I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Zheng Surname picked up a movable type, handed it to Du Qi, and said: “Erlang, this is a craftsman in a craftsman’s workshop. It was produced in two days and has already been manufactured. Font.”

“Because the manufacture of movable type is not easy, it only took two days. After all, the general wood manufacture is prone to blurry fonts and infiltration of the surroundings.”

“But the wood of this movable type is real iron wood. Its hardness is like ironware. It is not easy to carve. However, after carving, it is easy to store and can be used continuously. If you don’t use it for a while, you have to Replace the movable type.”

“This movable type will take longer to use.”

“Not only that, this type of movable type will be quite clear when engraved.”

paused, Zheng Surname continued: “Nowadays, movable type has been manufactured. Especially, the raw materials have also been selected. Although the craftsmen in the workshop have already carved a lot of characters, they choose to engrave them at will. It’s too rambling.”

“This situation is like finding a needle in a haystack.”

“So, you’d better take out the content you want to engrave first, and let the craftsman engrave it one by one according to the content. First, because there are more and more movable type, in the end, the speed is getting faster and faster.”

Zheng Surname said slowly: “After all, there are actually so many words to use.”

Du Qi said: “Mother’s words are reasonable!”

paused, he continued: “What the son wants to engrave now is a book. The son is holding the content, Go to the craftsman’s workshop immediately.”

Zheng Surname nodded and said: “Although it is dark now, the craftsmen in the craftsman’s workshop have not rested yet. You can go to the craftsman’s workshop. Today’s craftsmanship is still the same. The lights are on. The craftsmen in the house are still rushing to make movable type. The craftsmen in our house are all good old people. They worked very hard in the past few days. After you go, say some good things, understand? “

“Son understands!”

Du Qi nodded, he is self-conscious about the human sophistication in this respect.

He stood up and walked out.

The area of ​​the artisan workshop is actually in the Zheng Family, but in the West Wing. This area is a bit remote, but for the craftsmen, it has no effect.

Zheng Family actually has a separate artisan workshop, which is responsible for making some farm tools. Because Zheng Surname saw the manufacture craftsmanship of movable type printing and knew the value of movable type printing, he drew a few old craftsmen separately, and set up a simple craftsman’s workshop in the west wing room of the mansion. , Is responsible for manufacturing movable type.

When Du Qi arrived, everyone was still busy.

Nowadays, the selection of movable type is fixed, and movable type is no longer a problem, so they are manufacturing movable type on a large scale. For the time being, they have no content, and they will manufacture the movable type at will. In short, they do not make the movable type repeated.

When Du Qi entered, every old craftsman with hair grey-white was still busy. There are bright smiles on their faces. Because it is extremely gratifying to get the trust of the master.

Du Qi looked at the old craftsmen one by one, he respectfully bowed, and said: “Teachers, you have worked hard.”

Everyone quickly humbled themselves.

For them, they are members of the Du family, and doing things for the Du family is justified.

I don’t think there is anything in my heart. On the contrary, I think Du Qi is polite, but Du Qi is polite and respects them so much, which is quite gratifying for them.

Du Qi said: “Teacher Fu has been working hard in the past two days to develop movable type. You have been busy with the stars and the moon, staying up late to study, and working hard. Your hard work these past two days, I also see it. Nowadays. , The thing is successful, you can’t fail to reward. Each of you, go to the accountant to collect the money. Everyone, get the two consistent money, this is a reward for you.”

The two consistent money is not a small amount.

Especially for the craftsmen in the mansion, a month’s allowance is only two to three hundred dollars. Even an experienced Teacher Fu has a higher allowance. Now, all of a sudden, they were about to receive the same amount of money, and everyone was surprised.

I was even more excited.

But Du Qi is young after all, so they are still a little worried.

Does Du Qi count?

Du Qi self-consciously saw the people’s concerns. He expressed self-confidence and said, “Now the tea shops and restaurants under my name are getting money every day. The money returned to the house every month, There are countless rewards. No one dares to say anything to reward you. Even more how. This is what you deserve. You go to the accountant tomorrow and report my name, just say that I said it, no one Dare to stop you.”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded immediately.

When they looked towards Du Qi, their eyes changed.

Tea shops and restaurants have long been popular in Cháng’ān. Countless people know that World’s First teas are truly high-end teas with superb taste and excellent taste. In particular, the food in the restaurant is so delicious that countless people covet it.

They know about tea shops and restaurants, but in fact, because they rarely go out, it is not clear that Du Qi controls them. Now that I know it, my heart is full of excitement and I feel more proud.

When they looked towards Du Qi, they no longer had the previous look.

Previously, they looked at Du Qi’s eyes. There was an old man’s look at children. They felt that although Du Qi was the second Noble Son of the Du family, he might not be able to speak and act seriously because he was young.

But now, it’s different.

Every face, for Du Qi, all showed expressions of admiration and admiration.

My Noble Son, it’s amazing.

Du Qi noticed the changes in the expressions of everyone, he smiled slightly, and asked: “You are serious, who is in charge?”

“Old man is!”

p>

In the crowd, a white-haired old man stood up.

This person’s hair is already gray, and his temples are covered with wind and frost. Especially one of his cheeks is covered with folds. His back is slightly rickets, especially the thick knuckles of his ten fingers, and his palms are covered with calluses.

His name is Du Pingan, and his family name is Surname. In the early years, Du Pingan had a difficult life and had nowhere to go. He sold himself into the Du family and became a member of the Du family.

Du Ping’an said: “Noble Son, the little old man named Du Ping’an is the Chief-In-Charge of everyone.”

Du Qi said: “Very good!”

paused, Du Qi has taken out the fifth chapter of Romance from his sleeve, and said: “Du Lao, this is the content you want to publish. According to the content, engrave all movable type. Then, print out all the content according to the content layout and print. In short, after the content is printed, save everything carefully, and try to manufacture as many as possible.”

“Yes!”

Du Ping’an took it and kept it carefully.

For Du Pingan, now that he has a raw material manufacturer movable type, he knows that the follow-up is not difficult. And after the movable type manufacturer comes out, it can be used repeatedly, which is far better than engraving.

Du Qi said: “Du Lao, you have worked hard.”

Du Pingan shook his head quickly and said: “Noble Son, you have broken the little old man. This matter , This is the job of a little old man, even more how Noble Son has given so much preferential treatment and given such generous rewards. For us, this is a great award.”

Du Qi said: “As long as Du Lao and the others do good things, there will be more and more rewards like this in the future. It’s late at night, and you guys have a rest earlier. I’m leaving.”

“I will give Noble Son !”

Du Pingan personally sent Du Qi away.

After that, he returned to the workshop and looked at Old Brother who were like him, and said, “Everyone, Noble Son treats us badly, and Madam is also very kind to us. Now that Noble Son has been tasked, we should work hard and live up to Noble Son’s expectations.”

Every old craftsman answered together.

For them, this is an opportunity.

Especially the master’s family is so good, they think they are just like the master’s family, and work hard for the master.

As everyone gets busy, they keep sculpting according to the movable type in the fifth chapter. From the very beginning, it’s a bit busy, because there are not many words, and you need one after another manufacturing, which will be slower and more troublesome.

With the ebbing of time, the more words are repeated, the subsequent manufacturing becomes easier. After all, there are more and more characters. As long as there are characters, there is no need to engrave them again, which is much more convenient.

Du Qi doesn’t know all this.

He went back to his yard, because it was late at night, he took a rest early.
