The scholar was immediately excited when he heard this. These people didn't know, but for them as scholars, this was a huge thing!
"Everyone, I copied all the words in this book word by word. In the past, if you wanted to own a book for a long time, you could only borrow it and copy it, but this way of copying books is very easy to miss or make mistakes."
"And everyone, your children are about to start school and may copy the wrong book."
"Once printing technology is developed, all kinds of books can be produced in large quantities, just like the little boy just now, printing countless weekly newspapers."
"If this is the original, with such a large amount, ten scholars' hands would probably be broken."
"And now it only takes two hours to perfectly engrave it. It says that Empress Chenfei will pay for it and she will be responsible for the books of Qinhan Academy."
"Isn't this like donating books? Mother is so kind."
The person who had just said this blushed a little, "Does that mean that the Empress Chen has done a great deed?"
The scholar nodded, and admired the Concubine Chen very much. "This is a great thing for scholars."
Another scholar pushed him and said, "You are wrong. Everyone is wrong. You forgot about the literacy class."
"Yes, you are right. Everyone, let's explain the last literacy class first."
"The literacy class is designed to help people learn to read. They only need to recognize common characters to graduate. Then, they can take weekly newspapers like this home and study them slowly."
People naturally have a sense of awe towards reading and recognizing words. When they hear that they can also recognize words, their first reaction is indeed rejection.
Because I feel I am not worthy.
"Can we study? No, no, I'm already old, and studying would cost money and time. I can't afford it."
"Sir, reading is such a sacred thing. If we all go, look at the mud I'm covered in, wouldn't that defile the books?"
The scholars of the Qin Dynasty were born with a sense of superiority. Even if they did not become officials in the court, they were still very respectable in the eyes of the people.
In fact, they still feel a little awkward when they think about the fact that after studying hard for so many years, these people now have the opportunity to learn to read.
But only those who have read books know that only by reading can one understand the truth and comprehend things.
"Uncle Li, go and learn to read. Next time someone buys your tofu and tries to trick you, you should just let it go."
"Uncle Zhou, don't you always come to my house with your picture book to block me, just so I can read it to you?"
"Aunt Qi, if you could read, you could write a letter to your son yourself, and you wouldn't have to come to me every time."
Bai Juci walked up from the crowd, and the few people he called were instantly moved.
If he could read, he wouldn't have to be picky about the picture books he read.
She could write letters to her son herself without having to worry about saying too much and tiring Mr. Bai.
He is not afraid of others giving him false accounts, as he can write down the accounts.
The three of them said in unison: "I want to sign up."
Seeing this, the other people seemed to be tempted as well, but none of them said anything out loud as they still needed to think about it.
Bai Juci went up the steps to the bulletin board and said, "You guys continue explaining. I just want to take a look."
Most of the scholars who could read chose to go on stage and watch it themselves, so the two scholars were not surprised.
They just lost a few seconds because of the other party's legs.
"Then let's talk about hatching technology. This involves hatching chicks and ducklings ourselves. Hens and ducks take a long time to hatch, and can only hatch so many at a time, according to the research above."
"The eldest prince can hatch about a hundred chicks at a time. They have now been sent to a farm in the western suburbs to be raised. Once they grow up, everyone can buy them."
This news undoubtedly frightened the people even more.
"Sir, you said you can hatch chicks yourself. Do you mean you put the eggs on a human?"
"Then how can we do anything? And it says there are about a hundred of them, how can we carry them? I can't even fit them all on my body!"
“I feel like this isn’t as good as raising pigs.”
The scholar quickly shouted, "Everyone, don't worry. This incubation technology is not free. This time, we need to charge ten cents. This money will be donated to Qinhan College as a scholarship."
"But the eggs used for study will be reimbursed by the court, and the chicks that hatch will belong to you all."
Someone immediately shouted, "Sir, what do you mean, if I can hatch a hundred chickens, they'll all be mine?"
"That's what the weekly report says." The gentleman nodded slightly.
The man instantly jumped up excitedly, "Everyone, do the math. The price of one chicken, if there are a hundred chickens, then I'm going to be rich."
"I want to sign up, I want to sign up. Ten cents can only buy two old hens. At most, I can eat two fewer meals."
One of the scholars took the opportunity to spread the word: "Those who need to register can go to the farm in the western suburbs to register. Starting tomorrow, the registration period is limited to 3 days."
After hearing this, more people were moved.
"Let's talk about the Qinhan Academy's enrollment brochure. This..."
One of the people shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention: "Sir, talk about the law first. We want to know about the law."
The scholar smiled and nodded. "Let's talk about the law first. According to what's said, this law mainly focuses on gender equality and children's education. Everyone must make time to listen to the explanation tomorrow."
"The first three days' explanations were given by the eldest, second, and third princes."
Some people looked incredulous. "Sir, you said the prince came to explain the law to us? You're crazy!"
"Then I must come early tomorrow to reserve a spot. I want to witness the honor of the eldest prince."
"I don't want to miss out on the Second and Third Princes either."
The scholar quickly called everyone to a halt, "This law requires everyone to remember it. We are currently implementing it on a trial basis in the capital, and will later roll it out to all states and counties. The people of our capital cannot afford to lose face."
"Of course, we must remember this and be law-abiding citizens."
"Then let's talk about the enrollment brochure."
"This is consistent with the law. The latest laws of the Qin Dynasty require that all children of school age attend school. Starting tomorrow, officials will visit homes to determine how many children will attend school so that they can prepare books and uniforms for them."
"What? My daughter is going to school, who will do the housework for us?" a fat woman shouted on the spot.
"I say, Daya's mother, you can't be so partial. Aren't you a healthy person?" Aunt Zhou next to her always hated this woman ordering Daya around, so she retorted immediately.
"Aunt Zhou, it's not your turn to meddle in our family affairs!" The fat woman turned around and walked to the side.
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care. The laws of the Qin Dynasty will take care of it."
The academy has finally started recruiting students. This home visit is great; it feels a bit like a census.
[I wonder if Qinhan Academy will be completely surrounded by people.]
