When the emperor heard the words "movable type printing," he couldn't sit still. He knew it was related to books and was eager to know what it was. He had a premonition that the development of "movable type printing" would have a great impact on the country and bring about great changes. Later, just as he had thought, the emergence of movable type printing contributed a large number of knowledgeable people to Tianxuan Kingdom, which rapidly promoted the development of Tianxuan Kingdom and led it towards a more prosperous path.
The civil officials, especially Ji Musheng, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, could no longer control themselves. He had an impulse to rush up and shake Qin Qianluo's shoulders, but was stopped by the others who still had some sense. "Young Master Qin has already said that she will give the 'movable type printing technology' to Prime Minister Qin after the court session. Please be patient. We can't let Young Master Qin know that we can hear her thoughts, otherwise we will have nothing left."
As for the two prime ministers, their fingers were trembling with excitement. Although they were very busy, especially with grain cultivation and animal husbandry, no good official would complain about having too much of these beneficial things for the country and its people, nor would any corrupt official. After all, the richer the country, the more they could embezzle.
The morning court session ended quickly. Ji Musheng wished he could leave with Qin Qianluo. What did he care about watching the top scholar's parade? Teaching him "movable type printing" was the most important thing. Qin Xiang, quick as a flash, stopped Ji Musheng and forcefully pushed him to Su Xiang's side. Su Xiang also restrained Ji Musheng and watched the Qin father and daughter leave before comforting him, "Don't worry, Lord Ji. Since young Lord Qin said he would give it, he won't go back on his word."
Ji Musheng calmed down considerably, nodded, and stayed behind to wait with Prime Minister Su. The Emperor looked at Ji Musheng and clicked his tongue in amazement. This old scholar was usually very particular about etiquette, but now he had been so disregarded about his image by a piece of news from the Qin family girl. The Qin family girl was really something.
Qin Qianluo was unaware of all this. At this moment, she was happily sitting in a private room of the teahouse, having found the best spot to watch the top scholar's procession. As the scholar rode in on a tall horse, clad in a red scholar's robe, Qin Qianluo's eyes immediately lit up, instantly transforming her into a little fangirl. Taking advantage of being alone in the private room, she completely disregarded her image, her drool practically dripping, and excitedly exclaimed, "Look! Ji Linran, wearing the scholar's robe and sitting on the horse, is so beautiful and dashing! Indeed, when women are handsome, men have nothing on them! Just look at Scholar Ji's figure, and you'll know what it means to be intoxicated before even drinking a thousand cups, no wonder the new poems are as strong as wine. Snow falls on the plum garden, its fragrance enters dreams, today the scholar is adorned in red flowers."
001 was also somewhat stunned. It has to be said, the scholar's robes and the tall horse he rode completely outshone the second and third place scholars. "Luo Bao is right, he's truly both beautiful and dashing."
Ji Linran had barely approached when she heard Qin Qianluo's inner thoughts. Her gesture of bowing in thanks to those on either side paused, her cheeks flushing red. Although she was puzzled by the meaning of "Sa," she knew it was a compliment to her calligraphy. She felt truly embarrassed. Her eyes secretly searched for Qin Qianluo's location, finally spotting her waving from the second-floor window of the teahouse. She smiled and waved back before continuing on her way. Meanwhile, the second and third place winners thought: "Great, ignored again! So annoying!"
The crowd watching from the sidelines, though they didn't know what "飒" meant, did find that this top scholar indeed had more charisma than many men. Although the men were somewhat unconvinced, their dissatisfaction dissipated upon seeing the top scholar on horseback. He truly had an aura. The crowd was unaware that they were hearing Qin Qianluo's inner thoughts; they simply assumed that a young lady and her maid were speaking a little loudly, even though the maid's address was rather strange.
The young ladies and gentlemen who had heard Lady Qin's words at the palace banquet were also frantically searching for her figure, wanting to go over and have a chat. Everyone knew how capable Lady Qin was; the things she brought out were all of high quality. If they were to befriend her, they might be able to gain some benefits. Only one person narrowed his eyes and looked down on Qin Qianluo with disdain. She was just a child, relying on her father, the Prime Minister, to obtain her official position. He didn't know what she had to be proud of. If he had a Prime Minister as his father, he would definitely be able to do better than her.
After watching the parade, Qin Qianluo went to check out the shops she had in hand, not giving the others a chance to find her. She finally found a suitable shop, very close to the Imperial College, and just a short walk away was the market. The shop was two stories high with a courtyard, and the building was very large. Qin Qianluo had 001 print out the floor plan of the entire shop, and then she prepared to go home to design the overall decoration. As for the location of the factory, she planned to go out of the city to the suburbs tomorrow to take a look, as there wasn't enough time today.
When Qin Qianluo returned home, she first organized the movable type printing equipment and threw it into her father's study as before. Then she went back to her own courtyard, dismissed the maids, and entered her spatial training area.
After receiving the certificate, Prime Minister Qin rushed to the palace. In the Imperial Study, Scholar Ji was already anxiously waiting, wishing he could go to the Prime Minister's residence himself. The Emperor and Prime Minister Su looked at Ji Musheng with amusement. Although they were also anxious, they trusted Qin Qianluo. If Qin Qianluo said she would give it, she would definitely give it. Prime Minister Su calmly took a sip of tea and looked up to see Prime Minister Qin hurriedly walking in. Just as he was about to bow, the Emperor stopped him and asked anxiously, "Did that girl give you the movable type printing technology?"
Seeing that the Emperor wouldn't let him bow, Prime Minister Qin didn't hesitate and readily nodded, handing the Emperor a stack of papers. The Emperor took them and examined them carefully. Ji Musheng anxiously craned her neck, wishing she could go to the imperial desk and read them together. However, she remained somewhat rational and didn't actually go up. The Emperor's eyes widened as he read. This was a method for mass-producing books! Why was reading so difficult? Wasn't it because there weren't enough books? Most books were handwritten, which was inefficient, expensive, and the quality couldn't be guaranteed, making it impossible for many people to afford to read. Now, with movable type printing, there was no need to worry about a shortage of books! That girl was truly a lucky star!
