Chapter 308: A Book Made of Paper

Nangong Anshan stayed in the city for a few more days, and knew that the shop would be fine, so she returned to Liuye Village to do other things.

On the second day of the sixth month, Nangong Anshan was having breakfast, and the person who burned the kiln came to report that the words she wanted had been burned.

She was about to go and have a look, when she saw Erjian coming over and saying that Qiao Shengli had arrived.

Nangong Anshan let him in and asked, "Grandpa Qiao, is there something wrong with you?"

Qiao Shengli heard what she called herself, and said with a flattered look: "Little owner, we know that it may be too much to make this request now, but we can't help it, and we ask the little owner to agree."

Nangong Anshan thought for a moment and said, "You came here to build a house in your village, right?"

"Yes." Qiao Shengli said: "The people of Changshui Village, let me be the representative, let me come and discuss with you, saying that now your land has been cleared out of the wasteland, and all things have been planted, so they want to build the house, otherwise they will not have a good time this winter, after all, His Royal Highness King Liwang will not send us charcoal to use."

Nangong Anshan said: "You're right, I'm really not very busy in the field now, especially with the help of people from other villages, if they want to build a house, let's build it, I'll give them fifteen days to let them build a house well, I will keep their work qualifications, and after they build a house, they can come back."

Qiao Shengli said with a grateful face, "Thank you, little owner."

Nian Pingping asked suspiciously, "Miss, why haven't many people's houses in this village been built yet, why don't they come to tell you that they want to build a house?"

Nangong Anshan said: "This is not strange, from the Chinese New Year to now, it has only been a few months, and they don't have much money in their hands, now to build a house, at most they can only build another blue brick house, too lazy to toss, it is better to save more money and build a magnificent yard next year."

"When people from other villages came, they had a lot of money compensated by Liwang, and it is normal for them to be able to build houses now."

Nian Pingping suddenly realized, "I see."

After Qiao Shengli left, Nangong Anshan went to inspect the field again.

Now she grows a lot of other things in her field besides rice.

For example, cotton, rape, garlic, peppers, sugar cane, etc., as long as she may need to use them in the future, she grows a lot of them.

In addition, she also planted a lot of trees and other trees that are needed to make paper.

Dugu Huanxu also sent someone over before and asked her to buy cotton seeds, and she also sold a lot.

After the inspection, she went to the place where she burned the kiln to see how her words were burning.

When she arrived, she checked each word to make sure it was perfect, and began assembling it on a chuck ready to print.

The person next to her didn't know what she was going to do, but after seeing her tinkering for a while, there were a lot more words on the paper in front of her.

A person looked at the words on it and couldn't help but read it, "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away...... This is the three-character scripture."

Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "That's right, this is the three-character scripture, with movable type printing, with paper, you can print the three-character scripture in a book in the future, and you don't have to carry heavy bamboo slips on your back."

The people around were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect that paper could still be used like this, and books could be printed like this.

Nangong Anshan continued: "The words on this chuck can be removed, and if there is no shortage of this book on the market in the future, you can take down the words, reorder them, and print other books, and there will be no waste at all."

The people around were even more shocked.

It's too convenient to make a book like that.

Nangong Anshan asked them to continue to burn the characters, and after all the words needed for the Three Character Sutra were burned, she asked them to take them to the paper mill.

There is her printing workshop in the paper mill, and the printed books will also be in the paper mill in the future.

She found a few people, and also took out the book of the Three Character Sutra from the space, and then showed them it.

Printing was already very simple, and when she finished the demonstration, she said, "Have you all learned it?"

Several people said at the same time, "I learned."

Nangong Anshan said: "Then it's up to you to print, remember, to print in a regular manner like me, not perfunctory, if there is a mistake, that page is not needed, re-do, be sure to make every book perfect, do it well, I can give a bonus of two taels this month, if you don't do well, I will deduct his money, you know?"

"Got it."

After Nangong Anshan finished speaking, she let them do it themselves.

Nangong Anshan watched from the side for a while, and saw that what they were doing was fine, so she went to do other things.

She didn't go far, she went to the workshop next door and began to build her giant loom.

Although the workshop has not yet been built, her machine is ready to be arranged.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, because she sent people to print books in turn in the morning and evening, there were already thousands of copies of the three-character scripture she had printed at this time.

She gave other enlightenment books of the era for them to print.

Early in the morning, she got up early, took the book and walked to the Qing bookstore.

As soon as she arrived at the Qing Bookstore, she placed her three-character scripture in the most conspicuous place in the shop, so that people could see it as soon as they came in.

Of course, she didn't put them all up, and when the shelves were sold out, she restocked.

Soon, customers were coming in one after another to buy what they needed.

Some regular customers saw Nangong Anshan here and greeted her.

At this moment, a person saw the "Three Character Classic", immediately picked it up, and after flipping through a few pages, he was shocked and said, "This ...... This "Three Character Classic" made of paper is also too beautiful, and this character is also beautifully written, and each one is pleasing to the eye."

When the other people around who heard his voice heard this, they also went over to pick it up and take a look.

"It's really good, I actually finished the three-character scripture in one book."

"It's too lightweight."

"This font is also so beautiful and too clear."

"It's amazing how I think every book has the same font."

Listening to the voices of everyone's praise, Nangong Anshan's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

One person suddenly turned his head and asked, "Shopkeeper, how did this "Three Character Classic" be sold?"

Shopkeeper Zhou had already heard Nangong Anshan say the price, and said loudly, "Guest, that is two taels of silver a piece."

"Two taels of silver? It's too expensive."

"It's not expensive, it's written so clearly, children must be interested in reading it."

"It's a little expensive, but it's a book made of paper, and it's normal to be a little expensive, and I can accept it."

"This is a precious truth, this book is so light, so clear, I think it's worth it."
