The steward took Chen Zhou back to the inn, his face a little calm.

Chen Zhou was anxious, "What did Master Chang say?" ”

The steward's face was calm, and he said, "Zhao Hanzhang wants our craftsman for engraving and printing." ”

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment and said: "How is this possible, this is the foundation of our family's foothold." ”

The steward lowered his eyes and said, "They say that there are no craftsmen, and it is okay to give two or three apprentices." ”

Chen Zhou frowned, a little reluctant.

The steward was also reluctant, but the conditions given by Master Chang were too good, and he lowered his voice and said: "Master Chang said that now Zhao Hanzhang is in need of manpower, if Lang Jun enters her eyes, then it is possible to stay by her side and do things." ”

Chen Zhou: "...... You let me be a servant? ”

His goal is to have a good banquet in the nine products next year, or in two years, as long as he can set the upper grade, even if it is the lower grade, it will be a county order, why should he stay in Xiping as a small official?

Once you become a small official, you will set the tone, and there will be no possibility of a career in the future.

The steward said: "It's not a small official, just be a staff member by your side, follow her, the people I see are all celebrities, and I inquired that Xiahouren has a good relationship with her, so next year's Dazhong is being selected, she may be able to say a few words for Lang Jun." ”

Xiahou Ren's brother Xiahou Jun is the great Zhongzheng of Yuzhou.

Chen Zhou pondered.

The steward waited for him to think.

Chen Zhou asked again and again: "Just an apprentice?" ”

"Just an apprentice." The steward lowered his voice and said: "And they don't have engravings, even if they open a bookstore, they have to re-accumulate engravings, which is far inferior to our family's inventory, what is Lang Jun worried about?" ”

In the case of mass printing, why is it said that engraving printing is much cheaper than movable type printing?

Because an engraving can be used again and again, and put away when not in use, many bookstores have several rooms of engravings, which have been accumulated over the years.

Why did the Zhao family never consider opening their own bookstore?

Could they really not have been able to find an engraving craftsman?

Of course not, but because it's not worth it.

At present, books are hand-copied one by one in addition to printing, and most of the advanced knowledge is hand-copied and circulated, and most of the textbooks that can be printed are very common.

Zhao didn't point to making money with the bookstore, so naturally he wouldn't think about spending this effort.

Because it is so laborious, each engraving plate needs to be carved out by a carpenter word by word, and the new house wants to compare the book with a foundation in the storage and storage of the book, it does not take more than ten or twenty years, that is, it needs to pay a lot of manpower and material resources, and the income does not match the payment at all.

Who is so stupid to make a bookstore regardless of the cost?

So after thinking about it, Chen Zhou finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, promise him, you can go home immediately and pick two apprentices to come over, you can know how to print books, and the craftsmanship in your hands doesn't have to be too good." ”

"Lang Jun, I think I have to choose a good one and a bad one."

"Why?"

"In this way, Zhao Hanzhang knew that we were attentive, first put the apprentice with good skills as the master, and let him bring another apprentice over."

Chen Zhou's eyes widened and he looked at the steward, "That's ...... Well, isn't that a lie? ”

Steward: "...... It's not called a lie, the apprentice has good skills, and he should have been promoted to a master. ”

Only then did Chen Zhou exhale, "What you say is reasonable. ”

The steward also exhaled, a little tired.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't know any of this, she was playing against Zhao Ju in the barracks, she would deliberately remember the fixed moves at first, and she completely forgot about it after she got high, she still remembered some of Fu Tinghan's principle requirements, and her movements became smoother and smoother.

She gradually tied with Zhao Ju.

Even though he had seen it many times, Zhao Ju still couldn't help but sigh again, "Sanniang has excellent talent." ”

Zhao Hanzhang pursed her lips and smiled, she could fight when she was blind, oh no, she practiced martial arts, and now she is naturally even better.

Zhao Hanzhang put away the gun and wiped the sweat with his sleeve, Zhao Erlang immediately ran up with a handkerchief and wiped his sister's sweat diligently.

Zhao Hanzhang simply raised his face and asked him to wipe it, and only after wiping it did he ask, "What do you ask of me, hurry up, I have to go to the city to inspect in a while." ”

Zhao Erlang immediately said, "Sister, can you give me the other gun head in the box?" ”

Zhao Jucai unscrewed the bamboo tube to drink water, coughed when he heard the words, and choked on the water.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him and said to Zhao Erlang: "Aren't you practicing knives, why do you want a gun head?" ”

Zhao Erlang's eyes lit up and said: "I think the spear is more powerful, and it is more convenient to kill people on horses, and it is the same weapon as my sister, so I want to change!" “

Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind, but: "The head of the gun belongs to Ting Han, you have to ask him." ”

She paused and said, "Forget it, I'll ask." ”

This is a special gift from Fu Tinghan, and if she wants to transfer it to someone, she has to ask him.

When Zhao Erlang heard this, he immediately followed her back to the county office.

As soon as he got off the horse, he ran in front of her, all the way to the study, and sure enough, Fu Tinghan was writing and drawing at the table.

Zhao Erlang immediately ran forward, "Brother-in-law, I will call you a hundred brothers-in-law, will you promise me one thing?" ”

Fu Tinghan raised his head, "What's the matter?" ”

"Would you like to promise my sister to give me the other gun head in the box?"

Fu Tinghan raised his eyebrows, "You can say such logical things now?" ”

He asked, "Did someone else teach you this, or did you say it yourself?" ”

Zhao Erlang looked confused, "I said it myself, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Tinghan asked: "You asked me to promise your sister, what about your sister?" ”

"Here," Zhao Hanzhang came in from outside the door and complained, "I deliberately ran in one step faster than me, and I don't know when I learned so shrewdly." ”

Zhao Erlang smiled innocently.

Fu Tinghan smiled, and nodded without waiting for Zhao Hanzhang to speak, "I agreed." ”

He flipped through the sketches on the side, and took out the second sketch for her, "This is the body of the gun I drew for you, you see if there are any modifications, if not, I will let the craftsman do it." ”

Zhao Hanzhang saw that there was still a pattern on the gun, and couldn't help but take a closer look, "What kind of pattern is this?" ”

"This is the seal of your name." After a pause, he said, "I didn't want to add anything, but Uncle Ming said that since you want to use the gun often, then this gun should still have its own logo." ”

The most important thing is that this gun is expensive and powerful at a glance, and if you don't add anything, Zhao Ming feels that it is a waste.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't have any opinion at all.

Fu Tinghan looked at Zhao Erlang at this time, "Then you will also go to practice the spear, and I will design the body of the spear for you." ”

Zhao Erlang's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to call, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law......"

Seeing that he had the intention of calling a hundred brothers-in-law right away, Fu Tinghan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, it's okay to call when you are free in the future." ”
