    Su Binn was surprised to hear that. “That’s an impressive idea. I didn’t expect Gongsun MO to think of that. How’s the toy factory doing?”


    Shen Qiuhua said excitedly, “It’s doing very well. When the first batch of toys came out, people rushed to buy them.”<div>


    Su Fengmao smiled, adding, “Gongsun MO didn’t show the toys to the foreign merchants after making them. Instead, he set up a stall at the vige entrance to sell his toys.


    “l didn’t expect so many children to like his toys so much. Even the adults liked them. Since the prices were affordable, people bought many of them. Gongsun MO sold out on the first day.”


    Shen Qiuhua said, “It wasn’t even a proper stall. Gonsun MO only set up a few tables and chairs. He even offered the children and their parents to test the toys for free.”


    Su Binn lit up, asking, “Who came up with that idea?”


    Letting the parents and children y together would make a family more harmonious. The parents also realized how educational the toys were since they had words engraved on them.


    Su Binn did not tell Gongsun MO how to sell the toys because she was in a hurry to go to the prefecture. She was impressed that Gongsun MO figured it out himself.


    Shen Qiuhua said, “Gongsun MO hired a manager named Su Zuo.”


    Su Zuo was one of Su Binn’s Sacrificials. The former was part of a team Su


    Yi had trained.


    Since Su Binn needed many management talents, Su Yi and the other Sacrificials set up taverns in various ces to build an informationwork. Only those whom Su Yi trained could work in these taverns.


    Su Binn had met Su Yi’s apprentices before, but she did not expect Su Zuo to be so clever. Su Binn said, “Let’s check out the toy factory tomorrow.”<div>


    “You’ll be surprised tomorrow,” Su Wenzhe said smilingly, “People from wealthy families send their family members to the factory to buy toys. Some foreign merchants also buy the toys in bulk and sell them elsewhere.


    “Although the factory can barely keep up with the demand, the factory doesn’t sacrifice quality for quantity. No one expected these toys to be so popr.”


    Shen Qiuhua said, “Parents won’t buy anything for themselves but would buy anything their children want. Also, Gongsun Mo’ s toys can develop a child’s intelligence.”


    Liu Yinyin nodded. “You’re right, Mother-inw. It’s just like how I treat my sons. If Binn hadn’t pushed Gongsun MO to open a factory, I would have bought whatever my sons wanted from the market.”


    Su Binn was relieved with how popr the toys were.


    After some thought, Shen Qiuhua said, “Binn, I took the initiative to give Meng Bin a set of toys.”


    Meng Bing was Meng Ce l s son, and thetter was the county magistrate. Because Su Binn saved Meng Bin, Old Madam Feng took great care of the Su family.


    Therefore, the Su family had an easier time buyingnd and opening shops. Shen Qiuhua remembered Old Madam Fengs kindness, so she got someone to send a set of toys over.


    Su Binn smiled. “You’re so thoughtful, Mother. You can do these things without telling me.”


    “Okay, I understand.” Although Shen Qiuhua agreed, she knew the factory belonged to her daughter. Therefore, she had to tell her daughter about what went in and out of the factory.


    After discussing the toy factory, Shen Qiuhua changed the topic, “Binn, what do we need to do for the printing factory? Must we wait for the retired soldiers’ family members to arrive before we get started?”<div>


    Su Binn said, “The factory needs reverse alphabet stamps. We’ll arrange the letters when we need to print books and articles.


    “That way, we can mass-produce the books. It’s much more convenient than handwriting copies of books. It’ll also reduce the risks of mistakes.”


    One of the reasons books were precious in this era was because copying them was cumbersome. Sometimes, the copy would have mistakespared to the original.


    Only schrs from poor families could copy books. Even so, it was time-consuming.


    “With movable type printing, we can reproduce countless books in practically no time. Afterward, we can build and fill up the library. There are valuable books we can reproduce with arge amount of money.


    “Then, we can sell some in bookstores and ce some in the library for people to read. It will also reduce the price of books, and many more people can afford to educate themselves.’


    The Su family looked at Su Binn admiringly as she spoke. They could imagine how many schrs would benefit from her printing technique. She opened a factory and workshop that was rted to business.


    Schrs had high status in this era, while businesspeople did not. If Su Binn could create paper and printing, she would surpass a businessperson’s status and create convenience for schrs.


    Then, schrs would have a strong impression of the Su family. Of course, the family did not care much about status. They only wanted to do good for the people.


    Since Lan Ruozhu had taken Su Binn as his adopted sister, she gained princess status. The family feared there would be controversy if others found out about it.


    People would begin to wonder how a vige girl could be a princess. However, all the students in the world would defend Su Binn if she made significant contributions to their studies. Their strength would be so great that others would be unable to refute them.


    Su Wenzhe sighed in relief. “l still have the best sister around. 1 could never think of such a thing even in a thousand years.”


    Shen Qiuhua grew excited, saying, “Binn, can we watch you do that printing technique you mentioned?”


    Although she said it out loud, she still found it unbelievable. Still, Su Binn said, “Of course you can.”


    Su Wenxiu lit up. “Sister, my students will no longer have to copy my notes one at a time.. We can use the printer to make copies of my notes, right?”
