Especially when she saw Jiang Chan's hasty proposal of the two tax laws, Jiang Miao felt that she was short-sighted. After he read Jiang Chan's test questions over and over again, he reluctantly returned them to Jiang Sen.

Therefore, Jiang Miao was convinced, and he sighed: "I'm not as good as Jiang Cicada!"

Jiang Sen carefully folded the test questions and put them in the pocket of his sleeve in a cherished manner: "Don't be too frustrated, Xiao Cicada has great talents, where can such talents be seen all the time?"

The meaning of the words is that it is clear that Jiang Miao is not as good as Jiang Chan, Jiang Miao has been hit by Jiang Chan and is about to be unable to clear herself, and when she heard Jiang Sen's words, she just responded in frustration.

This private school was opened by Liu Yuanwai and several foreign sponsors in the town, and it was also a good fate, and the bundles received were not much, and they were currently looking for a master.

Coincidentally, Jiang Sen is now bringing Jiang Miao over, and it was an instant hit, and Jiang Miao was appointed to come over the next day. As for food and accommodation, there is a room behind the private school, so it can naturally be satisfied.

A month ago, there was also about one or two pieces of silver, which also made Jiang Miao breathe a sigh of relief. One tael of silver a month is twelve taels a year, so that the pressure on the family is less.

Jiang Chan has completely cut off contact with his family, and in the future, the family can only rely on his father and himself. Now that she has found a job that suits her wishes, Jiang Miao feels that the burden on her shoulders is much easier.

The things that should be done have been done, and Jiang Sen didn't stay any longer, and sped up his pace to go back. Jiang Chan's test question gave him a lot of feelings, and he had to go back and pull Jiang Chan to ask him carefully.

Jiang Miao, who was left, sighed and turned back to the village. When I go back, I have to pack my things, and then I have to live in the town.

Let's talk about Jiang Sen, because he remembered the test questions of Jiang Cicada, even the delicious lunch felt a little unsavory. After lunch, he pulled Jiang Chan to discuss the matter of these two tax laws.

No matter how smart Jiang Cicada is, it is impossible for her to be so talented that she can say everything, and besides, she has learned a little bit of history, but just the scales and claws that are occasionally exposed have already made Jiang Sen ponder.

He simply copied Jiang Chan's answer, and seeing that Jiang Chan was puzzled, Lin gave her an answer: "Your father wants to marry and discuss with his friend, and the reason why he copied it down is because he is worried that the girl's handwriting will not be good." ”

At that time, people were strict with women, and girls' handkerchiefs would be criticized by the world if they accidentally dropped, especially this letter and so on. Jiang Sen was cautious, and after copying it, he also burned Jiang Chan's original test questions.

If you really stay at home, if you see something like this, it will be difficult to explain it if someone sees it in the future. Jiang Sen was also cautious, and Jiang Chan also understood what Jiang Sen meant.

Seeing Jiang Sen struggling to copy the ancient books borrowed from Li Ruisi, Jiang Chan suddenly said: "Dad, can we only copy by hand now? Can't we print it? How tiring is it to copy like this?"

Jiang Sen's writing hand paused: "Are you talking about engraving printing? That thing is very expensive, and it is not comprehensive, there are no books on the market, let alone such ancient books, it is better to copy it by hand." ”

Jiang Sen then understood that the popular thing is engraving printing. This engraving printing is the technology of engraving graphics and texts on the plate, and the plate of engraving printing is generally made of fine and solid wood, such as jujube wood, pear wood, etc.

Then the wood is sawn into pieces of planks, the words to be printed are written on thin paper, and then pasted on the boards, and then according to the strokes of each word, the strokes of each word are carved into yang characters one by one, so that the strokes of each word are protruding on the board. Once the board is carved, the book can be printed.

If even one of these words is written incorrectly, the template will not work. Moreover, there is a time limit for the preservation of wooden boards, and it often does not take long to re-make the formwork.

What's more, this engraving printing, pay attention to a whole layout, then its flexibility is very small, it is impossible for each book to be made into the corresponding master copy, and the price of engraving printing is also expensive, so in order to save money, it is more convenient, almost all choose to copy books by themselves.

Only those common enlightenment books on the market, the Four Books and the Five Classics, will have a template for engraving printing.

Jiang Chan frowned: "Then how slow is this copying, if you can make these words into a boxy mold, and then carve words on it, so what book do you want to copy, let's directly arrange this word and brush it with ink, won't this book come out?"

Lin had already put down the chess pieces in his hand and looked at Jiang Chan with blazing eyes, Jiang Sen opened his mouth, and was also surprised by Jiang Chan's idea.

"Tell me more?" he put down his pen and simply looked at what tricks Jiang Chan could say.

"I've said enough of this, it's a whimsical idea of mine. Isn't it the same as block printing? It's just that block printing is a whole page, and I'm thinking about a single word. ”

Movable type printing is one of the four great inventions of ancient times, and there is no such person in this era, and Jiang Chan can only brazenly say that this idea was his own.

"It's just that I don't know what to replace this word mold, it's just an idea of mine. When the time comes, if you want to print any books, you have to find out the patterns and arrange them one by one, and then you will be done, and why do you need to copy books so painstakingly?"

Jiang Chan spread his hands and said incomparably single. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, just give them a little inspiration, and they can make a huge difference.

"The words of the activity, the words of the activity are arranged......" Jiang Sen muttered a few words, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Girl, you are really talented! If this is really implemented, will the books in the future be sold so expensive!"

Jiang Chan, who was praised by Jiang Cicada, pursed her lips, she is not a talent, she just learned this in the history books. The real talents are those ancient people, and these are the real talents.

She was embarrassed to say that these things were her own. Now listening to Jiang Sen's praise like this, Jiang Chan is even more panicked, she is purely a porter, Jiang Sen's praise like this, she really can't deserve it.

Therefore, for the sake of keeping a low profile, Jiang Chan could only get rid of Jiang Sen: "Dad, it's good that our family knows about this matter, don't take it out and say something else, we should be low-key in doing things." ”

Jiang Sen thinks about it, the girl's reputation is spread all over the street, and it is easy to be used by people with intentions, so it is better to be calm and quiet.
