Chapter 92: Jing Ni: Yan Lingji wants to learn how to do splits? Let my husband teach you tonight!
A few days later, the paper that was hanging in the courtyard finally dried completely.
Since that day when he analyzed Yan Lingji, she suddenly seemed like a different person. Not only did she not pretend to pass by the room where Li Mo and the surprise were having intimate moments, but her attitude towards Li Mo also changed.
Li Mo couldn’t pinpoint exactly how it was different. She just didn’t argue with him, didn’t confront him like before!
Li Mo felt that this was not a good sign. If you don’t argue with me and leave everything to me, then I’ll be so tired!
This kind of thing should involve both parties putting in effort. Now, he couldn’t bring out his best when dealing with Yan Lingjis.
He always felt that he couldn’t exert himself on Yan Lingji anymore. It’s much more interesting for two people to argue for no reason.
You chatter a ton to her, and she hits you back with a single retort. Does that annoy you or not! Li Mo neatly stacked the dried paper together. The surface of the bamboo paper was clean, delicate, and strong.
He touched and bent it with his hand. Finally, he shook his head and put it down.
“What’s wrong, husband? Is this paper not good enough?”
Jing Ni, seeing him shaking his head and sighing again, felt a tightening in her heart and asked with concern. She knew how much effort Li Mo had put into these things. And it also involved the future development of Liu Sha.
If it failed now, husband would be so disappointed.
“Ah? No, it’s fine. The paper is very good, even better than I imagined.”
Li Mo was pulled back from his thoughts by the voice of the surprise, and he absentmindedly nodded in response.
Jing Ni relieved, glared at him with annoyance, “Why were you shaking your head just now?”
Li Mo’s lips lifted. Why? Because although this paper is white, it’s not as white as you. Although this paper is delicate, it’s not as delicate as your skin. Although this paper has good toughness, it is far from being as flexible as Honey. That’s why I shook my head!
Yan Lingji, standing nearby, I couldn’t say such things now. Wait until we close the door tonight, then I’ll show you hands-on!
Li Mo held the surprise’s surprise sword used for killing people and cut the paper in the courtyard. It had to be said, this surprise sword was really effective.
It cut iron like mud, and cutting paper was effortless.
Yan Lingji opened her mouth, watching in amazement.
“You’re letting him use your sword like this?”
Jing Ni smiled, looking at Li Mo who was working seriously with love in her eyes.
“What’s mine is his, he can use it however he wants.”
Yan Lingji nodded as if she understood, “Just like you?”
The surprise was taken aback for a moment before nodding, “Yes!”
Yan Lingji looked at her as if she suddenly understood, her sapphire-like eyes sparkling. She leaned in next to her, imitating Li Mo’s tone, and asked softly, “Can you tell me what it means to split and chop bigger, Honey?”
The surprise froze this time! Wait, you actually listened to us by the corner? Yan Lingji, seeing her embarrassed look, burst into laughter. But suddenly, the surprise’s expression returned to normal.
“Wanna know? Let my husband teach you tonight!”
This time, it was Yan Lingji’s turn to be stunned by the surprise!
Li Mo focused on cutting the paper and didn’t pay attention to the two women whispering over there. After finishing cutting, he picked up a pile and put it in his arms, leaving the rest for the surprise to pick up. Then he picked up the wooden-carved text printing module and walked out the door.

Purple Orchid Pavilion.
Han Fei and Zhang Liang leaned their heads together on the table to look.
As they looked, they made a clicking sound with their mouths.
Although Wei Zhuang did not lean over, he still glanced over with his eyes.
“Is this the paper that Brother Li spoke of?”
Han Fei carefully picked up a sheet of paper and looked at it under the candlelight.
The paper was thin, and it could still be seen through under the candlelight.
The stack brought over by Li Mo was lighter than a bamboo scroll.
But with so many sheets, the amount of words that could be written was many times more than a whole stack of bamboo scrolls!
Han Fei was amazed, holding it as if it were a precious treasure.
Sister Zi chuckled at the sight, “Master Han Fei, there is no need for such caution. Although this paper looks thin, it is extremely durable and will not easily be damaged.”
“And just now, I tried writing with ink on it, and it does not bleed through.”
“Just with the sheet in your hand, the amount of content you can write is no less than that of a bamboo scroll.”
“If you compare, how convenient is this.”
She looked at Li Mo, who was drinking tea.
The overflowing love almost drowned the nearby Nongyu!
Of all the decisions Sister Zi had made over the years, loving this person was the most correct!
Li Mo now, even if he said he was a god descending to earth, Sister Zi would believe it.
Perhaps only a god could have such means, creating such exquisite things!
Does a sheet of paper have weight?
Of course, it does!
But it can be almost negligible.
“This will be a blessing for scholars all over the world, a revolutionary invention!”
Zhang Liang was sitting excitedly in the room.
One hand held a sheet of paper, shaking loudly.
The other hand held several wooden blocks carved with characters for printing, breathing heavily.
It is hard to imagine the impact these two things would have if taken to the Xiaoshengxian Manor!
The appearance of paper will prevent them from sighing because bamboo scrolls are too heavy to carry.
The existence of printing will no longer hinder the transmission of classic texts due to the time and effort of carving them on bamboo scrolls.
The only trouble is that these printing templates need to carve out seven different types of characters.
Sister Zi, looking at the excited Zhang Liang, couldn’t help but say, “This is not just a blessing for scholars, but for everyone in the world.”
Zhang Liang tapped his forehead, “Right, right, I’m so excited I’m getting confused.”
“Sir, can this printing technique be tested at my Xiaoshengxian Manor first?”
“We have a large number of rare books there. If we have this paper and printing technique, we won’t have to worry about damaging those books or losing rare copies!”
With paper and printing techniques, they could transfer all the content from bamboo scrolls to paper.
Not only is it convenient for collection, but it also makes dissemination and reading easier!
Imagine if every disciple of the Xiaoshengxian Manor can have a copy of the “Analects” in hand, how wonderful it would be!
The appearance of these two things is not just about preserving texts.
It lays the groundwork for cultural heritage and education promotion!
There are actually many ways to make money.
The reason Li Mo brought out these two items is also to pave the way for what he plans to do in the future.
“Oh, this? You should ask our landlady about this.”
Li Mo snapped out of his contemplation.
“We agreed before that I’m only responsible for coming up with ideas. How to implement, how to promote, where to start, all of that should be decided by the landlady, the professional.”
Sister Zi looked at Li Mo with a smile, extremely pleased with his approval.
After some thought, her eyes lit up, “Zifang’s proposal is also a good method.”
The Xiaoshengxian Manor’s status and influence in the State of Qi are significant.
If these two things can gain the approval of the Xiaoshengxian Manor, it would mean opening up the entire market in the State of Qi!
And with disciples of the Xiaoshengxian Manor spread across the Seven Countries, it would be like having free advertising!
This could save a lot of expenses and manpower!
