Chen Jingke limped back to his yard, and saw two slender figures standing at the door from a distance.
He felt warm in his heart, knowing that Yi Nu and Yuzhu must be waiting for him.
The nightlife in Datang was very scarce. He would come back early if nothing happened. He came back relatively late today. The two maids must have been waiting impatiently.
Yi Nu and the other two also noticed him, and hurriedly came forward to support him, one on the left and the other on the right, and said distressedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just a minor skin injury. We'll talk about it when we get back."
They were not unable to move in the first place, and he was unwilling to put his weight on them, so it would be inconvenient for them to be supported while walking.
However, he did not refuse, mainly enjoying the process.
When he returned to the house, he was pinned down on a chair by two maids. Yi Nu knelt down and rolled up his trouser legs to see the purple scars, and tears of distress almost came to his eyes.
"Who is so cruel that he could kick you so hard?"
Yuzhu's eyebrows stood up and she said, "You were kicked? Who did it? I'm going to tell the empress to avenge you."
Chen Jingke didn't know what it meant to be able to see at a glance how the wound was caused, so he didn't notice Yi Nu's flaw and comforted him:
"I'm fine. I just have a little skin injury and will be fine if I sleep. Don't make a fuss and make Xiaoxian and I... look like second generation ancestors."
Yuzhu said angrily: "This is not a matter of major or minor injuries. I just can't kick you. He must be punished."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Hey, we Yuzhu will feel sorry for others, I am very happy."
Yuzhu was a little shy and said reluctantly: "Master, I'm serious."
Chen Jingke lay on the back of the chair and said lazily: "I got a wife after being kicked. How good is this deal? If possible, I would rather be kicked a few more times."
Yuzhu was a little confused and didn't understand what the connection was. Could it be that a hero was saving the beauty? Yi Nuze immediately thought of Wu Shu. Could it be that his real person molested Mrs. Wu and was kicked?
Chen Jingke said: "The right way is to hit, kiss, scold, and love. If the kiss is not enough, kick. You are still young and don't understand."
Yuzhu was even more confused, what was this? But Yi Nu understood it all, it was really indecent and he was kicked.
Come on, don’t feel sad anymore, so you got up and asked, “Do you still want to take a shower tonight?”
"Don't wash it. Water is not good for the wound."
"Then let me get you some water to soak your feet."
After washing, Chen Jingke did not rest immediately. It was too early to go to bed now, so he asked the maids to bring the pen and ink and started busy.
This time he compiled an enlightenment textbook, and naturally he had to use brand-new textbooks when running his own school.
He is very aware of the importance of talents. If you want to realize your grand plan, you cannot rely on yourself alone. You must have enough helpers.
Although you can recruit elites from the outside world, you will never be able to use them as well as those you have cultivated yourself. Especially in science and engineering, you need to cultivate them yourself.
He not only wants to cultivate talents, but also takes advantage of this opportunity to establish a systematic science and engineering framework.
Ancient China did not lack scientific and engineering research talents, nor did it lack scientific and technological inventions. It is just that those inventions relied more on individual bursts of inspiration rather than being created through systematic learning and guidance.
Due to the lack of solid basic knowledge and the corresponding knowledge system to guide the direction, further research is often impossible.
What he has to do now is to make up for this shortcoming. With this system, even if he disappears immediately, the world will inevitably move towards glory.
Again, never underestimate the IQ of the ancients.
Moreover, scientific research shows that because of the use of leaded gasoline for hundreds of years, modern people's IQs are generally lower than in ancient times.
Although many media outlets do not acknowledge this conclusion, many researchers with "deep background" attack it from various angles, proving that the decline in human IQ has nothing to do with leaded gasoline.
However, if you look closely, you will be shocked to find that what they are refuting is not the conclusion that "the IQ of today's people is not as good as that of the ancients", but that this result is not caused by leaded gasoline.
A surprising fact is that people today have generally lower IQs than in ancient times.
No matter how those people argue, it cannot change the fact that leaded gasoline is gradually being phased out.
After it was replaced, scientists continued to test and track the IQ of newborns and found that there was a significant recovery.
Although it has not completely returned to previous levels, this trend is always good news for mankind.
We cannot stop developing industry because we are afraid of pollution. On the contrary, we should develop industry because of pollution.
Only development can solve these problems. The result of not eating enough is to starve to death.
Back to business.
In this era of prejudice against science and engineering, people outside will not leave their children to him to do whatever he wants.
The craftsmen's children of Zixiaoguan are the ones he wants to train. These people are his domestic slaves and he has complete control over them.
While writing textbooks, he couldn't help but think in a wicked way: How would future generations react when writing history books and discovering that the founders of science were all domestic slaves and all graduated from the same school.
It is estimated that many people will point to his name and say that this person must be a time traveler.
Well, it is possible that he was pointing at the name of his master, because after all, he had taken too many scapegoats for himself.
…
The next morning Zhang Tongxuan found Sun Simiao early and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Daoling for joining the ranks of the Four Heavenly Masters, and then re-negotiated.
The progress this time was very rapid, and the basic cooperation framework was finalized before noon.
To put it simply, Longhushan uses Zixiao to watch the horse's lead in exchange for the right to speak in Jiangnan Road, but at the same time they also have to shoulder a responsibility.
"Preach religion to various parts of Lingnan and Nanzhong, and replace the indigenous sects believed by the barbarians here with Taoism."
Zhang Tongxuan said in embarrassment: "The barbarians of that generation are barbaric and uncivilized. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."
Chen Jingke asked rhetorically: "Is it more difficult than when Zhang Tianshi created the righteous path?"
Zhang Tongxuan was speechless and said: "This... how can this be the same? Those barbarian kings have soldiers and horses in their hands, how can we compete with them?"
Chen Jingke said: "Then it depends on your ambition in Longhu Mountain. If you are satisfied with being a local bully in Jiangnan Dao, you can do whatever you want."
"If you want to restore the grandeur of Zhang Tianshi's time, it's impossible without doing something."
"I can reveal some secrets to you. It won't be long before the imperial court pours more power into the south. It's up to you whether you want to seize this opportunity or not."
Zhang Tongxuan said in surprise: "You mean the imperial court wants to use troops in the south?"
Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "I didn't say anything. Everything is your own speculation. I can only say that there is no free lunch in the world. You have to pay a sufficient price for what you want."
Zhang Tongxuan's face kept changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I agree. But Zixiaoguan must pull the strings so that we can get the support of the imperial court in the south."
Chen Jingke smiled happily and said: "Okay, I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask the local government and military government to support Longhu Mountain's mission to the south."
Zhang Tongxuan was very envious. He agreed to conquer Lingnan and Nanzhong just to gain support from the imperial court.
At this time, Chen Jingke said again: "By the way, I founded a magazine, hoping to use the power of Longhu Mountain to publish it in the south."
…
"How many copies of Wangyue Tan have been printed?" Chen Jingke asked from the printing workshop of the outer courtyard.
Tian Dachun replied: "Fifteen thousand copies have been printed."
Chen Jingke said: "If it's not enough, print it twice as much."
Tian Dachun said hesitantly: "Printing too much at one time is too risky. Should we sell these first and then print them again?"
Chen Jingke said with appreciation: "Yes, you think so and dare to bring it up, which means you are really considering the printing house. If you have any suggestions in the future, just tell me."
Tian Dachun said excitedly: "Thank you Master, I am willing to devote myself to Zixiao Temple and die for Master."
"Pfft!" Wu Shu covered his mouth and laughed.
Chen Jingke also shook his head and laughed: "Okay, okay, I know you can read. Don't quote words from books casually in the future, it's easy to make a joke."
Tian Dachun said sarcastically: "Yes."
Chen Jingke said: "Go ahead and print another 15,000 copies. You don't have to worry about selling them. I have my own way."
After he left, Wu Shu asked: "Although you can use the power of Taoist sects to publish, 30,000 copies is not a small amount, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell."
Chen Jingke asked: "Who said I want to sell?"
Wu Shu said curiously: "If you don't want to sell it? How about giving it away for free?"
Chen Jingke said: "You're right, it's free. Not only this time, but also the next five issues."
Wu Shu said in surprise: "You have to think clearly, this is not a small amount. Even if we... have money, we can't afford such a hassle."
Chen Jingke first explained to her what spiritual life is, what inertia is, and what the right to speak is, and finally concluded:
"Nowadays, people are lacking in spiritual life and lack channels to understand external information. Wangyue Tan can fill this gap to a certain extent."
"We first bring Mochizuki Tan into the eyes of readers for free, so that they can get used to understanding the outside world through it, and fill the void in their spiritual life."
"After they can't live without Mochizuki, we will start charging again. We can make back every penny of the money we lost during the previous few periods of freebies."
"How much money we can make is secondary. The key is the right to speak. When the time comes, they will only be able to see what information we publish... This is the biggest benefit."
Wu Shu's beautiful eyes were shining again and again, and he said: "My knowledge is too shallow. I didn't expect your plan to be so far-reaching."
But he quickly frowned and said, "But how can we quickly obtain information from all over the world?"
Chen Jingke said: "It's very simple. In the beginning, you can rely on Taoists to collect information. When Wangyue Tan reaches thousands of households, you can solicit contributions from all readers and obtain information through them."
"Publishing your works in such a book that is distributed all over the world is an excellent opportunity for readers to become famous, not to mention that we will also pay them a considerable sum of money for writing."
"At that time, every reader will be our eyes. We will only worry about too much information and not knowing which one to publish, but we will not have no information to publish."
