Chapter 463: Expert Li Lang

If it weren't for the book of the Three Kingdoms on the desk, Li Huaitang would have forgotten the printing workshop he promised to build for Pei Xiaoniang.

Maybe she couldn't stand it anymore, Pei Xiaoniang pushed the door in.

"Li Lang, haven't you tossed enough? The craftsmen and workers outside the door are all looking here, ashamed to death! Pei Xiaoniang protested strongly as soon as she entered the door.

Li Huaitang was enjoying it, and he couldn't stop it, so he pulled Pei Xiaoniang over, pressed her on the chair, and skillfully performed the action of forcible picking.

"No, don't, don't, help!" Pei Xiaoniang shouted in panic.

Luck is not bad, someone really came to the rescue, and the benefactor is Shui Rouer.

"Zhang Qiu? Such a coincidence? Li Lang put down Pei Xiaoniang's jade feet happily and looked at Shui Rou'er with a hint of doubt.

Pei Xiaoniang took a long breath as if she had been pardoned, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart. What almost affected her was Linglong Shuangshu, who didn't stay in the printing house, but went out to go shopping and bought a lot of items and came back, so tired that her legs were weak. It happened that Li Huaitang walked through the printing shop, and his childlike heart was uplifted, so he pulled the twin sisters into the lounge, saying that he wanted to massage the soles of their feet to get rid of fatigue, but there was an ambiguous commotion. I don't know how bad my image will be in the after-dinner conversation of outsiders in the future.

Originally, Li Huaitang was going to the scene outside the city to learn about Zhang Qiu's careless handling of the hostages, but temporarily he changed his mind to care about the printing house, so he asked the soldiers to invite the person concerned, Zhang Qiu, to the printing workshop for inquiry.

The printing workshop is in the business area, which is very close to Huarong Yunshang, and the choice of land is the result of the discussion of a group of beauties in the house. At the beginning, Li Huaitang agreed to Pei Xiaoniang's matter, Linglong Shuangshu was unwilling to be lonely and made do, and started a gang of four with Shui Rouer, during Li Huaitang's preparation for the Battle of Shiguo, they all coaxed and couldn't wait to open this printing workshop, it can be said that this printing workshop is a collection of the hard work and efforts of the four of them.

Because the craftsmen are ready-made, Pei Xiaoniang advocated printing books while preparing for the construction, and what surprised her was that the first batch of printed Three Kingdoms Chronicles sold very well, and 500 copies were almost in short supply, and some merchants smelled the smell of copper and came to the door to ask for the publication of Adego's Koran, and the money situation of the printing workshop seemed to be very good.

When she heard that the king of the United States actually gave her husband a cottage ambush according to the routine of the Three Kingdoms, Pei Xiaoniang covered her mouth and exclaimed, although she knew that the matter was in the past, her beloved husband was sitting next to her, and what he was telling was a story.

Li Huaitang felt very pleased that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was so popular, which was a good start imperceptibly. With the sweetness, Li Huaitang's interest was even higher, and he walked around the entire printing workshop with Pei Xiaoniang. The building of the printing workshop has not yet been fully completed, but it is fully staffed, mainly thanks to Pei Xiaoniang's dowry and hundreds of skilled printers.

After a round of observation, Li Huaitang found the problem, the most important part of the printing is the engraving, in order to engrave a plate, a craftsman can be described as painstaking, they must concentrate on their work, one accidentally made a mistake, the whole page was scrapped and had to start over, miserable. The heavy workload makes the craftsmen very haggard.

Once again, Li Huaitang inadvertently demonstrated his profound knowledge, and his professional advice was like a commanding height: movable type engraving.

After hearing the concept of movable type, whether it was a professional or an amateur, Pei Xiaoniang's master and servant were all stunned, and their eyes lit up. For this reason, after a long time, Pei Xiaoniang kept wrapping around Li Huaitang and repeatedly touching his heart, muttering what she wanted to hear.

As long as you stand outside the door of the printing industry, anyone knows that Li Huaitang's idea is shocking and wonderful. The advent of movable type is equivalent to an earth-shaking revolution in the printing industry, and from then on, the printing efficiency will be 100 times, no, at least 1,000 times higher!

Some craftsmen are happy and melancholy, and the increase in efficiency means that many of them will have their jobs broken. And Li Huaitang once again showed the skills of a psychological master, gave them a reassurance, and said that he would not fire anyone casually. At the same time as the efficiency is improved, the cost is also falling sharply, the high cost of printing is equal to a high threshold, resulting in books becoming luxury consumer goods, as the cost falls to close to the surface, more people can afford to read the book, the amount of printing is rising, so the number of engravers needed will be greatly reduced, but the number of proofreaders and other positions has increased correspondingly, and the printing workshop will not have a surplus of personnel.

Zhang Qiu's arrival interrupted Li Huaitang's interest in playing with the beauty, however, Li Huaitang didn't plan to stop there, the coming day is long, hehe, the gong can be started in the second half of the night!

Shang Ling was equally persistent, chased out the door and asked, "Li Lang, you haven't told the concubine what the name of the expert is." ”

"The surname is Li Minglang." Li Huaitang didn't look back, and replied loudly to satisfy the beauty's curiosity.

"Li Lang? It's a little familiar, what a strange name, huh? Oops, Li Lang is necrotic, what about the concubine......" Shang Ling chewed slowly and finally came out of the taste, and stomped on Li Huaitang's back and complained.
