Chapter Eighty-Three: The Bold Chen Tong

"I told you there, no noise here!"

An eight-foot-tall man slammed open the door with his bare body and yelled at the people outside the door.

A palm-thick heart guard hair on his chest fluttered on his chest in a mess, and his appearance was extremely vicious.

"Be merciful!" Yun Lang only had time to shout these four words, and the big man was kicked up by Liu Che's guard who was like a man and a bear, and before he could hit the ground, four equally strong guards had already chased after him, and the long sword on his waist had been unsheathed, and he slashed down on the limbs of the big man.

"Don't hurt him!" Liu Che still looked at his surroundings, not caring at all about the threat posed by this suddenly appearing big man.

The palm-wide broadsword in the hands of the four guards suddenly changed from a slash to a horizontal slash, and Yun Lang bared his white teeth and heard four loud iron swords slapping on the fat meat, just listening to the sound, he knew that it should be painful.

The big man didn't have time to scream, his chin was pinched by a pair of big hands, and with a little force, his mouth opened, and a walnut-sized wooden ball with eyes was stuffed into his mouth, and it was firmly tied to the back of his head with two straps attached to the wooden ball, and at the same time, the cow tendon rope with the thickness of the little thumb had fallen on the guy's body, and in the blink of an eye, the image of the strong man with four hooves had appeared in front of Yun Lang.

The long sword in the man-bear's hand was pointed at the back of the guy's head, and he could only obediently clubbed his head to the ground, even if the pain in his body was about to drive him crazy, he didn't dare to move.

"That's what you call talent?" Liu Che looked at the frightened Chen Tong with interest.

Yun Lang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "His name is Chen Tong, he is the best at lettering in his life, and he has been carving for generations, and he is the best carving plaque craftsman in Yanglingyi and even Guanzhong." ”

Liu Che nodded and pointed to the four words "There is a way not to let go" on the lintel: "I am strange, these four words look good at first glance, but they lack charm, this person hasn't read many books, right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it is ridiculous, as long as these words are separated, there is nothing that this person does not know, there is no one who can't write, if they are connected together, then I don't understand the meaning."

Liu Che laughed, raised his feet up the steps and looked around, and said, "So, the reason why this person knows words is because he makes a living?" ”

"That's why he knows words, but no one teaches him what they mean."

Liu Che said lightly: "After all, it's just a craftsman, is the talent in your mouth such a person?" ”

Liu Che was a little disappointed.

Yun Lang took out a wooden board from the house, put it at the door and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is where the value of this person lies." ”

Liu Che walked in and glanced at the wooden board, and found that these words were engraved in reverse, and recognized them for a moment before reading softly: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, good gentleman...... This is "Guan Ju", what is it carved on the wooden board? ”

Yun Lang took another piece of paper, pasted it on the wooden board and said: "If you smear the ink on the wooden board, then cover it with paper, sweep it flat with a broom, and then remove the paper, this poem "Guan Ju" will be printed on paper, and then the paper will be bound into a book, and it will be a book!"

Your Majesty, look, there are some half-finished products here. ”

"Huh?" Liu Che was surprised, and walked quickly to the front of the semi-finished product that Yun Lang said, only to see a black piece on the paper, and the white trace in the middle was the appearance of the word. Then he asked puzzledly: "It's better to copy it by hand." ”

Yun Lang said with a smile: "One book, two books and ten copies, naturally it is faster to copy by hand, if these books need thousands of copies, they will naturally be printed quickly." ”

Liu Che thought for a moment and nodded: "My proclamation, the law, if it is also printed in this way, it will indeed reduce the work a hundred times.

It's just that the handwriting is blurry, and it's not easy to read. ”

"Your Majesty, the words carved on these wooden boards are engraved in yin, and if you want the handwriting to be clear, you need to use yang carving.

The difference between Yin engraving and Yang engraving is that the handwriting printed is white, and there is a large black in the rest of the place, and the words printed by the Yang engraving are black, and the rest of the place is white, so that the handwriting is much clearer. ”

Liu Che looked at the yang-carved wooden board that Yun Lang brought over, and asked with some joy, "Is it already ready to be printed?" ”

Yun Lang saw that the rest of the craftsmen were kneeling on the ground and were as well-behaved as quails, and knew that they could not count on it, so he took it personally, took the ink, brushed it on the yang plate, waited for a while, and the stable brushed the paper on the wooden board with a broom, and then gently removed it, and printed six or seven sheets in a row before stopping.

Yun Lang pointed to the three pieces of paper torn in it and said: "It's still not possible, the viscosity of the ink is too strong, it will break the paper, and it will also reduce the printing speed, and it is necessary to continue to improve the ink, Weichen thinks that a small amount of beeswax should be added to the ink, but after adding beeswax, it is difficult for the ink to stick to the paper, which requires Chen Tong to continue to experiment, until they find an ink that can not stick to the printing plate, but also clearly adhere to the paper. ”

Liu Che suddenly smiled, pointed at Yun Lang and asked, "This is what you studied in Northwest Polytechnic University?" “

Yun Lang immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, these elementary school questions and university questions are all left to the doctors of the dynasty." ”

Liu Che glanced at Yun Lang meaningfully and said, "After these elementary school questions are thoroughly figured out, they are much more useful than those university questions."

Most of my big men are poor doctors, and there are fewer people like you who do small things, hahaha...... Learning, learning, how much learning there is in the world...... Experiment slowly, and when you find the right ink, tell me. ”

After Liu Che said this, he left this small printing workshop, and for some reason, Yun Lang always felt that the Han emperor seemed to be a little sad.

Although the workshop is not big, Liu Che still watched it for two hours, and when he left, it was the time when the sun was setting.

Gillian also ended her card game, and got into a big carriage with Liu Che and went back to Changmen Palace.

Song Qiao and the noble lady also seemed extremely excited, today is the right time, not only played a game of cards with the Gillian noble, but also met His Majesty, although His Majesty didn't even mean to look at them, they were still chattering happily like birds.

Su Zhi was crying and holding a very heavy camphor wooden box, Yun Lang opened it and saw that it was full of gold ingots and various jewelry, if the small farmer got one of them, he would be able to faint happily, and Su Zhi looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing Song Qiao take the unsatisfied women to the house to play cards, Su Zhi threw the wooden box to Yun Lang and said aggrievedly: "They don't allow me to play cards, they only let me watch from the side, no matter who wins, they will stuff me with a gold ingot...... Husband...... They all bullied me and treated me like a child. ”

Yun Lang hugged Su Zhi and patted her on the back and smiled: "Now come with me to see someone, and when you see him, you will understand that those people are spoiling you, not bullying you." ”

The emperor had been gone for a while, Chen Tong was still thrown to the ground by his four hooves, and his four disciples were still kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to move.

Su Zhi looked at the four terrifying red graves on Chen Tong's body in horror, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's already on the internal organs." ”

Yun Lang sighed and untied the strap behind Chen Tong's head, took out the wooden ball in his mouth, pinched his cheek and held it hard, and closed the fallen jaw.

Chen Tong didn't wait for Yun Lang to slowly untie his rope and move his mouth, so he kept his saliva and asked, "It was Your Majesty who came just now?" ”

Yun Lang nodded and said, "You are the most courageous person I have ever met, and the one with the best luck among the people I have ever met." ”

Chen Tong nodded, but his eyes were white, and he fainted with a click.

Su Zhi took out the silver needle he was carrying, and chose the thickest one to pierce the blood ridge on Chen Tong's body, and a stream of dark red blood gushed out along the gap between the blood needles, seeing that the blood was exhausted, Yun Lang yelled at Chen Tong's disciple: "What are you still kneeling for, come and take care of your master." ”

The four apprentices who knelt there like clay carvings and wooden sculptures seemed to be cut off by Yun Lang's voice, and their souls were revived, and each of them groaned and fell to the ground softly, and one of his crotch was soon wet.
