Tang Shiyue stepped back: "Why should I tell you? We are not friends, huh!"
Yan Dong: “…”
He smiled helplessly and said, "You change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book."
"Of course we have to fall out if the negotiations fail." Tang Shiyue said, "Originally, I wanted to give you a few more sets of cashmere after it arrives, but since the negotiations failed, forget it."
She opened the script on the table and continued reading.
Yan Dong: “…”
He was both amused and speechless.
Although this young lady is young, she is very eloquent. It is impossible to win an argument with her, and it is really impossible to get angry with her.
Just as he was about to tell a joke to change the subject, Xia Yuhui came in hurriedly: "Boss! Boss!"
Tang Shiyue said through the window: "Here!"
...
...
Xia Yuhui came in and looked around: "Are Sheng Xiaolang and Chen'er here?"
“No.”
Xia Yuhui frowned: "Do you know where they went?"
"I don't know." Tang Shiyue was very surprised: "Isn't Achen studying there?"
When this was mentioned, Xia Yuhui was filled with anger. "Ever since Wen Qu left, this Chen'er has been lazy every day. Sheng Xiaolang is still good to him and asks him out whenever he has the chance. I don't know where he went to play. He hasn't even finished the homework that Wen Qu assigned the day before yesterday..."
He said to Yan Dong helplessly: "You should also take care of your nephew..."
Before Yan Dong could say anything, Tang Shiyue raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
She really didn't expect Xia Yuhui to have the attributes of a bear patriarch. She looked at him speechlessly: "What are you thinking? What does this have to do with Sheng Qi? Did Sheng Qi kidnap Tang Junchen? When Sheng Qi came to call, why didn't my brother, Yang, and Yao go? It's obvious that Tang Junchen had no self-control and wanted to have fun. What's the point of putting the blame on outsiders? The chirping of cicadas in summer and the wind and snow in winter are just external factors. Is Sheng Qi's invitation essentially different?"
Xia Yuhui was speechless.
Yandong watched with great interest.
It's miserable when she scolds you, but when her sharp words are directed at others, it's really refreshing to listen to!
Xia Yuhui sat down helplessly: "Before Wenqu left, he asked me to control them..."
Tang Shiyue said, "You are a teacher, not a nanny! You are telling a three-year-old what is right and what is wrong. He is already sixteen! Doesn't he understand? He knows it is wrong but still does it. Why do you care about him?"
Xia Yuhui sighed: "Okay, okay."
Tang Shiyue continued to lower her head to read the storybook. Xia Yuhui was depressed for a long time and asked casually, "What book are you reading?"
Tang Shiyue glanced at him, and Xia Yuhui was stunned: "I thought you were studying."
"Am I that kind of material?" Tang Shiyue glanced at him and said, "I'm just looking at it for fun. Do you want to read it? I have many more." She stood up and opened the curtain on the bookshelf: "Mr. Meng, do you want to read it?"
"No," Yan Dong smiled and shook his head: "I don't really watch this."
Xia Yuhui was very surprised and walked over to take a look: "How could you find so many storybooks? It's really not easy."
"Mr. Xu gave it to me," Tang Shiyue said, "Isn't it difficult? Are there so few storybooks in the world? No wonder I couldn't find many storybooks in the bookstores in town."
"Needless to say?" Xia Yuhui said, "Books are too expensive, so there are of course few storybooks on the market. Wenqu actually bought so many of them. These must be worth at least two hundred taels of silver!"
He sighed with some emotion: "If the price of books can be lowered, perhaps poor children can also go to school."
Tang Shiyue said casually: "This is not easy."
"Oh?" Xia Yuhui said, "You are quite arrogant. Tell me what to do?"
Tang Shiyue asked casually: "Why should I tell you?"
Xia Yuhui thought she was bragging, and considering she was the boss, he didn't ask any more questions and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Yan Dong asked her with a smile: "Are you just talking nonsense?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I can do what I say." Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "What if I really can reduce the cost of books in the world by half, or even more than half?"
Yan Dong glanced at her and smiled: "If you can really do it, I...I can agree to one of your requests, it's not excessive."
A request? Tang Shiyue was stunned.
In fact, what she meant was "Call me daddy if you win", and she was just joking. She didn't expect him to say that.
She looked at Yandong carefully.
Although I don't know who he is, I can guess that his "one request" should be worth a lot of money.
So he said, “Okay, deal.”
She high-fived him, then said, "Wait a minute."
She took out two seals, one was the "Xianlu Mingzhu" carved by Huo Qijing for her, and the other was the "Tang Shiyue Seal" carved by someone else later. Then she took a piece of paper and stamped it.
Yan Dong was puzzled, and Tang Shiyue said, "I need to stamp these two seals on this piece of paper. I can stamp them one by one. I don't need to carve a whole piece. In fact, it's the same with books. You don't need to carve a whole page of a book. You only need to make a small square for each word, and then arrange these small squares one by one on each page. In this way, the small square of each word can be reused many times, and you don't have to carve it every time. Doesn't this save a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of materials?"
Yes, it's movable type printing.
Historically, movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty. Now, she was asked to bring out the butterfly.
In fact, it is not just movable type printing. Finding ways to improve papermaking technology can also reduce the cost of books.
Yan Dong was obviously stunned.
He thought about what she said carefully, then slammed the table and stood up: "Yes! You are right! You are really smart!"
He strode out and waved his hand casually, and his followers came over immediately. He quickly gave some instructions, and the followers left in response.
Yan Dong turned back and looked at her for a few seconds, "How did you come up with that?"
Tang Shiyue had always thought that Yan Dong was gentle and tolerant, but at that moment just now, she really felt like she was seen through.
But actress Tang was not scared. She smiled heartlessly and said, "You will never imagine how many good ideas a lazy guy can come up with just to be lazy." She blinked her eyes with a smile.
Yan Dong slowly withdrew his gaze.
If she explained in detail, he might really doubt it, but she just said it casually, and he felt that he was overthinking.
Besides, this method was unheard of, and he had no reason to doubt it. If it wasn't her idea, who else could it be?
So Yan Dong smiled and said, "So, what do you want to ask for?"
Tang Shiyue thought to herself, you didn't even agree to an advertisement for the emperor, and you still have the nerve to ask! On the surface, she said calmly, "Actually, I don't have anything I want for the time being."
Yan Dong frowned slightly: "Then do you want to make a request for your friend?"
When he mentioned it, she suddenly had an idea: "By the way, you know who A Jing is, right?"
Yan Dong nodded, and Tang Shiyue said, "Do you know any border guards that you can recommend to me?"
Yan Dong frowned slightly. Then he asked her as if he was hearing this for the first time: "He wants to join the army? Then why doesn't he go to the Northwest Pass?"
This was a rare opportunity, so Tang Shiyue immediately exaggerated and described Du Kerong's misdeeds.
Yan Dong frowned for a while: "So just for this, you gave up the Northwest Pass?"
