Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 175 172, the cost of knowledge monopoly is higher
too heavy?

Chen Yuan shook his head.

In fact, this is also a trick Chen Yuan played for the powerful family.

Do you really think that the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic are so easy to collect?
It was a deterrent.

Because Chen Yuan was going to use printing to print the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic.

If those powerful families saw the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic in a unified font and format appearing in front of them, what would they think?
Delighted or apprehensive, or opposed?

There is no shortage of smart people in powerful families, to be precise, there are too many smart people among them.

If it weren't for too many smart people, there wouldn't have been three kingdoms fighting for decades, and in the end Sima Yi, an old cunt, would have been missed.

As long as there are fewer smart people, China has long been unified.

For example, without Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, etc., would Boss Cao directly win Jiangdong and Jingzhou in the battle of Chibi?
Although it is a hypothesis, people of insight may wish to use their imagination to deduce it.

So they must have been able to see the dramatic changes brought about by improved papermaking and printing.

The threshold for learning knowledge has become lower.

what does this mean?
It means that it is impossible for a powerful family to monopolize knowledge.

Once a knowledge monopoly cannot be formed, and countless mud legs have opened up their wisdom, how can they occupy the advantage of wisdom to oppress these mud legs.

Apart from joy, fear and suppression are inevitable.

This technology must be in our hands, or we would rather not have it.

Powerful landlords are no different from capitalists.

All equally filthy.

However, Chen Yuan is not afraid.

If you want to suppress, just come.

Now that the Liu Bei Group has become a major trend, anyone who suppresses it will be in vain.

It's not that Chen Yuan insists on confronting the powerful families, but the main reason is that Chen Yuan will have to confront sooner or later on the path he wants to take.

If these people were smart enough to keep up with him, Chen Yuan didn't have to wipe them all out.

He is very much looking forward to the transformation of this powerful family into a school lord.

In this era, there are many scholars.

Although there are all kinds of shortcomings in Xuebao, they are still much stronger than these tyrants who put all their minds on the land.

And it is also conducive to its own outward expansion policy.

Chen Yuan is going to use Xiangyang Academy as the foundation, based on the Gongyang School's great unification and great revenge theory, and fully carry forward the idea of ​​leading the land, the land of the king, the people of the land, and the ministers of the king, to establish a global unification theory.

Chen Yuandao: "Brother, not only is it not important, if it wasn't for the lack of time, I even wanted to print out the Five Classics and give them as a gift?"

The Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Text are not many and can be printed.

But the five classics add up to too many words, it’s too late, let’s talk about it later.

When Chen Yuan said this, Cai Yong and Liu Bei immediately showed surprise and suspicion.

"Zichu, where did you get so many people to copy books for you?"

"Copying books? No, I'm printing books!"

"Printing books?"

"Yes, printing books, you can get thousands of books with a thousand words in one day."

"what!!!"

Cai Yong and Liu Bei were shocked.

Liu Bei was fine, but he almost overturned the table in front of him.

Cai Yong immediately lost his composure, and his beard was broken.

As a great Confucian of the generation, he understood the weight of Chen Yuan's words too well.

Regardless of his own beard, Cai Yong stared at Chen Yuan: "Zi Chu is serious?"

Chen Yuan said solemnly: "There is absolutely no falsehood!"

Cai Yong immediately got up when he heard the words: "Quickly, let me go and see these magic arts."

Chen Yuan looked at the excited Cai Yong, and knew that if the old man didn't see him today, he would definitely not let it go.

Forget it, it's nothing to show Liu Bei and Cai Yong.

So, the three of them went directly to the small courtyard of Chen Yuan's house.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are watching closely.

Seeing Chen Yuan and the others coming, they hurried forward to salute.

Liu Bei interrupted the two with a wave of his hand: "Zilong, Zishou, don't be too polite."

After speaking, he followed Chen Yuan to the set of movable type.

Cai Yong and Liu Bei looked at this set of movable type and looked at Chen Yuan.

Question marks all over your face?

Is this what you mean by magic?

It's just a pile of mud, of course, after Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's real power burning, it is as crystal clear as ceramics.

But still mud.

Chen Yuan looked at the puzzled expressions of the two, and didn't say much.

Someone directly brought the ink and the paper made by himself.

Then arrange the thousand movable type according to the order of the thousand-character text.

Cover it with a sheet of paper, and start brushing the ink.

When Chen Yuan took off the paper and saw the vivid fonts on the paper, Cai Yong and Liu Bei were immediately obsessed.

Especially Cai Yong, stroking the printed characters on the paper one by one, just like stroking the skin of a beautiful woman.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

To be honest, these fonts were engraved by Chen Yuan imitating the fonts on the Xiping Stone Classics, that is, Cai Yong's Feibai font.

In fact, Feibai typeface is not suitable for printing, Song typeface is suitable for printing.

But in this era, don't talk about Song Dynasty.

Use italics.

This set of movable type is just a test product.

Next, Chen Yuan decided to invite Cai Yong and Zhong Yao to write a set of thousand-character prose for use as a model.

Cai Yong's Feibai typeface can be used as a gift to those tyrants.

Zhong Yao's regular script is used as a popular book.

Because italics is easier to learn and circulate than Feiqibai.

It's not that Chen Yuan doesn't want to use Song style, no one will.

Chen Yuan invented it himself?

He is not so awesome, he directly invented a set of fonts.

Although Song typeface is often used in later generations, it is all on the computer. If you ask him to write a beautiful Song typeface, it will be like a dog climbing a cliff.

Chen Yuan still doesn't show his ugliness.

It took a long time for Cai Yong to return to normal, but the paper in his hand had no intention of returning it to Chen Yuan.

"Zichu, this is a magical weapon and magical art. With such a magical tool, thousands of books are printed every day. If things go on like this, all my people can read and write. This kind of enlightenment is no less than that of the sage Confucius."

Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

My own teacher is still a little naive.

Having a book does not mean that you can read and study.

Reading and studying is a high-cost thing in any age.

Even in modern times, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain a better education.

Knowledge monopoly still exists, but compared with ancient times, the threshold is much lower.

But no matter what, this is a huge improvement, which can greatly enhance the wisdom of my Chinese people.

Only when there are more people who can read and write, more talents will be produced, and the cost of knowledge monopoly will be higher, forcing those who already have knowledge to spend more time and energy on improving themselves.

Of course, they can also destroy the technology.

But Chen Yuan categorically did not allow it.

Therefore, they have only one way to spend more time and energy to form a new knowledge monopoly.

This is good for China.
