Datang first village

Today, I would like to thank the friends who gave the rewards. After writing for so long, I didn’t specifically thank everyone. I’m sorry.

——————————————————————————————————

Can't be comforted!So, just harden your heart.This was the first time Li Yuanxing hardened his heart in front of the girls.In order not to reveal his cover-up, Li Yuanxing immediately changed the topic.

"For a book, this king wants you to reduce the price of the book to thirty yuan. Is it possible!"

The third daughter was dumbfounded. Thirty Wen, this price is too low.

The three women all seek advice from the person behind them, who is the shopkeeper and manager they brought.Now is the time for these people to give their ideas and figure out how to do it.

Wang Yuyan's side was the first to react, and a shopkeeper stood up: "Your Highness, forty renminbi is only enough for the price of a printing plate. Such a book needs forty pages according to the number of characters, not to mention the cost of paper." , to print 30 volumes, the printing plate alone costs 45 texts, and each book is divided into more than [-] printing plates, plus labor, ink, and paper. The cost of a book needs [-] About pennies."

Li Yuanxing listened silently and nodded slightly.

Qiuxue of the Lu family had already lost a round just now, and this time the shopkeeper of the family also came out and said.

"Your Highness, if you use this kind of paper, you can't find the small ones, and you can't make them. Moreover, the font of this book is extremely small, and the whole book has about 35 characters. Therefore, according to the existing technology, each printing plate, that is, Around 35 characters, this book has only [-] pages of text, and I dare not add pictures, because the cost of engraving with pictures is too high. Therefore, the cost of this book is [-] words.”

"The cost is 35 Wen!" Li Yuanxing nodded, indicating to continue.

"Your Highness, the entire Analects of Confucius is more than 1000 characters. After all the costs, it is more than 150 Wen. The fine print needs at least [-] Wen. Including the store's expenses, selling [-] Wen is already a very reasonable price! "

The two shopkeepers did not dare to sit down after speaking, but stood there bowed.Now that two people have spoken, the Wang family can't say anything better than these two shopkeepers. Too much nonsense is not a good thing in front of King Qin, so the Wang family did not stand up.

Li Yuanxing knocked on the table and counted in his mouth: "It's expensive, this is already the price of dozens of buckets of rice!"

The three women looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer these words.

Li Yuanxing patted the table lightly: "General Li, this king will give you a death order. After a while, I will show you something. One of the foreigners saw it and killed one. Two people saw it and killed one. Who dares to let you die?" When the aliens saw it, they killed his whole family."

"Respect King Qin's order!" Li Zhang stood up, at this moment he finally understood.The memorial is simply a trivial matter, and he doesn't need to write it. It's enough for the King of Qin to tell His Majesty the Emperor.Right now is the business. No one in the entire Qin Wang Zhuang called Qin Wang benevolent. Even Qin Wang said that he would kill the whole family, which is naturally not a trivial matter.

"Old wolf!" Li Yuanxing nodded.

The old wolf stood up and clapped his hands. Four sergeants brought in a long table, which was several times bigger than the tables, and it was placed in the middle of the tent.

Then some sergeants came in and put some wooden boxes on the ground.

The old wolf waved his hand to signal the sergeants to go out, then put a wooden board on the table, and put a wooden frame on it. When continuing the axis, the old wolf was so clumsy that he couldn't assemble it for a long time.

Li Yuanxing kicked the old wolf: "Go and call the foreman, Lao Bai!"

The old wolf was about to respond, but he heard Wang Yuyan say: "Why don't you let my shopkeeper try!"

"Come on!" Li Yuanxing waved his hand, unbuttoning his clothes, and when he was about to throw them aside, Cui Yingying's two maids took the clothes.Li Yuanxing actually didn't like this set of several layers, even if it was silk, it was very hot, so he took off his outer shirt, leaving only a short shirt inside.

For a prince, this is already a disgrace.

The thing was finally installed, and Li Yuanxing picked up another bamboo tube on the ground, and pulled out a piece of wax paper inside.I was going to tighten the wax paper on the wooden frame, but Li Yuanxing's workmanship was not much better than Lao Lang's, and the wax paper always felt a little wrinkled.

"Your Highness, let me do it!" Wang Yuyan was dexterous, and besides, this thing was much easier than stretching silk for embroidery. After Wang Yuyan took over, the wax paper was stretched flat in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuanxing took out a roller, stuck it with ink, then spread a piece of white paper on the wooden board, pressed the wax paper on it, brushed the roller lightly twice, and then picked up the wax paper.A pair of words appeared on the white paper below, a total of [-] characters, and it was written about the day of hoeing, sweat dripping down the soil, who knows that the food on the plate is hard work.

His handwriting is not very good, and Li Yuanxing's ability to practice calligraphy is still far behind.

It's just that the three girls are much smarter than Li Yuanxing.

But this poem is excellent.The simple twenty words describe the suffering of farming.Cui Yingying also came to the case, took the paper from Li Yuanxing's hand and read it once, and said: "Your Highness is pitying the peasants, this poem should be passed down through the ages!"

"Another stupid girl." Li Yuanxing cursed again with a smile, and Cui Yingying's face turned red.

This time Wang Yuyan really thought that he had the upper hand, and immediately said: "Your Highness is talking about the printing technique, but it is very clever."

"If you don't print much, this thing can be used. Print some three-character scriptures for the dolls in the village. This one stencil is enough to print hundreds of copies, and three or five stencils are enough for the dolls in the village." Li Yuanxing first What I thought of was the dolls in the village, not the nephews in the palace.

A shopkeeper also tried, this method is extremely clever.

But they didn't exclaim in alarm, and they didn't flatter Li Yuanxing. After coming in for a while, from Lizheng's way of speaking, they knew that King Qin paid attention to talent, ability, and people who did practical things.King Qin would hate people who are only good at flattering, they are here to support their master, so be careful about what they say and do.

Even if this new printing method makes them excited like seeing a silver mountain.All must remain calm.

"Your Highness, it seems that the printed word is not easy to maintain, and the ink will stick to your hands!" A shopkeeper boldly raised his opinion.

All the shopkeepers, including the three girls, held their breath, waiting for how Li Yuanxing would react.

Li Yuanxing looked the shopkeeper up and down, which made everyone even more nervous.

The shopkeeper felt his legs go weak, and being looked at by King Qin like this, the next step was probably to punish him.

Li Yuanxing suddenly stretched out his hand, and patted the master's shoulder heavily: "Okay!" The shopkeeper felt that his soul image had flown to nine days, and was pulled back by a good word, and he really broke out in a sweat. .

Li Yuanxing continued: "This thing is such a troublesome thing, and it will take your efforts to ask you to come here. Just say this wax paper, can it be made better? Is it more economical? Can it be used more times? Besides How can this ink be better, how can it not stick to your hands. You..." Li Yuanxing picked up the one printed by Cui Yingying just now, and gestured a few times: "Go and find a way, I just want results."

"Yes!" Li Yuanxing had already proposed a plan, and what they had to do was to optimize it.

It is a joke for someone who has been the shopkeeper of the study for decades to not understand printing.What's more, they have enough craftsmen, and they will definitely come up with a solution.

Li Yuanxing looked back at the little eunuch: "You, you have to do a good job in communicating with the study in the future!"

The little eunuch fell to his knees, unable to say a word, just kowtowed.

Li Yuanxing ignored the little eunuch, he was already somewhat used to how these people went crazy with excitement.Turning to Li Chang, he said, "General Li, is this worth killing?"

"It's worth it!" Li Chang understood that Li Yuanxing didn't like the fact that foreigners learned the great things of Tang Dynasty.Even if this thing is very ordinary, he will answer that it is worth killing.

Li Yuanxing was very proud: "This is actually the simplest. Now let's show you the artifact!"

It is not realistic to bring the printer back to Datang.However, there is still no problem with a box of lead type. There are [-] commonly used Chinese characters, plus [-] frequently used characters with high consumption, and then [-] blank spaces and punctuation. , because the font is just the modern size five.

For Datang, this is too small.

Li Yuanxing was good at cutting people in modern times, but in Datang, his level of cutting people was not good.Li Yuanxing couldn't do this fine typesetting work, and he couldn't do it better than Lao Lang.

In the end, Li Yuanxing directly took out a full page and stuffed it into the impression.

"Anyway, it's like this, just print it." The ink used for lead printing is even more special. Li Yuanxing only brought a small bottle, and after applying it, he took a piece of modern A4 paper to try it out, and the paper was full. Eight hundred characters appeared.

Although there is no typesetting and no format, it represents a kind of innovation.

All the shopkeepers knelt down, they could no longer use words to describe what they saw with their eyes, the fingers of the three women were trembling as they pointed at the template, they knew very well in their hearts that a book of thirty texts was no longer Li Yuanxing's random words jokes, with this everything can become real.

Moreover, they will have double the profit.

How many literati and inkmen want to write books, but they can't save enough money to engrave them all their lives.

Now with King Qin's clever method, anyone can print their own theories into books.

There will be more scholars in Datang.

Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders: "This king asked you to come here, you didn't run in vain, right. Now you understand what this king wants!"

"Return to Your Highness, I will understand!" All the shopkeepers replied in unison.

Only then did Li Yuanxing notice that among the eleven storekeepers who came, nine were already crying.Li Yuanxing pulled up the person closest to him with concern: "Why are you crying, please tell me if you have any difficulties."

"My lord!" The one who cried even worse.But the person behind him said: "When I was young, my family was poor and had no books to read. We couldn't afford books, and we couldn't copy books. At this time, I saw that students from poor families all over the world had books to read. I am grateful to His Royal Highness King Qin for his kindness. Divine skills imparted."

Li Yuanxing understood, this is a big emotion!
