Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"However, in order to maintain stability, the price should be higher. After all, the technology is worth the price." Chen Xi might also feel embarrassed and explained with a little embarrassment.

I don't know if it was because Cao Cao was hit too hard this time, or what happened, Cao Cao engraved Chen Xi's words deeply in his mind.

"Besides, even if the price of these things is higher, it will not affect the lives of ordinary people. After all, white porcelain and glass mirrors are luxury goods." Although the price difference is too large, it is indeed embarrassing, but I have to admit that Chen Xi has indeed considered it. this aspect.

"However, paper and roads have a huge impact on people's lives, and it should even be said to have a transformative impact. Because of traffic problems, many people will never leave their former residences for a hundred miles in their entire lives, and paper, even me. I know, this can destroy the wealthy family represented by you." Cao Cao suddenly looked at Chen Xi with a gloomy expression.

"Well, one of Wanjuanshu and Wanlilu represents knowledge, and the other represents experience. To some extent, it can indeed destroy the wealthy family represented by me." Chen Xi was dumbfounded when he heard the words, but he still nodded to admit Cao Cao's words .

"Is the cost of the paper the same as the previous ones?" Cao Cao said while staring at Chen Xi's clear eyes that did not evade the slightest bit.

"Well, it can be relatively higher. After all, the quality of the paper I make has been very high from the beginning." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Of course, if the price is lowered, it's actually not a problem to drop to the level of a penny a sheet. of."

"Then why not popularize education? Liu Taiwei once promised on the altar of Mount Tai to enlighten the wisdom of all people in the world. Don't forget Chen Hou." Cao Cao stared at Chen Xi and asked.

After all, the current Cao Cao has not been corrupted by time and power. His thoughts and ideals have not yet succumbed to reality, so Cao Cao is qualified to ask such a question, because if Cao Cao can do it, He would choose to do the same.

"Because it's useless." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "If I can't solve the problem of eating, it's useless no matter how low I lower the price of paper. It can only lower the price of those rich families represented by me you mentioned."

"If the common people can't squeeze out 1% of the out-of-work people while supporting us guys, then I will throw these papers out, and I will only benefit the aristocratic family, because they can be out of work and they have a complete education system." Chen Xi Looking at Cao Cao said.

"Cao Gong's Cao family is ups and downs, but what is the first thing to do after it stabilizes?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao calmly.

Cao Cao nodded silently when he recalled his father and his grandfather's generation. After the family came out of poverty, their family began to provide universal education to their descendants.

"For us, it is a very simple thing, most, should not be said that the vast majority of the lower class people are unable to do it, whether it is finding a teacher, supporting students, or finding suitable teaching materials, it is very difficult." Chen Xi said with a slight sigh.

"Let's talk about the current situation, just like Wen Ruo and others, they all said that the book Cai Gentan should not be used as a primer, but I can guarantee that there are definitely people in the Xun family who will tell their descendants little by little. Read the thoughts contained in this book." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and said, "Do you think ordinary people can understand it?"

Cao Cao's expression sank, but he is not the kind of messy guy after all, "No, I want to explain such a book to a student who is about ten years old, so that the student understands that apart from the student's own intelligence, there are very high requirements for the teacher. high."

"Let's put it this way, based on what I know now, there are only seven or eight people who can explain this book to a child with high talents. How many students do you think these seven or eight people can lead?" Chen Xi asked back road.

"The nephews of their friends, the nephews of their real surnames, can ordinary people meet teachers of this level?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and said, "So save yourself, when the teacher resources are controlled by the aristocratic family, I let them go." The more it is opened, the more people will be suppressed to death."

"Of course I admit that this is only a period of time, but do you know how long this period of time is according to my estimate?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and said.

"How long?" Cao Cao said with an ugly expression.

"Two hundred years, it will take two hundred years, and this is still under the condition of steady progress. In case the aristocratic family produces some people with a heaven-defying level, it will take more time for the humble family to rise, so sometimes it's not that I don't do it, but It cannot be done." Chen Xi said with a bitter face.

In the current situation, it's not that Chen Xi doesn't want to cultivate, but that Chen Xi has no way to cultivate. The teachers in his hands limit him to death, and ordinary people can't afford to support a full-time scholar. As far as the current situation is concerned, the cost of studying Still too high.

There are so many scholars in the aristocratic family. The problem is that those people didn’t talk about stealing and cheating, but how hard they tried. Even the master is not allowed to call it. According to the standards of this era, it would be strange if they really taught well. .

However, in the face of this situation, Chen Xi really has no good solution. After all, even if the professor is not dedicated, it is not so easy for Chen Xi to be evaluated. Of course, the main reason is that these people have taught Chen Xi as much as possible. Chinese characters and German classics.

As for other things, Chen Xi really can't force it. The style of this era is like this. If you can't meet a suitable disciple, the master would rather take what you have learned into the coffin, and this group of dozens of generations may How many students who have never touched books can meet the standards for these people to choose apprentices?

In the case of not enough teachers, Chen Xi lowered the price of paper to all the aristocratic families, so Chen Xi made a calculation and thought that it would be better for him to maintain the current high price, at least he could get some pocket money from the various aristocratic families.

After all, compared to the current luxuries such as white porcelain and glass mirrors, the aristocratic family will still hesitate to buy more, and once they buy too much, the clan will inevitably preach that it is extravagant and wasteful, while paper, books, etc., in the eyes of most aristocratic families , These are all legitimate expenses, and the aristocratic family won't care too much about more or less.

So if you use this to cheat money, Chen Xi and the big families are completely willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. Just think about Zhong Yao's annual purchase of paper money, which is higher than his annual salary, and you know how popular the transaction between the two parties is. up.

As for other aristocratic families, although most of them are not as exaggerated as Zhong Yao, they still purchase them on time every year. For Chen Xi, they are just used to recover the copper coins hidden by the aristocratic families.

In short, from Chen Xi's point of view, it belongs to people who are stupid and quick to earn money, but to the aristocratic family, it belongs to the proper meaning of knowledge.
