“Take a look yourself.”
Then, a book was thrown at her.
Ye Muyu did not mind. After all, they were in soone else’s territory, so they had to lower their heads. Besides, it was not a big deal.
She, who had always been calm, quickly opened the book and read it.
She was a little suspicious. She only saw one kind of extrely expensive Oil
Smoke Ink. The others were basically Pine Smoke Ink, and the price of Pine Smoke Ink was not cheap.
This was not surprising. After all, the raw material needed for Pine Smoke Ink was pine trees. The ancient people did not have the idea of planting trees. Over the years, Pine Smoke Ink naturally beca more and more expensive.
It was located in Jiangnan, and the economy was prosperous, but it could not withstand the price of Pine Smoke Ink. She rembered that the Song Dynasty had begun to develop all kinds of Oil Smoke Ink.
Oil Smoke Ink and Pine Smoke Ink had their own characteristics. Pine smoke ink made from ancient pine trees was naturally extrely precious. Most Pine Smoke Ink was made from pine branches, so it was naturally not that useful.
The price was also cheaper.
The ink used in the county’s bookstores was basically so cheap Pine Smoke Ink.
There were many types of Oil Smoke Ink. If one really calculated, the price should be cheaper and more suitable for large-scale printing.
“Lord Xu, why is there only one kind of Oil Smoke Ink?” Ye Muyu asked after reading it.
Compared to the amount of Pine Smoke Ink, the Oil Smoke Ink was all alone and sowhat desolate.
Xu Jiao raised his head to look at her. Seeing that she was a woman, he did not have any extra expression. He only said indifferently, “The developnt of the Oil Smoke Ink has only just appeared. How can there be so many types?”
“Was this Oil Smoke Ink developed by your book factory?” For so reason, Ye Muyu thought of the ink that Chu Heng had ntioned. It was mainly Hui Ink, and Hui Ink was a famous Pine Smoke Ink.
It was enough to show how precious it was.
However, if it was large-scale printing, Oil Smoke Ink was more suitable and the cost was lower. Especially now, seeing that the price of Pine Smoke Ink in Great Chu was getting higher and higher, it should be related to the decrease in the number of pine trees. At this ti, oil smoke ink had even more value in existence.
“How did you know?” Xu Jiao raised his head in surprise. This ti, he was a little surprised, especially since the person in front of him was only a woman.
“I saw that you seed to be reading information on Oil Smoke Ink, ” Ye Muyu smiled.
Ye Muyu was not lying. Just now, she carefully looked at the books that Xu Jiao was reading and realized why he had piled so many books on his desk and seed very busy.
“You can read?” Xu Jiao was surprised at first. Then, he muttered to himself, “That’s right. You’ve already opened a bookstore. It wouldn’t make sense if you can’t read.”
“Milord, I have already written down my request.” “This is the original copy of the books that I need to print.”
“I wonder if I can choose the printing thod.”
Xu Jiao took the registration book and saw Ye Muyu’s beautiful handwriting. She had written three pages, which was more than thirty books.
If it were not for Ye Muyu’s small handwriting, she probably would not even be able to write them within three pages.
“You’re lucky to have so many books. There’s no one else’s order recently. We can print them for you in seven days.”
“As for printing, we’re using movable type printing now, so the speed will be much faster.”
Ye Muyu nodded.
He thought to himself that the situation in Great Chu was a little strange. The printing technique had developed quite well, but the ink was still in a state of undeveloped.
However, this also gave her a business opportunity..
