Five days later, Shubun Temple. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Everyone gathered in a house full of desks, ten horizontal and three vertical like a classroom for lectures and teaching. In front of the thirty desks, there was a higher table, on which was placed a pair of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a long ruler, which looked like the teacher's lectern.

Everyone stood in front of the lectern looking impatient, looking down at the six carvers sitting at their desks busy. The desk is cluttered, and all kinds of carving knives are placed in the carver's hand. Everyone's desk can still see a few half-carved templates.

"It's the first time these carvers have done this, and they haven't rested for five days, and in the end they only made five pieces, hoping to use them." The dean said earnestly.

Ye Cheng was silent, looking at the five templates carved on the table with a stern expression. It was the dean who was more anxious than anyone else if it didn't finish as planned, but blaming it at this point would only increase everyone's anxiety. Originally, it was difficult to print 200,000 copies of 10 yuan, but now it has been reduced to half, which is even more difficult.

Ye Cheng quickly took the template on the table and said, "There's no way, use these seals first, you have to hurry." Everyone came over to learn how to print, and then everyone took turns to print around the clock, hoping to catch up."

After speaking, Ye Cheng walked to the lectern behind him and spread the template flat on the table. Then he placed a large rubbing paper prepared by the dean to the side, and glanced left and right at what was not stained with ink.

He quickly looked to the right-hand side and said, "Dean, please help me find some cloth, and a small round wooden stick, don't ask why?" ”

The dean did not ask why, and the diameter left the house.

Ye Cheng took this time to check the template, the carved text was almost the same as what the dean had written, and the raised words were just right, and when he put the paper to print, he would not get the concave ink.

"Eighth brother, what did you ask the dean to do to get the cloth?" Zhu Ziju walked to his side and asked strangely.

Ye Cheng put the checked template flat on the table, "The cloth is used for ink", grabbed a brush, looked at everyone and continued, "You are now thinking that this brush is cloth, now I will show you how to print"

After speaking, Ye Cheng dipped the ink with a brush, and then evenly smeared it on the template. The black ink permeated the board, and he spread a piece of paper on it, pressed it with a book, and then gently picked it up, and a copy of the letter of probation came out.

Turning his head, he held the paper in both hands and showed it to everyone, and everyone was stunned, as if they had never seen such a magical thing.

Ye Cheng then explained, "When everyone applies ink to the template, don't apply too much, and don't let the ink on the concave side be parallel to the convex font, so that the words can't be printed."

At this time, the dean also came in with what Ye Cheng ordered.

Ye Cheng took the things in the dean's hand. Remove a piece of cloth and roll it together, tie it together at the top for easy grip, and leave a smooth surface with a round and convex shape at the bottom to dip in the ink, just like a tool for applying foundation.

After it was completely done, Ye Cheng held it up and explained, "Look, this is the brush just now," and then, he picked up a round wooden stick and continued, "This is the book just now." Now you all understand how these things are used? We have to hurry, we have 10 days left, I don't know if we can make it. ”

As he spoke, Ye Cheng's face was a little solemn and he was thinking. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to speed things up, which would greatly speed up the speed of printing.

At this time, Bai Yingping came over and took the tool in his hand, and said, "Actually, time is tight, let's start to put it"

"Hmm"

"Good"

.......

Everyone shouted eagerly.

Seeing them like this, Ye Cheng's solemn face also eased a lot. Then tell them that the solution they had just thought of was to find a square chair and put the template on it. Four people surround the chairs, and one takes a cloth and inks it; One person grabs paper and lays it on the template; One person pushes a log on the paper so that the ink is evenly printed on the paper; One person ripped the paper off the template.

This saves a lot of troublesome steps, the person who has finished the ink can start to dip the ink and wait for the next ink, and the person who has finished laying the paper can pick up another sheet and prepare it, and after the ink is evenly pushed on the paper, the other person can quickly pick it up.

According to Ye Cheng's method, five templates, twenty people, were put into operation quickly, and one by one the probation letters were copied. Although they don't have the efficient rate of thirty or forty frames per minute for large printers, they are proceeding slowly. But the printed ones can't be used at all, either the handwriting is not legible, or the paper is full of ink.

At this time, the dean picked up a probation letter with illegible handwriting, faced Ye Cheng and said, "Child, I know that although your method is good, such a probation letter is completely useless."

Ye Cheng was also embarrassed, this was their first operation, and it was normal for the effect to be bad at first.

Ye Cheng explained, "Dean, please rest assured, I believe they will get used to it soon." And now this method can greatly speed up the time, presumably in less than 10 days, 200,000 copies of the probation letter can be printed for the dean."

"Are you sure?" The dean asked with some hesitation.

"Hmm"

While they were talking, a man in a robe walked up behind the dean and whispered something in his ear.

Then the dean turned his head and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "Child, can you go with the old man to meet someone?" ”

"See whom?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Prince," said the dean.

Prince Xiao Guo! Ye Cheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect this matter to have something to do with the prince. Wu Ying said before that when you come to Xiao Kingdom, don't get involved in the struggle between the prince and the three princes, and the most important thing is that you don't know what kind of person the prince is?

Ye Cheng politely refused, "I think it's still gone, after all, we are not the people of Xiao State."

Suddenly, the man shouted, "Bold, it is your honor to be received by the prince."

The dean immediately stopped the man, "Don't make mistakes, how did the teacher teach you." ”

Hearing the dean's slightly serious reprimand, the man immediately retreated, bowed his head and didn't dare to say a word again. The dean looked at it at this time and politely apologized, "I'm sorry, it's me who can't teach and makes you angry." I still want to fight for it, and I hope you can meet the prince. ”

Hearing the man's arrogant words, Ye Cheng was still a little angry in his heart, but the elderly dean was willing to apologize for the man, and he was not so angry in his heart. Refusing politely again, he refused, "I'm sorry, I just asked for something for you, not to befriend the prince." And I'll leave as soon as I get my stuff."

"Actually, so that it is good," the dean no longer insisted on, looked at everyone who was busy printing the probation letter, and asked, "Now that the probation letter has begun to be produced, can you tell the old man first, what is what you are asking for?" ”

Ye Cheng began to be a little worried, pondered for a while, and said, "Has the dean been to the southwest of Shuide County?" There's a strange building there, and that's what I'm asking for."

"You want the Ring Light?" The dean was a little surprised.
