Chapter 628: Engraving (2nd Update)

Song Yunting smiled: "I spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a bookshelf of books back, you won't blame me for spending money indiscriminately, right?"

Li Ruofan smiled and said, "How could it be! These books are priceless treasures." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that is, Du Ping had the opportunity to save these, which can be left for children to learn and pass on in the future. You can also scan and upload it if you have nothing to do, so that more people can see the reference. Anonymity, of course. ”

Li Ruofan knows very well what these books mean, the founding of the Tang and Song dynasties had a period of extremely strong national strength, which objectively contributed to the mass printing of books.

Many people will think that movable type printing only appeared in the Song Dynasty, and it must have been oracle bones, slips, gold stones, silk and silk or manuscripts before.

In fact, these bottlenecks restricting the dissemination of knowledge have long been solved by the sons and daughters of China. During the Xiping period (172-178 AD) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the method of copying and rubbing stone tablets appeared.

Booksellers in the Tang Dynasty were inspired by the engraving of seals and invented block printing for the first time in human history.

Engraving printing is on a smooth wooden board of a certain thickness, pasted on the copy of the neat manuscript, the thin and almost transparent manuscript paper front and the wooden board are attached, the characters become the reverse body, the strokes are clear and legible.

The engraver uses a carving knife to cut off the part of the layout without handwriting, which becomes the yang script with the font convex, which is completely different from the stele yin script with the font recessed. When printing, ink is applied to the raised font, and then the paper is covered on top of it, and the back of the paper is gently wiped so that the handwriting is left on the paper.

The earliest surviving engraving print is the Diamond Sutra (now in the British Museum) in 868, which was found in Dunhuang and smuggled overseas.

The famous Tang Sanzang took scriptures and brought back a large number of precious Buddhist scriptures, and the engraving printing in the early Tang Dynasty was naturally because of the admiration of Buddhism and a large number of Buddhist scriptures. Because of the existence of the monastic economy, monks are the wealthiest class, and books are undoubtedly the best means of publicity.

Li Ruofan looked at the Tang Dynasty engraving "Diamond Sutra", "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", "The Theory of the Yogi Master" on the bookshelf, rows of rare books that seemed to still exude the fragrance of ink, as if dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty. You must know that the earliest version of "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" is only a fragment of the Dunhuang Tang manuscript.

And the poets and lyricists of the Tang and Song dynasties and everyone's prose have never been there. The poet Yuan Zhi wrote a preface to Bai Juyi's "Changqing Collection", "There is no way for cows and horses to go, and as for writing molds, Ye is sold in the market".

"Mold" is molding, and "Ye selling" is selling. This shows that the dissemination of the poems of Bai Juyi, an upper-class intellectual at that time, in addition to the manuscripts, has been printed.

Poets in the Tang Dynasty often carried a poetry bag with them, that is, the manuscript written by the poet would be placed in the poetry bag and later sorted into a book.

There are also palace examination papers for the imperial examination, just like the current college entrance examination papers and champion notes, which are the best reference books. At that time, there was no publishing house, and booksellers were responsible for their own profits and losses, so it was natural to choose the most profitable book editions.

Li Ruofan said: "The Dunhuang documents were stolen by those so-called adventurers, and one day I will go abroad to get these back." Now these are worth even more. Du Ping himself is a reader who has participated in the palace examination, so he naturally knows what books are precious. Keep it alone, don't let one leak out. ”

Lan Yuxuan also knew something, and said with a smile: "Old Song has seen these books." ”

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "So what? In ancient times, there were many wars, and there may not be no books still hidden in some unknown place. For example, the tombs of emperors in the Tang Dynasty, although it is said that gold, silver and jewelry are not placed, but books are not included. There is no safe place over the mountains. These books were bought by Song Yunting, and they will not be taken out again from today. ”

Lan Yuxuan said: "Don't worry, I won't tell my father." The Yuxuan flagship store of Confucius Temple has been renovated. You haven't been here recently, how are the personnel arranged? Song Yunting said that they are all relatives of your family. ”

Li Ruofan said: "This is really my negligence. Zhou Yun of the eldest aunt's family and the second aunt's family, and then recruit an experienced store manager, which is almost enough. If you don't have enough people, hire one or two more. ”

Lan Yuxuan said: "Three people are enough. However, it is possible to recruit two interns, and I have them on the store manager's side. It's up to you. Speaking of which, it has entered the normal track, that is, it is a matter of producing at full capacity. Yuxuan is nothing, that's it. ”

When it came to the company, Lan Yuxuan obviously had more words, and reported the company's production and sales profits. Probably because Fang Xuerou's matter was compared, because the sales in the capital are very good now. It is said that Mrs. Kong and Fang Xuerou are the twin stars of the shopping mall, and they are praised.

Li Ruofan said: "Yuxuan will slowly become a media link, and the production capacity will gradually decrease in the future, in fact, it can also produce cosmetics and the like." Maybe directly produce face masks. The production of health care products will basically be limited, mainly auctioned. ”

According to Li Ruofan's idea, Yuxuan will not produce anything directly, so he will keep a brand. Because those health products are almost monopolized now. There are very few of them on the market, and if you don't open your own store now, you can't see it at all. This is contrary to the original intention.

Lan Yuxuan said, "Okay." ”

She wanted to ask why, but she didn't say anything.

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "Probably it will only be provided to Yuxuan stores, on the one hand, it is completely added by yellow essence powder, which is too simple." On the other hand, ordinary people can't see it. However, Yuxuan was founded in your name, and it will definitely not be discarded. The next auction will be called Yuxuan Auction directly. ”

Song Yunting said: "It's just that my assistant is gone, and I have to re-recruit." ”

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "Zhang Gezhuang also has to start work, otherwise people will have something to say." Naturally, the aunt is about to pass. I've always felt that the mountains over there are a bit mysterious. Otherwise, I will take turns with you to go to work, and go to Zhanggezhuang to see the progress in a few days. By the way, how is my uncle's family doing now?"

Lan Yuxuan said: "It's very lazy, but the driving skills are still reluctant." Every day, in addition to driving the car, I hide in the lounge and play games. Originally, I wanted to promote him to be a squad leader, but it seems that there is no hope. ”

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "It's good to be able to attend on time, what about this person, all kinds of people, you can't use your own standards to ask people." Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, some people are suitable for being a little person, and it will harm him if he suddenly transforms into a gorgeous person. Commuting to and from work on time every day is a habit and you will take the initiative to restrain yourself, which is already good. ”

Li Ruofan doesn't have any natural likes and dislikes for these mahjong stalls, but there is a saying that gangsters are not something that anyone can do.

I'm not afraid of the gangsters' strength, but I'm afraid that the gangsters are cultured. In fact, you have to have brains, like your uncle, that is, the kind that follows others to eat meat and drink soup, and also brushes the pot, washes the dishes, and carries the black pot. There is no future. (To be continued.) )
