Qian Cang was stunned for a moment, and realized that what he said was indeed a bit out of line. His expression suddenly changed, he knelt down on one knee and lowered his head and said: "Qian Cang knows that I was wrong, please forgive me, Lord Feng Xi!"
"Get up!" Feng Xi said, then turned to Mo Qian and smiled, "Actually, I am also thinking about this matter. Since he has already brought it up, I will take the opportunity to talk about it. I have talked with your Majesty before.
Regarding this matter, I want to open an academy in the empire to teach writing, medical skills, common sense, etc., so I just wanted to ask the high priest for your opinion!"
Mo Qian was a little surprised and said: "Sir Feng Xi, no matter how precious words are, even medical skills are very few in Shifang Continent. Generally, there are only two or three people in an empire who know medical skills, and they have never taught them to others.
Do you really intend to spread such precious knowledge through precedents?"
After the others heard this, their original excitement gradually cooled down, and they looked at Feng Xi and Mo Qian indifferently.
Yes, writing is so precious. Everyone knows that most orcs have never even seen writing! Only the high priests in the empire have always understood writing, and they have never taught it to others. The same is true for medical skills. Only the high priests in the empire know how to write.
Only doctors are qualified to study, how can ordinary people study? This is against the rules!
Faced with everyone's questions, Feng Xi was not in a hurry to refute. She just pondered for a while and asked with a smile: "High Priest, let's not talk about this for now. I am just making a suggestion. The main thing today is to make pottery.
!”
As she said that, she picked up a half-finished product that was burned at first from the ground and showed it to everyone: "Do you think this thing can still be used?"
Mo Qian and others didn't know why he suddenly changed the topic, but seeing that he asked something else, they temporarily ignored his previous words.
Mo Qian shook his head: "Since it has been burned, it cannot be used again!"
"What about this one?" She put down this one and picked up another intact clay pot.
Qian Cang replied confusedly: "This is good, of course it can be used..."
"Okay, then let me ask again, if all the pottery we fire in the future are like this one, what benefits will it have?"
"This, for us, naturally has many benefits. On a small scale, with pottery, we can use it to store various things and cook food, and our daily lives will be much more convenient! On a larger scale,
He said that since our empire can make pottery ourselves, we will no longer have to pay a huge price to exchange with other empires, and can save a lot of materials. In addition, in turn, we can also use pottery to buy from other empires.
We need to exchange supplies with other empires to strengthen our own empire!" Yuan Qi said.
"Okay!" Feng Xi put down the pottery and said with a smile, "Uncle Yuan, what you said is correct!"
"Hehehe..." Yuan Qi smiled and touched the beard on his chin.
Feng Xi walked around casually for a few steps with his hands behind his hands and nodded: "I think everyone's thoughts are similar to Uncle Yuan's. As a utensil, pottery naturally has its value. Of course, this prerequisite is that the pottery must be in good condition. If
Cracked or burned ones are the same pile of waste soil. A small pottery can bring these benefits, but what about writing, medical skills, breeding, planting, or creation, etc.?
So what?"
"I wonder if the high priest has heard a word?" She turned around and asked with a smile.
Mo Qian also understood her intention now, but he didn't know what reason she would use to clear up everyone's doubts. Facing her question, he just smiled and shook his head.
"I once read a sentence, and the original words are as follows: A house is regarded as a utensil, and it should be considered as if it does not exist, and it has the use of utensils; if a house is built as a room, it should be considered as if it does not exist, and it has the purpose of a room. If it is inherent, it is considered to be beneficial, and if it is not available, it can be used as a room.
use."
"This means: when making pottery from clay, only when there is a hollow space in the utensil can it function as a vessel; when building a house by digging doors and windows, can it function as a house only when there is a hollow space within the walls of the door and window. So,
Whether it is 'there' or 'nothing', it has a profound meaning."
"Actually, in other words, writing, medical skills, etc. are all the same. These are indeed precious! But in addition to their preciousness, allowing them to truly play their role and be used in practical applications will fulfill their value.
!”
"If you only think about their preciousness and take them as your own, hiding them and not passing them on, no matter how precious they are, they will be lost sooner or later! But if you give them to others, then
Not only can it be passed down, but it can also be used to do some real practical things. You said, if medical skills are only understood by a few people in the long run and don't use them, they will be raised as treasures. To be disrespectful, if only those few people have
One day, I have reached bliss. Who else in this world knows the medical skills? Who else can save lives and heal the wounded, and hang a pot to save the world?"
"High Priest, Uncle Ape, do you think this is true?"
Yuan Qi said nonchalantly: "I am a rough man and I don't know the reason behind this. But after Master Fengxi said this, it becomes a lot clearer. If Master Fengxi said it, it will be like pottery."
Such extensive teaching of written and medical skills will definitely bring a lot of benefits to our empire."
Mo Qian nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! I have long said that Lord Feng Xi is a man of great wisdom. Previously, our vision was indeed too small."
Feng Xi smiled helplessly: "The high priest is ridiculous! I'm just borrowing the wisdom of my predecessors."
"Being more literate and reading more seems to be of great benefit! Also, if it is only for use and not used for practical purposes, no matter how precious it is, it is still a dead thing! Since Lord Feng Xi has discussed it with your Majesty
, then I have to trouble Mr. Feng Xi to worry about the academy. If there is anything you need from Mo Qian, just come and mention it!"
"Okay, that's settled. As for things, there is indeed one thing that requires the help of the high priest."
"Oh? I wonder what it is?"
"That's it! The high priest has a good memory, is good at teaching, and has a good foundation. He is more knowledgeable than others in the clan. Therefore, your Majesty wants to hire the high priest as the chief dean of the college!"
"Chief Dean?" Mo Qian shook his head and said with a smile, "In terms of knowledge in all aspects, in my opinion, Master Feng Xi is more suitable for this position!"
Feng Xi waved her hands quickly: "The high priest is too modest. To be honest, I am used to being carefree in my daily life. It is okay to teach when I have time, but if I am in that position, I have to abide by various rules and discipline people. I
I'm afraid I won't even be able to take care of my own business! Maybe I'll accidentally oversleep and won't even be able to get out of bed, so why should I care about others?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As soon as everyone heard what he said jokingly about themselves, they laughed out loud.
Mo Qian also smiled helplessly. He also remembered that Feng Xi still had to practice, not to mention that she had to teach those few people to practice. Let her be in charge of the academy, which was indeed a bit busy.
"Okay! Then I will take over this task. If there are important things on weekdays, I will inevitably have to trouble Sir Feng Xi and your Majesty."
"It's easy to say! Then I'll just be a nominal gentleman!" Feng Xi laughed.
