Regardless of whether this "The Romance of the West Chamber" has mixed reviews and reputations, it is popular all over the city.

Yang Chen left Tianranju and went to Ma Mansion.

Mr. Ma heard that Yang Chen had invented a new printing technology, and he was going to his own printing workshop to make fonts.

He put down all the work at hand.

Also followed.

Ma Kee Printing Workshop!
This is a private printing workshop in Mafu, Weicheng.

"Mr. Yang!" After seeing Yang Chen, Ma Lao immediately saluted slightly.

Today's Yang Chen has a great reputation, and almost everyone in Weicheng knows about it.

The old man Ma was old and refined, and he guessed in his heart that Yang Chen probably had already borrowed the power of sentient beings to sublimate his spirit to the utmost, and ignited the pure yang fire.

Once the divine fire is ignited, there is hope for conferring the gods.

For such a future god, even if he is rich, he would not dare to neglect him.

"Old Ma, why are you here?"

Yang Chen was surprised to meet Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma said, "Wen Cai sent someone to tell me in the morning that Mr. invented a new printing technology called movable type printing, which can save printing costs, improve printing quality, and save printing time. Things, I also want to personally observe the first birth of this kind of god, please allow me, sir."

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Since you're here, let's come together!"

"I want to study and practice, but I don't have much time to take care of these things. I originally planned to pass on the movable type printing technique to Wencai, so that Wencai can be spread everywhere, benefiting the world and accumulating merits."

"If you want to see it, just see it!"

"Let's go in together!"

In the Maji Printing Workshop, there are dozens of people busy working.

Especially a group of people, sitting there, each holding a page of the "Three Character Classic", and each holding a carving block. This group of people is facing the content of the "Three Character Classic", carving the content of each page.

The front part of the "Three Character Classic" has been carved, and the rest of the people are stepping up printing. With the printing, there are ox carts, and the printed part is transported to Ma's shops around Weicheng.

People came and went, the scene was very hot, everyone was focused on doing their own things, no one was cheating or playing tricks.

At this moment, Yang Chen, Ma Lao, Ma Wencai, and Liang Shanbo entered the printing workshop, but in the printing workshop, no one noticed the four people entering.

"Oh, it's not good. I just finished engraving the content of this page, but I made a mistake!" A worker who was engraving a block was beating his chest and feet.

"The young master said, this is a peerless classic, it will be passed on to future generations, and it will be famous through the ages. No mistake is allowed. I have to re-engrav the word for this word mistake!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity, one word is wrong, let's start again!"

The man sighed, and had no choice but to find another engraving plate, and re-engraved the contents of the page of the "Three Character Classic" assigned to him from the beginning.

At this time, someone finally saw Ma Lao, Ma Wencai, Yang Chen, and Liang Shanbo who had entered the printing workshop.

"I've seen the owner!"

"I've seen Young Master's!"

Those who were working stopped their work slightly, stood up, and bowed to Ma Lao, Ma Wencai and others.

Ma Lao said with a smile, "You all just do your own thing well, don't worry about us, we're just wandering around!"

"Also let Wei, who is the best at printing, come here, I have something to tell him to do!"

Immediately someone went to look for Old Wei.

Ma Lao turned his head to Yang Chen and said with a smile, "This old Wei has the best technology in the printing workshop, and he has been working here for decades. will not say."

Soon, Lao Wei arrived.

"I've seen the master, I've seen the young master!"

Lao Wei is about 50 years old, his face is full of wrinkles, his skin is rough and dark, but his eyes are piercing.

Approaching quickly, he immediately bowed to Ma Lao and Ma Wencai.

"Come with me, I have something for you to do!"

Ma Lao, Ma Wencai, Yang Chen, Liang Shanbo, and Lao Wei entered the printing workshop together, a room specialized in making exquisite engravings.

In the house, there is a wooden table, a few wooden stools, and the windows are bright and clean, spotless.

"Old Wei, this is Mr. Yang, the talented man who invites the moon!" Mr. Ma introduced Yang Chen to Old Wei.

Inviting talented scholars?
Old Wei stared, his brows beaming with joy.

"But Meixu is three points inferior to Xue, but Xue is inferior to Mei Duanxiang, a talented scholar who invites the moon?"

"My grandson, Wei Dahai, likes Mr.'s poems very much. He memorizes every poem by heart. I really didn't expect, little old man, to have the opportunity to meet Yaoyue Talent."

"The "Three Character Classic" written by Mr. Dahai also likes it very much. Although he is illiterate, he still keeps it carefully. He often goes to people who can read and asks them to read the "Three Character Classic" to him."

Yang Chen said, "That's right, I am Yang Chen, and the saying of inviting a talented scholar to the moon is overrated."

"Since Dahai likes to study, I will open a private school in my village in a few days, and everyone can study for free."

"The private school is under construction. In a few days, when the private school is completed, you can let him come to the private school to learn some words."

Old Wei said, "Really, Mr. is going to open a private school to teach and educate people?"

"That's great. He's just a wild boy in the country. Does he have a chance to read and write?"

"Don't worry, sir, even if it's a waste of money, I will still provide the sea to study. As long as he studies hard, he won't run around like me for a living in the future."

"If my old Wei's family can produce a scholar, it will be a high incense for my ancestors."

Everything is inferior, only reading is high!

To be able to study is a very extravagant wish for many children from poor families.

Yang Chen shook his head, "There's no need to sell everything. I don't charge anything for teaching. He only needs to buy books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He doesn't need any other expenses. The meals in the private school have been outsourced by Ma Fu and Liang Kuan."

After hearing this, Old Wei was overwhelmed with emotion, "How can this be possible, Shu Xiu must have it!"

"Sir, if you don't want it, it's because of your compassion. If you don't give it up as a student, it's because of your rudeness."

……

"Boss, why do you want me here?" After bowing to the talent Yaoyue, Lao Wei turned to look at Ma Lao.

Mr. Ma laughed and said, "This matter, you have to be told by a gentleman, it is about printing.!"

Old Wei looked at the talent Yaoyue with some puzzlement.

It is well known that the talented scholars invited to the moon are so talented that they are famous in Weicheng.

But this great talent, does he also know about printing?

You know, most of the people who do printing are people like Lao Wei, and there are basically no scholars who are willing to bow down to do printing.

"That's right. I heard from Wencai that woodblock printing has always been used in printing workshops. I felt that woodblock printing has many shortcomings, so I thought of a method that might be able to make up for the shortcomings of woodblock printing."

"I call this method, it's called movable type printing."

"I believe that with movable type printing, you no longer have to worry about the quality and speed of printing, and you can start the era of large printing."
