Printing technology began in the Sui and Tang dynasties, first a single printing of Buddhist scriptures, almanacs, and then became more and more prosperous, to the Song and Yuan dynasties, has reached a certain peak, at this time even in the early Ming Dynasty, but due to the prosperity of wooden movable type and copper movable type, the content of printing began to be varied, and the folk printing workshop is also a lot in Nanjing.

If you want to print, you only need to find a bookstore to inquire, you can find a workshop specializing in printing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, here has gathered the world's most sophisticated group of stereotyped craftsmen, Ling Xue in half an hour, has appeared in a workshop, the owner came out to greet him, Ling Xue explained the intention, and then took out the list.

The proprietor took a look, his face became very abnormal, and he looked at Ling Xue strangely, with a bit of incredulity.

Ling Xuemei's eyes sank, and she scolded in a low voice: "What do you see, can you print it?" ”

The proprietor laughed, knowing that he had committed a taboo, and said with a smile: "This is easy to say, most of the characters here have ready-made movable type, but there is no need to be stereotyped, but the ink and typesetting are quite laborious and laborious, do you want 500 copies?" In this way, it can be printed the day after tomorrow, but I am afraid of the price......" The proprietor continued: "I'm afraid that it will be expensive." ”

Ling Xue couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, nodded, and pulled out a silver ticket: "This is a deposit." ”

When he saw that it was a silver ticket, the owner was anxious: "The silver ticket is not worth ......"

"Then the silver will be discounted at the current price."

The so-called discount of silver, in fact, is calculated according to the market rate, a hundred taels of silver tickets, roughly equivalent to the value of forty-five taels of silver, the owner was satisfied, nodded and said: "The day after tomorrow at noon." ”

Ling Xue's actions could not be concealed from many people, including Li Jinglong, as well as several idle sons and daughters of nobles in Nanjing.

New news came out again, the woman who was very likely to hook up with the thief eyebrows and rat eyes out of nowhere, some people secretly speculated that this woman may have eloped with the thief eyebrows and rat eyes to Nanjing, she used to be a young lady from a big family, and now she doesn't know what evil she has created, and she was ruined by the thief eyebrows and rat eyes, this woman took a list and handed it to Yao Ji's printing workshop, as for what was in the list, it was unknown.

It's not that these people who are ordered to keep an eye on the tip are too lazy to inquire, but everyone understands that they are not the only ones who are watching, and the number of roads is unknown, so no one has made a bird.

An hour later, Li Jinglong, who was dressed in a big red official robe and was about to enter the palace to face the saint, received a secret letter, and the grandfather, who had been a little anxious recently, frowned even deeper, and muttered to himself: "What does he want to do?" ”

"Master, I'm afraid that the palace will be in a hurry."

"Got it, got it." After receiving the secret letter, Li Jinglong showed a little impatience, and muttered: "Every day I go in, I listen to those ministers chewing the root of their tongues, they were the ones who wanted to cut the feudal domain back then, and now they are still panicking, they all say that Grandpa Ben is a fool, hum, Grandpa Ben looks at those nerds are the real fools!" Misleading the country and the remnants of the people? Grandpa Ben is just incompetent, what about them? They are foolish. ”

"That's the thief's eyebrow, I haven't been out at night for the past two days, but well, haha...... It is said that he hid in the inn every day, and did not go out. ”

"I said a long time ago that this is a liar, Cao Guogong's idiot, I want to see how long he can collapse, most likely he will be angry by then."

"Five hundred taels of silver is not much, but it is given away, and it is still played like this, hehe......"

This kind of discussion is everywhere in a certain circle, and there are too many people who want to see jokes, and Li Jinglong's popularity can be seen.

"Having said that, this thief dares to bet with Li Jinglong, maybe he really has some ability."

"There's a fart skill!" Someone shook his head: "Five hundred taels of silver earn 10,000 taels a month, do you want to be a thief?" You come to earn it, don't say that the capital is only 500 taels, even if you are given 10,000 taels, you don't have such ability. You see that this guy doesn't dare to reveal his real name, most of them are a liar who came from nowhere, anyway, the jar is broken, seeing that Li Jinglong is too stupid, he simply cheated the silver, there is wine today and he is drunk today, and after a month, the silver is spent, even if Cao Guogong breaks his leg, what can he do? ”

"That's right, I've seen a lot of people in the market."

In a corner of Nanjing City, two ragged people squatted in the corner, Zhang Fu sighed: "This pseudonym surnamed Hao has caused a lot of discussion in Nanjing City, it's over, it's completely over, the incident is only in the near future, we have to try our best to pass on the news out, and ask King Yan to prepare for the worst." ”

The servant on the side was covered in a foul smell, picking at the mud worms on his body, and then threw them into his mouth generously, under the fluffy and messy hair, the corners of his mouth were chewed, a little salty, but still a little tasty.

"Master, I'm hungry."

"Bastard, didn't you eat half a steamed bun just now?" Zhang Fu is very dissatisfied with the servant, this guy is a foodie.

The servant burst into tears: "Young master, you ate half of the steamed bun you begged." ”

Zhang Fu held his chin, the breeze came slowly, his hair was flying, if he ignored a few bedbugs in his hair, he could vaguely see the chic of his long hair, and the eyes under his thick eyebrows were deep and connotative, and he glanced at the servant: "It is difficult to succeed or fail in Jingjing, and it is a big matter, how can I put my mind on steamed buns, this Hao Fenglou is going to miss a big deal." ”

The servant nodded without a match: "Yes, young master." ”

Zhang Fu licked his lips and returned from fantasy to reality: "Wait a minute, you will go and ask for a steamed bun from the Lin family's shop, their steamed buns are strong and chewy." ”

The servant said pitifully, "I want to eat half of it." ”

"Stupid, why are you as stupid as Hao Fenglou, you can go and ask for three steamed buns, and the young master will divide half of you."

"Makes sense!" The servant's spirit was shocked, and the mud worm that had finally rubbed half a column of incense was not interested in eating, so he carefully put it into the bag, thinking about eating it as a supper, and then said, "I'll try it." ”

…………………………

Two days later, one by one, the list was posted on the streets and alleys.

These lists were posted by some servants of the Heavenly Mansion, and there were also some half-grown children who bought them out, and they were distributed on the docks and bookstores.

Ying Tianfu's servants are actually not much oil and water, here is not more than the countryside, after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles, and they dare not mess around at will, many of the servants are actually recruited, plus Emperor Taizu has just died for only a few years, and the atmosphere of the officials is not too bad, so the ordinary errand life is bitter.

At this time, someone asked them to help put up the list, and the officers naturally did not refuse.

Their reward is similar to the performance bonus of later generations, after everyone agrees on where the list is posted, the mysterious employer will first give each of them ten yuan, and then the employer promises that after three days he will also check the streets everywhere, if the list is still there, then add another ten yuan, check every three days, as long as it is confirmed that the list is not destroyed or taken away, after a month, there will be fifty yuan.

Fifty dollars is not much, but it adds up to a lot, and it is also a gesture, which corresponds to many of the servants of Tianfu are attractive, so these errand officers shuttle through the streets, and post the list one by one according to the requirements of the mysterious employer.

For the follow-up reward, the officers were very dedicated, and when they walked on the street, they had to go to the place where the list was posted every three or five times to prevent anyone from destroying it, and if anyone dared to destroy it, they had to come out and reprimand it.

As a result, this 'psoriasis' immediately appeared in the densely populated areas of Nanjing.

There is never a shortage of good deeds in this world, so many people came up to see it, and everyone looked at it, dumbfounded, and then turned strange one by one.

The list is very innovative, it lists many things, and it is categorized so that people can see it at a glance.

For example, the Yihong Courtyard in the book above, behind the Yihong Courtyard, it is marked with four stars, first from the environment of the Yihong Courtyard, saying that it is located in a certain street, located in a prosperous area, and said that the door face is acceptable, the lights are on the top, in addition to the wine and food of the Yihong Courtyard, each green building, since it is to find flowers and have fun, there must be wine and food, although this is only a subordinate service, but the relationship is not small, the list lists some special dishes of the Yihong Courtyard, such as stewed mutton, after the special evaluation, the taste is acceptable and so on.

Of course, the highlight is to evaluate the top brand of Yihong Courtyard and the ordinary fireworks women, almost every woman has a list, what are Dongmei's specialties, what are the shortcomings, what are the shortcomings of Chun'er, what are the shortcomings, there are all kinds of things, very picturesque, and even every woman has a special equalization, such as how much appearance, how much personality, what is the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In addition, there are prices, from high to low, are also very detailed, such as the price of the first card, the price of the wine and food, the ordinary reward of silver, and the difference in the price of what kind of wine.

In addition to Yihong Courtyard, there are several painting boats and green buildings are also among them, and the zuihou of the list also has a special big letter: "Thief eyebrows and rat eyes certification, false one penalty ten." ”

This kind of list is absolutely unprecedented, and it has attracted heated discussions all of a sudden, there is no entertainment in this era, and any trivial thing can be cited as a talking point, and now there is such a novelty, which inevitably causes heated discussions among many people.

Many people have a question: "Who is this thief?" Where did he come from? And this list, is it true or false? ”

People have curiosity, one to ten, ten to hundred, plus this kind of list is posted everywhere, since Hongwu, the atmosphere has been opened, and many taboo things can also be discussed openly, so many people are not afraid to dispute.

"The thief's eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, I seem to have heard of it, and I heard that many sons of the family admire him, saying that he reads women like gods, but all the women he has seen are not unexpected."

"Could it be that this person is a fortune teller?"

"Fortune telling? It's not, I can't tell, I only know a little bit of the skin, but there are some rich sons who admire him. ”

"Hmph, it's just grandstanding."
