Chapter 230 Printed Version, Wei Chengyi is Back
"It depends on the number of copies printed and the quality of the paper and ink used. If we only use the most common ink and our own paper, the cost of a copy of Three Character Classic is about eight to ten coins."

After a little thought, Zhou Changqing gave a rough estimate.

"It's already pretty good. A hand-copied copy of the Three Character Classic outside costs a full tael of silver. It's worse than robbing you."

Speaking of this, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but complain again: "Let's follow this standard. First, print 100 sets of enlightenment books for me. In addition, print 50 sets of this. The patterns inside must also be printed. I can only give you one month. Let the engraving master work hard."

Shen Xiangwan opened the drawer and took out a booklet, the same one she gave to Mu Yunran. It contained all the knowledge related to surgery. She planned to use this to teach the young boys and girls to study medicine.

"it is good."

After receiving the booklet, Zhou Changqing agreed without thinking: "Then I will start setting up a workshop tomorrow. I plan to print some samples and take them to the bookstore to test the waters."

"No, we opened our own shop."

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan shook her head and rejected his proposal: "If we sell it in a bookstore, we won't be able to control the final price. What I want is not to make money, but to lower the price of the books so that all poor students can afford them. Therefore, we must make small profits but quick turnover. In order to prevent other bookstores from charging exorbitant prices, we can only open our own bookstore in the early stage."

What she cared about was the invisible benefits behind this matter. It didn't matter whether it made money or not, and it didn't matter if it was a little troublesome. As for whether it would have an impact on other bookstores and arouse other people's jealousy and resentment, that was not within her consideration. If anyone dared to stretch out his claws towards them, she would chop him off directly.

However, the profits from printed versions are too great. By then, not just the bookstore owners, but anyone with a bit of ability will probably want to get involved and get a piece of the pie, or even take it for themselves. Perhaps it's time for them to show their claws.

"If that's the case, we'll have to print a large number of books and stockpile them first, and the bookstore won't be open until a month later at the earliest."

What she said made sense. If they sold the printed copies to booksellers at a low price, and the booksellers sold them to ordinary people at a high price, then what was the point of their hard work in producing the printed copies?
"It doesn't matter. It will be later. It takes time to buy a decoration shop."

Shen Xiangwan didn't care about this. By the time the shop was renovated, his books should have been almost printed.

"Then it's decided."

Having said that, Zhou Changqing stood up. He had too much to do and had no time to waste here.

"Ah."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan did not try to keep him. After watching him leave, she leaned back in her chair. One hundred sets of enlightenment books would be printed soon, and the matter of opening a school should be put on the agenda. In addition, she had to go to the county town to buy a shop, and ask Yuan Xiu to help her find someone to be in charge of the shop in the future. Zhou Changqing and his wife had to manage two workshops, so they would not be able to do both.

After receiving the message from Yuan Xiu, Wei Chengyi made simple arrangements for the affairs in the capital city and rushed back from the capital city on the same day. He learned that she had actually gone to Huanxi Tower in person yesterday, and had gone there openly without any cover. Wei Chengyi felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he wanted to pull her over and give her a good spanking.

"It's just a brothel, and no one says women can't go there, Brother Yi, you're discriminating against women!"

At first Shen Xiangwan was a little scared, but in the end he just gave it a go, like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"···"

Is he sexist?

Wei Chengyi was almost pissed by her, and for a long time he couldn't find his voice to refute. Zhao Yuping, Yun Mengyi and others who were watching nearby all covered their mouths and laughed secretly. When had they ever seen him like this? It was probably only Wanwan who had the ability to force him into this state.

"How about I take you with me next time?"

“Pfft…hahahaha…”

To prevent him from being pissed off to death, Shen Xiangwan hurriedly blurted out words without thinking, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Even Wei Chengyi almost collapsed, with the muscles on his face twitching uncontrollably. She dared to let it go next time, but she actually wanted to take him with her? How did he end up with such an unreliable wife? "Ahem..."

The moment she blurted out the words, she realized that she had gotten into trouble again. Shen Xiangwan clenched her fists, covered her mouth with her hands, and coughed twice in an unnatural way, but she had no intention of making amends, because she knew better than anyone that at this moment, the more she explained, the worse it would only make things worse.

"call!"

Staring at her closely, Wei Chengyi exhaled a few strong breaths, waved his hand and said helplessly: "Come here, let's talk."

"No, no, no, I'm fine sitting here."

Shen Xiangwan shook her head like a rattle and chose a seat farthest away from him to sit down. Are you kidding? She wouldn't go there to seek death. As for the fact that they were destined to be alone at night, he should have calmed down by then. If not, the worst that could happen is that she would sacrifice a little more of her looks. Anyway, he had to reveal the matter even if he didn't want to.

"···"

Are you scared now? What were you doing before?

Wei Chengyi sighed deeply again and stopped forcing herself. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would be angered to death by her.

"Chengyi, why did you come back suddenly?"

Looking back and forth at them, Zhao Yuping changed the subject at the right time to prevent the couple from having any conflicts.

"Nothing, it's enough to have Qingying and Junling in the capital city."

Wei Chengyi lowered his eyes and quickly suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart. He said lightly that he did not intend to let his mother and others know about the matter of Yinyue Tower, so as to prevent them from worrying about this and that and being disturbed.

"Ah That's good."

Zhao Yuping did not think much about it, but Yun Mengyi and Ji Shaohan on the side looked at each other. Although they also stayed at home and did not go out, they still knew a little about what was happening outside. The army was not peaceful. Wei Chengyi came back at this time, and something unexpected must have happened.

"Second brother, I will go to the capital city with you next time."

Wei Chenghe, who had been silent all this time, suddenly leaned over and said that they were destined to go to war with the imperial court in the future, and he also wanted to familiarize himself with military affairs as soon as possible so that he could help his brother in the future. As for his family, with Ji Lao and others in charge, and the guards protecting him overtly and covertly, plus his second sister-in-law was not someone who could be bullied, it seemed that it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

"Ok?"

Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, but I can only arrange for you to be a soldier first. As for whether you can climb up, it depends on you."

Back then, he and his elder brother also climbed up step by step from the bottom. Although their lives were not as difficult as those of other soldiers, they understood the situation of the soldiers at the bottom and knew how difficult it was for them. Only in this way, when they were able to stand on their own and lead the troops into battle, would they understand how many lives they were responsible for and would not act rashly and cause the soldiers to lose their lives in vain.

"it is good."

Wei Chenghe agreed without thinking twice. He also wanted to train himself as much as possible and become a qualified soldier as quickly as possible.
