"Lang Jun, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Xi'er walked behind Wei Renshi and said to Wei Renshi, who was lying on the desk.

Wei Renshi stretched, rubbed his eyes, turned his head and said to Xi'er: "You rest first, I have to write these things out overnight." Originally, I said that I would send it over this evening, but I didn't have time to do it, so I had to get up early to send it. ”

In front of Wei Renshi was a hand-copied newspaper. There are different sections on it, some comment on the affairs of the imperial court, some put forward their own views and opinions, there are rumors in the market, there are also stories, and there is also a page in which there are some new good poems and articles, and there are glass houses in the cracks, Wei Ji Distillery, Weinan Coal Yard, Green Vegetables, etc., the content can be said to be very rich, which can meet the tastes and preferences of different people of different classes, different identities, etc.

The layout and the different content themes in different layouts have all been decided by Wei Renshi, and now the difference is only the content.

Because the content of the newspaper is for the world to read, and current affairs and politics are one of the important aspects. Although the Tang Dynasty was civilized, it was still a big crime to discuss the government in vain. Therefore, Wei Renshi didn't dare to be too straightforward before Li Shi clearly agreed, and the government and things he picked were all not too important.

"If Lang Jun doesn't sleep again, the sky will be bright." Xi'er still said to Wei Renshi: "Didn't Lang Jun say that if you stay up too late at night, your eyes will not be able to see clearly?" ”

Wei Renshi put down his pen and smiled: "Once in a while, it's no problem." It's not like I stay up late every day to write. It's almost over, and it doesn't take a stick of incense to almost finish. ”

"Then Lang Jun write quickly!" Xi'er walked to the table and cut the lamp again, making the room brighter again.

Then he sat down at the table, propped his chin and continued to watch Wei Renshi pick up the pen.

Wei Renshi nodded, and worked hard to write again, until he finished this hand-copied newspaper, and then transcribed several articles written by Han Yu and several people under pen names, so that the font was consistent, and it looked a lot neater.

When the whole newspaper was finished, Wei Renshi lay down in his clothes in the small room behind the study and hurriedly fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Renshi didn't sleep for a long time, and he had something on his mind, so he got up early, personally took this hand-copied newspaper, asked Gou Er to drive the carriage, and pulled himself to Chongwen Pavilion.

Next to the Chongwen Museum, there is a printing workshop. The owner of the pavilion had already received an explanation from the prince, took Wei Renshi there, told the people in the printing workshop to do what Wei Renshi instructed, and left to get busy.

Taking advantage of the typesetting and printing, Wei Renshi talked with the craftsmen of the workshop.

"Master Tan, I want to build a printing workshop by myself, you say, where can I find a craftsman who knows how to print?" Wei Renshi asked.

Master Tan is an old craftsman in the printing workshop, and when he heard Wei Renshi ask, he replied: "If you go back to the lord, there are not many printing craftsmen outside, and there are the most printing craftsmen in the Jixian Palace Academy, followed by those in the Guozijian, then in the Hongwen Pavilion, and finally in our Chongwen Pavilion." If you want to recruit a few, I'm afraid it's hard to find them outside. In these places, you can recruit some. ”

"The people in here, the printers, can also be recruited by me?" Wei Renshi asked.

Master Tan nodded and said, "As long as it's not punished by being a slave, it's fine." ”

"To tell the truth, I want to build a few printing workshops and print some books, but at the moment I lack a master who knows everything and a few craftsmen." Wei Renshi said to him: "I don't know if Master Tan can help keep an eye on it, if anyone intends to go outside to do it, tell me." Naturally, the wages will definitely be full. The master's words, like the masters of other workshops in my Zhuangzi, can usually use that workshop to do the work outside, and I will pay him three times each. As for the craftsmen, they are paid half a month. ”

"What are you?!" Master Tan was taken aback and said, "Sir, it's not an old man's broken mouth!" I'm afraid your salary is too high! There are also those who are allowed to secretly take on private work outside, but I have never seen it! ”

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "The workshop in my Zhuangzi, whether it is an ironsmith workshop, a carpenter's workshop, or a kiln, has always been like this. Master Tan, please keep an eye on me. ”

"Don't dare! The lord commanded, and the old man should do it! Master Tan hurriedly saluted, but his expression had changed a little.

Wei Renshi saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, didn't he mean to say it to you on purpose. It would be great if this Master Tan could come.

Not to mention anything else, looking at the popularity of the martial arts stories told by those storytellers in Chang'an City, if they are printed and sold, it will also be a profit.

There are already a lot of printing craftsmen in Chongwenfang, and many sets of movable type have been made, so the efficiency is still very fast.

In addition, Wei Renshi just tried to see the effect of printing this time, only one copy, so it was only a few words, and the finished product was already in Wei Renshi's hands.

Wei Renshi flipped through it and was very satisfied.

It's just that his own font is not good enough after all, so that although the article in the newspaper is neat, it is also less beautiful.

In the future, it is best to find a few people who are good at regular script and transcribe the final article in the same regular script font, which will be pleasing to the eye.

And the paper is a little softer.

Wei Renshi was a little panicked, could it be that he had to build another paper-making workshop?

That's a bit of a big investment.

However, the paper-making workshops could also produce other kinds of paper in the future, and it seems that the later improved paper-making techniques were much cheaper, and it might be possible to try them - but that will be for later. For now, let's send this newspaper to Li Yu first.

"Second brother dog, go to the East Palace!" Wei Renshi got into the carriage, took back the newspaper, and said outside the carriage.

When the carriage arrived at the East Palace, Wei Renshi was able to enter and meet Li Yu after being informed.

The physician was sticking needles into him, and the other was massaging his arm and a leg.

Seeing Wei Renshi enter, Li Yu smiled bitterly: "When I woke up this morning, half of my body suddenly became numb, but the old problem of loneliness is serious again." ”

"Please take care of your health, Your Highness!" Wei Renshi had no choice but to salute and say.

Li Yu nodded, and Wei Renshi waited for the imperial doctor to retire and leave, and then stepped forward again.

"Your Highness, this is today's newspaper." Wei Renshi handed the newspaper in his hand to Li Yu and said.

"Oh?!" Li Yan, who was moving his arm, hurriedly took it over: "Wei Xianzi actually finished it so quickly?!" ”
