Chapter 439: The person who guides the way

The door of the workshop was pushed open, and the sound of grinding stones came out inside. There was some dust in the air, which made Cao Pi wave in front of him.

He looked inside and saw the affairs clearly. A group of craftsmen polished and the stones in their hands, polished the stones into regular squares, and then carried them by people to the hands of the next group of craftsmen. The next group of craftsmen wrote different words on the stones, and after writing, the stones were moved to the hands of the next group. The last group of craftsmen carved the words on the stones according to the written words.

Until the stones were carved and someone moved them to a room, the people in the room seemed to be not craftsmen, but some gentlemen. They selected the stones and put them in square boards, doing something that Cao Pi couldn't understand.

"Mr. Gu, this is......"

Cao Pi looked at the matter in front of him in confusion. Didn’t Mr. Gu say he would take him to read a book? He didn’t see a single book.

"Follow me." Gu Nan did not answer him directly, but took him into the room where the stones were arranged.

When the gentlemen saw Gu Nan coming in, they smiled and said hello. They often saw Gu Nan here and gradually became familiar with him.

Before he could enter the room, Cao Pi smelled a scent of ink. After entering the room, he realized that the room looked much larger than the one outside.

There were also a group of craftsmen in the room. After the teacher arranged the text, the craftsmen would ink the arranged square plates and then cover them with papers.

Then, in Cao Pi's shocked gaze, the blank paper was printed with words. When the ink was almost dry, then the white paper was taken down, and it happened to be a page of text.

Finally, these pages will be classified and sent to the last few rooms, where the pages will be compiled into books and become books.

"Zihuan, you said that using this method can you get enough books for everyone in the world to read? Then did you lose this bet?"

Gu Nan walked to a table, picked up a page of paper with words printed on it, and looked at Cao Pi beside him.

Cao Pi was still stunned and did not answer. He was a little confused. The one in front of him was obviously just a very simple method, but why has never been thought of by anyone in ancient times? When he came to Mr. Gu's hands, it turned into decay and turned into magic.

"Zihuan." Gu Nan saw that Cao Pi was still stunned and smiled: "Did you want to break your promise?"

Cao Pi came to his senses, stood up straight and said calmly: "Of course not, but."

His face showed a look of embarrassment and confusion: "Mr. Gu, why did you ask me to do this? This is a difficult thing for me, but for you, I think it should not be a difficult thing."

"Why can't it be? It takes money to build a college." Gu Nan said with a smile.

Cao Pi's face turned dark. It was indeed what he thought. This person was here to cheat money again.

But then, the smile on Gu Nan's face calmed down and put the pages back on the table and said.

"Besides, I can't always be here, and I can't do some things myself."

She will never grow old or die. No one will think about it if she never grows for ten years. If she never grows for twenty years, others will just say a few words. If she never grows for thirty years, it can be said that she has good maintenance. But if she never grows for forty years and doesn’t even have a trace, she may be seen with a strange look. It will be even fifty or sixty years.

She couldn't stay in one place for so long, and she would have to leave sooner or later.

And she only knows one thing about too many things, but not the other.

Although she had traveled for a long time, she only learned a hundred theories, but later physics, mathematics, chemistry, philosophy, etc. began to forget more and more, but these are indispensable and cannot be wrong.

She does not have the ability to study the crystallization learned by these countless generations and countless well-educated people alone.

She didn't learn much about these things in the past, and now she can only write down one concept, write down some ways out and the beginning, and point out a path that is probably not wrong.

So there are many things that she can only make a start, or plant a seed, point out the way, so that later generations can follow this path.

She also believed that sooner or later, this kind of seed will grow into a big tree in the sky, and sooner or later, this road will become a road to the sky.

For this reason, what she must do now is to plant the writing seeds, print and cloth, and the collection of books in her backpack, which are these seeds.

She will not be the one who has reached the end and received attention and hymns from generation to generation. What she can do is the one who stands at the starting point and silently points out the way to everyone who comes.

"Mr. Gu." Cao Pi frowned: "Why can't you always be here?"

He had some bad premonition in his heart. Is Mr. Gu planning to leave?

"Haha, people will always die one day, right?" Gu Nan called out casually and covered up the past with a vague explanation.

She smiled slightly and looked at Cao Pi seriously.

"You just need not forget what you promised me."

······

In the evening, the door in front of Gu Nan’s mansion was knocked, and Gu Nan sat in the yard, so he went to open the door himself.

Standing outside the door was Cao Cao, which surprised Gu Nan a little. Cao Cao had never come to her mansion.

When he walked into the mansion, Cao Cao looked around in surprise: "Mr. Gu, why don't you have a single attendant in your mansion?"

Gu Nan smiled indifferently and said, "I like to be quieter. Apart from Qi'er, there is only one chef at home."

The two of them sat down in the yard, perhaps because of the silence, they could even hear the sound of the wind passing through the hall, and the crisp birds singing in the distance. The flowers and branches swayed in the flowerbed beside them, and the shadows of trees in the yard made people unconsciously calm down.

Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "It's better to be quiet."

Gu Nan picked up the teapot on the table: "There is no wine at home, so just drink some tea."

As he said that, he gave Cao Cao a cup of tea.

"Mr. Gu." Cao Cao picked up the teacup and said, "Today I heard Zihuan say, did you take him to the bookstore?"

Cao Cao always knew that Kong Rong was doing the matter of printing books and writings, and he agreed with this matter, but he had some doubts about teaching the world. He also knew that he should tell Gu Nan that there might be an explanation, so he came here today.

"Mr. Gu, are you preparing to learn the world?" He asked Gu Nan after taking a sip of tea.

Gu Nan put down the teapot and said, "Yes."

Cao Cao touched his beard. He knew that this was a good thing, but he still had some concerns.

Looking at Cao Cao, Gu Nan smiled at himself. She naturally knew what Cao Cao was thinking. He was afraid that the people would be uneasy after they were knowledgeable.

"As early as the pre-Qin period, Confucius once said that there is no difference in teachings." Gu Nan said slowly with a teacup.

"But after doing it, there will always be various problems."

Cao Cao's frown slightly loosened his brows, and he knew Gu Nan could see what he meant.

"But Meng De, if people in the world are good at learning, they will have more talents. If they can produce more talents, the country will be prosperous and strong, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be peaceful and peaceful." Gu Nan continued.

"Therefore, abolishing governance means ignoring the people, and good governance means more profits. Incompetent people are afraid of more talented people under their rule. On the contrary, the more they are better. Mengde, I don't think you are the former."

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, but thought to himself that Mr. Gu's eloquence is also really powerful.

"Finally." Gu Nan drank a little bite of the tea in the cup.

"Meng De thought why the Han Dynasty was so great, the Han Dynasty itself was one, and the princes were the second."

"If only aristocratic families can study, it is difficult for poor people to have a way out, and the courts in the future will probably not escape the time when all officials are from aristocratic families. At that time, all aristocratic families are in power, where is the court?"

"So, we should not use the troubled times to govern the world, learn from all the people, and open up the way out for poor people. We will use our goal to check and balance the aristocratic families in the future."

Gu Nan said a lot, but this last point is the most important thing, and it is something Cao Cao had to think about.

The yard under the tree was silent, and Gu Nan finished drinking the tea in his hand.

Cao Cao laughed. He believed that he was not an incompetent person or a person without tolerance. So why can't he learn from the world?

If you do this, it should be his own contribution in history.
