Chapter 149 The Inheritance of Knowledge

Originally, it was nothing to talk about to relieve Li Yuan's boredom, but unexpectedly, Li Yuan quickly became addicted.Mr. Luo Guanzhong's strength is strong, and a wave of Romance of the Three Kingdoms spread like wildfire in Jinyang Left Behind Mansion.

In the beginning, Li Yuan was the only one listening, but when the Shichang Attendant killed He Jin, Li Er sneaked in.It is said that the father is sick and no one is there to take care of him, so he has to be filial.Within two days, Chai Shao also came over.When Li Xiaosan and Li Xiaosi tried their best to open the window and look at the door, Li Yuan moved the place from the study to the front hall.

Yun Hao stood behind the table, and covered the table in front of him with a cloth.Fan Xingmu Yuzi has everything available, and there is no towel in this year, but the careful eldest grandson found a piece of snow-white cotton cloth to replace it.As a contributor to Baibu, she has a seat next to Li Er.Behind her, sat Changsun Wuji with bruises and purples on his face.After this guy got frostbite, although the frostbite on his face healed, it left some sequelae.Lao Sun said that this symptom will disappear automatically after three to five years!
"Crack...!" Xingmu clapped, and Yunhao stood behind the table, only needing a robe.

It is said, "Guan Yunchang thanked Cao Cao for the glass of wine, and holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife, he went straight to the front of the two armies and shouted: Come and pass the name!"

The amateur cultural life of the Sui Dynasty was boring, even for the nobles.The Li family has this kind of program, which naturally attracts many people.As the relationship between Li Yuan and Yang Guang warmed up, Gao Junya and Wang Wei visited the house from time to time.It's just that every time I rush to visit Yunhao when he is telling a book, and he doesn't leave when he sits.As long as Yun Hao didn't finish speaking, the two brothers' butts would stick to the chair like glue.

It's not just the nobles who feel boring, but also the servants.The servants who served in the hall began to spread quietly, and then spread to the common people in the market.It wasn't until the whole Jinyang was talking about Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Yun Hao wanted to cry but had no tears.How to calculate the copyright fee of the motherfucker...!
Nemesis!In my previous life, all the novels I read on the Qidian Chinese website were pirated versions. Now that I have been pirated, I can only knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

Seeing the pirated copies all over the world, Yunhao lost the mood of storytelling for a few days.But thinking about Mr. Luo Guanzhong, Yun Hao's mood immediately improved.

The old man Taizu said that the economic law cannot be defeated with a stick.Yun Hao, who has a highly developed economic mind, immediately thinks of ways to make money as soon as he rolls his eyes.Of course, eating alone will choke to death.Yunhao naturally found a reliable partner, Chai Shao and Li Er.

"What? You want to publish "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a book and sell it everywhere in the Sui Dynasty?" Chai Shao widened his eyes, looking at Yunhao as if he saw a ghost.

"Is there any problem with this?" Yun Hao was a little puzzled. He had read a lot in his previous life.I have also seen the comic strips of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which are very attractive with both pictures and texts.The existence of comic books has greatly enriched my childhood.

"Cough...! Do you know how much it costs for a positive edition? Even if it is a negative engraving, it will cost a lot of money to print a Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Not to mention, you want to print both pictures and texts." Li Er said, what is Yunhao? young.Thinking about it is a big thing like printing a book.It would cost the manpower, material and financial resources of the old nose, and Yunhao had been talking for more than three months.I just talked about Zhuge Kongming's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians, and it is said that I can talk about it for another year.To print such a book, I am afraid that the treasury of the Sui Dynasty must be emptied.

Yun Hao smacked his forehead, there is no computer typesetting in this year, not even copperplate printing.All books are engraved with Yin engraving and Yang engraving. A skilled craftsman can only engrave one block a day.If he really wanted to engrave the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yun Hao might have to borrow another 500 years from the sky.

"Forget about it! I don't know why you got into money at such a young age and came up with such a way to make money. Ha ha!" Seeing Yun Hao scratching his head, Li Er laughed immediately.This kid is as shrewd as a hozen, and there are not many times when he can be deflated.Li Er and Chai Shao glanced at each other, they both liked seeing Yun Hao deflated.

It's okay for them to laugh, but Changsun Wuji with a messy face looks like a nightshade when he smiles.Yun Hao kicked Changsun Wuji in disgust. This guy seemed to be infected by Hou Junji.He didn't get angry when Yun Hao kicked him, and he watched Yun Hao jumping like a monkey.

"You mean that the so-called difficulty lies in engraving?" Yun Hao asked seriously as he looked at the three people who were laughing like convulsions.

"Yes, it's about engraving. If you want to make money, don't be a moth. It's better to compose the following book obediently and make us happy." Chai Shao stopped laughing and said to Yunhao.

"If the boy can solve the problem of typesetting, will there be no problem in publishing books?" Yun Hao looked at the three guys and asked. The publishing industry in this era is almost zero.Thinking that he was going to become the originator of the world's publishing industry, Yun Hao felt warm in his heart.The number one in the world, I will be sure.

"Cough, cough, cough...!" Li Er laughed violently just now, but now he was choking too quickly, coughing and blushing.

"You said you could solve the engraving problem?" Chai Shao stopped laughing and looked at Yunhao.I have seen Yunhao's serious appearance before, as long as he is serious.So far, there is nothing he can't solve.

"Yeah!" Yun Hao nodded.Walking to the desk, he stretched out his hand to Li Eryi.

"What are you doing!" Li Er asked puzzledly.

"Second Lord will use Yun Hao's private seal, and the official Chai's." This year, menstruation documents must be signed and stamped, and people with status naturally cannot poke around with their fingers.Most of the personal seals are carried with you.If you need to sign and draw a deposit, it is very cool to take out a valuable seal.Dip the inkpad and cover it on the paper, with a face full of arrogance and pride.

Li Er and Chai Shao handed their private seals to Yun Hao suspiciously, only to see that Yun Hao tied Chai Shao and Li Er's private seals together with a small rope.Dip it in inkpad and cover it twice on the paper.He looked up at Li Er and Chai Shao who were confused, and covered them twice.

Naturally, Tian Khan and General Zhen Guo were not idiots, when Yun Hao covered him for the third time.Chai Shao's eyes suddenly lit up, and Li Er who was beside him moved faster.Pulling Yunhao over, he studied Yunhao's head carefully.There is an urge to split!
"How does this kid's head grow? It's such a simple thing. No one thought of it for hundreds of years. Everyone is stupid." Li Er's eyes are not X-ray machines, so naturally he can't figure out why. Come.

"There are only a few Chinese characters in total, excluding rare characters. In fact, there are fewer commonly used characters, as long as the same size is carved out of wood. There is no problem in printing any books. Moreover, these fonts can be reused. If it is properly maintained, the hardwood type models will last for ten or eight years without any problem at all." Movable type printing uses clay molds, but Yun Hao thinks that after the clay molds are made, they need to be fired.It is far worse than directly engraving wooden movable type, anyway, craftsmen are ready-made.As long as the Wanba characters are engraved, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should be printed.

"This can be done!" Compared with carving blocks of woodblocks, it is not a big problem to make ten thousand wooden movable type.As long as enough craftsmen are recruited, it can be completed in about a month or two.With the current financial resources of the Li family and the Yun family, there is absolutely no problem at all.

Yunhao smiled wickedly, as if he saw mountains of copper coins in front of his eyes.

Books have always been monopolized by aristocratic families, and the reason is because books are expensive.Especially during the Five Hushuanghua period, after some precious carvings were destroyed.Many books have become orphans!Not to mention ordinary people, even the children of aristocratic families, it is rare to see them in leisure.A lot of knowledge has since disappeared into the long river of history.For example, Hua Tuo's prescription for Mafeisan.

The inheritance of human civilization is very important to accumulate.Many things have been researched on the basis of previous experience.As the inheritance of knowledge and civilization, books must not be so expensive.Yunhao feels that he has made great contributions to the development of mankind, but unfortunately there seems to be no Nobel Prize in this year.

Just do what they said, Li Er and Chai Shao found someone busy engraving wood type.Yun Hao was at home, telling the story.Then Zhang Miaoke recorded it and compiled it into a book.In fact, this work should be done by Yun Hao, but it is a pity that Yun Hao's two words are really not flattering.Li Er's evaluation after seeing it once is, "Snow Mud Hongclaw!"
I don't know how many years Zhang Miaoke has worked hard on calligraphy, and his handwriting is graceful and dignified.What's rare is that the sizes are still the same, Yun Hao endured for a long time before resisting the urge to frame them and hang them on the wall.

If such wallpaper is used, Zhang Miaoke, who has a sore wrist, will fight Yunhao with his life.

In just one month, the wooden movable type was carved.There is a whole room, and I don't know how to do it.Yun Hao picked up more than a dozen pieces of wooden type and piled them into a pile, almost never finding any errors.Yunhao has a new understanding of the craftsman spirit of the ancients.At Yunhao's insistence, Li Er increased the wages of those craftsmen.

The head craftsman was holding the silver money, tears were streaming from his tears.He bowed to Yun Hao, and declared that as long as the Yun family did what he wanted, he wouldn't care.

As an engraving craftsman, the treatment is actually not bad.Although they can't keep up with the nobles, they are still better than ordinary people after getting their wages.The reason why he is so grateful to Yunhao is because Yunhao respects their work.In many cases, what artisans need is not money, but this kind of respect for craftsmanship.

After the movable type was finished, the chief engraver personally built a frame.The wooden movable type is placed inside, and then clamped.Apply ink to it and press lightly on the paper.Everyone poked their heads over, their eyes widening.After the wooden movable type left the paper, Yunhao jumped up all of a sudden, it was done! !

With wooden movable type, the work will naturally be much faster.Someone does the typesetting and someone does the ink.Someone is in charge of proofreading, and someone is in charge of binding.The assembly line operation method of the later generations was invented by Yunhao, which greatly improved the production efficiency.The workers work in three shifts, resting continuously.In less than three days, the first volume of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was printed.Of course, this first volume only talks about the battle between Sanying at Hulaoguan and Lu Bu.

Yun Hao felt a little regretful looking at the book with the fragrance of ink, it still didn't feel like a villain's book.I really miss that era of rich pictures and texts!The comic book carries the happy childhood of a generation.

As soon as the thousand copies of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were released, they were sold out by people with quick eyes and quick hearing.What is this, this is a book.It's only sold for ten pennies, which is a free gift.Although I don't know the magic horse thing written in it, as long as it is sent to a wealthy family elsewhere.Doubling it is not a problem.

In order to grab two books, some guys waited in front of Yun's bookstore the night before.Of course, the next morning they got their wish and bought the quota of two books.The Yun family is particular about business, and they have to wait in line to buy things.First come, first served is clearly distinguished, if there is someone who jumps in line.There will be a big man in black clothes coming over and asking, "What's wrong! Brother, what's wrong?"

If some burly guy stares back, those big guys will immediately ask: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you...!"

In order to achieve the maximum dissemination, Yunhao stipulated that each person can only buy two copies.As a result, every night, people line up in front of the bookstore holding quilts.With demand, there will naturally be a market.Guys who hired people to line up came into being. As long as they help line up to buy books, they can get five hundred coins.For a while, queues became common in Jinyang City.People have seized the opportunity to get rich and become the first ones to get rich.

"Brother Hao, we earned [-] guan in three days." Hou Junji's eyes were flushed with excitement, and he danced while looking at the mountains of copper coins.From a distance, it looks like Zhong Kui catching ghosts, but from a close look, it looks like the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"This is just the beginning. Books are the inheritance of knowledge. They have been controlled by aristocratic families for many years, and now they are released to the public. The thirst for knowledge will make people buy books regardless of the cost. But this will not last long, after all, these years are literate There are too few people." Yun Hao sighed, 80.00% of the people in this year are semi-literate, and the remaining [-]% are purely illiterate.

There are few literate people, and the demand for books is not so high.After the heat is over, sales will gradually decline.

But Yunhao was not worried about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the first volume was sold in only three days.The orders for the second volume flew to Yun's store like snowflakes, and the guys who urged the change were very arrogant.As soon as the second book comes out, money is not a problem, it doesn't matter if it is real gold or silver, as long as there is a price.

Before he knew it, Yun Hao's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had quietly left Jinyang.Businessmen who traffic in books came into being, and they rushed at a speed of [-] miles.Send "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an City.Because, there are the most concentrated families.In other words, there is the most market there.

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" A middle-aged man slammed the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the ground, thinking about it but couldn't understand his hatred.A big foot stepped on it fiercely.
