Chapter 200 Everyone has a book to read
The discussion on the banned book was ultimately left alone.
Just as Tang Qi said, no matter how annoying and disliked his books by traditional famous scholars and officials who advocated Huang Lao, the book itself did not touch any bottom line.
After half a month of deletion and revision, the contents in the "Reader" that may shake the foundation of feudal rule have been greatly modified.
The current "Reader" will not fall into the depravity of the feudal emperors, but it will also appear docile and harmless.
At least in Liu Che's eyes, this is basically the case.
The most sensitive ones are those that separate natural phenomena from the obvious spirit of God and prove them with easy-to-understand pictures and experimental steps.
This is a matter of whether it is big or small.
If Liu Che was determined to ban it, it could naturally be said that it was a great rebellion.
But Liu Che trusts Tang Qi very much, so if there is a little dazzling content inside, it will become less difficult to tolerate.
Coupled with the previous "demon possession" incident, the entire court was almost fooled by the sayings of ghosts and gods.
It made Liu Che very unhappy!
So since Tang Qi made a statement in public, the matter could certainly be revealed.
Moreover, the reason why famous scholars besieged Tang Qi was not entirely because of conservativeness.
More importantly, the official theory’s natural fear of “wild learning”.
Just like the previous Huang-Lao School, it clearly advocated inaction and rule, but it was not ruthless when strangling other theories led by Confucianism.
At its peak, anyone who learns Confucianism cannot even step into the court!
Now some people have written books that are completely different from Confucianism, and have promoted them widely among the people at low prices, and there is also a little encouragement and doubt about the tone of some content in Confucianism.
The author of this book is very trusted by the emperor!
Even a little bit short of that, he became the current prince’s teacher!
The famous scholars in the court couldn't help but lose their vigilance.
However, the degree of vigilance is limited. Where is the new school so easy to establish?
The most widely circulated Confucianism and Taoism, as well as the Legalists who do not say anything about it, have not been developed and progressed for hundreds of years.
Countless famous universities have worked hard to continuously improve various views of their schools, supplemented by explanations of worldview, outlook on life, and values.
It has slowly become complete, to the extent today?
And it is not enough for a long time, such as the Mohist school, famous school, Yin and Yang school.
Either the theory is too distant from practice, or the theory is only Fang Fa's theory and ignores the understanding and explanation of the world and universe, which leads to naturally lag one leg and is too limited.
Even like the straitor, it is actually limited to theoretical and time guidance for a certain profession.
There is no way to compete with the attack and annihilation from competitors.
Now, it has gradually declined.
Just like the Confucian and Mohism dispute, they regard each other as mortal enemies. However, the Mohism's natural flaws are too great and are no match for Confucianism at all, so they can only defeat them miserably.
Therefore, as long as Tang Qi does not show his desire to establish a school and his ambition to compete with Confucianism for official doctrines, he will only be vigilant.
Even famous scholars who are best at inclusive and inclusive may even think of "merger".
Of course, this is also because of the restrictions of the times that neither famous scholars nor Huang Laozi could suppress "heretics" unscrupulously.
Let's try it in future generations?
Don’t wear a Confucian robe, and borrow two words of saints as cover.
"The Reader" may be killed by Confucianism as soon as it was born!
The same sentence.
Thank God for allowing me to travel to the Western Han Dynasty and barely catch up with the controversy of a hundred schools of thought, saving me a lot of trouble.
After Liu Che affirmed that Tang Qi did not dig a hole for him to jump, he no longer expressed his stinginess.
"The things in the "Reading Book" are a bit amazing, but they are not considered a ruthless person. If they are listed as banned books, don't mention them again." Liu Che made a final decision, "Besides, this book also lists the experimental methods of each theories in detail? If you have any dissatisfaction, just ask Mr. Tang to debate."
In an era when hundreds of schools of thought contend, various theories often debate in public in order to compete for the right to speak.
Talking your opponent speechless is the best way to promote your own theory.
Although Liu Che designated Confucianism as the official doctrine, he did not prohibit descendants of other schools from debating with Confucian scholars in consideration of the need to maintain stability.
After hearing this, the officials could only bear it for the time being.
If you continue to entangle, wouldn’t it mean that you dare not argue with Tang Qi openly and can only use your power to suppress others?
After stopping the debate among all officials on the new book, Liu Che no longer cared about the subtle mood of his ministers.
What he is curious about now is a few other things.
"I have read the sir's book. The paper is flexible and smooth, which is the best material for writing. The characters inside are small but correct, and are not hand-written works."
"Why is such a high-end book worth only 100 cents? Wouldn't you lose too much?"
These days, there are not many people who do good deeds to deliver books, but they usually have a certain amount, and the ones they send are all inferior copybooks.
In this case, various conditions have to be attached.
However, Tang Qi's books were sold seriously on the shelves, and Liu Che was paid attention to them. After selling them for a whole day, there was no sign of out of stock.
At first, I was worried that it was limited sales, so the people who rushed to buy it were calm.
This is clearly what you need to do business seriously!
"Your Majesty should be clear about the paper issue." Tang Qi bowed, "I have given some new paper to the Shaofu to make examples. Mr. Sima must have gained some gains during these days?"
Liu Che looked at Sima Wang.
Sima Wang wiped his beard and stood up with a wry smile: "I have indeed gained something by asking the Hong Fu of Anding Hou. The young mansion has successfully copied the new paper of Anding Hou."
"It's just that the cost is always high. Not to mention a book, even a blank piece of paper cannot be sold at a low price of 100 words."
"That's the recipe used is wrong." Tang Qi explained, "According to my method, if it's as thick as white paper in "Reading Book", 10 yuan is enough to make a profit, and there is still a profit!"
"What?!" Liu Che stood up suddenly, "Mr. Tang's words are serious?"
Tang Qi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. My Dahan Department Store is a place where you do business. How can you do a loss-making business?"
"It's just a recipe for new paper, please keep it confidential for the time being."
"That's natural." Liu Che was still very excited. "Mr. Tang can use his master's skills to benefit the great man. I am very content. How can I take advantage of it?"
If the cost of new paper is really so low, it can completely replace bamboo slips and cloth!
The cost of reading and writing in the future will be greatly reduced!
Gongsun Hong couldn't help but look at him sideways.
If the cost of papermaking is really so low, I don’t know how much benefits and reputation it will bring to His Majesty by taking it back to the court.
