Chapter 220: Subverting Perception

"Needless to say, it must be revenge on the imperial court!" Queen Gongsun said.

"The Empress is right!" Qin Mo gave an appreciative look, and then continued: "So, everyone reads the Four Books and Five Classics, but how to understand it is their business. No one knows what kind of person the person who taught him is. who.

Whether you love doing it or hate it is very important.

To me, if you want to change this situation, you have to start from childhood and make sure that all children of ordinary people can read!"

Li Shilong nodded, Qin Mo's words spoke to his heart, "You are right, if children have books to read, there will still be so many problems, but the key is, without books, they can't afford to read.

Paper, pen and ink, and books are not something they can afford."

"Father, this is what I think. No matter how hard it is for my children, no matter how poor I am for education, I have little education and no education, so sometimes I envy those talented people. I heard that they don't even need to go to the land of Goulan. It costs money.”

Li Shilong was shocked by the first half of the sentence, and even thought it was very reasonable, but in the second half, he gritted his teeth angrily, "In your eyes, the advantage of studying is that you don't have to spend money to go to Goulan Place?"

Qin Mo shrank his neck, "That's what I said, there's no need for you to react like that!"

"You already have Yu Shu and Chai Shao's daughter. If you dare to go to Goulan Land, I will break your legs!" Li Shilong said angrily.

"Mother, look at him. He breaks my legs and scares me at every turn. He is not kind at all!" Qin Mo complained quickly.

"Okay, Your Majesty, don't keep scaring this child!" Empress Gongsun hurriedly pulled Qin Mo over, "Although your father is a bit fierce, he is also doing it for your own good. Those women in the hook bar are not clean, so wait for you When you marry Yu Shu, your mother will reward you with some maids, so don't do anything wrong, do you understand?"

Qin Mo nodded obediently. Who wouldn't respect such a considerate mother-in-law?

"Anyway, we need to train more students, give them books, and let people teach them. The effect will not be seen in a short time, but I think that after ten years, Daqian will definitely have a constant supply of talents.

There are many aristocratic families, so how can there be so many people in the world? After three generations, if the aristocratic family is giving up, then just let them go!"

Qin Mo's words made Empress Gongsun's heart surge, "Look, those people are not as insightful as my son-in-law. They hide their little thoughts every day and talk about benevolence, justice and morality. They say they are for the world, but they do all dirty things. .

Your Majesty, we should listen to Qin Mo and train and educate more children. When the time comes, will they dare to explode?"

Li Shilong also nodded in affirmation, "However, I want to overwhelm them as soon as possible. I am not young anymore. Even if I can still be emperor for another twenty years, what will the next generation do? Without me, it is hard to say whether Cheng Qian can overwhelm these people. Woolen cloth!"

He also had a worried look on his face at this time. This was also the first time he said such words in front of a foreign minister and son-in-law.

This is enough to show how much he values ​​and values ​​Qin Mo.

Li Xin made a mistake before, why did Li Shilong take Qin Mo with him?

He just planned to train Qin Mo to be Li Xin's confidant, and wanted Qin Mo to help Li Xin more.

"Li Yue also talked to me about this matter before, and we also discussed a way. If there is no paper, then we will make paper; if there is no pen and ink, then we will make pen and ink; if there is no book, then we will print books!"

"Li Yue also discussed this matter with you?"

"Yes, he has always said before that he wanted to help his father to convince the family, but he was too gentle and it was difficult to talk about many things, so he had to talk to me.

To be honest, I don't like hearing this at all. It's annoying to death. It annoys me every day!" Qin Mo began to give up the credit again, because what he was going to say next would not only shock the family, but also fundamentally change the situation. Strong cultural education!

"Then tell me what you talked about." Li Shilong waved his hand, Gao Shilian and Feng Jin exited the Lizheng Palace, and the two dispersed the palace people outside the Lizheng Palace, and then the two stayed behind Doorway!

Qin Mo said: "Actually, it's nothing. He just said that if he wants to change the current predicament, he must cultivate more scholars, and it is best to make it affordable for everyone."

"I also know that this is the solution to the fundamental problem, but do you know how much a book costs? An engraved book costs at least ten taels of silver, and the Four Books and Five Classics all start at fifty taels.

It is simply not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if a person devotes all his time to studying a book, he must be taught by a suitable teacher. In addition to cultivating, he must also pay tribute to the teacher.

A large piece of paper would cost at least 150 taels, and after a year, it would cost at least dozens of taels!

You also need a writing brush and ink sticks. A better Langhao brush costs five taels of silver, and a worse one costs one tael of silver.

Not to mention the ink sticks, which can range from a few taels to hundreds of taels. On average, if you want to train a scholar, you need to prepare at least a hundred taels of silver a year, and they also need to prepare their own dry food!" Although Li Shilong lives in a temple, But he was also young. Before the Li family overthrew the Zhou Dynasty, they were also nobles, so he knew a lot about scholars.

"My father was right about what he said. Li Yue asked me that day if I could make pens, inks, paper and inkstones affordable for everyone, and be able to mass-produce them as much as I wanted!" Qin Mo said.

"How is this possible? The pen and ink are fine, but paper and books are very rare." Li Shilong rejected it at once.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Qin Mo held his head high, "I've already thought of a solution!"

Li Shilong's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid, "Idiot, are you serious?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you, but this is what I discussed with Li Yue. For the pen, I can find something cheaper to replace it with!"

"what?"

"Then use the black edge!"

"Isn't that similar to coal? It can also be used to replace a pen?"

In Qin Mo's time and space, coal was called graphite in ancient times, and graphite used to make pencil lead was called black edge.

The same is true in Daqian.

As a time traveler, although Qin Mo can write calligraphy with a brush, it is too laborious to write and is not as good as a quill or a pencil!

Moreover, making pencils is actually quite easy and not difficult, and the materials are simple.

The most important thing is that Xishan Coal Mine produces graphite.

"Coal is coal, and black rim is black rim. Coal cannot be used to make pens, but black rim can!" Qin Mo said: "A pen only costs one or two cents, and a pen can probably write thousands of dollars." A word!"
