"Fourth Brother, are all the books in our Great Zhou hand-copied?"
"Yes, all hand-copied," the Fourth Prince replied. "Copying books like this definitely takes time, but there's no other way."
No other way?
If they had the printing technology from Zhao Yao's dream, they could print many books. Once there are more books, they would become cheaper, allowing many people to afford them.
"Why are you asking this?" the Fourth Prince asked, puzzled.
Zhao Yao smiled slightly, "I just feel you're working too hard copying books every day without making a single mistake."
He continued, "Isn't there a faster way?"
"No, since ancient times, books have been passed down from one generation to the next through copying," the Fourth Prince picked up a hand-copied book beside him and said to Zhao Yao, "Now with paper, copying has gotten much easier. In the past, people had to copy on bamboo slips, which was even more laborious."
