Chapter 136: Shock

"This will not arouse the vigilance of barbarians and qiangs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hou Ruifeng was a little puzzled when he heard Cao Fu's words and asked.

"It's not about the Qiang in the west, but the Hu people in the northwest. Cao Fu explained, "Their current movement is a bit strange, I want to test it." ”

"Is there any sign of unrest over there? Hou Ruifeng frowned and asked.

"To the north and west of Liangzhou, where there are Hu and Qiang, it should have been a busy time for trading recently, but the trade in some hides and cattle has decreased a lot, especially the tendons. Cao Fu said.

Liangzhou.

Hou Ruifeng thought about it for a while before he knew the location, judging from the power map of the Three Kingdoms, it was surrounded by Hu and Qiang in the north and south, and it was indeed a place to be careful.

It's just that there should be a lot of troops there, only the focus of defense, the city walls and fortresses are very strong, if there is no internal rebellion, it is not a good place to attack, but to bypass Liangzhou to attack the periphery, and then looting is their previous means.

After all, they don't need to attack the city, they just need to rob the small gathering place and the small city, and the cost of attacking the city will be too great, and I don't know if they can succeed, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"It doesn't matter if you leak your intentions?" asked Hou Ruifeng.

"It doesn't matter, Lone still hopes that they will be happy, so that Lone can find it slowly. Cao Fu smiled slightly.

"Well, that's fine, how to report that you let people get an article, just follow the normal words, no additional annotations are needed. ”

Official news still needs to be distinguished from entertainment and the like, and there is no need to accommodate the public, as long as they understand the consciousness a little, how to interpret it will naturally be explained in detail according to the progress of the matter.

"Okay, Lone understands. ”

Hou Ruifeng and the prince rushed to the craftsman's house outside the imperial city.

Xiahou Bo had already taken the first step to gather the craftsmen to handle the matter.

And the rest of the typography problem is easy to solve, in addition to the persuasion and changes in the war, it will give the corn news a prominent position, of course, it will not be said that Hou Ruifeng brought it from modern times, just explain that Cao Fu found a new species, the yield is very high, and it is relatively easy to take care of, that is, there are certain requirements for the field, and it cannot be cultivated in some areas, but it is very suitable for Cao Wei's territory.

In this way, make an expectation first, and then promote it slowly.

The first edition ends with a passing explanation that the prince is making a new type of paper, which will soon be available for a meeting—this is what Cao Fu requested.

The back is ordinary news, there are some hot topics sorted out by Xiahoubo, which are all concerned by ordinary people and scholars, filter the news and release it a little, add a few jokes and entertainment topics, and finally a little trick of popular science will be successful.

Of course, because the current people basically have no money to buy newspapers, and even if they do, they will not buy newspapers, so Hou Ruifeng learned the development route of modern newspapers, first let the government buy them, and then spread the remaining ones to the merchants in the capital, and finally distributed them to the people and scholars for free.

Then there will be funds.

In fact, according to Cao Fu's meaning, it is all free, anyway, he can afford it, so he just accompanies Hou Ruifeng to play.

It's just that Hou Ruifeng took into account that he would issue newspapers in two other countries in the future, and finally covered the basic plate of Huaxia, if it was free, the burden would be a bit big, and it would be enough to earn a little bit, otherwise he would have to scold his mother for taking over this kind of thing later, anyway, his pricing is not high, and the store must be able to afford it, even if it is enough for some small traders.

As for the scholars and the public that he values more, they can get free of charge from some channels, according to Xiahoubo, the people are easy to handle, just find someone to distribute or post it in some major places, and the scholars have to go to special places to distribute, they generally exist in a heap, just go to a few special places to publicize it, and then send it over after the newspaper is printed, and there are special people to deal with it later.

This is because of the identity of the scholars, and those shops and owners who are responsible for the distribution will not and dare not deceive, so there is no need to worry.

After hearing this, Hou Ruifeng decided to do so, and then adjusted it according to the situation in the future.

......

Out of the imperial city, in a densely built place in the southeast, there are also many people who are busy at noon on a hot day.

The group used a flat pole to pick out the yellow paper and fonts, as well as some molds and utensils, which had not been completed when Hou Ruifeng and the prince came over.

"Meet His Highness the Prince. ”

From the outside to the inside of a palace-like lobby, all the worn-out craftsmen of the road saluted carefully. Then when they passed, they secretly looked at Hou Ruifeng, who was wearing big pants and a vest, in the back.

"Prince, Immortal. Xiahou Bo was talking to a few elderly craftsmen, and after saluting, he said, "The personnel are ready, ready to typeset." ”

Hou Ruifeng glanced at a few old people, "The front page will decide on the layout at the end, and now deal with the back first." ”

In fact, it's not complicated, check some real-time news, such as the food in that place is growing very well, there are some diseases in that place, the scenery in that place is good, and how to distinguish some antiquities - this is a few tips that Hou Ruifeng saw in modern times, so he wrote them down, and now there are some people collecting antiquities and some bamboo slips and the like, I heard King Qi say last time that he was deceived and deceived by an old guy.

This is the second edition.

Then, some scholars were printed to discuss hot topics, first stating the views of several parties, and then criticizing the yin and yang parties, leaving a conversation to make those scholars advocate more vigorously -- just like a means of scoring on the Internet.

Let's popularize science again how to castrate domestic pigs to get rid of the smell of sassy i, and then make it delicious - this is Hou Ruifeng saw that there is very little pork, and the taste is a little weird, but the taste of the boar is good, and the special breeding of the palace has no taste, that is, it tastes when eaten outside. So just say it.

This is the third edition.

In the end, it was the paper transformation that the prince was responsible for and the king of Qi who got the grain and vegetable information - this was just a little bit of a word, without saying anything specific, so as not to be watched by others.

This is the fourth edition.

For the first time, four editions were released, because the clay-fired font was a bit large, and there were more standing positions, even if the yellow paper was large, it was not used. And the current technology will be too serious if the font is reduced, and it may also be printed blurry and scrapped too much, so it is almost the most suitable.

After Hou Ruifeng determined most of the contents, the three of them continued to walk into this building.

They're going to make ink.

In fact, the current ink is not bad, but the formula in it is not as perfect as later generations, and the quality cannot be guaranteed for large-scale production, so it is still necessary to readjust.

"Prince, everything is ready. "In front of an aisle resembling a courtyard house, a eunuch is waiting, leading the way in front after saluting.

"What is this place for? Hou Ruifeng asked curiously.

As soon as they walked out of the aisle, they were all in a separate courtyard, with neat trees planted on both sides, and some soldiers guarded it, which seemed to be a very secret place.

"It's a place to make palace supplies, such as some ink furniture, bronze and ironware, and some embroidery and so on. The prince replied.

"Well, it's no wonder they're all houses like this. Hou Ruifeng nodded, some of these things that the prince said were more valuable, some needed to be quiet, many of them were secrets, and it was normal for some soldiers to guard them.

Originally, Hou Ruifeng asked the prince to find time to handle this matter, but when they ran into each other, he came over by the way to take a look, anyway, it was not noon, not the hottest time.

Soon, in front of a willow-lined courtyard, in which there was a faint smell of rosin and musk, and the smell of medicinal herbs came out, and the waiting craftsmen had already set up shelves and chimneys, and had not yet lit a fire. They were about to start moving, but suddenly the eunuch came and said that the prince was about to arrive, so they waited for a while.

"Let's light the fire, it's nothing to look at, let's make a little bit of charcoal powder from the old one and see. Hou Ruifeng walked to the wooden frame and looked at it, and then ordered.

Then a few people sat on a wooden plank and waited, and the craftsmen mixed the ink according to the new secret recipe.

Charcoal, animal glue, water, some spices.

Gradually pour them together, then shake vigorously in a wooden bottle to neutralize them.

"In the future, the ink will be supplied directly to the newspaper, so there is no need to make ink ingots and melt them. Hou Ruifeng looked at it for a while and was a little disappointed, this is similar to the method of making drinks, there is nothing to look at.

I just don't know if those guys are brainless or what, and the ink used for newspaper printing is also an ingot, and it needs to be melted before it can be used.

And those who don't know if the ink ingot melts because there is too much water or because the grinding people are not good, and the slag yellow paper used for printing is soaked, and it needs to be dried before it can be folded.

This should be much better, at least it won't change according to the craftsmanship of the people who polish the ink ingots, and they are all made in the same proportion.

"Good. Xiahou Bo nodded, now he has been appointed by the prince as a temporary supervisor, responsible for some newspaper-related matters,

After waiting for a while, I experimented with the ink concocted by the sweaty craftsmen, which was much denser than that used in newspapers, and would not get wet when printed on yellow paper, so I let them produce it in large quantities, and as for the materials, it was casual, and the previous ones could also be used first.

Later, when the three of them were about to return to the palace, a carriage came quickly from the other side, and it was King Qi who arrived.

"Hey, you're not hot. The prince was surprised to see that King Qi's face was normal after he came down, and he didn't look like he was about to be steamed.

"Hehe, the car is full of ice. King Qi proudly showed off.

"That's fine...... How did I not think of it. The prince was a little annoyed.

Hou Ruifeng was speechless, these guys are playing more and more, and they won't directly get the ice sculpture out, but this can't be said for sure, after all, both of them have a heartless look, if they have a novel idea and can implement it, they will definitely not be able to help it.

"I'm done here, let's go fishing in the afternoon, I'll ......" Hou Ruifeng didn't finish speaking, his face changed suddenly, because the big monkey shook.
