Chapter 140: Zhao Xianglu

Zhen Feng is still accustomed to the lack of popularity of printed materials in this era.

"Brother Feng, although I can do some engraving skills, it is still too difficult to carve a whole page in a short period of time."

"Can you carve with more than one person?"

"A version is so big, how can there be more than one person together?"

Since the Tang Dynasty, engraving printing has only been invented and gradually popularized, which means that if you want to print, you need to engraving first. The engraving required for a person to engrave a piece of paper is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Zhen Feng nodded, movable type printing has not started yet, and it is indeed laborious.

Zhang Qu said: "And once there is a typo, the entire layout will be invalid." ”

"Yes."

"Brother Feng, I'm also a reader, I've seen the engraving, it takes two days for such an engraving to be finer, even if it's fast."

"Don't worry, I have a way."

At this time, ten people dressed as craftsmen entered the door, and Zhang Qu said suspiciously: "Brother Feng, what are they doing?" ”

"I asked Martin to find a couple of carvers." Zhen Feng turned his head to these people: "Did you bring everything you explained?" ”

"Brought, please take a look at the shopkeeper." One of the older craftsmen took off the baggage, opened it and spread it out one by one.

Inside the bag is a polished wooden frame, multiple small square wooden blocks, and some bamboo pieces of varying thickness.

Zhen Feng distributed the words needed for the leaflet to these craftsmen and Zhang Qu, about five or six characters per person, and carved one word on each wooden block, and asked them to carve it on the spot. The fast old craftsman can also help the slow one, and after more than two hours, dozens of small seals engraved by the sun are completed.

The craftsmen were asked to rest after carving. In Zhang Qu's doubts, Zhen Feng filled the wooden blocks into the wooden frame in the order of the leaflets, and then used bamboo pieces to stuff the movable gaps to fix the woodcut seals. Zhang did realize that this wooden frame is exactly the size of the paper needed for a leaflet, and the length of the square wooden block is just the depth of the depression of the wooden frame, which means that the whole wooden frame is an engraving.

"It's ready to be printed now, Brother Sure, do you understand?"

"Wonderful, wonderful, Brother Feng, this is really wonderful! Ten times the time saved at once. ”

"Okay, no more nonsense, I don't think there are enough people in line in front of me, we need to get these flyers out to every corner as soon as possible. Don't spread this method for the time being. ”

"Okay, okay, it seems that this method can be used more broadly. Yes, yes, engrave some commonly used words in advance, and then select the words and fill them in the wooden frame! Oh, Brother Feng, you ...... You ......" Zhang Qu's brain instantly became active, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Before dark, hundreds of leaflets were already being distributed to different corners of the city. Not only were there people distributing, but also people reading aloud, after all, there were too many people who didn't know how to read at this time, and there were still a lot of Zhang Qu's students, and they all knew the words on the leaflets.

Zhen Feng's time is like a sponge, every link makes him go around, and he tries to be meticulous in everything. The time had already arrived, and Zhen Feng hurriedly rushed to the theater.

The theater was already full, the play had not yet begun, and all kinds of candied fruits were already placed on the table. Only the front row provided tea, after all, there was not much tea left, although Zhen Feng fried some later, but the quantity was still too small.

The weather is cold, in order to ensure the problem of tea, Dr. Tea and other candied fruits are on before starting to pour tea, for this thing, only a red paper explains, more rely on the guests to taste. However, they had already heard from the mouths of the princes and ministers that the new pear orchard had good tea, which was very fragrant, and it really had a different taste when they tried it at this moment. At first, I felt that the taste was too light, but as soon as I got down, the fragrance of tea spread all over the body, and the more aftertaste, the more rare it was, and they praised each other.

Originally, it was just a differentiated service, but in the eyes of the people behind, his treatment was still a lot worse. A middle-aged man sitting in the back suddenly stood up at this moment and shouted, "Why don't we have tea?" We paid five dollars to get in! ”

A guard ran over and explained: "This official, the ticket price in different areas is different, and the corresponding service is also different. In the new pear orchard, only the officials in the front row have tea for fifteen yuan a seat, which is too rare and too expensive. ”

"Hmph, what kind of tea can be ten dollars apart? We can buy dozens of catties of tea for five dollars, but we don't even give a little tea? ”

"I'm sorry, this official, this kind of tea is hard to find now, only a little tribute in the palace. The price and corresponding service of each of our locations are fixed, only for the location and not for the person. Next time you sit in front of you, the little one will be sure to serve the tea. The guard replied without humility or arrogance, without a sneer licking his face.

"You...... Your new pear orchard is too vulgar, and you forget your righteousness when you see profit, and you have an eye for money, in this case, why is it free at the beginning of the new year, is it possible to treat us as the wronged leader? ”

As soon as these words came out, some people around began to echo them, and the fire of anger erupted: "Yes, let your stewards come out, you don't cooperate with us to speak!" ”

The guard was still smiling at the moment and said, "Officials, this place is under the management of the small one, and you can find the small one if you have anything." At the beginning of the new year, we will have fun with the people, as far as the small knows, the free tickets are all standing tickets, and if you want to have seats and meals, you still need to upgrade on the spot. If you officials have already received their tickets, remind them in advance and remember to bring the money at that time. ”

"You, you...... Do you know who I am? ”

"You, like all the officials, like the princes and ministers who came before, are all our honored guests of the new pear garden."

"Humph! I am a member of the household department, you are not worthy to talk to me, go and find your steward, I want to settle the account with him, I actually settle the account on the head of the household department, I ask for a refund, I want to fight for you. ”

Zhen Fenghe had already arrived nearby, seeing all this in his eyes and hearing it in his ears. Zhen Feng touched the landing at this time and said: "It's time for you to appear, don't be merciful, the killing rod of the new pear orchard depends on this one, we have to thank this outsider." ”

Landing nodded, walked over with a calm face, and said as he walked: "Zhao Xianglu, how do you want to settle the account?" ”

The household member looked in the direction where the voice came from, and said angrily: "Who dares to call this official by his name? Is this new pear orchard so rude? ”

"Zhao Xianglu, you are just a sesame official on the sixth grade, so you dare to spread wild here, don't you feel that your wings are stiff?"

Zhao Xianglu looked at the landing, his eyes narrowed, the person in front of him was younger than himself, if it wasn't for the steward here, even if it was an official, the grade should not be as good as his own. So he said fiercely: "Who are you who dare to speak wildly, and this official can put you in prison for the crime of disrespect." ”

"Such a big official authority, even if it is Duke Xu, Chen Shumi, and General Huangfu, I have never seen such an arrogant appearance, it seems that Lord Zhao still makes people have a long eye."

At this time, someone pulled Zhao Xianglu's sleeve and whispered the identity of the landing. Zhao Xianglu's body trembled, and then stabilized again, a disdainful smile gradually appeared on his mouth, and said: "Ha, who is this official Dao, it turned out to be the Marquis of Qingjiang, oh no, now it should be a guilty body." I didn't expect a guilty person to dare to talk to this official like this! ”
