The corridor was next to some half-opened doors.

It was obvious that there were some rooms behind the door.

As soon as she walked in, she smelled the fragrance of ink.

However, each ink fragrance was different. Ye Muyu could smell several kinds of ink fragrances just by walking from the main entrance to the hall in front of her.

She had an idea. It seemed that different inks were used in different rooms. There were at least eight large rooms on both sides, which should be the printing rooms.

Very quickly, the gatekeeper then brought Ye Muyu and Lu Chuan to the hall.

“Lord Xu, someone has come to print books.” The gatekeeper cupped his hands and bowed to the person behind a screen at the side of the hall.

Ye Muyu looked up and saw a low wooden table behind the screen. There were many books on it.

In the middle of the book, there was a man who was not young. He was leaning on it and studying something.

“Let them in,” the man waved his hand.

The gatekeeper hurriedly gestured to Ye Muyu and the other man.

Ye Muyu nodded lightly. Lu Chuan took out a few copper coins from his waist and stuffed them into the gatekeeper’s hand.

The gatekeeper was still a little surprised. However, he was naturally happy to receive the reward. He took it directly and whispered, “If you have any requests, just tell Lord Xu. Don’t talk too much nonsense.” Lu Chuan quickly nodded to show that he understood.

Ye Muyu, who was walking not far ahead, also heard this advice.

She finally understood why the ancient people liked to fight. It seemed that she had to get used to this.

He walked around the screen.

Lord Xu did not raise his head. Ye Muyu walked closer and saw that he had at least half a head of white hair. He was obviously not young.

This kind of old man was probably a little stubborn and did not like to waste his time.

Ye Muyu’s thoughts flashed through her mind. She walked closer and bowed. Then, she took out some documents that needed to be checked, such as the red contract ot tne snop, tne ott1C1al document tnat allowed nim to open tne snop, and the household registration.

“Lord Xu, we’ll have to trouble you.”

Ye Muyu saat in front of the long desk and handed him the materials.

Xu Jiao raised his head after he finished carving the last row of words.

He reached out to take the document and checked it to make sure that there was no problem.

“Write down the amount, the name of the book, as well as the ink and paper used.”

Ye Muyu took the book.

There was some registration information on it.

Every page was different. The page she needed to write was blank.

She did not know what the format was like.

Lu Chuan was looking at it too.

Ye Muyu quickly flipped the book in front of her. In order to prevent the old man from thinking that she did not know the rules, she moved very quickly.

After all, she did not want to waste paper and cause trouble.

The old man did not even raise his head while Ye Muyu checked the format.

Then, she wrote down the books she needed to print.

She needed to print a lot of books, including the Four Books and Five Classics, some miscellaneous notes that she had brought over this time, Dean Zhang’s annotated books that Chu Heng had given her, and his examination papers.

Ye Muyu chose the cheapest but most practical type of paper, white hemp paper, which was also the most common type of paper used in the county government.

The ink was normal water-based ink.

These were the same as the other bookstores in the county and the other counties.

Ye Muyu had already asked Chu Heng before he came. He was more thorough in his research of ink and paper.

Ye Muyu did not start writing when he saw the ink.

“May I know what kind of inks the book factory has, Lord Xu?” She asked Xu
