For several days, Mr. Yao ran to the bookstore, trying to figure out how much printing volume of his own "movable type printing technique" is. He didn't scare himself, thinking that this thing would touch the interests of the aristocratic family.
As a result, Mr. Yao discovered that a book was not as fast as he thought from the initial compilation, to the later design cost, and then to sample book testing.
Perhaps, the printing speed is fast, but it takes several months to type the text, illustration design, and the final sample book.
"Look, I said, you're overthinking."
"Well, you're right, I'm really thinking too much."
...
When Mr. Yao reported to Gu Qingling again afterwards, Gu Qingling smiled and said, "If you don't have long-term plans, you will have immediate worries. It's okay if you think more. Our new bookmaking method can save a lot of effort than the old method. If you hand this method over to the Tian family, the effect will definitely be different. But if you put it in our small bookstore, it's just a 'strange and lustful skill', and it's nothing."
"Besides, which aristocratic family doesn't have many secret recipes for making money?"
"As long as we cover it up and don't let the secret recipe leak out, there is nothing to worry about."
...
Gu Qingling really wants to print books or something, but she should forget about changing the world.
With the current strength of the Yao family, they can't eat a fat man in one breath and will only choke to death.
What's more, Emperor Mingguang is already old, and even if the Yao family wants to make a name for themselves, they cannot choose at this time.
Gu Qingling's eyes flashed and let the matter go through. She only told Mr. Yao to be optimistic about the bookstore and not let the secrets in the bookstore be spread.
"Yes, mom, my son knows."
This is the first time Mr. Yao has received his mother's "private property". Although this bookstore is still under Gu Qingling's name, it is now handed over to Mr. Yao for full management, which is almost the same as giving it to him in the future.
Mr. Yao was a little excited when he thought of what was in the bookstore.
Let’s not talk about the newly invented paper and ink cartridges, but just a movable type printing technique, which is also a treasure for heirlooming home purchases.
Whoever masters this will have the right to speak for scholars all over the world - when your bookstore is big enough to be able to keep the whole world's books.
Mr. Yao quickly calmed down and asked Gu Qingling: "Mom, are you sure I am fully responsible for this bookstore? What about the second brother, what are the second brothers doing?"
"Your second brother," Gu Qingling's eyes fell on Mr. Yao, and said, "Don't worry, he will have something else in the future."
"Ah? Mom, what else do I have? If I don't, I can help my elder brother first. After you make arrangements, I can hand over that matter to me..." Mr. Yao was not stupid. Although Mr. Yao's vigilance was a mistake, the bookstore was a hen that lays golden eggs.
If his elder brother was left alone, he would have to cry.
His wife, Mrs. Yao Er, knows that the matter between Baixiang Pavilion is involved. How could Mr. Yao Er, allow him to miss the matter between the bookstore?
Even if the bookstore doesn’t make money at the beginning, it’s okay. When the bookstore becomes bigger, how can he lose his dividends?
Just so happened that Mr. Yao had no money in his hands, so he was eager to divide the golden thigh of this old hen.
"That's all, don't interfere in the bookshop affairs, it's your elder brother; the academy is mine, wait..." Gu Qingling said, "I'll leave my workshop to you after I've finished it. Your elder brother won't be jealous of your workshop at that time. Both of you brothers are my biological brothers, and the palms and backs of your hands are flesh. Even if I'm biased, I can't give one, so I'll leave the other empty-handed..."
Mr. Yao still wanted to speak, but seeing his mother staring at him tightly, the expression on her face seemed to be a fake, so she could only say depressedly: "Mom, what you gave me is not worse than this bookstore, right? If I find that the workshop is better than my elder brother, I will not obey it. Anyway, you have always loved me, and my son is used to it, you can't favor my elder brother."
Look at what he said, it was so righteous, just like he was talking about something big.
But what this means...
Well, Gu Qingling was speechless. Isn’t this obvious that she wants her to favor Master Yao Er?
Mr. Yao’s face is really enough.
Uncle Yao on the side was a little amused and crying. It was not surprising that Mr. Yao argued with him, but he made the old lady partial to him in front of him...
Is this a bit too much?
Mr. Yao smiled and said, "If you think it's unfair, why don't we change it?"
That being said, I just don’t know if Mr. Yao wants to change to this workshop or something else.

Because of the preparations, the books in the bookstore were transported to the Yao Academy one after another. In addition to the books printed by themselves, Mr. Yao was guilty and went to other bookstores in Jinling to purchase a batch, and they also put them into the Yao Academy's bookstore one by one.
The bookstore of Yao Family Academy does not sell pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but if you copy books, you can directly ask the bookstore to provide them. In addition to spending money on pens, paper and inkstones, you also have to copy one more book in the bookstore for others to "read".
Of course, you are too lazy to copy, and you can also pay to buy a ready-made copy at the price of a pound of pork.
If it is some rare books, the price will only be higher, ranging from a few taels to hundreds of taels of silver.
"The Yao family has opened a bookstore? Wait, didn't their family open a Baixiang Pavilion?"
"Don't you know? Their family built a Yao Academy on the street behind, and built a bookstore next to it. They don't sell pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but only books."
The scholar frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "The Yao family can even do that kind of thing. If they open a bookstore, wouldn't that betray the reputation of scholars?"
"this……"
"I don't know what the Yao family used. It turns out that they came from the capital. It's just different. After doing that, the bookstore can be opened. I don't know what the yamen does. It's so insulting to open a bookstore like this. I'm ashamed to be with such a person." The bookman shook his sleeves and left angrily.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The person who left behind was a little confused and murmured: "But... the county magistrate was not sentenced like this."
The Yao family in the capital dug their own graves and took the lead in suing the Yao family in Jinling for committing many evil deeds, and directly sent their family members to the prison. On the other hand, isn’t it “destroying relatives for justice”?
Obviously, although most people were blinded by public opinion and thought that the Yao family in the capital was too cruel, they even did not let go of their own tribe members and sent them to prison; but there were also a few rational people who were scattered and admired the thunderous methods of the Yao family in the capital, and they were able to make up their minds to destroy their relatives for justice and cut bones to heal their wounds.
They argued with others: "Actually, things cannot be said like this. Think about it, if the Yao family in Jinling did a lot of evil and did something that violated the Ming Dynasty's laws, even if the Yao family in Beijing wanted to send them to prison, they would not be sent in. The premise for the Yao family in Jinling to enter is that they have dug a hole for themselves and did so many evil things to bully men and women, and bully their neighbors..."
"Dare you dare to say that the case sentenced by the county magistrate is wrong? Those things were not done by the Yao family in Jinling? Shouldn't the Yao family in Jinling be punished if they do that kind of thing?"
"If I were to tell me, the Yao family in Jinling deserved it. If they hadn't done so many evil things, the Yao family in Beijing would have sued them all and put them all in prison?"
"What? Do you suspect that the Yao family in Jinling is just taking the blame. In fact, the Yao family in Beijing did that? Well, you are judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain. You forgot that the smallpox prevention and control measures that spread all over the world some time ago were taken out by the Yao family in Beijing. How could a person with such a righteous thing and great merit do such a thing?"
