, and they will also open branches in Hangzhou one after another. Those academies will

It will take a long time to teach Haihan science, and we will have more exchanges and exchanges of teaching experiences when the time comes."

Su Sixiao even went to bow to Dong, but in his heart he knew that Ning Qi's words had a deeper meaning.

In the past, Wansong Academy's influence in the Hangzhou area was unique and there were few rivals. However, this situation may be unsustainable in the future.

Their counterparts in the south may not be as good as Wansong Academy in terms of traditional literature and education, but as Ning Qi said, after the Ming Dynasty, the standard for talent recruitment was based on "Hai-Han science", and the teaching level of our counterparts in the south in that field has obviously improved.

Far ahead.

Once their counterparts from the south begin to pour into Hangzhou to open branches, Wansong Academy will face unprecedented competition intensity. And the advantages possessed by the other party are exactly what Wansong Academy currently does not have, not to mention that the official will probably miss those

The academy that obeys the command will give more care.

If Su Sixiao wants to keep the Wansong Academy brand name and strengthen his position in the Hangzhou cultural circle, he may have to bite the bullet and do something he is not happy with. And before that, he probably has to make a mistake first.

There is a round of moderate purges outside the academy to remove some old people with stubborn ideas. Otherwise, many measures will be difficult to implement in the academy.

After leaving Wansong Academy, Ning Qi and his party went to a printing press near the West Lake.

According to local officials, the printing house named "Qingliu" is one of the largest local printing houses in Hangzhou. In addition to printing books, New Year pictures, and flyers, Qingliu Printing House recently opened two bookstores of the same name in Hangzhou.

Also selling books on its own.

In addition, Qingliu Seal is the printing company of Donghai Times in Hangzhou. All Donghai Times published in Hangzhou and the counties under the eastern jurisdiction are typeset and printed by Qingliu Seal, which reflects its industry status.

The name "Qingliu" is not only because the boss's surname is Liu, but also because it is a homophonic pronunciation of "Qingliu", which is a good thing in the cultural circle.

After Ning Qi met Liu Guiming, the owner of the printing company, he had a good impression: "Boss Liu, have you met at the banquet a few days ago?"

Liu Guiming was flattered and responded: "Your Excellency has a good memory. In the month when Your Excellency arrived in Hangzhou, the common people did attend a banquet in honor of all the Excellencies of the Executive Committee."

Ning Qi nodded slightly and said: "He remembers very well that I invited them to come to Qingliu Seal Society to have a look. Now that he is here, please ask me to introduce him to the situation in Yidong!"

Liu Guiming just wanted to have fun at the time and did not think that his invitation would be responded to by the Executive Committee. However, he did not expect that Ning Qi actually came to visit him a few days later.

Liu Guiming led the way and introduced the situation of the printing society to Ning Qi as he walked.

Speaking of which, Qingliu Seal Society also has a close relationship with Haihan. Liu Guiming went to Danzhou, Hainan to study for three years as early as 20 years ago, during which he even visited Sanya briefly.

When Liu Guiming was in Danzhou, he came into contact with various books and printed matter published by Haihan. Although he did not necessarily agree with the ideas promoted by Haihan, he was quite impressed by the various printed matter published by Haihan, especially the printing technology of newspapers.

interest.

Later, Liu Guiming returned to Zhejiang and opened the printing press. From the beginning, he introduced Haihan's printing technology and equipment, using copper-lead movable type to replace the traditional woodblock engraving.

Relying on more advanced printing technology, Liu Guiming's Qingliu Seal Society quickly established a foothold in Hangzhou. At the same time, he also began to introduce some Haihan published books for sale in his own bookstore.

There was constant fighting between the Haihan and the Zhejiang government at that time. Merchants like Liu Guiming who sold Haihan goods would inevitably wear small shoes from time to time, and they did encounter many problems during this period.

Fortunately, Shi Diwen knew Liu Guiming's situation and knew whether the essence of his business activities was to promote Haihan, so he gave him a lot of support secretly and solved many troubles for him. Qingliu Seal Society stumbled all the way.

I finally got over it.

After Haihan captured Donghangzhou from Daming, Liu Guiming immediately turned around and got a printing order from Donghai Times. Qingliu Seal Society Yidongzi became a well-established official businessman.

Ning Qi's eyes were sharp. Yidong saw a few books on the display rack. He walked over, picked them up and flipped through them. He nodded and said, "So the textbooks used in Hangzhou were printed at my place."

Liu Guiming proudly introduced: "Sir, if the textbooks are printed in Hainan Island and then shipped over, the freight will be very high, so Master Shi arranged for them to be printed by Cao Min. The paper ink used, the size of the typesetting fonts, all

All are consistent with the Hainan Island version."

Although the printing and distribution of textbooks was not a matter arranged by the Ministry of Culture and Education, such small matters generally did not require Ningqi's personal intervention. Therefore, after coming to Qingliu Seal Society, he learned that it had taken over the task of printing textbooks.

Liu Guiming was not bragging. Ning Qi looked through it and found that the printing quality of those books was indeed no worse than the Hainan Island version.

After the Ming Dynasty, academies, private schools, and official schools in Hangzhou would gradually replace the teaching materials designated by the Ministry of Culture and Education, and there would be long-term needs. Qingliu Seal Society would have enough income to maintain the operation of the Seal Society from just that one business.

"What are those being printed now?" Ning Qi saw that the workers at the printing site were all busy, and Dangdong was also a little curious.

Liu Guiming said: "Sir, these are all the various leaflets printed for the Haihan Army."

After saying that, he went to the side and took out a few freshly printed ones, and handed them to Ning Qi with his legs.

Ning Qi took it and took a look. Sure enough, there were no recruitment or immigration flyers. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Are they printed for the arms exhibition?"

Liu Guiming nodded repeatedly and said: "Is that true? It is said that it is very popular there. The leaflets printed in advance by each army have been distributed. There are no temporary additional orders there."
