Many servants of large families will serve a family from generation to generation. Their children have been cultivated since childhood, and they know a lot of things. If nothing else, at least they can read and be proficient in various etiquette.
And these servants who were given to Qi Jingchen, in addition to the most basic ones, also had at least one specialty. Many of them even knew a lot of talents. In the introduction of some maids, they said that they were good at various musical instruments.
When Qi Jingchen, who had never learned a musical instrument, saw it, he immediately felt that the maids were a little taller.
"Isn't it a musical instrument? I can play the piano and the erhu." Nie Yi said coldly.
Last night, Qi Jingchen came to pull his clothes. Today, I am here to sigh that some maids are very powerful... Nie Yi felt a little uncomfortable, so he naturally wanted to show off his talents.
piano? Erhu? Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi in surprise: "Nie Yi, you are amazing!"
"It's nothing, we people are always asked to learn more when we were young." Nie Yi said, not daring to say that he actually plays the piano very well, and the erhu is more average.
Families like theirs will definitely let their children learn more when they are young. Some of them are also proficient in painting, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if the children don't like the lack of talent, they will not force it.
Therefore, he did not learn the piano for two years, and only learned the erhu for one year. It's fine to let him appreciate it or play a piano tune occasionally and erhu, but I really need to study it carefully... He must not be very good at learning.
Not only that, by now, he can't actually play... But if Qi Jingchen wants to hear it, maybe he can get a piano master to play the piano, and then use his mental power to completely copy the opponent's movements
Qi Jingchen didn't expect that Nie Yi might have forgotten about this long ago. He felt that everyone who could play the piano was very good, and he knew that Nie Yi would definitely want to praise him at this moment, so he kissed Nie Yi on the face. :"you are the best!"
Nie Yi suddenly felt a little fluttering.
Qi Jingchen has recently bought two properties in the Holy City. One is a residence outside the city, and the other is a storefront in the Holy City.
And the reason why these two properties can be bought is thanks to Louise...
Not to mention the house in the holy city is very expensive, and few people sell it. Many people want to buy property in the holy city and have to wait for a few years. Qi Jingchen originally thought that he would not be able to buy it, but Louise came to ambush. His magus was caught...
The man had lived in the Holy City for many years, because the Rose Empire spoke for him and was willing to give up some interests in exchange for him. In the end, the Bright God Sect did not kill him, but sent him to the Rose Empire, but he All the property in the holy city was confiscated.
Qi Jingchen was the first to know the news, and without hesitation, he bought the man's house and a storefront.
Now that there are so many servants, after asking Pei Xing to sign a master-servant contract with them, Qi Jingchen picked some of them and sent them to his house, asking them to tidy up the house that he didn't have time to take a look at, and then again He picked some people and sent them to Chenguang Restaurant, freeing all his subordinates.
He put Roots in charge of the Morning Light Restaurant and the people who sent it, and then started arranging jobs for the remaining people.
The western area still needs some teachers, the paper mill needs someone with some knowledge to explain to ordinary workers, and more importantly, the printing factory needs literate workers.
These people were born as servants, and they were a little unaccustomed to suddenly being asked to do things other than serving others, but after Qi Jingchen talked about their treatment and salary, they were all excited.
In fact, as long as there is enough salary, what does it matter? And although they can no longer take care of the magician, they can work for the future pope and teach others, which is actually very, very good!
On earth, it is very convenient to start a printing factory today. After completing the relevant procedures, you only need to buy some machines. It does not cost much and does not require too many workers, but not in Hyères.
Not to mention that Qi Jingchen didn't bring the printing tools to Yeer, even if he brought... Yeer's words were completely different from those on Earth, those machines would definitely not work.
Fortunately, Yeer's text is also one by one, which is very convenient for movable type.
That's right, after considering that Yeer's manpower is too cheap, Qi Jingchen has already decided to do movable type printing in Yeer, and since he wants to do movable type printing, he must study Yeer's language.
Now there is a unified script in Yere, but the script becomes different in different places.
There are some differences between American English and English. The language and characters of the Storm Empire and the Rose Empire may be slightly different, as well as the spelling...
Just like in ancient China, sometimes a famous person wrote a typo, the wrong word was wrong, and everyone wrote it like this...
Fortunately, there are no typos in the teachings of the Light God Sect, and most of the commonly used words have been included.
Qi Jingchen decided to engrave the text according to the teachings of the Guangming Sect first, and then print the teachings of the Guangming Sect before printing other books.
To make books, glue is used. Qi Jingchen was very worried at first, but after talking to Connie, the problem was solved. Connie recommended a tree. The sap of this tree can be used as glue. Said, the effect is still very good.
The printing house is so hot to run up.
Pugh, who wrote very well in his hand, was also asked to be responsible for writing the "print" - Nie Yi exchanged the wind chime fruit, and asked him to copy all the commonly used words that they sorted out. Then Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen And their subordinates also started to use their mental power to carve the words one by one.
a month later.
Qi Jingchen is about to open another store, and the store is very secretive, so no one knows what is in the store, which makes Yeer's people very curious.
Those magicians and warriors may only have a few words when they don't know the specific situation, but those ordinary people often watch outside, and some people even think that they can stay away from the God of Light by staying at the door of the store opened by Qi Jingchen for a while. It's closer, and I've been squatting in front of the store, making it very lively here.
"I don't know what store Qi Jingchen is going to open this time." A passing magician said to his companion with a smile when he saw this scene.
"I'm also curious." His companion said: "But most of it is something novel but very magical."
Their carriage gradually moved away, and at the same time, the name Qi Jingchen was engraved on their hearts. It has to be said that as Qi Jingchen took out more and more things, the people who knew him became more and more. too much.
The store opened a few days later.
Many low-level magicians and low-level warriors admired Qi Jingchen very much. They waited at the door of the store early, and they became the first people to see the name of the store and enter the store.
This is a... bookstore
I heard that Qi Jingchen has a lot of literate servants recently, so... Did he let his servants copy all kinds of books and sell them
However, the books that everyone can use have basically been copied by themselves. How many people will come to buy books? And if you sell books, you shouldn't make much money, right
When they saw the name of this shop, the magician or warrior at the door was a little puzzled, and then they walked in.
They thought they would see a book bound with thick parchment paper, but the truth is the opposite. There are many books here that are not bound with parchment paper at all... Books
Aren't the books that were placed next to them the ones that Qi Jingchen used to sell
So, Qi Jingchen actually asked people to copy the books in the notebook and then sell them
This is really a good idea. The parchment is too thick and too troublesome. If there is a lighter magic book, they can buy a copy and use it.
Those magicians and warriors came to the front of the bookshelf and saw a lot of books on it.
The books here are all exactly the same. For example, on one of the shelves, there are hundreds of books on "Practice Methods of Primary Fire Warriors".
There was a junior fighter who happened to be in the Fire Element, and he happened to be copying the "Practice Method for Elementary Fire Element Warriors" that he borrowed from his teacher recently. Now that he saw this book on the shelf, he immediately took it down.
The content in this book is exactly the same as the content in the book he borrowed from his teacher! What's more, this book is also clear and easy to carry!
The soldier was instantly happy, he flipped through the whole book and found that there was nothing wrong, and even more admired the person who copied the book.
"These books are so well copied, they are all copied cleanly, without a single typo!" The soldier said to the people around him.
"Yeah, the character who copied the book is really well written, and more importantly, it has maintained the quality." The person next to him also said.
The two of them were amazed when they looked at these books, and then said, "I don't know how much it sells for such a good book."
Yeah, price also matters, it's a book written on paper, it's not particularly convenient to keep, and if it's expensive, they don't buy it.
These people looked at the price posted on the bookshelf.
Ten silver coins? It's only ten silver coins
The two people who were talking just now shot at the same time, and each took ten copies.
This price is really cheap! Although paper is not easy to preserve, they buy ten copies at a time, and even if they accidentally tore several copies, they still have more!
After getting ten books, they turned around and found that the quality of the ten books was very good. After the meticulous copying, the two were even more satisfied.
At this moment, they suddenly heard someone say, "Every one of these books is exactly the same!"
"Yeah, the books are exactly the same, it's amazing!"
"And it's very beautiful. This set of teachings of the Light God Sect looks really beautiful!"
The two warriors didn't have time to pay much attention to them before, but now they looked down at the books in their hands, only to realize that these books were not copied by one person as he thought at first, but they were exactly the same. !
How did Qi Jingchen do it
Of course, more importantly, they saw a lot of different books!
Some of these books are cheap and some are more expensive, but with a gold coin, you can basically buy a dozen or so!
The cultivation methods of low-level warriors should be bought, the cultivation methods of low-level magicians should also be bought, the teachings of the Light God Cult should also be bought, and this... Isn't this the autobiography written by that very famous magician? Of course buy it too!
Many books can't be used by themselves but can be given away!
The bookstore is not as lively as the Chenguang Restaurant. At least the people who enter the store are not very high-ranking, but the business is exceptionally good. Many people buy dozens of books locally.
After such a toss, it didn't take long for all the books to be sold out.
The grandson of the vice-chairman of the Magician Guild, who had gone to a banquet before and sent ten servants to Qi Jingchen, did not go to guard the door of Qi Jingchen's newly opened store, but sent his own people over to let the other party feel good. , just looking to buy some for myself.
Then after a while, he saw the soldier running back from outside.
"Why did you come back so soon?" the young man asked curiously.
"Master, I bought a lot of books and came back."
"Why do you buy books?" The young master was a little puzzled, they didn't lack books...
"Master, I don't buy much for you, just two copies. I bought the rest for myself," the low-level warrior said.
"Where's the book?"
"I was afraid that I would fix it myself, so I hired someone to use a car to bring back the books I bought." The soldier said, and then took out two more books from himself: "Master, these two are for you. ."
One of the two books is a biography of a magician, and the other is a travelogue. The warrior remembered that his young master liked reading these two books.
This young man really liked these two books. After getting the light and fluffy books in his hand, he was a little stunned after confirming the content.
He likes these two books very much. Even if he has memorized the content of the story because of his strong mental strength, he still likes to read it once in a while, but to be honest, the previous books seem too troublesome!
This time the book is different, such a thick travel journal, originally written in several books, now all the content can be packed in one book...
From now on, he can lie in bed and read a book, right
Of course, for someone like him, the value of this book is not particularly great. After all, if he really wanted a lightweight book before, someone could make a book with some special materials, but for For those low-level warriors and low-level magicians, these books are really great.
Many of them may have never had a magic book before, or borrowed a magic book anywhere, and may even have found the wrong magic book, but now they can all buy one for very little money.
No, he was wrong, this book is also very important to them. If all books are like this, will they be able to see more books and understand the whole world
Also... He remembered that his grandfather once wrote about his experience when he was young. Originally, they could only keep those things in their own homes, and see for themselves whether they can make such a book now, and then let more people people see
Qi Jingchen actually mastered a method that can quickly transmit information.
In the future, I am afraid everyone will remember him as a person!
This young man can think of that, and of course others can.
The sixth elder looked at the books that others had brought in front of him, and after a while he said, "That's really a magical place."
Old Norman had people buy a lot of books, put them in an empty classroom at Westside School, and said to the children in the classroom, "Those are written about being a magician or a warrior, you guys. Hurry up and learn to read, and then you can read it! Some of you even have the chance to become warriors!"
These children in the Western District have also been tested for their talents. If any of them can become magicians, they will be brought up by the Light God Sect to train them, and the same goes for those who can become warriors.
But some people have a little talent, but in their entire life, it is estimated that they can only become low-level warriors, and it is impossible for the Light God Sect to spend huge resources to train them.
These people with such a little talent will eventually become the same as other ordinary people under such circumstances, but if they read books and teach themselves, and work hard to buy some low-level magic crystals, maybe they can still become warriors!
These people were immediately excited, and even those without talent showed eager expressions when they looked at those books.
They all wish they could read those books.
For a time, children in the West End had a greater enthusiasm for literacy.
