The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu once talked to Shang Junlin about the difference between movable type printing and Dahuan's existing printing. In comparison, the former is far more practical than the latter.

One of the reasons why the aristocratic family has been able to stand for many years is their heritage, the knowledge accumulated over the generations, and the rich collection of books.

Although Da Huan held the imperial examinations, the competitiveness of students from poor families was far less than that of those from aristocratic families. Part of the reason was this. Students from poor families had access to less knowledge than those from aristocratic families from the very beginning.

It is far from easy for ordinary families to cultivate a scholar.

The impact of the new printing press will be enormous.

Unlike before, where all the content is engraved on one board, the whole board can only be invalidated if one wrong word is made. The new printing method engraves each word separately. When printing different content, you only need to rearrange these words, instead of like As it turns out, only one piece can be re-engraved.

Shang Junlin could have predicted the huge impact of this printing technique. With this method, books can be printed on a large scale, and there may not be any changes in a short period of time. The distance between the poor families is shrinking.

Knowledge is no longer monopolized by aristocratic families, which is extremely beneficial to the real ruler of Dahuan.

For a time, Shang Junlin forgot what was wrong because of Boss Ye, and all his mind was focused on the things in front of him.

If this printing technique can be popularized on a large scale, the influence of the family will become smaller and smaller.

Boss Ye knew that the two were here to see the printing technique, so he took the two inside and let the expert demonstrate it again.

"This method is much more convenient than before," Boss Ye said with emotion. "The cost of printing a book in the past is incomparable to what it is now."

"Yes, in this way, the time, manpower, and material resources required are greatly reduced. In the same time, more books can be printed by this method." Shang Junlin agreed.

Shen Yu looked around curiously. His knowledge of this method was limited to what he learned from other people. He had never seen how it worked in his previous life, and this was the first time he had seen it.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" After walking around, the two returned to the front yard.

Boss Ye did not bother the two of them to be alone, but went to the bookstore to work. After the new printing, the bookstore sold more kinds of books. Previously, because of the special stationery, the bookstore had already gained a good reputation among readers. The word-of-mouth reputation, this time with a wide variety of new books, more customers come to patronize.

There was a snack that Shen Yu liked to eat on the table, Shen Yu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, squinting slightly.

"It really surprises me," Shang Junlin took a sip of tea to ease his mood, "It's just that the family can't know for the time being."

The aristocratic family and the aristocratic family are not in one accord, but if their interests are jeopardized, they can unite as quickly as possible and unite to the outside world. The aristocratic family has been entrenched in this land for a long time. incident.

Moreover, if they knew that all this was done by Shen Yu, they would probably turn all the blame on Shen Yu. They might not dare to do too much because they were afraid of him, but they would never take heavy action against Shen Yu because of him.

In any case, Shang Junlin would not expose Shen Yu to danger.

"Your Majesty is worried about the family's counterattack? We really can't worry about this matter. After all, we have a trump card in our hands, and we will slowly figure it out." Shen Yu understood Shang Junlin's concerns.

"I'm afraid Ayu will be wronged temporarily. I can't give you the credit for the new printing technique for the time being."

Shang Junlin paused for a while, looking at Shen Yu with a complicated expression: "The family is currently too powerful in the capital, and I can't risk exposing you to their eyes."

He was very dissatisfied. If he could solve the hidden dangers of the noble family earlier, why should he feel wronged and depressed now? His Ayu, obviously made such a big contribution, but because of these people, he can only succumb to the back.

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, I will ask His Majesty to take me out. I got this method from somewhere else, and it's not me who really made the results. If Your Majesty wants to reward, just reward these people."

Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand on the table: "I will never let Ayu be wronged."

After returning to the palace, Shang Junlin immediately summoned the prime minister to enter the palace to discuss how to popularize movable type printing.

In the imperial study.

Shang Junlin: "The people under your lord have recently developed a new printing technique, Meng Chang, to give things to the prime minister."

Eunuch Meng handed over the sorted dossier on movable type printing to the prime minister.

To be able to achieve the position of Prime Minister and at the same time become Shang Junlin's confidant minister, the Prime Minister's knowledge and political acumen are top-notch.

After reading it, he didn't speak for the first time, but digested the contents of the dossier for a while before opening his mouth and said, "This method is really good for Da Huan."

"I know, what I'm thinking about now is how to make the family less resistant to it, and also, the relationship between this matter and your nobleman cannot be revealed."

The Prime Minister reacted immediately, His Majesty did this in order to prevent your nobleman from becoming a target of the noble family.

The prime minister could see how sincere Shang Junlin was towards Shen Yu, and because of this, he felt more and more emotional in his heart. With Shen Yu's ability, if he was in the imperial court, he must be a very high-ranking official, but unfortunately he has an unreliable father.

Shang Junlin came to the prime minister to discuss the printing technique, and finally made a preliminary plan to promote it directly among the people. When the family finds out, the imperial court will intervene. As long as there is enough buffer time in the middle, there will be a lot of room for manipulation.

Subei.

With the unremitting efforts of Fang Jun and others, they finally found some clues, and the "friendship" between He Chengyu and Boss Sun is getting deeper and deeper.

After the first transaction was successfully completed, Boss Sun basically dispelled his doubts about He Chengyu, and gradually began to tell him some insider things, and also began to bring him to make friends with some "outside" businessmen.

He Chengyu has observed these people, some of them are from Beimo, and some are from other countries.

"It turns out that it's not just people from Beimo." At night, He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing got together as usual to talk about their discoveries.

"The transactions between these people are mostly normal goods. This Boss Sun has a lot of secrets hidden on his body."

I thought it was just an ordinary businessman, but I didn't expect that the more I got in touch, the more complicated the forces behind him became.

"Boss Sun's forces can have the scale they are today, and they are inseparable from the forces behind him. It's like a tie that connects all the forces."

After knowing that Boss Sun had a certain relationship with the Beimo people, Fang Jun sent someone to check the identity of this person carefully. He was from an ordinary businessman in Subei. There is no useful information in the history of people's fortunes, as if they suddenly rose up overnight.

After finding a breakthrough, Fang Jun ordered people to follow Boss Sun's line to continue to investigate, and maybe he could find more useful information.

Fang Jun called Yao Ji and asked, "Have you heard of Boss Sun?"

During this period of time, Yaoji followed the officials to investigate the case, her temperament has changed a lot, she has become more determined, and her eyes are also very different from before.

Especially after Fang Jiayi's arrival, Fang Jiayi's self-confidence and calmness gave her a great shock, and also affected her personality change invisibly.

"Boss Sun?" Yao Ji recalled carefully, she really let her pull out such a person from her memory, "I saw it, it was at a banquet, that Boss Sun seemed to have a high status, even the then Lord Hou, right He gave a bit of a thin face."

At that time, Mr. Hou in Subei could be said to be a person who supported the sky with one hand, and even he wanted to sell face, one can imagine that it would not be easy.

"You think about it, is there any more detailed information about this person."

"Boss Sun doesn't show up at every banquet, but whenever he does, it's relatively mysterious. Lord Hou is far more attentive to those banquets than others, and the people are only dancing, except for occasional orders. If you can stay in the hall for a while, you won't be able to contact these people at other times."

After all, with her identity here, it was a surprise that Yao Ji could give so much information.

"Which other people have you met, can you draw them through descriptions?" Fang Jiayi suddenly said.

"Can."

Fang Jun called in someone who was good at this way, and the two worked together to draw a dozen or so portraits.

Fang Jun immediately ordered someone to check the details of these people.

It was much easier to investigate these people. It didn't take long for information about them to be sent to Fang Jun's desk. Fang Jun listed a series of commonalities through the investigation results, and the hidden truth gradually surfaced. A thread that ties everything together.

With Shen Yu's instructions, Boss Ye revealed the movable type printing technique under the pretext of cooperation.

The cooperation was first proposed by Boss Ye. He was looking for bookstores that were not involved in the aristocratic family. After all, Shen Yu had instructed him, and the aristocratic family could not know about this for the time being.

Boss Ye is a very rational person, and his position is very clear. He knows that if there is no Shen Yu, there will be no him now, so the requirements for Shen Yu are not very rational in the eyes of many people. The new typography was shared unconditionally, and no objection was raised.

"I invited all the bosses to come here today because I want to discuss a business with you. I would like to publish a book on basic literacy with the bosses and sell it at the lowest price."

As soon as Boss Ye's voice fell, someone objected: "Boss Ye is trying to pull us together to do charity? It's not that we refuse to agree, but Boss Ye is also a bookstore, knowing that our business is far less profitable than it seems, and books are priced at a price. High, purely because the cost is there.”

"I know this is a bit difficult for a strong man, but as a sign of sincerity, I would like to share with you the new printing method obtained by the bookstore."

After listening to Boss Ye's introduction, the people present were dumbfounded.

"This method is really wonderful."

For a long time, someone spoke. They have been operating bookstores for many years, and they are well aware of the drawbacks of the existing printing technology. Now all kinds of books are expensive. A large part of the reason comes from here, and the cost is too high.

It is not an easy task whether it is printed or copied by hand.

But if there is the new printing technique that Boss Ye said, many problems can be solved easily.

"Why is Boss Ye willing to tell us about such a method?" After the shock, some people were puzzled. The peers are also competitors. If this technology is always in the hands of Boss Ye, in a few years, Boss Ye's bookstore will be stable. Press them on the head.

"You always have to show some sincerity in cooperation, don't you?" Boss Ye smiled lightly, "Ye believes that this sincerity is very good, and Ye knows that the cooperation proposed is too ideal, but with the new printing technology, this matter It's not so incredible to realize, what do you think?"

"Boss Ye is really..." One person stood up and cupped his hands, "In that case, I am willing to cooperate with Boss Ye."

Several other people looked at each other and no longer objected.

It's not about anything else, but the new printing method described by Boss Ye is enough to make people feel excited.

After the matter was done, Boss Ye passed the news to the palace.

"Don't your Majesty want to implement it in the private sector first, so I asked Boss Ye to invite the bosses of the major bookstores in the capital in the name of cooperation to teach them movable type printing. In order to get the best benefit in the early stage, they will definitely not take the initiative to adopt this method. tell others."

On the contrary, how long can you keep secrets for as long as you want.

"Ayu has done me a big favor again," Shang Jun sternly hugged Shen Yu, "The Prime Minister told me two days ago that if Ayu entered the court, his achievements would not lose to him, and I also felt that."

"Oh?" Shen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Does Your Majesty think I should enter the court?"

"If you can't enter the court, Ayu can only belong to me."

The author has something to say: The Prime Minister stifled his wrist for the countless times: Why can't he pull Shen Yu together to be a happy migrant worker? [Working Cat Sigh.JPG]
