Chapter 111
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Yin Qi found Gongsun Shu of the Puppet Hall and told him about the machinery needed for papermaking.
Gongsun Shu said it was very simple and could be done in at most two days.
Yin Qi said happily: "Good. But I don't just need one set; the more the better. Your Puppet Hall has heavy tasks in the future, so you should recruit more people.
If you can't recruit them, you should take in more disciples.
I will also tell you the truth: these papermaking mechanisms will be sold to the outside world in the future, and your Puppet Hall can keep thirty percent for your own use.
Think about it, how big is this world?
I am running a papermaking factory in Zhaoge, which can at most supply Zhaoge and its vicinity.
But other places in the world also need these papermaking mechanisms; the quantity is in the tens of thousands, or even millions."
Gongsun Shu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
One set of papermaking mechanisms might not have much profit, but millions of them would be quite substantial.
But with such a large quantity, can he handle it?
Seeing this, Yin Qi also told Gongsun Shu about the idea of industrialization.
Gongsun Shu said with an excited voice: "Prince, don't worry; I will recruit more disciples into the Puppet Hall next."
Since it concerns his own vital interests, Gongsun Shu cannot help but take it to heart.
After Gongsun Shu left, Yin Qi had the bamboo weaver weave a large amount of fine mesh for papermaking, and then took Ding Ce out of the city to choose a suitable place in the suburbs to build a papermaking factory.
This papermaking produces a lot of wastewater, so he found a remote and uninhabited place with a river flowing nearby.
With the assistance of more than ten earth-element cultivators, a huge factory was built in just three days, covering an area of more than three thousand mu, which could hold one hundred papermaking machines and have one thousand pulp pools, with a daily output of over one million sheets.
Afterwards, next to the papermaking factory, Yin Qi built a printing factory.
As for the printing machinery, it was naturally handled by Gongsun Shu.
After arranging the papermaking factory and the printing factory, Yin Qi became idle again; every day, besides handling government affairs and cultivation, he spent his time transcribing various medical books.
As for riding and archery, he had long been proficient.
In the Republic of China world, he had specifically practiced riding and archery for a period of time, and all kinds of riding and archery techniques were well-known to him.
Although this is the Primordial World, cultivators basically do not get sick.
But countless commoners do.
Cultivators are high and mighty, viewing commoners as ants; no one cares about their lives or deaths, so compared to the commoners in normal history, the lives of the commoners in this cultivation world are actually even more miserable and difficult.
The Sages do not care about the commoners, and no one among the immortals and Buddhas in the sky cares either.
But Yin Qi, he cannot not care.
His roots are in the human race.
Besides medical books, Yin Qi also prepared to simplify characters, compile various enlightenment textbooks, and promote vernacular Chinese.
The current characters belong to bronze script, also known as inscription script, which belongs to large seal script.
The strokes are cumbersome, and the difficulty of learning is extremely high.
Yin Qi favored simplified characters, and once he created pinyin, he could carry out large-scale education popularization.
As for other books, such as those of the Hundred Schools of Thought, they were not needed.
It is easy for him to write the books of the Hundred Schools of Thought, especially those of the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist schools, but how to explain it to others?
Not to mention anything else, just take the "Tao Te Ching".
As long as he dared to write it, Laozi would probably find him overnight and investigate him thoroughly.
This day, Zhang Shaokang hurried back to the Prince's Mansion.
Study.
Zhang Shaokang held a roll of silk and a storage magic tool in his hand, bowed and said: "Prince, this is the reply from the Fairy to you; it is set with restrictions, and only you can open it, and the same goes for this storage magic tool."
Yin Qi took the silk and the storage magic tool, puzzled: "Shaokang, why did you go for so long? It's been almost twenty days."
Zhang Shaokang went riding a Qilin horse; at the speed of a Qilin horse, it would take at most eight days to go back and forth.
Zhang Shaokang said: "Prince, it only took me seven days to go back and forth, but I stayed on the main peak of Phoenix Mountain for twelve days; it seems the Fairy needed to collect something and needed some time."
Yin Qi's heart stirred, and he understood.
It must be that he needed the refining method for the communication jade bead and the secret manuals for the hundred professions of immortal cultivation; Princess Longji did not have them by her side, so she went out to find them for him. Thinking of this, he felt moved.
"Hmm, you may go down."
"Yes, Prince."
After Zhang Shaokang left, Yin Qi opened the silk.
On it were Princess Longji's beautiful characters, and the letter was filled with her longing and love for him.
As for how she sought the secret manuals for the hundred professions of immortal cultivation, she did not mention a word.
After reading the letter, Yin Qi opened the storage magic tool; inside, besides a large number of inheritance jade slips, there were actually a large number of cultivation resources, more than half of which were of immortal grade.
This made Yin Qi have to wonder, did Princess Longji sneak back to the Heavenly Court?
Although Haotian's current Heavenly Court is lackluster, he is after all the Lord of the Heavenly Court, the former attendant by the side of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and he certainly does not lack various cultivation resources and secret manuals.
Holding the inheritance jade slips one by one, Yin Qi pressed them against his brow and absorbed all the contents inside.
He discovered that Princess Longji had given him truly a lot.
Alchemy, artifact refining, puppets, talismans, arrays, beast taming, etc., all possessed complete inheritances; although they basically stopped at the Heavenly Immortal level, they completely crushed the Yin Shang's Alliance Mansion.
After reading these inheritance jade slips, Yin Qi could be one hundred percent sure that Princess Longji had gone to the Heavenly Court; otherwise, it would be impossible to collect them so completely. He also did not know if she had been discovered by Haotian and the Queen Mother, and if she had been reprimanded?
Yin Qi sighed secretly.
The beauty's affection is heavy; he can only repay it doubly in the future.
Yin Qi sorted out the inheritances below the immortal realm, preparing to open them to all members of the Tiance Mansion free of charge.
But for those above the immortal realm, they would need to be exchanged with merit points.
And they could not all be opened; it would need to be determined according to individual cultivation.
For example, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, one could only read contents up to the Golden Core level.
"Speaking of which, I possess genius-level comprehension, can travel through the heavens, and have plenty of time; should I also choose a side profession to practice?"
Yin Qi suddenly thought, his eyes deep.
Laozi is adept at alchemy, Yuanshi Tianzun is adept at artifact refining, Tongtian Jiaozhu is adept at arrays, Fuxi is adept at divination, etc.; these Sages or Great Powers have all mastered a side profession to a greater or lesser extent.
Alchemy, artifact refining, puppets, talismans, arrays, beast taming, divination, etc.
After careful consideration, Yin Qi chose arrays, because arrays can directly help increase combat power, just like the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array of the Sanxiao, which directly caused the Twelve Golden Immortals to be wiped out.
Tongtian Jiaozhu's Immortal-Slaying Sword Array is even more powerful, unbreakable without four Sages.
Yin Qi handed the inheritance jade slips for the hundred professions of immortal cultivation below the immortal realm to the treasury, and then had the treasury notify everyone that all members of the Tiance Mansion could read the inheritances of the hundred professions one level higher than their own cultivation free of charge.
The members of the Tiance Mansion were pleasantly surprised.
Especially the cultivators of the hundred professions of immortal cultivation in the Pill Hall, Artifact Hall, etc., were even more excited and dancing with joy.
They all came from small sects, and their inheritances were not very complete.
At the same time, Yin Qi also handed the refining method for the communication jade bead to Ma Benqi.
In the Primordial World, although communication jade beads exist, cultivators rarely use them because each family has various secret methods for direct communication, and there is no need to carry such a useless thing as a communication jade bead.
This is also the reason why communication jade beads are not very popular in the Primordial World.
Everyone is a cultivator, especially those above the immortal realm, who close their doors for hundreds or thousands of years; who would keep a communication jade bead by their side for no reason? What if they are disturbed?
If they are interrupted during an epiphany, the cultivator would probably have the urge to kill.
Almost time to enter a dungeon, but haven't decided which world to go to.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
