Hey, what's wrong with my party?

What I call the propagation of cultural knowledge is not to destroy the foundation of Dayue, but to pay attention to education.

Look at it, the talents who always come to my champion building, are they all outstanding? not only won the literary champion, but even a collection of poems was published.

Lu Zhi was intoxicated with his fantasies, and Sun Shan was already thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Fourth son, publishing a collection of poems for talented people is a great thing to help them become famous, and they are naturally willing." Sun Shan smashed his mouth, "It stands to reason that they should pay for this." ”

Lu Zhi understood, and when he said it, it was just silver.

Don't look at what Sun Shan said is weird and good, he doesn't want money, but in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still wants it.

Isn't this it, Sun Shan said that the silver for the poetry collection should be from the talents, so he didn't dare to ask for the silver on Lu Zhi's side.

"No, let's publish poetry collections for talented people for free, they are all frequent visitors, this is considered the welfare of the champion building, and it can even be published all the time in the future."

Lu Zhi thought about it in an instant, Zhuangyuan Lou allowed talented people to exchange their talents for food, which gave them benefits;

If another collection of poems is published to help them become famous, then the talents will not gain fame and fortune.

Hey, if the talents gain fame and fortune, there will be more talents to come to the champion building, so won't my business form a virtuous circle.

It's done, that's it! …… Lu Zhi slapped his thigh, why didn't he think of it a long time ago?

"If you're like that, let's publish it as a monthly magazine."

Sun Shan was puzzled, "What is a monthly magazine?" ”

Lu Zhi pulled Sun Shan and explained, "Hey, it's just a month, some of them sell well, we can publish them again......"

A mature newspaper system was taught in the past, and Sun Shan was bright-eyed, but the four sons were powerful, and they were really gods!

At the same time, Sun Shan was also secretly smacking his tongue, this is the pattern of the four sons, what is this called? Rich and capricious?

Lu Zhi smiled, what a god, he was just standing on the shoulders of giants.

…………

Soon, the silver ticket fell from the hand of the leather monkey to Sun Shan's pocket, a thin piece of paper, but there was a feeling of bulging.

I can't start work at night, and Lu Zhi doesn't want to sleep, so I have such a chat to digest and digest food.

"Shopkeeper Sun, are you interested in trying the additional test of this year's capital exam?"

"No test." Sun Shan shook his head and smiled wryly, "My own qualifications are not good, and because I ran a bookstore and abandoned my studies, I can't do it, it's really not good." ”

"Well, that's fine." Lu Zhi took a sip of tea, "In the future, you will run the bookstore well, as long as we do a good job in this monthly, your future will be fine." ”

"Yes, it's all up to the fourth son." Sun Shan was originally backed by the Lu family, and now that Lu Zhi has taken the initiative to get closer, he must hurry up to show his loyalty.

"Well, by the way, you have to hurry up with this poetry collection, tentatively a thousand copies, how long have you been reading it?" Lu Zhi had a good relationship, and this began to urge work.

Sun Shan shook his head, "It's hard to say, after all, the poems in the poetry collection have not yet been decided, but it is not a problem to work overtime and produce two or three hundred books a day." ”

"So little?" Lu Zhi couldn't understand, "Didn't you just say, your bookstore is not small." ”

"Well." Sun Shan looked embarrassed, "Fourth son, after all, this is to be copied by hand, and the manpower is sometimes exhausted." ”

"Oops, it's still hand-copied, that's too backward." Lu Zhi looked disgusted.

No wonder Dayue's books are so expensive, the feeling is that the production process is backward, how can hand-copying work? It's not efficient at all.

Lu Zhi waved his hand, "You are like this, will you rub the stone tablet?" ”

"Uh, yes." Sun Shan has never actually operated it, but it is not difficult to think about it.

"Yes, it just won't." Lu Zhi's words were a little straightforward, which made Sun Shan's heart chuckle.

After pondering for a while, Lu Zhi said, "In this way, Leather Monkey, you go and tell Chen Youqian and let him collect the poems of the regular visitors of the Zhuangyuan Building." ”

Sun Shan was stunned, "Huh? What about me? What do I do? ”

"You follow me, let's go to the Tiangong Workshop tomorrow, and then let you see what engraving printing is."

Lu Zhi himself is a master of wood carving, and movable type printing is not easy to say, but just a carving is not handy?

"Hey, good!" When he heard it, he didn't kick himself away, Sun Shanle looked like something.

…………

The next day, after breakfast, Lu Zhi took Sun Shan straight to the Tiangong Workshop, and a new invention was about to appear in the land of Dayue.

As soon as he entered the Tian Workshop, Lu Zhi beckoned Foreman Zhou, "Old Zhou, find a few trustworthy skilled people and do something with me." ”

"Hey, I'll arrange it right away." Foreman Zhou heard the subtext, and all the people he summoned were from Xuanwu City.

This point is also very particular, because of the inconvenient transportation, few people go away, and the people who leave their hometowns are cheap, so when they go out, the villagers are still very trustworthy, especially in groups.

This is not the same as the era that Lu Zhi crossed over, there was no time for any fellow villagers to see their fellow countrymen, with tears in their eyes; At that time, it was the villagers who saw the villagers and fired a shot in the back.

Soon, the manpower was ready, and Lu Zhi had already carved a few words at this time, and he had already begun experiments.

When the craftsmen saw it, this operation was familiar, and this was not a seal.

In the people, seals are not popular, but because of Lu Zhi, Tiangongfang can often receive some large families to buy and sell, so they are not blind to seals.

It's just that there is one thing that needs to be explained, Dayue's seals are basically cast, like stone carvings, wood carvings, these are basically none.

Like Lu Zhi's official seal, it is made of metal, high-ranking officials use silver, petty officials use copper, of course, there have also been gold seals, but that is not a regular official seal.

To be honest, the golden seal is too valuable, and the Dayue Imperial Court is not so rich, the key is that you are not afraid of being robbed?

Haha, this is just a joke, the golden seal is afraid that only the king of Yue is worthy of using it, who dares to rob the master of a country? Don't have a head?

…………

The results of the experiment were not ideal, and the handwriting was all reversed.

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, yes, this is like looking in a mirror, and the word "anti" has to be written on the engraving.

How can it be reversed?

Lu Zhi asked people to take a smooth wooden board, and then found a random manuscript and dipped it, the thin and almost transparent manuscript paper was attached to the front of the board, and the words became reversed, and the strokes were also clearly legible.

Subsequently, Lu Zhi used a carving knife to cut off the part of the layout without handwriting, which became the yang text with the font convex, which was completely different from the stele yin text with the font concave.

When printing, ink is applied to the raised font, and then the paper is covered on top of it, and the back of the paper is gently wiped so that the handwriting is left on the paper.

After the operation, Sun Shan breathed heavily, "This is much faster than hand-copying!" ”
