Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

It's just that there is a shortage of supply, and mining is more difficult in winter, so there is a shortage of supply. This thing is not exclusive to anyone. When Yu Xiuming started selling coal, many people began to look for traces of coal in their own urban areas, and they could always find a lot of it.

In fact, Wang Shiyu's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached eight months. It is now March, the sun and breeze are just right, but it is basically rainy here at this time, it rains a lot, and the climate is very humid, which makes it very uncomfortable when sleeping.

So the house is more humid, and at the same time the business at sea has also been affected a bit. After all, there is a lot of rain and strong winds, and ships dare not leave the port at will, otherwise it is easy to capsize. In fact, they are mainly afraid of typhoons. Now is the typhoon season, so they have to hide.

This is not the case. Yu Xiuming started looking for other side jobs and started producing various types of paper. Paper is very expensive now. One roll of paper costs one tael of silver, and one roll of paper can only be used for half a month.

Now, Yu Xiuming has improved the method of making these papers. With reference to modern infrastructure technology, he can make some rough paper and other rice paper at will. Of course, it is not as complicated and comfortable to use as the current rice paper crafts, but for other ordinary people, they can also afford to read books in this way. In fact, because now there is typesetting printing technology and no movable type printing technology, Yu Xiuming studied movable type printing in the study for half a night just by listening to it.

Once this thing is researched out, it will solve the problem that ordinary people in the world cannot afford to read books. Why are most of the people in the court from aristocratic families? It is because books are too expensive. Even handwritten copies are ridiculously expensive. This is why Mr. Liu took the book that Wang Shiyu bought for Xiao Ruirui to read. Even someone like Mr. Liu could not afford the cost of books, let alone those poor families.

Finally, the movable type printing technique was figured out, but it required very skilled workers to operate it. Although Yu Xiuming figured it out, it was still very difficult to implement. It was not something that could be done overnight, so Zhou Qingyun had to get involved. The Ministry of Industry under him was actually the most suitable candidate, but that did not stop Yu Xiuming from disgracing Zhou Qingyun.

They also needed a publishing certificate from the imperial court before they could print books. The invention of movable type printing not only represented a milestone for their Yu family, but also enabled more children from poor families to afford books. The practice of a book costing several taels of silver gradually became a thing of the past.

Yu Xiuming returned to his family with the movable type printing technology and discussed it with them for several days before confirming its feasibility. Even the elders of the clan were trembling when they walked out of the door. It really brought honor to the family. Yu Xiuming's decision really brought honor to the family. If it really succeeded, their Yu family would finally have a place in history books and could even be respected by scholars all over the world. How could they not be happy? How could they not be trembling?

The invention of movable type printing finally shocked Zhou Qingyun. Even glass, coal and paper had not surprised him so much before. After all, it only improved his life. Apart from the fact that the cheap paper made him happy, he was not interested in anything else. The main thing was that he could do without it. This time, movable type printing completely changed all of Zhou Qingyun's ideas. He was even so excited that he wanted to come to Jizhou City again and again.

This was not the case. Zhou Qingyun directly gave up his ambition to be like a god in a painting, and ran directly from the court to Jizhou city. He came to the movable type printing factory where Yu Xiuming was researching to see the printing technology they had just developed. He also brought people from the court's Ministry of Works. It was said that those people from the court's Ministry of Works were scolded badly.

Because Yu Xiuming, a mere businessman, was able to research movable type printing, but someone from the Ministry of Industry who should have come into contact with these things every day couldn't figure it out, so who else could they blame if not him?

Even Yu Xiuming followed these people every day and watched them being scolded. Yu Xiuming knew that he could not be greedy for this thing and could only hand it over, so he cooperated with these people in learning.

After they had seen the convenience of movable type printing, they finally understood why Yu Xiuming asked the mayor of Jizhou City to send the letter urgently over a distance of 800 miles.

Zhou Qingyun looked at Yu Xiuming's cheerful and cheerful appearance, and seemed to understand why Wang Shiyu liked this man. After all, Wang Shiyu was really obsessed with looks. He didn't understand it at first, but after spending a long time together, he finally understood it.

"You're lucky. Your face really counts for a lot of points."

Yu Xiuming raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled faintly. He didn't like this person mentioning his wife. His wife was to be protected, not to be used to attack others.

"I am quite lucky. After all, my wife and I have been childhood sweethearts. As time goes by, we naturally get to know each other. Let's not talk about my wife.

You came here today just for this movable type printing technique, right? I know I can't keep this thing, so I have to hand it over as a member of the Yu family. Even if you have a problem with me, you can't help but appease those elders."

Zhou Qingyun turned his head to look at Yu Xiuming. The smile on his face was really annoying. He simply turned his head away, not wanting to look at it anymore. He continued walking forward, looking at the printed books in front of him. He found that there was no difference from the ones that had been engraved and typeset before. They were exactly the same.

"Of course. I am the emperor. Even if there are some problems between you and me due to some reasons, I still have a sense of the overall situation. After I return to Jinling, rewards and honors will naturally be bestowed upon me."

The two of them were engaged in a battle of wits and courage. In particular, Yu Xiuming did not want Wang Shiyu to see him, so he did not even mention it. For some reasons, Zhou Qingyun did not mention going to the Mo family either. How could he be qualified for that?

Wang Shiyu didn't know about this because her belly was already very big. Even though she controlled her diet and didn't eat too much, her limbs were still slender, but her belly was still incredibly big. After all, she was carrying twins, which was really tiring.

Normally, twins would be born prematurely, so when the baby was only eight months old, City Lord Yu and his wife moved directly into Wang Shiyu's home to prevent her from going into labor at any time. In order to prevent her from going into labor suddenly, even a midwife and a doctor were invited to watch over her at home.
