"Sounds pretty good."
Chen Zhou listened to Xun Qiao's suggestion and thought that it was feasible. This little girl's idea was feasible and could spread mathematical knowledge. He then said: "Then publishing a book is troublesome to Qiao'er. As for the signature, you don't have to worry about me. Just leave it to me." Just write your name, and I will teach you all the arithmetic knowledge, compile it into a book, and send it to Cao Wencheng and the others for printing."
Today's papermaking and printing technology is developing at an accelerated pace.
Cao Ang recruited a large number of refugees, added several production lines, and printed books faster and faster. If Taixue was built now, they could provide many books immediately.
"Qiao'er can just send me the manuscript."
Cao Ang said after hearing this.
He is also very interested in his husband's arithmetic. If it can be spread, it should have a certain impact.
Among the six arts of the gentleman, there is arithmetic.
It can be seen that arithmetic is not excluded in this era, but not many people study it, and it requires strong logic. It is relatively difficult for people in this era to achieve success.
"no!"
Xun Qiao said seriously and a little cutely: "This belongs to Mr., of course it can only be signed with Mr.'s name."
Chen Zhou didn't care and said: "It's just a name, it's not important actually. I'll wait until Qiao'er helps me make the book. Qiao'er is really embarrassed. You can also write our names on it."
Their names are written in the same book?
Xun Qiao thought for a while and felt that this seemed good and even had a special meaning, so he readily agreed.
Chen Zhou saw the girl's pretty face with a faint blush. He didn't know whether it was because she was cold or because she felt shy, but he quickly put these thoughts aside.
"Sir, how is the rebuilding of the Imperial Academy going? Is there anyone blocking it?"
After Chen Zhou finished teaching today's class, he turned to other things.
"The construction site is still under construction. According to Mr.'s work-for-relief method, a group of people have been replaced."
"The refugees heard that they would have food to eat when they worked, and they were very motivated. The construction site was still going smoothly, and no one dared to directly stop us."
"It's just that there are always a lot of people who are sarcastic towards us."
"They laughed at our Imperial College. It is useless. It may not even have books. It will definitely go bankrupt within six months after it is completed."
Cao Ang repeated these words and became more and more angry.
Cao Ang felt very unhappy that people outside looked down on the Cao family so much, and continued: "Not long ago, Ni Zhengping, who had a particularly bad mouth, led a group of scholars to cause trouble outside the construction site. Xia Houjie had nothing to do with him, and kept chasing him. If he doesn’t leave, it’s inconvenient to catch him, so we can only let him laugh outside.”
Not to mention the person involved, Xia Houjie, even Cao Ang, who heard this, was now full of anger. If Cao Cao hadn't allowed it, he would have cut Ni Heng into pieces.
At least Mi Heng was captured.
"It's this guy again, everything really has something to do with him!"
When Xun Ji heard this, he frowned.
At the time of the Spring Festival, Mi Heng spoke freely and offended many people. Chen Zhou taught him a lesson on the spot. After all this time, this man still didn't know how to restrain himself and remained as arrogant as ever.
Xun Yun snorted coldly: "I have heard of you Zhengping. If you dare to scold my father, sooner or later I will be as good-looking as him."
Xun Qiao said softly: "Brother, don't be impulsive. It's beneath our status to worry so much with a villain."
Xun Yun snorted again, obviously still unhappy with Mi Heng's behavior. It was just a matter of current strategic needs, and he couldn't do anything to Mi Heng, so he had to endure this tone.
"That's not all!"
"Nowadays, all the bad comments against our Taixue in Xudu City are caused by Ni Heng. He has always been like this, arrogant and has a high opinion of himself."
"If my father hadn't allowed it, let alone Chang Qian, I couldn't help but get rid of him."
Cao Ang said angrily again.
Through their conversation, Chen Zhou could tell that Mi Heng was now not only a troll, but also a master of rhythm, using various rhythms to smear the Cao family's Imperial Academy.
In addition, the rhythm he led was in line with the collective interests of the family's scribes.
Therefore, as soon as the rhythm appears, it will definitely be echoed and recognized by many people. If the scribes from the aristocratic family behind it do not come in to promote the spread of the rhythm, Chen Zhou will not believe it.
They just used Mi Heng to act as a leader and create bad remarks about the Cao family.
The real aristocratic family dare not speak out publicly at this time.
"Sir, what should we do in this situation?" Cao Ang looked at Chen Zhou expectantly, wanting to find a solution.
Now the Cao family is being scolded badly.
In fact, it was nothing to be scolded. The most important thing was that Mi Heng was so rhythmic and sarcastic, which made Cao Ang and the others very uncomfortable and made them feel disgusted.
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and asked: "How many books do we have now?"
Cao Ang said: "Together, more than three thousand volumes of various books have been printed."
Chen Zhou asked again: "With the current printing speed, we can replenish enough books at any time before the reconstruction of Taixue is completed, right?"
The reconstruction of Taixue will take a certain amount of time. It does not mean that if you want to build it, you can build it immediately. They still have enough time to develop technology. Cao Ang nodded and said: "Before the reconstruction of Taixue is completed, it will only take seven or eight days to print it immediately." Approval of books will be added."
Since they are so fast, Chen Zhou has more places to operate. He said: "Young master, go outside, find a store, and take out all the books that are being printed now and next. Didn't they say that we don't have them?" Books? Then we tell them that not only do we have books, but we also continuously produce books."
"Selling books?"
Cao Ang asked.
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "It's considered a sale, but my idea is half sale and half giveaway! Our books cost nothing to print. The larger the quantity, the cost of a book is not high. For all the poor families, Li Shu, and ordinary people , our books are given away for free, but as for the scholars from aristocratic families, if they want to buy books, they have to buy them at a high price."
Xun Ji asked: "High price? In that case, they are willing to buy our books?"
Chen Zhou explained: "Whether they are willing or not, our purpose is not to make money by selling books, but to tell everyone that we not only have books, but also books that are more useful and can be continuously supplied. I would like to Let’s see how other ways those cynics can mock us.”
Cao Ang thought Chen Zhou's method was good and said, "I'll go back and make arrangements right away."
Learning arithmetic is not the most important thing to him.
As long as Xun Yun and the others learn it, they will be able to help Cao Ang in the future, use arithmetic to calculate the grain for taxation, and teach arithmetic.
Regarding the spread of arithmetic, the most important thing is the book Xun Qiao helped Chen Zhou publish.
So Cao Ang left, and Chen Zhou didn't care. He continued to teach Xun Yun and others various mathematical knowledge, and also considered publishing books. What he taught Xun Qiao was the most complete.
The content taught to Xun Yun and Xun Ji was relatively quick, allowing them to master the method of calculating large amounts of tax proportionally as soon as possible.
