I Open the Heavenly Gate for the Humble Class!
In the main hall of the Fuma Residence, where the atmosphere was tense.
Zhou Ru's convincing voice suddenly sounded, breaking the oppressive silence.
And then…
With a swoosh.
The gazes of the three of them all landed on Zhou Ru.
Fang Xuanling stood up without any hesitation. He stared at Zhou Ru and said excitedly and nervously,"Really?"
"Fuma, Fuma really has a way?”
Fang Xuanling had originally wanted to give it a try.
Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking about the Great Tang's problem…
Fuma, Fuma, just tell him directly that he has a way!
This…
This really surprised him.
However, she was also afraid that Zhou Ru was joking.
After all, he had gathered the power of many officials to discuss this difficult problem. It had taken more than a month or two. This was a discussion that took years as a unit.
But even so, there was nothing they could do.
Therefore, when he heard Zhou Ru's words, he told him without hesitation that he had a solution.
This shocked him, but he also couldn't believe it.
Zhou Ru looked at the scheming Fang Xuanling, who had lost his composure, and knew that this problem had stumped him for far too long.
He chuckled and didn't respond to Fang Xuanling directly. Instead, he looked at his little wife and said,""Wifey, tell Lord Fang, have I ever gone back on my word?”
At this moment, his little wife was also pleasantly surprised.
When she heard her husband's words, she raised her chin high.
He said proudly,""Yesterday, those people from the Ministry of Works had the same expression as Lord Fang. They didn't believe that husband could restore the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow so easily.”
"So, since husband said he has a way, he must really have a way ~"
"My husband is the most powerful person in the world!"
" Lord Fang, you have to believe in my husband. My husband will definitely be able to solve your problem. My husband is the best!"
Zhou Ru smiled and gently rubbed his wife's head when he saw her proud face.
Just now, his wife had cried her eyes red because she felt sorry for him, which made his heart ache.
Now, his wife finally smiled.
Zhou Ru smiled at Fang Xuanling and said,""Lord Fang, do you still have any doubts?"
Fang Xuanling didn't expect that he would be showered with affection just by asking a question.
However, at this moment, he did not care about these things at all. He only cared about Princess Xiang Cheng's words and Zhou Ru's confidence.
He quickly nodded and said,"I believe it, I believe it!"”
"Fuma, quickly, quickly tell me what method you have. I've waited for several years and finally heard this good news!”
Zhou Ru heard that Fang Xuanling was about to break his voice from shouting 'little princess' in his heart, so he didn't keep him in suspense.
"To solve this problem, we have to see where the crux of the problem lies," he said.”
" Actually," he said, extending a finger," the reason why it is so difficult for Humble Class disciples to rise up and make the leap is because of poverty!”
"Because I'm poor, it's difficult for me to buy expensive books!”
"This is the main problem!”
"We know that." Fang Xuanling nodded.”
"It's just that it's really too difficult to change poverty.”
"The Great Tang has been plagued by internal and external problems over the years. It is an extravagant hope for the common people to have enough to eat, let alone how much money they have to spend on their studies.”
"We understand, but it's difficult to change quickly! This needed to be planned slowly. It would take decades or even centuries of hard work before it could be changed.”
It wasn't that Fang Xuanling hadn't tried to change it, but the national treasury wasn't full, and natural and man-made disasters continued year after year. It really wasn't something that could be changed as he wished.
"I understand." Zhou Ru chuckled.”
" Then…" Fang Xuanling looked at him eagerly."Then what should we do?"
Zhou Ru looked at Fang Xuanling and said meaningfully,""Since it's difficult to increase the wealth of the people in a short period of time, why not do it from another aspect?”
"For example…reducing the cost of books and making them affordable for ordinary people?”
With a swoosh.
Fang Xuanling felt as if his seven orifices had been opened.
His eyes widened and he hammered with both hands."That's right! How could I have overlooked this?"
"We can't increase the wealth of the people as soon as possible, but we can reduce the price of books!”
"It's precisely because the price of books is too high that the disciples of the Humble Class can't afford them!”
" As for lowering the price of books…"
He was happy for a few seconds before he suddenly lowered his head.
"No!"
He looked at Zhou Ru and said,"I can't lower the price!"”
"Why?" Zhou Ru raised his eyebrows.
"The cost can't be lowered," Fang Xuanling said."The cost of making paper is very high, and it's extremely difficult to print it!”
"The cost of a book is extremely high. There's no way to lower the price. Otherwise, those booksellers will definitely not do it!”
Fang Xuanling was annoyed. Although he had a new idea, it still didn't work!
The cost couldn't be reduced!
He shook his head and sighed, his face full of disappointment." It still doesn't work. Fuma, don't blame yourself. I know Fuma has already tried very hard, but it's no use. Heaven doesn't listen to people's wishes-"
However, before Fang Xuanling could finish his sentence, Zhou Ru's voice suddenly rang out,""What if I can reduce the cost of the books?”
This voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with Zhou Ru's usual calmness.
However, this voice was like a bolt of lightning that struck Fang Xuanling's mind.
Fang Xuanling suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Zhou Ru.
Almost subconsciously, he rushed in front of Zhou Ru and grabbed Zhou Ru's hand tightly. He widened his eyes and said,"Fuma, what did you say? You said…you can reduce the cost of books? This…"
"Is this true?"
Fang Xuanling completely lost his composure.
Li Jiage glanced at Fang Xuanling's hand that was holding his husband's hand and pursed his lips.
My…
That's my…
Husband, your hands are dirty…
Hearing his wife's inner thoughts and looking at Fang Xuanling's hand, Zhou Ru struggled to free himself with a complicated expression.
Fortunately, his wife did not know that Fang Xuanling had a princess in his heart.
Otherwise, his wife would die of jealousy.
He coughed and said,"Lord Fang, don't be agitated. Listen to me."”
Fang Xuanling hurriedly nodded and looked at Zhou Ru. At this moment, he gave Zhou Ru the impression that he was extremely obedient.
"Actually, there are two main reasons why books are expensive.”
"Firstly, the cost of making paper is indeed extremely high with the current technology!”
"Secondly, printing. The current printing technology is really a waste of effort.”
"And coincidentally…"
He smiled lightly, and his entire temperament rose.
" I'm usually free and have nothing to do," he said." I've found a way to improve the art of making paper. With this method, I can reduce the cost of making paper to 10% of what it is now!”
"In other words, the price of the book can be reduced to ten percent of the original price!”
Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up.
"As for printing, I happen to have some research on it as well.”
"I've developed two types of printing techniques that can be adapted to different situations.”
"There is a type of printing technique called engraving printing technique. It is extremely fast for printing books, and the cost is extremely low!”
"The other type is called movable type printing. For printing non-books, as long as the layout is completed, the speed is very fast!”
"As long as these two printing techniques are used flexibly, the cost of printing can be reduced to 10%!”
"So, this also means…"
Zhou Ru dragged his voice.
Fang Xuanling gulped.
Zhou Ru chuckled and continued,""It means that by combining the printing and paper modification techniques, the cost can be reduced to an extremely low price!”
"If the original book requires money!”
"Then, with my method, a book only costs ten wen!”
"A hundred times difference, I think…"
He smiled and said,"Ten wens. It's not like a poor family disciple can't take it out, right?"”
