Unconsciously seven days had passed, and on this day, Lin Yi had prepared all the custom-made wooden movable type, wooden shelves, paper and other things, and placed them in a large room in the west wing, and then went to Xinyuelan to discuss things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xin Yuelan sitting in a chair gossiping with Chunyu, and when she saw him come in, Xinyue Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey! Little monk, this is the end of the month soon, can you afford this rent? Chunyu and I are two women's families, but they all point to you to earn money to support the family! ”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Madam! I've found a way to make a lot of money, but I need the help of both of you! ”

"How can we help you?" Xinyuelan squinted at him and said with a look of three points of vigilance.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Madam! In fact, you don't know, I have been busy with movable type printing during this time, and now things have been almost done, only to start printing, but one of my people is afraid that I can't be busy, so I want to ask your two sisters to help me with this little favor? ”

Xinyuelan said curiously: "The printed books in this world are all carved printed books, but what do you come up with to print books with movable type, you tell me, what is the matter with your movable type printing books?" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "Madam, you come with me, and after seeing my improved printing skills, you will understand what is going on!" As he spoke, he led Xinyuelan and Chunyu to the west wing where the wooden movable type was stored.

Xin Yuelan looked at the wooden movable type that Lin Yi asked someone to engrave, picked up a character block, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Which movable type are you talking about?" How did it make it print? ”

Lin Yi smiled: "Madam, you look carefully. As he spoke, he took a piece of paper with a poem written on it and placed it on the table. Then he took a wooden shelf, arranged the wooden movable type, in order according to the words written on the page, and placed it in the grid of the wooden shelf, and after arranging the plates, he took a brush and brushed ink on it, pressed a piece of white paper on it, and when he took it down, he saw which word had been neatly printed on it.

Lin Yi showed the paper to Xinyuelan and said with a smile: "How about it, new sister, isn't it fast and convenient, and it also saves a lot of time spent on engraving?" ”

Xin Yuelan was surprised: "You are so smart, you can think of such a good method?" I really didn't think wrong about you! ”

Lin Yi said proudly: "Of course, your husband and I are very capable?" This movable type printing book is just a little trick, and the future is limitless! What do you think? If you think about it, you really have to marry me! "Anyway, a hippie smile.

Xinyuelan glanced at him, and said coldly: "You want to be beautiful, marry this girl, unless you take 100,000 taels of gold as a bride price, don't even think about it!" ”

Lin Yi smacked his lips and said, "Tsk! No wonder people often say, Miss Qianjin, you have all this money? But it doesn't matter, in a few years, I'll save enough money to buy you! ”

Xinyuelan's eyes widened, and she scolded angrily, "What did you say? Is Miss Ben's worth measured in money? See that I don't kill you. As he spoke, gritting his teeth, his fist had already beckoned to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi had already prepared, and when he saw her punching, he hurriedly dodged and jumped away, and said with a smile: "Madame, I said the wrong thing, you are a priceless treasure, isn't this still possible?" ”

Xinyuelan stopped, looked at him stupidly and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, just call me sister, if I hear what you call me again...... Madam? Speaking of this, his eyes looked around, grabbed a Taishi chair, grabbed the two ends of the armrest with both hands, and only heard a 'click', and then folded it in two. Then he pointed to a chair and said, "This is your example!" ”

No way! What a tigress! How strong is it? It seems that I have to be careful, don't really provoke her and suffer from flesh and skin.

Lin Yi smiled: "Okay! I'm not kidding! New sister, you see, the books on the market are very expensive now, and most of the cost is spent on engraving. Nowadays, we use movable type printing technology to replace the obsolete process of engraving printing, which can greatly reduce the cost of publishing books, sell books very cheaply, and seize the book market. Nowadays, there are many people reading in Bianjing City, with a book of 300 texts, 10,000 people in the city can buy it, and you can earn 3,000 yuan, and it only takes two months, we can make a fortune? You say, don't you? ”

"How much can I earn?" Xinyue Lan's eyebrows fluttered, with a happy look on her face, and said, "Little monk, what do you say, what do you need me and Chunyu to help you do?" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "I print books alone, it's too time-consuming!" It's really too busy, but this movable type printing skill is my magic weapon to make a lot of money, and it must not be passed on, so I want to ask you and Chunyu people to help me print books together, I am responsible for typesetting and sales, you and Chunyu are responsible for printing books at home, binding, when the time comes, we make money, 28 open, what do you think? ”

Xinyuelan glared at him and said, "Beautiful you? I rented the house, and I took care of your food and daily life, so why do you have to give me half of it? The two of us divide it in half, and each person takes fifty percent, otherwise this business will not be done? Please be smart! ”

Sample? Will also be our army, anyway, you will be the meat in my pot sooner or later, even if it is all given to you? In the future, I will save money and accounts to you after I get married! Lin Yi laughed and said, "Okay! Everything depends on you, half of us, half of us! ”

A satisfied smile appeared on Xinyuelan's face. Next, Lin Yi seriously taught Xinyuelan how to print books, how to bind, and even taught them the art of master and servant typesetting at her request. ”

The two of them were very smart and serious in learning, so they quickly mastered the skills of movable type printing, and tried to print more than a dozen pieces of paper, looking at the neatly printed words on the paper, Xinyuelan and Chunyu smiled very sweetly on their faces.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi went to Liu Wubian's house again, Liu Wubian still did not come back, and now it is the eve of the Oiran competition, many prostitutes have asked him to compose lyrics, so he is naturally too busy to go home. However, Liu was very happy, and Liu Xinyi collected all the poems written by Liu Wubian on weekdays, put them in a wooden box, and Liu Xinyi carried them, and walked to the house rented by Lin Yi together.

"Madame! This is the first person in the capital, Liu Xinyi, the daughter of Mr. Liu Wubian, who came to supervise us to print his father's book? Lin Yi introduced with a smile.

"Welcome...... "Xin Yuelan replied with a somewhat unnatural face, and Chunyu kept a straight face, pouting her mouth, and there was a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

Lin Yi smiled again: "Miss Liu, this is my wife and her maid, they will take care of the printing of books at home, now let's not delay the work, hurry up and print the books!" ”

Liu Xinyi glanced around and asked suspiciously, "Brother Lin, don't you need to engraving?" Why don't you see a piece of wood for carving a slab here? ”

Lin Yi smiled: "This is our exclusive secret technique, you just need to leave your father's poetry collection and come to pick it up tomorrow!" ”

Liu Xinyi shook her head and said: "This poetry collection is my father's treasure, I can't give it to you easily, I won't leave tonight, I will live in your house!" ”

Yes! People don't worry about us, for fear that we will run away with the poetry collection, which is understandable. It's just that you're a girl and live in a stranger's house, aren't you afraid? Ha ha! If you want to live, you can enjoy and appreciate the beautiful women, and stimulate the master and servant of the Crescent Orchid! Maybe, she has a sense of crisis, so she can't wait to get into our bed? Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately smiled and said, "Okay! You can stay here, and when I finish printing the book, we will take it to the street and sell it together!" With that, he instructed Chunyu to clean up a room for Liu Xinyi and invite her to stay, while he and Xinyuelan arranged the version overnight.

There are more than 100 poems of Liu Wubian obtained this time, and Lin Yi picked up about sixty or seventy poems of the essence as a manuscript, because the number of words is not much, so it is easy to arrange the version, and after Chunyu made a meal, he also came over to help. By the time of the third watch at night, Lin Yi had already printed more than a dozen poetry collections and bound them into a book. The three of them were also tired at this time, so they went back to their rooms to sleep!

On the second day, Lin Yi handed a printed book of poems to Liu Xinyi's white and tender little hands, and asked with a smile. "Miss Liu, please see, how is your father's book of poems printed?"

Liu Xinyi took the poetry collection, looked through it carefully, and said in surprise: "Brother Lin, why did you print it quickly, how did you do it?" ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Last night, I invited the fairy sisters in the sky to come down to earth, and they helped me seal it together!" ”

Xinyuelan and Chunyu heard it on the side, their faces showed joy, and Xinyuelan even threw him a warm look.

"Miss Liu, are you free now?" Lin Yi asked again with a smile.

"What's the matter with you?" Liu Xinyi asked suspiciously.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Miss Liu, now that we have more than a dozen poetry collections, why don't you go to the street with me and try out the sales of your father's poetry collection?" ”

Liu Xinyi pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll go with you. ”

Lin Yi picked up a dozen poetry books, winked at Xinyuelan, and made a look asking her to hurry up and print the book, seeing that she understood, he smiled and led Liu Xinyi out and walked all the way to the street.
