The Golden County Magistrate

Wang Yue was surprised and said, "Sir, do you want to arrest this man?"

Chen Yan asked back, "You don't want to?"

Wang Yue hesitated again and again, and then he said boldly, "My life is saved by you, so I dare not hide it. In fact, it's not just me. As far as I know, no one in Jizhou wants the court to catch this man."

If this was heard by the government, he would be accused of being a traitor.

But Wang Yue could feel that this Lord Chen was not an ordinary person.

After all, he dared to deal with the prefect Zhao Changhe!

Chen Yan was not surprised. The disaster was serious, the people were displaced, and it was difficult to survive. Naturally, it was easy to pin hopes on these people who wanted to rebel. Maybe, after the change of dynasty, there will be a little better life?

"But this guy sent someone to assassinate you, don't you hate him?" Chen Yan asked again.

"Hate, this grudge will be avenged one day! But, I hope it will be after the world is peaceful and the people are happy." Wang Yue sighed.

Chen Yan couldn't help but be moved.

Wang Yue is a man who truly cares about the world.

For this reason, he can even temporarily put aside personal grudges.

He said solemnly: "I can assure you that Gongsun Cheng is definitely not a good person. If he is allowed to rule the world, the people will only have a harder time."

Wang Yue was surprised and said: "Why do you make such a conclusion, sir?"

Chen Yan said meaningfully: "Do you know that after inciting the civil uprising, this person completely disappeared? How can a man who accomplishes great things only want to sacrifice others and watch the tiger fight from afar?"

Wang Yue was shocked: "Watching the tiger fight from afar, what a brilliant saying! I understand! This is a portrait of this person for you!"

He himself is a smart man, and he understood it at a glance, and understood that Gongsun Cheng is definitely not a reliable person.

On the contrary, Chen Yan in front of him has a plan for everything, is bold and careful, and is a person who really does practical things for the people.

Who is high and who is low, you can tell at a glance!

At that moment, Chen Yan asked someone to bring pen and ink. Wang Yue knew a little about painting. He spent two hours painting and tearing, tearing and painting, and finally finished seven paintings.

The man in the painting had a handsome face, about 40 years old, and quite heroic.

Chen Yan called Zhang Dabiao and ordered: "Take it to the printing factory and ask Lao Lu to print 3,000 copies first."

Wang Yue next to him was stunned and couldn't help saying: "Sir, this is a picture, not text."

He read a lot of books when he was a child and was studious, so he also had a certain understanding of printing art.

The printing art of the Great Zhou Dynasty has made considerable progress. Now there is movable type printing technology, which can be used for large-scale printing.

But movable type printing can basically only print text. The printing plate of images is not easy and the size is limited, so it is difficult to print in large quantities.

Woodblock printing can print pictures, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires high technical requirements. If there is any mistake, it has to be done again, and it is also difficult to print in large quantities.

But this Lord Chen not only wants to print such a large picture, but also wants to print 3,000 copies at a time. No matter what kind of printing technology is currently known, it will take at least three to five years to complete!

Chen and Zhang saw his expression and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Dabiao laughed even more: "Sir, you really should let this kid have a good experience and let him see how magical the printing technology you created is!"

Chen Yan's heart moved. Wang Yue is a man of both civil and military talents, and he should not be limited to the military affairs of the Nafu Camp.

What's more, printing is not a secret in Qingshan County. Its technology is the type that basically no one imitates if it is released. It doesn't hurt to let him see it.

"Well, you bring Wang Yue with you and let him see it." Chen Yan agreed.

Wang Yue was confused, but secretly looking forward to it.

During these days in Nafuying, he has seen countless new and strange things that he has never seen or even heard of.

I wonder what new and refreshing things this time?

The printing factory is in the county, on the second ring road of the county.

Zhang Dabiao took Wang Yue into the printing factory and shouted: "Lao Lu! Lao Lu! Get out!"

Wang Yue looked around. This place is about 200 acres in radius. It is similar to Nafuying. The buildings inside are basically built with cement. The houses are tall and spacious, and workers come and go from time to time.

While he was looking around, an old man with a white beard and in his fifties came out of one of the cement houses. He was wearing a strange piece of clothing and gloves.

Originally, the clothes and gloves should have been white, but now they are all covered with various ink colors, and the base color is almost invisible.

"It turns out to be Zhang Bingcao! What errand does the county magistrate have to ask?" The old man stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"The master said that he wants to print 3,000 copies of this portrait, and the price is based on the old rules."

"By the way, the master also said that the black and white one is too ugly and difficult to identify, so you can color it."

"Wang Yue, you have seen the real person, help Lao Lu with this matter, I will goI'll be right here."

After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, he patted Wang Yue on the shoulder and turned away.

Wang Yue originally thought that he had something to do outside, but he was walking towards one of the cement houses. He couldn't help but get curious: "What is the sergeant going to do?"

Lao Lu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to search for new goods."

Wang Yue was confused: "What are new goods?"

Lao Lu looked him up and down: "Little brother, it seems that you are new here, right? There is no rush for this matter. There will be a chance to see it later. Let's finish the adults' business first, and follow me. "

The two entered a room filled with all kinds of brushes and paints, which made Wang Yue's eyes go wide.

He had seen many soft-bristled brushes, but here there were wooden brushes, rattan brushes, and even iron-tipped brushes, which surprised him greatly.

Old Lu took the brush and dipped it in paint skillfully, and while asking Wang Yue for details, he colored the image.

In a short while, a colorful portrait was completed.

Wang Yue was very impressed. This Old Lu was obviously an expert. After coloring, the portrait looked exactly like a real person!

"If there is no problem, then we have to start making the plate."

After confirming that there was no problem, Old Lu used a peculiarly shaped boiler next to him to dry the portrait and solidify the paint.

Then he took him out to a large factory, called a dozen craftsmen, and gave them instructions one by one.

"Hair, and here, you are responsible for it."

"Nose and ears, you are responsible for it."

"Lips are up to you." "

……

Lao Lu instructed everyone one by one. They were obviously experienced. They took the translucent paper sheets that Wang Yue had never seen before and covered the portrait in turn to paint the part they were responsible for.

This was a bit time-consuming, but Wang Yue did not feel impatient at all. He just watched everyone's work curiously.

It was not until an hour later that everyone finished painting and left.

Lao Lu called another dozen craftsmen and continued to give instructions.

"You are responsible for the color of the hair and eyebrows."

"You are responsible for the color of the left cheek and right ear."

"This piece, pay attention to darken it a little, you are responsible."
