Chapter 72 Movable Type Printing



He had not run far when he was caught by the Qin elite soldiers.

Zhang Liang's face was ashen. Looking at so many Qin warriors, he knew very well that the Xiang family was really finished this time.

After entering Kuaiji County, Fusu began to make arrangements and ordered people to search for the traces of the remnants of the Chu State, trying to prevent the people here from being harmed.

On the other side, Zhao Qingrui took out the book and started copying it quickly in the bookstore.

During this period, the bookstore has accumulated a lot of people, although they are all relatively poor readers.

These people copied books quite quickly, and with Zhao Qingrui's ability to copy, they were even more adept at copying.

However, Zhao Qingrui was still somewhat dissatisfied with the speed; it was too slow.

Gongshu Xue and Su Ling, who were called into the palace, looked at each other, and then looked away from each other with displeasure.

When Zhao Qingrui came over, he saw the two sitting far apart.

"Greetings, little princess." Seeing Zhao Qingrui coming, the two of them hurriedly saluted.

"Master Su, Sister Gongshu, there's no need to be so polite, just sit down. I asked you to come here today because I have something important to ask for your help." Zhao Qingrui asked Chunxi to pour some tea for the two of them and said gently.

"What does the little princess want us to do?" Gongshu Xue looked at Zhao Qingrui curiously.

If we call both families here, the things they do must be something that only craftsmen can do.

Su Ling also looked at Zhao Qingrui with a serious expression. He had accumulated a lot of questions during this period of time. Now that Zhao Qingrui had returned to the palace, he was too embarrassed to ask her.

"I need both of your families to work together to help me get some fonts as quickly as possible. Here are the specifications." Zhao Qingrui directly took out the things he had prepared long ago.

Gongshu Xue took it, looked at it carefully, and found that it was not difficult to make, except that engraving the words was more troublesome.

Knowing what was going on, Gongshu Xue gave the paper to Su Ling.

"This font model is not difficult. I wonder what its use is?" Gongshu Xue asked curiously.

"It's okay to tell you. It's used for printing. The characters on the mold are relatively small, but very neat. A lot of characters can be printed on one page. Copying by hand is too slow." Zhao Qingrui did not hide it.

After the two of them learned about the use and production of movable type printing, Zhao Qingrui received another large sum of points, a full two thousand, which made him very happy.

These points are almost catching up with the points from papermaking. That’s great. I don’t have to worry about not being able to pay back the points next month.

She had figured out that the system would be generous in rewarding points for creating these groundbreaking things.

"Your Highness the Princess is so virtuous." Gongshu Xue stood in awe. Once this thing was made, it would surely benefit people all over the world.

"Sister Gongshu, you're joking. I need you to make a few more sets of these fonts as soon as possible." Zhao Qingrui waved her hands. How could she have the ability to invent these things? She was just copying others.

"This is not difficult. I will mobilize all the people in Gongshu family to do it when I go back." Gongshu Xue quickly assured.

"The people of Mohism will also help to make what Your Highness needs as soon as possible." Su Ling also nodded seriously.

After receiving the assurance from the two, Zhao Qingrui felt happier than ever before.

Although she doesn't have to work hard to win over the two of them now, she is still prepared to build a good relationship with them. There are still many things she wants to do.

And everything she wants to create depends on the talents of these two companies.

We need to transfer some talents from Jingshui Pavilion, and find a way to instill more modern knowledge into the Mohists and Gongshujia.

Most of what Zhao Wen taught were just the basics. Although he had been upgraded, he was still not a teacher in all the majors.

I still need to exchange a few more bionic teachers from the system mall, but they are really expensive.

After seeing the two off, Zhao Qingrui began to think about earning points.

After arriving in Xianyang, she actually earned points at a pretty fast pace. With the spread of papermaking and the learning of the contents of Tiangong Kaiwu by the Mohists and Gongshuists, many of them benefited the Qin Dynasty, and she could earn at least two hundred points every day.

However, after exchanging the blueprints for Zheng He's treasure ship, her points suddenly ran out, and she also had to pay back a large amount of foreign debt every month, which made her feel more urgent.

Make trouble, make trouble on a big scale, and pay back all the points as soon as possible. The feeling of being in debt is not pleasant at all.

Of course, when you are causing trouble, it would be nice to vent your anger by taking care of those Confucian scholars.

After Gongshu Xue and Su Ling returned, the Mohist and Gongshuist schools quickly got busy. These character molds were not difficult to make, as both schools had quite a few disciples.

No one noticed the actions of the two families, and even if they did, no one paid much attention.

During this period, the bookstores opened by those Confucian scholars were right across from Zhao Qingrui's Huiwen Bookstore. The premises were even larger than Zhao Qingrui's and the decorations were gorgeous.

These people try to improve their own status by constantly belittling Huiwen Bookstore.

With their aggressive marketing, they became the talk of the town for a while.

It’s a pity that the impact on Huiwen Book Store is still not great. There are still many people going to Huiwen Book Store to read books, because their books are free.

Compared with the condescending attitude of these Confucian scholars, no matter who came to Huiwen Bookstore, they behaved generously and modestly, which made people feel comfortable watching them.

Not many bamboo slips and silk books were sold in the bookstore, but a lot of money was spent on marketing, which was far from enough to cover the cost.

Chunyu Yue frowned. He took the lion's share of the profit. If he couldn't make money, he would definitely lose a lot of money.

"Lord Chunyu, why don't we open our bookstore to ordinary people so that they can read books for free? Otherwise, there will be no business and those people will just come here to watch the fun." A doctor looked at Chunyu Yue cautiously.

They all contributed money to this bookstore, so Chunyu Yue is not the only one who is losing money. They must find a way to make up for it.

Of course, there are also those who would rather save face than suffer.

Another person stiffened his neck and said, "That won't work. If we really do that, what's the difference between our bookstore and Huiwen Bookstore? Reading is such a noble thing, and it's all the fault of those troublemakers at Huiwen Bookstore."

"Then you should find a way to make more money." They were basically losing money every day, and they were full of anger.

"That's right, your family is not short of money, but we still have to eat and drink, and support the whole family."

Seeing that they started to argue, Chunyu Yue said coldly, "Enough, stop arguing. The bookstore is opened by everyone together, and it concerns the interests of everyone. Calm down and think of a good solution."

Chunyu Yue was also very unhappy. That money was most of his fortune. If he lost it all, he would cry to death.
