Chapter 198: Movable Type Printing
The second update!
Ask for subscriptions, ask for rewards, ask for monthly passes!
The story of the West Chamber has been told for almost half of it!
There is still some left unspoken!
After Yang Chen woke up, his spirit was radiant, the Fu rune in his mind continued to vibrate, and one after another thoughts came from the dark void.
One, ten, hundred... Three hundred, until five hundred to the power of the mind, then stopped.
"Five hundred telekinesis?"
That's crazy, isn't it?
Yang Chen, who originally had some self-blame for going to the natural residence late, felt the five hundred thoughts coming from the dark void, and he was shocked and speechless.
How can there be so much telekinesis!
It's just incredible!
"Is it that the villagers of Yanwangzhuang last night all believed in themselves wholeheartedly overnight, or is it that "The Legend of the West Chamber" is very popular and has attracted a large number of book fans?"
Yang Chen felt particularly shocked!
When you calm down, you have to look at the source of these thoughts from the merit sigils.
At a glance, he saw his student, Ma Wencai was already waiting outside the house, standing quietly alone, staying outside the house and not coming in.
"It's a good seedling!"
Ma Wencai looks hippie and smiling, but as the grandson of the richest man in Weicheng, he will inherit the family business in the future, and his family education is also very strict.
As the children of businessmen, they know that knowledge is not easy to come by, and they study harder, more seriously, and have more respect for their master.
"Wencai, when did you come, why don't you come in, just wake up Master!"
Outside the courtyard, guarded by the Qimen Bagua Maze Array, Yang Chen fell asleep, lifeless, and not alert.
Hearing Yang Chen's voice, Ma Wencai walked into the house.
"Master, you're up, I didn't bother you because I saw that you hadn't woken up yet!"
"Master, do you know, I asked me to print 200 copies of the three-character scripture yesterday, I thought it would be difficult to sell, but who knows, this morning, I just put the goods in the shops everywhere, and early in the morning, they were sold out, and the shopkeepers of these shops also asked their families to step up printing. ”
Ma Wencai talked about the "Three Character Classic", his eyebrows fluttered, and he was triumphant.
"The Three Character Classic" dares to say a scripture, which is a true scripture treasure, which has an unparalleled role in opening the enlightenment of living beings, and the sentences are catchy and easy to understand.
Printing such a book can be described as fame and fortune, and such a good thing cannot be found with a lantern.
However, if it were other scholarly families who had a true scripture treasure, they would have been privately hidden and passed on to future generations, as a family heirloom, and only a person like Yang Chen who had a mind of everything had the courage to make such a true scripture treasure public.
Yang Chen smiled but said nothing.
He had expected such an outcome.
You must know that "The Three Character Classic" is one of the three major enlightenment divine readings in Yang Chen's previous life, which has been circulated for hundreds of years and has been respected by various dynasties, so you can see how charming this book is!
"Your grandfather, how much are you going to print?"
"You know, this book is enough for Mafu to buy for a lifetime, how many mansions, how many cities, how many villages, how many populations the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are also other countries, think about it, how long do you have to buy it, how much it will cost to sell, even if it is bought for several generations, it may not be possible to buy this book all over the world!"
With Yang Chen's description of the blueprint for the future, Ma Wencai's breathing became a little heavy.
Such a future is too beautiful.
However, Marven believes in such prospects.
"The Book of Three Characters" is a treasure book, whether it is rich or not, who doesn't want to be able to buy such a treasure book for their children and grandchildren.
However, Ma Wencai's brows immediately drooped a little.
"Master, the book is a good book, I see a lot of people, and it must be crazy to rob it, but the cost of wanting to print this "Three Character Classic" is very high, grandpa in order to let more people be able to buy this treasure book, the price is not high, in addition to the cost, it is profitable, and it is unrealistic to want to print it on a large scale. ”
Yang Chen frowned, "How much does it cost to print something, is it expensive?"
Ma Wencai said, "Master, you are a scholar, and some of these business things are still not very clear, you may not know that the best printing technology is used now, engraving printing." ”
"Engraving printing is to paste a neat manuscript on a smooth wooden board of a certain thickness, and the front of the thin and almost transparent manuscript paper is attached to the wooden board, and the characters become reversed, and the strokes are clearly legible. The engraver uses a carving knife to cut off the part of the layout without handwriting, which becomes the yang script with the font convex, which is completely different from the stele yin script with the font recessed. ”
"When printing, ink is applied to the raised font, and then the paper is covered on top of it, and the back of the paper is gently brushed, and the handwriting remains on the paper. ”
"When printing the book, first use a brush dipped in ink, brush it on the carved board, then cover the board with white paper, and take a clean brush and gently brush it on the back of the paper, take down the paper, and a page of the book is printed. After the pages are printed, they are bound into a book, and the book is successfully printed. ”
"The book "Three Character Classic" has a lot of words in it, and it will take many days to engrave it. ”
"The 200 copies printed today are also part of the content of the first part of the "Three Character Classic", and the content behind it is still in the process of stepping up engraving, when it will be printed, it is still unknown?"
Besides, after the time-consuming and laborious engraving, there is no other use for the printing of the "Three Character Classic", and the cost is also very high. ”
"Only this book, the more printed, the more profitable it is. ”
In business, if it weren't for the treasure book written by his master Yang Chen, Marven would have left a manuscript, but if he wanted such a large-scale printing, he didn't even think about it.
"However, it's not a waste of work, you don't know, since the master sold part of the first part of the "Three Character Classic" in the shop, there have been countless people who have come to the shop to buy it out, and some of the ones that have not been bought are still waiting in line in front of the shop, and the line is like a long line, winding for miles, and you can't see the edge. ”
"Those who can buy this treasure book are all grateful to the Ma family, and they are even more regarded as a half-master!"
Yang Chen thought about it, no wonder there would be so much mental power surging in his Fu Zhengshen sigil, which must be related to the issuance of this "Three Character Sutra".
It's just that I feel a little weird about the engraving printing technology mentioned by Marven.
"Engraving printing is really too expensive, can't you use movable type printing?" )
