Shenwutang can't really be regarded as stingy.

The Nine Days True Technique is a martial arts method that can be cultivated to the innate stage, and it is also based on Zhongzheng and peace, and it is not widely circulated in the outside world, and it belongs to the heart method that can only be seen in the Shenwu Hall.

"Nine days" does not mean that there are nine suns in the sky, but refers to the practice of this mental method in nine days, step by step, and the entry is guaranteed, which is more suitable for beginners in martial arts.

And since it is not very common to see it outside, it is more and more worthwhile to buy this martial art, and it is undoubtedly a lot of thought for Shenwutang to choose such a mental method.

You can't expect everyone to be like Song Yan and sell this peerless mental method at every turn......

Of course, due to people like Song Yan who seriously lowered the market price, the "Nine Days True Formula" could only set a price of six taels, which made Shenwutang also have a headache.

According to the normal market, ordinary martial arts can be sold at a reserve price of five or six taels, and martial arts can actually be sold at a higher price, which is originally the core of the premium.

Song Yan didn't care what Shenwutang thought, if it weren't for the pressure to return to his roots, he would have been eager to produce the King Heart Sutra and give it away directly to someone as straw paper.

At this time, after listening to Song Zhihuan's words, he didn't mean to say much, just patted him on the shoulder and said: "Soon a sum of silver will be sent over, prepare to recruit people, and prepare raw materials to continue to expand the production line." ”

Song Zhihuan was already quite convinced of Song Yan, and couldn't help but say at this time: "There is no problem in terms of manpower, and there are still many vacant rooms in Buwu Pavilion, but the raw materials are ......."

"There are still reserves of ink and paper, and it is convenient to buy them from Quanyang, but the output of copper near Shangjing is not large, and if we continue to increase the amount of copper, we will soon be stretched." ”

"The use of copper plates is just an emergency. Song Yan nodded and said, "In the future, I will gradually hand over the production of engraving, and you will establish a new production line, mainly woodblock printing in the early stage, and at the same time study the burning of words with clay and clay." ”

The establishment of the engraving production line is a must, although it is not difficult for Song Yan to make engraving, it takes a lot of time.

It is quite laborious to copy the ten martial arts, not to mention the carving, not to mention the direct engraving of Yangwen, the speed is simply not fast. With the expansion of production volume, it is imperative to set up a production line.

For engraving for printing, there is no essential difference between copper plate and wood plate, but the length of service life.

At present, the printing technology of the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually quite primitive, in order to avoid the ink dripping on the paper, the workers only dare to use the way of brushing the ink, which leads to the printing must be repeatedly vigorously pressed, so as to avoid the situation that the ink is not clear.

With the smelting technology of this era, the texture of copper plates is far from being compared with modern society, and it is easy to be crushed.

Each copper plate is actually pressed thousands of times before being squeezed to cause the font to be deformed, and the life of the wooden board is shorter.

Of course, it is easier to carve wooden boards, so it is more convenient for ordinary workers to use wooden boards.

"I understand that it is necessary to print on wood. Song Zhihuan nodded and said, "What does it mean to burn the words in the clay?"

"Engraving with cement, and then burning hard with fire, this way is low-cost, easy to take raw materials, and you can freely control the size of the engraving, and even burn a single word...... It's just that the process needs to be studied in depth. Song Yan said.

In his previous life, he was also a descendant of Yan and Huang, and of course Song Yan, the pride of the Chinese people, knew movable type printing, but the invention of this kind of thing could not only look at personal efforts, but also consider the process of history.

The advantages and disadvantages of movable type printing are obvious, flexible access, easy to replace damage, but at the same time, there are also troubles in typesetting, an extra process in plain and white, and the process is far more complex than engraving printing.

On the whole, movable type printing is more advantageous when used for dozens or hundreds of different books, and if only a few kinds of books are printed, the fixed engraving is much more cost-effective and labor-saving.

So before the stall of Buwu Pavilion was rolled out, Song Yan didn't think about movable type printing at all, this is not something that can be made with a pat on the head, and the production process of movable type is far more complicated than imagined.

If nothing else, do you want him to build a cellar in the Song family's courtyard to make a fire?

Now that there are a large number of skilled workers in Buwu Pavilion, it is possible to gradually develop the craft of clay type. Song Yan is responsible for investing funds and manpower, and then pointing out the direction of research and development, which is the right way for technological progress, and he never thought of doing it alone.

Song Yan briefly explained the concept of "clay type", and asked Song Zhihuan to take people to study it.

Some detailed technical details can only be studied by themselves, and Song Yan knows the principle of movable type printing at most. He crossed with the skill bar, not with Baidu.

......

The next day, the Four Princes' Mansion really sent money to the door according to the agreement, 230,000 taels, there were silver tickets and scattered silver taels, the service was intimate enough, and the contract documents were also brought by the way.

There was already Zhao Cen's seal and signature on it, and after Song Yan checked that it was correct, he also signed the document and left a copy to receive in the Buwu Pavilion.

It's just that what Song Yan didn't expect at first was that this trip would be Zhao Cen coming in person.

"Your Highness is usually so idle?" Song Yan took out a copy of the signed paperwork, threw it to Zhao Cen casually, and said in his mouth.

Zhao Cen knew that this person had a perverse personality, and he didn't care about him, so he just smiled and said, "Didn't I come to ask for advice...... Hongwen said yesterday that he wanted to build momentum for the ten martial arts, but he already has a countermeasure?"

Earlier, he was not in a hurry, but now that everyone is already a grasshopper on a rope, of course Zhao Cen is in a hurry to come to the door - at this time, time is money!

He leaned over to Song Yan and said, "The martial arts department of Shenwu Hall began to try to operate yesterday, and it is in good order, and it will be officially publicized today...... We don't have much time left. ”

Shenwutang was much more cautious than Song Yan in his actions, and although he had made sufficient preparations, he still carried out a tentative operation first.

After all, the dignified martial arts holy land, you can't engage in hunger marketing here like Song Yan, the martial arts they take out must be enough to sell, otherwise "the cheats of Shenwutang have been bought out", and it will be a shame to spread it.

They will even deliberately control the propaganda efforts in the early stage and reserve some leeway, but once the stall is spread, it is by no means comparable to a mere Buwu Pavilion.

Of course, Song Yan understood Zhao Cen's intention, and smiled: "Isn't everything ready?" Yan'er, take the information. ”

Knock knock knock!

Heavy footsteps came, and the elusive Yan'er ran all the way, holding a pile of files and came to the two of them, and I don't know how she managed to run out of this movement with a weight of up to eighty pounds.

"Could it be that the feeling of lifting the neck is wrong, resulting in inaccurate weight estimation?" Song Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The reality didn't allow him to ponder for long, and when these materials were placed in front of the two, Zhao Cen quickly understood what they were—this was clearly the resumes of ten innate masters near Shangjing.

"Hongwen collects these to ......"

"These ten people are famous and powerful, and all of them are from the martial arts sect and are highly respected...... Exactly the best stepping stone. Song Yan was not polite at all, and said directly, "Next, I will issue a war letter against these ten people at the same time." ”

He picked up the first dossier, this information came from the martial artist Zong Wan, nicknamed "Flying Snow Knife", a famous and strong man at the apex of the innate apex, and his sword skills were already superb.

"In what they do best. ”

Song Yan put down the file and wrote the first sentence of the battle book next to him: What kind of garbage is the Flying Snow Knife, I am the first in the world in the Jiujie Knife!
