Today, I would like to thank the friends who rewarded me, I have written for so long, and I have not specifically thanked everyone, it is rude.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Can't be comforted! So, I had to harden my heart. This is the first time Li Yuanxing has hardened his heart in front of girls. In order not to show his cover-up, Li Yuanxing immediately changed the topic.

"For a book, this king wants you to lower the price of the book to thirty wen. Yes or not! ”

The third girl was dumbfounded, thirty wen, this price is too low.

All three women sought advice from the man behind them, and this was the treasurer they had brought with them, the steward. Now it's time for these people to come up with ideas.

Wang Yuyan's side was the first to react, and a shopkeeper stood up: "Your Highness, forty wen, only enough for the price of a printing plate." Such a book needs 40 pages according to the number of words, not to mention the cost of paper, printing 500 copies, just the printing plate is 1,600 texts, and the distribution to each volume is more than 30 printing plates, plus labor costs, ink, and paper. The cost of a book is about forty-five dollars. ”

Li Yuanxing listened silently and nodded slightly.

The Lu family Qiuxue had already lost a game just now, and this time the shopkeeper of the family also came out and said.

"Your Highness, if you press such a piece of paper, you can't find the small one, and you can't make it. Moreover, the font size of this book is extremely small, and the whole book is about 600 words. Therefore, according to the existing process, each printing plate, that is, thirty-five characters up and down, the text of this book is twenty pages, and I dare not add a picture, and the engraving cost of the picture is too high. So the cost of this book is thirty-five wen. ”

"The cost is thirty-five yuan!" Li Yuanxing nodded and motioned to continue.

"Your Highness, the Analects are more than 11,000 words. All the costs have come down to more than 100 Wen. The fine printing is at least 150 wen, plus the cost of the store, selling 200 wen is already a very reasonable price! ”

The two shopkeepers didn't dare to sit down after speaking, and stood there with a bow. Since there are already two people who have spoken, it is impossible for the Wang family to say anything better than these two shopkeepers, too much nonsense is not a good thing in front of King Qin, so the Wang family did not stand up.

Li Yuanxing knocked on the table and calculated: "It's expensive, this is already the price of dozens of buckets of rice!" ”

The three girls looked at each other, not knowing how to take what to say.

Li Yuanxing patted the table lightly: "General Li, this king will give you a death order, and the things that this king will take out in a while." One of the Gentiles saw and killed another. Two people saw a kill. Who dares to let the heterodox see and kill his whole family. ”

"Respect the Order of King Qin!" Li Zhang stood up, and at this time he finally understood. That is a trivial matter, and he doesn't need to write it, just let King Qin say it to Emperor Bixia. Right now, no one in the entire Qin Wangzhuang is not called King Qin benevolent, and even King Qin said that he would kill the whole family, which is naturally not a trivial matter.

"Old wolf!" Li Yuanxing nodded.

The old wolf stood up, clapped his hands, and the four sergeants brought in a long table, several times larger than the tables, and placed it in the middle of the tent.

Then a couple of sergeants came in and put some wooden boxes on the ground.

The old wolf waved his hand to signal the sergeants to go out, and then placed a wooden plank on the table, and a wooden frame on it, and as he continued the shaft, the old wolf was clumsy and could not assemble it for a long time.

Li Yuanxing kicked the old wolf: "Go and call the foreman Lao Bai!" ”

The old wolf was about to respond, but he heard Wang Yuyan say: "It's better to let my subordinate shopkeeper give it a try!" ”

"Come on!" Li Yuanxing waved his hand, and when he untied his clothes and was about to throw them aside, Cui Yingying's two maid rings took the clothes. Li Yuanxing actually didn't like this set of several layers, even if it was silk, it was very hot, so he took off his coat and left only a short shirt inside.

For a prince, this is already a loss of honor.

The thing was finally loaded, and Li Yuanxing picked up a bamboo tube on the ground again, and pulled out a piece of wax paper from it. was about to tighten the wax paper on the wooden frame, but Li Yuanxing's craftsmanship was not much better than that of the old wolf, and he always felt that the wax paper was a little wrinkled.

"Your Highness, I'll come!" Wang Yuyan is skillful, and besides, this thing is much easier than embroidering the silk, and after Wang Yuyan took over, the wax paper was flattened in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuanxing took out a roller, glued ink, and then spread a piece of white paper on the wooden board, pressed the wax paper, and gently brushed the roller twice, and then picked up the wax paper. A pair of words appeared on the white paper below, a total of twenty words, written on the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops of grass into the soil, who knows that the plate of Chinese food, grains are hard.

The handwriting is not very good, and Li Yuanxing's ability to practice calligraphy is still far behind.

is that the three daughters are much smarter than Li Yuanxing.

But this poem is excellent. Twenty simple words express the suffering of agriculture. Cui Yingying had also come to the front of the case, took the paper in Li Yuanxing's hand and read it again, and said: "Your Highness, this is merciful to the peasants, and this poem should be passed down through the ages!" ”

"Another stupid girl." Li Yuanxing scolded with a smile again, and Cui Yingying's face turned red.

Wang Yuyan really thought that he had the upper hand this time, and immediately said: "Your Highness is talking about this printing technique, but it is very clever. ”

"If you don't print much, this thing will work. Print some three-character scriptures for the dolls in the village, this piece of wax paper is enough to print hundreds of copies, and three or five pieces of wax paper are enough for the dolls in the village. Li Yuanxing's first thought was the dolls in the village, not the nephews in the palace.

One of the shopkeepers also tried it, and this method is extremely clever.

But they didn't exclaim, nor did they pat Li Yuanxing's ass, after coming in for a while, from the way the old farmer spoke, they knew that King Qin paid attention to talent, ability, and a person who did practical things. King Qin, who can only pat on the back, will hate it, they are here to support their master's face, so they must be careful in everything they say and do.

Even if this new printing method makes them as excited as seeing a silver mountain. Calm is all necessary.

"Your Highness, it seems that the printed words are not easy to keep, and ink will stick to your hands!" A shopkeeper boldly put forward his opinion.

All the shopkeepers, including the three daughters, held their breaths, and they were waiting for how Li Yuanxing would react.

Li Yuanxing looked the shopkeeper up and down, which made everyone even more nervous.

The shopkeeper felt that his legs were weak, and he was looked at like this by King Qin, and it was likely that the next step would be punishment.

Li Yuanxing suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the shoulder: "Okay!" The shopkeeper felt that his soul image flew to nine days later, and was pulled back by a good word, and he was really shocked to sweat.

Li Yuanxing continued: "This thing is this little trouble, and if you come here, I will naturally ask you to contribute." Let's just say that this wax paper, can it be made better? Is it more economical? Can it be used more often? Let's talk about this ink, how can it be better, how can it not stick to your hands. You ......" Li Yuanxing picked up the one that Cui Yingying had just printed out and gestured a few times: "You go and find a way, this king only needs the result." ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanxing has already put forward a plan, and what they want to do is to optimize.

A person who has been a shopkeeper for decades is a joke if he doesn't know how to print. What's more, they have enough craftsmen to definitely come up with a solution.

Li Yuanxing looked back at the little eunuch: "You, you have to do a good job of contacting and communicating with the study in the future!" ”

The little eunuch fell to his knees, unable to say a word, just kowtowed.

Li Yuanxing ignored the little eunuch, he was already a little accustomed to what it was like for these people to go crazy with excitement. Turned to Li Chang and said, "General Li, is this worth killing?" ”

"It's worth it!" Li Chang understood that Li Yuanxing didn't like foreigners to learn the clever things of the Tang Dynasty. Even if this thing is ordinary, he will answer that it is worth killing.

Li Yuanxing was very proud: "This is actually the simplest. Now let's show you the artifact! ”

It's not realistic to bring the printer back to Datang. However, there is no problem with a box of lead characters, 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters, plus 3,000 high-consumption frequent words, and then 2,000 spaces and punctuation, etc., a total of 8,000 words are only packed in a small box, because the font is just a modern No. 5 character.

For Datang, this is too small.

Li Yuanxing is okay to cut people in modern times, but his level of cutting people in the Tang Dynasty is not in the stream. Li Yuanxing can't do this fine typesetting work, and he can't be better than the old wolf.

zuihou, Li Yuanxing directly took out a full page and stuffed it into the impression.

"That's it anyway, it's printed." The ink used for lead printing is even more special, Li Yuanxing only brought a small bottle, and after applying it, he took a piece of modern A4 paper and tried it, and eight hundred words appeared on a full piece of paper.

Although there is no typography and no formatting, it represents a kind of innovation.

All the shopkeepers knelt down, they couldn't describe what their eyes saw in words, the three women's fingers were trembling at the template, they knew very well in their hearts that a book of thirty texts was no longer a joke that Li Yuanxing said casually, with this everything can become real.

Moreover, they will have a double profit.

How many literati and writers want to write books and speak, but they can't save enough money for engraving plates in their lifetimes.

Now with the clever method of King Qin, anyone can print their own doctrine into a book.

There will be more readers in Datang.

Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders: "This king called you over, you didn't run in vain." Now what the king wants, you know! ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, I'll understand!" The shopkeepers replied in unison.

At this time, Li Yuanxing noticed that among the eleven shopkeepers who came, nine of them were crying silently. Li Yuanxing was very concerned and pulled up the person closest to him: "What are you crying about, what difficulties are there to mention to this king." ”

"Lord Wang!" The one who cried even worse. But the one behind him said: "When I was young, my family was poor and had no books to read, and we couldn't afford to buy books, and we couldn't copy books." At this time, seeing that the students of the poor families in the world have books to read, we are grateful to His Royal Highness King Qin for his kindness and teaching this magic skill. ”

Li Yuanxing understood when he heard it, this is a big sigh!
