Chapter 1858: Not limited by me
"But in order to maintain stability, the price is still higher, after all, the technology is worth the price." Chen Xi may also feel embarrassed and explained slightly awkwardly.
I don’t know if it was because Cao Cao was hit too hard this time or what happened, but Cao Cao deeply engraved Chen Xi’s words in his mind.
"Besides, even if these things are priced higher, they will not affect the lives of the people. White porcelain and glass mirrors are luxury goods after all." Although the price difference is too large, it is indeed a bit embarrassing, but I have to admit that Chen Xi has indeed considered this aspect.
"But paper and roads have a huge impact on people's lives, and it should even be said to be a transformative impact. Because of transportation, many people will never leave their former residence for a hundred miles in their entire lives. For paper, even 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 Wanjuans and Wanlilu represents knowledge and the other of Wanlilu represents experience. To some extent, it can indeed destroy the wealthy families represented by me." Chen Xi was hoarse when he heard this, but nodded and admitted Cao Cao's words.
"The cost of that paper is probably similar to those before?" Cao Cao said, staring at Chen Xi's clear and clear eyes without evading.
"Well, it can be relatively higher. After all, the quality of the paper I made has been very high from the beginning." Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Of course, if the price is reduced, it is actually no problem to drop to the level of one penny per piece."
"Then why not popularize education? Did Taiwei Liu promise on the altar of Mount Tai that he would open wisdom for all people in the world? Chen Hou should not forget it." Cao Cao stared at Chen Xi and asked.
After all, Cao Cao has not been corrupted by time and power. His thoughts and ideals have not yet succumbed to reality. Therefore, Cao Cao is qualified to ask such words, because if Cao Cao can do it, he will choose to do this.
"Because it's useless." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "If the problem of eating cannot be solved, no matter how low the price of paper is, it will be useless. It can only be cheaper for the wealthy families you mentioned, represented by me."
"If the people cannot squeeze out one percent of the full-time people when they support us guys, then I will throw these papers out, which is only a cheap family, because they can get out of stock and they have a complete education system." Chen Xi said to Cao Cao.
"Cao Gong's Cao family is ups and downs, but what is the first thing they do after stability?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao calmly.
Cao Cao recalled his father and his grandfather's generation and nodded silently. After the family came out of poverty, their family began to popularize education for future generations and descendants.
"For us, most things are not something that cannot be said to be that most lower-class people cannot do. Whether it is to find teachers, support students, or find suitable textbooks, it is very difficult." Chen Xi said with a sigh.
"Tell me what is happening right now. Just like Wen Ruo and others, they all said that the book Caigentan should not be used as a primary school reading material, but I can guarantee that there must be someone in the Xun family who has told their descendants step by step about 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 the kind of guy who was irresistible after all. "No, he had to explain such a book to a student about ten years old, so that the students could understand that in addition to the students themselves, they had very high requirements for teachers."
"Let me put it this way, as far as I know now, there are only seven or eight people who can explain this book to a talented and high-quality child. How many students do you think these seven or eight people can lead?" Chen Xi asked back.
"Their friends' nephews, their nephews, can ordinary people meet teachers of this level?" Chen Xi spread his hands at Cao Cao and said, "So save money. When the teacher resources are controlled by the aristocratic family, the more I let go, the more people are suppressed."
"Of course I admit that it was only a while, but do you know how long this period will last according to my estimate?" Chen Xi said to Cao Cao.
"How long?" Cao Cao said with an ugly expression.
"Two hundred years will take two hundred years, and this is still under the steadily moving forward. If the aristocratic family produces some people of the heaven-descending level, it will take more time for the rise of the poor family to rise. So sometimes it is not that I don't do it, but that I can't do it." Chen Xi said bitterly.
In this situation, it is not that Chen Xi does not want to cultivate it, but that Chen Xi has no way to cultivate it. His teaching staff has limited him to death. Moreover, ordinary people cannot afford to support a full-time scholar. As for the current situation, the cost of studying is still too high.
There are so many scholars in the aristocratic family. The problem is that those people don’t talk about being cheated or cheated. It’s really a big deal to do what they have done. Even the master is not allowed to call him. According to the standards of this era, it would be strange if they really teach them well.
However, in the face of this situation, Chen Xi really has no good idea. After all, even if the professor is dedicated or not, Chen Xi is not so easy to evaluate. Of course, these people have tried their best to teach the common words and Te Ching required by Chen Xi.
As for other things, Chen Xi really couldn't force it. This is the style of this era. If you can't meet a suitable disciple, you would rather bring your own knowledge into the coffin as a master. How many of these students who may have never been exposed to books for dozens of generations can meet the standards of choosing disciples?
When teachers were not enough, Chen Xi lowered the paper price and all the cheapest ones were aristocratic families. Therefore, Chen Xi thought it was better to maintain the current high price himself, and at least he could get some pocket money from major aristocratic families.
After all, compared with white porcelain and glass mirrors, the aristocratic families will hesitate to ask for it. Once they buy too much, the tribe will inevitably say that it is extravagant waste. In the eyes of most aristocratic families, these are legitimate expenses, and more or less aristocratic families will not care too much.
So if you use this to cheat money, Chen Xi and the major families are completely willing to fight and the other are willing to be beaten. Just thinking about Zhong Yao's annual money for purchasing paper is higher than his annual salary, you will know how popular transactions between the two parties are.
As for other aristocratic families, although most of them are not as exaggerated as Zhong Yao, they purchase them on time every year. For Chen Xi, it happens to be used to recycle the copper coins hidden by the aristocratic families.
