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 from generation to generation, and a rich collection of books.

Although Dahuan held the imperial examination, the competitiveness of students from poor families was far inferior to that of those from aristocratic families. Part of the reason also came from 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 an ordinary family to cultivate a scholar.

The impact of the new typography will be enormous.

Instead of engraving all the content on one board as in the past, the whole board can only be invalidated if a word is wrong. The new printing method engraves each character separately. When printing different content, you only need to rearrange the characters instead of like As it turned out, only one piece can be re-engraved.

Shang Junlin can predict the huge impact of this printing technique. With this method, books can be printed on a large scale. There may not be any changes in a short period of time. After a long time, you will find that the aristocratic family and The distance between poor families is shrinking.

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

For a moment, Shang Junlin forgot that Boss Ye felt something was wrong, and all his mind fell 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 process, so he took the two inside and let the experienced hands demonstrate it.

"This method is much more convenient than the previous method," Boss Ye said with emotion. "The cost of printing a book in the past is simply incomparable to the current one."

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

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

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

Boss Ye wisely didn't disturb the two of them being alone, but went to the bookstore to work. With the new printing, the bookstore sells more books. Because of the special stationery, the bookstore has already had a good reputation among scholars. The word-of-mouth reputation, this time there are a wide variety of new books, and more guests come to patronize.

There was Shen Yu's favorite snack on the table, Shen Yu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, narrowing his eyes slightly.

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

The aristocratic family is not in collusion with the aristocratic family, but if their interests are endangered, they can unite as quickly as possible and unanimously speak out. The aristocratic family has been entrenched in this land for a long time. If you really anger them, it will bring a lot of unnecessary troubles. something.

Moreover, if they knew that all of this was done by Shen Yu, they would probably point all their fingers at him. They might not dare to do too much because of fear of him, but they would never stop hitting him hard because of him.

In any case, Shang Junlin will not expose depression to danger.

"Your Majesty is worried about the aristocratic family's retaliation? We really can't worry about this matter. After all, we have the cards in our hands, so we will take it slowly." Shen Yu understood Shang Junlin's concerns.

"I'm afraid I have to wrong Ayu for the time being. I can't give you the credit for the new printing technique for the time being."

Shang Junlin paused for a while, and looked at the gloomy expression with a complicated expression: "The aristocratic family has too much power in the capital at present, and I can't take the risk of exposing you to their noses."

He was very dissatisfied in his heart, if he could solve the hidden dangers of the family earlier, why should he feel wronged and depressed now?His Ayu, who has made such a great contribution, can only be left behind because of these people.

"Even if His Majesty doesn't say anything, I will ask His Majesty to take me out. I got this idea from other sources, and I am not the one who actually made the results. If Your Majesty wants to reward, reward these people."

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

After returning to the palace, Shang Junlin immediately called the prime minister into 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, give the things to the prime minister."

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

Being 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 immediately, but digested the contents of the dossier for a while, and then said: "This method is really good for Dahuan."

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

The prime minister immediately realized that His Majesty did this to prevent your nobleman from becoming a target of the family.

The prime minister could see how sincere Shang Junlin was towards Shen Yu, and because of this, he felt more and more emotional. With Shen Yu's ability, if he was in the court, he must be an extremely human minister, but it is a pity that he has an unreliable father.

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

Subei.

With the unremitting efforts of Fang Jun and others, they finally discovered some clues, and the "friendship" between He Chengyu and Boss Sun became 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 lead 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.

"So it's not just Beimo people." 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 quite a lot of secrets hidden in him."

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

"Boss Sun's power can have the scale it is today, and it is inseparable from the power behind him. It is like a tie that connects all parties."

Knowing that Boss Sun had a certain relationship with Beimo people, Fang Jun sent someone to check his identity carefully. He was an ordinary businessman from Subei. Before the Sun family was handed over to him, it was far smaller than it is today. I can't find any useful news about people's family history, as if they suddenly rose overnight.

Having found a breakthrough, Fang Jun ordered people to continue to search along the line of Boss Sun, maybe they could find more useful information.

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

During this period of time, Yao Ji followed the government to investigate the case, and 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 shocked her greatly, and also imperceptibly affected her personality change.

"Boss Sun?" Yao Ji thought about it carefully, and it really made her pull out such a person from her memory, "I saw it, it was at a banquet, and that Boss Sun seemed to have a high status. He gave some noodles."

At that time, Master Hou could be said to be a supportive existence in Subei, and even he was a person who wanted to sell face, so it would be difficult to imagine.

"Think about it, is there any more detailed information about this person?"

"Boss Sun doesn't appear at every banquet, but when he does appear, it is relatively mysterious. Mr. Hou pays more attention to those banquets than others. Minnv only performs dances, except for occasional orders. If you can stay in the main hall for a while, you will not 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.

"Who else have you met? Can someone draw them through description?" Fang Jiayi suddenly asked.

"can."

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

Fang Jun immediately ordered people to investigate the details of these people.

It was much easier to find these people. It didn't take long for information about them to be sent to Fang Jun's desk. Through the investigation results, Fang Jun listed a series of common points, and the hidden truth gradually surfaced. A thread that connects it all.

Obtaining the instructions from Su Yu, Boss Ye used the pretext of cooperation to reveal the movable type printing technique.

The cooperation was first proposed by Boss Ye. He was looking for bookstores that had no aristocratic family behind them. After all, Shen Yu had told him not to let the aristocratic family know about this matter for the time being.

Boss Ye is a very rational person, and his position is very clear. He knows that if there is no depression, he will not be where he is now, so the request for depression, even if it seems unreasonable to many people The new printing technology was shared unconditionally, and no objections were raised.

"I invite you bosses here today to discuss a business with you. I want to publish a basic literacy book with you bosses and sell them at the lowest price."

After Boss Ye’s voice fell, someone objected: “Boss Ye is trying to pull us to do charity together? It’s not that we refuse to agree, but Boss Ye is also a bookstore. He knows that our business is far less profitable than it seems. High, it’s all because of the cost.”

"I know this is a bit difficult, but to show my sincerity, I would like to share with you the new printing method of the bookstore."

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

"This method is really wonderful."

After a long time, someone said that they have been running bookstores for many years, and they are well aware of the disadvantages of the existing printing technology. Now all kinds of books are expensive, a large part of the reason comes from this, and the cost is too high.

Whether printed or handwritten, it is not an easy task.

But with the new printing technology that Boss Ye mentioned, many problems can be easily solved.

"Why is Boss Ye willing to tell us such a method?" After the shock, some people wondered, colleagues are also competitors, if this technology is always in the hands of Boss Ye, within a few years, Boss Ye's bookstore will be stable. Push them over the head.

"Cooperation always requires a little sincerity first, doesn't it?" Boss Ye smiled lightly, "Ye thinks that sincerity is enough, and Ye knows that the cooperation proposed is too idealistic, but with the new printing technology, this matter It’s not that incredible to realize it, what do you think?”

"Boss Ye is really..." One of them stood up and cupped his hands, "If that's the case, I'm willing to cooperate with Boss Ye."

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

Nothing else, but the new printing method described by Boss Ye is enough to make people feel excited.

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

"Your Majesty wants to implement it among the people first, so I asked Boss Ye to invite the owners of major bookstores in the capital in the name of cooperation, and teach them movable type printing. In order to get the most benefits in the early stage, they will definitely not take the initiative to use this method. Tell someone."

On the contrary, how long can the secret be kept.

"Ayu has done me a big favor again," Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu violently, "The prime minister told me two days ago that if Ayu enters the imperial court, his achievements will not be inferior to him, and I also think so."

"Oh?" The gloomy eyes narrowed slightly, "Does Your Majesty also think that I should enter the court?"

"Whether you can enter the court or not, Ayu can only belong to me."
