Chapter 181 Enjoy the benefits
The Fifth Prince did not give an immediate answer, but instead stared at Chu Ci closely.
After staring at her in silence for a long time, he slowly said, "By the way, when are you going to present that movable type printing technique?"
Chu Ci was just about to say that he knew his limits.
The fifth prince then continued, "You have to know that those so-called noble families always use any means to achieve their goals. If you fail to grasp the right timing and measure, and accidentally mess up, it will be terrible."
Although I was quite impressed by the Fifth Prince's train of thought, how could he suddenly turn from corn planting to movable type printing?
However, Chu Ci could truly feel that the Fifth Prince's words were full of seriousness.
Moreover, the number of auditors from aristocratic families in women's colleges is increasing.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed difficult to ensure that the news about movable type printing would not be leaked.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci responded solemnly: "I understand the seriousness of this matter. Don't worry, I will deal with it as soon as possible. Very quickly."
However, even though Chu Ci said this, the Fifth Prince still refused to give up and continued to ask: "When is the soonest possible time? Can you give a specific time?"
It was the first time that Chu Ci saw the Fifth Prince in such a state. After thinking for a while, he said, "About half a month. In this half month, I will do my best to run the libraries in the city and the Women's College well."
The fifth prince did not raise any objection after hearing this.
At this moment, Fan Jingrui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "My wife, if the library can really be successfully launched within half a month, then I suggest that we start to present the movable type printing technology now."
"After all, time is tight, so it's always better to make arrangements early. This will also prevent someone with ulterior motives from seizing the opportunity to interfere and make a fuss."
When Chu Ci heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he said softly: "Okay, I will listen to my husband's arrangements."
Having said this, Chu Ci immediately thought and planned quickly in his mind.
She said, "The current situation is just right. All of Master Liu's disciples have already graduated. Let one of them be responsible for this trip!"
"Okay. As for the governor and Zhang Yaoyang, I will take care of it for you."
At this point, the Fifth Prince slowly turned his head and looked at Fan Jingrui with a sharp gaze. He said in a very serious and solemn manner, "You must hand over the memorial to me accurately within half an hour. There shouldn't be any problem with this, right?"
Fan Jingrui did not dare to hesitate at all and responded immediately: "No problem, I will hand it over to you within half an hour."
Fan Jingrui was fully aware of the importance and urgency of the matter, and immediately began to plan how to complete the preparation of the memorial quickly and efficiently.
Chu Ci thought to himself: It seems that I am the one who is reaping the benefits.
In fact, to be honest, Shi Min and Zhang Yaoyang are the ones who benefit from the fruits of their labor.
When the two of them saw the memorial in the fifth prince's hand, and the books and paintings printed using movable type, their eyes suddenly widened and their faces were filled with disbelief.
He just stood there blankly, as if petrified, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
Although he was certain that the Fifth Prince would never joke about such an important matter.
But the teacher and the people still couldn't help but ask anxiously: "This, this, is it really developed by Principal Chu? And he is willing to present it to the court through our hands?"
As soon as this question and answer came out of his mouth, Shimin instantly realized that his action was inappropriate.
He quickly raised his hand and slapped himself, and explained in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm not doubting His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin."
"Really, really, this matter is too unbelievable. I found it difficult to accept and believe it for a while, so I lost my composure. I hope Your Highness the Prince of Qin will forgive me."
The Fifth Prince still maintained his aloof expression.
However, he did not punish the two for this. He just nodded slightly, and said solemnly and seriously: "Since you have now confirmed the truth of the matter, then start writing the memorial!"
"I will arrange to have this memorial sent back to the capital at a speed of 800 miles. This matter is of great importance and there must not be any delay or omission."
Shi Min had actually anticipated such a situation, but before that he still had a glimmer of hope.
However, after the Fifth Prince spoke so clearly, he knew clearly that it was impossible to grab some of the credit.
"Yes, I will write it right away." Shimin responded quickly.
And Zhang Yaoyang seemed to be just a background board from beginning to end, with almost no sense of presence, but he got all the benefits he deserved.
This made the Fifth Prince, who had been suspicious for a long time, frown tightly, stare at a certain place, and fall into deep thought. He pondered quietly for a long time...
It was not until Shi Shengmin and Zhang Yaoyang finished writing the memorial and handed it to the Fifth Prince respectfully that the Fifth Prince came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.
He examined the memorial with a serious and focused expression, not missing any details. After confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions in the memorial and that there were no ulterior motives, the Fifth Prince stared at Zhang Yaoyang deeply, then turned around and left.
Only Shi Shengmin and Zhang Yaoyang were left standing there, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
After a long time, the teacher and student slowly turned around and said to Zhang Yaoyang solemnly: "Yaoyang, I heard that your wife has a good relationship with Principal Chu. This is a good thing."
"In the future, you must ask your wife to continue to maintain this relationship. Don't be negligent or slack. It may be of great use in the future."
However, what the teacher and student did not say was that perhaps he should really pay attention to the academic progress of his two daughters in the "Women's College".
The current situation is unpredictable, and Chu Shanchang plays a pivotal role in it. If I could use this opportunity to make friends with him...
Not to mention anything else, just being able to get some advice and guidance from Principal Chu would probably be of great benefit to the daughters.
And Chu Ci was completely unaware of all that was happening.
It was because the opening of the library was imminent, and Chu Ci was so busy ensuring the smooth opening of the library that he was almost exhausted.
