Seeing the Emperor's increasingly delighted expression and his growing fascination, Ji Musheng disregarded the proper order between ruler and subject, taking a few steps forward and peering into the paper in the Emperor's hand. After reading its contents, his eyes shone even brighter. It not only described a basic movable type printing technique but also outlined subsequent improvements and enhancements—a perfectly laid-out path, leaving no room for error. Seeing the two, Prime Minister Su couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this movable type printing technique?"
The Emperor snapped out of his reverie upon hearing the sound. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ji Musheng craning his neck beside him. He wasn't angry; he simply nudged Ji Musheng's head helplessly and said with a smile, "The girl from the Qin family is truly a lucky star. This movable type printing technique can be called a divine art. Ji Musheng, I order you to create the first set of movable type molds for the Tianxuan Kingdom within three days. Let me see the books printed with this movable type as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can consult the two prime ministers."
Upon hearing this, the three men bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we accept your command and will certainly live up to your expectations."
Su Jinyun took the paper and flipped through it. The more she looked, the more alarmed she became. She hurriedly led Ji Musheng out of the Imperial Study, and Prime Minister Qin followed quickly. The movable type printing was in full swing.
After completing her training, Qin Qianluo did not leave the space. Instead, she stayed in the study with the shop floor plan printed out by 001, carefully designing the decoration style and thinking about how to create the first shop she would ever manage.
Time ticked by, and Qin Qianluo finished the last stroke, looking at the interior design drawing in her hand with satisfaction. 001 also glanced at it and exclaimed, "Luo Bao is so amazing! This design not only allows people to read books in the store but also prevents them from being disturbed by people walking around taking books, and it makes it easy for them to know where to pay."
Qin Qianlu smiled and proudly raised her head. "Of course."
Putting down the design sketches and spending time organizing modern accounting methods, she thought of the cotton needed for the cushions and asked, "001, do you have any cotton now?"
001 glanced at the information: "Luo Bao, not yet, but there's some in the space, enough to make a cushion, plus some sponge."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you have cotton seeds?"
"Some treasures have fallen, but if we plant them now, there won't be enough time to harvest them. Even if we plant them in the space, it will still take about a month."
Qin Qianlu shook her head. "No, I was thinking that the people and soldiers on the border would have cotton-padded clothes to wear in winter, otherwise people would freeze to death. I just realized that. I forgot about cotton and wool. Please organize these two materials, print out the processing methods, planting methods, and usage instructions for me, and I'll give them to the Ministry of Revenue so they can plant them as soon as possible. That way, the people and soldiers on the border will have an easier time in winter."
001 understood Qin Qianluo's thoughts. She was always someone who put the people and soldiers first, and replied, "Okay, Luobao, it'll be printed out in a bit."
Upon hearing 001's reply, Qin Qianluo smiled and nodded. She took the items and left the space. Seeing that it was already late, she didn't rush to give them to the scholars. Instead, she placed them on the table on the soft couch, planning to give them to the scholars at the villa the next day, and then go to the suburbs to find a suitable house.
When Prime Minister Qin hadn't returned for dinner, a servant relayed that a mysterious person had given him a very powerful movable type printing technique. Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Su, and Lord Ji were currently researching it and had just made some progress. He would return to the manor later and told everyone to have dinner first and not wait for him. Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu smiled. It seemed that the day when everyone could afford to read was not far off. After having dinner with her mother, brother, and sister, she returned to her own courtyard and watched some TV dramas.
On Qin Xiang's side, several characters had already been carved. After a simple arrangement, they were printed on the newly researched paper. The characters were clear and the size was uniform. Everyone looked at each other excitedly, adjusted the position of the movable type template, and covered it with paper again. Looking at the characters on the paper, they were very excited. It was done! So everyone sped up the carving speed, all wanting to make the first printed book in Tianxuan Kingdom as soon as possible.
After watching a TV series for a while, Qin Qianlu stretched her body. 001 had already printed out the information on wool and cotton. Qin Qianlu took out cotton seeds from her space, wrapped them up with the information, and placed them on the table on the soft couch, thinking that she would take them with her to court tomorrow and hand them over to the Vice Minister of Revenue after court.
At this moment, the Vice Minister of Revenue was unaware that a huge surprise awaited him. Because of this surprise, he successfully took the position of Minister of Personnel, reaping considerable rewards. At this time, He Jinzhou, the Vice Minister of Revenue, was still thinking about Gu Qingshi, the Minister of Revenue, who was far away in Jiangnan, hoping that his superior would return as soon as possible. He was a little too busy to handle everything.
