Chapter 319

The golden wheat is endless as far as the eye can see, connecting into one piece, exuding a charming light under the sunlight, the blue sky and white clouds, like a beautiful oil painting.

When the wind blows, the ears of wheat flutter with the wind.

The emperor gently held a handful of wheat ears, "It grows really well, and the grains are full. When will they be harvested?"

Farming is the foundation of this empire, and any emperor who is a little ambitious will take food seriously.

"It's just these two days." Mu Wanqing still followed the old rules. Zhuangzi planted half wheat and half cotton, and was self-sufficient. By then, he would not have a share. "Our wheat has always been the best. When it is harvested and ground into powder, we make cabbage and pork dumplings, which will be delicious."

"I want to eat it." The eldest princess was a little greedy for her food. Her craftsmanship is absolutely amazing, and what she cooks is better than others.

Mu Wanqing said casually, "You all come to eat then."

"Your Majesty, go this way."

Mu Wanqing led a group of people to an inconspicuous house, and there was nothing special about it from the outside.

The emperor looked at the hanging plaque, "Yao Yao Ling workshop? What does it mean?"

Mu Wanqing coughed, "It's easier to remember this way."

Yeah? The emperor expressed his disbelief. She has more hearts than anyone else, so she must have deep meaning.

When you walk into the house, you will find the difference, as soon as you enter it is the dormitory building and the cafeteria.

The door of the second entrance was locked tightly, and the security guards were guarding. When they saw Mu Wan come in, everyone saluted, "Master, you are here."

The security guard took out the key and opened the door. The second entrance was very large, with three main rooms, two side rooms, and two east and west courtyards.

Quiet, very quiet.

The three-entry is the same pattern. Mu Wanqing led everyone into the east-crossed courtyard of the three-entry.

There is a machine in the yard, and a screw rod is very conspicuous.

A man with a mustache came over with a suitcase, and he didn't care about other people. He only saw Mu Wanqing, "Master, look, is it what you want?"

He is a typical technician who is extremely passionate about research. He doesn't care about world affairs. Only Mu Wanqing can give him a second look.

As long as Mu Wanqing called him, it meant that there was a new product.

Mu Wanqing didn't look at it, but waved her hand, "Let's start."

The man took out the contents of the box and put them on the weird-looking machine. He pressed the screw rod heavily, brushed a few times, and a few sheets of paper were printed with no effort at all.

He took out the paper, handed it to Mu Wanqing with both hands, and continued the operation.

Mu Qingwan handed it over to the emperor, "Look."

The emperor Dingqing saw that it was actually a printed book. The official script was upright, the size was balanced, and the spacing was exactly the same. The typesetting was very pleasing to the eye, very flat and pleasing to the eye.

It's not unusual, it can be printed now, but it's not as portable.

"Is this what you mean by miracle?"

Mu Wanqing is so clever, she knew that there was a gap in his mind as soon as he heard it, "Don't worry, there's a good show to come."

Everyone was curious about the machine, which was a bit like a stamping lathe.

The mustache man stopped for a while and changed a batch of character models. Only then did the emperor see the difference.

He picked up a movable type and looked at it over and over.

Mu Wanqing introduced with a smile, "This is a metal movable type printing machine, you see, each word can be arranged at will, and you can print as many books as you want. A set of lettering can be used for more than ten years, saving time, labor, and labor. ."

"Moreover, this machine is convenient and simple, and one person can operate it."

The emperor is a discerning person who can see the benefits of this new thing at a glance. "No wonder it's called movable type. How many words did you engrave at a time?"

"This time I'm in a hurry, so I have engraved more than 1,000 characters. There is no problem with engraving the Three-Character Classic. I will add more fonts in the future. More than 10,000 characters will suffice." Mu Wanqing is currently doing an experiment. Scale printing.

"If there is damage, or if you encounter uncommon words, you can make up for it at any time."

The eldest princess reacted, surprised and delighted, "That is to say, my newspaper can be printed directly without having to be engraved in advance, right?"

If it can be done, it will be dozens of times lower than the original cost.

It's also amazing.

Mu Wanqing made the most old-fashioned printing press, which she had seen in the exhibition hall, and the principle was not difficult.

"Yes, you can have as many as you want, and the cost is low."

"That's great, now the vendors who copy the newspapers and sell them can't do it anymore." The eldest princess couldn't do it with excitement. "Sister Qingping, how did you get it out? I feel like I've lost a lot of money."

This cost goes down, sales will naturally rise.

Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "Then you didn't ask me for help."

The eldest princess laughed and hugged Mu Wanqing to her face, "Blame me, blame me for being stupid, I should have asked you for help."

The crown prince looked at it with enthusiasm, "Sister Qingping, do you want to cooperate with the eldest sister?"

"right."

The man with the mustache came over with a tray full of the finished products just printed, "The county master, the Three Character Classic is ready."

The eldest princess is very active. This is related to her future career. She took the printed products first, and the effect was quite good. The force was even and the stability was good.

After counting, there are actually ten copies, that is to say, ten books have been printed in a short period of time? Just bind it and you're done.

"So fast? It's unbelievable."

The emperor's eyes did not change, and his heartbeat quickened, "Qingping County Master, do you know what this means?"

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, but his slightly dry voice betrayed his true emotions.

Mu Wanqing said without hesitation, "In the future, poor children will be able to afford books, and knowledge is no longer the exclusive property of powerful families."

She said it casually and didn't care at all, but the father and son of the Tian family at the scene changed their faces.

The prince frowned slightly, "The appearance of the metal movable type printing press has greatly damaged the interests of those powerful families. They are so selfish and stingy, they will definitely hold a grudge against Sister Qingping."

"Why do you hate me? I'm just an ordinary person who loves money." Mu Wanqing was not nervous at all, her eyes were rolling, "Your Majesty, I will hand over this technology, you can run a government-run printing workshop, but, I There is one condition."

She has always been generous and knows how to choose.

The emperor is quite generous to his own people, "Can you divide it? Yes."

Mu Wanqing waved her hand, "No, our publishing house only needs the exclusive publishing and printing rights for the three books "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Characters"."

The emperor was a little surprised, "Exclusive?"

It was impossible for Mu Wanqing to hold such an important thing in her hands, "Yes, as long as we can go out, no other house can."

The emperor pondered for a while, "Many private printing workshops have not violated the law, and it is impossible to ban them."

He is a benevolent monarch and does not engage in hegemony.

Mu Wanqing is not an unreasonable person, "I understand, once this movable type printing comes out, who will be able to compete? Elimination is inevitable, the survival of the fittest. As for those who want to use movable type printing, they must follow the rules."

This is tantamount to reshuffling, giving the greatest benefit to the royal family and transferring the greatest risk to the royal family.

She is weak, innocent and simple.

The emperor's mind was racing, and he was already considering who was suitable to take over this piece.

"Are you sure you only need these three?"

Mu Wanqing thought for a while, "I will also print other books, but I won't sell them, they will only be used for collections and gifts."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Okay, you can send a few copies of everything you print to the palace."

"Good."

The eldest princess couldn't help but ask, "Where's the newspaper?"

Mu Wanqing winked at her, "It's not limited, it's not a book, you can print it any way you want."

The eldest princess looked at the emperor eagerly, "Father, isn't it?"

The emperor has also read the newspaper sponsored by the Grand Duke, and have to say that it is fun and practical.

"Yes, but you have to close it well, don't appear messy things, and promote more positive, good aspects."

The eldest princess went crazy with joy, "Got it."

The emperor could not stay outside for much longer, so he left with the printing press and movable type model, and also took the reluctant prince with him.

And the eldest princess stayed to discuss things, "Our publishing house should have a name, something nice and easy to remember."

She suddenly felt a move in her heart, "Ah, how about Sunny Publishing House?"

"Okay." Mu Wanqing decided to give up her name, "As for the shares, we are half of us, and you don't participate in the management."

The eldest princess hesitated, "I want to give 20% of my shares to the second sister and the third sister, so that they can have more money."

She has the demeanor of an elder sister and takes good care of her two younger sisters.

Mu Wanqing saw it in her eyes and felt a little happy. Who wouldn't like someone who is affectionate and righteous? "to make."

Both of them are straightforward people, and they negotiated and finalized the details. After negotiating, they directly signed the contract.

After the business was done, the eldest princess finally had the mind to chat, "Sister Qingping, why do you only need the exclusive rights to three books, four books and five classics, poetry and songs, and so many books from hundreds of scholars."

Mu Wanqing's mentality was very calm, "We must leave enough room for everything. When we eat meat, we also have to drink broth for others. If we eat alone, people hate us, and we won't last long."

She pointed out, "Don't look at the three books, think about how many schools with compulsory education are there in the country?"

Just doing elementary school textbooks can make them a lot of money, and they are inconspicuous, and they are made a fortune in silence.

The eldest princess is not stupid either.

"Sister Qingping, you are still the most powerful and your brain is the best, and the royal father thinks you are the most sensible."

The benefits are taken, and the favorability of the king is brushed, which is simply a textbook-like operation.

The eldest princess said that her studies were abolished.

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, the most sensible? The emperor would not think so.

On the other side, on the way back to the palace, the crown prince praised La Bala with a small mouth, "Imperial father, Sister Qingping is such a nice person. She is smart and capable, not greedy for money, and she is also very loyal."

The emperor smiled lightly, "You think of her too simply. Those three books are must-reads for enlightenment. Everyone who goes to school must learn them, so that she can count the money and smoke."

He broke everything apart and smashed it into pieces, and told the prince carefully.

"Do you understand now?"

The prince understood or understood, but it was a little sour, "Why didn't she choose me to cooperate? How can I not compare to the eldest sister? They still stick to their faces."

Everyone gave up the big head, what else do you want?

emperor:……

He rubbed his brows. Forget it, Mu Wanqing might just like this. She is not shy about adults, but she is very tolerant of children.

"You can pester her when you are free, and there is a follow-up to this."

The prince looked dazed, "Follow-up?"

"Yes, she has always maximized her interests." The emperor knew Mu Wanqing very well, "It feels like it's not over yet."

But he just couldn't figure out how she could do it.

The prince's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll let Sister Qingping know that I'm more obedient and cuter than the eldest sister, and fly with me next time."
