Chapter 877 The Usefulness of Printing

"Miss, oh no, ma'am."

"Welcome to the Princess of Hanzhong's Mansion."

Diao Chan smiled slightly and saluted.

Cao Jie suddenly felt a sore nose and hugged Diao Chan directly, tears welling up in his eyes.

Diao Chan was transferred by Cao Cao a year ago, and Cao Jie was very unhappy at that time.

However, she did not dare to disobey her father.

However, she didn't know that Diao Chan actually ran out secretly.

Diao Chan's purpose is to let Bai Feng take her out of Xuchang.

Diao Chan always felt a little unsafe in Xuchang.

In addition, Lingju and Lu Lingqi were both under Bai Feng's command, so Diao Chan left without saying goodbye.

Cai Yan on the side also smiled slightly at Cao Jie.

Cao Jie was even more shocked:

"Zhao Ji? Why are you here?"

In fact, Cao Jie and Cai Yan had known each other a long time ago.

Cai Yan is a famous talented woman in the whole north, and so is Cao Jie.

The two have the same interests and hobbies, and they have often talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before.

It's a pity that Cao Jie never saw Cai Yan again after he got a little older.

Until Cao Jie learned about Cai Yan's tragic situation from Bai Feng.

He was kidnapped by the Huns and suffered humiliation.

He also left two children.

Although she was less than ten years older than Cao Jie, she suffered pain that Cao Jie could not imagine in his life.

But now it's all over.

Cai Yan's two children have been exterminated along with the Xiongnu ethnic group.

Cai Yanquan thought that he had never had these two children.

In fact, Cai Yan only felt extremely humiliated towards these two children.

Therefore, Cai Yan has always been grateful to Bai Feng.

After learning that Bai Feng was going to marry Cao Jie, Cai Yan took the initiative to come to Hanzhong, hoping to become Cao Jie's maid.

Bai Feng didn't want to agree at first.

After all, the Cai family where Cai Yan belongs is considered a famous family.

Although Cai Yan was kidnapped, her identity is still there.

A maid is a slave. There is a huge difference between a slave and a young lady from a wealthy family.

But Cai Yan said it didn't matter.

Later, Bai Feng thought about it carefully, and it actually didn't matter.

At worst, he will be like Diao Chan, no need to be a slave, just serve Cao Jie.

Apart from the two of them, Cao Jie basically didn't know anyone else. If these two people were here, if he was often away from home, Cao Jie would at least have someone he could talk to.

After Cao Jie reunited with his two friends after a long separation, Bai Feng also quietly retreated.

I haven’t been back to Hanzhong for so long. There are still many things to do in Hanzhong today.

At this time, Liu Ba happened to come looking for Bai Feng, and the two of them walked outside the prince's mansion while talking.

"Master Marquis, I have already done what you asked me to do with Lord Yan."

Liu Ba said with a smile:

"Now that this private school has just been opened, why don't you, Lord Marquis, go take a look?"

Bai Feng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he had always wanted to set up a private school before.

Bai Feng also mentioned this matter to Liu Ba and Yan Pu once.

However, the efficiency of these two people is so high.

In such a short period of time, the private school was actually set up?

"Okay, I should go take a look."

Bai Feng said with joy in his heart.

Things like private schools still have to be held.

Although most of the people today have enough food and clothing, they are basically illiterate.

Bai Feng plans to change this situation bit by bit starting from Hanzhong.

Since the power of the gentry is to be weakened, it is natural to promote the poor families so that the two sides can check and balance each other.

This noble family can become an official mainly because they have received education.

But the poor family did not.

In other words, today's Han Dynasty has no imperial examination system at all. Even if a poor family has read the books of sages, it will be of no use.

In this case, most talents will only be buried.

Bai Feng also communicated with Cao Cao about this matter, and Cao Cao was very supportive.

Cao Cao did not exclude talents from poor families. In fact, several of the generals and civil servants that Cao Cao liked were basically from poor families.

Cao Cao clearly saw their abilities.

For example, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Bai Feng, etc. all came from poor families.

They are no worse than the children of the noble clan.

Soon, the two came to the newly established private school.

The location of this private school is relatively remote, actually far away from the commercial area.

After all, children need a quiet place if they want to study.

This area has been cleared by Liu Ba and Yan Pu. People can live in the surrounding area, but trading is strictly prohibited.

As soon as Bai Feng entered the door, he saw about a dozen children.

They are all studying the "Three Character Classic" with the teacher.

Beyond that, there's some simple arithmetic.

This is basically equivalent to the level of a modern kindergarten.

These three-character classics and arithmetic were both proposed by Bai Feng, and Liu Ba and Yan Pu followed them correctly.

However, the teaching environment is still a bit crude.

The teacher could only talk eloquently, and the children were confused.

But this cannot stop their desire for knowledge.

Bai Feng couldn't help but frown slightly and asked Liu Ba to invite the teacher out.

"Greetings to the Marquis and Mr. Liu."

The teacher saluted respectfully.

Bai Feng waved his hand and said:

"If we continue teaching like this, will the children learn quickly?"

The teacher shook his head helplessly and said:

"I dare not deceive the Marquis. In fact, teaching like this is very slow."

"The little man copied several copies of the Three Character Sutra and distributed them, so that the children could learn to read and recite it."

Bai Feng couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"This efficiency is really too slow."

"Now there are only about twenty students, and they only teach the Three Character Classic, which is not bad."

"What if there are hundreds of students?"

Hearing Bai Feng's words, Liu Ba and the teacher couldn't help but look at each other.

Obviously, the two of them didn't have any good ideas.

Bai Feng smiled slightly and said:

"Didn't I give you the method of printing before?"

"Why not use this printing technology to print textbooks?"

"Textbooks are books used for teaching. These books can be distributed to children."

"I have everything I need to learn."

"You might as well print out the Three Character Classic and arithmetic that you are learning now, and hand them to the children. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

Liu Ba was stunned when he heard this, and then said:

"But……"

"Sir, this printing technology is not easy to use. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Besides, we don't have a printing factory now."

"After all, although this printing technique is good, it feels a bit useless."
