Master Liu smiled as he answered his daughter’s question, “Last time Ruo Chuan brought me some food, and mentioned that you all have started using moveable-type printing, which makes copying books quite fast. The other day, I took my students to the county town to attend a poetry meeting and happened to meet a few old friends, so I casually inquired if their academies were looking to buy books, and then I secured three orders for you. It’s not much, just a total of one thousand sets of the Four Books and Five Classics, and nine hundred copies of the ‘Thousand Character Classic’, three hundred sets for each academy, to be delivered before the academies break for the end of the year.
