Li Ming had been in contact with the formula of ink before, but after a long time, it was inevitable that he would forget a lot, and the craftsmen of the workshop worked tirelessly for three days and three nights before they could prepare the most suitable formula.

The key is the production of the printing press, and it will take some time to study it from scratch.

Knowing that he couldn't force it, Li Ming also temporarily shifted his attention to government affairs. As Xi Zhicai said, this transfer is very meaningful, at least it can give him three to five years to do other things.

Not long after, Huiji County, Yuzhang County and Wu County jointly issued a decree, and the county magistrates under their command went to the new county seat to take up their posts after receiving the news. In addition, the officials of Luling County and Fujian County were also exchanged with each other.

In these years, there is no concept of a major transfer of the eight military regions, but it is not difficult for a smart person to guess Li Ming's intentions. In fact, not only the county officials, but also the county officials and county officials were also disrupted for transfer. Gu Yan went to Yuzhang County to serve as a county leader, Zhou Shang became a county governor of Huiji County, and the original county governor of Yuzhang County went to Wu County.

The internal transfer of the three counties, Li Ming didn't even report to Chen Wen, after all, the three county guards had already agreed with each other, how could Chen Wen be allowed to take advantage of this opportunity to mix sand towards the three counties?

In recent years, the news has been blocked, especially in the Jiangdong area, as long as Li Ming does not hype it up, it is difficult for the outside world to know what is happening in Jiangdong. On the other hand, through Zhou's Inn, Li Ming was able to know the things of the north and south, especially when the inn had opened a store in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and even Chang'an, news continued to gather from all directions.

"In the next three years, Zhige will stay in Huiji County." Li Ming looked at the acquaintance in front of him, but it was Bai Xin, the eldest son of the Bai family, according to the principle of this exchange, he would serve as a gongcao in Huiji County in the past three years, and Wei Teng would go to Wu County to serve as a gongcao.

"In this big transfer, many officials in the county have opinions, and it took a lot of time for subordinates and Lingxing to appease." Bai Xin arched his hand, he had also thought about making Wang Yu independent before, but this idea was no longer with the marriage between the Wang family and Li Ming.

"Many of the county officials of Wu County have been in office for more than three years, and they are about to become soil emperors. If you don't move them often, you can't really think of yourself as an emperor. Li Ming said disdainfully.

Ling Xing is also very respectful of this, the new official takes office, the subordinates are not familiar with it, and many relationships have to be re-operated. It's just that the two of us are also worried that in the long run, will there be more and more connections in these families, and when the time comes, I am afraid that even if it is the lord, it will be difficult to deal with! Bai Xin kindly reminded.

"You don't need to do this for a long time, you just need to stabilize them for three to five years!" Li Ming smiled, and then pulled Bai Xin into the carriage, "Take you to see some good things!" ”

The carriage came to the workshop in the suburbs, and Bai Xin keenly found that it was actually heavily guarded. When you enter the workshop, you can smell the smell of ink from afar.

"This is ......" Bai Xin couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't ask in detail, after all, he had already seen the machines.

It took ten days to build pure wood, and then it took ten days to improve, and it took more than a month before and after, and it was officially put into production in mid-September, and more than 30 aircraft were built, for which Li Ming consumed fifty percent of the annual income in it. It is said that engaging in science and technology is burning money, and I am honest!

"Look at this!" Li Ming picked up a copy of the Analects, which had been printed and bound, and handed it to Bai Xin.

"This ...... This ......" Bai Xin opened it and looked at it, it was a thread-bound book, and there was a smell of ink on it.

The skin is made of waterproof kraft paper, which can extend the life of the book. The second page begins with a white paper, and the handwriting inside is clearly visible, and it is rare that the size and font are the same.

A copy of the Analects, printed on both sides, is really not very thick, even so Bai Xin read it word by word for a long time. Especially some of the punctuation marks in it, he couldn't figure out why after reading it for a long time.

"Let's take a look at this in conjunction with this!" Li Ming probably understood why the other party was like this, so he simply flipped through it, pulled out a copy of "Punctuation", and after thinking about it, he took out a copy of "Pinyin".

"Who are these two books?" Bai Xin flipped through it briefly, and there were applications for various punctuation marks. Especially in pinyin, the characters are a bit strange, and it is a lot more convenient than "Erya".

"These two books are currently only being disseminated in the Li clan studies, and they have been promoted in the Huiji Academy in the near future, and will be fully promoted in the future. The first emperor ruled the world, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same text, why can't I make a text with the same sound? Li Ming said with a smile.

"The lord is ambitious, and his subordinates admire him!" Bai Xin smiled, Li Ming was ambitious, he knew it early on.

flipped through it, and then continued: "Maybe the day when there is really a text with the same sound, even the popularization of official dialect will be saved at that time!" ”

"That's one of my goals!" Li Ming admitted it.

"It's just such a good book, how much does the lord plan to sell?" In Bai Xin's view, these three books do not have 500 texts to lose.

"One hundred essays on the Analects, one free one for pinyin and punctuation!" Li Ming said with a smile.

"My lord, is this planning to lose money and make money?" Bai Xin was taken aback, at least he would lose more than 400 texts, the key is that this book is definitely not only one book, and the more it will be published, the greater the loss.

"You think so, so trust other families, it shouldn't interfere with my book sales." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Lord...... Can you leak a little bit to your subordinates, isn't the cost of this thing less than 100 yuan? Bai Xin compared the Analects in his hand. When he came to the workshop, he saw that this book should be a printed product, and the price should not be low!

"These three books, the cost is less than a hundred!" Li Ming said with a smile, this is still the cost price obtained after deducting the cost of wages, paper and engraving.

"The lord has a great plan!" Bai Xin gritted his teeth, he knew what would happen if this kind of book was popularized in large numbers.

"I regard Zhi Ge as a confidant, Zhi Ge will not turn around and betray me, right?" Li Ming laughed.

"The foundation has been dug up, even if Bai doesn't make a move, the elders in the family are afraid that they won't be able to sit still...... However, in the eyes of his subordinates, the lord has no means of compensation, so it is better to say it so that his subordinates and the order are ready to pacify the place! Bai smiled bitterly.

"A little bit of an idea...... Probably so, what do you think? Li Ming said what he thought.

"If it can be implemented, it can be appropriately compromised, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the lord's books have been spread across the country, and the big families everywhere can't destroy one when they see one, right?" Bai Xin nodded.

In the blink of an eye, in October, a renovated store in Zhuji County opened, and it was actually the four characters of Xinhua Bookstore. Others asked the boss what Xinhua was, and the boss replied: "Since the opening of this store, Huaxia will inevitably enter a new stage, which is called Xinhua!" ”

Not only Zhuji County, but also all counties of Huiji County have the shadow of Xinhua Bookstore, and at the same time, the various sales points of the Huiji Chamber of Commerce have also temporarily laid out special areas for books. Soon, Wu County, Yuzhang County, Danyang County, Changsha County, Guangling County, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County actually had a large number of books appearing in the shop of the Chamber of Commerce.
