These transmigrators were easy to look after. They were all mediocre ancients, so they were unlikely to cause any trouble.
Mo Qiong bought the two scholars brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and dictionaries of ancient and modern characters. It barely cost anything.
Even cheap modern paper was high-quality paper in their eyes.
"You can draw?" Mo Qiong asked when he saw the older scholar sketching a map of the island.
"Boss, I studied under the great scholar of Mount Yao..."
"I don't care who you studied under. Draw your father's appearance for me. Make it as detailed as possible," Mo Qiong said.
"Yes..."
The older scholar immediately began drawing. There was no denying that he was excellent, but that style... Mo Qiong simply couldn't reconstruct his father's appearance from it.
If his father had been standing right in front of him, Mo Qiong might have been able to tell from the drawing that they were the same person. But looking only at this brush painting, Mo Qiong was completely helpless.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Qiong said, "I'm giving you another task. Study figure sketching properly. I'll provide you with the relevant materials. Learn to paint truly realistic gongbi paintings."
"I shall obey your command, Boss!" the senior scholar said excitedly.

It was truly an ideal life beyond their wildest dreams.
