But if ordinary people want to change their status, the only way is to study. However, even if the whole family devotes all their efforts, they cannot afford to support a scholar. No matter how unwilling they are, they have to give up.
As a result, the lower class people can only rely on the land at home for survival.
But we rely on the weather for our livelihood. Only in years with good weather and good harvests can we have a good harvest. Once a natural disaster occurs, we will have to starve.
When it is difficult to fill their stomachs, how can ordinary people want to study? Even if they want to, there is nothing they can do to change the current situation.
However, there is an opportunity now. As long as she improves the production efficiency of paper and reduces costs, the price of paper on the market will not be too high.
As long as the price of paper drops, the price of books will also drop accordingly, but this is an ideal scenario.
"Zizi, we have successfully made paper according to the steps you gave us, and the quality of the paper is really good."
Li Mengyue felt touched when she saw Gongsun Cheng crying with excitement.
Because she knew that once these papers were on the market, they would have a huge impact on the current paper business and would also change the current situation of readers to a certain extent.
But she still had concerns, and before Li Mengyue could raise the issue, Gongsun Cheng spoke it out.
"Zizi, we can't sell the paper we make easily. Otherwise, if it attracts the attention of someone with ulterior motives, we might lose the chance to keep it."
Li Mengyue knew that what Gongsun Cheng said was true. The family monopolized paper and books. If she intervened, whether it was to make money, to get a piece of the pie, or to allow children from ordinary families to have books to read, she could not rashly enter the paper market.
Hesitation is not her style. Besides, the word "fear" does not exist in Li Mengyue's dictionary.
Even though she is now just a village girl and cannot fight against a family that has existed for hundreds of years, she will not give up.
From the moment she thought of making paper, it would not be used by just a few people, but would enter the market and compete with other companies.
It's because the profit of paper is so high and she happens to be short of money.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. All you have to do is make more paper."
Li Mengyue didn't say what she would do, but just asked the Gongsun family to make more paper.
However, she also knew that as long as the paper was on the market, the cheap and high-quality paper in her hands would soon become popular and replace the paper currently on the market.
At that time, a lot of paper would be needed, and the Gongsun family alone could not meet the demand.
It seems that we need to make plans from now on, produce more paper, and wait for the paper to become popular.
But the town was not yet ripe, and the house looked quite large, but it could not satisfy her idea of opening a paper-making workshop, so she had to move to the village.
After all, the village is quite large, so she can ask the village chief to mark out an area specifically for building a papermaking workshop.
Sometimes you can recruit villagers to work in the workshop.
In this way, even after the reservoir is built, some villagers can still have a job in the village and earn extra income to supplement their family expenses.
"Gongsun Cheng, get ready and move to the village as soon as possible."
"Yes, Koko."
After explaining the papermaking matter to the Gongsun family, Li Mengyue left without staying for dinner.
