Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 107

　The next day, Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting went to visit the old lady and talked to each other about movable type printing. Now woodblock printing has appeared, but it is not far from movable type printing. What Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting did was to advance movable type printing a little bit.

　　The two formally handed over invitations, and then came to the door with a bottle of spirit wine and two bottles of Erguotou. As soon as the old matriarch heard they were coming, he rushed out to greet them himself. Shen Chenyu was a little flattered when she saw this, but before he could speak to the old matriarch, the old man snatched the wine from his hand.

　　Shen Chenyu's expression froze for a moment, and then she looked at Mu Linting helplessly, thinking that the old master really only recognizes wine but not people.

　　Although the spirit wine tasted good, the Erguotou that Shen Chenyu brought was also good wine. However, Erguotou is not suitable for drinking too much, so even if Shen Chenyu can buy a lot, she dare not bring too much to the elderly.

　　After the old lady tasted a glass of wine, the two of them talked about their visit this time. Hearing this, the originally lazy old man couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

　　The reason why books are so expensive now is not only that the paper is more expensive, but also because woodblock printing is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Because woodblock printing cannot be popularized, most books are still copied by hand, so the cost of books will remain high.

　　If there is movable type printing, although a complete set of printing fonts is a huge project, it can achieve a once-and-for-all effect. Because a lot of manpower and time are saved, the price of books will naturally drop, and this will be a great thing for the benefit of the people all over the world.

　　Of course, if Shen Chenyu can give a new papermaking technique, then the price of subsequent books will be lower.

　　However, Shen Chenyu doesn't intend to take it all out, everything must have a gradual process. What's more, these are his hole cards, only he has endless hole cards, no matter whether it is the emperor or the other princes, they dare not be willing to make a move against Shen Chenyu and the others.

　　Shen Chenyu intends to use these hole cards to climb up steadily bit by bit. When he stands in a position where he can control the court, no one in this world can threaten him.

　　Mu Linting didn't have to worry about the fact that one day the master would be timid because of his great achievements. Because as long as a person is so strong that no one can shake him, many troublesome things can be easily solved.

　　Because movable type printing involves too much, even though Shen Chenyu is cooperating with the old lady on the surface, but in the end there is no way to hide it from the current emperor. But Shen Chenyu didn't want to hide it from him, after all, he still wanted to use this in exchange for higher power.

　　Shen Chenyu is not a character who only does good deeds without leaving a name. He took out movable type printing to earn a good reputation and become a role model in the eyes of poor children all over the world.

　　Sometimes a good reputation is far more reliable than holding great power. Although Shen Chenyu is using movable type printing as a bargaining chip, she plans to continue to climb up bit by bit.

　　But if he can gain a good reputation while climbing up, it will be of no harm to him and Mu Linting.

　　Because there is a saying, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." The people in this world are water. If Shen Chenyu's reputation is good enough, even if any prince in the royal family wants to touch him, the other party will have to weigh a little bit for his future.
