23. Cover it first (Happy New Year ~ Ask for a monthly pass to recommend reading)
Huang Yueying took the broken chapter version of the "Three Character Classic" copied by the old father from her old father's study, so the discussion between Pang Degong and the old father became heated again.
As for Pang Shanmin and Zhuge Shi, they sat next to Huang Yueying.
"Sister Achu, the printing of this "Three Character Classic", can you go to the workshop to see it?" Pang Shanmin was curious, really curious.
The Huang family Zhuangzi in Chuyang is full of Chu paper, and he knows this well, after all, it was made by others.
But as soon as they made Chu paper, they followed up with a printing technique.
As long as the technology is mature and the money is in place, then the world's readers will no longer have to copy books! How much effort does this save?
If that's all it takes, then that's it, but he knows very well that the girl in front of him can do a lot.
Chu paper's agency in the states has been sold, so ...... What about printed books?
He is not interested in the sale of Chu paper, but he is very interested in the dissemination of books!
"Naturally." Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, and then looked at Zhuge Clan.
This is Zhuge Liang's second sister, just by looking at her appearance, she can be called a beauty, not to mention her morality and knowledge.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to be together?"
"Is this okay?" Zhuge was a little surprised.
According to reason, these are all confidential, and Pang Shanmin can go to see it because the Pang family occupies a part of Chu Paper and has an excellent relationship with Huang Chengyan's family.
Although she married Pang Shanmin, in many families, women who marry in will be warned.
"Naturally, you can, don't say it after reading it." Huang Yueying smiled, "What does my brother think?" ”
"Naturally, I believe in Ah Rui!" Pang Shanmin glanced at his wife with a smile, and then took her hand, tender as water.
Huang Yueying: ...... What the hell can't I think about, not to mention eating my old parents' dog food, this pair also sprinkled dog food on me?
Then, he told his old father that he wanted to take Pang Shanmin and Zhuge to the workshop.
"Take the old man!" Pang Degong put down the paper in his hand.
Huang Yueying: ......
Seeing this, Huang Chengyan sighed, "Let's go together." ”
So, the group went to the workshop together.
The first year has passed, and there are some people in the fields who are preparing for spring ploughing, turning over the fields and removing the grass, but there are not many people doing these things, and it is still too cold now.
Seeing this, Huang Yueying remembered that in Jingzhou, most fields are now planted with corn, less rice, and even fewer winter wheat.
However, in Guanzhong and the northern region, due to continuous promotion, winter wheat with a harvest period of half a year is very popular.
For example, Cao Cao's purpose is very clear, Tuntian Tun is the wheat that is sui, that is, winter wheat, and even the grain that is robbed is winter wheat.
However, there is little rice planted in the northern region, at least in this era, so the more popular winter wheat and summer rice rotation patterns in later generations rarely appeared.
Huang Yueying didn't think about this stubble last year, but it can be implemented in the past two years, because Jingzhou will not experience too much war, and there are still ten years, which is enough for her to store a lot of food.
After a short time, the group walked to the new workshop by the water.
Entering the door, there is a standing sign, indicating the major sections in the workshop, and also indicating the person responsible.
"Huh? This brand has some meaning. Pang Degong touched his beard and smiled.
"It's all Ah Chu's idea, this workshop was designed by me and Ah Chu together, and these people were all managed by Ah Chu during this period." Huang Chengyan smiled proudly and touched his beard.
Huang Yueying originally thought that touching her beard was only liked by her old father, and the men of this era liked it very much, and it probably felt like a cat?
"Oh? Achu can already do so much? Pang Degong was even more surprised, glanced at Huang Yueying, and then at Huang Chengyan, who nodded and said again that this was indeed the case.
"I just set some rules, and Uncle Song and Aunt Li are responsible for the specifics." Huang Yueying shook her head, she doesn't care about people, she won't either, but she sets the rules...... She would.
"Achu is already very powerful." Pound Gong smiled.
Huang Yueying didn't say anything, in fact, the ancients were also smart, especially this kind of history has names, but in the end, thousands of years apart, thinking differently, so she took a few people directly to the carpentry room.
At the beginning of the design, there were many rooms that were vacant, and it was better to put things or do other things when the time came.
In the carpentry room, a piece of Chu paper was fixed to a square wooden board, and Li Muzheng was holding the handle behind the wooden board and pressing it on the engraving plate that had been brushed with ink.
"The owner?"
"Little lady?"
"I've seen the little lady!" Someone found Huang Yueying and a few people, so they saluted.
Li Mu also heard it, and the movements in his hand did not stop, and he pressed the wooden board firmly on the engraving plate, and only raised it after about two breaths, of course, he did not immediately put up the wooden board in his hand, but slightly let the ink be absorbed by the paper.
"If all books in the world can be printed like this, everyone can read, and it can be realized!" Pang Degong has lived for so long, how can he not understand this operation.
Huang Yueying thought about it for a while, it turned out that in the eyes of this group of people, there are not so many people in the world who read because there are not so many books......
It is clear that the carrier and the mode of transmission are not right.
"I've seen the little lady." Sun Sui also stood up from his position at this time, holding the new engraving in his hand, and then turned his neck, only to feel a little dizzy.
"Old Sun worked hard." Seeing this, Huang Yueying didn't understand why she had maintained a posture for a long time.
Look at Li Mu again, carrying a wooden board in his hand, but that hand ...... But there were several places wrapped with gauze, his eyes sank, and his tone was a little angry, "How did your hand hurt?" ”
"Well, that's it...... Accidentally injured while working. Li Mu explained, and suddenly felt a little afraid of this little lady of the owner, if ...... The little lady's voice was not so crisp, he might have turned his head and ran.
"I heard Uncle Song say, are you still working at night?"
"Yes...... There was no one else in the villain's house, and there was no field to take care of, but in the workshop, I felt comfortable. ”
Huang Yueying sighed, this damn world.
"Rest more at night, although I hope that the progress of printing will be faster, I do not want this to be your safety in exchange."
Li Mu was stunned, his nose was a little sour, no one had cared about him for a long time since his father left.
"You are human beings, not working machines, so you are not allowed to work at night."
"The light itself is not good at night, and I don't mind if you light it more, but this is a paper workshop, and paper is flammable...... Understandable? ”
In production, the first thing is always safety.
Human lives are precious, and she doesn't want this group of technical talents to fold in these places.
Even last month, the small workshop processing was overworked in three shifts, and she also focused on production safety.
"Achu is right." Huang Chengyan stood up and looked at his daughter's eyes full of pride, yes, their family Achu has always been so kind.
"If your hand is badly wounded, won't you have one less carpenter?"
"Thank you little lady, thank you to the owner." Li Mu lowered his head, tears dripped on the ground, and the girl in front of him said that he was human.
"Thank you little lady, thank you to the owner." The rest of the people thanked them too.
None of them are stupid and naturally understand who is good for them and who is bad for them. They know that the owners really care about them, not about progress.
Moreover, the group of people in the owner really treat them as human beings.
In the past, when doing work for the nobles of the noble clan, who would care about their safety?
"Okay, Li Mu, is the piece of paper in your hand printed?" Huang Yueying asked.
"Yes." So, Li Mu erected the plank, and the top was the same as the paper that Song Bo had just brought over, except that the corners were cleaner and the content was clearer.
"The way to go straight up and down is that you are afraid that the ink will stain the paper?" Pang Shanmin opened his mouth and asked, he also saw Li Mu's actions just now.
"This Lang Jun is really smart, it is true." Sun Sui smiled, "We tried to print the first paper early this morning, and even though we were very careful, we still inevitably got ink on the blank space of the paper. ”
"The one that Steward Song gave to the owner, we tried to print five sheets before one was completely clean, in order to solve this problem, we hit the board in Li Mu's hand and printed it in a different direction."
"Congratulations, you succeeded." Huang Yueying smiled.
Ancient craftsmen did not lack the ability to solve problems, many times, they just lacked vision, because they had never seen it and had not thought of it.
"It's not possible, you have to print all the books given by the little lady, then it's called success." Li Mu said with a smile, but his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Alright, it's time to rest." Huang Yueying was helpless, "The gauze that wraps the wound must be boiled in boiling water for two quarters of an hour, right...... Uncle Song! ”
"Hey, second lady." Song Bo heard this and hurriedly ran in.
"Let the doctor take care of Li Mu's hands."
"No!"
After explaining this, Huang Yueying took away a few pieces of paper they had printed, and then took Pang Degong and a few people to visit around the workshop.
"I never thought that the hydraulic mortar would save so much manpower!" Pang Degong was in a very good mood when he saw the body of the mortar car.
"This is my father's design." Huang Yueying said.
"He's used to that!" Pang Degong laughed.
"This wall is hot!" Pang Shanmin looked at the paper pasted on the wall and was a little surprised, "No wonder it's not as cold inside this workshop as it is outside." ”
"Yes, you can dry the Chu paper faster, but it can't be too hot, otherwise the paper is easy to turn yellow." Huang Yueying explained, "According to the current situation, more than 10,000 pieces of Chu paper can be produced in a day, of which one out of ten is high-grade paper, and the rest are medium paper." ”
"According to the paper price of Xiangyang, this day is more than 50,000 yuan!" Pang Shanmin stared at a pair of eyes, and then looked at Huang Yueying, "Achu...... Are you grabbing money? ”
"Brother, didn't count the labor I had to pay? However, the profits are indeed very large. ”
"If the book is printed as ...... What does Achu plan to do? Pang Shanmin then asked the next question.
"Hold it first."
