Chapter Seventy-Four: Partnership

"I said, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you looking for me for?" Wang Caijun hurriedly diverted the topic, looking at the prince's appearance of smiling but not smiling, Wang Caijun's heart was actually quite speechless, isn't this His Royal Highness the prince having a convulsion?

"Caijun, I know you've been looking for a carving master recently, I want to ask, are you looking for a carving master just for those mud in the yard?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw the innocent expression in Wang Caijun's eyes, and deliberately diverted the topic, so he could only forcibly hold back a smile and ask Wang Caijun what he wanted to do?

"Mud? How many loads of mud can you give me a try? Wang Caijun glanced at Prince Dongfang Mingyu with dissatisfaction.

"Don't you want an engraver? I just glanced at that cripple, I'm afraid it's not very reliable, right? Seeing that Wang Caijun seemed to be mad, the prince hurriedly diverted the topic.

"There's no way, what I'm most lacking now is an engraver, let's deal with it first!" Wang Caijun said speechlessly.

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, let me ask first, is there a dictionary here?" Wang Caijun suddenly thought of a big problem.

"Dictionary? What is a dictionary? The prince was suddenly stunned.

"It's a collection of all the languages in our country. That book only has words you don't know, no words you can't find! Wang Caijun hurriedly said.

"This thing...... If you want to say that there is, there really is, if you want to say that there is no, but there is none! Prince Dongfang Mingyu hesitated slightly, and then continued.

"How?" Wang Caijun was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, this is still a matter of the first emperor's time, and when the first emperor was there, it was said that he had a book in his hand, which was a collection of the world's writings. This text is a symbol of the emperor, and it is said that it was the founding emperor who made it difficult for the Great Confucian to write all the words in one book for five years.

This book is just like Caijun said, only the words you don't know, there are no words you can't find, and more importantly, there is a special mark on this word, all the words you don't know can be said as long as you follow the mark, it is said that for this book, the founding emperor of the year worked hard, just because at that time our country was small, there were few people who read, and people were more ignorant. The prince hurriedly said.

"I can't imagine that the founding emperor would have such an idea, it's really sighing." Wang Caijun said with a sigh.

"It is said that this is also the dream of the founding emperor by the gods, and he dreamed of a strange place, and that strange place has a very magical book, and with that book, even a doll of a few years old can know the words of the world, so that place is very rich." The crown prince frowned and said, it seemed that he was very unbelievable about this statement.

"Strange place?" Wang Caijun's face changed as soon as he brushed it, "What is that strange place like?" Wang Caijun's voice couldn't help but tremble.

"I don't know!" The prince continued to shake his head. "This is the biggest secret of our Great Qi, basically no one knows except my imperial uncle and the emperor, and I only know a little bit of it." The prince was a little surprised by Wang Caijun's discoloration, and hurriedly continued.

"I don't know, why don't I know, I don't know?" Wang Caijun's face couldn't help but feel a little lonely, this was the first time she had heard about something related to her world since she arrived in the Great Qi Dynasty.

"Caijun, what's wrong with you?" The crown prince looked at Wang Caijun very strangely.

"Nothing? And what about later? Wang Caijun continued to ask.

"Later? Didn't you know it later? The Founding Emperor sent the smartest place of his dynasty to divide the regions and let everyone wander around, and finally sorted out a book very similar to the one in his dream, named the Dictionary of Writing. The prince glanced at Wang Caijun and continued.

"Although a small part was later published, that is, the three-character scripture that is now called, the surnames of the hundred families, were sorted out by the founding emperor, which slowly educated the people, and the country became richer and stronger." The prince finished talking about the end of the matter.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about!" Wang Caijun shook his hand with a wry smile.

"I mean, I want to use this book, and I have engraved all the words on it with cement, and I don't know if I can borrow it." Wang Caijun said with a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, Dongfang Mingyu is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I can't be the master of this thing......" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly.

Wang Caijun's face also darkened suddenly, thinking about it, since the book was clearly passed on to the emperor, the prince is still only the prince, but he is just a candidate for the next emperor, and now there is still a little prince of the virtuous concubine staring at the position of the prince, how can the prince borrow this book now to arouse the emperor's suspicion?

"But there's one guy who has a copy of the book!" The prince looked at Wang Caijun's gloomy face, hesitated for a moment, but still thought about it and said it.

"Copy?" Wang Caijun was stunned for a moment.

"Who is it? Where's it! Wang Caijun asked repeatedly.

"It's my imperial uncle, His Royal Highness King Qi!" The prince gritted his teeth and said the person's name.

Wang Caijun was stunned for a moment.

"It's him ......" Wang Caijun looked helpless, not knowing what to say.

"At the beginning, my imperial uncle used that book to give him enlightenment when he was enlightened, and then the emperor passed away, when the court was divided into three forces, one force was to support my father, because my father was the eldest son, and the other force supported the emperor's uncle, because the emperor's uncle was the most favored by the emperor, and there was another force that was the king of Ning at that time, and the holy decree left by the emperor at that time was to let the emperor's uncle succeed to the throne, but the emperor's uncle said that he was unwilling to be the emperor, and was willing to give up the throne to my father, and supported his father's ascension to the throne, and the power of King Ning was weak, In the end, he was deprived of his military power by his father and placed in Yunnan, where he went as an idle prince. And the imperial uncle, the father was grateful for his abdication and was named the king of one word side by side, the imperial uncle said that he only wanted to leave a copy of the book of the collection of words, as a memory of the previous emperor, and the father agreed, so now only the king of Qi has a copy of this book. Dongfang Mingyu told Wang Caijun what he knew.

"It's like this, it's no wonder that the emperor has always been very fond of His Royal Highness King Qi!" Wang Caijun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that this King of Qi was really courageous, and he actually gave up the throne in his hand. Although he is his own brother, the throne is the only one in the world! I really don't know if this King Qi is really free and easy, or if he is forced to be helpless, but Wang Caijun feels that the reason behind this matter is really not so simple.

"So, Caijun, if you want to borrow a copy of this book, I'm afraid you can only go to my imperial uncle." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with some regret.

"Go find him!" Wang Caijun thought for a while and said.

"What did you say?" The prince continued to think about a few words, and when he heard Wang Caijun's words, his eyes immediately widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Go find him!" Wang Caijun said with a firm face.

"He, he's not...... You ......" The prince was speechless at once.

"Although I have no relationship with him anymore, it doesn't mean that we can't be friends." Wang Caijun's face carried an indescribable indifference. "What's more, there is no relationship between us, he was forced to marry me at the beginning, I was divorced, but he wanted to completely relax and liberate, how could I hate him?" Wang Caijun said with a smile.

"But the Wang family was raided, you don't know what's going on, right?" The prince looked surprised.

"He is a prince, and he will not copy the house of a heavy minister because of a woman." Wang Caijun said lightly.

"Ahh The prince was stunned for a moment.

"Wang Caijun, can you tell me why you want to carve a master and ask for such a precious book?" The prince thought for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how are books printed now?" Wang Caijun smiled and turned to ask the prince.

"It's carved on a template, or on a bamboo board, smeared with ink, and printed on paper to make a letter." Because Dongfang Mingyu is rolling in the market all day long, he knows very well about printing.

"But does the prince know what the disadvantages of such printing are?" Wang Caijun looked at the prince and asked.

The prince shook his head, he didn't know what was wrong with printing.

"First, the engraved words of this template can only be used in one book, and when the page of the book is used up, this template will be scrapped." Wang Caijun continued. "The second is that if you use a wooden board as a template repeatedly, there will be some black spots on the paper, although these black spots sometimes do not affect the use of books, but they are not beautiful in the end." Wang Caijun continued.

"And what does all this have to do with you?" The prince asked suspiciously.

"What I want to do is find a way to be more suitable for printing, with only one investment, and the used templates can be split and reused." Wang Caijun said firmly.

"That's why you're looking for a master carver, and why you're looking for a collection of characters from all over the world?" The prince looked at Wang Caijun in surprise, if Wang Caijun really made this thing, then don't say anything else, the culture of the entire Great Qi Dynasty will be further developed, and many books will not be the only books, but let the students of the world get benefits, what a major change is this?

"I'll take you there, take you to Uncle Huang!" Prince Huo stood up suddenly.

"Don't worry, my imperial uncle will definitely support you!" The prince said seriously.

"Of course I'll support her!" Suddenly, belonging to Dongfang Moran, the calm voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Uncle Huang!" The prince didn't even hear when someone was standing outside.

"His Royal Highness King Qi!" Wang Caijun also hurriedly stood up and said respectfully.

Dongfang silently walked in front of Wang Caijun, but he couldn't hold back his excitement, what kind of thing was in this little woman's head? How could such an idea exist? And the idea is so bold, but people can't help but admire.

"Is this what you came up with?" King Qi is much taller than Wang Caijun, looking down at this woman who has just reached his shoulders, mentioning this Wang Caijun is very depressed in his heart, doesn't it mean that the ancient handsome pot is not particularly tall? At best, it is only one meter seventy, but the King of Qi in front of him is about to reach one meter seven or eight, and the height of his body is only one meter six and five, of course, her height is already outstanding in the pile of women, including the height of the four maids around her, and the height of Hua Yuexiang is not as tall as her, but this is it, every time he raises his head, Wang Caijun feels very tired, because he is much taller than himself.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I've tried it quietly many times." Wang Caijun said with a faint smile.

"How did I not know?" Dongfang asked silently reflexively.

Wang Caijun was silent again, what could she say? Can you say that this body was not your own before?

"In the past, when I was still a girl, I couldn't think about these things when I got married......" Wang Caijun thought for a while and said a relatively vague concept.

Dongfang was silent for a while, he had always treated her as an invisible person before, how could he notice her thoughts?

"If you want to get this thing, you can't do it in this courtyard, and that thing is still relatively secret, since you can do business with the prince, then let's just partner up to build a bookstore!" Dongfang silently groaned for a moment, and suddenly said this sentence.
