to expand the bookstore, she would have to have outlets across Great Chu, opening at the same time, just waiting for the official newspaper to report on this pinyin matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they can open for business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, the difficulty lies in not having enough money to buy the stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu realized she was short on money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly a rare experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she opened her first bookstore in her hometown County City, she hadn’t felt the sensation of lacking money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady, what is this?\" Tang Dongfeng asked, feeling puzzled after reading it; he didn’t understand much, especially pinyin itself, which was so different from Chinese characters and includes initials, finals, tones, etc., it was too strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu handed him a dictionary of Chinese characters along with some basic pinyin teaching books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Dongfeng was not foolish; after reading the dictionary, he set aside the Four Books and Five Classics and went to compare it with the basic pinyin teaching books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he looked at them, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you like me to read a few for you?\" Ye Muyu saw he hadn’t realized the true benefit of pinyin and couldn’t help but say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Dongfeng naturally nodded, \"Then I’ll trouble the lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu then taught him to recognize some simple words, such as the pinyin for big, sky, people, and she also taught him a few homophones to let him appreciate the charm of the tones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the teaching did not lack the front and back nasal sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Dongfeng listened, his eyes lit up, \"This teaching method is quite peculiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady, although I can’t express the subtlety right now, I feel that recognizing characters through pinyin will definitely be faster than just looking at the text.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, pinyin was invented to help everyone recognize characters,\" Ye Muyu said, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good stuff.\" Tang Dongfeng, somewhat excited, couldn’t help but stand up and loudly read several words, even sang along with the pinyin song in the basic teaching materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu thought that listening to this familiar yet strange pinyin song felt quite peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This song is so smooth; after singing it once, I’ve memorized all 26 letters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu nodded with a smile, thinking that it was indeed smooth; it was the accumulation of the experience of predecessors, she was just a transporter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady, you’re right, we have to open a bookstore!\" Tang Dongfeng calmed down after a while and nodded at her, \"But the stores I previously bought, some are quite large due to bargains, they are too big just for the bookstore, maybe for these large stores, we could open a food shop next door to boost business together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu nodded, having to admit Tang Dongfeng knew how to do business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, our most urgent matter now is to train suitable shopkeepers, and since our funds are not sufficient, we need to find partners to do this business together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find someone to partner with?\" Tang Dongfeng also realized this; he had just bought stores in a dozen places, costing him forty thousand taels, and if he were to buy them all, it would need over a million taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much silver, the Chu family definitely couldn’t afford it right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the stores under Ye Muyu’s name now generate an income of tens of thousands of taels monthly, in a year, it’s only a hundred thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>",613,"2026-06-05T23:54:43.514Z",1,"novelbin.me","8664ef0e8af7bdb32fe122221cd254a61c8614b2ee266f85722efdfed329fc7d","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-2204","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-2202",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
