The word mold can not be used yet, so that the master who is good at carving polishes it, so that the font just adds a deep and three-dimensional, so that when it is printed on the paper, the handwriting can be clear and neat.

It's a delicate job, and there's no urgency. However, Princess Pingyang seemed to be very satisfied, holding the uncarved character mold, and thoughtfully: "Youyang, when the character mold is carved, which one will be printed first?" ”

Although the expression on his face has not changed, his eyes have brightened a lot. Princess Pingyang is a person who is accustomed to being emotionally introverted, and having such a look is a manifestation of complete trust in Xue Lang.

Xue Lang knew it in his heart, and naturally had a happy smile on his face, thought about it, and said, "How about printing the "Thousand Character Text" for the first time?" ”

"A Thousand Words" is an enlightenment book!

Princess Pingyang understood Xue Lang's deep meaning as soon as she heard it, and a smile appeared on her face: "Yes, you should start with enlightenment books." ”

The font has been cast, but if the price of paper is not lowered, the promotion of books is still a very difficult thing.

Xue Lang said: "It's time to step up research on the production of bamboo paper!" ”

When Xue Lang was learning to paint, he visited the process of paper making with his teacher, and with his memory, he was able to copy the process completely and smoothly, and the difficulty lies in the proportion of materials!

When you visit, no one will tell you what materials to use and how much. Therefore, the current research focus of the paper workshop is the proportion of materials, and this is the one that takes the most time.

The printing workshop and the paper workshop are together, on the edge of a small river, not the Ba River, but an unknown tributary. This is the property of Princess Binh Duong, a farm where her subordinates live. The workshop is selected here, which is very safe and convenient for confidentiality.

The two came out of the printing workshop together, Xue Lang looked at the papermaking workshop next to him and asked, "Isn't there any progress in papermaking yet?" ”

Princess Pingyang nodded: "At present, the masters can only adjust the amount of materials according to their previous experience, and there is no finished product yet." ”

Xue Lang: "There's no hurry. Movable type printing has come out, it doesn't matter if the paper is used hemp paper first, compared to the use of engraving printing has saved a lot of costs, compared to other printing workshop books, we can fight a dozen price wars when they are printed! ”

"Price wars?"

Princess Pingyang understood the meaning after a little thought, glanced at Xue Lang, and said, "It is indeed a dozen!" ”

Xue Lang smiled brightly at Princess Pingyang's eyes and said, "I have an idea, wait for me to go back and improve it, write it out and show it to the sage, I hope the sage can agree with it." If the saint agrees, I don't know if he will send an edict of marriage sooner. ”

The expression was full of longing and anticipation. Princess Pingyang paused, looked at him with a smile, and then moved. Xue Lang grinned, took two steps, caught up with Princess Pingyang, and asked, "Aren't you looking forward to Jianling?" ”

Princess Pingyang glanced at him and said angrily: "How can you ask your daughter's family like this?" Rude, be careful! ”

Xue Lang smiled, unimpressed by her anger, remembered that he wanted to cultivate a housekeeper, and changed the topic and asked, "Jianling, how did you cultivate so many useful stewards in your hands?" I feel that there is a lack of such manpower in my house, and it is not smooth to manage. ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Most of them are old servants for generations, and the family has accumulated. The servants in my family began to learn the rules at the age of seven, and they followed their parents for several years. ”

In these days, there are not many literate civilians, let alone servants! Therefore, the family members all pay attention to the family and the servants, and if nothing else, it is the greatest benefit that the talent will not be broken.

When he was in Weize Pass, Xue Lang didn't feel that when he arrived in the capital, he was going to run his own industry, and Xue Lang felt that the talents in his hands were terrible. In the end, Xue Lang is still too thin.

Xue Lang thought for a while, and had an idea: "Can you ask the housekeeper you have to use to help with the training?" What about the servants of my house? ”

"Training? But what does it mean to train you? ”

Princess Pingyang's expression was a little strange. Xue Lang nodded: "That's what it means." May I? ”

Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang with that kind of smiling expression again: "Are you sure?" ”

Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, but then immediately understood. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are people, there will also be conflicts of interest. Princess Pingyang's servants are naturally her allies of interests, and they will only be loyal to her.

Where there are interests, there will be fights. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia's mother's dowry servants and Wang's dowry are only with their respective masters, and they never say that they are all working together as a family. There are all kinds of complicated personnel and conflicts of interest, which can be seen.

In ordinary ancient eunuch families, the servants of the male master and the female owner were not all the way, each loyal to their respective masters, and each protected the interests of their own sons. This is the social reality at this time, and it is also the embodiment of human interests.

Xue Lang's current proposal is simply to directly put the entire Xue Mansion Chiguo in front of Princess Pingyang. Even the shrewd and wise Princess Pingyang has the limitations of being a native of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that she has the above questions.

And Xue Lang, as a modern person, accepts the concept of husband and wife. In this world, in addition to parents, only husband and wife are the most intimate, and Xue Lang's point of view is that husband and wife should trust each other, and they are completely defenseless.

Therefore, at the beginning, he didn't react at all, but after he reacted, he smiled, forgot the environment he was in at this time, took Princess Pingyang's little hand, and said sincerely: "Jianling, as far as I'm concerned, I don't mind that the servants around me are all trained by you, and everything about me, as long as you want to know, I'm willing to let you know." Of course, this is not to say that I don't need an independent space, with the two of us personalities, we need each other's independent mental space, and we hope to be intimate at the same time, but also to respect and tolerate each other, okay? ”

Princess Pingyang didn't move, her eyes showed a strange light, she looked at Xue Lang, and described it with a sense of solemnity: "Do you know these words, what will I think after hearing them?" ”

Xue Lang shook his head: "I don't know." Still, I want you to understand what I think. The two of us have completely different growth backgrounds and experiences, and naturally, there will be differences in living habits and behavior, but I think there is no contradiction in principle, so we can slowly run in and adjust. However, even if we want to run in and adjust, we must let you know me on the basis of that, I hope that if there is any problem, we can communicate and negotiate well, okay? ”

Xue Lang never believed that lovers could be born with a heart, which can only be said to be the most perfect state of a legend. The so-called tacit understanding and heart-to-heart are all adjusted by running-in. He's such a pragmatic and unromantic person.

Princess Pingyang didn't speak, but looked at Xue Lang with bright eyes, as if she wanted to see him through, stared at him for a long time, and then almost sighed: "You, you!" How can I say it, and what should I do? ”

Xue Lang smiled brightly and said: "I know that you are used to being introverted, don't be afraid, my patience is not bad, you are not used to it at first, I can wait until the day when you are willing to show it to me." ”

Liking is just the foundation of all feelings, and if you want to have a deeper development and emotional sublimation, you need many, many things. Xue Lang couldn't say what it was, he only knew that he had the intention to go further. He is willing to take more time and give the other person more patience, which is his clumsy way of liking.

"Fool!"

Princess Pingyang couldn't restrain the emotions in her heart anymore, and couldn't help but take a small step forward, holding Xue Lang's hand tightly with her backhand: "Xue Lang, I have never wanted to be a husband and wife with you like this at this moment. ”

Xue Lang: "Me too. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, their pulses speechless.
