"Gao Lizheng, do you always have a seal?"

"Yes, yes, the virtuous nephew asked what this is doing?"

"It's good that Gaoli has a seal, so it's much easier to say." Li Ang sat down again and said to Gao Lizheng and Old Man Hua, "One of the main reasons why books are so expensive nowadays is that it is difficult to engrave;

Now to print a few books, it is necessary to thousands of engravings, not only the engraving is time-consuming, labor-intensive and material-intensive, but also the storage of the book plates will occupy a huge space, and there are typos that are not easy to correct, and if you make a mistake, the whole edition will be invalidated;

As for me, I'm ready to change that. The invention of a movable type printing technique, specifically, was to engrave a different character on each small seal as if it were a seal, instead of using the original carved plate;

When printing the book, select the words needed for each page of the book, arrange them in order, and embed them in rows of wooden grids to make them neat and fixed, so that you can start printing;

The advantage of this is that after one page is printed, the second page only needs to be rearranged as needed, without the need for another engraving. Theoretically, as long as all the characters are engraved one by one, no matter what book is to be printed, all we have to do is to typeset them in order;

Of course, some commonly used words often appear many times in a page of the book, and these common words, let's just engrave a few more for backup. The cost of movable type printing will undoubtedly be much lower than that of block printing.

Gao Lizheng, didn't you ask me to find a way to benefit the village? We can ask families in the village to raise funds to set up a printing workshop and print a large number of books for sale.

For the same book, our printing cost is much lower than others, and the selling price can also be much lower, which will surely make booksellers rush to it. Gao Lizheng, Hua Lao, think about it. When the books printed in Shangxi Village sell well all over the world, how much wealth does it have to bring to the village? ”

"Virtuous nephew, can you ....... talk about it again....... old man still doesn't understand." Gao Lizheng's beard trembled slightly, and vaguely, he felt that what Li Ang said was feasible, but he had never seen this thing. I don't know the bottom of my heart.

Li Ang smiled: "Gao Lizheng, you can think like this, your seal can be used repeatedly, now engrave a word on each seal, and then arrange these words according to needs, isn't it a page of a book when printed?"

It's simple, isn't it? You don't have to worry about the technical stuff, I'll do it. Tomorrow you will hire two good carpenters. Then choose some fine wood with a hard texture, and ask a seal carver to come over;

Let's carve out a thousand words according to the "Thousand Character Text", and then print it into a book for the children in our village. When the printing workshop was set up, everyone saw that there was money to be made. I am also willing to take a stake. ”

"Good! All right! Decay Tomorrow......... No, go to the craftsman now. ”

Gori was standing up excitedly. He was about to go out, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed to Li Ang: "Virtuous nephew! If you have such an idea and have abundant funds, you can make this money on your own;

Now, you take this ....... this movable type printing. Let the whole village share it for free, no matter whether it is successful or not, this affection, everyone in Shangxi Village will be grateful. As Lizheng, I would like to represent the villagers of Shangxi Village, thank you. ”

Li Ang didn't wait for him to worship him, he had already walked up quickly to support him, he was almost seventy years old, and he was still worshiped by others, isn't this a long life?

Old man Hua also came up and persuaded: "Gao Lizheng, over the years, have you done less good things for the village?" He is a junior, and he doesn't know if it can be done, and even if he can do it, he can't afford to worship you. ”

"Deserved, deserved, Brother Hua, you usually hang a pot to help the world, and do benevolence and goodness. Now I have brought back a treasure for the village, which is rare, rare! Gao Li was about to bow down, but was supported by Li Ang and Old Man Hua, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while, and Gao Li was willing to give up.

After Gao Li left, Old Man Hua dragged Li Ang into the courtyard and asked seriously: "Stinky boy, there are no outsiders here, you tell me the truth, what kind of movable type printing workshop you are talking about, can it really be done?" ”

"Hua Lao, this can definitely be done, but I can't fool you?"

Old man Hua said solemnly: "Stinky boy, if it's our own business, even if we lose it, it's nothing, and the money is just to be earned; But let everyone do it together, and the situation is different. ”

"Don't worry, Hua Lao......"

"Shut up, listen to the old man's words, our villagers in Shangxi Village treat you well, and each family is not rich, you let everyone pay money into shares, and they will have a share in the future, this heart is good;

The old man is afraid that you will do bad things with good intentions, and everyone will raise money to open a printing workshop, but in the end they will not make any money, and even lose money. Haven't you become a pit everyone?

Moreover, the snake can't be without a head, everyone raises money to build a workshop, who will take care of it? If it is a group discussion, everyone has different thoughts, it is inevitable that they will say the public, and the mother-in-law will say the mother-in-law, and in the end, it is obviously a very simple thing, but it can't be done, which is not impossible.

Don't be too long-winded, this is everything, you have to think deeper, do it properly, and ensure that everyone can make money, so that everyone will be grateful to you; It's really going to be a mess, don't say that you can't stay in Shangxi Village, even the old man, you won't have the face to stay! ”

Old man Hua, although he is a little verbose, but his heart is really good, this kind of thing that can make money, he didn't blame Li Ang for not handing it over to the Hua family to do, but repeatedly urged him to do things well and not let everyone down.

Li Ang doesn't like to listen to him on the surface, but in fact, his heart is warm, and it is his blessing to meet such an old man.

Li Ang assured him again: "Hua Lao, don't worry, how to manage this workshop, I have also thought about it, each family only needs to pay money, and if they make money, they will share dividends according to their shares; As for the day-to-day management, we will hire someone else to do it, so as not to have any selfish distractions. ”

"This ......... Leave it to outsiders to take care of, everyone is afraid that they will not do it. ”

"This is not for them, now everything is up to me, if anyone refuses, they can not participate in the shares, I don't force it, when everyone has dividends, he doesn't blush." Hua Lao, but as you said, there are many people, the workshop is messed up, and everyone blames me, so although this is for everyone's welfare, but how to do it, you can't listen to them. ”

"Okay, you just have a number in your heart, and the old man won't say much."

After dinner, Li Ang came to Huang Siniang's house again.

Huang Siniang must have expected him to come, and deliberately dressed up, becoming more and more enchanting, and on the long skirt with a corset, the chezi embroidered with daffodils revealed half of the pink snow peak.

In the quiet backyard, the courtyard is silent, and the beauty is gentle and boneless, which makes people think infinitely.
