Chapter 70 Stone Tablet Printing Technique

```

The Palace of Versailles lay to the west of Paris, while Saint Antoine Town was in the northeast. To avoid shuttling between the two—which was primarily because he simply couldn't stand the bumps of a carriage ride—Joseph spent the night dealing with business at the President of the Paris Chamber of Commerce's place. The next morning, he headed directly to Saint Antoine Town.

This small suburban town of Paris somewhat resembled a "special economic zone" and was the only place around Paris that wasn't influenced by various guilds. Craftsmen could find work here without having to join any guilds.

As they could save on guild membership fees, the wages that craftsmen expected were slightly lower. A large number of workshops looking to cut costs took root here.

After years of development, Saint Antoine Town was now filled with workshops, gathering thousands of craftsmen and their families.
