"However, in order to maintain stability, the price should be higher. After all, the technology is worth the price." Chen Xi may also feel embarrassed, so he explained with a slight embarrassment.
I don't know whether it was because Cao Cao was hit too hard this time or what happened, but 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 people's lives. White porcelain and glass mirrors are luxury goods after all." Although the price difference is too large, which is indeed a bit embarrassing, but I have to admit that Chen Xi has indeed considered it.
On this aspect.
"But paper and roads have a huge impact on people's lives. It should even be said to be a transformative impact. Because of transportation problems, many people will never leave their former homes hundreds of miles throughout their lives. As for paper, even I can't.
I know that this can destroy the wealthy family represented by you." Cao Cao suddenly looked at Chen Xi with a gloomy expression.
"Well, one of Wanjuan Shu and Wanli Road represents knowledge, and the other represents experience. To a certain extent, it can indeed destroy the wealthy family represented by me." Chen Xi was speechless after hearing this, but he still nodded and acknowledged Cao Cao's words.
.
"Is the cost of the paper probably the same as before?" Cao Cao said, staring at Chen Xi's clear eyes that did not dodge at all.
"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 moment and said, "Of course, if the price is reduced, there is actually no problem if it drops to a penny a piece.
of."
"Then why not popularize education? Did Lieutenant Liu once promise to open up wisdom to all people in the world on the altar of Mount Tai? Chen Hou must not forget it." Cao Cao stared at Chen Xi and asked.
After all, the current Cao Cao has not been corrupted by time and power, and his thoughts and ideals have not yet succumbed to reality. Therefore, Cao Cao can ask such a question, and he is qualified to ask such a question, because if Cao Cao can do it,
He will choose to do this too.
"Because it's useless." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "If the problem of food cannot be solved, it will be useless no matter how low I lower the price of paper. I can only make it cheaper for the wealthy families you mentioned, represented by me."
"If the people can't squeeze out one percent of the people who are out of work while supporting us guys, then if I throw out these papers, it will only be a benefit to the aristocratic families, because they can get out of work and they have a complete education system." Chen Xi
He looked at Cao Cao and said.
"Gong Cao's Cao family has been ups and downs, but what is the first thing to do after it stabilizes?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao calmly.
Cao Cao recalled his father and his grandfather's generation and nodded silently. After the family got out of poverty, their family began to provide universal education to future generations.
"For us, most, I should not say the vast majority of lower-class people cannot do very simple things. Whether it is finding teachers, supporting students, or finding suitable teaching materials, it is very difficult."
Chen Xi said with a slight sigh.
"Let's talk about a situation that is happening right now. Just like Wen Ruo and others, they all said that Cai Gen Tan should not be used as an elementary school reading. But I can guarantee that there are definitely people in the Xun family who will take care of it and tell it bit by bit to their descendants.
I have read the thoughts contained in this book." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and said, "Do you think normal people can understand it?"
Cao Cao's expression darkened, but he was not that kind of messy guy after all, "No, I have to explain such a book to a student about ten years old, so that the student understands that in addition to the student himself having to be smart, there are also very high requirements for the teacher.
high."
"Let's put it this way, as far as I know now, there are only seven or eight people who can explain this book to a child with a high level of talent. How many students do you think these seven or eight people can teach?" Chen Xi asked back.
road.
"The nephew of their good friend, the nephew of their own surname, can ordinary people meet a teacher of this level?" Chen Xi spread his hands and looked at Cao Cao and said, "So save it, when the teaching resources are controlled by the aristocratic family, I let go
The more open it is, the more people will be suppressed and killed."
"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 estimation?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and said.
"How long?" Cao Cao said with an ugly expression.
"Two hundred years, it takes two hundred years, and this is under the condition of stable forward progress. If the family comes out with some incredible figures, it will take more time for the humble family to rise, so sometimes it's not that I don't do it, but
It can't be done." Chen Xi said bitterly.
The current situation is not that Chen Xi does not want to cultivate, but that Chen Xi has no way to cultivate him. The teaching staff at his disposal limits him to death, and ordinary people cannot afford to support a retired scholar. As far as the current situation is concerned, the cost of studying is
Still too high.
There are so many scholars in the aristocratic family, but the problem is that those people who came here are not talking about cheating and cheating, but how much they have tried. They are not even allowed to be called master. According to the standards of this era, it would be weird if they really taught them well.
.
However, in the face of this situation, Chen Xi really didn't have any good solution. After all, even if the professor did not do his best, Chen Xi would not be so easy to evaluate. Of course, the main reason is that these people have tried their best to teach the common tasks required by Chen Xi.
Zi and De Jing.
As for other things, Chen Xi really can't force it. This is the style of this era. If he doesn't meet a suitable disciple, he would rather take what he has learned into the coffin. This group of people who are dozens of generations away may
How many students who have never been exposed to books can meet these standards for selecting disciples?
When there were not enough teachers, Chen Xi lowered the price of paper and the only ones who could get it cheaper were aristocratic families. Therefore, Chen Xi made some calculations and felt that it would be better to maintain the current high prices himself, at least to get some pocket money from major aristocratic families.
After all, compared with current luxuries such as white porcelain and glass mirrors, aristocratic families will still hesitate to buy them. Moreover, once they buy too much, the clan will inevitably preach that it is extravagant and wasteful. In the eyes of most aristocratic families, paper and books are
, these are all legitimate expenses, the aristocratic family won't care too much if it's more or less.
Therefore, when using this method to defraud money, Chen Xi and the major aristocratic families are completely willing to fight and suffer. Just think about how much Zhong Yao spends on purchasing paper every year, which is higher than his annual salary, and you know how popular the transaction between the two parties is.
Already.
As for other aristocratic families, although most of them are not as exaggerated as Zhong Yao, they still purchase on time every year. For Chen Xi, it is just used to recover the copper coins hidden by the aristocratic families.
In short, in Chen Xi's opinion, this is a matter of people being stupid and making money quickly, but for the aristocratic family, it is the proper meaning of knowledge.
