By now, he has regarded Bai He as one of the most respectable people, not only because of his identity - Li Bai's brother-in-law or the Lin family's uncle, but also because of his free dedication to movable type printing. This printing press is truly a blessing to all people in the world!

Books are the main carrier of words, and words are one of the most important ways to disseminate ideas and culture.

Think about it, this Mr. Bai is not only talented, but also wealthy, what is more rare is that he is also affectionate and righteous, his brain is more flexible and agile, he can think of what people don't want, if he can really find a way to speed up printing, it is the icing on the cake for the world's readers, for the old pen.

Bai He took a look and found that the largest printing factory in Jinling was not the printer, but the ...... Carpenter.

Yes, it's the carpenter.

As far as the eye can see, dozens of carpenters are squirming at the logs, sawing, chopping, chiseling, grinding, carving, cutting and other eighteen kinds of martial arts are in battle, and the table tennis is in full swing, if people who don't know the inside see it, they may think that this is a furniture factory, not a printing factory.

This is the "long-admired daimyo" - engraving.

There were also some people next to him who were busy printing books, and Bai He took a curious look and found that what they were printing was actually the "Wine Tasting Poems" - that is, the collection of excellent poems collected at the wine tasting conference.

Turning the title page, "I have a pot of wine" catches your eye......

"Khan ...... Although it is a very literati thing, why do we always feel a little weird......" Looking at the book of poems in front of him that still smelled of ink, especially the strange simplified Chinese characters on the page of the preface, Bai He inexplicably felt a little funny, and he endured so hard that he didn't laugh out loud.

"Speaking of which, it's also a blessing for Mr.!"

Mr. Gao laughed beside him, "Mr. held a wine tasting event, and countless good sentences were transmitted, and the professors of the college collected them and bound them into a book, which is why this wine tasting poetry collection is born." As soon as this collection of poems came out, the market was in short supply. Almost every student in the two academies of Bailu and Zuiyue has a copy, and the people of Jinling are constantly reading books. In addition, students from surrounding towns also came to buy, and the store has been open day and night since the month of the tour, but it can't meet everyone's needs......

"Hmm." Bai He just nodded, noncommittal. The style of "the sound of the wind and the rain, the sound of reading, I don't make a sound" is brought into full play.

After turning around like this, Mr. Gao brought the topic back to square one and asked, "I wonder if Mr. has seen something?" ”

"Hmm." Shirakawa nodded again.

He had long seen that the problem was coming, and there was indeed a way to speed up the printing process. Oh no, it should be said, it was possible to greatly speed up the production of the handicraft market in feudal society as a whole.

"Uncle Gao Shi, the younger generation can see that in fact, everyone is working hard to do things...... Well, it's hard, it's good! Bai He first approved.

"Sir is overrated." Mr. Gao smiled modestly, and pointed to the craftsman who helped to keep his feet on the ground and said: "These masters are all the treasures of my old pen shop, they are not only skilled, but also experienced, if they lead the handymen to work at full strength, the books that Mr. wants to print should be ......."

"The question is...... They don't work in the right way, so much so that they do more with less. Shirakawa finished the second half of the sentence.

"Can't do it?" Mr. Gao was interrupted, not angry but happy, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

"If you use an assembly line to standardize production, the printing speed is ...... I dare not say it, at least it can be increased by more than fifty percent! Bai He was confident, and added: "This method is also suitable for making movable type." ”

"Assembly line...... Standardized production? Mr. Gao was stunned again, and suddenly arched his hand: "I hope the adults will solve their doubts." ”

"Well, this assembly line is standardized for production, for example......" Bai He thought for a while, turned his head and asked Xiao Lori, "Yuan'er, let me ask you, if you are asked to make a dress for the young master, how long will you have to make it?" ”

"Myself? I don't have the same good skills as Weaver Niang, I'm afraid it's at least three or five days, right? Little Lori made a finger and frowned cutely, and it took a long time to come to this conclusion.

"And how long would it take if you were to cut your sleeves out of sight?" Shirakawa asked again.

"Isn't it just a few blinks of an eye?" The little girl played fast this time.

"What about cutting out the front and back?"

"It's just a few strokes...... "After Xiao Lori answered, she suddenly asked: "Why is the young master asking this?" Do you want Yuan'er to make you clothes? ”

"Uh-huh!" Bai He teased her, "You are the young master's intimate little padded jacket, and I am the most comfortable to wear the clothes you make, young master." ”

"But Yuan'er's craftsmanship is not good, and it's ugly ......to make clothes," little Lori frowned very seriously.

"Haha......" Bai He laughed, didn't tease her anymore, turned his head and spread his hands to Mr. Gao: "Uncle Shi, that's probably the situation." If there are seven or eight people here, each of them doing one thing, he cuts out the cloth pattern, another person is responsible for splicing the cloth pattern, another person is responsible for sewing the sleeves, and another person is for locking the buttons...... So, tell me, how many clothes can they make in a day? ”

Mr. Gao hissed and gasped on the spot, this method is really ......

His son Gao Laosan obviously understood this section, and said in a daze: "In this way, the printing speed will have to be increased several times, right?" It's as simple as 50 percent......"

When a few old craftsmen who were close around heard these words, they couldn't help but stop, looking at Bai He blankly, and they didn't even feel pain when the tools in their hands "clanged" and hit their feet.

Only Lan Qingming, the little fresh meat, asked after realizing it: "Is this the case...... Aren't they the same size? ”

No one answered him that question.

Isn't the so-called standardization a standard for everything? And the assembly line, isn't it just that one person is only responsible for one thing, division of labor and cooperation?

It's that simple.

Mr. Gao is a decisive person, and after he came to his senses, he made a decision on the spot and convened a group of masters to immediately discuss the production of the assembly line. Then, he humbly asked Bai He for other details, and Bai He answered them one by one with his super high vision.

Finally, Mr. Gao asked about the materials used to make movable type, and Bai He had a good suggestion on this point: Lead, Bi Sheng, who invented movable type printing in his previous life, didn't he make movable type?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said it, Gao Laosan said coldly: "No, Brother Bai, there is another thing that is much better than lead, ceramics." ”

"Ceramic?" Bai He frowned.

"Exactly." Gao Laosan nodded and said, "Eight parts of clay, mixed with two parts of Vermilion Bird clay, the fired black porcelain is not only light in texture, but also as hard as iron, and it is easier to shape when making movable type, and it is more than a step better than metal in all aspects." ”

"Vermilion Bird Mud ......" Bai He was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and always felt that this thing was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. At this time, Lan Qingming suddenly laughed too, "Eh, this is good...... The steamer in the distillery is also mixed with Suzaku mud, which is really good. ”

Steamer!

Bai He suddenly remembered the big furnace that Li Bai saw in the distillery on the day he returned from Shendu, and couldn't help but sweat wildly: Empiricism kills people! We always think about the lead type in our previous life, why do we forget that there are fantasy specialties in this world?

Well, it seems that you can't force it anymore in the future, and if you encounter such a thing again, you can point to the general direction, and leave the details to them to tinker with......

After making up their minds, everyone discussed for an hour, and finally decided on a plan.

Bai He never forgot his book, and asked again: "Then may I ask Uncle Shi, with this assembly line standardized production and movable type printing, when will this book be printed by the younger generation?" ”

Mr. Gao pondered for a moment before replying, "Five days if it's fast, and seven or eight days if it's slow." He looked at Bai He, seemed to see what he was thinking, smiled a little ashamedly, and said, "Sir's method is too ingenious, even if you are old, you really can't estimate how fast it can be, these five to eight days are also calculated according to what Mr. said about the increase of fifty percent." ”

This is indeed the reason, Bai He couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Or not...... Be a man to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since you have sent Gao Laosan this creation, you might as well add another fire!

Thinking so, he turned his head and smiled at Mr. Gao, "Uncle Shi, you guys are busy first." The junior will go and ask you for a helper, if she helps, it will definitely be completed within three days! ”

"Oh? I don't know who is so capable? Mr. Gao was surprised and delighted.

"Seruban."

"It turned out to be her!" Mr. Gao suddenly realized and was overjoyed.

The name of Sailuban Gong lost seven, in the eyes of ordinary people, may only be a "skilled craftsman" level, and in the eyes of the Jianghu people, he is at most a "good" master, but in the manufacturing industry, it is a master at the level of a great master! With her shot, it's okay to take a top hundred! Mr. Bai is really a master, his friends are either poets or great masters, and the lady is also a chosen one, which is really not comparable to ordinary people!

At that moment, some of the manuscripts left by Bai He let Gao Xiansheng people print some of them first, and after Xiao Qi came to help them finish the movable type, they would go both ways, so that they would be able to greatly speed up. In order to pretend to be forced in front of the second lady, this product is also fighting!

"Then I'll leave first, Uncle Gao Shi, goodbye." As soon as he said goodbye, Bai He said goodbye and left, taking Lan Qingming and Xiao Lori to the Da Zhou Winery.

Mr. Gao sent him out of the door, and it wasn't until the three of them walked away that he remembered that he hadn't finished reading the manuscript, so he took a few looks.

In the middle of the sound, Mr. Gao suddenly said "Huh": "I thought that Mr. Bai was just currying favor with the second lady and writing for fun, but I didn't expect that it contained such profound Taoist essences!" This book...... It's not easy! ”
