Chapter 170: Movable Type Printing Innovation

Early the next morning, Zhang San went to the engraving room with six books. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info first called the old grandson who came over to manage here, the old grandson is the old carver of the official lettering room, because he was old and was kicked out, and he happened to be recruited.

After the old grandson came over, Zhang San left him one of the six books, and asked him to carve out the words that were not in the middle first. The others are carved slowly.

Zhang San called the workers to take away all the engraved lead characters, and opened up a yard in the backyard to be used as a printing workshop, this work is also responsible for the old people in the house, the first requires the old and the young to have a complete family, and the second requires honesty.

Zhang San went to the oil mill to get some soybean oil, and then went to the warehouse where the ink and some other materials with ink were taken to the distillation room, and then it was concocted, and it was brought to the printing workshop, and then went to the carpenter's workshop to ask them to make a wooden plate, and went to the blacksmith's workshop to get a thin iron rod. Such a simple tool for printing movable type is all in place.

Then Zhang San began to be busy typesetting in the workshop, and a page of the book was quickly typeset, Zhang San squeezed them tightly, fixed the reserved slots on the characters with iron rods so that they would not move, and finally got stuck in the wooden plate, and all the processes were completed.

Zhang San took a brush to brush the ink, spread the paper and brushed the back of the paper with a clean brush, opened the paper to see, a page of content was clearly printed on the paper, Zhang San asked the worker after finishing: "How is it?" Have you learned? ”

The workers looked at each other, and one boldly said, "That, Childe, we are illiterate?" ”

Zhang Sanyi patted his head and remembered that these people seemed to be illiterate. After thinking about it for a while, only Lehe's sister seemed to be literate. It just so happens that the girl is careful and makes a mistake in the province. It's just that there must be a correction in the typography. It's just that there aren't many literate people to trust.

After turning around, Zhang San remembered that Hu Ge's mother, Hu Li, was also literate, and Hu Ge's enlightenment was taught by her, Zhang San called the two people over, told them again, and demonstrated how to typeset again, and the two of them understood after listening to it.

In this way, the two of them typeset, a school team, and then those workers are responsible for printing and binding and other steps, Zhang San specially arranged for Lelan, if there are missing words, write them on the paper and send them to the engraving room. Before the Chinese New Year, try to finish carving these six books, and print 100 copies of each of them.

The two nodded in agreement and got to work. Zhang San looked at it for a while, felt that there was no problem and left.

Zhang San went to the engraving room to take out the poker printing plate they had engraved last time, and took it to the overprint workshop, which was the same size as the finished paper in the paper mill, and was being cut after printing. There is no complicated pattern printed on the back, so as not to be marked after a printing error.

The color of the flower is Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum, four gentlemen, and the points are also written in the man's one, two, three, four until thirteen. The big king and the little king were changed to two-color peonies. In this way, except that the rules have not changed, this kind of poker has completely become something that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can understand and understand.

Zhang San put this engraving in the overprint room, and originally wanted to merge the overprint room with the movable type printing workshop, but in consideration of safety issues, Zhang San finally decided to do it separately.

The poker paper can be delivered in the last two or three days, so Zhang San now has all the toys in the chess and card room. In the end, Zhang San still failed to make the Great Song version of the military flag, because he really didn't have any hobby for soldiers and the army.

Among the games that Zhang San sent over a while ago, Tianjiu was the most popular card to play, and checkers was the fastest to sell. Because of the transformation of woodworking tools, the difficulty of making small wooden chips of regular size has been greatly reduced, making the production cost of mahjong lower, and after Zhang San's price reduction, mahjong has gradually become popular.

It's just that the spread is not very widespread now, so it is only limited to people who go to Yixing and play to buy, so the sales are not enough to operate as a big business. So Zhang San only recruited more than a dozen people to do this thing.

Zhang San had already told the old brothers in the vegetable garden that he would find a place in the east city, the west city, and the south city, or rent or buy it, and prepare to open a righteous and prosperous Hutchison. The West Side has been completed and is being renovated, and they are also talking about other venues. But it is estimated that the door will not be opened before the year.

Zhang San's initial idea was that only by promoting Yixing Hutchison could his various game supplies be sold well, but yesterday's gift-giving incident made Zhang San think of another way, that is, to send some to the princess and those officials.

After everything is done here, it is already lunch time, Zhang San went to the school cafeteria to eat a little, although these children have not been here for two days, but their complexion is obviously much better, some of them are more seriously ill, Zhang San also spared no money to send to the famous doctor for treatment.

Although the children are innocent but not stupid, who is good to them, who is sincere to them, they can feel it, so Zhang San walked in the school Every child who saw him would bow to him and say hello to the principal, Zhang San would nod in return when he saw it.

Recently, the weather is getting colder and colder, Zhang San has been arranging for monkeys to be sent back when they meet a lone or sick little beggar, and the dormitory is also stepping up construction, and the workers also know that they build these houses to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so they are willing to work hard, come over before dawn every day to work for a while, and then eat some food in the canteen and continue to do it, and work until they are out of sight at night.

Zhang San has increased the number of people, and after everyone divides and cooperates, one or two houses can now be built every day, which can support Zhang San's non-stop recruitment of orphans. Now the children are still in the enlightenment stage, and they don't need books to recognize words and learn mathematics, so Zhang San has been taking the time to do the book compilation, but he is not in a hurry.

In the afternoon, before class, some children are playing hopscotch, boys are playing Kemari, some are chasing and fighting, and some are sleeping in the dormitory, or doing laundry. Some of the children gathered around Yang Tai and them from a distance, watching Yang Tai and them practice martial arts.

When Zhang San went to look for Yang Tai, Yang Tai finished using a set of marksmanship, Zhang San looked at it and asked, "Brother Yang, why haven't you seen Brother Wang come over recently." ”

Yang Tai smiled and said, "Maybe I'm embarrassed, let's take a look at Luan Tingyu's direction after speaking." ”

Zhang San suddenly realized, after this Wang Jin was beaten into a panda eye by Zhou Dong, he was really embarrassed to see Zhou Dong's apprentice, Zhang San said with a smile: "Brother Yang has just broken through recently, I want to ask Brother Shi and Brother Wang for advice, and if you have time, you can go to Old Man Zhou and ask him to guide you." So as not to do it behind closed doors. ”

Yang Tai nodded and said, "I have already gone to see Brother Wang when I didn't have class in the morning, but I was embarrassed to go to Old Man Zhou's side, for fear of disturbing him." ”

Luan Tingyu on the side said: "Hey, Brother Yang, where is it, my senior brother likes to carry the latter the most, it's too late for him to be happy when you go, how can you be idle." You just have to go, if you're embarrassed, I'll let my senior brother take the time to come over, he also wants to see the third brother's righteousness. ”
