Chapter 339: Engraving and Printing

Wang Xiao didn't bring Yushu home, in that case, it would be tantamount to exposing his identity.

What Zu Long thought in his heart, Wang Xiao was not sure to guess completely.

Although he himself is not afraid of danger, there are too many people around him, and it is difficult to protect them all when there is really something.

However, as long as Zu Long is still learning Zixia Divine Skill, as long as he has not given up and has no doubts, then Yushu is absolutely safe to stay in Afang Palace.

Wang Xiao estimated that with Zu Long's age, if he wanted to cultivate his sense of qi, it would take several years, to say the least.

The hard work of the past few years is enough for Wang Xiao to do many things.

After a while, Wang Xiao came to the workshop outside the city.

Except for the beginning when he came to teach the technique, he almost never came to see it again.

This time, I was pulled over by Lu Pheasant.

As for the reason, it is because there are always mistakes in engraving printing here in the workshop.

If you want to ask why you don't use movable type printing in one step, then Wang Xiaoming will say that the climb of technology is staged. In fact, it's because he came up with all these techniques to sell them for money. Isn't it fragrant that a technology can be sold twice for money?

"I don't know how to do it, every time the handwriting is printed backwards."

Lu Pheasant complained to Wang Xiao, "I wasted a lot of engravings, and also used a lot of white paper and dyes." It's all money. ”

Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to Daqin, the most used was a seal, which was still called a seal at that time. That's how the name of the jade seal came about.

Then when it came to the Southern Dynasty, the Motuo stele appeared further. It is to paste the paper on the stone tablet and then ink it down.

This is how Wang Xiaoxue's Zhang Menglong Monument came about.

After that, there is the real engraving printing.

Not all wood can be used to make engraving, and generally choose fine and solid wood, such as jujube wood, pear wood, etc.

It doesn't cost much to buy wood, but it's not cheap to buy boards.

And using craftsmen to carve handwriting on wooden boards is kung fu work, which can only be done by a few masters.

Fortunately, this is from Li Si's side, they are all top craftsmen in the Shaofu, and they don't have to pay any too expensive wages. However, eating and drinking well is a must.

Wang Xiao stepped forward to take a closer look and quickly found the reason.

"The paper is too thick, so you have to use thin paper." Wang Xiao shook the paper in his hand, and it made a noise.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to an engraving with paper pasted on it, "The paper has to be pasted backwards." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiao took matters into his own hands and first selected a thinner piece of paper. After thinking about it, he took a pen and wrote part of the Tao Te Ching on paper.

Then he pasted the paper on the engraving plate backwards, took the carving knife from the master craftsman's hand, and sat there and carved it into Yang script with the carving knife stroke by stroke.

Wang Xiao's hand was very steady, without a trace of shaking.

And his strength is so great that the strokes of each word stand out on the board.

Lettering is no longer than writing, one stroke at a time.

The masters who were still dissatisfied with Wang Xiao's own hands before have all changed their faces to admiration at this time.

They are all craftsmen, and you can tell at a glance whether the craftsmanship is good or not.

Wang Xiao's craftsmanship, they are really convinced.

"I have been doing this for more than 30 years, and I thought that carving a piece has been unparalleled in the world. Today, when I saw the initiative of the family, I realized that there is a sky outside the sky. ”

The masters who can do this kind of carving are literate, and they are already considered cultural people. It's nice to talk about, isn't it.

Lu Pheasant, who heard the comments of the craftsmen, raised his smooth chin proudly.

Looking at Wang Xiao's eyes, they were full of water.

The man she fancies is really capable.

It's just that the vision of making friends is not very good, and I have a guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

After the carving was completed, Wang Xiao put down the carving knife and shook his hand.

Get up with the engraving, go to the inkwell and dip the brush in the ink, brush it on the carved board, and let the ink soak every word.

After that, take a piece of white paper and cover it on the engraving, and take a clean brush and gently brush it on the back of the paper.

When I took the paper off and looked at it, a page of the book was printed.

Lu Pheasant's eyes were already full of little stars.

In her opinion, Wang Xiao's technique is a golden cake.

The craftsmen were all shocked, and after looking at each other, they all saluted Wang Xiao and called them great sages.

The first master stepped forward, saluted respectfully and said, "The master's family is miraculous, and he is not inferior to the public." So-and-so will go to the Ming Juzi. ”

Wang Xiao was stunned and looked sideways at his feet.

Sure enough, he didn't wear shoes.

There were also people who didn't have money to buy shoes to wear in the Qin period, but if they didn't wear shoes when they reached the status of a master, it could only mean that their identity was a child of the Mo family.

The Mohist family is an important school among the hundred schools of thought.

In the Qin period, the Mohists and the Legalists were both scholars. And Confucianism was not valued by Zulong at this time.

Most of the craftsmen in Daqin were appointed by the Mo family.

As for Juzi, he is the leader of the Mo family.

It is said that the Mohist family was founded by Mozi, and he is said to be a sworn enemy of Confucianism. It is said that the Mojia Juzi in the past dynasties are very mysterious, and the only ones who really have classics to verify are Meng Sheng, Tian Xiangzi and the belly.

What this master means is that Wang Xiao's skills are too good, and he wants to introduce Juzi to join the Mo family.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed the hundred schools, the Mohists, who advocated technological innovation, gradually withdrew from the historical stage.

However, in the Qin period, the Mo family was one of the important supporting forces of Great Qin.

If you join the Mo family and are still valued, you will be able to get the support of the Mo family in the future, and it will be a great help to go up.

"I got it, but I don't need it." Wang Xiao directly shook his head and refused.

Just kidding, he just wants to row here, he just wants to enjoy life, and he just wants to watch Daqin Shock in all directions.

Let him join the Mo family like an ascetic, how is it possible.

The master craftsman was still unwilling to persuade, "With the master's ability, it is not impossible to become a giant in the future." ”

Wang Xiao still shook his head, "Don't talk about it, I don't want to be Xiang Shaolong who sends women." ”

Maybe Wang Xiao will be interested in joining the family, but don't mention the other hundreds of families. He didn't have that kind of mind.

looked at the face full of regret, and was sad for a master like Wang Xiao who refused to join the Mo family. Wang Xiao instructed him to carve Xunzi's persuasion.

This time, the master has no regrets, and his face is full of incredulity.

This exhortation is quite a word.

Carving word by word on the wooden board not only takes a long time, but it is also very tiring.

What's more, the most important thing about engraving printing is that as long as the wrong word is engraved, the entire layout will be scrapped.

It's a very draining job. It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, the master craftsman will have to work very hard.

Wang Xiao, who had assigned the task, hummed and left, but Lu Pheasant stayed behind and kept urging the craftsmen to start work quickly.

In the following days, Wang Xiao accompanied Lu Su everywhere during the day. At night, I play with Lu Pheasant.

Every once in a while, I went to Afang Palace, listened to Yu Ji sing, and took Yushu out for supper.

Occasionally, when he was interested, he would go to Zu Long and ask him how his cultivation was progressing. If you don't understand something, you will also teach it carefully.

On Yushu's side, after getting Zulong's orders, the people in the palace didn't ask more about other things besides still maintaining their daily use.

In the palace, people who talk a lot and ask questions have never ended well.

Even if someone saw that Yushu was not in the palace at night, they pretended to have night blindness and didn't see anything.

As the days passed, Wang Xiao's life was as calm as water, and he was unhappy.

Xunzi's persuasion was finally engraved, and a set of costs were printed.

"It's all gold." Wang Xiao raised his hand and knocked on the stacked engravings.

Lu Pheasant, who had been staring at this matter these days, also smiled, but she quickly pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "You can't give Gao so much this time." Look at what he's doing every day now. ”

Gao Yao has been spending all day drinking outside these days, that is, being carried back to sleep every once in a while.

And on the side of the wine shop, he hasn't been there for a long time. It's all supported by a few second-knife apprentices who were temporarily taught before.

As for the grand blueprint of opening Gao's Hotel all over the country, it is estimated that he has forgotten it.

"He's a poor man, too." Wang Xiao sighed and said, "Since he."
