Ye Ping only thought a lot at that moment, he remembered that when he was studying, the teacher used to write on wax paper, and then printed hundreds of exam papers by himself, if he could get these wax papers, then printing would be very easy.

As long as you know how to write, and you can write beautifully, you will definitely be able to do this job.

Then, this kind of writing is left to the readers, and they are still willing to do it.

Compared with typetype, this kind of thing feels more noble, because it is more technical.

It's just that the puzzle is on the wax paper.

But the hard work pays off, and he is not afraid of not being able to do it at all.

Moreover, now Datang is so eager to read, and Li Shimin very much agrees that the children of the poor family can read, as long as there are 100,000 copies printed at a time, it will be enough for him to earn a lot of money. 365 days a year, every day, every day, money must be flowing into your pocket.

So, he decided to take the job.

"Shopkeeper Ye, what are you thinking?"

Du Ruhui asked again.

"Oh, it's nothing, Du Shangshu, let me ask a question, how much does a book of Analects cost now?"

"One is about two pennies!"

Du Ruhui said a shocking price.

But there are 20 volumes, adding up to 2,000 texts, and one volume is equivalent to 100 texts.

But it's still very expensive.

Ancient books were very large, and on the other hand, they took up too much paper, which caused some costs to be high.

Ye Ping thought that if you want to reduce costs, you should not only start from the printing method, but also from the number of words written on each page.

If you write with a brush, the font size is limited, but if you write with a pen, it is different.

More fonts can be written on a single page, and at least the cost can be reduced by more than 80%.

In addition, the cost of other things has become lower, and if they are allowed to do it, a book can be made for two hundred yuan, and a volume can only cost ten yuan, and the poor can afford it.

At the same time, the profit can be more than half.

Half the profit, that's quite substantial.

Therefore, he wanted to take over this job, but there were too many things that needed to be invested in the early stage, so he set his sights on Du Ruhui. This guy might be able to take advantage of it.

Du Ruhui was furious when he looked at him.

"Shopkeeper Ye, what's wrong? Something on my face? ”

He was a little scared.

"I have a way!"

"What! Are you sure? What method? ”

"This method can make the book sell for one-tenth of the original price!"

Tenth!

That's just terrible, and that means more and more people will own books, and more and more people will be able to afford them. Because the threshold has become lower, in this way, there are more readers.

"I can't tell you this method for the time being, because it's a trade secret! As a result, the price of books has come down, and you know that this is enough. ”

When Ye Ping said this, Du Ruhui had an ominous premonition, because he heard that Ye Ping wanted to make money from this.

But if this problem can be solved, what if he can make some money?

But how to make it? A book of 200 texts, just labor is not enough, right? Ye Ping must be crazy.

"I understand this, your secret, but I want to ask, can you really do two hundred essays and one Analect?"

He asked more.

If Li Shimin knew about this, he would be very happy.

"Yes, that's fine, it's just ......"

Labor costs are high, that's because labor has not been used efficiently, ten people used to do one person's work, now one person does ten people's work, the efficiency is increased by a hundred times, and the profit comes out.

"Just what?"

"It's just that I need some craftsmen to help me research something, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish such a low-priced book."

Ye Ping raised the difficulty.

Du Ru is obscure.

"If you need anything, I will directly send people to the imperial court to you, and you can dispatch them, and all expenses will be paid by the imperial court!"

Speaking of this, Ye Ping's heart was refreshed, and this was what he wanted.

What is the most expensive?

That's not even artificial, it's more expensive for those who can study it.

If they had helped him to come up with some of his own ideas, then his printing would have been achievable.

"Okay, give me a thousand!"

"What? A thousand? ”

"That's right, I need so many people to try and make mistakes!"

Du Ruhui still didn't understand why this was happening.

And Ye Ping doesn't want it in vain, why don't you say more, maybe it will be done soon?

"Good! I'm going to mobilize people now, can you fit it in your backyard? ”

"Of course."

"That's okay, I'll go first!"

After that, Du Ruhui put down the tea money and left the tavern.

As for Ye Ping, he began to inquire about how to make paper printed on wax paper.

There may be some time in the process of being studied.

……

Du Ruhui walked quickly towards the Taiji Palace.

He walked briskly, like a child.

As soon as Li Shimin saw him, he asked, "How is it?" How's things going? ”

Ye Ping said that there is a way to lower the price of the book, just one book of Analects, one can save 1,800 yuan! And he only sells 200 wen! ”

"What? Seriously? ”

"Yes!"

"Did he say when he could?"

"I didn't say this, it's just that he also asked us for a thousand professionals, and he didn't know what to do?"

"Oh? So you let those people learn what they want to do? ”

"Well, okay?"

"What's so bad? Isn't his method my method? ”

Li Shimin's thoughts, how could Ye Ping not know?

The core thing is still here in Ye Ping, even if he Li Shimin lets these thousands of people learn, I'm afraid he won't be able to learn anything useful.

Even if paper makes them learn to walk, even if it is machinery that makes them understand, they don't know how to print.

When the time comes, Ye Ping will definitely divide them into categories, and no one will want to know everything in his heart.

"Kechen still feels that something is inappropriate!"

"That's it, send someone to him, and finish it as soon as possible! Not enough to add more people! ”

"Yes!"

Du Ruhui was obviously a little helpless, but there was no way.

At noon that day, a thousand people arrived at the tavern, all of them craftsmen in the court, the elite of the elite.

In the backyard, temporary sheds were also erected for the use of these 1,000 people.

Ye Ping, hand over the searched method to them for processing.

It shouldn't take long for this wax paper to be invented. With so many people together, it can be hundreds of times faster than Sun Simiao's medical research.

And just as she was about to start, Mrs. Xue came over.
