Chapter 484
Xun Yu picked up a page that had just been printed, and looked at it carefully against the light.The handwriting is very clear. Although there is still some gap between the handwriting and the handwriting, it does not affect the reading.
The benefits are obvious. Unavoidable corruption during copying can be basically avoided, and the efficiency is not the same. Large-scale duplication is possible, and the more the more, the more cost-effective.
The enlightenment that the emperor thought of had the possibility of large-scale promotion.
"How?" Mrs. Tang asked with a smile, her eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment.
She completed the task entrusted by the emperor in only half a year, much faster than expected.After consulting a few stele rubbing masters and solving the technical problem of ink, woodblock printing is almost a matter of course.
Since then, Wenxiu Paper Factory has expanded its business, and there is no need to worry about the sales of paper.
"Okay, okay." Xun Yu praised twice and put down the page. "How many copies are generally printed, and the cost will be lower than that of copying?"
"Above two hundred copies is enough, the more the more cost-effective. The cost of printing is very low, mainly due to the trouble of engraving. Even the most skilled craftsman needs two days to engrave a block."
Xun Yu made some calculations. "Then Wenxiu Zhifang will take over the documents issued by the whole county from now on."
"Okay, we'll pay the cost price, and we won't make money from you, so that no one can gossip." Madam Tang said, taking a document from the entourage and handing it to Xun Yu. "Please sign it with your seal, Da Yin."
Xun Yu took a look at the document and couldn't help laughing: "Are you even ready for the contract?"
"I know you're busy, so it's rare to come here, so of course I have to get everything ready." Mrs. Tang said, pushing the pen and ink, and took a box of purple clay.
Xun Yu picked up a pen, signed his name, and took out the seal of Hedong Yin, but he didn't know how to use it.Generally speaking, seals are made on ink pads, but the box of purple clay in front of me is very thin, it doesn't seem like it can be sealed on paper.Mrs. Tang took the seal in his hand, dipped it in the purple mud for a while, then pressed Xun Yu's signature, and carefully shook it twice, and when she lifted the seal, there was a shallow seal on the paper.
"What kind of new mud is this?"
"The ink pad suitable for use on paper is still being tested." Mrs. Tang took a piece of cloth, wiped off the ink pad, and returned it to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu picked up the contract, looked at it repeatedly, and nodded in praise.
The large-scale implementation of paper has indeed brought a lot of convenience, but it is not perfect.One of the problems is that printing has become extremely inconvenient.In the past, sealing clay was used, but sealing clay cannot be used directly on paper, and a wooden box must be added to seal the clay, which is very troublesome.
It will be much more convenient if you can use this kind of ink pad that can be used directly on paper.
"Who came up with it?"
"The workshop signs supply contracts with people, and there are contracts to be signed every day. It is always inconvenient to use boxes. Some people use lip gloss instead. I think it is feasible, so I ordered people to try out this new mud."
Xun Yu couldn't help laughing: "It seems that His Majesty is right. Women may not be as strong as men, but they are not inferior in intelligence. Wenxiu Zhifang has launched new products one after another, which probably has something to do with the number of women in your workshop. This new Do you have any more mud? Give me a box."
Mrs. Tang couldn't help laughing, but she still asked someone to take a box and handed it to Xun Yu. "If you want to use new clay, it is best to use Zhu Wenyin, and the surface of the seal should be smoother, or the surface of the seal will be incomplete. Cast seals are better, and chiseled seals should smooth out the burrs."
Seeing Mrs. Tang talking eloquently, Xun Yu was filled with emotion.The Mrs. Tang in front of him was the woman he was familiar with. She was calm, confident and calm, as if nothing could stop her.
Xun Yu looked around. "There is something I want to hear from you."
Mrs. Tang understood, picked up the contract signed by Xun Yu, and asked the maid to put it away.The maids retreated, and the two walked side by side to the corridor. The winter sun illuminated their faces, but it couldn't erase the worry in Xun Yu's eyes.
"I heard from Wen Qian that you often give her things?"
Mrs. Tang nodded slightly. "This paper workshop is my personal property. I can give it to whoever I want."
"But Wenqian is not just from the Xun family, she is first and foremost a noble person in the womb of heaven." Xun Yu said softly: "The emperor dotes on her more than the queen, which is against the rules. Now she is pregnant again, although [-]% Daughter, but what if it's a son?"
Mrs. Tang was about to speak, when Xun Yu said again: "The Son of Heaven intends to worship Gongda as the protector and control the northern border, and ordered the minister to discuss the powers and responsibilities of the protector."
Mrs. Tang was taken aback, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
Based on her understanding of the emperor.The emperor did not directly issue an edict, but ordered the ministers to discuss it. It was clearly a temptation.
The biggest target of temptation is naturally Xun Yu.
Xun Yu wholeheartedly wanted to promote the kingly way, but to promote the kingly way, he must have the unreserved support of the emperor.And to get the unreserved support of the emperor, the trust of the emperor is inseparable.Anything that affects this trust is something Xun Yu doesn't want.
"Are you worried that your achievements will overwhelm the Lord?"
Xun Yu turned to look at Madam Tang and shook his head. "The Son of Heaven has both elites in his hands. Whose credit can surpass him? I just don't want to create unnecessary complications and cause some people unnecessary fantasies."
Mrs. Tang was a little surprised: "You don't want Wen Qian to become a queen?"
"I don't want to." Xun Yu said without hesitation: "I just hope she is safe. I have already discussed with Fu Wan, and I will send the queen to go."
If Xun Wenqian gave birth to the prince, it would be a good thing for the emperor to have an offspring.But for him, things got complicated.Whether he wants it or not, others will intentionally or unintentionally regard him as the new representative of the Kanto people, and try their best to push him to the position of a supreme minister.
"The queen can't bear that kind of hardship." Mrs. Tang laughed: "It's not the east of the river, the wind and sand are very strong."
"That's what she deserves."
Madam Tang nodded. "I don't care about the affairs of the court. I know about Wen Qian's affairs. When the queen arrives, these contributions will be sent to the queen, and the queen will distribute them."
"It's best like this." Xun Yu let out a sigh of relief. "The empress will leave in ten days, and she must arrive at Xingzai before the New Year to reunite with her majesty. If you have any contribution to send over, you can send it directly to the empress, so as not to cause trouble."
Mrs. Tang glanced at Xun Yu, nodded helplessly, and was about to speak when Xun Yun rushed in quickly, holding a document in his hand.When Xun Yu saw it, he felt his heart tense. This is an urgent document of six hundred miles, and it must have been sent by Xun Zai. There must be something serious.
Xun Yu didn't want to think too much, took the document, quickly opened it, only took a look, and his face changed drastically.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Tang also became nervous.
"Wen Qian gave birth." Xun Yu's voice was hoarse. "It's a boy."
