Chapter 30 Business opportunities arise
Unlike universities on earth, the colleges of this world are circular classrooms, which look like a plate from above, with the instructor's podium at the bottom of the plate and the sloping edge of the plate being the seats for the students, enough to seat a thousand people.
Entering the huge classroom, Lu Yi casually found a vacant seat at the edge and sat down, and as time passed, more and more students came in twos and threes, and entered the classroom along the entrances in the four directions of the classroom.
Looking closely, I don't know if it's habit or other reasons, all the summoners are wearing straight leather armor and a wide cloak on the outside.
The cloak had a hat, but no one buttoned it up, but hung it behind him, and the wide cloak was over his body, and the shoulder pads protruding from the sides of his shoulders were cushioned, and everyone looked very broad, burly, and imposing. As for the scepter for each person, it is even more indispensable.
Summoner is a class system between the realm and the samurai and the mage, you can wear hard leather armor, but you can't wear iron armor, and the scepter used is also between the realm and the staff and the weapon, which can be used for hand-to-hand combat and long-range spellcasting.
The summoner is very unique, he can fight against the warrior in melee combat, but he is not the opponent of the warrior, and he can also fight against the mage at a distance, but he is doomed to lose to the mage, of course...... The confrontation here refers to the confrontation between peers.
The summoner is a typical everything, all loose, the threat itself is not big, the biggest feature of the summoner, is the summoning beast, no matter what profession, after facing the summoner, the first thing to deal with is the summoner himself, not his summoned beast.
Watching the summoners in gorgeous cloaks enter the classroom, Lu Yi couldn't help but secretly admire, most of the people who can enter the academy are children of wealthy families with small assets, after all, ...... The tuition fee of 100 gold dong a year is by no means something that a child from a civilian family can afford.
As a large number of students continued to enter, the classroom gradually became full, and there were fewer and fewer empty seats, sitting there silently, Lu Yi frowned, I don't know why, he always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Thinking about it, the time for class has arrived, and by this point, eighty percent of the seats in the classroom have been occupied, but twenty percent of the seats are still free, obviously...... The trainees of this gang are not yet full.
"Papa! Papa......" In the crisp footsteps, a long and graceful figure slowly walked to the podium in the center of the classroom, under the gaze of Lu Yi and all the students, the figure put a thick book in his hand, gently placed it on the podium, and said crisply: "Okay students, what I am telling you today is the caste differentiation of summoned beasts!"
"Huh?" Listening to the female teacher's voice in his ears, and looking at the thick book that the female teacher put on the podium, Lu Yi finally knew that something was wrong, it was a textbook!
Originally, Lu Yi thought that he was a newcomer and had not yet found a place to receive textbooks, but when he looked around, not only him, but in fact, all the students around him came empty-handed, and they all had no books in their hands! What was going on? How could such a big academy not distribute textbooks?
Turning his head to look around, Lu Yi quietly moved two positions and sat next to a student on the right.
Feeling Lu Yi's movements, the student frowned, turned his head and glanced at Lu Yi slightly, but he didn't say anything, after all, ...... Seats in the classroom do not belong to any one person, anyone can sit there.
Seeing the other party's frowning appearance, Lu Yi knew that the other party didn't like to bother, because everyone was wearing a wide cloak, so they couldn't see men and women, and now when they sat next to him, they found that this was a girl, a handsome girl with a logo, not how beautiful she was, but her temperament was very good, very quiet, and very pleasant.
Stiffly, Lu Yi lowered his voice and said, "I'm a new student today, and I want to ask you about something." ”
In the face of Lu Yi's inquiry, the girl in the cloak did not refuse, but just nodded lightly and motioned to Lu Yi to speak.
After looking at the podium and making sure that he was not noticed, Lu Yi said in a low voice: "Why didn't the academy distribute textbooks?
"Textbook?...... is that" Hearing Lu Yi's words, the girl turned her head suspiciously and looked at Lu Yi in confusion.
Looking at the girl suspiciously, Lu Yi pointed to the podium and said, "The textbook is the content of the tutor, you see...... Didn't the instructor just talk while reading the book?"
Following Lu Yi's fingers, the girl pursed her lips and said, "That's not called a textbook, it's called a summoning manual!" It is a very precious, very rare and precious book, only a mentor can have one or two, you can buy it if you want, but the price is not cheap, and it may not be able to buy it." ”
Scratching his head suspiciously, Lu Yi subconsciously said: "Is this thing still secret?
Shaking her head, the girl whispered: "It's not a matter of secrecy, the key is that books are very rare, and it is not easy to copy, especially the patterns on them, which are not easy to draw, and they are not nearly complete, so every manual is extremely rare." ”
"Copy!" Hearing the girl's words, Lu Yi opened his mouth, but he closed his mouth sharply, looked at the girl beside him uncertainly, and said, "You mean, the books in this world are all copied by hand?"
looked at Lu Yi funny, and the girl said patiently: "What is so strange what you are asking, what if you don't copy it?"
Hearing the girl's words, Lu Yiru was struck by lightning, and it turned out that ...... It is no wonder that the world has not yet invented printing, and books are copied entirely by hand.
Don't think that a book is easy to print, ordinary books are okay, the key is a book with pictures, then the difficulty is high, it is difficult for ordinary people to make a layout with fine pictures, in this world, only people who specialize in this industry, and after decades of study, it is possible to copy a book, and the time to copy a book is very long, even a month or two to copy a more complex book.
In fact, the books in this world cannot be completed by one person, and people who are good at writing can transcribe texts, leaving blank pictures when transcribing, and then finding people who are good at pictures to draw, which is a precision project that is not even a millimeter.
In the same book, different contents require different diagrams, so even if you ask someone else to draw it, you have to find a lot of people, some are in charge of the character, some are in charge of the array diagram, some are in charge of the runes, and some are in charge...... A book requires the cooperation of five or six highly skilled people to complete the book, which consumes a lot of time and energy.
In Lu Yi's view, printing is very simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is not simple; taking China as an example, it was only invented around the time of the Tang Dynasty, 400 years earlier than that of foreign countries! Moreover, foreign printing technology was actually passed down in China.
The history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, but for the first 4,000 years, there was no printing technology, which is very revealing, especially in foreign countries, if it were not for the Chinese printing technology to spread in the past, I don't know how long it would take to study it.
Gently touching his chin, a golden avenue appeared in front of Lu Yi, since the books in this world are so precious, once he prints a large number of books for sale, wouldn't it be a shortcut to make a fortune!
The current situation is that the price of books is very expensive, and it is difficult to buy, and it is okay for the rich and noble, as long as they have money, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can always buy them, but for most of the middle class, as well as ordinary people, let alone owning them, there are not many opportunities to even see books.
In the past, when he was on the earth, Lu Yi's parents were engaged in individual printing, although there were fewer printed books, but there was too much work to help self-employed people print leaflets, every time Lu Yi got out of school, he had to help his parents make plates, and he knew very well about printing, although there was no machinery now, the efficiency would be much worse, but he was still good at plate making, as long as you could give a sample, we could print it.
Thinking about it intently, Lu Yi excitedly thought about the viable surname of this business, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, what he needed was technology, and he didn't need any backers and backgrounds.
However, after determining that the business can be done, the first problem in front of him is where to get the first book! Even if Lu Yi has the technology and conditions to print, how can he print without books?
It's not just about printing, in fact...... Lu Yi is already a lot behind the others by a lot of classes, so it's best to get a book, study it by yourself, and make up for the lessons pulled down earlier.
Of course, now Lu Yi is learning the basic course, each section is a new course, is the basic content, just like learning mathematics and then learning Chinese, although the previous one is pulled down, but the new learning is still brand new, it can be learned, each lesson is about the foundation of the foundation, no need for other knowledge as a foundation, just learn it directly.
Although I really wanted to continue to ask the girl, Lu Yi also knew that it was class time, and it was best to put it after class if there were questions, otherwise it didn't matter if I couldn't learn something, but it would be bad if I delayed others because of this.
I took a deep look at the delicate girl, no matter what, this time it was someone who helped him, and he couldn't forget about it when he ran out, and he still had to greet him politely when he met in the future, and he should not forget the people who helped him, whether he helped a big or a small favor, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he still had to reciprocate.
The so-called grace of receiving a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention that this is not just the grace of a drop of water, people have wasted so much saliva and spirit for her, if the next time they meet, they will completely forget about people, it will be too much to say.
Putting down the matter of printing, Lu Yi listened attentively, for now, what the tutor is explaining is still the theoretical surname, and the content of the definition of the surname, so that the students can have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the summoner, and after recognizing the essence of the summoner, they can start from themselves, according to their personal conditions, according to the surname and characteristics of their summoned beasts, choose their own development direction.
A class is very long, from morning to noon, there is no rest time in the middle, who wants to go to the toilet or something can quietly stand up and go, after all, the class is so big, there are thousands of people, who has something to raise their hand to ask for instructions, that class probably does not need to do other things.
