Chapter 206: Movable Type Printing

Liu Man'er was also very anxious when she heard it, but she didn't panic, pirated copies are pirated after all, if they can really write a better story than her, although she is angry, she also admits it.

But while she had faith in her own story, she couldn't let these people pick her fruit.

found Han Shixin and handed over the first three volumes of Feng Yongkang's already spoken books, Liu Man'er said to Han Shixin: "Uncle Han, please find a reliable printing shop and print some of our books and sell them in bookstores." ”

Han Shixin took the book but hesitated a little, and said: "It takes a lot of time to print this book, not only that, but it also requires a lot of money. ”

Liu Man'er was puzzled, so she asked, "Why is this?" Is it true that the money from printing is more than the money we make from selling books? ”

Han Shixin nodded, and asked again: "How many copies are you going to print, master?" If it's more, it's okay, if it's just a few hundred or thousand, I suggest that you might as well find someone to copy a few copies by hand, it's really not cost-effective to engrave that layout, and it's too laborious, and now this printing is needed only by the government to post notices. ”

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded, only then did she understand, knowing that they should not have popularized movable type printing, she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and asked again: "Uncle Han, do you know anyone who prints this?" ”

"I don't know, but this printing is also simple, as long as the craftsman engraves the words on the reverse side, it is not troublesome, if the owner needs, I will find two people for you, but I still have to persuade you, if you want to print books, it is too time-consuming and costly."

"I have my own measure, you find two people for me first, and I'll see his kung fu." Liu Man'er saw that Han Shixin still had a worried expression on his face, and he wanted to stop talking, so she said: "You don't have to worry, in fact, I have thought of a good way now, but I have to see if these two people are reliable or not." ”

"What's your solution?" When Uncle Han heard Liu Man'er say this, he was a little curious.

"Movable type printing? I don't know if you've heard of it? Liu Man'er smiled slightly.

"Movable type?" Han Shixin has never heard of this.

"Well, they are carved into clay one by one, fired into ceramics, and when needed, just arrange them, so that you don't have to engrave different words every time you print a different book." Liu Man'er explained to Uncle Han.

"Gao, you're so smart!" When Han Shixin heard Liu Man'er's words, he suddenly realized.

Liu Man'er said: "Now that you have understood, then I will simply leave this matter to you, you must find a trustworthy person, pay attention to confidentiality, whether I can pay off the accounts in the future, whether you can develop with me, it all depends on this movable type printing." ”

"Don't worry, I naturally understand this." Uncle Han nodded, indicating that he knew how powerful it was.

"Let Ye Feng also participate." Liu Man'er said again: "Let him also participate, and when we have enough money, let him reveal this matter, which can be regarded as benefiting the people." ”

"I see." Uncle Han nodded, he admired Liu Man'er even more in his heart, the heart of the owner is really flexible, the important thing is not to be greedy, take a step, just look at the next ten steps, such a person is just a thousand taels of silver, Uncle Han even believes that she can earn ten thousand taels, but unfortunately, she is a woman after all.

When the Korean style was stunned, Liu Man'er told again: "You go and do it yourself, find a suitable place, buy it as our printing base, and when you burn porcelain, you would rather be troublesome and pay attention to secrecy." ”

"I know that when I was younger, I learned a little bit about porcelain firing, and when the time comes, I will rent a place and make it myself." Han Shixin said.

"That's good, then you can go and get busy, if you don't have money, go to the shop to withdraw it, or come to me to get it, as long as you keep the account, tell me if you have any difficulties." Liu Man'er nagged a few more words, after all, this matter is very important.

"Okay, I see." Han Shixin bowed down and said a word, and when he saw that Liu Man'er was a little tired, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, Liu Man'er lay on the table for a while, and continued to write her notebook.

She is now physically inconvenient, and she can't do anything else, so she can only write a notebook, which is not a waste of time.

After writing once, Liu Man'er stood up, walked around the yard twice, moved around, and finally stopped under the pear blossom tree.

At this time, it is a February day, the pear blossoms are blooming gorgeously, the white pear blossoms are like snow, the wind blows, and they fall like snowflakes in the sky.

Liu Man'er looked at the pear tree, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, the pear is separated, and she just wants to never be separated.

Speaking of which, I bought this yard last year, and the person gave it to Liu Man'er's family along with the pear tree, but due to Fang's serious illness and what happened later, she didn't eat this pear much.

This year, I must taste it, I don't know if this pear is sweet or sour?

"Man'er, why are you standing outside blowing the wind again? Fast into the house. Fang saw Liu Man'er standing outside again, and hurriedly walked over and said, "You are a person with a double body now, just lie down if you have nothing to do." ”

Liu Man'er shook her head and smiled, and said, "Well, I asked the doctor, and he said that pregnant women need to move around more in order to give birth." ”

"Really?" Fang was a little puzzled and said, "What we passed down from the older generation is to rest more, but we had no way to rest at that time. But since the doctor said it, let's do what the doctor said, I'll get you a cloak and help you walk. ”

"I'm not so delicate, where do I need to trouble my mother to help me." Liu Man'er said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, the doctor said that I would also go for more, so you can walk with me at that time." Fang turned around and went back to the house.

After a while, she brought a cloak and accompanied Liu Man'er around the yard.

This is the courtyard of Sanjin, although it is not big, but it is not small, in addition to the pear tree planted in the front yard, there was originally a small garden in the middle yard and the backyard, but after Liu Man'er's family moved in, the small garden in the backyard was changed into a small vegetable garden.

Yun Niang raised chickens in this backyard before, and after Liu Man'er came, she bought a few more, but turned a good house into a farm compound.

But it's okay, so that in the summer, the family doesn't have to worry about the vegetables they eat.

If you can save it, you can save it, this is Fang's mantra, now Ye Tianchen is also older, he learns and reads by himself every day, and he only needs her to take care of it occasionally, so Fang's has nothing to do and is idle for a day, taking care of the vegetable field is not tired, it can be regarded as having more work to do, killing time.

As for Liu Man'er and the others, they were very busy all day, Liu Man'er was busy writing books, Ye Feng wrote books during the day, and at night he helped Liu Man'er sort out the manuscript and re-transcribe it, his job was what Ye He envied the most, because he could see Liu Man'er's script first.

And Ye He and Cao'er have been busy embroidering handkerchiefs, and the business of embroidering handkerchiefs seems to be much better when they come to the county, not to mention, most of the patterns they embroider are some fashionable patterns designed by Liu Man'er, and the business is even better.

The two little girls are also familiar with each other in this county, and from time to time they go out to sell embroidered handkerchiefs with baskets, or cut a few bright flowers from the yard to sell together.

Liu Man'er and Fang'er were walking in the courtyard, thinking about Ye He and Cao'er, and the two of them came back, but they didn't see Fang and Liu Man'er, Ye He shouted, "Sister-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm back." ”

"Come back, come back, so what are you doing?" Fang Shi heard the voices of the two and replied, only then did he help Liu Man'er, and the two walked out of the middle door slowly.

"Aren't I happy?" Ye He stuck out his tongue and said, "I met a good thing today. ”

"What's good?" Liu Man'er bent her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you draw some embroidery samples for us, when we were selling handkerchiefs today, we happened to meet the shopkeeper of an embroidery shop, and I sold them to the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop, but it was enough to exchange for ten taels of silver."

Ye He said, handing the silver to Liu Man'er like offering a treasure.

Liu Man'er looked at the silver in Ye He's hand, and didn't reach out to take it, but just asked, "How many embroidery samples did you give her?" ”

"Ten copies." Ye He said: "One tael of silver, ten taels of silver, so that as long as there are two thousand shares, the money that our family owes will not have to worry at all." ”

"Well, that's true, but it's a pity that I paint at most one of this embroidery in a day." Liu Man'er felt that the price was a little low, but it gave her another idea, so she praised: "You guys did a good job, so we also got a good livelihood." ”

"yes." Ye He said with a smile: "Cao'er is still worried that you will talk about us, I said this money-making thing, my sister-in-law will not refuse, right?" ”

"yes, yes." Liu Man'er followed her words, but said again: "But sister-in-law, my embroidery is so beautiful, do you think it's only worth one or two silver?" ”

"More than that." When Ye He heard Liu Man'er say this, he also felt that he might have sold it at a low price, so he lowered his head: "I saw that this embroidery was bought before, and I was so happy, so I didn't think about anything else." ”

"Actually, it's not easy for my sister-in-law to draw these embroidery patterns." Liu Man'er smiled and said, "But it's your ability to sell it, and I'm very happy to see that the things I draw can be liked by others." ”

"Uh-huh." Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Ye He became happy and said, "Actually, I still have some here, but that person won't buy it." ”

"yes, of course she'll only buy what she likes." Liu Man'er said: "Okay, don't be depressed, make money, this is a good thing." In addition, you can keep this money, in case the poor people in the family can't open the pot, your private money can still come in handy. ”
