"Ah?"
Li Shi Min and the others were stunned, not knowing what Li Ke meant.
But they soon understood.
A eunuch was holding a plate with a thick stack of white paper on it.
Two eunuchs carrying a black wooden machine slowly walked in.
"What is this?"
Li Shi Min and the others were curious.
Li Ke did not answer, but asked back.
"Everyone, why do aristocratic families monopolize knowledge?”
"This…"
Everyone looked at each other.
No one could answer.
The ancients and modern people had different thoughts. They had never thought about this problem at all.
Li Ke shook his head.
Fine, don't expect them to think about this problem. It's better for this king to say it personally!
"The reason why the aristocratic families can monopolize knowledge is because they have a lot of knowledge.
Firstly, the cost of spreading knowledge was too high, so it could not be spread.
Secondly, the price of learning knowledge was too high. Ordinary people could not learn it.”
"Um…"
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and the others were still dumbfounded.
Li Ke explained again.
Even though there was paper making in this era.
However, due to the lack of skill, the paper was rare and precious.
Moreover, the printing technology was extremely backward.
Therefore, it was very difficult to print a book for ordinary people to read.
Due to the limitations of technology, the cost of producing a book was very high, so it was difficult to make books universal.
This was also the reason why it was difficult to spread knowledge.
How could an ordinary person have the time to study?
They were all waiting to dig for food to fill their stomachs.
There was no time to study at all.
Although there was a saying of poor literature and rich martial arts.
However, studying also required the support of money.
Just like in modern times, most people couldn't study abroad.
However, aristocratic families were different.
They annexed land and occupied a large amount of land.
The commoners worked for them as tenants, and they only needed to collect the rent.
In this way, they could harvest a large amount of food without having to work and fill their stomachs.
The rest of the time could be used to study.
And studying made them the ruling class of this era.
This was the difference between commoners and aristocratic families.
"And this paper is a paper that this king has improved.
Not only was the quality of the paper better, but the production speed was also much faster.
The most important thing was that the cost was very low, less than ten percent of the current cost of making paper.”
Li Ke took out a piece of white paper and introduced.
In his previous life, he had studied the art of making paper online, so it was not too easy to improve it.
"Good quality!
The production speed was fast!
More importantly, the cost was less than 10% of the current paper-making technology!”
Li Shi Min and the others were shocked, looking at the paper in Li Ke's hand in disbelief.
If what Li Ke said was true, then the situation of the aristocratic families sealing off knowledge would be broken.
"And this thing is called the Living Print Machine!”
Li Ke put a piece of white paper on it and then slowly stirred the capstan.
rustle ~
Black words slowly appeared on the white paper.
"This…is a divine artifact!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and the others shouted at the divine weapon.
How easy would it be to print a book with this thing?
With books, the aristocratic families 'monopoly on knowledge was broken.
He had completely dug out the roots of the aristocratic families 'monopoly on knowledge.
"Lord Zhangsun.
With these two things.
Could aristocratic families still monopolize knowledge?
Can you still be high and mighty?"
Li Ke asked indifferently when he saw this.
Rebellion?
The commoners were not stupid and would not rebel with the aristocratic families.
Knowledge monopoly?
The new paper-making technique and Living Print directly broke through and solved this problem from the root.
"No!"
Zhangsun Wuji slowly exhaled.
He knew that the situation in the world had changed again.
Because of Li Ke.
The appearance of the toppling divine weapon last time had directly saved a large amount of labor.
And now, the emergence of the new paper-making technique and the living printing technique had directly broken the monopoly of the aristocratic families on knowledge.
It was all because of Li Ke.
"And this king also plans to build a school.
The kind that provided food and accommodation.
They would select the best seeds from the common people and train them to become scholars.
He wanted to break the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocratic families as quickly as possible.”
Li Ke said confidently again.
Establishing a school!
The kind that provided food and accommodation?
Fang Xuanling and the others were stunned.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't understand.
Building a school and managing food and lodging placed great financial pressure on the court.
With the current financial pressure of the imperial court, it was impossible for them to afford it.”
Fang Xuanling said slowly.
Li Ke shook his head.
"Milords.
Don't forget about the Heaven Palace Sect.
The Heaven Palace Sect is far more profitable than you can imagine. It is definitely enough to afford the cost of building a school.”
Snow salt, honeycomb briquettes, and a divine tool for turning the earth!
These items were all sold in the Great Tang, and the profits they earned were incredible.
The price of building a school was definitely enough.
"Yes!"
Li Shi Min nodded.
He didn't know how much money the Heaven Palace Sect had earned.
However, it was true that snow salt, honeycomb briquettes, and earth-turning divine artifacts sold well hotcakes.
"Lord Zhangsun Wuji.
Sirs!
Father!
Was there still a need to kill the An Wu family now?”
Li Ke said lightly.
Everyone fell silent.
The situation that they regarded as a great disaster was easily broken by Li Ke!
