Hanbo

Chapter 185

Everyone waited for a while, then Mr. Chen frowned and said:

"However, woodblock printing is much more difficult than using seals. Usually, there are no more than ten characters in seals, but this woodblock printing is dozens or hundreds, or even hundreds.

Moreover, the seal is indented, and the font is easy to get.

The engraving block that Junhou needs is a style with protruding fonts, so how can the fonts in it be flat, the little old man is really a little embarrassed! "

Huo Shan nodded and said:
"That is indeed the case. I wonder if Mr. Chen has a solution?"

Chen Lao ignored Huo Shan, but frowned and thought, and showed the album in his hand to others.

Huo Shan and the others didn't stop them, and it didn't matter if the engraving and printing spread.

The most important thing in the process of printing books is paper. Without paper, even if you have printing, what is the use?

That's why Huo Shan said at the beginning that they can go back after they finish.

They can go back when they're done, but those who make paper are different.

They may stay here for the next few years, or even ten or decades.

Such a large manor, as well as the surrounding fields, are for them and their families.

After the others finished watching, they also started discussing with Mr. Chen. After the discussion, Mr. Chen's frown gradually relaxed.

After a while, they finished their discussion. Old Chen saluted and said:
"Hui Junhou, I can do it."

"How long will it take?"

Huo Shan's style of doing things is like this, no matter what method you use, I just want to know if it can be done, how long it will take, and how many things.

Old Chen thought about it carefully, and said confidently:

"Hui Junhou, there are enough people, enough to give the little old man ten days, but it is estimated that a lot of materials will be consumed for the experiment."

Huo Shan waved his hand and said grandly:
"Don't be afraid of spending money. There are more than 500 million gold in the treasury of the Shaofu. Can Mr. Chen spend it all?"

Chen Lao smiled and cupped his hands:

"Of course it can't."

Old Chen never thought that Huo Shan would refuse.

Ever since Huo Shan took charge of the Shaofu, they have never been short of money in these areas.

And there is still a sum of money for them to spend every month to do their favorite research.

Although they took out some old things, they failed to research any good things.

But Huo Shan has never cut off this money, so he is not worried at all.

I say this here just because I am afraid that someone will say gossip, such as another big force of Shaofu artisans, the public losers.

It's better to talk about it in this formal occasion, lest others make trouble.

Speaking of this matter, Huo Shan and Liu Che laughed from ear to ear.

For this reason, Chen Lao pulled many old brothers and little brothers.

Shaofu is now a veritable stronghold of the Mohist school, and it has attracted the attention of Taixue a few years ago.

The Mohists are not only great at craftsmen, as one of the two great schools of thought on par with Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, they also have their own ideas of governing the country.

Taixue also approached the Mo family in Shaofu, but was blocked by Huo Shan.

Mr. Chen is also a discerning person. He knows that Confucianism is powerful now, and it is impossible for Mohism to rise to the top.

He also knew that Huo Shan and Liu Che only needed craftsmen from the Mo family.

So he went to Shaofu to recruit people, all of whom were craftsmen who were familiar with him, not others.

In fact, from the perspective of Confucianism, the only threats to them are Mohism and Legalism.

Huang Lao has proved that they are not suitable for this era.

Most of Legalism has been integrated into Confucianism, and there is no threat, so only Mohism remains.

In the past, the two schools of Confucianism and Mohism, although they were called prominent schools, were only offered at a high level, and no one used them to govern the country.

Until Dong Zhongshu came out of Confucianism, and he gained momentum in one fell swoop.

And if the Mohist also had a Dong Zhongshu, and with Huo Shan's help, it would be inevitable, and his Confucianism would really be over.

In their view, Liu Che is already old, and the era of Liu Zheng and Huo Shan will follow.

Therefore, Gu Liang selected Liu Shi in advance, and Gongyang Ru got involved with Huo Guang, and Huo Shan followed, and everyone was happy.

However, although Liu Ju is the crown prince, he is not counted enough in front of Huo Shan, after all he is Liu Che's crown prince.

And the sudden appearance of the Mohists really made everyone in the Confucianism terrified.

Although they had serious internal strife, that was when there was no threat from outsiders.

The sudden appearance of the Mo family, they are really afraid that the Mo family will rise.

After all, they also knew Liu Che very well.

In their view, Liu Che is a natural beneficiary.

If there is a better method, he will definitely abandon the better one he is using now.

Mohism and Confucianism were equally famous at the beginning, and Confucianism would not underestimate the background. Who knows if there will be Dong Zhongshu.

And then Huo Shan took out the "Thousand Characters", and his relationship with Gongyang Confucianism, the gang of Taixue, greatly increased.

In their view, it was obvious that Huo Shan was closer to Confucianism, which reassured them a lot.

And after their investigation, it was found that those who went to the Shaofu were all Mohist artisans.

Therefore, based on these two reasons, the Mohists guessed that Huo Shan was in the ascendant. In their opinion, the problem was not a big deal, and the matter was left as it is.

The relationship between Confucianism and Mohism has also improved a lot.

And this kind of thing is really complicated and contradictory.

For example, Huo Shan and Gu Liang, whether they should deal with each other or deal with them, if they want to do something wrong, they will do something wrong, but if they want to flatter Gu Liang, they will still flatter, once Huo Shan asks, they will definitely help.

But Huo Shan never looked at Gu Liang directly, and he didn't clean it up because he didn't have time.

For him now, Gu Liang is someone who can be easily bullied.

If Huo Shan wants to kick Gu Liang out of Bowang Garden, then he will kick it.

Liu Ju will definitely stop it, but can he stop it?He couldn't stop it.

Liu Che won't meddle too much, if Huo Shan deals with Gongyang Ru, he might come out to meddle!
Gu Liang?what is that?He could never let these little things go out of his eyes.

What made Liu Che and Huo Shan laugh from ear to ear was not the fact that the Mohists came to oppose Confucianism.

The two of them didn't think about using Mohism, and Mohism couldn't be the opponent of Confucianism.

So what if the Confucian family is independent?

Under Liu Che, Confucianism is just a tool.

And Huo Shan didn't want to engage in any kind of contention.

In his opinion, it is a very good thing to spread the cultural concepts of various schools.

But let them go to the management level, Huo Shan said, forget it.

The concept of great unification has finally become popular among the people, and he doesn't want to show it in the scene of internal fighting among various Chinese families.

Confucianism is pretty good, Huo Shan doesn't see that far, all he can do is to set a certain course, as for going astray in the future...

China has never been short of outstanding people since ancient times, and there are people who will set things right.

Focus on the present is the business!

However, these talents are still very useful.

The craftsman talents of the Mohist School and the Gongshu School, the diplomatic talents of the Strategist School, the general talents of the Military School, and famous scholars can all be used in newspapers in the future.

Even the talents of the Yin Yang family can observe the sky.

As for how to use them, we will talk about it later, take your time.

And what made Liu Che and Huo Shan laugh from ear to ear was the continuous flow of craftsmen from the Mo family and the Gongshu family into the Shaofu.

Mr. Chen of the Mo family recruited talents, and the old man of the public loser saw it, this is not good, your Mo family wants to suppress my public loser?

You pull and I pull too.

The public losers are the descendants of Lu Ban, and not everyone in the public loser family has the surname Gongshu, and there are many disciples with his surname.

They are different from the Mohists, they are a family of pure craftsmen.

And these kind of families are not so mysterious.

They can be understood as individual schools, and Dahan is the group, and Shaofu is the private branch of the chairman of the Mo University and Gongshu University.

Originally, because of Dahan Group's philosophy, their professional talents were not useful, so they usually stayed in school to teach after graduation.

And talents are also arrogant. If the group needs them, they will not come.

Come and go when called, what do you think of me?

And your salary is not good, and your life is not enough, how can you do research?
Even though we don't have the money to do it ourselves...

Moreover, if you enter the group, you may offend people with a single sentence, and your life will be gone in an instant, so naturally you don't want to join the group.

Huo Shan, a family figure at the top of the group, is related to the chairman and general manager, and a large number of middle-level people are his subordinates.

And such a person suddenly came to the Shaofu branch, the salary was improved, and there was funding for research.

Those who stayed at the school to teach were skeptical at first, but some big bosses who joined the Shaofu branch suddenly spoke out because of compromise.

"Everything is true, come quickly, dear ones!"

They just started to think carefully.

With this treatment, and the protection of such a top person in the group, life is not a problem, and you can do unlimited research...

This, this, this is a fool!
So part of the Mo University came.

When Gongshu University saw it, it was only such a market, and you couldn’t let it all be snatched up, so I would also come to Gongshu University.

After such a scramble, all the talents from the two universities came.

Although they have been here for several years, and their new research has not produced any good products, they are two universities with frequent ancestors.

Then, in order to thank Huo Shan, he was also influenced by the selfless dedication of Huo Shan, who taught them the craftsmanship for free.

So I took out some inheritance left by my ancestors, which I was unwilling to take out before.

They also improved the cloud chariots for siege, improved carriages, and everything that seemed backward to them.

And this really made Chairman Liu Che see the role of craftsmen.

And this is the reason why Liu Che and Huo Shan couldn't smile from ear to ear.

Chairman Liu Che also no longer talked about Huo Shan's wanton spending of his money without a chance.

.........

"Okay, then I'll come back in ten days. Woodblock printing is just an appetizer. It's just for you to practice. I have better things."

Old Chen looked happy, and then asked excitedly:
"There are better ones."

Huo Shan nodded with a smile on his face:

"Indeed, there is, but I can't tell you. I will give it to you after you have mastered the engraving and printing.

However, I can tell you the name first, it is called movable type printing. "

After speaking, Huo Shan turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Huo Shan who left, Mr. Chen complained in his heart:
'Before I left, you still tempted me, an old man, hum, it's very bad! '

　Late, late, sorry! ╰(*︶`*)╯
