Chapter 466: Bickering
"Jiayi, how did you grow the elf rice?"
At Jiayi's home, Alwin asks about Jiayi.
It's been a while since I visited the paper mill, and Alwyn and Jiayi are more familiar with them, so they often come to "visit the door".
Although March didn't like them very much, she didn't stop them, so as not to appear stingy.
Alwin was still very interested in Jiayi, especially how Jiayi cultivated the elven rice, she was very curious.
Many people have ideas about elf rice, but there are those who can be planted, but none of them can really be scaled, and most of them can only be used for ornamental purposes, and the cost is much more than what they want to buy, so it is not cost-effective at all.
Kaichi showed a polite smile: "Alvin, I said, I won't admit it. ”
Hearing Jiayi's words, Alwin looked a little helpless, Jiayi's answer was a bit of a scoundrel, saying that it was negative, in fact, it was telling you that I just didn't want to tell you, but Alwin couldn't force Jiayi.
You can't go up and choke Kaichi by the neck to force him to say it, and it's still a secret in name, and theoretically speaking, what Arwin said is without evidence.
Erwei looked at Jia Yi with some displeasure and said, "What is there to keep this secret from us? What is the point of your denial like this, we all know it." We won't steal your technology, your technology is of little use to us, why wouldn't you tell us? ”
Jia Yi doesn't care about Erwei's words, Aierwei is a spoiled child, because there are several older brothers and sisters who are pampered, and there is basically no possibility of inheriting the throne, plus the talent is good, so he has developed the character of a bear child, but that is to say, he is a little more impulsive, but he has not done anything excessive.
"Technology is technology anyway, and I'm not admitting anything, and I don't know what you want to know. ”
Jia Yi played a scoundrel, and the two people on the other side were a little helpless, Jia Yi changed the topic and said: "The academy has announced the method of papermaking, aren't you interested?
Hearing this, Alwyn frowned slightly: "To be honest, I have some doubts, the damage to the environment of the paper mill is too great, which makes me hesitate whether to build a paper mill in Elf Rice." ”
"Huh?" Jia Yi showed a puzzled expression, isn't there a sewage treatment system for environmental pollution?
Aierwei then said: "Papermaking requires cutting down a large number of trees, which is too damaging to the environment, we have been to Beishui City to see, you said that a large part of the forest outside Beishui City has been cut down, used to open up rice fields, and used to make paper, which is too harmful to nature." If we were to build a paper mill in Arlon, it would certainly be inevitable to cut down the forests of Arlon, which would be opposed by our people. ”
Jia Yi looked at the other party in disbelief, expressing his puzzlement: "However, if you don't use paper, then you have to use parchment, which requires the slaughter of a large number of animals to make it, isn't it more inconsistent with your concept of harmonious coexistence with nature?
"No, not really. Arvin's face was a little ugly, "Arlon also produces parchment, and there is also parchment made of magic bell leather for sale. But there are always conservative forces in each community who refuse to change, who are accustomed to the making of parchment, but if a large number of trees are cut down, they will jump out against it, and they will not care about the beneficial outcome of the matter, but will only blame the harmful parts.
"Sometimes, they don't think they don't exist when they don't see it, and they don't even see it. ”
Jia Yi remembered the story of "The Gentleman Cooks Far Away", and he shrank his head and became an ostrich. As an elven princess, Arwen can't think too one-sidedly, otherwise it is easy to understand what signal is being released.
He made a helpless expression, he had no interest in the internal affairs of the elves, and he did not have the ability to interfere.
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to like to discuss this issue, Elway quickly changed the topic and said, "Although your academy does have some unique things in magic, it teaches very little anything other than magic. If we were in the Elven Academy, we would not only teach archery and magic, but also wild plant identification, animal communication, art, opera, etc., but none of these in the Dragon Root Academy, it seems that you have nothing else but magic, especially in art, your cultivation is still too weak. ”
Elves are not the same as humans, they live longer, so they are less impatient to do things, spend longer time in the academy, and receive a more systematic and rich education.
However, this teaching process is certainly not suitable for humans, although humans are more capable of learning, but they spend a lot of time outside of magic, and they also take longer to learn. Elves only passed their childhood at the age of 16 and entered adolescence at the age of 60, and humans did not have such a long time.
By the standards of the earth, elves are educated according to the standards of art students, but magic is the standard science.
Jiayi can't refute it, and he doesn't need to refute it, after all, every race is different, and he doesn't need to compare his own shortcomings with the strengths of others, there is a kind of elf to compare the birth rate with humans, and in terms of creativity, in terms of total amount, humans are actually superior.
The human base is here, and everyone does not need to be all-rounder, but the elf population is not so large, fortunately, they have enough time to learn, otherwise the elves would have been reduced to a second-class race.
Even so, in order to recuperate, the elves fled to Oceanic Continent.
However, Jia Yi's silence made Erwei a little proud, and continued: "The cultivation of human mages is still too poor, and it is not as good as our elf academy at all, you see the current students of the academy, even if the art is not even comparable to our elves who have just entered the school. ”
Jia Yi felt a little unhappy, Erwei was a little too arrogant, Jia Yi knew that what he said was not really wrong, but people have a kind of emotion, their own people can complain about their hometown, their own school, their own country, but they are not allowed to say it.
That's how Kaichi feels now.
"There is no artistic accomplishment in our college, I just drew a sketch when I first entered the school, and there was nothing special, it was just expressive, and it seemed to be quite popular. At the end of last semester, I wrote a manuscript, Professor Gwen didn't know what to think, and helped me publish and distribute it, which was not an achievement, but thanks to the affordability of my fellow painters, it seemed that the sales were not bad, but the printing press had a heavy task, and it had not been able to schedule a second printing, and I heard that someone had already increased the price to buy it. ”
Jiayi deliberately said it lightly, but Erwei was really speechless.
Jiayi's sketches are already self-contained, and they are also considered to be a precedent in the current art world, although there are still some gaps compared to the top painters in the past, but it is not obvious, and as a figure such as the patriarch of the school, there are always some halo bonuses.
Now if he says that his sketches are average, no one dares to say that they are better than him, and other people's sketches are imitated by him.
And although the elves have art and other teachings, there are also those who teach painting, but these junior ones still teach appreciation more, even if they really concentrate on painting and other arts, it is difficult to compare with Jiayi, who opened a precedent.
Although if you look at it as a whole, the Dragon Root Academy and the Elven Academy are not comparable at all in terms of artistic achievements.
But who called Longgen Academy to have the demon of Jiayi - the current Jiayi can barely be called a demon.
Alwyn was amused to see that his brother wanted to refute it, but couldn't find any reason to refute it. She is also a little happy to see her brother eat deflated, and children always have to suffer some setbacks.
Elway's face was flushed, and the topic he provoked, with his arrogance, he didn't bother to play tricks.
Seeing that he was already a little in a hurry, Alwin hurriedly said: "Okay, don't compare with Jia Yi, you must know that although human beings do not live long, there will always be some geniuses, and each race has its own unique talent, so there is no need to be entangled." There is nothing shameful about admitting that you have weaknesses. ”
