Qinghe explained to Baili Ye the principles and methods of movable type printing. After listening, Baili Ye nodded repeatedly, indicating that this method was feasible.

"We can first let people try movable type printing to see how it works. If it works well, we can consider expanding the scale and setting up our own printing workshop," Qinghe said.

"Well, this is a good idea. However, movable type printing requires certain skills and experience, so we need to find some knowledgeable people to help. I'll let Bailiu do it." Baili Ye said.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Qinghe said.

In the following days, Qinghe and Baili Ye were busy with the decoration and opening preparations of the teahouse, while copying books day and night.

At the same time, the two did not forget to promote movable type printing. Qinghe wrote down the steps of movable type printing on a piece of paper and gave it to Bailiu. Bailiu found a few literate craftsmen according to the requirements and began to study movable type printing.

They first made a batch of standard fonts, and after firing them, they made a small movable type version. The craftsmen worked non-stop for three days and finally succeeded in the experiment, with very good results.

Bai Liu brought the experimental results to report to Baili Ye and Qinghe, and they were very excited.

Baili Ye suggested:

"Xiao He, don't we have to build a medical school in the future to teach students how to read?

I think what you said before about pinyin recognition is very good. Why don’t we print out the dictionary in your space to change everyone’s habit of memorizing words by rote? What do you think? "

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Of course that's great. I was so busy before that I never thought about it. If I print it now, the students can use it when the medical school is built. Our time in the capital is not fixed, so why not let the prince handle this?"

Baili Ye looked at Qinghe. The little girl knew a lot and could do a lot, but she was never proud or complacent, nor did she take credit for herself. The invention of pinyin literacy in Dasheng could be said to be a huge achievement, no less than the discovery of crops.

To promote crops, the little girl easily gave the credit to others. Even though the credit was given to her elder brother, she was still very touched.

Baili Ye took Qing He's hand and brought her into his arms, "I thank you on behalf of the people of Dasheng, and I also thank you on behalf of my elder brother."

Qing He leaned in Baili Ye's arms, feeling his warmth, "Aye, there is no need for you and me to thank each other. I do this for the people of Dasheng."

Baili Ye hugged Qinghe tightly, "Xiaohe, you are always so kind and selfless. I am really lucky to have met you."

After the two hugged each other for a while, Qing He raised his head and looked at Baili Ye, "Aye, let's go find the prince now and tell him about printing movable type and printing dictionaries."

Baili Ye nodded and held Qinghe's hand, "Okay, let's go now."

The two men came to the prince's mansion and told the prince about the successful experiment of movable type printing and the printing of the dictionary.

The prince was also wondering what movable type printing was.

Baili Ye was responsible for explaining it clearly, and then showed him the sample of the successful experiment. The prince was very excited and said:

"Printing this way is much faster than hand copying. This is something that will benefit the people of Dasheng, it's great."

Baili Ye smiled and said:

"Brother, Xiaohe and I have developed a method to use pinyin to teach children new words. Through pinyin, children can learn new words faster.

These new words can be printed in a dictionary. When children come across a word they don’t know, they can look it up in the dictionary, which makes it easier for them to learn to read.”

In order to better let Baili Ting experience the benefits of pinyin literacy, they conducted an experiment.

Several people found two groups of people to conduct an experiment. During the experiment, the prince also participated in it and truly felt the benefits of learning to read through pinyin.

There were huge differences between the two groups in the number of new words they knew and their individual abilities to recognize words.

After feeling it, the prince said happily:

"Sister-in-law, your idea is great. Using pinyin to teach people to read is indeed a good method that can help more people learn to read.

I will report this matter to my father when I enter the palace tomorrow, and I will start working on it as soon as possible."

Qing He smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, big brother. Aye and I have other things to do, so we'll leave first."

The prince smiled and said, "You guys go and do your work. I will report to my father and come back to you if I need anything."

After Qing He and Bai Li Ye left the Prince's Mansion, they went to the teahouse. The decoration of the teahouse has been basically completed, and the craftsmen are doing the final finishing work.

Two newly hired storytellers, Lin Zhongzheng and Li Shuhua, were already waiting in the teahouse. Qinghe handed the half-finished manuscript to them, who were amazed after reading it.

Lin Zhongzheng took the manuscript, flipped through it carefully, and exclaimed:

"The plot of the book, Prince and Princess, is full of twists and turns, magnificent, and the fighting between the knights is exciting and full of wonderful adventures. It is so gripping.

My Lord, my Princess, how will the next plot develop? When will you give me the rest of the manuscript?

I really can't help but want to know the rest of the story. I wonder which master wrote this story, what a talent!"

Qing He smiled and said, "This is the first half. You can just spend an hour in the teahouse every day, and I will send the rest to you in a few days."

Lin Zhongzheng said happily:

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess. I will definitely live up to your expectations and tell this story brilliantly."

At this time, Li Shuhua also came over with the manuscript and said with emotion:

"Your Highness, Princess, this Journey to the West is so interesting. The monsters and demons in it and the hardships experienced by the four masters and apprentices on their journey to obtain the scriptures are written very vividly. I think this story will definitely attract the audience."

Qinghe thought that this novel was a classic work suitable for all ages in modern times and loved by everyone, so it was certain that it would be popular.

She smiled and said:

"That's good. The prince and I also think these two stories are very attractive. From now on, our teahouse's storytelling will depend on you two.

The prince and I hope to use these two manuscripts to attract more listeners and make everyone happy in the teahouse."

After hearing this, the two were even more surprised. They didn't expect that the manuscript was actually completed by Qinghe and Baili Ye.

They felt a spontaneous admiration for Qinghe and Baili Ye.

Lin Zhongzheng exclaimed: "Your Highness, Princess, you are so amazing! I didn't expect you to write such a beautiful manuscript. You are so talented! Princess is worthy of being the most talented woman in Dasheng, and Your Highness is worthy of being the God of War in Dasheng."

Li Shuhua also echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty and Princess, your talents are truly admirable. We will definitely teach the book well and live up to your expectations."

After listening to what the two said, Qinghe and Baili Ye realized that they could not say that they were just movers of the manuscripts, so they silently took the credit for the two authors.

They saw that the two storytellers really liked the manuscript and were full of expectations for their storytelling.
