Liu Che's answer was quite different from what Qin Yu expected, but after thinking about it, Qin Yu understood in his heart.

Books, no matter which dynasty in ancient times, were not an easy product, and it was difficult for readers to get a book!

First of all, the printed books can only be based on engraving printing, engraving printing does not talk about labor costs, just by the time, it is enough to make people desperate, if you want a set of high-quality printed books, I am afraid to wait a year and a half, that is a normal situation.

Secondly, good books will not circulate in the market, but will only exist in the homes of official eunuchs, or in some large families who read and cultivated heirlooms, and if they want to borrow or copy by hand, without friendship or relationship, it is impossible for ordinary readers to see them.

If a large family takes out a good collection of books at home and reprints them into a book, the readers who can buy the printed version of that book must be grateful for burning high incense and establishing a shrine!

For various reasons, books are expensive, and there is indeed a reason why they are expensive!

"Look at your breath! When did I want you to lose money and make money? ”

Liu Che didn't believe what Qin Yu said at all, but told Qin Yu about the powerful relationship.

"Brother Qin, I admit that your ideas are very powerful, you don't have to do it, I can also think of the crazy scenes of those readers! But we also have to consider the cost! ”

"A set of carved engravings, not to mention forty or fifty taels of silver, must also cost one or twenty taels, right? This is just a successful algorithm for engraving without errors and omissions! If you add the invalid engraving, and add another fifty taels of silver, it's not much, right? Finally, counting the craftsman's wages, a set of engravings is down, and I don't want it to be exquisite, but it's not too much to count seventy taels of silver, right? ”

"The engraving is done, but it's only the engraving, you still have to find someone to print it, right? Paper, this thing, we have in the paper workshop, let's not count it, the cost of printing, we can also plane out, but what you can't save is the loss of engraving! You may be able to print a engraving 500 times, or you may be scrapped 100 times! No one could have predicted this! ”

"A plate is scrapped, you have to find someone to re-engrave it, the silver doesn't matter, but it takes time! For such a long time, Nanfang Jin can his tail to the sky! ”

"We're trying to get him, and we're not going to fight him for a long time!"

As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, there was a little fine foam on the side of his mouth, and he didn't care about Qin Yu, he directly grabbed the teacup, and poured the whole cup of tea that was still a little hot.

Qin Yu kept smiling, and after Liu Che finished drinking the tea, he asked, "Finished?" ”

Liu Che cleared his throat and nodded, what he said just now was really a little too dense.

The rice paper made by the papermaking workshop is indeed profitable, but it can't stand being made like this!

The key to this style of play is to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and self-damage by 800!

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good deal!

"Who told you we're going to use engraving?"

"I'm grass!" Qin Yu's words directly made Liu Che burst out foul language.

"Brother Qin, my good brother! What are you doing here? Tell my brother about it! Let my brother die willingly! Liu Che instantly became flattering.

An ordinary papermaking workshop, according to Qin Yu's guidance on papermaking, can instantly become a role that competes with Jiangnan Dao Xuan Paper, and now Qin Yu said that it can be printed without engraving printing, and printing books come out, if this kind of news is released, I'm afraid all readers will not be able to sit still, right?

"Haven't you thought that since engraving printing can print books, then another method can still be 'engraving' printing?"

Liu Che couldn't listen to Qin Yu's selling, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, there are just two of us here, what else are you selling with me?" You're going to kill me! ”

Seeing that Liu Che was going to have a pulling and pulling posture, Qin Yu took a step back quietly, and said: "I won't sell it to you, it's actually very simple, that is, make every word on the engraving into an independent word, and finally put all the words together, and it will become a complete 'engraving'." Qin Yu explained the basic principles of movable type printing to Liu Che.

After Liu Che listened, his brows furrowed directly, he really wanted to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

"Brother Qin, isn't that engraving printing? Isn't this a hassle and effort? ”

Qin Yu understood, Liu Che didn't understand at all.

"Let's go! I'll take you to see it in person! At the very least, keep your pants from being lost! ”

Qin Yu joked with Liu Che, Liu Che was not annoyed, the curiosity in his heart was more than everything!

Taking Liu Che's carriage, the coachman, under the leadership of Liu Erniu, came directly to the Tiangongfang in the west of the city.

Tiangongfang, not a workshop, but a square market, the market is mostly craftsmen and craftsmen, and there are many objects, so it is named after the word Tiangong in the "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Liu Che looked at the not-so-eye-catching house in front of him, and turned back to Qin Yu in disbelief and asked, "Brother Qin, don't tell me, this is the place you chose?" ”

Qin Yu nodded.

This is a place where craftsmen gather, and it is not a special thing for someone to hire a group of craftsmen to work in one room!

Liu Che saw Qin Yu's movements, opened his mouth and was a little dumbfounded, and his two hands frequently pointed around, as if he was saying something very serious and serious!

Qin Yu understood what Liu Che was trying to express, and there was Liu Laoqi's experience of eating inside and out, the place Qin Yu was choosing now was full of people and mixed mouths, dragons and snakes were mixed, and if he wanted to cover up the secret, it was simply a big sieve to plug the hole, and everywhere was an eye!

"I put people in it, and I paid all the craftsmen twice as much as they could in the market, and promised that if they could work for me for three years, they would be able to use whatever I taught them! Whether it's your own independent portal, or spread it out! ”

Liu Che felt that his ears were blocked by earwax, otherwise he would not have heard such an outrageous thing.

A family heirloom craft, you can send it away, and you only need to work for three years, and in these three years, the salary you get is twice as high as the market price!!

This is equivalent to taking the salary as an apprentice, and it is the kind that the master will not leave a hand!

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Yu was also a disciple of a general, Liu Che really wanted to hold Qin Yu's ear and ask loudly: "If you are like this, aren't you afraid that the apprentices of the church will starve to death of the master?" ”

"Don't look at me with that look! I know that when I am an apprentice, I have to work for the master for three years, and I am afraid that I am the first loser in the world with this generous handicraft, right? ”

Liu Che had a deep understanding of Qin Yu's self, and nodded his head with all his might, not afraid of breaking his neck at all.

"Where is the motivation without temptation? Now I pay them twice the market price, and they will certainly not move their nests, and no one will be willing to give up this money! But wages have always been like this, and it won't be long before they become dissatisfied and feel that they should be able to get more out of their abilities! ”

"And then you need to hang it with the art of teaching! Everyone wants to have a craft to pass on to future generations! ”

"But, here..."Qin Yu's logic was clear, but Liu Che didn't think that Qin Yu would be able to keep this craft.

However, before the words were officially spoken, Qin Yu interrupted him with a smile.

"You think I can't stop some people's thoughts, and I think so too! Three years is not a long time, it is not a short time, and people's hearts cannot guess! But I can control it! ”

"There is a surplus of wages, and there is the temptation of craftsmanship! Within a year and a half, I still feel confident that I won't let them leak their secrets! ”

"Leaking out too early is not a good thing for themselves! Who knows if I'm hiding a hand? ”

Liu Che felt a little dry mouth, and at the same time he was a little happy in his heart!

Glad that he and Qin Yu are in the same group!

Brother Qin, now they are all starting to play with people's hearts!

Qin Yu saw that he had frightened Liu Che, and he was also very happy in his heart!

In his previous life, his boss painted a big cake for him, and he had enough to eat!

Now he just brought some fur over, and it was enough for the craftsmen of Hou Qin to eat!

Pushing open the door, the two young men stood behind the door, and immediately greeted Qin Yu when they saw him.

Liu Che was not interested in these two people, he was more interested in the craftsmen in the courtyard.

An apprentice-like man saws wood, and next to him is a master-like man, holding a planer to planing small wooden strips of the same size, and the basket at his feet is full of processed short wooden strips.

Liu Che approached curiously, squatting down and preparing to take out one from the basket to take a closer look.

The old master who was planing the wood strips was about to scold, but he couldn't help but see the gorgeous clothes on Liu Che's body, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Qin Yu following behind, and he didn't bother to care.

It's really hard to say who cares about the people brought by the owner!

"Brother Qin, what is this?" Liu Che raised a wooden strip the size of his middle finger and turned his head to Qin Yu and asked.

The answer is in the next room! You go in and have a look, don't you know? ”

Hearing this, Liu Che threw the short wooden strip in his hand in the basket and strode towards the room next to him.

The sound of the carving knife cutting through the wood finally made Liu Che believe that the group of people Qin Yu was looking for were doing engraving work.

As far as the movement outside, if it weren't for Qin Yu's explanation, he would suddenly break in, I'm afraid he would only think that this was a carpenter who was looking for to do carpentry.

Liu Che walked into the house with light steps, he was afraid of disturbing these craftsmen who were carving.

In his thinking, he still felt that if there was a mistake in the engraving of the engraving plate, the whole engraving would be wasted!

Standing behind a craftsman, Liu Che looked at this craftsman with his own eyes, and after a few knives, half a word appeared in every square inch.

Turning his head to look around, he saw a half-basket full of finished products.

Liu Che, like a curious baby, did not stop behind the craftsman, walked directly to the basket, and picked up a few words casually.

The font is not from the hand of that kind of famous artist, but it is better to be upright.

"Do you see?"

Qin Yu's movement suddenly sounded in his ears, and Liu Che, who was frightened, was excited, holding a few words in his hand, and also dropped one or two.

Liu Che saw that it was Qin Yu, and shook his head in confusion.

Qin Yu was also speechless!

It's all so obvious, Liu Che still can't understand it?

"The things in your hands are arranged in order, just like stamps, isn't that what you need for a book?"

Qin Yu woke up the dreamer with a word!

Liu Che's eyes burst out with dazzling brilliance!

It's that simple!

Why didn't the world think of it?

Qin Yu, how did he grow his brain? Can you see through this?
