Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 111: The studious Wenshan

There is a constant stream of students coming to the library to borrow books every day.

They simply couldn't believe that there was a library that would lend them books for free, and that they could borrow up to five books at a time. They could return them after a few days, and they wouldn't be charged a penny. There was no such thing as making trouble and deducting the deposit.

And those rich kids wouldn't mind spending a penny to borrow a book. As long as they didn't damage it, it basically didn't cost much.

But those storybooks were so attractive that they were sold out as soon as a few hundred sets were released.

In order to prevent people from buying pirated copies in the future, the publisher actually put anti-counterfeiting marks on the last page of the exclusively printed storybook, such as which bookstore printed it and the author's pen name.

The last page is also printed with the token emblem of Prince Rui's Palace, so no one would dare to make up the story that follows.

Not to mention the comic books, there are only ten sets, and if they are borrowed in turns, it is not enough to read them all, so points are very important.

The young man had his own pursuits and was concerned about Goten's next martial arts tournament all day long.

Luo Yu took the opportunity to ask the princess to quickly produce the models of the characters in the album, whether they were made of clay, sugar figures, or wooden products, as well as color illustrations and costumes of the characters.

These are all peripheral figures that are taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

The princess's shop business became very popular and she opened several more shops, including one that specialized in selling these peripheral products.

The princess was not idle either. After two or three days, she personally visited Miss Luo Hong and sent her two most reliable maids. She couldn't let Miss Luo Hong be without a personal maid to serve her. It would be too hard.

The more the princess looked at Luo Yu, the more she liked him. She was bold and capable, and was able to give 30% of the library's profits to Prince Rui's Mansion, and invest the rest of the money in the library.

Although the profit is not much, the traffic is really increasing. I heard that many young men from other states also come here just to read this legendary comic story that takes place eight hundred years later.

Later, everyone bought a few comic books and a bunch of peripheral toys, and listened to the stories in the comic books in the book teahouse opened by the princess, but it was not satisfying at all. I heard that the pictures were so wonderful that you could only imagine them by reading the picture books in person. Some people wanted to buy the whole set but couldn't get it even if they spent a thousand taels of gold.

The princess was also worried. All the painters in the palace had been put to use, and they could only guarantee to produce two or three more sets. If they recruited people from the society, they were afraid that they would not be reliable.

So he went to Luo Yu for advice.

Luo Yu smiled and said: "For unimaginable scenes, let people paint the scenes into large color albums and hang them in the book teahouse. With the pictures, everyone can imagine them based on the storyteller's imagination."

However, the storyteller only told stories in the last few volumes of the comic book, and most of the people who went to listen were those who could not borrow the comic book.

This hunger marketing trick can also make the princess's teahouse fat.

When the princess heard this, she immediately clapped her hands in praise, and then ordered someone to give several pairs of crystal glasses to Luo Yu.

"This is still useful in the library, and can be borrowed by students in need. If it's damaged, ask them to pay for it. I believe everyone will be cautious."

"Princess, you are very considerate. Although poor students cannot make us a lot of money, the library's reputation depends on them. We must be fair and just. Everyone in the library is equal, and they must feel respected and cared for. If they achieve something in the future, they will definitely spread this kindness to the world."

The princess couldn't help but tease her: "Ms. Luo Yu really cares about the world. She is more like a member of the royal family than a princess like me."

"No, no, I'm just trying to fulfill Master's wish!"

After seeing the princess off, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to draw serial manuscripts every day and think of story content for new storybooks.

Her life was almost over. She had to eat several extra meals every day, but she didn't gain five pounds in total.

It uses your brain and consumes energy, so you won't gain weight at all.

As soon as the princess left, Director Wenshan stepped into the Fang Mansion.

The Fang Mansion receives these people every day.

very busy.

Mr. Fang and Director Wenshan seemed like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many days, and were very friendly.

When Luo Yu saw him, his eyelids twitched.

This old man was very studious and would talk to her and Qin Bingrui about his daily research.

For example, under the suggestion of Qin Bingrui, the latest telescope was developed.

"I've discovered that when the objective lens (closest to the object being observed) of this crystal telescope is a convex lens and the eyepiece (closest to the observer's eye) is a concave lens, it produces an inverted virtual image. On the other hand, a telescope with both the objective lens and the eyepiece being convex produces an upright real image. These are the different imaging characteristics of these two types of telescopes. What's the principle behind this? I still don't quite understand."

"The principle is actually quite simple, Director Wenshan, you should let the students study the secrets more."

"That's true. My eagerness for quick success and instant benefits will only affect the students' learning mentality."

"..."

Luo Yu was almost speechless.

Is it so easy to convince?

Then he watched as Director Wenshan suddenly pulled out a deck of cards from his sleeve.

So that's it, he has other intentions.

"This is a card I recently found from your cousin's hand. He was playing with a group of students, and everyone was attracted to it as soon as the get out of class was over.

I asked him what it was, and he said it was called poker and that you invented it.”

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, this is my master..."

"Of course I know it was your master who figured it out, but this number represented with these weird symbols is indeed clear and concise. For the first time, I find arithmetic to be extremely interesting."

It seems that this old man Wen is also a student with serious subject imbalance.

"Director Wenshan, did you come here just to talk to me about poker? There are many ways to play poker. I can teach you all of them."

Director Wenshan was so anxious that he kept shaking his head. The two girls were impatient and didn't speak in a roundabout way. If they were a little slower, he was afraid that Miss Bai would leave before he could finish his words.

"Of course not. I just thought it was a good idea. Wouldn't it be more convenient to use these symbols to represent our numbers and keep accounts? So I wonder if these symbols have any special uses?"

"Master Wenshan is indeed an excellent teacher. I can teach you how to use this. If possible, Songming Academy can also use this symbol to replace numbers in arithmetic. Perhaps it will help students understand it better."

"Oh, Miss Bai, you understand me so well. If you weren't so busy, I would have dragged you to Songming Academy to teach for two days."

"Isn't it a bad idea for a woman like me to teach?"

"What's good or bad? All my students have been defeated by Miss Qin and you. What right do they have to say you're incompetent?"

Luo Yu smiled faintly. She also admired this Wenshan Master very much. It was because of people like him that the times had their own progress, right?

She and Qin Bingrui are just giving a slight push to speed up the process.

When Wenshan arrived at the door, the old man saw that no one was around, so he whispered in Luo's ear: "Miss Bai, are the second and third volumes of the storybook out yet? I can buy them for double the price."

"..."

If anyone reads the storybooks from the past, they will find that the storybooks written by Miss Bai can incorporate history into their works, and even include some unexpected martial arts techniques and inventions. This is the most interesting thing.
