Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 37
Of course engraving and printing can't fail, no matter what, it's more convenient than finding a bunch of people to copy books, but the other party has concerns, and Yun Yiyi can understand, she nodded, and said very straightforwardly: "OK."

Ji Xun said with a smile: "To show my sincerity, Madam can pick a book from Shusi to take away today."

Yun Yiyi said before that she hoped that the book shop would provide her with a few books, but Ji Xun thought it was a long-term request.For example, provide her with a few books every month.

Yun Yiyi shook her head, she didn't have much interest in the books in this book shop for the time being, "I mean I wrote some things myself, when you find someone to experiment with woodblock printing, can you print a few copies for me by the way? ? You don’t need too much, three copies are enough.”

Ji Xun was slightly confused, "A book written by Madam?"

There are still few scholars who write books alone in the Great Zhou Congress, let alone women.He used to think that Yun Yiyi was the daughter of a rich family and could read a few words, but he didn't expect that Yun Yiyi could write books.

Yun Yiyi shyly took out a few picture albums, handed them to him, and waved her hand, "No, that's just my random graffiti. The paintings are not very complicated and the words are few. Can you help me."

Those pictures were displayed on the table, Ji Xun was silent for a long while without saying a word.

At first he didn't understand what was painted on it, but combined with the font below the pattern, he understood slightly.

Ji Xun has seen many famous artists, and also seen the paintings of many famous teachers. A pair of paintings is worth a thousand dollars, and those paintings have profound artistic conception.This painting is really unsightly, even the basic proportions are wrong, for example, the villain has such a big head, but the body is so small that it is almost invisible.But after looking at it for a long time, he actually felt that these pictures are very vivid, showing the most critical characteristics of each object.

Then, he couldn't laugh or cry, "Ma'am, this is really what you drew." This painting is indeed simple and easy to carve, after all, the body of the villain in the picture is only made up of a few sticks.

If there is a match in this era, then Ji Xun will know that it is a stickman.

But Yun Yiyi has a shrewd portrait, Ji Xun really didn't expect this kind of painting to be made by her.

Yun Yiyi was a little embarrassed: "I just draw pictures casually, and use them as an enlightenment book for the two cubs in my family. They can't understand the pictures that are too beautiful."

"Those two children were taught by you?" Ji Xun was taken aback. A few days ago, Chen Si told him that those two children could read and write, so he thought Yun Yiyi hired a teacher for them.

"That's right." Yun Yiyi glanced at him inexplicably, "But they are too young, so I'll just teach them some simple principles. If you want to learn knowledge, wait until they grow up."

Ji Xun didn't know what he was thinking, and his gaze towards Yun Yiyi became strange, and he said, "Okay, I can help my wife engrave these albums for free, and if it succeeds in the later stage, the book store will permanently engrave them for you for free. Any book, let's start signing the contract now, if Madam needs anything, you can find me at any bookstore."

After he finished speaking, he began to draw up the contract. Yun Yiyi looked at it and found that there was no problem, so he signed and printed his fingerprints, and everyone kept a copy.

Before leaving, Ji Xun gave him a book plate, the size of a jade pendant, with the character Ji engraved on it, and it was exquisitely made.

Chen Si obviously saw it, and his face was shocked.

After Yun Yiyi walked away, he asked: "Mr. Ji, why did you give her the book card of Ji's family? It is only given by very distinguished guests."

Ji's book cards are all customized in limited editions, even in Da Zhou Kingdom, only [-] were ordered, and he actually gave one to Yun Yiyi.

You must know that although the Ji family was born as a businessman, there are many descendants of the Ji family, and they are not without officials. Besides, they have a monopoly on books and their status is extraordinary. Who would not want to have a relationship with the Ji family? Everything she had was given to her, which shows how much she attaches importance to it.

Even if the other party has the ability to find a few more people, just pay her more silver taels, and there is no need to waste a book card.

Ji Xun said lightly: "Of course I have my own reasons."

If engraving and printing can be really successful and widely used in bookstores, what is the importance of a book plate?

His eyes fell on the album in his hand, and he suddenly smiled slightly.That smile was so pure that there was no impurity, and he thought of the oil-paper umbrella that Yun Yiyi put aside, but the material was very tight, he had never seen it before, maybe it was made by that woman herself.

He was suddenly curious about how this woman's brain grew.

Things went smoothly unexpectedly, Yun Yiyi came back alone without any burden.

She just talked with Ji Xun on the second floor and didn't think it was a big deal. When she came out, she felt that the sun was shining extremely brightly. Fortunately, the umbrella she brought today covered her completely, which made her relax her eyes.

After returning home, her first reaction was to see the two cubs.

Yan Dashuang and Yan Xiaoshuang didn't sleep, but they listened to her very much and were lying on the bed to play.

"Mother, I put the vegetables in the pot." Yan Dashuang invited Chong.

Yan Xiaoshuang said: "Mother eat."

These two cubs know how to care about people now. She touched the faces of the two cubs and asked, "What did you do today?"

Yan Xiaoshuang snapped her fingers and said seriously: "Eat, watch the chicken, and sleep."

Yan Dashuang: "After my mother left, I went to eat first. I ate the meat buns. The meat buns were delicious. I ate the small steamed buns. The small steamed buns were delicious..."

After listening to Da Shuang's slobber, Yun Yiyi boasted: "You are very obedient, I will tell you stories after mother finishes eating."

The eyes of the two cubs were shining, they followed Yun Yiyi's orders today, just for this sentence.Even Yancai asked them to go out to play, but they didn't go.

Yun Yiyi usually restricts them from going out to play, but she is not at home, so she is a little worried. The mountains are full of mountains and plains, and some roads are not smooth. If she is at home, the two cubs will count the time to come back, but she is not at home, What if the two cubs walk away and something happens.

The food in the kitchen was still warm, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables was still warm in the rice cooker. After eating, she went into the room to tell stories to the two cubs.

This time Yun Yiyi didn't draw a picture either, she just wanted to tell them a sleep story.

"At this time the wolf knocked on the door and said rabbit, rabbit, I am your mother, you open the door quickly..."

The two cubs became sleepy after hearing this, and their heavy eyelids were also covered.

Yan Dashuang's hands were still holding Yun Yiyi's, but his eyes were already closed, "Mother, the rabbit is so stupid, it's not clever, so it won't recognize the wrong mother."

Yun Yiyi hummed, slowed down her speech, and finally her voice became softer and softer, and then disappeared.

The two cubs fell asleep peacefully on the bed, and Yun Yi also took a nap leaning on the pillows on the bed.

At the same time, Ji Xun got into the carriage and returned to the county seat.

In this day and age, there are only a handful of people who can own a horse, but the Ji family has raised several horses, which shows their strength.

A few days ago, he told his eldest brother that there is a way to solve the problem of books, but in fact he was not at ease.

As soon as he got out of the car, someone told him that Brother Ji was here, and Ji Xun's expression changed, and he hurried to the bookstore in the center of the county.

Brother Ji, that is, Ji Xiuyong, although they have the same father and different mother, their relationship is indeed very good.

The bookstores in the county town are much larger, and there are all kinds of books. There are many people who come to the county town to read books. Some people flip through the books and think they are good, so they buy them.

Ji Xiuyong looked around the bookstore, but there was a rare sadness between his brows.

"Brother, why are you here?" Ji Xun asked hurriedly when he saw him standing on the bookshelf.

Ji Xiuyong was in his thirties, and his face was upright, with three points between his eyebrows and eyes similar to Ji Xun's. He turned around and said slowly, "Wait for you."

Ji Xun said: "There are many people here, so let's go back and talk."

Ji Xiuyong lowered his eyes, concealed a trace of light, and nodded.

Ji's family is in the capital, several people live together, it is a big family, but after all, Ji's family is a businessman, they often go out to do business, and only Ji's father and Ji's mother often live in the old house.

The biggest industry of the Ji family is books, which almost monopolize all books, but the various industries are not so simple. For example, they also sell pens, inks, papers and inkstones. This book is naturally inseparable from paper, so it is necessary to go to the paper Negotiate the price.

Although Ji Xun is in his late twenties, he has never been married. He took over part of the family's business and helped take care of it, but it was not involved much. In order to avoid marriage urging, he bought a house in the county town by himself, and he felt at ease.

It's not the first time Ji Xiuyong came here, he sighed: "You are really leisurely."

The yard is full of bamboos, and a pond has been dug, and a few goldfish are raised, which looks really nice.

Ji Xun shook his head, "It's just some arty practices. By the way, brother, I went to see that woman today. She really has a way to produce a large number of books in a short period of time."

Ji Xiuyong frowned, "Really, have you inquired about her identity? Is it reliable?"

Ji Xun shook his head again, "Is it true? She didn't take the initiative to tell me, maybe she didn't want to reveal her identity, and I didn't ask. But I know her name is Yun Yiyi."

It was when the contract was signed that Ji Xun knew her name.

Ji Xiuyong felt speechless. In this business, there are still people who don't ask their identity. If the other party is a liar, isn't it impossible to find anyone?Although Ji Xun is smart, sometimes he doesn't know what the other person thinks. He was admitted as a scholar at a young age, but he didn't have any big ambitions, so he came to this small county to be a teacher.

"There are so many people surnamed Yun, and I have never heard of a wealthy family named Yun. Does she really have this way to recruit so many scribes?" Ji Xiuyong was dubious.

Ji Xun gave a low laugh, "When did I say that I asked someone to copy the book?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Xiuyuan asked.

Ji Xun followed Yun Yiyi's practice and demonstrated the principle of engraving and printing, which directly stunned Ji Xiuyuan.

"How about it, brother, should we find someone to test it out? If it works, we won't need someone to copy the book later."

Ji Xiuyuan glanced at him, his eyes were as dark as night, and his mind was already running fast, "I'll send someone to find a carpenter to try it out now, and copying books still needs to continue and make two-handed preparations."

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Ji Xun's eyes fell on the album he was still holding in his hand, and he said quickly: "Brother, I will go back to the capital with you."

By the way, he also went to see if the woodblock printing technique could be successful.
