I worked hard to print it out, and as soon as others changed hands, they earned much more than themselves, and Sun Er's housekeeper was inevitably a little unhappy.

"No" Liu Yuan shook his hand and said: "The huge profits are only temporary, slow down, then the profits will come down, if there is no them, where can I find so many free merchants in my Moyun Study to help us sell to the north and south of the river, I am not afraid that they will make a lot of money, I am afraid that they will not be interested in our books." ”

"Young master, didn't you just say that each person is limited to two copies at a time? Those merchants just have the heart, I'm afraid they can't do it, do you want to lift the restriction? ”

Sun Er's housekeeper was a little confused, his owner wanted those shrewd businessmen to help him open the market, but he added that restriction, which seemed to be a bit contradictory, but from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that someone would buy a large number of dollars, and it was easier to collect money at one time than dozens of times, anyway, the silver was the same, buying one was sixty wen, buying one hundred copies, or sixty wen a book.

"If they just have that brain, they can't do speculative business, this restriction is to help the people of Yangzhou do a little good thing, rest assured, you just sell your books, don't care about anything else, you have worked hard today, go to the account to get the reward."

"Yes, Young Master Xie." Although the second housekeeper Sun didn't understand the benefits of the restrictions on the people of Yangzhou, he was immediately happy when he heard that there was a reward, and hurriedly thanked Liu Yuan.

It turned out that he was exiled from a second housekeeper to be a shopkeeper here, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but now he sees that the work is so easy, and there is a reward at every turn, and he was pressed by Zhao An at home, but when he arrived at the study. If the young master doesn't come, he will be the biggest, and he will be in a good mood.

In fact, soon the second housekeeper Sun understood what Liu Yuan meant, although he said that each person was limited to buying two copies at a time, but for those shrewd speculators, it was not a problem at all, and they bought it directly in the alley next to Moyun's study, selling it for sixty dollars here and sixty-five yuan for that side. Anyway, adding a few dozen yuan to sell it, so that a little profit is nothing for them, so that it will be fun for those poor scholars and those idle people. One by one, they rushed to line up, with their left hand in and right hand out. Ten pennies are in hand. A few members of the family came out together, and if they were lucky, they would have a day's ration.

This phenomenon lasted for a long time, and it was not until later that the Moyun study slowly ended after the blooming of the Tang Dynasty, and this practice once made the prosperous Yangzhou no hungry prisoners, and there were no beggars in the market, so that people were happy. What are you still hungry for, no matter how bad it is, you go to the queue to buy books, and you will get it for ten cents as soon as you change hands, and the big meat buns on the street are only two or three cents a piece.

Of course. That's all for later.

After resolving the dispute, Liu Yuan had no intention of staying here, and went straight home with the two daughters.

As soon as he went home, Liu Yuan didn't say a word, and immediately found Old Man Zheng and Old Master Gu, and asked them to add the original four printing plates to eight printing plates, so that there can be four printing plates at the same time, and the four printing plates over there typesetting, once brushed, the printing plate was replaced, and the ink was brushed, and the printing could continue immediately, and the speed was extremely fast.

Fortunately, like drying, brushing ink, and printing, these are all hand-based skills, and there is no need to learn how, that is, to teach, because of the problem of manpower, Liu Yuan specially bought a few healthy maids to come back to assist, and he did not save money at night, lit lanterns and giant candles, and printed them day and night.

It's all silver.

It was another night, the night was dark, Liu Yuan, who was sitting at the work table, stretched his waist for a long time, then reached out and rubbed his eyes, and said a little strangely: "It's strange, why have my eyelids been jumping all the time lately." ”

"Senior brother, you're too tired, come, eat a soup to make up for it first." The little lady held a plate with a steaming cup of soup in both hands.

Liu Yuan was taken aback, turned his head and saw Xiao Niang standing beside him with a tired face, and couldn't help but say distressedly: "Xiao Niang, it's late now, why don't you go to sleep yet, how many times have I told you, girls have to go to bed early to be beautiful." ”

This little girl, let her go to sleep, always disobedient, sometimes see her sleep, but after a while, I saw her take the supper to Liu Yuan's table, because the Jinyu family wants to carry out preferential activities, and the semicolon is about to open, and there are many personnel adjustments, and Mo Yun has recently opened several books at the same time, and some details have to be tracked, and Liu Yuan has to work until late at night every night.

No way, before you get on the right track, you have to pay attention to everything, worry all the time, and always be afraid that something will go wrong.

Xiao Niang shook her head and said: "I don't have anything to do, Xiao Niang doesn't have so many things to do as my senior brother, I have nothing to do all day long, I want to sleep, I can do it anytime, my senior brother doesn't sleep, I don't sleep well." ”

Liu Yuan scratched her nose and said, "Then you have to go to bed early, don't use this as an excuse." ”

"Senior brother, you drink it quickly, it's not good if it's cold for a while, I heard Lang Zhong say, this almond stewed lamb brain is very nourishing."

Supplement is supplement, but that kind of fishy smell, Liu Yuan wanted to vomit when he smelled it, but as soon as he saw Xiao Niang's expectant look, thinking that she had personally cooked it for herself, Liu Yuan turned his heart sideways, closed his eyes, took the real stew pot and drank it in a big gulp, while drinking it secretly cursed Lang Zhong who taught Xiao Niang this method, and he had to dismantle his brand to relieve his anger when he was free

"Senior brother, are you still hungry? Otherwise, I'll have someone make you something to eat. Seeing Liu Yuan finish drinking the tonic, Xiao Niang asked with a smile.

"No, I'm full."

"Senior brother, go and rest, if there is anything to sleep tomorrow, I would rather earn a little less than see you work so hard."

Liu Yuan stood in front of the window, saw the brightly lit printing workshop, shook his head and said, "You go and help me with the quilt first, I'll go to the workshop first to take a turn." ”

"Well, then that senior brother, hurry up." Hearing that Liu Yuan took the initiative to go to bed by himself, and thought that he could sleep with his senior brother again tonight, a look of joy appeared in the little lady's eyes, a trace of blush appeared on her face, and she nodded happily and turned away.

When have you been, still shy? Liu Yuan shook his head, turned his head and walked towards the back, and the old loyal slave Zhao An carried a lantern in front of him to show the way for Liu Yuan.

He was Liu Yuan's shadow, and as soon as Liu Yuan moved, he also moved.

"Smack"

"Smack"

"Ah, Foreman Zheng. I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, don't fight, the little ones don't dare to be lazy anymore. ”

Before Liu Yuan walked into the printing workshop, he heard the sound of leather whipping and people begging for mercy, listening to the sound, it seemed that the old man Zheng was teaching the slaves in the printing workshop. The leather whip marks on his body made people look a little shocking, and Old Man Zheng stared at him panting with a leather whip.

"Elder Zheng, what's going on?"

"East Owner?" Old man Zheng paused for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Yuan to come to inspect at this time, and hurriedly threw down the leather whip and walked in front of Liu Yuan to salute: "The owner." I didn't expect you to come at this time, it's nothing. It's this cheap slave who is lazy. Let him brush the ink, he actually fell asleep on the side, the little one taught him a lesson, the owner, this kind of person can't be connived, or sell him to mining. Out of sight, out of mind. ”

"The host, the host, the little one was not lazy, just a day and a night without rest. That is, I want to close my eyes and recuperate, but I didn't expect to fall asleep all of a sudden, don't, don't sell me, I don't dare to be lazy, don't dare, master, spare your life. When the slave heard that he was going to be sold for mining, he was shocked and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Although it is a little hard here, it is good to eat and live well, without wind and sun, to eat a full meal, to have meat at meals, where to find such a job and owner.

Old man Zheng sneered: "Really? How did I see that you had a lot of all day, drinking water and resting, the thatched house was on several times, a squat was half a day, and there was time to tease the newly bought maid, why didn't I see you tired at that time, I really thought I didn't see it, didn't I? ”

"This," the slave was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, the little one will not dare in the future, and he will never dare again, please scold the master casually, and don't sell me." ”

Liu Yuan listened for a while, and immediately understood what was going on, and it was obvious that this was a matter of labor enthusiasm.

Recently, the Moyun study is on fire, and the printed books are in short supply (mainly because there are too many speculators, many of them buy and sell them to other places to earn the difference), the business is good there, the supply is insufficient, and it is inevitable to work overtime here.

Selling themselves as slaves, to beat and scold, all by the joy and anger of the master, every day only for food and clothing, there is no hope for life, work is not energetic, this is also a natural thing, they are not like Zheng Foreman and the old master, with a very high salary, do well, the owner has a red envelope during the New Year's Festival, and the work is naturally full of energy, and it is reasonable to run a few more times to be lazy or something.

Looking at the other slaves in the workshop, although they are all busy, they feel like a machine, they don't have much energy to work, those movements seem to be half a beat slower, a bit like the walking dead, they look a little awkward, it seems that the stimulation given to them by these "generous treatments" has passed.

Liu Yuan didn't speak, picked up a page of paper that had been printed and looked at it, and couldn't help but light up: the words printed on this page are clear and clear, with clear paragraphs, not only the original work, but also annotations below, although Liu Yuan is not very accustomed to reading vertically, but those separated by punctuation, Liu Yuan no longer has to bother to separate the sentences, it is catchy to read, very effortless, it is the version that he strongly advocates printing, with punctuation differences, and annotations by famous teachers and celebrities.

"It turned out to be printed this, Zheng Lao, how many have you printed." Liu Yuan raised the paper in his heart and asked.

"Yes, the owner, or print a thousand copies, work hard tonight, and you can send them to the study tomorrow and put them on the shelves." Old man Zheng replied respectfully.

Tomorrow, it is estimated that tomorrow you will be able to know that all versions of the Lu Dao, a new type of book that subverts the understanding of the ancients, will be published, especially the early application of punctuation, I don't know how much turmoil the Lu Dao will cause.

Well, I'll make an appointment with those two chicks tomorrow and watch the play together.

Looking at the dejected Jian slave who begged for mercy, Liu Yuan quickly had an idea.

"Zheng Lao"

"The owner, the little old man is here."

"Untie the people, call all the slaves in the workshop, and I will give a lecture." Liu Yuan said lightly.

"Yes, host." Although Old Man Zheng didn't know what Liu Yuan was going to do, he quickly gathered all the slaves working in the workshop and listened to the owner's instructions.

Liu Yuan looked at the slaves who were cowering and standing in front of him with a panicked face, and he could decide their fate with a single word, and he had a faint feeling of standing above the clouds and looking down on all living beings. )
