Reborn Primitive Age

Chapter 698

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and Gongliang took Migu and the others to the printing shop early in the morning.

Walking through Dongshi, just as he saw the printing shop, he saw a clerk in the shop standing at the door and looking around furtively.

Spotting Gongliang, the guy immediately turned around and walked in.

After a while, the head of the printing company came out respectfully following behind a rich old man.

The head of the printing company introduced to Gongliang: "Young master, this is my boss, Luyi Chengqiuzhong."

Gongliang has read many books on the historical records of Daxia, and he also knows some ancient surnames of Daxia.For example, Chengqiu is a very ancient surname, which existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Great Xia Dynasty. The legend is that it was passed down from ancient times.

Hearing this, Gongliang cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my master."

"My lord, you are polite, please come inside." Chengqiu said with a heavy smile.

When the head of the printing house heard this, he hurriedly led the way.

Entering the printing shop and walking to the reception hall inside, there are several pretty maids serving melons, fruits and fragrant tea.

Chengqiu picked up the teacup again, and signaled: "Young master, please."

Gong Liang picked up the tea next to him and drank it, but Migu and the others had no tea to drink, and they dismissed the ordinary fruit on the table.So Mi Gu sat obediently in Papa's arms, while Yuan Gun Gun lay quietly beside her.

After three cups of tea, Chengqiu Chong just put down the teacup and said, "The day before yesterday Liu Yong came back to the mansion and told me about your son's printing of books. I picked up the manuscript and looked at it, only to realize that you were so abrupt. This old man is very special today. I am here to apologize for him."

From the moment he entered the door, Gongliang felt that Chengqiu Zhong and the printing company were in charge of strange things, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd.

But it's not a matter of life and death, so I spend time with them.

Hearing what Chengqiu Zhong said at this time, he quickly said: "It's just a business, what's the crime? My boss is being polite."

"Young master writes such a good book, even if I let my printing company spend all the printing, it is only natural. He is guilty of asking for your money." Cheng Qiu turned his head and shouted at the head of the printing company who was standing stupidly next to him: "Stand What are you doing there, hurry up and take out the young master's spirit stone."

The person in charge of the printing company just woke up like a dream, turned around and went inside.

If it weren't for Gongliang himself who wrote books, was good at pondering, and had been influenced by a lot of movies in his previous life, he would have thought that Cheng Qiuzhong was really reprimanding the printing industry.

Actually no, the two are just cooperating with each other.

Just to be honest, the cooperation between the two is very good.If Gongliang hadn't been watching, he would have been almost fooled by them.According to his estimation, if the two of them transmigrated to act in his previous life, it is estimated that the actor or something would not do other people's business.

After a while, the head of the printing house took out a plate from the inside, on which were neatly placed the spirit stones engraved by Gong Liangfu.

"My lord, this is your spirit stone, please take it back."

"What's going on, isn't this what I paid for the engraving?" Gong Liang asked in surprise.

Hearing the words, the head of the printing company said, "How can I get you to pay the money? If you really let you out, and people listen to it, you won't break the backbone of our printing company. Don't say that you let this masterpiece go. The kindness of printing in our bank, that is to say, the movable type printing technology passed down to us by the young master, is inexhaustible, and the money should be paid. What's more, the money is not paid by our family alone, but by Longcheng Printing Co., Ltd. to thank the young master for passing on the art A little thought."

Speaking of this, Gongliang felt embarrassed if he didn't accept it, so he simply put away the spirit stone.

After he put it away, the head of the printing office took out another rough-bound book, and said, "Look, my lord, this was printed overnight, what do you think?"

Gong Liang took it and looked at it, then nodded in satisfaction, "Have I asked you to find a painter? This book must contain illustrations before it can be sold outside."

"Don't worry, my lord, you are satisfied with the small work bag."

The manager said with a smile: "But we will discuss this matter later, young master, please take a look at this."

Gong Liang heard the words and looked around, and saw him take out a piece of paper from his pocket, the paper was full of handwriting, it looked neater and much smaller than the engraving.

"This is" Gongliang said strangely.

"This is the movable type printing technique that the young master passed on to us. This is just a pre-engraved page, and there will be more in the future."

"You guys carved it so quickly." Gong Liang said in surprise.

"Engraving is easy. As long as you have money, you can engrave as much as you want. The little one has already printed a page with movable type, and this movable type printing is indeed much easier to use than that engraving. Here, the little old man would like to thank you son .Young master, this technique has undoubtedly saved a lot of expenses for my printing company, and it has also won more reading opportunities for scholars all over the world."

What Liu Yong said is correct. In the past, although books could be printed by engraving, the price of printed books was relatively high.

As a result, the children of the poor family have no money to buy and no books to read, so that the children of the poor family will never have a bright future.

The movable type printing technique handed down by Gongliang saved a lot of money for printing.The price of books will naturally change, and the things sold will naturally become cheaper.The price of books has also come down.

This time, because of Gongliang's teaching of movable type printing, the printing industry has gained a lot of benefits, and has faintly become the leader in the printing industry.

It was also because of this that the owner of the printing company came here to wait for Gongliang to show up and return the Lingshi to him.

Of course, he didn't just come here for this matter.

Cheng Qiuzhong has been like an invisible person, drinking tea silently beside him, and when they finished talking, he said with a smile: "I read the master's masterpiece the day before yesterday, and I was shocked by it. Someone to sell this book? To find someone, you need to find a business with a good reputation and run it well, otherwise, even if it is a good book, not many people may read it at the beginning, and it is a waste of time."

Hearing this, Gongliang shook his head and said, "I didn't find someone to operate it at this time, I just found a store in Dongshi to help sell things."

"How can I do this? I don't know how much profit I will let those shops eat in the middle of it. If you can trust the little old man, you might as well entrust me to operate at this time. The money you will earn will definitely be better than selling it in that shop." much better."

"It's not that I can't trust my boss, it's just that I have already made an agreement with him first, so I won't go back on my word."

When Cheng Qiuzhong heard Gongliang's words, he and Liu Yong quickly looked at each other, frowning slightly.

Originally, I wanted to take over the publication of this book. As long as the book is sold, the reputation of my printing house and the money I earn will increase exponentially. Now it seems that this is not possible, and I have to find another way.

Gongliang thought for a while in a dilemma, and then said: "Although Dragon City is not good, but places outside Dragon City can be sold by the owner."

Cheng Qiuzhong didn't expect such a good thing to happen, so he hurriedly asked, "Master, you are serious."

"nature."

Gongliang nodded, and said: "My boss should know that I don't print and sell books to make money, but to spread the book. I can make an agreement with my boss that each book will deduct the cost, and I will only charge two layers. Profit. But there is a condition, that is to spread the book I wrote as quickly as possible, spread it throughout the Great Xia, spread it throughout the East, and spread it to every corner of the world.”

When Cheng Qiu heard the words, he didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously, his eyes sparkled.

After a while, he stood up from his seat, bowed his hands to Gongliang and said, "As you wish."

Until now, he has put Gongliang on the same level as himself, otherwise Cheng Qiuzhong just treated him as a stunned young man and treated him politely.
