At this time, after Xie Fugui left, a bookseller heard that Lu Ning was going to print Luo Guanzhong's Three Kingdoms, so he took the initiative to come to the door and place an order for 50,000 copies.

However, the other party looked at Lu Ning with some urgency and said.

"I'm very anxious about this matter, if you want to take my order, there is another condition, that is, it must be delivered within a month, otherwise you will compensate me for the loss of 500,000 silver."

At this time, Lu Ning understood in his heart that this guy was not here to ask for an order at all, but actually a person who came to find faults, he said.

"Okay, I also promised you an additional condition, if I can't do it within the specified time, not only will I pay you 500,000 taels of silver, but even the original manuscript of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be given to you, what do you think?"

The other party looked at Lu Ning like a fool, and said directly.

"You said it yourself, I didn't force you, you won't admit it when the time comes, right?"

Lu Ning shook his head and told him speechlessly.

"Ordinary people may be able to disagree with you, but don't forget who I am, I am the nephew of His Majesty today, the rich prince of the court, will I cheat with others? It's just a joke! ”

When the other party heard Lu Ning say this, he no longer bothered about signing the contract and left.

Lu Ning rented a piece of land in Zhujiazhuang, on the outskirts of Beijing, and built a printing factory, hoping to recruit engraving workers.

only to find that those people had already been pulled away by the Xie family's heavy money, and no one came to work for him at all.

Only then did I understand that the Xie family was playing a trick on him, and even the businessman who came to place an order for him must be a member of the Xie family.

However, for Lu Ning, these are not important, after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered something called clay movable type.

He quickly drew the relevant drawings, and then handed the things to Li Qi and asked him to arrange all the specific matters.

Originally, this kind of thing should have been done by Li Jinglong, but this big apprentice is still sitting in Dongying and has not returned. I handed it over to Li Qi to practice.

I heard that Lu Ning had made such a high-tech product as clay type, and the Xie family sent a young master named Xie Feng to threaten Lu Ning.

This Xie Feng is also used to being powerful and lucky, so naturally he will not take people in his eyes casually.

He came to Lu Ning, looked at Lu Ning with contempt and said.

"I inform you of one thing, you share the manuscript of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with our family, otherwise I won't be able to print a single book."

At this time, Lu Ning was really in a bad mood, so he glanced at Li Qi who was standing next to him and said.

"I said, third child, when the master taught you how to deal with this kind of person, how should you do it, do you remember?"

Li Qi nodded very seriously, and then told Lu Ning.

"What the master said, the disciples have always kept it in mind, and there will never be any omission in the face of such things, we should convince people with virtue."

Hearing such a conversation between the master and apprentice, Xie Feng almost died of laughter, and he was bullied to the extent that he came to find fault with others, and he even had to convince people with virtue.

But before he finished laughing, he saw Li Qi pick up a wooden stick next to him and pick it up, and then there was a crackling beating, directly beating him into a pig's head.

Lu Ning nodded, smiled at Li Qi and said.

"That's right, if anyone dares to come to us to make trouble in the future, then reason with them in this way until they also agree with our reasoning."

Only then did Xie Feng understand that the so-called convincing people with virtue turned out to be like this, and he was completely speechless.

He immediately left Lu Ning's place, for fear that he would continue to be beaten again, but he couldn't just forget about being beaten, so he let it go.

"If anyone dares to cooperate with the Lu family's printing house, it will be the enemy of the entire Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, and he will definitely not let his business continue to open normally."

After getting such a threat, these merchants naturally dared not speak out.

All of them withdrew from cooperation with Lu Ning, and some even unilaterally tore up the agreement, which made Lu Ning a little distressed, and it seems that the suppression of forces is really effective.

However, Lu Ning thought about it carefully and felt that if the other party could suppress himself by relying on his strength, why didn't he use his strength to suppress others?

This is called retribution and retribution, and the way of others is to govern others.

Lu Ning came to Zhu Di, although the two had some misunderstandings because of the previous incident, they had already released their previous suspicions.

So, Zhu Di asked directly.

"Zi'an, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but it doesn't matter, no matter what you ask me to help you with, I, the fourth brother, will never let you down."

Lu Ning told the Ying Tian Chamber of Commerce about the trouble with himself, and then said to Zhu Di.

"Not only do I have no partners now, but I can't recruit workers, so I want to ask my fourth brother to do me a favor and send some soldiers to work with me, and this is your help for me."

Zhu Di understood that the Xie family must be making trouble in this matter, but now he doesn't want to offend the Xie family, after all, it is the home of heroes.

It was not a problem to send some workers to work in Lu Ning in the Department of Domestic Goods, and Zhu Di immediately sent him five hundred.

The technique of firing clay movable type, Lu Ning has all in his head.

As for the letters of the movable type, they were in the hands of the family headed by Fauber, and these workers were only responsible for the simple carrying work.

Due to the use of movable type printing, saving the time of engraving, Luo Guanzhong is responsible for typesetting, and Lu Ning's two ladies are responsible for proofreading, and the work is progressing very smoothly and is particularly efficient.

In just one day, more than 1,000 copies were printed, which is still a small number, but this kind of experimental work proves that this batch of movable type was very successful.

But just as he was about to reprint, a group of people suddenly broke in, saying that they would close down the printing house.

Lu Ning took a closer look, and the person leading the team was not wearing official clothes, but wearing silk and satin like a businessman, which made him a little depressed.

"Who the hell are you? Since I am not an official person, why should I seize my printing house! ”

The other party was not entangled at all, and directly took out a sign with Yingtian Chamber of Commerce written on it.
