Chapter 374

"Ink is ink, so where does ink come from?"

Rang Chuan couldn't understand, and turned to look at Xianshan Chang.

"Look at this book "Literacy with Pictures", why can it be sold for a hundred wen a copy, so that ordinary people can afford it?" Xian Shan Chang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Yunxi and the two gratefully.

Yunxi smiled and looked at Jean Chuan.

Let Chuan open the book to see the ink on it, and then take it to the nose and sniff, the ancients also had requirements for the fragrance of ink, so this sniffing is also a frequent thing, at this time......

Jean Chuan hurriedly took the book away from the tip of his nose, and he was stimulated by the smell of the nose.

"The cheapest paper I can buy costs sixty-five wen to make this book, so if you use ink, the cost of the ink strip alone is one hundred wen, how can you sell this book for one hundred wen?" Yunxi asked with a smile.

"This ......" asked Chuan to check again, staring at the words and patterns on the paper, and asked, "Is it ink?" ”

"Yes."

The clouds and tides are headed.

"Because the ink is used, it is evenly distributed to each book, and the cost of ink is fifteen yuan."

"So the cost of this book is eighty wen?"

Jean and Yu were stunned, and looked at the book in their hands in disbelief.

"Yes," Yun Xi bowed.

"This paper is a little worse, this book will not last for a year, and it will be broken, but this hundred words can be read in 200 words, and it is worth it," Yunxi raised the corners of his lips openly.

Jean and Yu no longer dislike the resin smell of the ink on the paper, and even think that it smells good.

"If you two have time, you can walk around the state capital city, and now many children in the state capital city also know the words in this book," Yun Xi hooked his lips.

"Not only children, but also peddlers, peasants and ordinary people, but everyone who reads it knows the words in the book," Ling Heng added.

Jean and Yu suddenly had a complicated mood, and looked at Ling Heng and the others with appreciation.

"If this merit can be passed by the Holy Eye, then you have already made political achievements before you become an official, and if you can pass the exam, you must enter Hanlin," which made Rang Chuan envious.

"It's all because I have the help of a virtuous person," Ling Heng said immediately.

"Okay, for the sake of you not getting into a fight, and you don't want to harm the head of Xianshan, I will help you pass on these two merits to the saint, as for how the saint decides, it is not for me to decide," let the legend immediately take the case.

"Thank you."

Yunxi and the two of them clasped their fists together.

"We are here today in a private capacity, not officially to issue a reward, and no one knows that the two of us are here, and I hope that today's conversation will not let more people know," Yu Guang said.

***

The Ling family——

"Do you think the two of them will really help us?" Yunxi is actually very uncertain.

Why help them for no reason?

"I gave a good idea, they owe me a favor," Ling Heng said again: "If you don't make trouble, so that the Xianshan Chief can avoid being wiped out, with their personal relationship with the Mountain Chief, it is their two favors." ”

"Just believe it for a while," Yunxi looked at the clouds in the sky.

It's still a little weaker.

***

In a village on the edge of the state capital—

"Who did that?!"

A man in the village was shouting, "My father's corpse! Who did it! How can you dig people's graves! I don't know where I took that corpse! ”

"Stop yelling, go and report the crime."

"Even stealing the corpse of an old man, unjustly......"

It was the third son of the old man who was buried, and the eldest son of the old man who was watching from the side had a flash of eyes, protected the twenty taels of silver hidden in his waist, and decided to cover the sale of the corpse to death, and no one said anything.

"Don't cry, let's prepare some clothes for my father first, set up a well-dressed grave, and my father can die blindly," the eldest son of the buried old man left in a hurry with the third brother.

Although the family did not report to the official, the matter still broke out, and the prefect still knew the news, and at that time it was associated with the corpse of the old beggar who was burned to death with black carbon in the broken temple!
