Chapter 188: The Great Emperor's Cultivation Five
The two brothers seemed to be very skilled, one brushed the ink to cover the white paper, the other took a roller to roll it, and then uncovered the white paper, and with a tacit understanding, a hundred sheets were printed in a short time.
Since the ink still needs to be dried, a large area of white paper is laid out.
Each piece of paper is printed with dense text, as well as some illustrations, calculations, and the like.
There were 486 pages, or 486 engravings, and Brandy told the brothers to print a total of 100 sets of books, so they had to brush 48,600 times.
This kind of printing speed would have been crashing slow in previous lives, but in the Oskaia continent, it would be crashing fast.
Even if it is ten seconds to print a piece of paper, it only takes a few days to print these 100 sets of mechanics.
A 486-page book is already a tome, and if one person is asked to write it with a pen, it is not known how long it will take, and the workload of 100 sets will be overwhelming.
Now it only took two people a few days to produce so many books that Glenn was dumbfounded.
The principle is understandable at a glance, there is nothing complicated at all, but it is just a matter of engraving the content on the engraving, and then brushing it with ink and rolling it.
"Frandy, Frandy!" Glenn ran to Frandy's workbench again.
"Huh, surprised, huh?" said Frandy with a smile.
"You're so amazing that you can come up with this method!"
"Well, so now I have another suggestion, which is to create a cultural department dedicated to printing books. ”
"Of course, it's a must!"
Gülen rubbed his hands together excitedly, and a large number of printed books, that is, a large amount of knowledge, whether it was a commoner or a nobleman, would give his full support, because it was the progress of mankind.
"Glenn, do you know how to make the empire strong?" said Frande.
"As you said, you want everyone to be well fed, warmly clothed, have a house to live in, have something for the old to rely on, and for the young."
"It's just the basics, it's about making the lives of civilians better, it doesn't mean that the empire is strong! ”
Gülen thought about it carefully, and after a while, he said, "You want humans to defeat the Demon Beast?"
"Then how can you defeat Warcraft?"
"Of course we need more magicians!"
"Then how can there be more magicians?"
"Uh......" is now a Glanka.
Flandi stopped drawing drawings and began to teach Gülen specifically.
"To build a strong empire, you need to do two things, one is science and the other is education!"
"Science is new technology, new knowledge, I understand that. ”
"Yes, but who will inherit new technologies and new knowledge?"
"Of course it's the people from the Academy of Sciences!"
"Okay, but there are only a few people in the Academy of Sciences. Although those people can be regarded as talents, they are still too few. ”
"Flandy, you mean you want the children of the common people to go to school?"
Glenn wasn't stupid after all, Flandi had already spoken very thoroughly, and when he saw the book Tom and Jerry was printing, he immediately guessed what Flandi meant.
"That's right, if you want the empire and the human race to be truly strong, you must have universal education for all. ”
Gülen didn't speak, but thought carefully.
"Gülen, do you think there's any obstacle to letting civilians read?"
"Well, since the Saint-Kyle calendar, it has been the children of the nobility who have been studying, and the commoners are not nothing, but it must be the kind of extremely intelligent people who have the opportunity to read. ”
"How did you pick out the most brilliant people?"
"Of course there is a recommendation from the nobles?"
"Do you think it would be right or wrong to let everyone, whether nobles or commoners, have the opportunity to study?"
"My sanity tells me that it should be right, but I've never done it before. ”
Frankie understood that Gülen was stuck in a limited mindset. So he sorted out the language and continued: "I haven't done this before, so what's the reason?"
Before Gülen could speak, Franky continued: "First, children from poor families, when they are eight or nine years old, are considered a small laborer, right, they can also help the family do a little work. ”
"yes. This is one of the reasons. Gülen did not deny it.
"Second, children from poor families cannot afford to study, whether it is the cost of reading or the way out after studying, it will make poor families regress. ”
"The way out after reading the book. This sentence got Gülen to really think.
"Third, I'm afraid that some nobles will openly and secretly suppress the children of the commoners from studying. ”
Gülen was shocked, this situation is indeed there, even if the children of the commoners are extremely smart, Oskaia University will admit some children of the commoners, but these children are indeed very bullied and even suppressed in the class composed of noble children.
Even if these children are capable and can work in various departments of the empire when they grow up, at most they will just make a living, and no matter how mediocre the children of the nobility will rise, the room for rise will be much higher than that of the children of capable commoners.
Think of this New Year's Palace dinner. No matter how hard the children of the commoners work and pay, it will not happen, because this is a gathering of nobles.
The Melward family worked hard for hundreds of years to finally become a viscount, which was bought at a special time with a great deal of money, and His Majesty Haman could break through the tradition with a single word, skip the title of earl, and directly canonize as a marquis.
What is it? While everyone is happy with the result, what does this mean?
"But Flandie, why do you have to be so obsessed with letting commoner children go to school? You are also a nobleman, and a top nobleman!"
Gülen didn't understand why Flandy was doing this.
"That's the point of view, I'm a nobleman, but I'm thinking from the perspective of humanity as a whole. ”
"Thinking from the perspective of the whole human race?" Glenn felt Flandy's pattern suddenly grow taller.
"Yes, Glenn, think about it, how many children are there who can enter the magic academy every year and test their magical talents, and how many of these children can become magicians?"
"There are only a few hundred people in total. Almost a quarter of those who can meditate and practice, and a quarter or a fifth of those who can become magicians. ”
"That's right, only a few dozen people a year have the potential to become magicians, and even fewer actually become magicians for one reason or another. ”
"Hmm. ”
"In the past, it was true that the essence of magic was too precious to supply too many magicians, but now?"
Glenn suddenly realized, yes, the problem of restricting the development of magicians has been solved, so why not expand the recruitment? Even if you use magic essence, you can also smash many magicians.
The entire imperial capital has a population of more than 200,000, and with the surrounding towns, the population can exceed one million. If you look for children with magical talents among these million people, how many magicians will appear in ten years, twenty years from now.
Thinking of this, Gülen began to get excited again.
Flandy's suggestion was too timely, and if he had been following the previous tradition, he would have wasted such a great opportunity for the rise of humanity.
"I'll do it right away!" Gülen was a little anxious now, such a good opportunity was in front of him, and he was simply not worthy of being the emperor if he procrastinated.
"Wait, Gülen, this can't be done in a day or two, you don't have to be in a hurry now, the most important thing is to plan well. ”
"Planning?
"Does the Empire only need magicians? what about children who don't have magical talents?"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"Education, whether there is a talent for magicians or not, all children need education!"
In his previous life, Flandi had almost eliminated illiteracy, and how the great motherland rose can be understood from various sources, and education is one of the most important ones.
Therefore, he already has a sense of belonging in this world, so he will wholeheartedly encourage Gülen to set up education.
Although Glenn is now hesitant to read to the children of commoners because of his identity, Flandi is confident enough to convince him.
