NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31
Cao Mi finished saying everything he wanted to say, and was not in a hurry to let these women make a decision now.
She asked everyone to go back and think about it and give her an answer tomorrow.
Everyone’s faces were different, but they were relieved to hear such an arrangement, and they retired after salute.
Cao Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and just after resting for a while, the housekeeper came over.
The butler of the palace, who is over fifty years old, is in good health, and has not been affected by the journey of the past two months or more, and he is still in good spirits.
After he entered the door, he told Cao Mi, “Princess, a military merchant came to the front yard. He said that he was entrusted by someone and brought two people to the palace to find people.”
“Rong Shang? Looking for someone?” Cao Mi grabbed the key words in the steward’s words and asked, “Did they say who they were looking for?”
“No. They don’t know the details, and they can’t tell who they are looking for.” The housekeeper replied, “However, the old slave guessed that they should find the Zhang family.”
“Miss Zhang?” Cao Mi was a little surprised.
But she soon figured it out.
Mrs. Zhang was a widow who was brought back to the palace by Qi You before. She had suspected her relationship with Qi You, but Cao Mi went to see her little daughter with her own eyes and found that the girl did not look like someone from the Sheng Dynasty. Guess the truth of the matter.
After she had settled her suspicions with the Zhang family, she found two quiet and honest maids to serve in her courtyard, and occasionally visited her to confirm that the Zhang family and her daughter were not mistreated again. But later Cao Mi encountered a lot of things, and just after the settlement of the palace was relocated, she hadn’t seen Zhang for a while.
If the Rong people who were recruited this time really came for Zhang’s mother and daughter, then I’m afraid it has something to do with the girl’s father.
After thinking about the relationship, Cao Mi nodded.
She replied, “Please also ask the housekeeper to go back to the front yard first and treat them well. I’ll change my clothes and go there.”
The housekeeper knew that she had an idea, nodded and left.
While Cao Mi was preparing to change clothes, he asked Dong Li to invite Zhang’s mother and daughter over.
When Mr. Zhang came over, his face was a little dignified because he didn’t know what was going on. The girl in her arms looked around curiously, and even if Zhang Shi whispered a lesson, she could not stop her from exploring new places.
Cao Mi asked Mrs. Zhang to take a seat, and hugged the girl without seeing anything.
“Kid, do you remember me?” Cao Mi teased the girl.
She is very fond of this one-year-old little girl, especially the three boys in her family. Seeing the cute and well-behaved girls, she can’t wait to change with Zhang’s!
The little girl, Zhang Zigui, couldn’t stop laughing in Cao Mi’s arms.
After playing with her for a while, Cao Mi handed her over to Dong Li behind him and instructed Dong Li to take her to the yard.
Dongli often followed Cao Mi, and Zigui naturally saw her, so he didn’t resist, and Ren Dongli obediently took her out.
Mrs. Zhang knew that Cao Mi was looking for her, but she didn’t say anything.
After Zigui left, Cao Mi told her the matter and his guesses.
“I think it depends on what you want.” Cao Mi looked at her. “You mother and daughter can live in the palace. If you want to leave, the prince and I will not stop you.”
Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and replied, “Thank you, Princess Concubine. The women want to meet those people. I wonder if it’s convenient?”
“It’s natural.” Cao Mi thought for a while, “I’m going out to meet the guests soon, so you can hide in the side hall later, and when I confirm the identity of the people who come, you can watch their words and deeds, and make sure you want to Don’t let them go.”
Zhang Shi nodded.
After the two decided on the plan, they went directly to the front yard.
When Cao Mi came to the hall, he saw three Rong people sitting on the guest seats.
One of them was obviously the leader among them. He was in his thirties and forties, dressed luxuriously, but did not have the big belly that is common among middle-aged wealthy businessmen. He was obviously a person with excellent status and cultivation. The other two were dressed in shabby clothes and looked around anxiously.
During the conversation, Cao Mi learned. The middle-aged man is just a guide, and the real protagonists are the man and woman in shabby clothes.
The man among them bowed to Cao Mi.
He could speak Chinese, so he personally explained to Cao Mi what led them here.
It turned out that more than two months ago, a comrade-in-arms of Zhang’s husband came to Liaozhou one step earlier as the vanguard of Qi You’s army. This comrade-in-arms was also a member of the Rong tribe. He remembered the agreement with his friends. After arriving in Liaozhou, he found a way to send a letter to Zhang’s husband’s tribe.
Only then did Zhang’s husband’s younger brother know that his brother did not die on the battlefield, but became a prisoner. Later, he was rescued by Qi You and followed Qi You all the time.
Like the other surviving Rong captives, he thought of repaying the life-saving grace, and if he earned enough money, he would ask Qi You for grace and go back to the tribe.
But Zhang’s husband was obviously not so lucky, he died in a counter-insurgency.
In the letter to the family, he mentioned the existence of Zhang’s mother and daughter, hoping that if there is a chance, the younger brother can take Zhang’s back and raise the child to grow up.
After listening to Cao Mi, he tentatively asked: “You want to find someone, what can you rely on?”
The Rong man nodded and took out a domino.
He explained: “When every child of the Ale ethnic group is born, he will get a domino carved by his father. Among brothers, the lines of the domino can be combined. My brother said in a letter that his piece has been kept in the hands of his wife. If my sister-in-law and niece are really in the palace, the princess can ask her to identify them.”
Cao Mi nodded and motioned to the maid beside him to send the dominoes to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was in the wing next to her, and she always carried her husband’s belongings with her. After a while, she entered the hall with two dominoes.
Cao Mi knew that she was going to follow the two Ale people.
Seeing that they had a lot to say to each other, Cao Mi simply sent someone to send them to another quiet room.
After Zhang Shi and the two left, Cao Mi focused his attention on the Rong merchant at the beginning.
The Sheng Dynasty prohibited the common people from trading with the northern Rong people.
But in the affairs of the world, as long as there are interests, there are profit-seekers who dare to defy the law and take risks.
Among them, the person with the highest achievement can even appear under the light of the sky aboveboard, washing the “criminal evidence” into glory.
Danba sitting in front of Cao Mi is such an existence.
From the words of Zhang’s uncle just now, Cao Mi knew that because it was difficult for the Rong people to enter Liaozhou, they had to ask Danba to find them successfully. Danba, who has always cared about benefits and losses, did not charge them any fees. He promised to **** them back and forth safely, just for an “admission ticket” to the Bei’an Palace.
Cao Mi calmly looked at the person in front of him, and took the initiative to say, “I wonder why Mr. Danba came this time?”
Danba smiled and said, “I can’t hide it from the princess.
“The villain has long heard that the youngest and promising prince of the Sheng Dynasty has come to Liaozhou, and he has always wanted to see the demeanor of the prince and the princess, but there is no way out. I happened to meet Brother Gusi this time, so I borrowed his convenience.
“Tang suddenly came to the door, and asked the princess to forgive me.”
As he said that, he was about to kneel down and apologize, but Cao Mi quickly stopped him.
Danba got up and did not return to his seat, but said: “Although the villain is not from the Sheng Dynasty, he also knows the rules of the Central Plains. This time, the villain brought gifts for the prince and the princess. The prince and princess are used to seeing glory. People, villains dare not show off. Gifts are not precious, but they are still novel, I hope the princess will not dislike it.”
Cao Mi had guessed earlier that a person like Bataan would definitely want to show his favor when he came to the palace.
After all, Qi You is the new owner of Liaozhou, and his wishes are the highest order of Liaozhou today.
Before Qi You left, he had expected this kind of thing, so he mentioned it to Cao Mi.
Danba has operated in Liaoning and Rong for many years, and has contacts with major families in Liaozhou. But he usually keeps a low profile, and the products he sells do not touch the bottom line of salt and iron. Due to various considerations, Qi You is not going to move Danba for the time being.
So he told Cao Mi that if Danba wanted to make a good gesture, he could accept his gift as much as possible to reassure this high-ranking merchant.
So Cao Mi nodded and said politely, “Mr. Bataan is very polite.”
Bataan shouted to the outside, and his attendant entered with a delicate golden box.
Bataan took the box and opened it directly in front of Cao Mi.
Even though he knew what Bataan said just now, he was definitely self-deprecating, and he was mentally prepared to see valuables, but when he saw the ruby, Cao Mi was still stunned for a moment.
The ruby lying on the black brocade is about the size of a pigeon’s egg. But what attracts Cao Mi the most is not itself, but its exotic design style.
After the initial surprise, Cao Mi quickly adjusted.
Several thoughts ran through her mind, and finally she asked: “Mr. Bataan… It’s not just business between the Rong family and the Sheng Dynasty, right?”
Bataan nodded and admitted, “The princess has a good eye, and it is clear that this thing is not something that can be found in these two places.”
He closed the box, put it on the table beside Cao Mi, and explained in his mouth: “No way, businessman, if you don’t run, you can’t survive. My caravan occasionally goes west, as far as Soo Mi. Luo and Kangle these countries. But…”
He paused and smiled again: “The Sheng Dynasty is the most prosperous and civilized country I have ever seen. Although I am a member of the Rong tribe, like every citizen of the Sheng Dynasty, I sincerely love this country.”
Cao Mi smiled perfunctorily.
I heard that the Yuan army also really fell in love with “Sanqiu Guizi, Shili Lotus”, and then sent troops south. As for the love in Bataan’s mouth, while Cao Mi was proud of the land of the Central Plains, he also vaguely raised his guard.
On the other side, Bataan added: “Unfortunately, it’s too late this time, and I didn’t meet the prince. The gift that the villain gave to the prince can only be handed over by the princess.”
Cao Mi naturally smiled and nodded, “Your heart will be known by the lord.”
Seeing this, Bataan smiled, “The gift that the villain gave to the prince can’t be handed over to the princess. It’s outside. Would the princess be interested in going over to see it together?”
Cao Mi said generously: “Okay.”
The two did not delay, and Bataan directly led Cao Mi out of the main hall to an open space in the courtyard.
Soon, a blood-red horse was led out by Bataan’s servants.
Cao Mi was really stunned!
This Bataan really deserves to be the number one businessman in Shengrong and Rong.
The horse was tall, with long and powerful limbs, and the whole body’s hair was as bright red as blood, without a trace of variegation. When being led by Bataan’s servants, it kept shaking its head and breathing, obviously not used to being restrained.
A real, living, prime-age, sweaty horse!
You must know that this treasure horse, which can only be produced on the vast grassland, appears in Liaozhou, and its value cannot be measured by money. Just as iron tools are the bottom line of business in Qi You’s heart, horses have always been the most important strategic material for the khans of the Rong tribe.
And this Bataan was able to lightly take out such a sweaty horse and give it to the Bei’an Palace as a gift.
Bataan had been observing Cao Mi’s expression, and when he saw her amazed appearance, he smiled with satisfaction.
He boasted: “This is a treasure given to the grassland by the gods, and it is a miracle that can only exist in the Rong tribe. The princess thinks that this gift of mine can still catch the prince’s eyes, right?”
Cao Mi nodded.
This sincerity can really be seen by the sun and the moon!
Cao Mi was even hesitant, even though Qi You had clearly said that anything sent by Bataan could be accepted. But when she faced such a big gift, she was still a little undecided.
But God didn’t give her a chance to hesitate.
After they watched the horses, Mrs. Zhang and his uncle of the Rong clan also finished talking. Bataan said goodbye directly, saying that he would come to pick up Mrs. Zhang in three days.
After they left, Cao Mi calmed down a little.
She looked at the thoughtful Mrs Zhang and asked, “Are you sure you want to leave with them?”
Zhang Shi nodded.
She said: “The princess doesn’t know anything. Gu Ge, the husband of the people, often mentions the Ale people to me when he gets along with me. I know that he wants to take our mother and daughter back.”
When she said this, she showed a slight smile, obviously recalling the good days.
But soon, she woke up again and talked about the real reason: “Also, Zigui can’t always stay in the Sheng Dynasty. Go back with them, at least I don’t need to keep the child in the yard all the time. Just like before the princess. As she said, she wanted to see the scenery outside.”
Cao Mi nodded.
Zigoku’s looks are indeed an issue. Except for characters like Bataan, the Rong people who appeared in the realm of the Sheng Dynasty were either enemies or not regarded as human beings.
She understood Zhang’s decision, and only asked: “The child is okay, you are the only Han girl, and when you come to the Ale tribe… Can they tolerate you?”
Mrs Zhang replied, “Yes.
“Gu Sidu made it clear to me. In fact, the Rong family is just a general term for the northern nationalities of the Sheng Dynasty. They are divided into many different tribes. The people of the Ale people are simple and enthusiastic, and they do not hate the Sheng Dynasty, nor do they Participate in the invasion of Sheng Dynasty.
“Back then, my husband was conscripted by the Khan of the steppe to serve as a soldier, and then he was captured. That conscription caused the loss of 70% of the youth of the Ale tribe, but after that, the Khan stopped looking down on them. one.
“The Ale people today are relatively poor and have moved to the Fengdun Hills in the north of Liaozhou. Together with some other tribes that are not warlike, life can be considered peaceful.”
“Well.” Cao Mi was relieved a little, but he couldn’t help but remind again: “Just like this, your life will be a little harder.”
“It’s okay.” Mrs. Zhang replied.
There was some joy on her face, and she seemed to have a glimpse of hope for the future: “For Zigui, everything is worth it.”
Cao Mi nodded and said no more.
After thinking for a while, she finally said: “Since you have made up your mind, I will not keep you anymore.
“However, it will be my birthday in two months. You must come back with Zigui to celebrate my birthday. I will explain to the merchant today, Bataan, and let him help take care of you, and then **** you back.”
Zhang’s family is not stupid, she knows that this is the retreat that Cao Mi gave her – in two months, if she can’t survive in the Ale tribe, she will have another chance to choose.
Tears welled up, she knelt down straight towards Cao Mi, but was speechless because she was choked up.
Cao Mi comforted her and finally calmed her down. Then Mr. Zhang retired, went back to find Zigui, and prepared to go back to his own courtyard to arrange follow-up matters.
After she left, Cao Mi came to the stable.
She was still thinking about the sweaty BMW that she didn’t see enough of just now!
After arriving at the stable, Cao Mi unexpectedly found that the housekeeper and Qi Liu were also there.
The two bowed to Cao Mi, Cao Mi looked at the treasure horse, suddenly guessed something, and asked with a little regret: “This is a generous gift from Bataan to the prince, do you want to send someone directly to the seal? Dedicated to the prince?”
The housekeeper shook his head and said, “Go back to the princess, no need. This horse will live in a few days.”
“Ah?” Hearing the housekeeper’s words, Cao Mi was so shocked that he almost forgot to breathe.
Qi Liu sneered beside him and explained to her: “The princess doesn’t know the tricks of those profiteers. This stallion is so strong, if it is good, how many high-quality foals can be bred to the prince!
“Bataan is a veteran. He always said that the horses of the Rong tribe could not survive in the realm of the Sheng Dynasty. This is the nature. But in fact, the horses he presented were all rigged. In addition to being unable to breed, they also There are hidden wounds, anyway, even if you eat and drink, you won’t survive for much time.”
As he said, he looked at the sweaty horses in the stable with regretful eyes, “Hey, it’s such a pity that such a **** horse, if the prince saw it, I don’t know how much I would like it.”
The housekeeper also sighed: “Fortunately, when the lord comes back, he shouldn’t be able to see it. I didn’t feel the extraordinaryness of this precious horse in person, and I wouldn’t be too sorry to think about it.”
During the conversation between the two, Cao Mi knew the truth.
She stepped forward in disbelief and tried to touch the sweaty BMW’s neck.
She could feel the warmth and subtle tremors in her palm, and it was full of vigorous vitality, which made her unable to believe Qi Liuhe’s butler’s words immediately.
She herself is a veterinary professional in modern times, and because of her personal interest, she has also minored in horse treatment. At this time, she really wanted to enter the stable and examine the horse carefully. But because of the presence of the housekeeper and Qi Liu, she did not dare to make such a strange move.
So, she could only observe carefully by touching it.
Such observations had little effect, and she only vaguely found some shadows on the horse’s belly and hind legs.
Cao Mi wanted to do something, so he made an excuse and said, “If that’s the case, why don’t I take it away. There seems to be a veterinarian among the refugees I took in before. I can send it to Rongguang Villa and ask him have a look.”
The housekeeper seemed to think her words were a little funny, but he explained patiently: “I don’t know what the princess is, but most of the veterinarians in the private sector treat livestock such as cows and pigs. It’s useless. The old slave knows that the princess feels a pity, but there is no need to charge God for the treason of the Rongshang.”
Cao Mi ignored his words and said, “Anyway, the lord won’t be able to come back to see it, so let me deal with this horse now. A dead horse is used as a living horse doctor, anyway, the worst is like this.”
Qi You is not here, and now she is the biggest in this mansion, and she can “act recklessly”.
Sure enough, the housekeeper and Qi Liu stopped talking, just nodded yes.
So, Cao Mi left his courtyard for less than two hours. When he returned, he brought back a **** BMW that was priceless.
Because of her insistence, BMW will be raised directly in her yard. The servants quickly got busy and prepared to use the fastest speed to build a temporary stable in the courtyard.
While everyone was busy, Cao Mi quickly checked the sweaty horse.
Sure enough, in the middle of its hind legs, under the crotch, Cao Mi found a wound.
The wound was not big, but it was obviously untreated, and some flesh and blood on the outside showed signs of decay.
This is probably the reason why this horse clearly looked brave, but just now did not even have the strength to break away from the servant.
While confirming the condition of the wound, Cao Mi pondered in his heart, “Well…it’s not that it can’t be cured…”
She silently recalled whether there were any medicines available in the space.
Cao Mi was diagnosed with a terminal illness after graduation. Before that, she spent a whole year in her senior year running back and forth between school and home, preparing her own farm and livestock farm.
Later, because she knew that she didn’t have much time, after returning from a trip, she wanted to distribute the things to the neighbors and hired employees who had been helping her, but before she could send them out, she traveled ahead of time.
Therefore, there are many seeds and some commonly used medicines for domesticated animals and poultry in the home of the carry-on space.
But horses are not common livestock after all.
Cao Mi took advantage of the fact that no one noticed, and took some fodder nearby. In fact, he secretly smuggled out a carrot from the space, wrapped it in it and fed it to the ill-treated **** foal.
After returning to the space at night, she plans to rummage through her library or the iPad, which is always charged at 56%, to see if she can find some healing knowledge about horses.
On the other side, the sweaty horse chewed the grass numbly, and suddenly tasted something different. Its eyes lit up, and it began to rub against Cao Mi incessantly to continue begging for it.
Cao Mi was afraid that it would gnaw his fingers as carrots, so he quickly pulled back his hand, then tentatively moved his hand away from its insensitive neck, and touched its ears a little bit up.
The ears and between the eyebrows are relatively sensitive parts of the horse. Generally, if you are not familiar with them, you should not try to touch them easily.
The sweaty and **** foal moved his ears uncomfortably and turned his head away.
But seeing that it had no intention of attacking, Cao Mi was already satisfied.
A night passed quickly.
Regarding the treatment of the sweaty BMW, Cao Mi found some eyebrows. External trauma and possible infection inside the body make things a little trickier.
Early in the morning, when Cao Mi went to visit it, he put some veterinary antibiotics and healing potions that he had prepared in the space last night into the food bar while no one was paying attention.
But these are obviously not enough, after all, the veterinary medicines she stores are all ordinary varieties. In order to cure this sweaty horse, Cao Mide tried to find alternatives to some of the medicines mentioned in the textbooks in this world.
Keeping this matter in mind, Cao Mi touched the sweaty horse’s neck and returned to the house.
After breakfast, Dongli came over to report to her the progress of another matter – those women had already made their own choices yesterday.
This time, there were a total of 18 women sent by various families, and 14 of them were willing to go to the manor to become a female master.
This ratio was much higher than Cao Mi had estimated. In addition to her surprise, she was also a little surprised: “So many?”
She was originally just sighing, but she didn’t expect Dongli to give a reason.
“Do you still remember the woman in white clothes yesterday?” Dong Li reminded.
Cao Mi still had some impressions of the woman who spoke first. Hearing this, he said, “Well. What happened to her?”
“Her name is Zhou Xue, and she was originally a prostitute in Fengyuelou in the city. She is both talented in playing piano and chess.” After briefly introducing Zhou Xue’s identity, Dongli added: “I heard from the maids in their courtyard that those After the woman went back yesterday, she had a lot of arguments. Most people are greedy for being free after three years, but because they don’t know what will happen when they go to the villa, they have been hesitating. “
Cao Mi nodded.
She understood the thoughts of these women. The fear of the unknown is sometimes difficult to overcome. And staying in the mansion to be a slave is their original destination and a future they can foresee.
Dong Li added: “At that time, it was this Zhou Xue who stood up and tried his best to persuade others to choose the second path. She even promised that when she arrived at the villa, if anything happened, she would be willing to stand in front of everyone.”
Cao Mi nodded with admiration: “Zhou Xue, right? I wrote it down.”
After a pause, she said again: “In this way, for the few people who stay in the mansion, you let them move to the servant’s side, and arrange some light work for them casually.
“As for those who are willing to go to the villa, let them live in the courtyard. You will take the wooden box in my room and give them the pages in it, and ask them to take turns to copy, and everyone has to put the paper on the paper. The content is carefully copied three times.”
Dong Li nodded: “Yes.”
“Besides…” Cao Mi thought of something, and ordered, “You help me go to the craftsmen and ask if anyone has any research on ink and engraving, and let him come to see me sometime after lunch. If not… just find someone who is more leisurely.”
As usual, Cao Mi would definitely call Liu Ge over by name.
But after Liu Ge came back from Rongguang Villa, she immediately arrested a strong man and sent him to the lime mine to help her study cement.
Anyway, Cao Mi gave the recipe, and even said the approximate ratio, and the rest is to study how to bake it.
The cement project is a “money coming” business that she has high hopes for. Before Liu Ge helps her get it out, she will not disturb this capable man easily.
Therefore, after lunch, Cao Mi saw a rare young man among these craftsmen.
The young man, who has not yet grown a beard, claimed to be Zhang Mao. He was proficient in woodcutting. On weekdays, if the workshop needed any small wooden parts, or to carve a seal, he would arrange for him to do it. But now Liu Ge was dealing with ore clay, so he didn’t take him with him.
Cao Mi is not the kind of master who judges people based on age. She had a few conversations with Zhang Mao, and after understanding his experience, she began to express her appeal.
“You said, is it possible to make an ink similar to ink pad?” Cao Mi tried to express it in words Zhang Mao could understand: “It can be like ink pad, with strong adhesion and coloring, while retaining the characteristics of ink. .”
Zhang Mao was a little dizzy.
The first time he was summoned by the master, it was when he wanted to behave well. He never thought that Cao Mi’s words would make him confused, so he was a little anxious for a while.
“Uh… uh… How can ink be the same as ink pad?” Zhang Mao stammered and asked.
“Yes, of course ordinary water-soluble ink will not work.” Cao Mi smiled at him reassuringly, indicating that he should not be nervous, “I read it in a Mohist classic, if the solvent for dissolving toner… er, I mean dissolving The water of the toner, replaced by oil, may work wonders.”
“Oil?” Zhang Mao repeated somewhat surprised.
Cao Mi nodded: “Yes, the most important thing is the oil.”
In ancient China, printing was not invented until the Tang Dynasty. But this does not mean that before the Tang Dynasty, no one thought of this method. After all, the method of seal, which is similar to printing, has been popularized in the scholar class even earlier.
What restricts the appearance of printing is actually ink.
The literati wrote with ink, which could not be attached to the stereotype at all, and there was no way to talk about printing.
Only by making inks with higher viscosity, can the printing conditions be met.
“I read that book when I was a child. It’s very shabby. The key parts have been torn up. I don’t know what oil to use.” An ink that can be used for printing at the dispenser.”
In order to explain the printing, Cao Mi asked Dong Li to take out the seal that she had specially engraved before.
“Speaking of which, you carved this seal, right?” Cao Mi showed the seal and asked.
When Zhang Mao saw his work, he felt relieved and nodded.
Cao Mi smiled and said: “Look, the ink you prepared must be able to print clear text after it is stained with this seal, and this is considered a success.”
Zhang Mao finally understood what Cao Mi meant and nodded.
But soon, he carefully raised another question: “Princess, forgive me, if you want to print… printing, you can just use the ink pad. Why do you have to come up with that ink?”
Cao Mi looked at him and said, “Have you ever thought that this method of engraving is only used for seals, it’s a pity.”
“What a pity?” Zhang Mao, a modern person born and raised, couldn’t keep up with her thoughts at all.
“That’s right, it’s a pity.” Cao Mi sighed quietly, “Nowadays, if literati want to read books, they have to find someone to borrow books and spend two or three days to copy them.
“If one day, this method of printing can be accomplished, we will be able to carve a special printing plate for the Four Books and Five Classics, and even the books in the world. With one brush of ink and one breath of effort, we can print three pages! In this way, isn’t it better than copying books? A hundred thousand times faster?
“Don’t underestimate this printing technique, it can really be done. It is definitely a great event that has merit in the contemporary era and benefits in the future!”
As soon as she said that, Zhang Mao understood!
He opened his mouth slightly and digested it for a while before he realized it, and hurriedly saluted: “The villain is stupid, thank the princess for your advice!”
“Yeah.” Cao Mi was very satisfied when he saw that he was awake.
After thinking about it, he reminded: “In addition, the carvings are not limited to wood, you can find other people in the workshop, use clay, clay, or even copper and iron as materials, try them all, maybe you can find other turnarounds.”
Zhang Mao nodded, “The villain should keep it in mind.”
After explaining the matter, Cao Mi sent Zhang Mao away.
She rested for a while, and then thought: “Actually, printing technology has come out, should I get some paper done, now paper is so expensive… Hey, stop, stop, there are too many things now, wait for Liu Ge The cement is done over there, let’s think about it again!”
Thinking of this, she decisively interrupted her thoughts.
After finally getting a little rest time, Cao Mi decided to accompany a few children whom he had not seen for a long time.
After arriving in Liaozhou, she became a lot more busy. Apart from insisting on having dinner with the children every day, most of the time, she was busy with things in the mansion or the villa.
When she arrived at Qi Rui’s yard, she found that the three children did not play in the yard, but sat together on the couch and immersed themselves in a book.
Cao Mi walked over in amazement, planning to scare them from behind.
As a result, her clumsy performance was only exchanged for the third child to hold the venue and bluff, and the remaining two little devils almost rolled her eyes for her.
After laughing, Cao Mi sat down beside the three of them, “What are you doing? You didn’t go out today, my little sons are getting more and more eager to learn, that’s great!”
She knows the importance of praise to children, so she never hesitates to praise them, and let them know the importance of being eager to learn and helping others.
Qi Rui handed the book in his hand to Cao Mi, Cao Mi took a look and found that it was a scripture and history of this dynasty.
Cao Mi frowned slightly: “This… where did this book come from?”
Qi Rui explained: “The master that my father invited for me is coming. I heard that the master is the best at treating classics, so I asked the servant in the hospital to find a book for me and I am studying it.”
“So it is.” Cao Mi nodded.
In February this year, Qi Rui celebrated his fourth birthday on the way from Beijing to Liaozhou. In the Sheng Dynasty, this is the time for formal enlightenment.
Qi You was well prepared and wrote a letter before he left Beijing, inviting an old friend to teach the three children.
The old friend, because of his upright temperament, offended a lot of powerful people when he was an official, and was almost exiled, but Qi You managed to save it. When Qi You sent the letter, he was living in Quanning, south of the capital, and he replied that he expected to arrive in Cannes in late May.
Qi Rui has been very smart since he was a child, and he can already recognize most of the commonly used words, probably thinking of doing some previews before the master comes over.
“Then you… no, the three of you, do you understand?” Cao Mi asked.
The three little heads shook their heads together.
Qi Rui tried to save some face, and added a little aggrievedly: “I can read many words, but… I can’t read them together.”
Although he knew something was wrong, Cao Mi couldn’t help but laugh.
