Chapter 2327: Monopolized knowledge

Scripture collections, etc., are the prohibitions of the clan giants who want to monopolize knowledge!
Lin Sha wanted to gain fame through a certain part of the interpretation of the history of the Interpretation. It was not impossible, but the price to be paid was too high.
There is no strong family power to help promote it, and there are other so-called celebrity supporters, and it is quite difficult to rely on such a mixture of scholars and celebrities.
Unless, he is willing to attach to a family rich, it is possible to quickly rise to fame.
Otherwise, in addition to facing Shilin's implicit exclusion, he also has to face the so-called sneer and cynicism of his predecessors.
Lin Sha did not plan to take the traditional literary path from the beginning, but instead planned to play an alternative way, taking the path of ‘real literature’, and intending to be a reality critic.
No, he specifically conducted an in-depth detailed investigation and understanding of the four kinds of "clothing, food, housing and transportation" of ordinary residents of Luoyang City, and then recorded it through relatively plain text.
Fortunately, a large amount of white paper appeared on the market, and the small workshops under his hands also made a little white paper supply from time to time, which was enough for the huge consumption of his writing.
If you still use the bamboo slip records, nothing else is to say that engraving all the characters on the bamboo slips is a piece of trouble, not to mention the good things like diffusion influence.
In the era of bamboo slips, because of the inconvenience of inscription and copying, it was convenient for powerful families to monopolize knowledge and culture.
Because the knowledge and culture at this time is indeed a tool that can be directly controlled!
In other words, in the era of bamboo slips, because of the inconvenience of lettering, all the so-called famous celebrities, regardless of their own talent level, are at least not bad carvings.
Some particularly talented people, or those with strong hands-on skills, even play tricks in lettering, which can be called a generation of engravers!
The mass production of white paper avoids a lot of trouble in the era of bamboo slips. Not to mention the diffusion of knowledge, paper books are much stronger than heavy bamboo.
Isn’t there an idiom called
Khan Niu Chong Dong
? In fact, it is a bamboo slip of a cart. The weight of the machine requires heavy cart pulls. In fact, the text recorded in this bamboo slip is estimated to be only as much as a normal paper book. .
Obviously, those powerful family members have realized that the appearance of paper books may seriously impact their monopoly on knowledge.
They did not have the courage to ask the Spirit Emperor to interrupt the mass production of white paper. This is a very crazy industry to pay for money. With the degree of money embezzlement of the Spirit Emperor, anyone who dares to propose to him must be unlucky.
Besides, it is really convenient to record text in paper books. In the past, it was very difficult to excerpt a book. The process of engraving text alone took a lot of energy and a lot of time.
They still figured out a way to deal with it, that is, as many white papers appeared in the world, they would work together to win as many as possible. Anyway, the Spirit Emperor only sold paper to make money, but no matter who actually bought the paper.
Therefore, although white paper has been launched for more than half a year, there is basically no white paper in the market, and all of it falls into the hands of a wealthy family.
These powerful families do not waste a lot of white paper. They organize all the readers under their hands, take the most valuable knowledge of the Chinese family, store them all on paper, and then bind them into volumes. Continue to be the family's most valuable intellectual wealth!
This is true of all families with a little background. At that time, the so-called celebrities in Luoyang City were almost extinct. They were basically wiped out by the family's rich family in the city. They were either copying books or busy copying the knowledge on bamboo slips to paper. .
It is quite convenient to have knowledge recorded on paper. They don't just copy it once, but copy many copies at once. Those who are quite prestigious in the family must have one copy.
Although knowledge is only spreading within the family, the tendency to spread is hard to stop.
After the celebrities recorded all their knowledge on paper and bound multiple copies, some family members with active brains began to use the family and their fame to exchange the books on hand with other families.
At first, it was naturally sneaky, and it also caused fierce conflicts between family members and between families. For this reason, many unpleasant things happened.
But later, seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, the celebrities' desire for knowledge exceeded everything. Finally, the family leader had no choice but to start the knowledge exchange mode between families.
This is how the knowledge held by the rich and powerful families began to spread slowly and influence spread. It’s not that someone is good at ‘Mao Shi’, ‘Jing Jing’, and so on. At least in Luoyang’s family circle, the knowledge they have mastered has begun to circulate.
The time is still short, and you can't see anything at the moment. When the new knowledge is digested and absorbed by each family, there will basically be no one who enjoys certain aspects of knowledge alone.
There are such unfamiliar families, and the rest of the families are not vegetarians. They will definitely take some measures to force this unfamiliar family to follow their example and bring out their own knowledge to make it public in their own circles.
This is the power of paper, easily breaking through the barriers of knowledge dissemination, so that the great families in Luoyang City began a happy and painful journey of knowledge exchange.
During this period, it was not without celebrities who recorded their academic achievements into a volume and copied hundreds of gallons into the market in one go, wanting to further expand their influence and popularity.
No one is a fool. In the era of the Bamboo Slips, because it was not easy for Cheng Shu to want to be famous in Shilin, it was only touted by other celebrities in addition to his own knowledge.
In this way, it has caused a rather bad phenomenon, that is, celebrities who are born in a wealthy family, and their names are obviously much larger than those of ordinary clan.
This naturally caused a lot of contradictions, because it is not easy to separate one, two, three, etc. because of different knowledge of each.
There is no relatively broad standard, whether it is really talented or indiscriminate, it is indeed quite unreliable to distinguish the superiors.
Unless geniuses such as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are able to show a remarkable level of talent, otherwise it is difficult to distinguish one from the other.
However, the appearance of paper has changed all this. As the speed of knowledge exchange among the clan giants has become faster and more frequent, everyone's knowledge has become quite broad within a small circle.
Really talented people soon made their mark, and the guys who were indiscriminate could no longer swindle.
However, there are three, six, nine, etc. between the family and the rich. The obviously stronger the family, the better the reputation of the celebrities they have. The celebrities who have insufficient family power but are consciously amazing are naturally unwilling. Too.
The right to speak in the circle is firmly in the hands of a top family. This is determined by the strength of the family, not a reality that can be changed by one or two talented celebrities.
They can't easily change the negative impact of the family strength, but they can make up for the deficiencies by other means. It is a very good way to expand their influence by recording their academic experience into the market.
It is a pity that the height of the devil is high, and the large number of papers has seriously threatened the monopoly and dominance of knowledge of the top clan giants. How can they allow those celebrities with ordinary strength to challenge their dominance in the field of knowledge?
It’s still a simple method. Buy, buy, buy as many books as you can. Anyway, these top wealthy families are all rich and rich, and there is usually no place to spend a lot of money in their hands. It is really generous to use them to buy books now. , Local tyrants are too bad!
This is the current situation of Luoyang cultural circle, which is quite closed and exclusive!
In order to monopolize knowledge, these clan giants really exhausted their means.
Books such as Taixue and Dongguan books are now basically replaced with paper books. This should have been the best source of knowledge, but they didn’t know how Luoyang’s clan giants operated. They actually moved. The emperor, a greedy man, took all the paper books in Taixue and Dongguan collections as wealth and held them in his hands.
Students who study too much want to take away books for study, yes, they can buy them with money!
The Confucian Ph.D. of Dongguan Book Collection wanted books here, but they still had to buy them with money!
Emperor Ling set the price as a high, standard blackhearted merchant, and even sent eunuchs and Yu Linwei to supervise in order to prevent Tai Xue students and doctors of Jingxue from taking books away.
In this way, although Taixue students and Dr. Dongguan still buy a lot of books, they can treat these books as treasures because of the huge cost ~EbookFREE.me~ will not easily show people.
In this way, the huge Taixue and Dongguan collections didn't even publish on the market, and they had to be praised by the means of the rich family.
In addition to Luoyang, even the rest of Dazhou’s clan tyrants moved to Luoyang in order to purchase a large amount of paper and books.
Their arrival makes the price of books rise all the way, and it is impossible to let the books that flow into the market fall into the hands of other classes. Knowledge is still firmly controlled by the clan.
Lin Sha spent a little time to understand the situation of Luoyang City's cultural class and couldn't help shaking her head and grinning.
It seems that only when the price of paper falls to the affordable range of the Hanmen, and the advent of printing, can books and knowledge spread on a large scale!
In order to control the books and knowledge, the family tycoons have tried their best to do their best. They have to say that they are really powerful. There is basically no circulation of books on the market, and cultural knowledge is still in the hands of a small number of people!
Lin Sha did not have the idea of ​​breaking this situation, he just wanted to take advantage of the convenience of the paper to make him famous so that others would not dare to ignore his existence easily, but not so great sentiment, we must teach the world.
Even the saints haven't done it, so he is a warrior with a little strength.
He took out a stack of manuscripts about the clothing, food, housing and transportation related to ordinary people in Luoyang City. He first found the Yangqiu, asked him to help him, asked him for his opinions, and then read it to Cai Yong and Lu Zhi. .
"Good writing!"
When Yang Qiu looked at these manuscripts, he immediately seemed to find a confidant. He looked at them carefully, and couldn't help but applaud. Many of the contents of these manuscripts are the real situation that he does not know...
