Ordinary farmers, although no one taught them to read and write.

But in fact, sometimes it is inevitable to see the text.

For example, the archway of the gentry's house, when passing by, you can see the big red lacquer characters when you look up.

Another example is the Spring Festival couplets in front of the door

These inevitable words will always appear in their eyes.

But anyone who has a little heart will recognize dozens or hundreds of simple characters no matter what.

Of course, this is completely different from real literacy and hyphenation. Written characters in this era, in other words, require systematic study to understand meaning.

What's more, if you don't know how to punctuate sentences, it's like reading a bible.

But in Chen Shisan's eyes, the book in his hand was completely different!

There is nothing in it, not even uncommon words, but try to use more repetitive and concise common words.

He looked hard, but couldn't help but read: "After the sows give birth, they need to be urged, and red, beet leaves, etc. are often used for reminder selection."

It was a tough read.

But as the name suggests, there is nothing jerky and difficult to understand in it.

And even though there are many characters that I don't know, I can barely understand the characters before and after, even half guessed.

Chen Shisan thought to himself, the most important thing for a sow after giving birth is to promote lactation. This must be the meaning of lactation, to feed beet leaves, and what kind of sweet potato is this red?

Oh, it turns out that this is the word for sweet potato, and this word is actually milk.

Is this really useful?

He was both curious and suspicious!

Something suddenly came to my mind. In the clan brother's house next door, there seemed to be a sow with little milk after giving birth, and the piglet squealed hungry.

Ever since, Chen Shisan wanted to give it a try.

after a few days

Chen Liu came to Chen Shisan's house with pastries wrapped in lotus leaves.

"Old Thirteen" Chen Liu stood outside the door and shouted gratefully.

But at this time, his little brother sneaked in today, and was still reading a book, thinking.

Chen Shisan's daughter-in-law opened the door and welcomed the six brothers in. She said, "You're all here, why do you bring something?" She took the pastry and went to the back kitchen to boil water. .

"My pig, fed potato leaves and beetroot, has enough milk for the past two days. Where did you learn this?"

When Chen Shisan heard this, he suddenly realized.

He looked at his sixth brother, who was already in full bloom.

This is actually understandable.

In this era, a family with pigs is considered rich.

Of course, life has gotten better in recent years.

After all, in this era, raising pigs is an extremely luxurious thing.

This is the hope of Lao Liu's family.

After finally waiting for the sow to give birth, the whole family was in a hurry because of the lack of water.

In such a closed village, the knowledge that people can absorb is limited after all. Even if there is a Tuntian Guard in the county town, it is still as far away as the sky for the people in the village.

Now according to the method of the old thirteen, he was actually urged, why is this Chen Liu so unhappy that he danced around.

Chen Shisan heard it, but at this moment, his heart was shocked.

This method actually worked, and this book is really amazing.

In this way, everything written in the book is useful.

He remembered that there were ways to deal with trauma, some things about growing wheat, how to get rid of insects when planting fruit trees, the almanac, some precautions for pregnant women, and solar terms in different seasons.

These things were originally passed on by word of mouth from the old people in the village.

But in fact, word of mouth is often unreliable, so it is not accurate, and some are even wrong.

"This book, this book"

"What book"

In the entire village surnamed Chen, a Chen Xiucai suddenly appeared. In the eyes of everyone, Chen Xiucai knew both astronomy and geography.

As a result, many people encountered problems and began to seek advice from Chen Shisanlai.

Of course, people gradually began to know that all of Chen Xiucai's knowledge came from that Ming Ode.

Even Chen Xiucai could understand it by guessing, so maybe others could understand it too. .

In the past, knowledge was acquired by the gentry in the village.

All the families stared at the gentry family. The gentry family felt that the solar terms were up and they could farm. Seeing his family's fields start to be plowed in spring, everyone followed suit.

But now it is different.

With Chen Xiucai, Chen Liu also began to go around to ask clients to buy a Ming Song.

Not only that, Chen Shisan relied on continuous guessing, and sometimes he would ask people for advice on characters he really didn't know.

After all, this book is too important, no matter what day it is today, even if it is a few days later whether it is suitable to go out, you need to read this book, so that you can feel at ease.

Because of this, Chen Shisan took extra care.

Soon, from village to village, rumors began to spread about the magic of this Ming Song.

At the beginning, it was just a rumor, but soon some merchants finally found business opportunities through some news.

Immediately afterwards, bundles of Ming Song began to appear in this small village, and then the price of this book increased!

Fifty texts a copy, no deception for children and elders

.

Fifty Wen is not a small amount in the eyes of people in the village.

But compared to the wonderful use of this book, it is not too much.

Farmers are not stupid.

They will settle the score.

So much knowledge, only fifty words.

In the future, it will be extremely useful for weddings and funerals, planting crops, and even seeking medical advice.

The information inside is extremely simple, but as long as you can recognize more than a hundred characters, you can barely understand it.

I heard that for the sake of easy reading, the text here is expressed in the most commonly used words.

After all, for farmers, when they encounter problems, they can ask their neighbors, but throughout the year, there are so many miscellaneous things that they can't ask everyone for everything.

It's only fifty coins, but it's still affordable.

These fifty-literal books had only arrived in one village, and sixty or seventy copies were sold out in an instant.

The speed of sales stunned the bookseller.

Originally, they just heard that someone in the countryside was inquiring about buying this Ming Song.

That being the case, then simply take a batch of these unsalable books to the countryside, and go from village to village, and they will always be sold out.

They had prepared for a few days.

But who knew that they had just arrived at the first village, and they were sold out all of a sudden.

What's even more unexpected is that those who didn't buy it were still in a hurry, looking at the book seller who was walking around the street, and kept telling him that he must come next time.

In this world, no one is more effective than a merchant's nose.

This is a business opportunity, a business opportunity urgently waiting to be discovered.

It's a big gold mine.

All of a sudden, the printing workshops in Xishan were surrounded by booksellers.

Booksellers are frantically buying.

not only

Other workshops also began to desperately contact the Duke of Qi's mansion in Xishan.

I hope that the Duke of Qi will allow the printing of Ming Song.

In this era, there is no copyright issue.

These workshops often do piracy, without any respect for the author.

But for Fang Jifan, there is no such problem for the time being.

Without Fang Jifan's permission, no workshop would dare to pirate this book. It's not that the ancients were more ethical than some pirates in later generations, but that, after all, everyone is just seeking money, so they won't stick their heads to their waistbands let's go!

Obviously, in front of Fang Jifan, everyone's desire to survive is very strong.

After obtaining Fang Jifan's permission and paying the finishing fee as required, dozens of workshops in Beijing began to operate around the clock.

Countless Ming Songs were printed one by one, and then quickly fell into the hands of the bookseller.

The booksellers quickly organized their manpower to send the carts of books to the various counties below.

The shopkeepers in the prefectures and counties who had been waiting for a long time carried their burdens, happily included the books in their burdens, and then began to walk into the countryside.

In the exchange, many merchants looked at these booksellers and were a little confused.

Only then did they realize that there is still such a big market in this world.

In the past, people's understanding of the market was extremely limited.

After all, there are not many people with spending power in this era.

It is this type of people that merchants are targeting.

And Ming Song's best-selling suddenly made people realize that in this world, there is not only a market for millions of people in this area, but another world that is isolated and separated from the world, that market is ten times the current market.

The hot sales of Ming Song also led to the prosperity of paper and ink workshops, so that many people began to be very optimistic about these markets, which was greatly reflected in the trading market.

The stock prices of several large workshops began to soar. At the same time, many workshops also began to expand their production after receiving the funds raised.

And all this seemed to happen in another world to the imperial court and most of the officials.

Of course, apart from merchants, it was Xishan Academy who really paid attention to the phenomenon.

Some students of Xishan Academy were disappointed with Ming Song at first.

They thought that their teacher or ancestor would definitely write some profound knowledge, but who would have thought that it would be so superficial.

But now they seem to have discovered something.

Some students began to take leave, slipped into the nearby countryside, and began to investigate.

Soon some students suddenly began to wake up.

They seem to have discovered a new continent.

The master is mighty, it turns out that this is the real teaching by precept and example.

In less than a month, the good news spread throughout the capital, and Ming Song's sales in January exceeded one million!

Millions, this is almost an ancient thing.

Yesterday a lot of people scolded and said that water is good. Tiger hurriedly looked back at some previous chapters and found no water. Every content is essential. If it is missing, the whole story will be incoherent, and many things will be explained. I don’t know, writing is the same as writing stereotypes, you need to start the topic, start the story, start, start, middle, and back, and finally end, otherwise it won’t be perfect. I’m obviously writing a story with my heart, so wronged .
