Rebirth Space: There Are Noble Women in the Nongmen

Chapter 64: A Trip to Fucheng (23)

After thinking about it, Mrs. Dong said again: "Since you are leaving in the future, then Shuniang and I will go out of the city with you, and it will not be too conspicuous when we return to Beijing. When we come back from the capital, the library you mentioned earlier If you think about it, you can finish it. At that time, Shuniang and I will buy books for you from the capital and send them to you."

send books?

Even in the capital city, there are as many books that can be bought in bookstores outside as there are in the collections of major families and academies?However, if you want their collection of books, even if you want not only ordinary books but ordinary books, it is impossible without paying something.

Zhao Guoer's heart skipped a beat, thinking of movable type printing.

After a little hesitation, she whispered in Dong's ear, "Godmother, I have a way to quickly print a book, do you want it?"

"Yes, of course. What is the solution?" With a heartbeat, Mrs. Dong immediately came to look at Zhao Guoer energetically.

Zhao Guoer looked around and said nothing.Dong patted himself on the head and laughed, then waved away the people around him, looking at Zhao Guoer expectantly again.

"Movable type printing."

After briefly explaining the book printing process, Zhao Guoer explained to Dong that it was the difficulty of engraving and printing in use today, which made the books expensive and the circulation was extremely small.

But if it can be changed to printing with movable type, the speed of printing books will be increased.Even if the price of books is still expensive, at least more books can be printed, so that they will not be lost after a long time.

"If this method is really successful, it will be a matter of merit."

Dong said excitedly: "If this is true, I will ask my father to write a letter to the imperial court for you."

"do not."

Zhao Guo'er quickly refused: "Godmother, don't let anyone know that I gave you this method. This should be considered as compensation for the loss of the people who don't want the sugar workshop. With this method, you can contact a few more families If you have a large collection of books, you may be able to exchange books for books. If you exchange more books, they will be printed and sold. Isn’t that earning money and fame and prestige among scholars? I don’t ask too much, as long as we You can pack all the books in the family library."

"Why are you so incapable of settling accounts, kid? If this is true, opening a bookshop will not make less money than the sugar workshop in your village. The most important thing is that no one dares to underestimate it, saying that this business smells like copper." Such yin and yang words."

Mrs. Dong was worried about Zhao Guoer's "lack of heart", and said in a funny and angry way: "He can still gain both fame and fortune, and leave his name through the ages."

"I'm not a scholar either, and I'm not interested in gaining fame and wealth, leaving a name forever."

Zhao Guoer waved his hand: "I read this moveable type printing from a book. It was an idea thought up by an ancient man named Bi Sheng. I don't know why it didn't pass down. If you have to write a book and ask for it to be sealed, you should give it to him." Please seal it."

Please give a seal to an ancient man who doesn't know where he was born?
Dong sighed with a helpless smile: "That is an ancient man after all, even if the method is his, but it is not he who spread the word after all, right? Now if you can get this movable type printing and return it to the person who spread it, the fame and fortune you can get Nothing less."

"Godmother, I know. But I really don't want those fame and wealth. I just want benefits."

Zhao Guo'er said to Dong's very straightforwardly: "Those fame are of no great use to me, even if the Holy One is willing to make me a princess. What use is a princess with only a false name? I take it It is even impossible to use it to exchange books with people who have a large collection of books. It is just a false name, and it is impossible to really protect Baitang Fangzi.

But it's different when you hold it.At least in the future, if the sugar business on our side gets better, who will take a fancy to it.If we let them know that our sugar business is protected by you.No matter how rich and powerful they are, they may not be willing to take the risk of offending you, and they must snatch the sugar recipe, right? "

Zhao Guo'er knew that no matter whether there was movable type printing or not, she would not be able to escape as a princess.

And I rely on the title of princess that I got from my mother, that is the real princess with a fief.

As for those obtained by printing with movable type, [-]% of them will only be the title of a false princess without a fief.Not to mention the real dignitaries, even the ordinary dignitaries will not have much deterrent effect.

If it's just a small matter, they might save face.But when it came to such a huge benefit as Bai Tang Fangzi, they had plenty of means to grab it.

Unless she is willing to let her mother recognize her relatives in advance, relying on the current emperor's love for the eldest princess's grandmother, no one will dare to offend them easily.

The same is true for the Dong family, who also need to use the emperor's favor to scare off those greedy people.

The godmother's biological father is a second-rank official. If he has the reputation and prestige of movable type printing, whether it is his weight in the emperor's heart or the scholar's heart, it will make people consciously or unconsciously jealous .

So, why does she have to have a false name if she doesn't want to recognize her relatives in advance?

It's better to give this to the Dong family who need it more.

After all, the character of the godmother Dong is not necessarily the character of everyone in the Dong family.Now if she wants to have a quiet and stable development in the past five years, she has to give up.

Originally, relying on the godmother Dong in this life, Zhao Guoer knew that if she wanted to, she could easily contact her real grandmother in advance and reveal her mother's real life experience.

However, Zhao Guoer suddenly didn't want to.

There is not much benefit in restoring the identity and returning to the capital in advance.On the contrary, every word and deed of her and mother will be seen by others, and her hands will be restrained to prevent her from developing her own power.

Since being reminded by Shuniang inadvertently, Zhao Guoer has been thinking about how to use the quick inner strength method to cultivate a group of secret forces belonging to herself and her mother.If her words and deeds were being watched by someone, what else could she do?
Smiling at Mrs. Dong, Zhao Guoer added: "Mother, let's get what we need."

"Everyone gets what they need?"

Dong repeated this word that he had never heard before, carefully chewing on the meaning of the word, and then laughed along with him: "That's not the case. We can really say that we get what we need."

Nodding her head, she said happily: "In this case, I won't be hypocritical with you. My father is a literati. If he has the name of promoting movable type printing, he will not only be praised by the Holy Majesty, but also be able to be recognized among literati. It has a lot of prestige. It is indeed more easy to make people dare not provoke. But the prescription to help you protect the white sugar was agreed before, so I can’t use this to offset it. This, I can’t do it now What promise do I give you? When I return to the capital, I will see what my father has to say. But don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"Godmother, didn't I tell you that you just need to give me books. The more the better."
