149: Initial intention
"Traditional craftsmanship that is bulky, laborious and material-intensive doesn't meet my needs. I'm going to try to do it and talk to you. ”
"Hou Ye is right, use this movable type to do, it is easy to store, it is also convenient to correct mistakes, it is simple, flexible, convenient and lightweight, and you can prepare more commonly used words."
"Master Bi doesn't think that I, a layman, have stolen your results?"
"The finished product made by Xiao Lao'er is not as good as this one made by Hou Ye. Little Lao'er wants to know why Hou Ye is doing this! ”
"I just said it, because I need, I need professional people to do this. I hope that people in the world can afford to buy books, read books, and buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, I hope that everyone in the world can read and write, and I hope that one day the empire can provide people in the world with free academies for nine years of compulsory education.
So I invited everyone from the printing workshop, the pen and ink workshop, and the paper inkstone workshop to discuss and exchange my experience.
I hope that you will cooperate with the Empire, be included in the special manufacturing industry, enjoy special treatment, take a profit, and obey my arrangement. ”
It's not a discussion, it's a decision.
They are generations of workshops, the hard work of their ancestors, and today they are requisitioned by the imperial court, but they promise a profit?
"Master Hou, the Imperial Ministry of Industry has a printing manufacturing industry and a paper industry?"
"I took over the special manufacturing industry, I don't have time to accompany them to toss and persuade, what I want is to gather outstanding talents in the imperial manufacturing industry, you will obey the right ones, listen to my command, and do things according to my words."
"The student once heard Guozijian Gongsheng say that Mr. Xiao wants to spread the reading buildings all over the thirteen districts of the empire and the four major capitals in 17 cities, and make them available to the people of the world for free. The student Bi Yuan studied at Fuxue. ”
"Yes. That's why I can't wait to improve printing, and I want to hear the advice of my predecessors. ”
"Although the Bi family has lived with printing for generations, it is only a small workshop and cannot afford the weight of imperial printing. But as far as Hou Ye Chong said, let everyone in the world have books to read, and Xiao Lao'er will do his best. ”
"Thank you, sir, I have discussed with the major academies to let the children of the poor who know how to carve enthusiastically sign up to participate in the production of clay square characters, so as to completely avoid mistakes due to illiteracy, and at the same time pay the children of the poor families, and let them have the opportunity to read books for free, two shifts, four hours each.
All printing workshops in the Empire have signed cooperation agreements with the Empire, and they are all allocated and used by the Empire, so the manpower of those workshops will be at your disposal.
By the wind one assists you with all raw materials and diplomatic matters. ”
Several people held the cooperation agreement in their hands, and they were all ready to be requisitioned by the empire without compensation, but they didn't want to just cooperate for ten years, not to take it by force.
"Master Bi, I would like to discuss with you on the issue of typography, change the vertical version to the horizontal version, and I have drawn up a kind of punctuation marks to separate the text, and their usage is like this......"
I don't know when, Wang and Old Man Liu also got together, they are also literati, they also have dreams, a few heads towards the large rectangular table placed in the middle of the room Pei Qingyu is about to use the various symbols that are about to be used in the book, the meaning they represent, their use scenes, as if a new world to be opened.
"Yu'er is still busy?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Look at the main house closed day and night after day, and still hear the sound of eager discussion outside the door, what ink diluted...... What paper material...... What book illustration...... What antiseptic mildew......
