She said thoughtfully:

"As you said, before the advent of engraving and printing, copyists were the only way for the spread of all culture. Even the imperial court had special copyists."

Mo Yu nodded and listened to her carefully.

"Everything that is unique must form a scale, so the copyists have already formed an organization. These people make a living by copying books. If one day, they are no longer needed to copy books, then..."

On such a cold day, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Mo Yu's back.

"You mean, Mo Zicheng was killed because he touched the interests of these people?"

"if not?"

Zhong Chuchu continued:
"You see, next, the imperial court will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If the Mohist family is not given an explanation, and the people of the world are not given an explanation, then who will dare to offer good suggestions in the future!"

Mo Yu's heart was shocked. She had considered this before. This woman was very scheming.

If he hadn't been deprived of the credit by Mo Zicheng that day.

Then he might be the one who died today!
No wonder she, a philistine woman, is willing to give up this credit!
After Mo Yu left, Zhong Chuchu sat in the study, tapped the table with one hand, and murmured:

"Hey, it's time!"

The sudden rise of the storm ruffles the spring water.

Zhong Chuchu lives in Qingyan Town and is carrying out her money-making plan.

However, Mo Yu personally experienced a change that she had already guessed.

Mo Zicheng was assassinated and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

After some investigation, it was indeed as Zhong Chuchu inferred.

The emperor's thunderous method directly killed all the participants, and the leader directly killed the nine tribes.

Following a thorough investigation, Mo Zicheng's impersonation was also found out.

Finally, we found out that the inventor was a peasant woman named Zhong Chuchu!

In order to appease people's hearts, the emperor specially ordered people to come to Zhong's house in person with rewards!
On this day, in the small courtyard of the Zhong family.

More than a dozen guards wearing uniform black armor and carrying long swords stood on both sides. They were all powerful in stature and looked majestic. The leader was a man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a cold and sharp mouth.

He was wearing a scarlet robe and a silver fish bag around his waist.

His slender and tall figure and dark eyes were as deep as black holes, making him even more profound and majestic.

"Sir, this is the Zhong family."

The magistrate of Yuyang County bowed and introduced.

"Oh, I see."

A low and magnetic voice came from the man's mouth.

"Where is Zhong Chuchu?"

"The women are here."

Zhong Chuchu took a step forward and said.

The man lowered his head and stared at this beautiful woman.

After a while, he waved his hand behind him.

After a moment, two guards came in carrying a heavy wooden box.

"The emperor has ordered that a special reward be given to the inventor of engraving and printing."

The man said coldly.

"Zhong Chuchu, hurry up and receive the reward to express your gratitude!"

Magistrate Lu reminded in a low voice from the side.

"Public woman Zhong Chuchu, thank you for your kindness!" She said without changing her expression.

Song Li was standing behind the county magistrate, his head lowered, already nervous and sweating profusely.

He has never seen an official greater than the county magistrate in his life.

Look at the official uniform this man is wearing, which can only be worn by officials of the fifth rank or above!

It’s the fifth grade! This is a fifth-grade official!
County magistrates are only seventh-grade officials!
But he is upright and has no class at all.

This invention invented by Mr. Zhong was actually praised by the emperor!

The future of her two children will definitely be limitless!
He made up his mind to make good friends with her from now on!

Song Li was thinking about this and regretted it in his heart.

If I had known what happened today, I should have given her the lowest price when Mrs. Zhong came to buy land last time!

It’s okay even if you don’t give me a cent! Zhong Chuchu's attitude of neither being humble nor arrogant impressed this man.

I didn't expect to meet such an interesting person on this errand.

He was on his way this time, and there were more important things to do later.

Just getting ready to return.

Zhong Chuchu stopped him.

"Sir, I have something important to report!"

When the man heard this, he paused in his steps and looked playful:

"Oh? What else do you want?"

"A Thing About Printing."

She lowered her eyelids, submissive.

"The emergence of woodblock printing will indeed increase the speed and quantity of book printing. However, this method also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the preservation of woodblock printing is also very troublesome. Therefore, after my day and night research, this method has now been Improved.”

Having said this, she magically pulled out a pamphlet from her body.

"This is my latest perfected printing technique. Please help me present it to Your Majesty."

Zhong Chuchu held the brochure in both hands with a sincere look on her face.

The man frowned slightly and took the booklet solemnly.

Opening it casually, the title page read neatly: Five characters for movable type printing!

After sending away the last Song Lizheng, Zhong Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Open the wooden box and take a look at the emperor's reward!

She was so happy that she couldn’t open her mouth from ear to ear!
The box is covered with a layer of pearl agate, some red coral, and a beautifully packaged set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

She doesn't know much about these things, but the things given by the royal family can't be bad!

In addition to these, the lower layer is all silver!
The pieces of silver ingots are dazzling. This box contains at least 500 taels!
She sighed in her heart, this was really thoughtful.

It must have been found out that she is just a peasant woman. No matter how valuable she is given, it is not as real as money!
Zhong Chuchu put several strings of pearls into the storage space.

All the remaining red coral agate was exchanged with the trading mall.

[The best red coral, priced at [-] mall coins. For sale? 】

【Yes! 】

[The best agate, priced at [-] mall coins. For sale? 】

【Yes! 】

Looking at the balance in the trading mall, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

She knew that if her status was not too low, the reward would definitely be more than these things.

The news that Zhong Chuchu was rewarded by the emperor spread throughout Qingyan Town overnight.

For a time, the Lin family was full of people, and many relatives who couldn't reach them came to the door one after another.

The attitude of the people in the town towards Zhong Chuchu has changed dramatically.

Those who had had grudges with him before were worried.

I'm afraid Zhong Chuchu will cause trouble for them!
Song Lizheng also came here once later and talked about finding people to help build new houses for free.

But she rejected them all.

She has no shortage of money now, so there is no need for such small favors.

Zhong Chuchu had already traded all the things rewarded by the emperor in the trading mall, but others didn't know it. They all said that money and silk moved people's hearts.

That night, she was just getting ready to lie down and sleep.

Suddenly, the black clouds in the courtyard screamed.

Zhong Chuchu heard in the house that something seemed to be kicked down in the yard, making a muffled thud.

Her heart tightened. The last time Wang Dabo sneaked into her house, she still had lingering fears about this incident until now.

She got up carefully and held a bottle of her own specially prepared pepper spray in her hand.

In the other hand, he held a powerful flashlight.

Following her last experience, she stood about one meter away from the door.

Unexpectedly, the footsteps in the courtyard were slightly hesitant, and he went straight into the study.

Zhong Chuchu thought to herself, fortunately there is nothing valuable in the study, all the valuable things are in her blue star bracelet!
