Chapter 122: Dark Team
As the person with the highest status here, Li Zhanji took the lead in speaking: "Okay, now your request has been complied with for you, can you now name your new type of printing technique?" ”
Lee Xie: "This printing technique is also easy to say. Li Xie said as he picked up a few carved plates that had been carved. Then he picked up a knife from the table, and cut the words on the engraving board one by one.
After cutting out these words one by one, Li Xie made a wooden frame and put these words into it one by one. Then point to what your heart has made:
"The real difficulty of printing books now is that it is difficult to engrave on this engraving board, and if you accidentally engrave a wrong stroke, you have to re-engrave the whole thing. This consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and my solution is very simple. Na! That's what it looks like! ”
Although Li Zhanji and Liu Zuxiang have some understanding of these technical things, they are not in this business after all, and all they know is some skin, so they are confused.
Lin Chong, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is specially made for this background, so it is clear to see. And I really understand how much convenience Li Xie's small change can bring? How much manpower and material resources can be saved.
At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid, yes, since it is difficult to engrave a whole page of a book, why not carve it word by word? When you carve a whole page of a book, if you carve a wrong word, the whole page has to be re-engraved, then when you engrave a word by word, you carve it wrong, at most it is just a re-engraving of that word.
"Little brother is really talented! A small change can make a difference in the creation of heaven and earth. Lin Chong clasped his hands into fists and made a big gift to this Li Xie.
Li Zhanji originally wanted to open his mouth to reprimand Li Xie, so that Li Xie would not be pretty, but as soon as Lin Chong's words came out, Li Zhanji couldn't scold at all.
Now that his number one engineer has seen it, Li Zhanji is a lot more relieved, but he didn't see it at all, so he still didn't know how to pretend to understand and asked:
"Lord Lin, how much do you think this stinky boy's method will speed up printing?"
"Printing speed?" Lin Chong looked at the emperor's words in surprise, as soon as he said this, it was equivalent to telling others that he was a layman.
"My lord knows that this method does not increase the printing speed. But with this method, it is really much easier for us to print books. You see, it was originally going to be carved all night, but now you only need to carve out one word at a time, and then reorganize those words one by one and get them into a frame, which not only saves manpower and material resources, but also makes it a lot more convenient and fast. ”
Li Zhanji blushed when he heard this, but he still nodded calmly: "Is that the case?" I know. Don't tell you what happened today, and don't spread the word about this printing press. ”
Although Li Zhanji also wants to attack the family as soon as possible, it is obvious that if he wants to attack the family, this printing technique alone is not enough. Therefore, Li Zhanji instructed Lin Chong not to reveal today's events for the time being.
In order not to put Li Xie on the bright side, don't underestimate the power of the family. If you just announce something about this technology today. Then tomorrow the family can find out who invented this thing?
The main reason is that when Li Zhanji pulled Li Xie to this Ministry of Industry, he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, so he will definitely be seen by many people.
Today, I pulled Li Xie to the Ministry of Industry, and tomorrow this technology will be available, even a fool can guess who provided this technology.
Therefore, for the sake of Li Xie's safety, the time for announcing this technology has to be postponed by at least three days. If you want to be foolproof, it is appropriate to postpone it for half a month or a month.
Lin Zhong didn't understand the twists and turns, but being obedient to a courtier was one of the most important criteria, so he obediently agreed. Although he is eager to release this technology right now, so that all the printing workshops under the name of the Ministry of Industry will be replaced with this technology.
After dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xie began to have a headache when he looked at these more than 100 people. But 100 people is not 100 birds, not to mention anything else, even the accommodation problem is a big problem.
In the past, when they were still hiding Feng, all this was handled by the government. For a large institution like the imperial court, 100 people is simply a drizzle.
But for Li Xie personally, these 100 people are really a big problem. But after leading them back to the yamen in Xicheng first, Li Xie looked at a three-entry courtyard, and counted the rooms one by one, but he couldn't count 100 rooms.
So although I really want to give these talents the best treatment, I have to let them squeeze it first at this time:
"I don't have many houses in my name for the time being, and now this official courtyard of the Xicheng Yamen is under my name. Let's all huddle together for a while, and when I have money, I'll build it again, or buy another place for you. ”
Li Xie didn't know that these people were actually arrested, facing unemployment and even beheading. I just think that he was originally an organized incumbent, and then he was accidentally asked for by himself. Fortunately, now not only is the establishment gone, but even the residence has become so bad.
"Adults laughed, it's good to be alive."
Li Xie: "Eh~ You are?" ”
"My lord, we were originally all members of the Dark Division, and I am Dark Twenty."
Li Xie: "You actually followed me, that's your own person, my name is Li Xie, adults and adults seem to be angry, you can call me Li Xie, Xiao Xie." ”
When she heard Li Xie's name, she was taken aback, and couldn't help but confirm: "Your Excellency is Li Xie?" The one who quelled the chaos outside the Dragon Canyon? ”
Li Xie felt very strange when he saw Dark Twenty so excited, but seeing his name so loud could surprise Dark Twenty, and after all, he couldn't help but smile and ask: "Aha, am I so famous now?" ”
Although Li Xie asked this with a smile, his words were equivalent to admitting that he was the Li Xie who quelled the chaos outside the Dragon Canyon.
Then I saw these men who were not smiling in the first place, and their expressions became serious. Dark Twenty took his head and half-knelt on the ground at first, and raised his hands into fists above his head: "Thank you, my lord." ”
The rest of them did the same, and they all knelt down. All of them shouted, "Thank you, sir." ”
didn't say anything thanks, and Li Xie didn't know what he had helped others. But as a modern person, it is always unnatural to be kneeled like this.
"What is this for? Get up, get up. How can I stand your knees? As he spoke, he helped the person up. According to Wei Yi's side, these were all real people with official positions. Although Li Xie also has an official position now, I am afraid that he is still inferior to others.
Li Xie knew that this group of men would never kneel down easily, and there must be a reason he didn't know. But when asked about the reason, Dark Twenty just lowered his head in shame, his eyes were red, his lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word.
Seeing people like this, he obviously didn't want to say it, so Li Xie didn't want to ask again. We can only settle them down first, and we will talk about these things later.
After settling people in, eating becomes a problem again. The food for more than 100 people, if Li Xie is allowed to bear it alone, I am afraid he will not be able to eat for a few days. So very simply, Li Xie sent them to the refugee area in Xicheng with a red face, and let them eat a big pot of rice with those refugees.
In the evening, while it was still dark, Li Xie hurried back home. Not long after sitting down, Su Ci came back after him.
Even if the people came back, there were more than a dozen people behind them, and every two of them carried a box. While directing them to move the boxes into the yard, Su Ci turned back to Li Xie and said:
"My lord, where do you put these things first?"
Li Xie opened one of the boxes and saw that it was full of copper coins.
