Chapter 314: The Significance of the Book Expo
"Mr. Liu Yushan, book three cars!"
"Old man Wang Hongbin! Book six cars! ”
Far away, I heard someone shouting at the top of his voice.
According to their routines, it is estimated that this is used to show off, which is actually the same as the effect of those gifts, everyone is here to participate in the event, and you are not doing this just to show how much your book is.
Those who are invited basically have to go through the front door, and those retail investors and ordinary people basically go through the side door.
There are not many books that Li Hang brought to dry, at most more than thirty books, and when stacked, they are almost the size of two schoolbags.
This is still carefully selected by Li Hang.
After all, I have a courtyard at home, so I basically only need to dry in the courtyard, and I just come here to show off my books.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the little guy looked at Li Hang curiously.
As the most legendary talent in the entire north, it can be said that he is a legendary figure.
But at this sight, the little guy couldn't help but pout.
"Li Shangzao, books, thirty-six copies!"
It's only thirty-six!
The little guy shook his head helplessly, in the end, he was born in a poor family, and his background was not very rich.
Just as he shook his head, the carriage behind him came up again.
"Li Hang! Come on, come on, come on! Ying Yun lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved to Li Hang excitedly.
"Oh? What's a good thing? Li Hang said to Zhou Yurong and followed into Ying Yun's car.
Seeing that the people around him didn't come over to eavesdrop, he excitedly grabbed Li Hang's hand. "I am going to announce the opening of our printing hall in Beiping County today, and all books can be printed, and there is no limit to the number of books! It's just that the more you print, the cheaper the price! ”
Li Hang nodded very seriously, it seemed that this person finally couldn't sit still and was ready to start printing books on a large scale.
But that's just the beginning.
If the printing technology of this era is mainly focused on engraving printing, then if Yingyun opens a printing shop for movable type printing, the cost will drop quickly.
And if he wants to help people print, the biggest cost is not to burn those movable type blocks, which are ready now.
The biggest cost is the time it takes to typeset.
That is to say, the biggest cost is the labor cost, and in this era, it is estimated that there are many lowly slaves in the hands of his imperial grandson, and the labor cost of these people...... Wrapping up food and shelter, giving some clothes, dressing well, and eating well without freezing is already the greatest blessing.
Compared with engraving printing, which is to find a special engraving craftsman who understands calligraphy and engraving, this advantage is simply huge!
"Yes, just take advantage of today's book fair, you can also take over some business, if there is no business, do my business, if those children come to study, I will definitely prepare a complete set of books for them, then this number will be large, and considering that this book may increase in the future, I plan to use engraving printing."
The advantage of engraving printing is that the engraving can be used repeatedly, and you can always print with the engraving.
But to make this kind of textbook, to be able to use it for a long time, the engraving still has a slight advantage, after all, it will be used in the next year.
"If it's the kind that has to be printed every year, it's better to use copper plates." Ying Yun has learned a lot, and now if this printing workshop is really opened, I am afraid that the printing of the entire Beiping City will have to be in his hands, and those original printing shops, he also bought them early, and those who are willing to stay for him to do things will continue to do things, and those who are unwilling will give a sum of money to let them go.
After this kind of thing is done, his printing shop is about to open, and it is just the opportunity to start publicity.
"What will this book come from?"
Li Hang looked at him very curiously, he really didn't know anything about this kind of customary thing.
"This book party mainly comes from the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty has rules, every spring and autumn to dry books, mainly in order to better preserve the book, and there is also a collection of folk books, many nobles will take advantage of this book party, compare with each other, not to mention, even they are eye-catching books for the people, most of them are directly bought, or directly robbed, and what is done well is this, not good...... Hehe, I guess I won't give you anything if I rob it, and the most I can do well is throw a manuscript to you, and I can only look at how accurate these manuscripts are. ”
Of course, this kind of thing will not be so simple, in fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of book exhibition is a place for typical nobles to exchange their knowledge, as for ordinary people's manuscripts...... Hehe, the soul that ordinary people still have?
Even if they wanted to mix it up, they wouldn't be able to mix it up with many books.
Looking at Li Hang's half-understood appearance, Ying Yun opened his mouth at this time.
"In fact, there is another necessity for the existence of the book fair, that is, a way used by those families to win over scholars."
That's right!
Li Hang then remembered this matter, the family at this time controlled a lot of things, they not only controlled the imperial examination at this time, but also mastered knowledge, that is to say, as long as they wanted, they could use these things to control and befriend the scholars of Naxi.
The simplest reason, why are so many people obsessed with the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation? Because it's powerful, and it's the same with these gate valve families, why do these people follow these families, because the difference between you following him and not following him is too big.
If there are really more books in a family, I am afraid that there will be more than 500 books, which is for ordinary people, even a fraction of them will be envious and drooling.
Because they don't have it, they can't afford it, and many people just take this opportunity to copy books here, taking this opportunity to see if they can be valued by the family, as long as they value it, it's easy to say.
"Hahaha, it looks like you're going to woo a few too?" Seeing that he pulled two carts of books behind him, Li Hang secretly said to himself, this Ying Yun is really powerful enough, at least so many books Li Hang can't take out, and roughly swept the covers, I am afraid that all of them are all kinds of classics, and they have not been repeated, which means that these books are all kinds of good things, and there are many books that are afraid of the books of the so-called champions at the beginning.
This kind of book is very useful, just like the things that the Su family gave themselves back then, if you want to take the exam, there is a paper from the previous years, which is a good thing.
"This Beiping county is too big, I have to find some people to help me." Ying Yun said with a smile, at this time he already had an idea, at this time he already felt a little stretched, not to mention that the family also said that at this time he brought enough people, and asked him to find someone locally to help him manage the city, so what he needed in the end was for him to learn how to win over those scholars and those families here.
This is also the biggest significance of their release of Ying Yunwai.
