Chapter 526: Printing Templates
The state-of-the-art printing technology that appeared in the National University of Guzi Kingdom was actually just the idea of a scholar at the National University who saw the seal of the dean of the college and suddenly thought of reprinting a large amount of text information on a large scale by combining parchment!
Of course, it is also because of the high price of parchment, and it is not common for craftsmen to be able to carve out the text on the printing plate, not to mention the need to carve out a whole book of words on the printing plate, which is undoubtedly a more difficult thing, and such a way that I feel very clever is actually not very practical...... At least not as valuable as he thought.
However, when the low-cost pulp paper was gradually rolled out in the kingdom, the most expensive part of the text carrier was greatly reduced, so for the printing plate part that was more difficult to find capable craftsmen in the future, the only thing left to consider was to find capable workers, as well as the problem of cost and time. This is just a problem that needs to be solved once, such as the content part is already in great demand in the national university, and the printing plate only needs to be engraved in one edition to be reused almost infinitely, and this cost is happy for investors like Viscount Bierman.
In fact, it is not uncommon for official seals to be relatively less written and more focused on patterns in the Guzi Kingdom, and most of the heraldic studies that nobles need to learn are the study and memory of these heraldic patterns.
It's just that there are big problems in carving or casting seals, that is, it takes too long to engrave words, it is difficult to be proficient, and the error rate is too high. Because just by virtue of the original idea to carve out the knowledge in the book word by word and word by word on the printing plate, not to mention whether it is possible to find enough and good enough craftsmen to do such a boring work, even if it is found, the time required to complete it with the difficulty of this kind of project must be counted in years!
Simply calculated, even if the base price is increased again, and then the estimated time for the return of funds is extended, it is completely useless, after all, the funds are placed there, and the reduction of the rate of return is the focus of every investment that cannot be ignored, and the funds are limited.
What's more, there is no subsidy in the kingdom for industries in this field, so no matter how beneficial the country and the people are, it has nothing to do with the nobles...... This is a problem that the king needs to think about solving, otherwise he really thinks that the king collects so many taxes every year just for the army and government affairs?!
What's more, with the further development of the National University, printing technology is not only limited to the idea of enlarging the seal, but also the method of reducing the difficulty of engraving the printing plate!
Since receiving the capital injection from Viscount Bierman, the printing technology has been strengthened - using the relatively thin and ink-transparent characteristics of the special paper, first copy the text that needs to be burned on the paper, and after the ink is dried, compare the mirror handwriting reflected behind the paper, and copy it carefully on the wooden or stone template motherboard of the appropriate size prepared in advance...... It will not make ordinary craftsmen with a generally low level of education unable to start.
After that, things were much easier to solve, and it was nothing more than a careful engraving of the patterns on the stencil, which could be done even if it was assigned to some ordinary craftsmen with several years of work experience, so that this is probably the reason why Viscount Bierman was only put into the production of the printing house until now.
After all, after the production of the printing template is solved, the only thing that needs to be dealt with by the final execution factory is the ink, paper, and the workers responsible for the mimeograph.
Baron Lauren, who simply read the concise summary of the booklet in his arms, admired Viscount Birman beyond words, engraving the book and making copies...... Until it is finally bound into a book, this is completely a high-quality business with great profits!
And from the first time he saw this simple woodcut template engraved with the contents of the booklet, Baron Lauren immediately thought of the carpenter who had been making excellent wooden furniture for himself......
【...... It seems to be called Ino...... What is Ino, it's Ino, a family carpenter Ino from Yuno Village!]
Remembering the name of the maker of the product that he had promoted and made famous, Baron Lauren understood something...... I couldn't help but think deeply, and I admired and awe-inspiring the name of Viscount Billman's genius aristocratic merchant even more:
[Well...... It's just a small business project, and for me as a collaborator for the first time, and David, an important subordinate who is running a new industry on my own for the first time, I can't fail "no matter what", have already calculated to this extent?!]
[It is because I have already seen from the furniture I sent that I have the most suitable key talents for the production of printing motherboards, and because I know that David, who knows that the printing industry is about to flourish, will definitely be very concerned about this and will never forget it, and because as the key point of intersection, the "slave mine" is the Marquis of Eelsen's ambition...... That's why the three of them are connected without a trace?]
[In this way, Viscount Bierman not only gets the fee for trading the "slave mine" from the Marquis of Ilson as an intermediary, but also can win over a person with important human resources for free, and can also easily give his henchmen a chance to prove themselves and expand their influence in the Viscount's subordinate team, so that they can better serve themselves in the future!]
【...... Of course, even if the three people who were calculated by Viscount Bierman knew, they would probably be grateful to them, not to mention that the Marquis only cares about the result, and he may not take the so-called printing too seriously, and the Marquis has earned the favor of the Viscount, and Baron Lauren and David, who have benefited because of the Viscount, will not have any resistance to it......]
[Pure conspiracy, but it really lives up to its name!]
