The printing technology in Dajin was not very advanced. Although it was also printed with movable type, it used wooden type, which increased the cost of printing a book.
Of course, there are also printing houses that use copper and iron to engrave characters and make movable type, but the price is also high. The price in the entire printing market seems to have been negotiated. No matter which printing method is used, no one lowers the price casually.
This is also one of the reasons why people in the Jin Dynasty cannot afford to study. The cost of buying books is too expensive, especially for farmers. If you want to provide a scholar, it really takes the efforts of the whole family, and some even require the entire clan. of power.
While Shen Qingqian was being introduced to the printing of books, she was silently calculating the possibility of opening a printing shop by herself.
"Sixth sister, how are you?" Shen Shan suddenly asked.
Shen Qingqian came back to her senses, smiled and said to the people in the printing office: "Thank you, brother. I'm mainly here today to take a look. It will take some time to confirm whether the book should be printed."
The man immediately became lukewarm when he heard that it was not the time to print, "Then you should see for yourselves first, I still have something to be busy with."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Shen Shan was stunned by the speed at which this man changed his face. He shook his head and sighed: "Another one who doesn't know how to do business."
No matter what, they are guests today, regardless of whether they are printing today. With his attitude now, even if he wants to print in the future, he will not consider their printing house first.
"Come on, Third Brother, let's go find Second Brother." Shen Qingqian patted Shen Shan on the shoulder and turned around to go out.
She had encountered this kind of thing several times. Anyway, she was not the one who suffered in the end, so there was no need to take it seriously.
Shen Shan followed up and asked, "Why are you suddenly looking for your second brother?"
Shen Qingqian turned around, looked him up and down, and suddenly smiled like a sly fox, "Third brother, you don't seem to have much to do recently, or should I find something for you?"
"No, it's such a hot day, I still want to relax at home." Shen Shan quickly refused.
He has been blessed with a lot of light and has been much more relaxed recently, but if you want him to do something else, forget it and wait until the weather gets colder.
Shen Qingqian glanced at the printing house again and sighed: "That's really a pity. You can't let that person see how the printing house's business is going to be done."
Shen Shan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked uncertainly, "You don't want to open a printing shop just to express that tone just now, do you?"
"What if I say yes? Third brother, do you want to help me?" Shen Qingqian asked, tilting her head.
Shen Shan blurted out without hesitation: "Of course I want to help."
"That's enough. I'll talk to my second brother and Mr. Qi about this later, and then you, third brother, will be responsible." Shen Qingqian nodded with a smile, then turned around and got on the carriage.
Shen Shan: "..." Why does he always feel like something is wrong?
It wasn't until Shen Qingqian, Mr. Qi and Shen Jun confirmed that they wanted to open a printing house named after the academy that Shen Shan came to his senses.
He couldn't laugh or cry. He sighed while driving on the way back, "Sixth sister has really grown up."
In fact, she didn't need to say this. As long as she spoke, could he really refuse? Obviously not.
Shen Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled softly, without saying anything.
In fact, Shen Shan is the best manager in the Shen family. Unfortunately, now that there is Shen Shen, and Shen Qingning who has mastered the technology, apart from accounting, there is nothing left for him for the time being.
Opening a printing studio was an accident, but it was also inevitable.
