The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Gu Yin coughed for a long time and finally calmed down. She asked seriously again, "Are you sure that you are not printing a book, but copying it?"

"Printing books?" Shi Yuheng frowned.

Shi Yuheng's puzzled expression didn't seem fake, so she really had forgotten about movable type printing?

Oh my God, how could she forget such an important thing.

Gu Yin remembered that she had originally planned to start working on movable type printing after arranging the papermaking matters, but she unexpectedly forgot about it!

"Have you found someone to help copy the book?" Gu Yin asked.

Shi Yuheng replied, "No, I originally planned to arrange it in the afternoon."

But judging from Gu Yin's reaction, it seems that this may not be necessary.

As expected, Gu Yin said directly, "If that's the case, then don't look for it for now!"

Shi Yuheng was not surprised and just waited quietly for Gu Yin's next words.

Gu Yin lowered his head and thought for a while. Movable type printing was a subversive technology for this dynasty. Once it was released, it would definitely change history.

But precisely because of this, if she used it to do business, she would definitely be targeted by others, and even her life would be in danger.

Thinking of Shi Yuheng's father being the Minister of Industry, he weighed it and said, "There is a technology that can print book contents in batches, but it requires a large number of professional manpower to realize this technology."

"I think it would be more appropriate to leave this matter to the court. What do you think?"

Shi Yuheng looked at Gu Yin blankly, "Batch printing? What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. If this technology is developed, then printing hundreds of books a day won't be a problem, not to mention the sheer volume." Gu Yin explained simply.

But Shi Yuheng stood up suddenly after hearing this, "What did you say? Hundreds of books a day?"

Gu Yin nodded affirmatively, "Yes, if we have enough manpower, we can print more."

Yes, manpower, or what Gu Yin said was to increase the manpower. Although the cost is high, it is not impossible to achieve.

Shi Yuheng sat down slowly. "How many people are needed for the technology you mentioned?"

This really stumped Gu Yin. She couldn't help scratching her head, "I'm not sure about this. It should take dozens of people..."

Shi Yuheng's worry, which had just been put at ease, was lifted again. Dozens?

Can dozens of people produce hundreds of books in a day?

"Are you serious?" Shi Yuheng vaguely realized the importance of the technology that Gu Yin mentioned, and asked seriously.

"Why would I frame you?" Gu Yin directly stated her purpose, "Can you send a letter to your father and ask him to send someone to discuss this?"

In fact, Gu Yin felt that it was not impossible to ask his father to come directly. The movable type printing technology was worth his trip, but what if his father didn’t believe it or didn’t take it seriously?

But then again, if the court doesn't take it seriously, can she consider going it alone? Although the risk is high, the benefits are great!

It was as if there were two villains fighting in Gu Yin's heart. One said that people die for money and birds die for food, and the other said that money is something outside of the body, and it is not worth it if you don't bring it with you when you are born and can't take it with you when you die.

"Okay, but Miss Gu, could you please write a letter and send it together so that he knows what's going on?" Shi Yuheng still seemed skeptical when he spoke to Gu Yin.

If there really was such a heaven-defying technique, how could she speak of it so casually?

Gu Yin nodded, "Then wait a moment, I'll write it now!"

So Gu Yin found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and gave a brief introduction to movable type printing. After that, she put down the brush, waited for the ink to dry, folded the letter paper and handed it to Shi Yuheng, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Shi Yuheng took it, wrote another one, put it in the envelope together with Gu Yin's, and asked his entourage to take it to the post station and send it back to the capital.

Three days later, several horse-drawn carriages arrived at the gate of Ning County.

A young man lifted the curtain of the carriage, his narrow eyes full of interest, "We're here!"

"Your Majesty, is this Ning County?" asked a serious middle-aged man next to the young man.

"Hush! I told you not to call him the emperor outside. This is an imperial decree!"

"Yes...Yin, Master Yin..." The middle-aged man wiped his sweat.

The people who came were none other than the current emperor Jun Xiao and the current Minister of Works Shi Yunlong!

After entering the city gate, Jun Xiao went straight to the pedestrian street to stroll around, just like last time.

This was Shi Yunlong’s first time in Ning County. From the moment he entered the city gate, he felt that two eyes were not enough.

Such clean and tidy streets, such orderly order, and you tell him that this is just a small county town?

Of course he knew about the various new inventions introduced from Ning County, but he thought that was all.

Passing by the milk tea shop, Shi Yunlong saw a long line in front of the door. They didn't look like they were there to watch the fun. He couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?"

Jun Xiao looked like an experienced person and said with a smile, "Milk tea shop."

Seeing that Shi Yunlong still looked puzzled, Jun Xiao waved his hand and said, "Let's go and try it and you'll know."

After saying that, he walked to the front as if he was familiar with the place, entered the store, found a seat and sat down.

Before long, two bamboo cups appeared on the table.

"Master, they said this is the latest model of lemon tea. You can try it. If you don't like it, I can buy something else." Xiao Banzi introduced respectfully.

"Okay, let's try it!" Jun Xiao took a sip, it was slightly sour with a little bit of sweetness, cool and refreshing, "Not bad, I feel a lot more refreshed after drinking it."

Shi Yunlong also took a sip, savored it for a while, and then took another sip. It was finished in a short while.

That’s all?

Shi Yunlong felt a little unsatisfied and did not order another cup.

The group continued to stroll around, and Jun Xiao said with some emotion, "Ning County is developing very fast. It wasn't so prosperous the last time I came here."

"Little Board, look at that pearl shop over there, is it not there last time? And those small shops selling all kinds of food, aren't there so many last time?"

Xiao Banzi smiled and said, "I have a really good memory. I really didn't see these stores last time."

After walking for a while, Shi Yunlong suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jun Xiao asked puzzledly.

Shi Yunlong's serious face was somewhat embarrassed, but the churning in his stomach was so fierce that he could not delay, so he could only whisper, "Minister, I will find a place to relieve myself first."

Jun Xiao understood what he meant and said to Xiao Banzi, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you take Mr. Shi away?"

Just when Shi Yunlong was about to take his servants to find a place, Xiao Banzi was already leading the way.

Shi Yunlong had to catch up with Xiao Banzi and asked in a low voice, "Do you really know what I want to do?"

Make no mistake, he might not be able to hold it in any longer.

"Mr. Shi, don't you want to go to the bathroom? You can do it here." Xiao Banzi pointed at the men's public restroom and said with a smile.

After half a cup of tea, Shi Yunlong walked out with a relaxed look on his face, and said with emotion, "The people of Ning County are so blessed that even a place like this is managed so cleanly."

After Shi Yunlong followed Jun Xiao for a stroll and stayed at the Ning County Inn, when he saw the various ingenious designs in the inn, he couldn't wait to meet the legendary county lord!
