The door of the workshop was pushed open, and the sound of grinding stones came out from inside. There was some dust in the air, which made Cao Pi wave his hand in front of him.
He looked inside and saw the affairs clearly. A group of craftsmen polished the stones in their hands, polished the stones into a regular square, and then carried them to the hands of the next group of craftsmen. The next batch of craftsmen wrote different characters on the stones, and after writing, the stones were moved to the hands of the next batch. The last batch of craftsmen carved the words on the stone according to the words that had already been written.
After the stones were carved, someone moved these stones into a room. The people in the room seemed to be not craftsmen, but some gentlemen. They picked stones and put them into square boards, doing some Things that Cao Pi couldn't understand.
"Mr. Gu, this is..."
Cao Pi looked at the affairs in front of him in puzzlement. Didn't Mr. Gu tell him to take him to read a book? He didn't even read a book.
"Follow me." Gu Nan didn't answer him directly, but led him into the room where the stones were lined up.
The gentlemen greeted Gu Nan with a smile when they saw him coming in. They often saw Gu Nan here and gradually became familiar with him.
Before entering the room, Cao Pi smelled a smell of ink. After entering the room, he realized that the room was much larger than it looked from the outside.
There are also a group of craftsmen in the room. After Mr. arranges the words, the craftsmen will ink the arranged square boards, and then cover them with sheets of paper.
Then, under Cao Pi's astonished gaze, words were printed on the blank paper, and when the ink was almost dry, the white paper was removed, which happened to be a page of text.
Finally, these pages will be sorted and sent to the last few side rooms, where the pages will be compiled into volumes and become a book.
"Zihuan, you said that with this method, you can get enough books for the world to read, so you lost this bet?"
Gu Nan walked to a table, picked up a page of printed paper on it, and looked at Cao Pi beside him.
Cao Pi was still in a daze and didn't answer. He was a little puzzled. What was in front of him was obviously a very simple solution, but why it had never been thought of by anyone throughout the ages. In the hands of Mr. Gu, it turned decay into magic.
"Zihuan." Seeing that Cao Pi was still in a daze, Gu Nan smiled, "Aren't you trying to break your promise?"
Cao Pi came back to his senses, stood up straight and said calmly: "Of course not, but."
There was a look of embarrassment and doubt on his face: "Mr. Gu, why did you ask me to do this. This is a difficult thing for me, but for you, I don't think it should be difficult. "
"Why not, building an academy requires money." Gu Nan said with a smile.
Cao Pi's face darkened, it really was what he thought, this person came to cheat money again.
But then, the smile on Gu Nan's face subsided, and he put the page back on the table and said.
"Besides, I can't always be here, and there are some things that I can't always do in person."
She will neither grow old nor die. If she is not old in ten years, others will not think much about it. If she will not be old in twenty years, others will just say a few words. If she is not old in thirty years, it can still be said to be well-maintained. But if you are not old for forty years, and you don't even have a trace, you may be seen with strange eyes. Not to mention fifty years, sixty years.
She can't stay in one place for that long, she has to leave sooner or later.
And she has too many things that she only knows about one, but not the other.
Although she has traveled for a long time, what she has learned is only the theory of a hundred schools of thought, and the physics, mathematics, chemistry, and socialist philosophy of later generations have begun to forget more and more, but these are indispensable and cannot be wronged.
She does not have the ability to study the crystallization of what countless generations and countless learned people have learned by herself.
Regarding these, she didn't learn much in the past, and now she can only write down a concept, write down some way out and start content, and point out a path that probably won't go wrong.
So there are many things, she can only do a beginning, or plant a seed, point out the way, so that later people can walk along this road.
She also believes that sooner or later this seed will grow into a big tree, and sooner or later, this road will become a road to the sky.
For this reason, what she has to do now is to plant the seeds of writing, printing and publishing, and the collection of books in her back basket are these seeds.
She won't be the one to go to the finish line to be watched and sung by generations. What she can do is the one who stands at the starting point and silently points out the way to everyone who comes.
"Mr. Gu." Cao Pi frowned: "Why can't you always be here?"
He had some bad premonition in his heart, is Mr. Gu planning to leave
"Haha, people will die one day, right?" Gu Nan casually typed a haha, and covered up the past with a vague explanation.
She smiled slightly and looked at Cao Pi seriously.
"Just don't forget what you promised me."
······
In the evening, there was a knock on the door in front of Gu Nan's mansion. Gu Nan was sitting in the courtyard, so he opened the door by himself.
Standing outside the door was Cao Cao, which surprised Gu Nan, Cao Cao had never been to her house before.
Entering the mansion, Cao Cao looked around in surprise: "Mr. Gu, why don't you have a single servant in your mansion?"
Gu Nan smiled nonchalantly: "I like to be quiet, there is only one cook in the house besides Qi'er."
The two went to the yard and sat down, perhaps because of the silence, they could even hear the sound of the wind passing through the hall, and the clear and crisp birdsong in the distance. The flowers and branches in the flowerbed beside him were swaying, and the shadows of the trees in the yard were whirling, which made people calm down unconsciously.
Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "It's better to be quiet."
Gu Nan picked up the teapot on the table: "There is usually no wine at home, so let's drink some tea."
As he spoke, he gave Cao Cao a cup of tea.
"Mr. Gu." Cao Cao picked up the teacup and said aloud, "I heard from Zihuan today that you took him to the bookstore?"
Cao Cao has always known that Kong Rong was doing the printing and engraving of books, and he agreed to this matter, but he has always had some doubts about the matter of teaching the world. He also knew that he should tell Gu Nan that there might be a solution, so he came here today.
"Mr. Gu, are you going to teach the world?" After taking a sip of tea, he asked Gu Nan.
Gu Nan put down the teapot and said, "Yes."
Cao Cao stroked his beard, he knew it was a good thing, but he still had some worries.
Glancing at Cao Cao, Gu Nan smiled to herself. She naturally knew what Cao Cao was thinking. He was afraid that the people would be in trouble if they became educated.
"As early as the pre-Qin period, Confucius once said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning." Gu Nan said slowly while holding a teacup.
"But after it's done, there will always be various problems."
Cao Cao's slightly frowning brows loosened, he knew that Gu Nan had seen what he meant.
"But Meng De, if people in the world are good at learning, they will have more talents, and if they have more talents, the family and country will be prosperous and strong, and the family and country will be prosperous and strong, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe." Gu Nan continued.
"So abolishing governance is a vain attempt to fool the people, and good governance is to benefit the people. Those who are incompetent are afraid of being governed with more talents. On the contrary, the more the better. Mengde, I don't think you will be the former."
Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, but thought to himself, Mr. Gu's eloquence is also really good.
"Finally." Gu Nan took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"Meng De thinks why the Han Dynasty is like this, the Han Dynasty itself is one, and the self-reliance of the princes is the second."
"If only people from aristocratic families can study, it will be difficult for poor people to find a way out. In the future, the court may not escape the time when officials are all from aristocratic families. At that time, all aristocratic families will be in power. Where will the court be?"
"That's why, it's better to take advantage of the troubled times to govern the world at this time, to educate the people, and to open the way out for the poor people. In order to check and balance the aristocratic families in the future."
Gu Nan said a lot, but the last point was the most important, and it was something Cao Cao had to think about.
There was no sound in the yard under the tree until Gu Nan finished drinking the tea in his hand.
Cao Cao laughed. He thinks he is not incompetent, nor is he intolerant of others, so why can't he teach the world
If this is done, it is Qingshi, and he should have a fortune.
"It's just that Mr. Gu has hurt my family, Zihuan, and he is still shutting the door, thinking about how to build that academy that is enough for people from all over the world."
