Xuanji looked at the man in front of him, and was a little confused for a while, could it be that he was going to spend it with himself today?

On this day, Zhao Jianshen's carriage walked around the capital a few times, and the places he went to were strange, Zhao Jianshen and the people of the palace were certainly very surprised by Xuanji's special shopping hobby, and Xuanji was also secretly frightened by the power tentacles of Zhao Wangfu - went to six or seven stores and turned out to be more or less related to Zhao Wangfu.

During the lunch meal, Xuanji couldn't help but say: "I don't usually look at the accounts, but after looking at it today, I found that the business of the palace is really doing a lot!" ”

Zhao Jianshen smiled and said: "The Shen family's business is several times larger than the Zhiwang Mansion, and you will know after a while when I take you to various places to inspect it." ”

Xuanji said: "You are obviously surnamed Zhao, how can you have anything to do with the Shen family?" ”

"Shen Haoyun, the founder of the Shen family, is my master, he never married, when I was very young, he decided to hand over the Shen family to me, for convenience, when I was in the Shen family, I followed the master's surname Shen." Zhao Jianshen replied.

"What a coincidence, your name is Shen Jian upside down." Xuanji snickered, when making a bet with someone, you can casually say that you lost and read the name upside down, anyway, you don't suffer a loss.

The two were eating and chatting with each other, and suddenly Zhao Zheng came to report that someone asked to see him.

It was the shopkeeper Huang from Mingxin's study on the street next to him, who said that there were several sets of new books in the bookstore that had just completed plate making, and he wanted to invite the prince to take a look.

Mingxin study is also the property of the palace, is the largest bookstore in the capital, although the shopkeeper Huang is a bookstore, but is a typical businessman, at noon out of the distance to see the prince's carriage parked in front of the restaurant, heard that the prince is eating in the restaurant, immediately look for a head to the end of the toss.

In the past, Zhao Jianshen was too lazy to take care of the lukewarm business of the bookstore, but today, when he saw Xuanji and heard the bookstore, his eyes lit up, so he casually agreed.

The reason why Mingxin study is called the first bookstore in Beijing, in addition to the largest collection of books, occupies the largest area, occupies a small half of the street, enters from the gate into three entrances, first is the store hall that displays books, and then is a small garden, the rockery in the garden is beautiful and exquisite, many literati and ink writers who come to buy books gather here to talk about manuscripts, and finally the workshop of the bookstore, usually prohibit idle people and other people to enter and exit, a large number of workers make book editions at this moment, and the place where the book plates are stored is in a large farm outside the city.

The reason why Xuanji wanted to read the book was that she suddenly thought of this era, and I don't know what stage the printing technology has reached? I just heard that the shopkeeper Huang said that the new book has completed the plate making, isn't it still used for engraving printing?

When I arrived at the workshop of Mingxin Study, I saw that it was really engraving and printing, and the workers were concentrating on carving on the wooden board according to the manuscript, and the corner of the workshop was piled up with carved boards.

Xuanji only glanced at the door twice before being politely asked to leave by the shopkeeper Huang, so as not to affect the workers.

If you make a mistake, this version will be scrapped! Shopkeeper Huang muttered in his heart, the prince also spoils this woman too much, is the stereotypical thing just talking about fun? The woman said that she wanted to read it, so let her see it, tsk, if the engraving is broken, the workers have no time to hand over the edition, what should I do if I miss the book date, there are a few books designated by the emperor.

Of course, the shopkeeper Huang was dissatisfied, but the flattery on his face was not diminished, not to mention what does this woman have to do with the prince, the chief steward of the palace is several levels higher than himself, and he can't do it if he doesn't stammer.

"Are all the books printed page by page?" Xuanji felt that she still had to make sure.

The shopkeeper Huang nodded his head inexplicably, thinking that if he didn't engrave it like this, how would he print it? This woman's question is strange.

Xuanji got a positive answer and was excited! Hehe, as long as you show the principle of movable type printing, won't you become a great contemporary inventor? China's ancestors have invented such a good technology, and if you don't copy it here, you're really sorry for the thousands of years of civilization of the Han ancestors!

Leaving the bookstore and getting into the carriage, Xuanji couldn't wait to say to Zhao Jianshen: "Give me a thousand taels, I have a good idea to sell you a book!" ”

Zhao Jianshen glanced at Xuanji: "What do you want so much money for?" How can I be sure your good idea is worth the price? You should know very well how much the bookstore earns in a year, this is the income of the head office of Mingxin Study for half a year. ”

Two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for a month, and one thousand taels is definitely not a small amount.

Xuanji blinked her eyes and said proudly: "My idea is very cheap to sell for a thousand taels, it is definitely worth the money, besides, you are my boss, I still rely on you for food, do you dare to cheat you out of your money?" ”

Xuanji's big eyes were dazzling, and Zhao Jianshen wanted to take off her veil and take pity on her in his arms, but the time was not yet ripe...... Zhao Jianshen sighed in his heart and said, "Deal." Tell us what you think. ”

Xuanji smiled mysteriously, and said, "Let's go back to the palace, go back and show you!" ”

Back at the palace, Xuanji specially called Zhang Qiaoyu and Zhang's mother to testify, and officially opened and displayed in the study.

"The best and most labor-saving method for printing books is movable type printing, just like seals, only one word is engraved on each square column seal of the same size, and these seals are arranged in the box according to the text order of the manuscript when printing, as long as enough small seals are done in advance, the future printing will not need to be engraved every time, as long as these seals are arranged, the bookstore does not need to store so many book plates, and worry about the problem of mold and insect damage, of course, if you want to print pictures, you still have to be single-page stereotyped, but pictures are a few ...... after all"

As she spoke, Xuanji found that it was quiet in the study, and she didn't wait for the expected applause and praise, but waited for the surprised eyes of the three people in front of her.

"What's wrong? Am I not right? Xuanji wondered.

Zhang Qiaoyu slapped his thigh, jumped up from the chair, and was extremely excited, pacing back and forth while rubbing his hands, muttering in his mouth: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! I never thought of such a good way before. ”

Turning his head to look at Xuanji, he said happily: "Xuanji, Xuanji, where did you come from, hahaha, which of your methods is worth a thousand taels, even if it is worth 10,000 taels!" ”

Zhao Jianshen also showed a rare look of excitement, not to mention Zhang's mother, holding Xuanji's hand, and laughing so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

Xuanji said embarrassedly: "I want 10,000 taels, but I think the prince will definitely not agree......"

The three people in the hall looked at each other and laughed, Zhao Jianshen walked in front of Xuanji: "Today I found out why you are so good at managing accounts, it turns out that you are a money ghost...... Since you think this king will not agree, how can this king let you miscalculate? Let's go back and pay a thousand taels! ”

Xuanji flat-mouthed, but he finally has a rich income, relying on his own cottage skills, are you afraid that there will be no chance to make money in the future? Hmph, the next opening price must be in 10,000 units!

◆ A few words of gossip ◆ When will the number of my collectors also be 10,000 units, I will be completely complete, fantasy ING...... It seems that the title of the book is not good, and the clicks are relatively low...... ay
