"Senior brother, you are so powerful, I didn't expect that you know so much about the Dao, it's strange, you and I both learned here, how come you know the Dao, I don't know the Dao at all?"

As soon as she got out of the studio, Xiao Niang said to Liu Yuan with admiration, to be honest, although she could tell the truth of the gold, but let her tell the ins and outs of the gold, she really couldn't tell it, or it was not as detailed as Liu Yuan's.

"This is very simple, just pay more attention to it, that is, understand yourself, it's nothing."

Liu Yuan turned his head to see the three little guys who were discussing in a whisper, turned his head and said to Xiao Niang: "Little Niang, you look at the three of them, I'll go to Chenjiayao for a walk." ”

"Well, Zhilu said, senior brother, you go early and come back early." Xiao Niang said with concern.

"I know it."

When Zhao Anzhi said that Liu Yuan was going to Chenjiayao, he asked carefully: "Young master, why don't you ask the old slave to accompany you?" ”

"No need, now the three of them are studying, the manpower is not very enough, and there must be someone watching the store, anyway, it is just a casual walk, you stay here to watch the store, I can go alone."

"Yes, young master."

Zhao An responded, and hurriedly sent the black bus standing at the door to the street to hire a carriage for Liu Yuan to travel.

Liu Yuan nodded secretly, having a good housekeeper is worry-free, there are many things that he doesn't have to tell himself, and he doesn't even have to look at him, he knows what to do.

Originally, Zhao An also wanted Heiba to follow and protect, but Liu Yuan refused, there are a lot of valuable things in the store now, and the two dart masters will leave after the expiration of the three-month contract, Heiba can be said to be the most powerful defender of the Jinyu family, now the country is safe and secure, social stability, and there is no need to be afraid of big robberies, just afraid that some people will steal or pick up and run, there is a Heilun slave who is more than six feet tall and guards here, and it is eye-catching and can make which Xiaoxiao dare not act rashly.

When Liu Yuan came to Chenjiayao, it was in full swing here, transporting soil, building walls, drying porcelain, burning firewood, pulling goods, everything, all of them seemed to be very busy, especially those slaves, who were very energetic.

"Boss, why are you here?" Someone reported the news of Liu Yuanlai to Old Man Zheng, and when he heard it, he quickly ran out to greet him.

"No, I haven't been here for some days, so let's see how you guys are doing."

Old man Zheng said with a smile: "If you go back to the owner, it's all very good, the little one will take you to see, I don't know if the owner wants to see the kiln or the little thing we messed with." ”

The kiln that can be snickered at by self-sufficiency is not good-looking, whether it is a profit or a loss, Liu Yuan does not care, now the main thing is to implement the printing side and develop the huge market in advance.

"Go, see what you're doing?" Liu Yuan said without hesitation.

"Yes, owner, please come here."

Liu Yuan and Old Man Zheng passed through the double door, and then came to a secret room, and when they entered the secret room, they saw that the old master was arranging the clay pillars with the thickness of his little finger and square one by one in a wooden frame, which seemed to be typesetting, and the board was not big, and it was estimated that there were thirty-five clay pillars with words.

When he started to work, he worked very seriously, even when Liu Yuan came, he still didn't know anything, seeing that Old Man Zheng wanted to remind him, Liu Yuan gently grabbed him, shook his head, and signaled to watch from the side.

After the old master arranged the words, he knocked the wooden frame hard, and then took out a brush, dipped in ink sweat and carefully brushed the words, and then took out a piece of paper to cover it, and used a small wooden block, like a rubbing, gently pressed, and there were two or three breaths of effort, and gently lifted the paper, and there were words on it.

"I'll take a look~~" Before the old master Gu could see it clearly, the piece of paper in his hand was snatched away, and he just wanted to make a fortune, but when he saw that the person who robbed it was Liu Yuan, he was immediately silenced.

"East~~ East, I didn't know you were here."

Liu Yuan ignored him, but looked at it very carefully, there were not many words on the paper, only more than ten words, pecked a little, and immediately recognized that this was a very famous poem, from "Guan Sui" of "The Book of Poetry, National Style, Zhou Nan":

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island.

My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Yes, it is clear and neat, and the words are both horizontal and eye-catching, and they look very neat.

"Well, yes, yes, good job." Liu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction while looking at it.

Seeing that the owner expressed satisfaction, Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were happy.

Liu Yuanyang raised the freshly printed paper in his hand, and asked the two with a smile: "Two, you have done so many times of research, what have you learned or what problems you have encountered, now say it, let's discuss it." ”

"Old Gu, you are most familiar with this aspect, you come." Old man Zheng handed over this task to the old master on the side, in terms of printing, the old master is the main force, and he is only responsible for assisting on the side, and the normal operation of Chenjiayao is also inseparable from him.

The old master did not refuse, and saluted Liu Yuan and said: "Dongjia, the method you said is too amazing, the feasibility is very high, and it is generally no problem, but the details need to be scrutinized." ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan did not speak, but encouraged him to continue to speak, the old master continued: "Engraving with clay, fast, low price, and convenient modification, it doesn't matter if you are wrong, I and Zheng Yaotou tried to test many times, and found that when brushing large characters, the mud characters were burned to six to seven hard, so it was convenient to modify, but the smaller words of printing, the most difficult is to burn to eight points hard, because we do mud, the word is small, the protruding word is too thin, and it is easy to break or deform with a little force. ”

Liu Yuan thought about it, this is right, if the word is small, the font is thin, it is indeed easy to break, and if you want to brush the print, it is not only printed once or twice, of course, it is durable.

Old man Zheng said happily on the side: "Dongjia, according to your method, our test is very successful, anyway, our material is also cement, we can accumulate experience while doing it, Dongjia, I think, we can print books to sell now." ”

"The kiln owner is right, accumulate experience while printing." The old master on the side also said excitedly.

After Liu Yuan took over Chenjiayao, he greatly improved the situation here, the food and use were very generous, he knew people and made good use of them, and most importantly, the wages of the two of them were directly doubled, these two are honest people, and they were a little reluctant to get such a high salary, and they have been thinking about how to help Liu Yuan make money.

"That's okay, then print the classic book of "The Book of Songs" first, learn experience while printing, see how many times a movable type can be printed, and how much does it cost to print one, but ~~~~" Liu Yuan took the piece of paper in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Old Master Gu asked nervously, "Boss, but what?" ”

Liu Yuan stared at the piece of paper with "Guan Sui" printed on it, and he was also puzzled: the paper was thick, the words were clearly visible, and there was nothing wrong with it at a glance, but there was always an awkward feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say anything awkward for a while.

"Dongjia, why do you ~~~ only say half a sentence when you speak, if there is anything, you can just tell me directly, and Master Gu and I will listen to you." Old man Zheng showed his loyalty again.

Only say half a sentence ~~~ That's right! Liu Yuan's mind flashed with inspiration, and he immediately thought about what the problem was: punctuation.

The paper "Guan Sui" only has four sentences and sixteen characters, but when it is printed on the paper, it is not separated, that is, sixteen words are printed together, the first line is written ten, and the second line is only six, where is the poem all, if you want to understand, you still have to figure out the meaning between the lines to distinguish between the lines of the sentence by yourself.

If it weren't for the fact that "Guan Sui" was too famous, it is estimated that Liu Yuan would have to think about it for a while before he could tell the difference.

The habit of ancient times, the word starts from the right, writes and reads, this habit has only changed in modern times, for this, Liu Yuan feels a little awkward, but this is the general trend, Liu Yuan can't change this habit, but in the paragraph sentences, Liu Yuan feels that he still has to innovate.

Those talents and writers can easily break words and sentences, but for ordinary people who can't read a basket of big characters, it is a very troublesome thing.

By the way, there are only words on the paper, which also seems relatively monotonous.

Looking at the expectant gaze of Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu, Liu Yuan smiled confidently: "The two of you have done a good job, but there are some aspects that we still need to improve." ”
