Zhu Youxiao looked up and saw Jiang Yueguang sitting down with anticipation. He picked up the booklet and said with a smile: "Actually, what I have done is very good. I just heard what I said a few days ago and wrote such a booklet. I am satisfied, but there are still details that need to be changed."

Jiang Yueguang was very happy when he heard Zhu Youxiao’s praise, so he said, “I am so arrogant and ask the emperor for advice.”

"Actually, I have several main requirements for this book. One is that this book is written by me, so I naturally have to serve the country and court, and there are no articles that harm the court. This is the most important thing, but I believe that Jiang Aiqing can do it. The second is to be close to the people. Since it is for the people to read, whether to buy or not is determined by the people. If the contents are in it are not liked or not interested, what is the significance of Jiang Aiqing printing this book? However, it is easy to say, but it is very good to do it.

It's hard. I think Jiang Aiqing would send some people to the people to do research, understand what the people like the most, and then write mainly. Third, he has to bear his own profits and losses. Now the finances in the court are in a tight position. If this book is issued in a small amount, then I will pay the money. But I hope that this book can be seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, so I can't afford the money." Zhu Youxiao sorted out some of his thoughts, and after that, he laughed a few times.

When Jiang Yueguang heard what Zhu Youxiao said, he thought of something.

When Zhu Youxiao saw Jiang Yueguang bowing his head thoughtfully, he said, "I have some ideas, but I have never tried it. I will try this book. I won't say the first one to serve the country and the court. The second one is that there are many ways to get close to the people. For example, the situation in Liaodong is tense and the people are informed, but they don't know the truth. In this case, various rumors will arise. At this time, my dear can report on the situation in Liaodong in the book. Also, the four beauties in the capital whom I am very familiar with, I can also write. If I have this, it will definitely be sold well."

Jiang Yueguang was stunned when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words that he would write the four beauties in the capital. He cried and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, this book is a national event and a flower and moon event. It's not great, so there will definitely be a censor in the court who impeached it. I think this is not needed."

"That's all the censors who are pedantic. The people work hard all day and night, just to have a happy life. Besides, even if there is no book, there are still four beauties in the capital. This is called catering to the market. If the censors impeach it, I will suppress it and not publish it. My dear, don't worry." Zhu Youxiao cares about what he is doing if he is injured or not. This book is to let everyone know something and be happy. If they are like the Four Books and Five Classics, why do they do this book by themselves?

Zhu Youxiao said again: "There are many more, such as geography. My dear can write some articles such as travel notes and interesting stories, as well as weather, such as where droughts are now, where floods are there, and prices in various places. Anyway, there are many, so I won't talk about them one by one, but I'll do some investigations."

Jiang Yueguang was already confused after hearing so much. When he heard that he wanted so many things to be written, he said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the emperor just said that the booklet was too thick and he asked me to reduce the number of pages. However, if I wrote it like this, I would probably have more than 200 pages. What should I do if I wanted me to do?"

When Zhu Youxiao heard that there was something wrong with him, he looked at the book in his hand. When he saw that the words on the book were all large and he couldn't write many words on one page. He thought that it would be better to change the font smaller, so he said, "I didn't write many words on the page of this book. Why don't you change these words smaller? You can write more things on it? And if it's too messy, you can classify these contents into several categories, and each category and issue has a fixed number of pages. This is not good."

Jiang Yueguang thought to himself that the emperor was thinking too simply, the smaller the word, the harder it was to print clearly, so he said, "Your Majesty, it's better to classify the content, but it's very difficult to change the font smaller. My printing technology in Daming is already very advanced, and there are many private printing workshops, but it's difficult to print smaller fonts."

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he said with a smile: "I seem to have great potential in printing technology. It is better for you to go to my research institute to find your friend Song Aiqing. A few days ago, Song Aiqing sent memorials, which mentioned that a printing press has been developed recently to see how this newly developed printing press can make the font smaller."

After saying that, he said again: "It's better to go with me. I haven't been to the research institute for a long time. I'll take the opportunity to take a look today."

Zhu Youxiao has been tired of staying in the palace these days and has long wanted to go out for a while. Today, he can just use Jiang Yueguang's affairs to go out. It can be said that it is a fake public service for personal gain.

Since Zhu Youxiao established the Ming Research Institute, this old courtyard that was originally an old courtyard in Anmin Factory has changed a lot now. There is always a lively scene here. Especially after the Portuguese in Macau came, it has become much more lively than before. Now the institute has changed from a three-entry courtyard to an area centered on this courtyard, with dozens of houses and four or five hundred people. Next to it, sergeants were transferred from Zhu Youxiao to guard it.

Moreover, this research institute has also changed from a research institute that only studied artillery to a comprehensive research institute involving many industries. Of course, this is probably due to Zhu Youxia's popular science textbooks. Perhaps there is also the reason why Father Sampayo collected various talents from Macau to please Zhu Youxia. However, it seems that the effect is very good now. At least from the memorials that Song Yingxing sent to the palace every few days, Zhu Youxia saw many very useful results. This time he came to take Jiang Yueguang to see the printing press developed by the research institute just a few days ago.

Zhu Youxiao now likes the feeling of being in private visits. Every time he comes to this institute, he takes a few Jinyiwei out of the palace with him. However, there is no need to worry about safety issues. Although Zhu Youxiao only has a few Jinyiwei around him, Zhu Youxiao knows that at least dozens or even hundreds of Jinyiwei dressed in casual clothes and mixed into the crowd to protect himself.

Zhu Youxiao led everyone to the gate of the former research institute, but at this time it was already the core area of ​​the research institute. Two sergeants in front of the door stood straight beside the gate of the research institute. From time to time, people rushed in and out of the hospital. The sound of iron tools knocking in the distance was vaguely heard in the wind.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and said to Jiang Yueguang beside him, "Jiang Aiqing has never been here before. These are my hard work, but now I am on the right track. I don't have to worry much and can operate on my own. I hope my printing company can be like this in a few days without me thinking." After that, he strode towards the gate of the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard can be entered at will, and the sergeants next to the gate are just like a look. However, these two soldiers were probably transferred recently. They didn't know Zhu Youxiao, but they didn't respond when they saw Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao stepped into the courtyard and saw that there were people coming and going in the courtyard, which was very lively. What surprised Zhu Youxiao even more was that some Portuguese were actually chatting with the Chinese in Chinese.

At this time, someone in the courtyard recognized Zhu Youxiao, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. The rest of the people were surprised at first and immediately found Zhu Youxiao. Suddenly, the yard was full of people. Even the Portuguese who had just arrived had kneeled down according to the customs. When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he immediately said unhappy: "All up, don't kneel anymore. Didn't I say it last time? Everyone should not kneel down and salute in this research institute. Why did they forget? Let me say it again. If anyone still kneels down next time, I will deduct his monthly salary." After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, everyone was very embarrassed. If he did not kneel down when he saw the emperor, he would not kneel down. This is something that he usually wants to behead his head. I really can't understand what the emperor thought.

Zhu Youxiao ignored everyone's reaction and walked straight to the place where Song Yingxing was. At this time, Song Yingxing had already learned that Zhu Youxiao had arrived and hurriedly brought a group of officials from the research institute to visit Zhu Youxiao.

When Zhu Youxiao saw Song Yingxing bringing more than a dozen people to him, he was afraid that they would salute him, so he said, "I don't need to salute you today. I haven't come to the research institute for a few days. Come here today to see, Song Aiqing, see who I have brought today."

Song Yingxing followed Zhu Youxiao and saw Jiang Yueguang standing behind Zhu Youxiao nodding to him with a smile. He immediately became happy. Since he met Zhu Youxiao on the street, he jumped from a juren to the chief of the Ming Institute of the fifth rank of the Ming Institute. He was busy with the affairs of the institute and had not met Jiang Yueguang for a long time. He said happily: "Why did the emperor bring Jiang Yueguang here? Is there anything wrong? I have been attending every day since I took over this institute. I will definitely take one day off today, and I will ask the emperor to accept it."

Zhu Youchao was very satisfied with Song Yingxing's work, so he said, "Song Aiqing wants to talk to Jiang Aiqing, right? It's better to add me. The three of us went to Jufulou to have a drink." After that, a light appeared in our eyes.

Jiang Yuguang didn’t know what Zhu Youxiao was thinking. Since Jiang Yuguang was drinking at Jufulou the last time, he saw that Zhu Youxiao was very interested in the beautiful shopkeeper of Jufulou. This time he must have wanted to take the opportunity to have a trip there and fuck the beautiful girl by the way.

However, Song Yingxing didn't know the reason. When he heard that Zhu Youxiao was going to go, he waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please don't go. We just said that the affairs in the court are busy now. We still have time to drink, so it's more important to do the important things. The emperor should go into the house and let Weichen report the affairs in detail." After that, he led Zhu Youxiao and others into the house.
