Chapter 70 Printing is a skill that needs to be mastered

Xia Lana also wanted to reason with these knights, but Lin Ye pulled her aside in time and took the initiative to get out of the way for these knights to pass. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The leading knight smiled contemptuously, and rode into the city with his horse's hooves rolling up puffs of smoke and dust on the ground.

"Why do you want to stop me? These people are so arrogant, what should I do if I hurt people on a rampage?"

She looked at Lin Ye angrily, if it wasn't for his stopping, she would definitely teach these people a lesson.

"They're not like the people in Banana Village, and we'd better not get into trouble with them. Lin Ye shook his head.

He clearly realized that if a conflict broke out with them, it would definitely be his own side that would suffer.

Although some of them can't live with Fante, they can walk outside, how can there be a reason not to bow their heads, but fortunately, Fante doesn't mind this.

Naturally, this matter is just a brushstroke.

"Sister Nana, I'm fine, you don't have to take it to heart. Van scratched his head and smiled.

The whip marks on his face were clearly visible.

Charana didn't speak again, and looked resentfully at the back of the knights leaving.

"Sure enough, this kind of thing is happening in any era and place. Lin Ye sighed.

They were already close to the gates of the city.

The fallen Duke looked up at the tall city wall and the majestic soldiers.

The scale of Undercurrent City is by no means comparable to that of Blackfire Keep.

Even if it's just a city built on an island.

All kinds of fresh goods are delivered into the city, and the overall style of the city has some hints of Western medieval architecture.

However, due to its independence from the mainland, it is also seriously influenced by the style of overseas free trade.

Pedestrians on the streets are not only dressed in different costumes, but also of all races.

Fant introduced to Lin Ye in a low voice, these are people from the Fire Devouring Country, and those are from the Snake Tuo Country.

And introduce the characteristics of each of these people.

Of course, there are many races that have never even seen Fante, and pedestrians shuttle back and forth.

Together, they build a picture with a strong sense of exotic customs.

Lin Ye suddenly remembered "Qingming Riverside Picture", the scene in front of him should be the Western version.

"I'll go to this bookstore and ask for nautical charts, and you can take a look around the neighborhood." Lin Ye stopped in front of a bookstore.

Although the abundance of goods on the street is also attractive to him.

But he didn't have the heart to wander around until he solved the problem of nautical charts.

On the other hand, Charana and Fant were very interested, and neither of them came to Undercurrent City very often.

Charana is interested in delicate gadgets, while Fante is inclined to handicrafts.

The haze of encountering that team of knights just now was swept away.

He smiled and pointed to the bookstore, which, judging by the two of them's reactions, showed little interest in the books.

"Okay, then I'll come to you later. Fant grinned, and he weighed the silver coins in his pocket.

It was the share that Charana had given him, and he had never held such a large sum of money.

When he passed by the side of the road just now, he already had several favorite things that he wanted to buy, but he was too embarrassed to buy them because of the presence of Link and Charana.

Now Lin Ye undoubtedly gave him this opportunity.

Charana agrees with this, they just walk around the neighborhood, a bookstore, and there must be no problem.

"Then we'll see you later. Lin Ye walked into the store.

The bookshop is very quaint in its décor, with several wooden covers and an arm-long book in the forefront.

This kind of book has a very long history, at that time there was no such thing as parchment, and the cultural carrier of mankind was mainly through engraving.

After the evolution of the times, it gradually evolved from stone carving to wood carving.

And the clever people found that a special kind of whispering wood was made of thin and tough wood chips.

Very good for engraving.

This is the most primitive form of writing and has been handed down for hundreds of years.

Until the advent of parchment replaced this large and bloated way of writing.

The yellowed texture of parchment is the leitmotif of this bookstore, which mainly sells travelogues and the like.

Lin Ye walked to the bookshelf and flipped through it, and the words written were the common words of the Miracle Continent, and it seemed that it was also quite popular overseas.

It's just that the text is rough and stiff, and there is a black mass in many places, and there is a phenomenon of overflowing ink, which greatly affects reading.

It is obvious that it is a manifestation of the immaturity of printing.

There are about 2,000 people in the entire Undercurrent City, and there is only one bookstore.

"It is no wonder that printing is regarded as one of the four great inventions, and without an effective means of cultural dissemination, the thinking of the whole society will be very rigid, which will limit the discovery of talents. ”

"No matter how powerful a person is, he can't promote the process of the entire era by himself, only when people from all walks of life show a blowout state, the whole era will progress, which is also an indispensable part of entering the industrial society. ”

Lin Ye made up his mind to develop the printing industry after returning to the territory.

Although he is not involved in this industry, he still knows Bi Sheng's movable type printing.

There are many things that he doesn't need to do himself, just a little mention, and a smart craftsman will naturally find the direction of change.

Of course, the premise is that he must return to Blackfire Castle with a large number of craftsmen.

As far as the situation of Blackfire Castle is concerned, there is a serious shortage of talents from all walks of life.

He has no skills but no talent to carry it out, and if he supervises everything himself, it will be like the beer industry.

It takes months for one industry alone, and with his energy, he can't run several industries at the same time.

"Boy, don't flip through if you don't buy them, these books of mine are very expensive. "A skinny old man is carving with a magnifying glass on a workbench.

Lin Ye stepped forward and took a look, he should be restoring an ancient book.

This kind of repair work is very complicated, and the process is unusually slow, usually it takes less than half a month to fix a page.

Very few people do this kind of laborious and unprofitable work.

"Hello old man, I want to buy a map of the Miracle Continent, is there any here?" Lin Ye put the book back on the shelf.

He asked a question with a smirk, to which he already knew the answer beforehand.

"Miracle Continent? What are you kidding? Even if that kind of thing is on the mainland, it's unlikely that there will be one, right? People are not birds, they can't overlook the whole continent, how do you know what shape the continent is? How do you draw a map, you're here to make trouble, right?"

The old man put down the magnifying glass and glared at Lin Ye angrily.

I don't even know this bit of common sense, this kid must be here to make trouble.

He didn't plan to pay attention to this kid anymore and continued to bury himself in his work.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, it's not the map of the Miracle Continent, but the nautical chart that leads to the Miracle Continent from here, is it sold here?" Lin Ye changed his question.

And that was the answer he wanted.
