shock!After dressing up as a vicious stepmother, I spoiled the villain

When she saw someone, Yu Wei stopped leaning on the railing and looked far away. She returned to sit on the stool, drinking the tea and snacks brought by the inn.

There was a knock on the door first, and Aunt Liu stepped forward to open the door. When Wen Dongqing saw that she was a woman, he was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw the woman dressed as a slave, he was also a little puzzled.

"Is this Mr. Meishan inside?"

Aunt Liu first called Mr. Wen, then nodded and let people in: "Mr. Meishan is the one inside."

Wen Dongqing led the servant in. Yu Wei also stood up at this time, took two steps forward to greet him, and bowed: "Master Wen."

Wen Dongqing nodded and looked at the young Mr. Meishan. It was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

First of all, his age, then his magnanimity, and finally, he was able to take a woman with him on a trip, like an unweaned baby.

So, is that really Mr. Meishan?

"Mr. Meishan?"

Yu Wei also nodded.

Wen Dongqing raised his eyebrows: "The book "Journey to the West" is astonishing with its fantastic ideas and grandeur of the world, but I never expected that Mr. Meishan, who could write this book, would be so young."

Yu Wei pulled her lips and smiled. Is Mr. Wen praising her, or does he not believe that she wrote this book?

Of course, this book was not written by her. How could she write such a talented book with her meager knowledge.

But Yu Wei couldn't say it, so she handed over her hand again: "Master Wen is so complimentary."

Wen Dongqing looked at Yu Wei's expression and saw no clues. He chuckled and sat down on the stool.

Yu Wei leaned forward to serve him tea, and heard Wen Dongqing ask her: "Does the equipment that can mass-produce books mentioned in your letter actually exist?"

Yu Wei put the teapot behind and sat opposite Wen Dongqing. Different from Wen Dongqing's relaxed but elegant sitting posture, her back was straight and she sat as upright as a bell.

This kind of sitting posture is not a pretense, but a subconscious action. This is something that Wen Dongqing, who is observant, secretly appreciates.

There are very few young people nowadays who can have such profound etiquette.

"My lord, I call it printing. Some time ago, I found a skilled craftsman to make this set of tools. In just ten days, ten thousand copies of "Journey to the West" were printed, which is comparable to thousands of people copying it by hand in more than a month."

As soon as Yu Wei's words came out, Wen Dongqing was surprised and happy. This printing technique made him, a civil servant, deeply moved.

Ten days is comparable to the time it takes a thousand people to copy by hand in more than a month. Not only does it save labor, it also greatly shortens the time.

If this printing technology is applied to books, the Four Books and Five Classics, or historical records and poems, it will be of great benefit to the literary world in Daliang in the long run. Many scholars will emerge in Daliang, with talents from all over the world, and talented people everywhere, making people yearn for them.

"Is this true!?"

Yu Wei nodded: "Of course I take it seriously. Since you invited me today, I would like to take you to see the printing technique. I wonder if you have time?"

Wen Dongqing was very moved: "Of course!"

Yu slightly raised his lips and smiled, and then asked him: "I wonder how you are going to prepare yourself now that you have acquired this printing technology?"

Wen Dongqing immediately raised his hand towards the imperial city with a look of awe on his face: "Of course it is dedicated to Your Majesty, and it will shine upon me."

Yu Wei asked again: "Having obtained such a treasure, I wonder how you plan to place it next to me?"

Wen Dongqing raised his eyelids and thought deeply, then asked her after a moment: "What is Mr. Meishan's advice?"

If you can offer this treasure, you will definitely not want nothing. Although Wen Dongqing is recognized as a clean figure among civil servants, he also understands the ways of the world.

This Mr. Meishan could hold such a treasure in front of him, and he must have inquired about his personality.

He didn't despise being that treacherous villain, but he didn't know what Mr. Meishan was planning?

Yu Wei smiled heartily: "We have all heard that Lord Wen is a noble civil servant with a high moral character and integrity. I have also respected him for a long time. Now that I have met him, I realize that the rumors are true and he is a bit modest."

When Wen Dongqing heard this obvious compliment, coupled with Mr. Meishan's hearty smile, it made people feel a little sincere. Although his face did not change much, his heart felt comfortable.

"The rumors outside are untrue. Although I have never been corrupt, I am still a common man when it comes to foreign affairs. Mr. Meishan has said that."

Yu Wei listened, but she didn't show any embarrassment at all. She smiled: "Most of the people in this world are ordinary people. After all, there are only a few people who eat delicious food and drink dew like the immortal master. Those who serve as officials have an upright heart and are not corrupt. , already can do what most cannot, an official like Mr. Wen is already excellent."

Wen Dongqing looked at her with a smile and stopped answering. Yu Wei understood that this was the end of this flattery.

If you continue to boast, Mr. Wen will think it's fake, and the previous shoot will be in vain.

"Master Wen has a large amount. Since I asked you what I think, I don't want to hide it from you. I offer this thing for what I really want."

Wen Dongqing motioned to Yu Wei to continue.

Yu Weiqian took a sip of tea and said calmly: "First, this printing technology came from here, and Mr. Meishan's name needs to be mentioned."

Wen Dongqing nodded: "This is natural."

If he follows Wen Dongqing's path, Mr. Meishan will not be lost in public.

The smile on Yu Wei's face deepened a little, and he continued to make demands: "Secondly, if the imperial court wants to monopolize this technology, Mr. Meishan can be the only one outside the city."

Yu Wei had considered the monopoly of technology. From the beginning, the imperial court would never allow the printing technology to flood the market, so it would definitely have a monopoly on printing.

So after the monopoly, can Yu Wei's workshop still continue?

Her rivals would turn from bookstores in the city to the imperial court.

If the imperial court wanted to set up a small workshop, it would be easy to find.

This question made Wen Dongqing silent.

After a while, he said: "I can't guarantee that the printing technology will come out. Your Majesty and the Third Division need to decide whether to follow it. If the court wants to monopolize it, it will definitely not let this technology flow into the market, otherwise chaos will occur frequently."

Yu Wei looked at Mr. Wen intently: "If you really want to monopolize the entire market, this is not what I want here."

Wen Dongqing was not surprised that Yu Weihui said this, but: "I think Mr. Meishan may have made a mistake. First of all, the people are the people of Daliang, and Daliang is the main beam of the court. The court gives the people a stable life. Whatever the court wants, the people Maybe stop it?”

"Secondly, once this thing comes out, Mr. Meishan is afraid that he won't be able to keep it. I think this is why Mr. Meishan came to me. Mr. Meishan doesn't want his hard work to go to waste, so he wants to rely on the court, but if he does, then everything should be up to the court. s arrangement."

If the court doesn't let you do it, you won't be able to do it.

Yu Wei also thought about this. In this society where imperial power is paramount, a little guy like Yu Wei has no right to speak.

Xu Shi slapped him, and Wen Dongqing gave him another sweet date: "Of course, your majesty is kind and always distinguishes rewards and punishments. Mr. Meishan presented this technique, your majesty is happy, and naturally you will not treat him badly. He wants both fame and profit. You must know that you cannot have your cake and eat it too, profits can be given, but it depends on what kind of profits they are.”
