After sending off Sa Yide, Zhu Daolin immediately went to the printing workshop in the East Courtyard after lunch, and with more than 100 craftsmen who gradually mastered the working principle and operation technology of the hand-cranked printing press, using various papers and homemade inks, according to a set of techniques formed by the craftsmen's continuous experiments, the last printing inspection was carried out.

Zhu Daolin was quite satisfied with the final result, and the dozens of prints of different specifications and contents were all qualified, and the printing effect of various font sizes was good, not only the handwriting was clear, the layout was neat and accurate, and the efficiency was also nearly 20% higher than Zhu Daolin's initial expectation.

What makes Zhu Daolin even more satisfied is that under the stimulation of high salary, high welfare policies and technological innovation incentive mechanism, the enthusiasm and potential creativity of craftsmen are unprecedentedly high, not only successfully mastering the typesetting technology and printing technology of hand-cranked printing presses, and gradually getting used to the use of metric weights and measures and new tools, but also through practice, improving the technical operation mode, and successfully preparing several inks, which greatly saves production costs.

Secondly, after nearly two months of study, more than 200 craftsmen and 500 apprentices quickly adapted to the "Workshop Technical Confidentiality Regulations", "Workshop Rules and Regulations" and "Business Management System" formulated by Zhu Daolin to be uniformly implemented in all workshops. It has formed its own technical accumulation, and has been bound into a book for inquiry.

It is precisely because of the strict system and strict management that the craftsmen of the printing workshop quickly mastered the principle and operation method of the hand-cranked printing machine, and established a new concept. Finally, five ink formulas suitable for hand-cranked printing machines were developed, satisfactory printing results were obtained, and Zhu Daolin's trust was finally completed, and the large-scale printing of various books and albums was successfully realized.

However, the experimental effect of two-color overprinting still did not meet Zhu Daolin's expectations, not to mention the three-color printing technology with higher ink quality and technical requirements, and Zhu Daolin had no way to do it. Although many of the technical materials he brought had already been handed over to the two directors, no one could go against the laws of scientific and technological development.

The two experienced managers need time to learn and digest, and the craftsmen need time to repeatedly explore and summarize slowly, which is the rigorous attitude that should be had, and it is also the only way to promote the application of advanced technology.

In view of the current situation, Zhu Daolin once again suggested to the craftsmen, encouraging them to form two or three technical research teams, not to worry about spending too much material in technological innovation and various experiments, as long as they can overcome the difficulties of two-color overprinting technology. It's worth the investment, and if you master the two-color overprinting technology, it's not difficult to go further.

Zhu Daolin waved his hand and set a heavy reward of 50 taels to 100 taels of silver, and under the gaze of a pair of excited green eyes, he immediately called the workshop manager Xie Jiushu and the technical director Cai Jinyan jointly elected by all the craftsmen and apprentices. They were instructed to organize managers at all levels and discuss a set of implementation measures. Then write it down and stick it on the wall.

On the morning of the next day, Zhu Daolin, accompanied by Zhao Xunting, the chief manager of Hushan Manor, inspected the basement secretly excavated in the backyard, discussed with Zhao Xunting and his two henchmen around the drawings for more than an hour, and finally decided to extend the completed 60-meter secret passage to 120 meters.

The exit of the passage was changed to a six-meter stone wall at the foot of Tiger Mountain, and stone steps, stone platforms, and stone pavilions were built. Then load a banyan tree to cover up.

The secret room built a few months ago under Zhu Daolin's study is very sturdy and can be put into use with confidence, but the four secret rooms and passages under the backyard still need to be reinforced, and all of them are repaired with three specifications of fine stone strips and high-quality city bricks, so the construction period is extended by about 40 days.

After lunch. Zhu Daolin and Zhang Deyi, who came to inform him, rushed to the farm in the eastern suburbs of Jinling and held a secret meeting with Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, Zhang Gongwei, the Marquis of Longping, Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Xincheng, and the old man Ying, the helmsman of the Ying family.

The reason why Zhang Deyi, who thought he was meticulous, was found out was because his father Zhang Gongwei exposed his feet under the blackmail, and finally had to confess and be lenient.

Every morning at 6 a.m., he appeared on time at the review stand of the martial arts hall in the East Courtyard to watch the different performances of the 306 children who ran ten laps around the 400-meter track in the playground.

Among these 306 children, 50 of them who were selected in advance took refuge in the Dao Sect and have become the disciples of the Daoists of the Ziyang Temple, who study in the martial arts hall during the day and have to return to their respective masters at night to continue their studies.

The other 256 were outstanding teenagers carefully selected from 4,000 children by several Taoist masters of Ziyang Temple after the merger of Ziyang Academy and Zizhuyuan Yixue, and 20 of them were disciples selected by Zhu Daolin himself from the children of the original Zizhuyuan Yixue.

These 256 children, without exception, are all orphans, and they will undergo a forty-five day basic training, and according to the opinions of several seniors of Ziyang Temple, they will be eliminated again, and only 100 people will be left in the end.

In order to allow more outstanding children to enter the martial arts hall to receive a new type of education, Zhu Daolin repeatedly stated his opinions to the masters and uncles, and argued with reason, and finally did not hesitate to reduce the number of the first batch of disciples under his disciple from twenty to two, in exchange for the master and the three uncles agreed to increase the number of the first batch of disciples, and the total number of the first batch of disciples in the Ziyang Martial Arts Hall will increase from the original plan of 70 to 150.

The 306 children who ran ten laps around the playground were very hardworking, and they were all the best among the 4,000 peers after three rounds of rigorous selection, so everyone worked very hard and cherished the hard-won opportunity.

For eight days, the children put on their shoes at half past five in the morning every day, and then under the leadership of the martial arts teacher, they ran ten laps around the 400-meter track, even if they fell, they had to struggle to get up immediately, and they staggered forward until they vomited, and none of the children gave up.

Breakfast was served at seven a.m., followed by an hour's rest, not to leave things alone, but to clean up the barracks.

Starting at eight o'clock, they will be under the personal command of Zhu Daolin, with a team of ten people for three hours of queue training, the first three days, the children who can't distinguish the left and right directions will be severely criticized by Zhu Daolin, from the fourth day onwards, as long as they make mistakes, the teacher on the side will hold a long thin bamboo whip, to the thigh that made a hot stroke.

This method is very effective, and within 10 days, all children can distinguish between left and right feet, and very few people make mistakes in the sound command.

After the queue training every morning, Zhu Daolin, who was busy with affairs, would salute the children before leaving, and after lunch, they took a short rest, and the children continued to be led by more than ten teachers such as Yulong and Yuhu to conduct a two-hour physical fitness and basic skills test.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, he began to recite the "Internal Regulations of Ziyang Martial Arts" and the "Ten Precepts of Ziyang Martial Arts" formulated by Zhu Daolin, and ended on time at half past five.

After dinner, the children are given up to four hours of free time, during which they can play with each other, wash their clothes, and ask in advance to teach themselves to read and write, but they must turn off the lights and go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening.

The eldest of these two hundred and sixty children is only fifteen years old, and the youngest is not yet ten years old, they entered the Ziyang Martial Arts Hall ten days ago, and they have enough soybean milk, steamed buns, rice, chicken, duck and fish for three meals a day, wearing a uniform style of black cotton samurai uniform, and wearing black canvas pullback sneakers specially brought back by Zhu Daolin, every day from morning to night, they have to undergo different training and tests, and the fifteen martial arts hall teachers will take out a piece of white paper with many grids and write down the name of each of them. Make a note of each of their test scores.

Although each child worked hard, after a month, most of them would have to return to the Ziyang Academy to the east of Ziyang Temple, and the last 100 people left behind would have the honor of becoming Ziyang Martial Arts disciples, following their god-like heroes and father-like master Zhu Daolin to learn the skills, and the two disciples who had not yet been identified by the master would probably be selected from the 100 people left behind.
