This......? Yang Qian was stunned, hurriedly returned to the workshop, found the carpenter just now, and instructed him to immediately rebuild a few sets of wooden boxes, wooden frames, rollers and iron pens like the one just now, one is not too little, nine is not too much, these things should be made in a big way, the more the better!

There are also iron pens and smooth metal plates, Fu Xuechen's set of blunted awls and copper mirrors to transform, in fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, just find a blacksmith workshop to customize it! By the way, there is also wax paper, and the wax paper must also be made in large quantities, and Fu Xuechen must also add the outer frame lines and grid lines drawn on the wax paper in advance, and all the frame lines must be of uniform size......

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and the time for the next duty had already passed, Yang Qian had no idea of going home from the duty at all, he was excited, urging and ordering his craftsmen to do things, and he couldn't wait to get a large number of the new printing equipment invented by Fu Xuechen.

Fortunately, when it was necessary to rush work, the craftsmen did not fight at night, and whenever this happened, the workshop was in charge of the food, since the chief officer had an order, then they just did it, and no one protested, and no one had the idea that they could not work overtime in vain these years.

Yang Qian asked the kitchen of the workshop to bring him a dinner, so he went straight to the office of the workshop here, spread out the pen and paper, and began to write a submission, this matter is too big! You must immediately tell the officials to know!

It is best to create one or two sets tomorrow, and report to the Ministry of Industry with the submission, and then the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry will know the Shengshang, which is a change in the skills of the millennium.

Of course, Yang Qian is not the kind of person who will take the credit of others, the device was invented by the Fu family, even if the other party is young and underage, his submission will still praise the child and truthfully report his credit.

Yang Qian ate happily, and hurriedly left the office and entered the workshop, he wanted to take a look, how is everyone's progress, and whether the equipment has been made.

At the end of the workshop, a separate space has been created, and several craftsmen are busy.

In addition to the original carpenter, there were two more carpenters here, both of whom followed the old carpenter and learned to make the cylinder and the matching new wood-framed wooden box for printing. In addition, the blacksmith's workshop was also working on the manufacture of refills and iron plates for iron pens at the same time, and the papermaking workshop was also ordered to try out a new type of wax paper with lattice.

The refills are the best to make, and at this time the blacksmith workshop has already sent a few to this side, and the carpenters put the pre-drilled barrels that have been prepared on the refills, and then retouched and glued them, and then made a few more iron pens.

Yang Qian learned from Fu Xuechen's appearance, personally holding the iron pen to write on the wax paper, he was not used to these things, scratched several pieces of wax paper, and barely mastered the strength of the pen, the iron hook silver stroked a poem on the wax paper, about a hundred words, only a small piece in the middle of the wax paper.

The font is the size of a big finger, Yang Qian also wants to write big characters, but unfortunately the iron pen is so small that he can't write big characters.

After taking the newly made wooden box, putting the white paper, then hoopping the wax paper, closing the frame, then taking the roller dipped in pine ink, and rolling it back and forth on the wax paper in the wooden frame twice, opening the wooden frame, on the white paper at the top of the box, this successfully printed the word just written.

Yang Qian is such a big person, his beard is almost gray, holding the newly arrived printed paper and staring at the poems carved by himself on it, looking left and right, he grinned like a child and couldn't find the north.

He was a literati, and his favorite thing was to deal with words, and together with his classmates and friends, he also published several poetry collections, but these poetry collections were handed over to the bookstore to be printed, and the craftsmen of the printing workshop at most carved their poems and words neatly on the lead or pottery plates, which were very different from the brush characters written by their literati themselves, and there was no calligraphy art at all.

However, this wax paper printing is different, although writing with an iron pen can not fully reflect the unique pen edge changes of brush characters, but after all, the structure and style characteristics of Yang Qian's own words can be completely rubbed, which is amazing!

Think about it, with such convenient wax paper printing, literati who didn't know how to engrave anti-Chinese characters can easily print many books they want, and even want to reproduce their own paintings, as long as they can write, what kind of earth-shaking change is this?!

There are also many notices, circulars, sea fishing documents, and other things in various prefectures and counties, which need to be copied and distributed in large quantities, and this kind of writing is always in new demand, and it is worth every time it is engraved and printed for this, so that the officials above and below the official office are often busy copying official documents.

If there is this wax paper printing equipment, all official documents only need to be engraved in one copy, and then you can print a few copies if you want to, even if you need to print hundreds of copies, it is only a matter of half an hour, which can save you how much time and energy!

Yang Qian was thinking happily, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the trembling Master Liu, who looked like he wanted to speak and stopped behind him.

"Huh? Old Liu, what do you want to say? Although. Yang Qian took the initiative to ask in a good mood.

Master Liu hesitated, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and looked up at Yang Qian: "Lord in charge, the little one wants to ask, does this still need to be carved in the future?" All of us can only engraving, aren't we...... Isn't it ......"

He didn't dare to ask, but Yang Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant.

Indeed, with such a convenient printing process, it seems that printing does not need so many engravings, so it seems that the printing workshop, which originally needed hundreds of people, may have to cut many craftsmen, and the industry is about to usher in a subversive blow, and many craftsmen are facing unemployment......

Yang Qian's mind turned rapidly, and he replied in a deep voice for a while: "You can rest assured for the time being, the printing workshop of the Ministry of Industry, after all, is also responsible for printing the complete book of historical records compiled by the National Dynasty, and this text must be unified, and the engraving printing must continue to be done, and it will not be invalidated." ”

"Yes, yes!" Master Liu was very happy when he heard this.

Yang Qian was silent, the previous happiness was a little less, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry do not need to worry, other printing workshops in the world may not retain the time-consuming and costly engraving printing, they are pursuing profits, can use the convenient, low-cost wax paper printing method, how can it be possible to spend a high cost to make engraving, raise so many engraving craftsmen?!

It is conceivable that once the new printing method spreads all over the world, the printing industry will immediately be an earthquake, countless craftsmen are unemployed, and countless people who rely on engraving printing to make a living have to change their doors and find another way to make a living......

However, Yang Qian did not want to stop the progress of this matter, after all, compared with the social problem of a large number of people unemployed, the development benefits and positive impact that convenient printing technology can bring to the world are much more profound! He knows what to choose.
