Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

After Lingyan finished explaining her various ideas about the newspaper, the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

The expressions of the five people, which were originally thoughtful or expectant, were instantly replaced by shock and admiration.

Their gazes all focused on Ling Yan, as if time itself had stood still for this moment.

The Ninth Princess stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

His slightly open mouth seemed to want to say something, but the sudden shock silenced his words.

The Eighth Princess leaned forward slightly, as if this would allow her to see Lingyan more clearly.

The light in his eyes reflected both amazement at the novel idea and sincere admiration for Ling Yan.

Jiang Muxue clenched her fists tightly, her expression a mixture of excitement and agitation.

She marveled inwardly, never imagining such a wonderful idea could come from this exceptionally intelligent woman before her.

Xie Zhiyi tilted her head back slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil in her heart.

Her gaze never left Lingyan, as if she were looking up to some deity.

Only the Seventh Princess appeared calm, but that was only an appearance.

She sat there quietly, her eyes revealing a deep sense of reverence.

My heart was in turmoil, utterly shocked.

After Lingyan finished speaking, she picked up her tea to moisten her throat, then looked up and saw the intense reactions of the others.

He couldn't help but chuckle and say, "You don't need to react so strongly, do you?"

The Eighth Princess nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you are so...so amazing!"

In the end, all she could say was that she was amazing.

At this moment, the Seventh Princess slowly came back to her senses. Her eyes still held the shock from before, but now they were filled with worry.

She turned her head slightly, looked at Lingyan, and said with concern, "But according to what you said, if this newspaper is to be popularized, it will need a large amount of paper. But paper is expensive now and the cost of making paper is too high. It is really not cost-effective. Not to mention the cost of paper, the cost of finding enough raw materials and hiring workers for production is not to be underestimated."

She frowned slightly and continued, "And then there's the matter of printing. The current printing technology in the court is progressing far too slowly. Every single character needs to be meticulously carved and then printed one by one onto the paper, which consumes a great deal of time and energy. The production of a newspaper, from typesetting to printing, may take several days or even longer. If newspapers are to be distributed to the Great Zhao and even the entire world, wouldn't that be far too slow? Moreover, how much manpower and resources will be wasted in this process? There's also the recruitment of workers, the purchase of equipment, the transportation of paper and finished newspapers. Each step requires a large investment of resources. Can we afford it?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan's eyes shone with admiration.

She smiled at the Seventh Princess and said with satisfaction, "Seventh Princess, you are amazing. You have considered so many issues in such a short time and have seen through the difficulties in popularizing newspapers. It is clear that you have thought deeply about this matter."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Princess smiled modestly and said, "I'm not that great, sister-in-law is the most capable. Seeing how confident you are, do you already have a plan in mind?"

Her eyes were full of expectation as she stared intently at Lingyan, hoping to get a solution to the problem from her.

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Princess, the Ninth Princess, Xie Zhiyi, and Jiang Muxue all turned their gazes toward Ling Yan, their eyes filled with curiosity and longing.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the group, Lingyan slowly said, "I have a way to solve the problems of expensive paper and slow printing. That is a more cost-effective papermaking technique and movable type printing. Let's talk about papermaking first. Nowadays, paper is expensive because of the scarcity of raw materials and the complexity of the production process. However, if we adopt a new papermaking technique, we can greatly reduce the cost."

“We can look for a wider range of raw materials, such as some waste plant fibers and old clothes. After special processing, they can all be turned into raw materials for papermaking. In this way, we not only solve the problem of raw materials, but also realize the reuse of resources.”

"In terms of manufacturing process, the new papermaking technology is more efficient. Traditional papermaking requires a lot of time and manpower, while the new method can simplify the process and improve production efficiency. Through specific formulas and processes, it is possible to produce high-quality and inexpensive paper. In this way, the large amount of paper needed for newspapers is no longer a problem."

"Let's talk about movable type printing again. With current printing technology, each book or newspaper needs to have its printing plate recarved, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Movable type printing is completely different. It makes individual type molds, typesets them as needed, and can disassemble them after printing for reuse. This greatly saves time and costs."

“When making type molds, hard materials such as wood and metal can be used. Each character is carved clearly and neatly, and then they are classified and stored. When printing is needed, typesetting workers can quickly select the required type molds and arrange them on the printing plate. After printing is completed, the type molds can be easily disassembled for the next use.”

"With papermaking and movable type printing, the production cost of newspapers will be greatly reduced, and the printing speed will be greatly increased. We can then mass-produce newspapers and spread them to Da Zhao and even the whole world. The price of the newspaper will be five coins. We will start from the capital and then gradually expand to the whole of Da Zhao, then to the northern deserts, the southern border, and the northern Li. At that time, Dongling, Xichu, and Xuanyue will definitely follow suit. The newspapers will cover the whole world. What do you think, Xiao Ba? Do you like this kind of business?"

Lingyan's words were like a raging fire, instantly igniting the passion in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, a gentle breeze was blowing outside the window, and sunlight streamed into the room through the carved window frames, bathing the entire room in a warm golden glow.

The Eighth Princess's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Her heart was pounding, and she could almost hear her blood surging through her veins.

The branches outside the window swayed gently in the breeze, their leaves rustling as if cheering for this grand plan.

With papermaking and movable type printing, the production cost of newspapers will be greatly reduced, and the printing speed will be greatly increased.

This prospect made the Eighth Princess feel as if a whole new world was unfolding before her eyes.

She imagined countless newspapers falling like snowflakes, spreading knowledge and information to every corner.

The newspaper was priced at five cents, a price that made this emerging medium accessible to a wider range of people.

It starts in the capital, gradually expands to the whole of Dazhao, and then extends to the whole world.

This grand plan deeply impressed the Eighth Princess.

At this moment, the flowers in the yard bloomed exceptionally brightly in the sunlight.

The colorful petals were as vibrant and beautiful as the dream in the heart of the Eighth Princess.

She clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with determination.

Then the Eighth Princess took a deep breath, her eyes burning with intense heat.

She looked out the window at the vibrant scene outside, as if she could see a picture of her future endeavors: "I love it! Of course I love it! Sister-in-law, let's get started!"

Her voice was clear and powerful, full of determination.

She seemed to see herself standing at the forefront of this great cause, striving for the well-being of the people of Daishowa.

My heart is filled with longing and anticipation for the future.

I can't wait to throw myself into this challenging and opportunity-filled endeavor.
