Cheng Chumo and the others asked Su Cheng more than once if he had anything to do with the eldest lady of the Wang family, but every time Su Cheng swears that nothing is wrong.

Every time they believed it, they suddenly felt that they were so stupid. It was nothing?

Nothing would give Su Cheng one of the largest printing workshops in Chang'an City?

What a scam!

The manager looked even more surprised. He had heard that the young lady was obsessed with Duke Rong, and it seemed that it was true.

What does it mean if you don’t sell it, but you just ask for it?

Su Cheng couldn't help but mutter in his heart, I have a good appetite and don't have to eat soft food!

"This is your property after all, and you can't just give it to me, right? Otherwise, how can you explain to your family? Don't save me money. We lack anything but we don't lack money!" Su Cheng waved his hand very arrogantly.

Money, what is that? That is the clouds! That is the dirt!

Wang Shengnan explained: "This is not the family's industry, it is my own industry, and it is one of my dowry, so I can do whatever I want."

Wait a minute? Is it your dowry? What do you do for me?

Su Cheng coughed dryly and said, "Since it's your dowry, then I'd better find another workshop."

Su Cheng finally ran into him. This was simply God's will. How could Wang Shengnan let Su Cheng go?

"What are you doing when you suddenly want to buy a workshop for printing books?" Wang Shengnan asked curiously.

Su Cheng shrugged slightly and said, "It's just to do an experiment, improve the printing technology, and improve the printing efficiency."

Wang Shengnan couldn't help but feel moved and said with a smile: "Then try it here. If you succeed, I will give you half of the membership, how about it?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, I don't plan to hide my own personal information. If it succeeds, I want to use this improved method in the world."

Originally, Wang Shengnan thought that Su Cheng improved the printing technology and entered the printing industry and made a fortune. Unexpectedly, Su Cheng did not want to hide his personal information at all, but wanted to announce the improvement method.

Since that's the case, Su Cheng bought the workshop simply for the sake of experimentation. Wang Shengnan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why should you buy it? Just experiment in this workshop!"

Not that it is impossible. Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it convenient?"

It’s okay to give it to you, but now you ask me if it’s convenient? Wang Shengnan smiled and said, “What’s the inconvenience? You just want to do whatever you want, it doesn’t matter if you just tease it down!”

Su Cheng thought for a while and felt that Wang Shengnan's proposal was not bad. After all, it was hard to refuse the kindness, and it would take time to find a printing workshop. Anyway, he would announce this improved movable type printing technique, so he would undoubtedly open a printing workshop.

He really doesn’t like the little money he has opened a printing workshop, so he might as well publish it. You should know that books are very expensive nowadays!

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I will borrow your printing workshop to try it."

Wang Shengnan was happy when he heard this and smiled and said, "It's extremely honorable. If you really can improve printing technology, it will definitely reduce the price of books. All the scholars in the world will be grateful to you, and I will also benefit from it."

"Do you have any skilled craftsmen here?" Su Cheng asked.

Although this book printing workshop is one of the four major book printing workshops in Chang'an, it is only one of the insignificant industries. In fact, Wang Shengnan does not attach much importance to it and does not know much about it. If she hadn't known that Su Cheng had come, she wouldn't even come to the workshop.

So Wang Shengnan looked at the manager, and the manager hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Duke, the craftsmen in our workshop are definitely the best in Chang'an!"

"Where is it?" Su Cheng asked.

"It's inside! Duke, please!" the manager said quickly.

Su Cheng walked towards the workshop, and Wang Shengnan followed Su Cheng without any hesitation.

If Su Cheng hadn't been here, Wang Shengnan would never have entered the workshop as a young lady of the aristocratic family.

So, the manager next to him was stunned. He wanted to remind the lady that such a place was not suitable for noble ladies to come in.

But when the eldest lady's eyes fell on Duke Rong without reservation, what could he say?

Cheng Chumo and the others felt that they were redundant now. They should have left with tactfulness, but they wanted to see what Su Cheng was going to do, so they could only follow with shamelessness.

Su Cheng, who entered the workshop, glanced at him and said in surprise: "Yo, are you printing my collection of poems?"

The manager next to him was moved and he quickly said with a smile: "That's right, our workshop often prints the Duke's collection of poems, and it is sold at a cost price. Our lady just wants more people to read the Duke's collection of poems!"

Wang Shengnan couldn't help but give the manager a look of praise. She has always done this silently, but she has never told Su Cheng that it is the most appropriate thing for the manager to take the opportunity to say it out.

This manager is very sensible. Wang Shengnan blinked his eyes and looked at Su Cheng, and Yingying smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me anymore. I just like your poems very much, so I want more people to read your poems."

Thank you? Thank you for your yarn. Su Cheng just wants to say something to Wang Shengnan now, can you pay me a copy of the copyright fee?

However, there is no such thing as copyright fees in this era, and many people pay for their own money when publishing books.

So, what else can Su Cheng say? It would be great if Wang Shengnan didn't ask him for money.

"Thank you!" Su Cheng grinned.

"It takes too much effort to print the woodblock," Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Every time-consuming printing of a book requires engraving of the carved paper, which is time-consuming and laborious, so you have to use movable characters, which means carving the characters out individually, and then directly as soon as you print the book, so that you don't have to carve every book, saving time and effort."

The people in the workshop suddenly became quiet. Wang Shengnan blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "Yes, why didn't you expect such a simple question? It was simply a surprise to the dreamer!"

Wang Shengnan looked at Su Cheng with a hint of heat, and Cheng Chumo and the others were still confused. What was Su Cheng going to do when he came to the workshop where the book was printed?

They simply cannot experience the meaning of movable type printing.

The managers and the craftsmen looked at each other, and there was no heat or surprise in their eyes, but they were hesitant.

Wang Shengnan soon noticed something wrong and asked, "What? Why do you look like this? Is the Duke wrong? Carve the characters separately and then type them, saving time and effort!"

The manager hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Miss, Duke, no one has ever thought about this, but the woodcut characters will deform shortly after they encounter ink when printing the book, so, so..."
Chapter completed!
