Chapter 22, Borrowed Hands
Faced with a question, the two gave different answers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
[Most of the books are made of sheepskin or animal skins as scribbling materials, so the price is generally more than 50 silver coins, assuming that some books are focused, even a dozen gold coins are priceless.] That's the answer Anastasia gave.
[Priceless, books are the summary of human wisdom, if you talk about it in terms of value alone, each book is priceless, because this is not only the hard work of predecessors, but also the accumulation of wisdom. This is the answer given by Cruxiu.
I have to say that the answers of both people are different, and they both accurately express why. Whether it is Anastasia, who is valued in kind, or Crusius, who values itself more, is correct.
[How popular is the language in this country?] At this time, Black Thirteen threw out another question.
This time, it was Kruxiu who answered alone, after all, Anastasia, who was born in the trading capital of Kararaci, really didn't know very well.
[If it is simply literacy, the average nobleman will ask a private teacher for individual instruction after the age of fourteen.] As for whether or not to further study, it depends on personal performance and interests. 】
[In other words, only the aristocracy has the economy to learn knowledge?]
[Wealthy businessmen will also teach their children to learn, after all, they can be used to inherit the estate, but not every businessman has this economy. Even among the aristocracy, books were luxuries. Whether it is the price of the book or the popularity of culture, Black Thirteen naturally knows everything about it. Now, it's just that it's just a matter of asking again to divert the conversation.
[What is the population of the country?]
[Millions above.] 】
[Half the cultural popularity?]
[This...... There were about 100,000 of them. In fact, this is only the maximum estimate of the number of people, and Cruxiu also knows that the number of people is not so much.
[If you are asked to lead this country, how can you achieve the level of education? 】
[If you only talk about literacy, within ten years, the level of education can be doubled!] For this, Cruxiu naturally also considered, for history and the experience of predecessors, these will be indispensable inheritance. People who have gained the experience of their predecessors are equivalent to standing on the shoulders of their predecessors and looking at the world, which can save future generations from many detours, so even if they spend a lot of money, they will make books as popular as possible, which is also Kluxiu's unique vision to understand how important the inheritance of wisdom is.
[If you know astronomy and geography, and know the ancient and modern times, and you can talk about national affairs at will, how many such people can there be?]
[All such people are talents under national key protection, I'm afraid there are less than dozens of people. 】
Talking about this, everyone had already put down the food in their hands, and all their attention was shifted, but Black Thirteen motioned to Mocha to bring the last hot pot at this moment. Holding a slice of mutton and swinging it in the boiling soup, Black Thirteen muttered to himself.
[In our hometown, the population is far more than 10 million, the cultural penetration rate is all, the age of three can be literate, the age of nine can know history, talk about the future, ......]
[This can never be!] Phyllis stood up. You know, Phyllis has seen first-hand the efforts made by Lord Cruxiu in the field of cultural popularization, but even so, progress is still slow. The population is far over 10 million, and the literacy rate is all over the place! It is not a question of whether or not we can do it or if we work hard, but that it is simply impossible!
It's no wonder that Phyllis, after all, Black Thirteen has crossed over, but he can understand her feelings.
Making money on papermaking and printing is not in the table. And what can really be obtained, how can money measure it? Fame, prestige, which is not more important than money?
[No...... The breath of lying. Kruxiu gasped, and even though he understood the truth of what he said through the protection, his heart was still full of doubts. As Phyllis wanted to say, it's almost impossible.
Nature is not a lie, because this is the truth.
[Eat something, or it will be cooked.] None of the people present had an appetite for this delicacy.
[Yes~Let's eat a little more meow~]
[Well! it's still delicious~]
[Well, the things made by the Pleiades are the best!]
[You're welcome.] 】
Black Thirteen slowly put the dishes into it one by one, and then recalled the days before.
[At that time, life was hard, and I nibbled on instant noodles every day......]
After talking about some hard days and some things like democracy and freedom, and things like the development of science and technology, everyone was full of hope.
And every time Rem heard that she was having a hard time, she always looked like she was worried and wanted to cry.
[If you have the chance, I really want to visit such a magical country, and the last one is really amazing~] Cruxiu absorbs fresh knowledge like a sponge, and is full of curiosity, but even Black Thirteen doesn't know how to go back, let alone visit.
Looking at everyone who had eaten almost the same, Black Thirteen put down his chopsticks. At this moment, everyone lost their previous stiffness, and the atmosphere became lively, but Black Thirteen interjected.
[I know how to make paper and printing. 】
――――――
[Very interesting conversation, I want to see the world you lived in before.] It was the Witch of Lust who suddenly appeared next to Black Thirteen, Akidona, who spoke. At this moment, just as Dream City saw, fair-skinned and dressed in a black gothic dress, holding Black Thirteen from behind with bare feet.
[Your words, don't you just look around in my mind and know everything?] Black Thirteen stood on the windowsill and looked at the bright moonlight, the first time he and Dona met, it was on such a night. If it weren't for the cleverness of myself at that time, I'm afraid I would have been trapped in Donna's Dream City forever.
Thank you before.] 】
[Well, how can you thank me? Just help me kill that silver-haired half-elf and the ghost girl next to you, or you can expel them forever!] Dona responded with a slap from Black Thirteen.
[I used to feel that I had no sense of belonging in this world, and my ability was very peculiar......] I had the ability to return from death, and I naturally couldn't hide the all-knowing witch Akidona, and after listening to and learning more about her deeds, I couldn't afford to resist any emotion.
However, it is most fortunate that she is strong enough to stand on her side, otherwise with such an opponent, she will be helpless no matter how she dies and returns.
[It will be enough to have me in the future!] Dona took the opportunity to rub her face, whether it was rubbing or smelling, a cold breath would not feel very comfortable on this night, and I always felt that I would have trouble sleeping again tonight...... I felt a headache when I thought of this black thirteen, since I came to this world, I haven't slept well for a day, and I can't help but sigh.
It will take a few days for the final conversation to be completed, and Crusius has already shown that he takes this conversation very seriously, and has said that he will not meet for several days. Anastasia, who was the last to leave, also asked Yurius to give Rem the gift she had promised, and said that she would come back in the next few days.
The basic negotiations are almost finalized, and only the details of the final content are left.
Black Thirteen said so much before the meal, just to make the gap between Anastasia and Kluxiu a little smaller, because if you want to use the strength of both sides at the same time, you must deal with the relationship between the two sides.
[No matter what aspect it is, as long as you can make a big contribution as you say, even if it is a competitor of Wang Xuan, you can give in. 】
[The same is true for the Huo Xing Chamber of Commerce~]
Whether Kluxiu really thinks so, Black Thirteen doesn't know. But Anastasia must have gone for this fame, but it was only part of the plan, to give some favor to pull the two of them into bed...... Pull on board and tie everyone up...... (I always feel that this sentence is dirty)
After all, after this, whether it is to make money or help Emilia correct her name, or to increase the success rate of winning the king's election, they need their help, of course, even without their help, Black Thirteen is confident that he can do better, but he is just a person who is very afraid of trouble, and he is willing to ...... If you are willing to give it, you will naturally be able to get it...... (To be continued.) )
