Tang Shiyue stepped back: "Why should I tell you? We are not friends, huh!"
Yan Dong: "..."
He smiled helplessly: "You can turn your face faster than you can turn the pages of a book."
"Of course we will fall out if the talks fall apart." Tang Shiyue said: "Originally, I wanted to wait for the cashmere to arrive before giving you a few more sets. Now that the talks have fallen apart, let's forget it."
She opened the storybook spread out on the table and continued reading.
Yan Dong: "..."
He was both funny and speechless.
Although this little lady is young, she is really sharp-tongued. You can't argue with her, and you really can't get angry.
Just as he was about to say a few jokes, he interrupted when he saw Xia Yuhui hurried in from outside: "My boss! My boss!"
Tang Shiyue said through the window: "Here!"
Xia Yuhui came in and looked around: "Are Sheng Xiaolang and Chen'er here?"
"Not here."
Xia Yuhui frowned: "Do you know where they went?"
"I don't know." Tang Shiyue was very surprised: "Isn't Achen studying there?"
Xia Yuhui became angry when he mentioned this, "Since Wenqu left, this Chen'er has been lazy every day. Sheng Xiaolang was still friendly with him, but Gu Kong'er came to ask him out and didn't know where he went to play. The day before yesterday, Wenqu
I haven’t even finished the assigned homework yet…”
He helplessly said to Yandong: "You should also take care of your nephew..."
Before Yan Dong could speak, Tang Shiyue raised his hand: "Wait a minute!"
She really didn't expect Xia Yuhui to have the attributes of a bear parent, and looked at him speechlessly: "What are you thinking? What does this have to do with Sheng Qi? When Tang Junchen left, was it Sheng Qi who kidnapped him? Sheng Qi
When I came to call, my brother, Ah Yang, Ah
Why don't you go to Yao? This matter is clearly because Tang Junchen has no self-control and wants to have fun by himself. What does it mean to blame it on outsiders? The cicadas chirp in the summer and the wind and snow in the winter are just external causes. Sheng Qi's invitation,
Is there any essential difference?"
Xia Yuhui was speechless.
Yan Dong watched with great interest.
It was miserable when she scolded her, but when her sharp words were directed at others, it was so enjoyable to listen to!
Xia Yuhui sat down helplessly: "Wen Qu asked me to control them before he left..."
Tang Shiyue said: "You are a teacher, not a wet nurse! You have to tell a three-year-old child what is right and what is wrong, and he is already sixteen! Doesn't he understand? He knows he can't do it but he does it. You don't care about him.
What to do?"
Xia Yuhui sighed: "Okay, okay."
Tang Shiyue continued to look down at the storybook. Xia Yuhui slumped for a long time and asked casually: "What book are you reading?"
Tang Shiyue glanced at him, and Xia Yuhui was stunned: "I thought you were doing some learning."
"Am I that material?" Tang Shiyue glanced at him: "I'm just looking at it for fun, do you want to read it? I still have many books." She stood up and opened the curtain on the bookshelf: "Mr. Meng
Want to see it?"
"No," Yan Dong smiled and shook his head: "I don't think much of it."
Xia Yuhui was surprised. He walked over and took a look: "You can actually find so many story books? It's really not easy."
"Mr. Xu gave it to me," Tang Shiyue said, "Isn't it easy? Are there very few story books in the world? No wonder I couldn't find a few story books at the bookstores in town."
"Does that need to be said?" Xia Yuhui said: "Books are too expensive, so there are of course few talking books in the world. I wonder why I bought so many. These cost at least two hundred taels of silver!"
He sighed with some emotion: "If the price of books can be lowered, maybe poor children can also study."
Tang Shiyue said casually: "This is not easy."
"Oh?"
Tang Shiyue said casually: "Why should I tell you?"
Xia Yuhui thought she was bragging, and considering that she was the boss, he didn't ask any questions and left with his hands behind his back.
Yan Dong smiled and asked her: "Are you just talking nonsense?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, I can do what I say." Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "What if I really have a way to reduce the cost of books in the world by half, or even more than half?"
Yan Dong glanced at her and smiled: "If you can really do it, I...I can agree to your request, but it's not too much."
A request? Tang Shiyue was stunned.
In fact, her original intention was to "call me daddy if I win." It was just a joke. She didn't expect him to say that.
She looked at Yan Dong carefully.
Although I don’t know who he is specifically, I can make a good guess. His “one request” should be quite valuable.
So he said: "Okay, deal."
She high-fived him and then said, "Wait a minute."
She dug out two seals, one was "Xianlu Pearl" carved by Huo Qijing for her, and the other was "Tang Shiyue Seal" carved by someone later. Then she took a piece of paper and stamped it.
Yan Dong was puzzled, and Tang Shiyue said: "I need to stamp these two seals on this piece of paper. I can stamp them one by one. There is no need to carve a whole piece. In fact, the same is true for books. One page of a book, and
You don’t need to carve a whole side, you just need to make one for each word
small squares, and then arrange these small squares one by one on each page of the book. In this way, the small squares for each word can be reused many times, and there is no need to engrave them every time. This saves a lot of money, a lot
Time, a lot of materials?”
Yes, it’s movable type printing.
Historically speaking, movable type printing was only invented in the Song Dynasty. Now, people are asking her to come out in a hurry.
In fact, not only movable type printing, but also finding ways to improve papermaking can also reduce the cost of books.
Yan Dong was obviously shocked.
He thought about what she said carefully, and then said: "Yes! You are right! You are really smart!"
He strode out and waved casually, and his entourage immediately came over. He gave some quick instructions and the entourage responded.
Yan Dong turned back and looked at her a few times, "How did you think of it?"
Tang Shiyue had always thought that Yan Dong was gentle and tolerant, but at that moment, she really felt like she had been seen through.
But Queen Tang didn't give in. She smiled heartlessly and said: "You will never imagine how many good ideas a lazy person will come up with just to be lazy." She blinked with a smile.
Yan Dong slowly withdrew his gaze.
If she explained a lot, he might really be suspicious, but when she said it casually, he felt that he was overthinking.
Besides, this method was unheard of, so he actually had nothing to doubt. If she didn't think of it, who could it be?
So Yan Dong smiled and said: "So, what request do you want to make?"
Tang Shiyue said in her heart that you would not even agree to an advertisement to the emperor, but you still have the nerve to ask! On the surface, she said calmly: "Actually, I don't have anything I want for the time being."
Yan Dong frowned slightly: "Then do you want to make a request for your friend?"
When he mentioned it, her heart suddenly moved: "By the way, you know who A Jing is, right?"
Yan Dong nodded, and Tang Shiyue said, "Do you know any border guards who you can recommend?"
Yan Dong frowned slightly. Then he asked her as if he had heard about it for the first time: "He wants to join the army? Then why doesn't he go to Northwest Pass?"
Given this rare opportunity, Tang Shiyue immediately told Duke Rong's bad deeds with added embarrassment.
Yan Dong frowned for a long time: "So you gave up the Northwest Pass just for this?" (To be continued)
