After handing the two sets of books to his wife, Jiang Hai said,
"Okay, let's go back."
"Didn't you come to see the printing factory? Why are you going back before you even get in?"
Yuchi Ziling's words didn't sound like a question, but more like contempt. Everyone knew that this guy wanted to go home and study a new book after achieving his goal.
"Hey, I was just kidding."
Jiang Hai chuckled to ease the awkwardness and took his wife into the printing factory.
Yuchi Ziling was curious and expectant. As soon as she entered the factory, she was attracted by the spacious factory buildings and busy production scenes.
When someone saw Jiang Hai coming, they hurried to inform Huang Haitang.
Soon, Huang Haitang came out to greet them and took them on a tour.
We first came to the printing workshop, which is the core part of the factory. Printing machines were neatly arranged and workers were busy operating the machines.
Several sturdy-looking workers were pedaling the machines like they were riding bicycles. It was hilarious; their leg muscles were incredible. If they practiced shooting, they could probably shoot through the net.
However, many small machines in the new city are currently powered by humans.
Only in the western industrial zone were there large water-powered machines, but there were no conditions for the widespread use of diesel generators. Jiang Hai disdained to make steam engines, as they were too bulky, so he skipped it directly.
There are also many workers in other positions who are very busy, some are adjusting the position of the printed products, and some are checking the quality.
In short, it is a busy and orderly production scene.
Then we visited the binding workshop, where workers were cutting, folding, and binding the printed paper.
There are more female workers here, and they are all skilled and agile, doing the work quickly and well.
Then we came to the plate-making workshop and the design department. The two were connected and in the same large workshop.
Yuchi Ziling was amazed when she saw it. Only then did she realize that those paintings were made by layering different colors on top of each other.
After a tour, with Huang Haitang explaining, Yuchi Ziling also understood a lot about printing and said with admiration,
"Uncle Huang, you're amazing! You know so many complicated things, and you manage the workshop so well."
"No, no, Young Madam, you are too kind. This was all taught by the Young Master. If we talk about being amazing, the Young Master is still the best."
Huang Haitang stated the truth very politely. It was indeed Jiang Hai who taught him. Most of the things were made in the research institute and moved here to be put into the production line.
Next to the printing factory is the publishing house, which is Lao Huang’s Dongcheng Hot Culture Media. Everyone who works here is a silver material.
There are many studios in the publishing house. As you walk along, you can see signs hanging outside different rooms.
There are [planning], [reviewing], [typesetting], [publicity], etc., which are quite formal.
Jiang Hai thought it was normal, but Yuchi Ziling was quite surprised. She didn't expect there were so many tricks.
Huang Haitang led them to his office and made tea to entertain them.
Jiang Hai saw a manuscript on Huang Haitang's desk and picked it up and flipped through it with interest.
[Happy life with my aunt], author [Sun Xiao].
Hey, why does it feel a little familiar? Jiang Hai flipped through a few pages and thought.
I thought, isn’t this Sun Daquan’s son? He is indeed a filial son and even writes books.
"Old Huang, this is a submission. Will you review it personally?" Jiang Hai asked casually.
"Yes, the reviewers said it's well written. Let me take a look and see if I should print more." Huang Haitang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Hai, then he said,
"However, this book is well written, but the scale is a bit too large. I haven't decided whether to publish it yet."
Jiang Hai couldn't help but be amazed. There was actually a book that Huang Haitang thought was too explicit. He had never seen such a thing in his life.
Yuchi Ziling, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed when she saw the title of the book. After hearing Huang Haitang say that it was too explicit, she didn't dare to take it to read, although she was a little curious.
Jiang Hai chuckled and closed the manuscript. He was not interested in these things. Not to mention books, he had read many of those that were calculated in GB.
"What has Old Huang been busy with lately? You have to help Chunyan with her publicity."
"Of course, Master, didn't you see it just now? There's a production line in the workshop that's specifically printing brochures and posters for them.
Chunyan is really a capable woman. As soon as the promotion for the third show was completed, she started preparing for the fourth show.
This group's performances have been incredibly popular lately, and everyone in the city knows about them."
Huang Haitang couldn't help but sigh that he had been dealing with this place a lot since Yanchunlou's transformation.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Hai was about to leave. Before leaving, he asked Huang Haitangdao,
"Old Huang, do you have any books on how to fall in love? Find a couple for that Wu Gong kid to read."
"Yes, of course there isn't one. Master, wait a minute, I'll go find it."
Huang Haitang went to look for books after that. Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling were waiting in his office.
"Jiang Lang, are all the books here of that kind?" Yuchi Ziling asked curiously.
"Which one?" Jiang Hai asked knowingly.
"Yes, the kind that Lao Jia sells."
"Haha, not all of them. There are many kinds. What do you want to see?"
"I don't know what I want to read either. What book did you find for martial arts?"
"You'll know in a moment."
The two chatted for a while, and then Huang Haitang brought over a few books. Jiang Hai took them and thanked him.
He took his wife and said goodbye to Huang Haitang and left.
Yuchi Ziling took a curious look at the book in Jiang Hai's hand. The title of the book at the top was [365 Strategies of Love].
Wow, what a thick book.
The young lady was a little eager to make a move, and was discovered by Jiang Hai, who handed it over.
"Do you want to read this? Here you go. You look so greedy, just like Cai'er seeing food."
"Hey, I'm curious," Yuchi Ziling took the book. "Back in the capital, books were very valuable. There weren't as many as here."
"If you like reading, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I am planning to ask Old Huang to build a new city library.
Put all the serious books in there, so people can borrow them or sell them.
Books like Lao Jia's are not allowed in, lest they lead children astray."
"Well, this is a good idea. I'm looking forward to it." Yuchi Ziling nodded.
The two men mounted their horses and left the printing house.
The sun was high in the sky and it was already noon, so Jiang Hai decided to go home and not continue shopping.
…
It was late autumn, but it was not cold in Xincheng, just a little cooler.
In the capital city far to the north, the temperature has dropped a lot.
This day. The capital.
Guo Qianqian's father, Guo Hao, received a summons from the palace and came out of the Right Guard Army camp and rushed to the palace.
Riding on the horse, Guo Hao was lost in thought. Why did the old emperor summon him to the palace at this time?
