In fact, everyone wants to do something like monopoly, but not much can be done. At least in the area of ​​color printing, Chu Qing will not let others monopolize it.

Zhuo Yao didn't understand: "Not selling?"

At this time, Gan Lai came in with a craftsman: "Sister, the sample book is out."

The craftsman respectfully presented a stack of books, the top one being "On the Road and Sot".

Chu Qing printed all the travel notes, reading experiences, random poems that Xiaobao had written over the years, etc. into books, and even illustrated some of them himself.

Of course, Chu Qing's paintings are limited to stick figures and traditional freehand comics, but they are enough to make the book lively and interesting.

More drawings were invited to be completed by painters as required.

This is the compensation Chu Qing wants to give Xiaobao.

For the sake of his mother and the safety of the entire Chu family, this child traveled to both the island and Daxuan without a single day of leisure. Naturally, he did not participate in the spring exam, even though he was qualified to participate.

Others took the imperial examination for the purpose of becoming an official, but Xiaobao did not do so. However, he also wanted to have a chance to compete with the students from all over the world, but he did not achieve his wish.

It is impossible for him to participate in the future, because if he does not do well in the exam, his mother will be embarrassed. This is very likely. The ranking in the autumn exam will speak volumes.

But if you do well in the exam, you have to become an official. This will bring more trouble to your mother and put the Chu family in danger, because the second generation of the Chu family is too bright and will be even more jealous of the emperor.

Of course, you can also resign, but that will also make the emperor unhappy, because it is a slap in the emperor's face.

Chu Qing wanted to raise her child well, but inadvertently deprived Xiaobao of the right to take the exam, and felt very guilty.

She wanted to tell her son, if you really want to take the exam, then take the exam. Proving oneself is very important when living in this world. No matter what the pressure is, my mother will bear it, but it doesn't work.

She still doesn't know how to achieve the "peace" that Jie Chi mentioned, and she doesn't know when she can return to her own world, and how she will do it.

Most importantly, she regretted not asking Jie Chi how to find him, so now she was very anxious because of her uncertain future, but she didn't even have anyone to consult with.

Therefore, she wanted to show Xiaobao's knowledge to the world and let them know that besides the students in the world, there is also an "uncrowned king".

This "uncrowned king" is well-informed, has rich experience, and has solid literary skills. He can write easy-to-understand humanities and natural landscapes around the world.

He can analyze a place's products, economy and other characteristics from the perspective of food, folk customs, and geographical location; he can praise the world's scenery in the most beautiful language; his unique insights into some areas can even provide local officials with

Drawn from.

Chu Qing held the sample book and flipped through it page by page. The craftsman thought that Mr. Yong'an was picking out mistakes word for word and sentence by sentence, and he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to speak out.

Little did they know that Chu Qing was “reading” almost with a worshipful attitude: “…I gave alms and wandered for a long time, entering the deep forest, returning to the creek, and seeing the secluded springs and strange rocks, all the way;

When they arrive, they sit down with grass draped over them, pouring over the pot and get drunk; when they are drunk, they lie down on each other's pillows, and when they lie down, they dream.

Tsk tsk, did you see it, my son wrote it! My son, my son wrote it!"

I changed another book and flipped through it, still saying: "Gee, geography, history, ethnicity, religion, folk custom... everything is covered! This is written by a child!"

My son is not yet fifteen years old! Just ask Daxuan which child can be as good as my son!"

The craftsman secretly wiped his sweat - just be happy, it scares me!

Chu Qing suddenly turned to the craftsmen: "You go back and divide the people into groups. Those who make ink, those who mix colors, those who draw, those who make woodblocks, those who print, and those who bind, separate them all, and train the craftsmen individually. Do you understand?"

In the era of pure manual work, work efficiency must be improved.

The craftsman immediately accepted the order: "I understand! Don't worry, sir, I will execute it as soon as I get back! It's just that we don't have enough manpower..."

Chu Qing: "Then recruit people and train them to work!"

The craftsman looked embarrassed: "Master, if there are too many people, we are afraid that our skills will be leaked."

Chu Qing: "I'm not afraid of leaking, I can leak it as I please, but one thing is, it doesn't matter if they imitate it. They can't do it under the banner of the government. Once discovered, report it immediately!"

Although the craftsman agreed "yes", he hesitated to speak.

Chu Qing: "Huh? What's the problem?"

Craftsman: "Sir, the young people have come all the way to seek refuge with you. If this little bit of their livelihood is taken away, won't they be unable to afford food again?"

"Oh, that's it," Chu Qing comforted, "You can rest assured that your wages will not be lost. I promise, sir, no one can snatch away the endless work and wages you can earn."

Your business!"

The craftsman was doubtful, but did not dare to show it, so he had no choice but to respond: "Yes, thank you, Mr. Gong."

Gan Lai got angry when he saw his hesitant expression: "Don't worry, didn't you see that the young master has so many books? There will be more in the future. The books of the young master will only be given to you for printing, not to others."

of!

As soon as the young master's book comes out, it will be... it will be smooth, smooth... what is it, sister?"

Chu Qing smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "A best-selling book! Don't worry, I will write a book later, too, and it will be enough for you to print!"

The craftsman knocked his head to the ground: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

See, the respect for the father-in-law is far less than the respect for wages. He did not kowtow to the father-in-law.

As for Chu Qing's printing in Yong'an Mansion, a place that had been looted by the "Eight Winds", no one except the Chu family was optimistic about it.

Why?

Because food is the foundation of people's livelihood. If you don't grow food, how can you feed the people? If you engage in printing, you are sick!

The Chu family is optimistic because Mi Zhi believes in Chu Qing; the others who are not optimistic about this matter refer to officials at all levels of Yong'an Mansion because they believe that Chu Qing is "not doing his job properly."

The prefect Qi Guiran specially invited Chu Qing to attend a meeting in the government office, and gently reminded Chu Qing that he should pay attention to agriculture.

Chu Qing looked at him with a strange expression: "Prefect Qi, you are the leader of a government, this is what you should be responsible for;

Is it possible that you are still waiting for me to persuade Nongsang? What else do you need to do?

I have to remind you that you have to hurry up. The taxes in the fief are my income. How bad are you? Think about the consequences!"

Consequences? Haha, Duke Yong'an will not transfer him out of Yong'an Mansion. Instead, he will report to the court to demote him so that he cannot even keep his current income. Let's see what he does to support his family!

Chu Qing also said: "Prefect Qi, if you need anything, you should report it to the court in time. Don't wait for me to ask for it for you. I will only ask you for money and food on time. Do you understand?"

Qi Guiran was sweating all over his forehead, he was so angry!

Responsibilities, rights, and benefits require officials at all levels to clearly distinguish them.
