Chapter 167: A Revolution for Scholars II

In the morning, the printing workshop.

"Whew!" Mu Jing held the book that had just come out of the printed edition, and the strong smell of book ink between his snorts was pungent, and he blew lightly to blow away the smell on it, and then began to open it.

This is the first book under the movable type printing book, and even Mu Jing has a trace of excitement in his heart.

"It worked!"

Mu Jing looked at the font on it that belonged to the authentic printed version, and couldn't help but start muttering to himself.

"Lord Order, the cement can indeed make a better printing plate, and the current printing plate we use is the most convenient!"

"What about typography?"

"We're also improving the typography!"

"Good!"

Mu Jing said: "Then make sure to use a cement printing plate, but you have to be careful in terms of typesetting and do your best as possible!" ”

"Please rest assured, I won't disappoint you!"

Overseer Zhai said in a deep voice.

There was excitement in his expression.

can see such a craft born bit by bit in his hands, that sense of honor is enough for him to inherit the glory of the Zhai family, and pass it on in the future, who else will deny his identity as the heir of the Zhai family.

All of this is due to the defeat of the pasture.

He is now obedient to Mu Jing's words, and he will never underestimate his ability because of Mu Jing's age, but he has seen with his own eyes how Mu Jing taught him this craft one by one.

The death of a confidant is enough to make him lose his liver.

"Supervisor Zhai, how is the proofreading of this book for typos?" Mu Jing continued to flip through the pages, asking as he looked.

In printing, there will inevitably be some mistakes, and proofreading is very important.

"At present, we have prepared a special proofreading job, and arranged more than ten scholars to do proofreading!" Zhai Kuang replied, "I will follow the teachings of the Inspector, books that have not been proofread will not be printed on a large scale, and we will also ensure that there will be no mistakes in the printed books!" ”

"Good!"

Mu Jing flipped through it, the printing on it was really good, enough for him to make a difference, he put away this book, and then said: "Get the printing plate out as soon as possible, and then prepare to start the assembly line operation, as soon as the paper arrives, it will be printed on a large scale immediately!" ”

The operation of the assembly line is a kind of operation of a modern factory, which is the most labor-saving operation, and the workshop is actually a large-scale factory, and the operation of the assembly line can save a lot of time and manpower and material resources.

Ten days ago, Mujing was arranged in the two workshops, so that the two workshops formed an assembly line operation, which is currently underway.

"No!" Zhai Guo nodded.

……

In the afternoon, Mu Jing carried this newly printed book and went to the palace to face the saint.

"Minister, Mu Jing, meet Your Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live Long live!"

"Longtu is here!"

The Son of Heaven is in a good mood today, he is tasting wine in the imperial garden, among the stone pavilions, the bamboo mats are paved on the ground, the bead curtains are hanging down, and the beauties on the left and right are accompanied. ”

"No!"

Mu Jing walked up and knelt beside him.

"Long Tu's entry into the palace today is not good news for me!"

The Son of Heaven said with a smile.

"Your Majesty!"

Mu Jingbi respectfully handed over the results of the printing supervision: "This is the result of the concerted efforts of my colleagues in the printing supervision, please ward off evil spirits and review!" ”

"Oh!"

The Son of Heaven's eyes suddenly brightened.

He picked up the book.

"Analects?"

He was slightly surprised, and only after looking at the book cover for a half sound did he turn the page: "This font? ”

"Han Li!"

"It's indeed an authentic Han Li!" The Son of Heaven is also a calligraphy lover, he looked at it carefully, and then said: "But it is so standardized, it is rare in the world between the words and words!" ”

"This is a printed version, neatness is the standard!"

"This movable type printing technique really has the ability to read a thousand books at sunrise!" The Son of Heaven kept flipping through it, but he was always a little worried that it would not be credible.

"Your Majesty, please believe me, as long as you start printing, typesetting day and night, the supply of paper is sufficient, and a thousand books are produced every day, that is only the minimum requirement, if the workshop continues to expand the scale of paper printing, it will not be difficult to produce ten thousand books a day in the future!" Mu Jing said confidently.

"Good, good, good!"

The Son of Heaven became more and more excited, three in a row, looking at Mu Jing's face was very satisfied: "Long Tu, you have made a great contribution, you have made a great contribution to the world's readers, since then in the world, the scholars no longer have to rely on the library in the hands of those family door valves, if in this world, everyone has books to read, the door valve trouble, why worry about injustice!" ”

The family gatekeepers, with knowledge passed down to the world, their ancestors are all famous Confucians, the knowledge passed down is the foundation of their standing, their family will also hold countless inheritance of knowledge, not their own people can not read, control the inheritance of knowledge, so as to control the minds of the readers.

If the inheritance of knowledge is not grasped in the family.

Then the court no longer needs to be jealous of them.

This is probably the best news the Son of Heaven has heard in these days.

"You say that I have such an artifact in my hand, what should I do to minimize the influence of these wealthy families!"

Soon, the Son of Heaven spoke a little impatiently.

He had been fighting with the Shi clan for twenty years, and he couldn't wait to see the shocked and flustered faces of the Shi clan, which might be the best way to soothe his mood.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be done slowly, although we now have something that can check and balance them, if they jump over the wall in a hurry, with their influence, the court will be chaotic, and Your Majesty will not gain more than it loses!" Zhang Rang next to him bowed down and said.

The scholars have too much influence above the court and among the people, and if the court suppresses the scholars, it will inevitably cause trouble.

"I'm not afraid of them now!"

The Son of Heaven said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!" Mu Jing whispered: "But Your Majesty doesn't have to clash with them head-on!" ”

"Say!"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand directly and looked at Mu Jing.

"Your Majesty, we can build a study, and then sell books at a low price, our books have a low cost, do not need manpower to copy, not only supply innumerable, but also cheap, even if some poor scholars can afford it, as long as these books flow out, it will inevitably make Shilin chaotic, and we can also obtain benefits from this, replenish the treasury, and kill two birds with one stone!" Mujing Road.

This is a plan he has planned a long time ago, and even the shop has been taken down under the name of Jingping Trading House, just for this day.

Cultural profiteering is bound to be rampant in this era.

Because this is an era of readers, everything is inferior, only reading is high, reading people reading, the four treasures of the study, all of them are indispensable, reading and recognizing, books are the most important.

However, in this huge interest, someone needs to support it, otherwise it will be difficult for Mujing to stand alone.

And today is the best reliance.

As long as the current day is pulled into the water, this business can be continued.

"But Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is a businessman, isn't it smiling and generous!" Zhang Rang hurriedly shook his head and said.

"You can sell books as a bookseller!"

Mu Jing said: "The minister will never take half a step back because of his reputation, even if he is ridiculed as a businessman by the world, the minister will never let His Majesty's name be humiliated!" ”

Leaving aside the Son of Heaven, it is not because he is loyal to the Son of Heaven and does not want the Son of Heaven to bear the notoriety.

It's because he doesn't want this study to become the Son of Heaven in the future.

"That's a good idea!"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he immediately laughed happily: "The matter is so decided, you have to do your best to do the study matter, but I want half of the pure profit!" ”

"No!"

Mu Jing also knew that the Son of Heaven would inevitably open his mouth, but he couldn't give it, after all, in front of him, it was Mu Jing who talked about business with him, half of the net profit, which was the bottom line he could bear, if he took eighty percent, he was afraid that he would directly take the burden.

"Long Tu, I'm very optimistic about you, you can't let me down!" The more the Son of Heaven looked at Mu Jing, the more pleasing it became, he stretched out his hand and patted Mu Jing's shoulder: "Don't forget, you are still the companion of the Prince Association, I have already sent the Prince Association to Taixue, and you will go to Taixue to study in the future!" ”

Let Mu Jing accompany Liu Xie, just hoping that Mu Jing can help Liu Xie.

Recently, he has felt more and more that his body can no longer support it, but he has never been able to let go of the big man's country, so he has been holding on to it to the death.

And in the interim, he is looking for a new emperor, and his sons have the right to inherit, and he is more interested in Liu Xie, but he also knows that it is not easy to want Liu Xie to ascend to the throne.

So he picked an assistant for Liu Xie.

This person is Mu Jing.

Since Mu Jing appeared, he has been a little impressed three times and twice, and now he has entered his sight.

"No!"

When Mu Jing heard this, he gave up his hand.

Liu Xie?

Emperor Han Xian, the emperor who made a puppet, didn't really want to provoke him, but since the Son of Heaven had reminded him, he still had to go to meet Liu Xie for a while.

"Go down!"

"Retire!"

Mu Jing bowed and saluted, then turned his back, walked backwards towards the Son of Heaven, and walked out slowly.

When Mu Jing left, the Son of Heaven spoke: "Father Shang, what do you think of this son's conduct? ”

"Your Majesty, Mu Longtu is still loyal to Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang said: "But it is undeniable that this son is somewhat too selfish!" ”

"You said that he took the initiative to let me and the court stay out of the matter, but he was alone in the warrior clan, what is the so-called!"

The Son of Heaven asked.

"He is very smart, because he knows that only His Majesty can give him the greatest support if he is alone, and even if he loses, His Majesty can save his life!" Zhang Rang said.

"Then I really want to see how much he can do!"

The corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth raised a playful smile: "Father Shang, you go and tell Jian Shuo to pay more attention to the safety of the Hou Mansion of Xi'e Township in the future, since he Mujing now believes in me, I can't let him down, this Luoyang City is still my Luoyang City!" ”

In this Han Kyoto, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, a storm is about to sweep through Shilin......
