After Mo Shu saw the new paper, she affirmed the achievements of the craftsman.

Later, I heard Wu Ziheng ask about the printing of books, but Mo Shu did not plan to take action immediately. There are priorities, and the most important thing at the moment is not Wenchang but Wuzhi. Everbright Literature is a prosperous move, and Mo Shu knows that now is not the time to rule the world.

Moreover, if this printing is to be carried forward, it will not be a matter of day.

However, although there is no hurry to bring the printed book to the front of the people now, you can make some preparations first. Papermaking is one of them, and there is also the problem of printing ink.

Nowadays, the ink used in the girder is divided into pine smoke ink and oil smoke ink, pine smoke ink is the ink that burns pine wood to make cigarettes, and oil smoke ink is mostly tung oil. Because it is not easy to make ink, the raw materials are gradually decreasing with the large amount of ink, so the ink is not cheap nowadays.

Wu Ziheng also briefly mentioned that printing books requires a lot of ink, so the printed books must be expensive, and it is not realistic to be afraid of making a profit from them, unless it is just for the benefit of the students of Guangzhou, and it is sold at cost price, and more people may buy it.

If the price of printing books is expensive, only a few people buy them, and the engraving is so expensive for the purpose of printing the book, and the ink is so expensive, maybe the cost will not be recovered.

Mo Shu is not a sage, naturally did not plan to use his own money to benefit the poor students, in the later generations, in addition to tung oil, there is another material that is still affordable and available today - oil. Mo Shu had seen the relevant introduction in his previous life, this petroleum ink not only produces a lot of ink, but also the ink is black and bright, although it is not good, but it is more than enough to print books.

Moreover, oil is not expensive these days, but many pine forests have been cut down. Compared with pine smoke ink and tung oil smoke ink, if the oil smoke ink of petroleum can be made out, the price is more than half lower. Moreover, the ink used to print books can also save some labor, do not need to be made into ink ingots, and bamboo paper is also cheaper than the current sandalwood mulberry paper, which greatly reduces the cost of papermaking.

Mo Shuyin asked the Yang family: "Among the people of the Mo family scattered all over the world now, are there any people who can make ink?" ”

However, the Yang family didn't know much about this, and these people who took the initiative to contact or Mo Yun found had to wait for the meeting to ask again, and only then did they know what they were doing in the Mo family.

Mo Shu thought for a moment. Or go find Wu Ziheng.

This oil smoke ink involves the matter of Wenchang. Nowadays, Shinong industry and commerce are clearly distinguished, and their status is very different, and in order to get ahead and show their identity, countless people are eager to study. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used in the study room are all expensive. Now if you can make cheap oil smoke ink. The profits are certainly considerable and coveted.

That's all.

Mo Shu asked the original stewards and craftsmen of the Mo family to do business in various places, also for profit. If you say that you are worried about making a profit, this is the same for business, but if you can think of dividing the profits to the people above, then the ink making can also follow suit.

It's just that this oil smoke ink is a precious thing that literati and students will use, and the profits are naturally more, and I am afraid that simple cooperation will not be enough to satisfy the appetite of officials and local powerful forces, and this matter is closely related to Wenchang, and the top sees it more closely, and there is more reason to take away all this interest.

In this way, a force like the Jin State Mansion is needed to sit in charge.

And the paper-making thing Mo Shu also told Wu Ziheng that she wants this oil in the future There is another use, in this case, it is better to let the Jin State Mansion participate, Mo Shu provides technology and ideas, and the Jin State Mansion produces craftsmen and forces to support, and the benefits are shared, wouldn't everyone be happy?

Mo Shu probably told Wu Ziheng about the oil smoke and ink made from oil, and said:

“…… In the future, cheap ink will be available for printing, and my master said that this oil seems to be available in Dingyang, and it is mostly called stone liquid locally. ”

"I will do my best to arrange for people to find this oil, so that the new oil and smoke ink can be produced as soon as possible." Wu Ziheng's jaw was bowed.

"Since bamboo paper and ink are available at a low price, I wonder if there is any way to reduce the cost of the materials used in this engraving?"

Wu Ziheng asked again.

Mo Shu was speechless for a while, and only said after a while: "Cousin, is it true that I am an immortal?" I am not satisfied with bamboo paper and ink. ”

Although movable type printing was still available, Moshu was not ready to take it out so quickly.

Not to mention the current situation that the books are all handwritten copies in Daliang, this book printing is enough only engraving, and after a long time of movable type printing, the printing of books is still mainly engraving, so it is not necessary to print books with movable type so quickly.

Besides, Mo Shu didn't want to take out too many things at once.

Bite off more than you can chew.

It's not a good time to make a big splash in literature.

While Mo Shu and Wu Ziheng were studying papermaking, book printing, and oil smoke ink, the people from the Mo family that Mo Yun had contacted had already arrived in batches.

Mo Shu plans to train these people first to better conduct business plans. She met the stewards and craftsmen in the flower hall of the Calyx Garden.

Now several years have passed since the Mo family was convicted, and the prestige of the Mo family's power is far less than before, and many people have fallen into the ground, and the wall has fallen to the ground.

Many of the Mo family stewards and craftsmen who were envied at the beginning were ridiculed and even bullied.

It is hard for Mo Shu to imagine that under such circumstances, there are still such a group of people who are loyal to the Mo family's descendants to revitalize again, instead of defecting to Mo Zhihai, the current patriarch of the Mo clan in Lingbei. Therefore, Mo Shu is very grateful to these people and treats them with a cautious attitude.

But when she sat in the hall with her family and saw these people, Mo Shu couldn't help but be moved.

Mo Shu only roughly said her thoughts, and everyone below was already excited. She originally thought that it would be reluctant to let these people go to the Chamber of Commerce, after all, now the status of businessmen is low, not only can they not be able to take scientific examinations, but they will also be subjected to heavy taxes and even looked down upon.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mo Shu said it, everyone agreed and said that they would never live up to the expectations of the main family.

There are also people with tears in their eyes, and said: "These many young people have watched the main family get guilty, and they just hate that they can't do something for the main family, and now the main family can think of the small one, and the small one is still a little useful, even if you go to the soup and fire, you have to do things well for the main family." ”

"Back then, thanks to the main family, otherwise the villain's mother would have gone a long time ago, and now as long as the main family commands, the little one must do his best no matter what."

"I have been waiting for the call of the Lord's house for so many years, and today I have finally waited for it."

"The Mo family will definitely be able to revitalize, we will go to business first, and obey the assignment of the main family at any time!"

……

Like this, Mo Shu also had a feeling of enthusiasm when she heard it, and the voices in front of her boiled down to this: I have waited for a long time and finally waited for today, and I have dreamed for a long time and finally realized my dream! It seems that the Mo family has seen them today with supreme glory, and they also firmly believe that the descendants of the Mo clan in Lingbei will inevitably regain their former glory.

In an instant, Mo Shu was so moved that she almost wanted to cry.

And the Yang, Bai, and Mo people next to them were already in tears.

With such a person, why don't the Mo family worry!

The Mo family will never treat these people who always follow the main family and never abandon them! (To be continued.) )
