Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Yes, engraving and printing."
Ying Zheng frowned, still confused about something he had never heard of before.
"What it is?"
A smile bloomed on Chen Ke's face.
"Your Majesty, didn't I say that before?"
“With woodblock printing, books can be produced in large quantities.”
"As the name suggests, it is used to print books."
print?
This word has not actually appeared yet, so Ying Zheng cannot understand the meaning of this word.
It's like you can't understand the meaning of the word "klihggj"...
Because the word hasn't appeared yet.
For Ying Zheng, the word "printing" is like this word.
Chen Ke scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, engraving and printing are actually just like seals."
He took out his seal from his sleeve, and then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
Chen Ke put the seal on the paper, and then several words appeared.
"Your Majesty, if you engrave words on a copper plate or a wooden board, and then stick the paper on it."
"In this way, won't the books come out quickly?"
"This process is called printing."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng had a look of sudden realization on his face.
I see.....
If this method is used, wouldn't it be possible to produce books in large quantities?
Therefore, the problem is back to what the two of them discussed before.
Is it dumbing down the people or enlightening the people?
This is a problem, and a serious one.
Ying Zheng finally sighed.
"If the people's wisdom is as enlightened as you said, then how to control this speed?"
Ying Zheng's expression was very serious. He knew that under the wheel of history, any individual's power was like a mantis holding a chariot.
Back then, Zhao also tried to stop Qin, but Qin's iron-forging technology continued to get stronger.
Later, Qin's weapons directly cut off Zhao's weapons on the battlefield.
Later, there will be no later.
The State of Zhao became the Handan County of Da Qin.
At that time, not everyone within Da Qin was opposed to continuing to study forged iron technology.
Some people feel that current technology is enough.
There is no need to spend so much money on researching forged iron technology, as long as theirs is better than others?
However, this concept was proved to be wrong in later history.
Now, almost the same problem is before Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng knew that he could only choose what he wanted.
However, he is still worried about whether the speed can be controlled.
Chen Ke could see the worry in Ying Zheng's heart at a glance, and even smiled.
"Your Majesty, what do you think scholars will do after studying?"
Ying Zheng didn't hesitate at all: "They want to be officials."
Chen Ke nodded: "Yes, they want to be officials."
"If His Majesty holds the power to appoint all officials in the world, then what can they do if they want to be officials?"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "You can only be loyal to me."
Chen Ke took the elevator again: "So, in fact, the last thing your Majesty should be afraid of is that they study."
"Because "learned the arts of literature and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family." "
"The talents they gain from studying will eventually be given to His Majesty."
"We all have to fight for Da Qin."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes: "What if they don't want to?"
Chen Ke burst out laughing after hearing this.
"Don't want to?"
"Your Majesty, are the millions of cavalrymen of our Great Qin just for a living?"
"Without military power and force, no matter how rampant those so-called scholars are, they can only lower their heads!"
"Only under military power can political power emerge!"
Chen Ke's words were resounding.
Ying Zheng actually understood what he said, but the authorities were obsessed with it.
In the face of brand-new events that transcend the characteristics of the times, everyone is temporarily "obsessed with the authorities."
"Knock knock knock"
Ying Zheng knocked on the table in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The aura of the whole person returned to its previous appearance, becoming fierce and terrifying.
"You are right, I hesitated."
"Chen Ke, please make this as soon as possible."
"But I have a problem."
After recovering, Ying Zheng returned to his superior position in an instant. He looked at Chen Ke in front of him with a playful expression.
"Even if you develop engraving printing, what will happen if you can print a large number of books?"
“Nowadays, among the scholars in the world, isn’t it Confucianism that they read the most?”
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, engraving, printing and paper are all in your hands. Don't you just print whatever you want?"
"Isn't it true that you want people in the world to read whatever books you want them to read?"
Chen Ke is very confident.
At this time, printing presses were not as common as they would be in later generations.
And as long as you have a printing press, you can print anything at will, and you can even organize those things into books...
Of course, this kind of behavior was called illegal publishing in later generations...
The art of engraving and printing was now in the hands of the First Emperor, while the art of papermaking was only known by the Manufacturing Department under the First Emperor.
That is to say, it is only in the hands of Chen Ke...
Doesn’t it mean that people in the world should read whatever they want them to read?
Is there really someone who is so stupid that he doesn't read the light paper books and insists on holding a scroll of bamboo slips?
If there really is such a fool...
Then it’s okay for such fools not to transform.
Ying Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this. He pointed at Chen Ke and said, "I knew you, this cunning guy, had already planned it."
"Tell me about your plan."
"I also want to know how you want to take revenge on Confucianism."
"How do you want to restrict Confucianism?"
“If you don’t read Confucian books, what else can you read?”
A trace of depression flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Confucianism’s layout took too long.
It started not many years after Confucius died, and it has been hundreds of years until now.
Over such a long period of time, Confucianism has become the choice of most people in the world...
Bring it up to read, bring it up to enlightenment.
Many people choose Confucian books...
This is also the reason why the First Emperor set up the Doctor's Palace.
Among the hundreds of scholars, people from other lines are hidden in this world and are difficult to discover.
Chen Ke smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, I think you should have guessed it."
"What else can restrain Confucianism or even make Confucianism unable to fight back?"
"It's nothing more than three schools of law, Mohism and Taoism."
What Chen Ke said is indeed true, but he just added some personal information.
That's Legalism...
Back then, "Neither Confucianism nor Jimo" was just talk...
And Confucius asked Lao Tzu about "propriety" which laid the foundation of Taoism...
As for Legalism...
That is to say, they have just relied on the east wind of Great Qin in recent years.
"oh?"
Ying Zheng's voice was soft.
"Then what do you want to do?"
