Emperor Jing's hands trembled uncontrollably, holding the white page, his face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Why is only half of it made into hard paper?!" ”

Liu Che muttered in a low voice: "Erchen saw that the use of silk silk in the toilet was too luxurious, so he made half of the soft paper......"

"Insulting Sven! Insulting Sven! ”

Emperor Jing carefully put down the page in his hand and scolded angrily.

Liu Che sighed in his heart: Bang! Did our ancestors of the Liu family do less degrading things? Not to mention the fact that Gaozu took the Confucian crown as a night pot, just say that Dad, you don't like to resign, and forced the future literary giant Sima Xiangru to resign and return to his hometown, I'm afraid that I am not qualified to say that others insult Sven, right? !

Of course, he still looked like he was being taught, and admitted his mistake: "Erchen was wrong, Erchen will definitely not make it again in the future, and the next batch of papers will be all hard paper." ”

Quack, fortunately, several batches have been made behind the scenes, enough to be used in the sky for more than half a year.

Emperor Jing calmed down his anger a little and asked, "I heard that Sun Quan said that the paper library is almost full, when does the emperor plan to start selling?" What is the right price? Don't be too low, the cost of the orphanage mentioned last time must all fall on this paper. ”

Since discussing the plan to cut meat from the powerful and powerful with Liu Che last time, Emperor Jing has become more and more eager to see the effect.

Liu Che shook his head and said, "Erchen didn't think about selling paper, Erchen wanted to sell books!" ”

Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and objected: "Although it is more profitable to sell books, where are so many people transcribing at a time?" To transcribe "Lao Tzu", at least you have to spend more than a day, and you can't make much money. ”

Liu Che didn't speak, reached out and took out the seal and ink from his arms, and then pressed it on the paper, leaving a bright red mark.

Emperor Jing's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The emperor wants to ......"

"Exactly, this is the art of printing. Half a month ago, the emperor had taken the Taifu to transcribe "Lao Tzu" and "Zhuangzi" and other eight scriptures, so that the craftsman carved on the wooden paper, and now it is said that the book "Lao Tzu" has just been carved, and it has now been printed and bound, and the son has brought a copy to the emperor. ”

Liu Che took out a thread-bound book from his arms and handed it to the excited Emperor Jing.

In fact, the first line-bound book in the land of China had been secretly intercepted by Liu Che a few days earlier. In the future, this is the important treasure of the country, I should leave a name in history, Liu Cheyin / swaying smiled, and wrote on the title page "The first book of today's China, Liu Che" A few big words.

It can be said that the first line-bound book in Huaxia is not perfect in Liu Che's eyes.

First of all, the quality of the paper is not very good, because of the unbleached Dongdong, the paper is white at first glance, and it is faintly blue and yellowish when you look closely.

Secondly, due to the problem of production process, it is still the use of engraving printing. Although Liu Che has the process of movable type printing in the library in his mind, he still encounters a lot of trouble in the actual production. For example, the smoothness of the layout, the recipe and baking process of the clay, the choice of ink, and all kinds of problems made Liu Che deeply understand the gap between theory and practice. Movable type printing is a complete system project, and it is no wonder that it took hundreds of years for engraving printing to develop into movable type printing in Chinese history.

The ancients were not stupid, and before inventing movable type printing in their lifetimes, there must have been many people who tried this method, but due to the lack of technical reserves in other aspects, it could not be realized. Liu Che has to admire the other male protagonists in YY's novels, it took half a day to get the movable type printing technique, and he is really a genius. It should be known that countless scientists in New China have disassembled Russian aircraft engines countless times, but they still can't get them done, and they need to continue to import them from Russia.

Emperor Jing excitedly flipped through the thread-bound version of "Lao Tzu", couldn't stop admiring it, put Liu Che aside, and didn't pay attention to it anymore. Liu Che blinked knowingly and quietly retreated.

Wang Laoshi has been very tired recently, and after eating on the construction site at noon, the owner gave him half a day's leave. When he returned home, he handed the sackcloth package in his arms to the mother-in-law who was sewing clothes, and the king fell asleep.

The mother-in-law put the package on the table in the distance, and her movements were very light, not because she was afraid of waking Wang Laoshi, nor was she afraid of damaging the contents of the package, but because she was afraid of rubbing off the paint on the table.

This table was bought by Wang Laoshi from the building materials market a few days ago. It is said that the nobles of the Northern Que Jiadi all use this kind of thing, but the materials are more particular. The manager of the building materials market is the steward of the Tian in the uncle's mansion, and he is very familiar with Wang Laoshi, so he sold the table that knocked off the paint during the transportation to Wang Laoshi at a low price of 100 yuan. Four good chairs were also put up.

Wang's mother-in-law secretly went to the building materials market the next day to take a look, and just like that, a table and four chairs, together for a thousand yuan, could not be bought. After returning home, I was even more distressed, and I was stunned not to let the hairy dogs touch it. But when he has nothing to do, he often invites the women around him to come to the house to sit and show off, which is something for nobles, even in the house of Granny Wang's nephew, who is a big official in Chang'an County. Every time I hear the women praise themselves for their good fortune and find a capable man, Aunt Wang's heart blooms.

Sitting on the chair and opening the package on the table, Aunt Wang felt that something was wrong, as if the old man had a little more monthly this month. She didn't know how to count, so she hurriedly put the empty urn that she had prepared for money on the ground, and took a bunch of counting chips (that is, small bamboo sticks). Every time he counts a hundred dollars, he puts it in an urn, and then draws out a count chip and puts it on the table.

It took more than half an hour for all the copper coins on the table to be put in the urn. Rao is in winter, or she is tired and sweaty. Wiping the sweat on her head with her sleeve, Aunt Wang hurriedly went to count the chips on the table.

Twenty! Twenty of them!

Aunt Wang's face was distorted, and she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or surprised. She counted it several times before she made sure she was right. Covering the heavy urn full of copper coins, Aunt Wang laboriously picked it up, put it in the deep pit that had been dug long ago next to the corner of the house, and put the money urn in. took the wooden shovel next to him, filled the soil on the side into the pit, stood up and stepped on it vigorously for a long time, and then cleaned it up a little with a broom, until there was no trace of it, Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and was so tired that she almost collapsed.

Frowning, looking at the mud-covered clothes, and then at the polished chair, Aunt Wang simply sat on the threshold and rested against the door frame.

Wang Laoshi slept until the moon branch, and then woke up leisurely. Seeing that the dog was waiting for dinner, Wang honestly touched his little head and smiled, took the wet linen towel handed by his mother-in-law, wiped his face casually, and sat down next to the dining table.

Looking at the table on the side and the narrow food table in front of him, Wang Laoshi's face was full of helplessness. The mother-in-law would never agree to eat at the table, and last time Wang Laoshi just mentioned it casually, and he was counted out for several days. I really don't understand this mother-in-law, isn't it just to buy tables and chairs?

When the meal was served, the dog egg chewed the sauce elbow in his mouth, and his face was full of oily flowers. In the past two months, the corn and rice have been raised every day, and occasionally a big meal of meat, the eight-year-old dog has been stunned and has become a big face.

"Old man, you seem to have taken more of your monthly bill." Aunt Wang timidly tried to say that she still had the traditional virtues of Chinese women, and although she was reluctant to return the extra money, she would be a little uneasy in her heart.

Wang Laoshi's face was full of doubts: "Too much?" When the monthly case was issued, the new housekeeper Li also asked the account room to be detailed, and I also took the scale, which was indeed as heavy as two thousand yuan. If it is a few more baht, it doesn't matter, the owner doesn't care about those few baht. ”

"Two thousand?! Didn't you pay 1,500 dollars last month? Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and asked with wide eyes.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, in order to catch up with the deadline on the construction site this month, I will finish work later every day. Steward Li said that the extra money was the overtime pay of Na Laoshizi, that is, if he worked more hours than usual, he would be paid more wages. ”

"And this good thing? The proprietor is such a nice person! Aunt Wang's eyes were full of gratitude, and then she had an idea, "Then why don't you do more in normal times?!" Every time I come back, it's not dark that day. ”

Wang Laoshi's head is full of black lines, this mother-in-law who wants money, she doesn't say that she feels sorry for her old man, and she still wants to use the old man as a livestock?

"Don't say it's useless! There are less than two months to go before the beginning of the year, can you buy all the things for our parents? Don't wait until the moon to buy it, then things will be a lot more expensive. Wang Laoshi diverted the topic and said, "Why don't I find a spare time, and then go to the building materials market to find a steward Tian to exchange a few good objects?" That's something that the countryside can't buy, and even the county officials are afraid of it. ”

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again, looking forward to her demeanor when she returned to her hometown soon.
