Chapter 220 Subversion of cognition
"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 Daqian or hate Daqian, this is very important.

For me, if you want to change this situation, you have to start from childhood, and let all children of ordinary people read books! "

Li Shilong nodded, and 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. 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 have 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 stream of talents.

There are many aristocratic families, how can there be so many people in the world?After three generations, if the aristocratic family is giving up, 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 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 no longer young. Even if I can be emperor for another 20 years, what will the next generation do? Without me, it is hard to say whether Cheng Qian can overwhelm these people. !”

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 has talked to me about this before, and we have also discussed a solution. 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 my 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. Every day Come and bother me!" Qin Mo began to take the credit again, because what he was going to say next would not only shock the aristocratic family, but also fundamentally strengthen Daqian's 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 of them stayed behind The door!

Qin Mo said: "Actually, it's nothing. He just said that if he wants to change the current predicament, he must cultivate more scholars. 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 50 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 brush and ink stick. A better Langhao brush costs five taels of silver, and a worse one costs one tael of silver.

Not to mention ink sticks, they 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 is high in the temple, he was once young. Before the Li family overthrew the Zhou Dynasty, they were also nobles, so he still knows a lot about scholars.

"My father was right to the point. Li Yue asked me that day if I could make pens, inks, paper and inkstones affordable for everyone, and be able to mass-produce as many 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 raised his head, "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 was something Li Yue and I discussed together. 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 it is not as good as a quill or a pencil!
Moreover, making pencils is actually quite easy, not difficult, and the materials are simple.

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

"Coal is coal, 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!"

Li Shilong's eyes widened, "A pen can write thousands of words? Doesn't it need to be dipped in ink?"
