Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 166: The love letter comes, the movable type is now!
Not long after Li Tai left, Li Jingmo returned with a group of people to welcome his relatives.
Papa Li's face was red and beaming, he was dragged by his wife to ask questions, and he didn't seem impatient at all.
Xiao Xi came over secretly, got close to Li Zexuan, and whispered: "Master, the young lady cried when she saw your letter, and she asked me to bring you a letter."
Li Zexuan said with joy: "Get it quickly!"
Xiao Xi carefully took out a letter from his waist purse and handed it to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan took it, walked to the side, took a look at it, and saw a beautiful line of small characters: "I want to know each other and live a long life. The mountains have no edges, the world is united, and the rivers and waters are exhausted. Array, Xia Yuxue, dare to be with you!"
This is a love song of folk music in the Han Dynasty. The name is "Shang Xie". Li Zexuan expresses his love to Han Yuxi straightforwardly with nasty love words, and Han Yuxi expresses his unswerving commitment to love with poetry.
This girl, she should be shy when she should be shy. Once she expresses her will, she will be passionate and unrestrained in love. Li Zexuan smiled triumphantly and found the treasure. Is this girl more cute?
Xiao He and Xiao Xi looked at Li Zexuan's smile too much, and couldn't help but retreat far away with fear.
…………
The second day.
"Sir, what are you doing here today?"
Li Tai left unwillingly yesterday, but he did not believe Li Zexuan's words, thinking that Li Zexuan deliberately used excuses to prevaricate him, so he came to the workshop today.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Come and get the teaching materials! I told the students as a teacher the day before yesterday that I can't just print teaching materials for everyone, right?"
Textbook, **** textbook! Hearing these two words, Li Tai suddenly remembered his foolish act of buying teaching materials at a high price that day, so he followed behind silently and never wanted to speak anymore.
Looking at him like that, Li Zexuan knew what he was thinking. Tie Dan had already told him the day before yesterday. Li Zexuan did not approve or oppose this kind of thing. Anyway, one would like to fight and the other would suffer. Suffering, and Li Tai is not short of the money.
………
When you come to the workshop, you will see a dense and busy craftsmanship. Compared with the beginning, the number of craftsmen in the Qiquge Workshop has increased more than three times.
Mainly due to the short supply of scooters and skateboards. Both of these items were hard to find in Chang'an. Last month, they negotiated a cooperation with Wang Renbiao, and he was given 50% of the money every month. The supply of Qiquge Workshop, which is already under-supply, is even more stretched.
Seeing that Li Zexuan came, these craftsmen did not stop their work, only when Li Zexuan walked to their side, they raised their heads and said hello with a smile.
This is what Li Zexuan explained before. He doesn't like to engage in formalism. For him, efficiency is king.
The craftsmen now have a sense of belonging to the workshop. Not only are the treatments good here, but there are no official officials who are always yelling at you. They can get the most basic respect here, so they get to work. A race against time.
Li Tai saw that Li Zexuan was here, and the craftsmen were still in their original positions, performing their duties. He couldn't help but be amazed. The royal workshop-the supervisor of the royal workshop, he hasn't been there, but every time he goes, All the officials and craftsmen flocked out, vying to bow down to him, and Li Tai also tires of it.
Seeing the orderly scene of the Qiqu Pavilion Workshop now, Li Tai couldn't help thinking, this is what the workshop should look like!
Led by a guy, Li Zexuan came to a spacious independent yard, where dozens of craftsmen were putting the dried clay molds in a certain order, neatly arranged in a pre-made frame. A full box becomes a version. Then brush the ink, cover the paper, and press in one go, and one page of the book is printed.
Li Tai, who was next to him, opened his eyes in surprise, and said with a dazed look: "What kind of printing method is this, this, this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Li Zexuan laughed loudly and said: "Qing Que, there are so many things you haven't seen before. Let's learn from your teacher! Haha!"
After that, he left Li Tai with a bewildered face, and went straight in to find Liu Yidao.
"Master Liu, how about this movable type printing?"
When Li Zexuan walked in, he saw Liu Yidao playing with some freshly dried plastic movable type, he asked with a smile.
"Oh, master, you are here. This movable type printing is really amazing, it just avoids the insufficiency of engraving. As long as enough single movable type is prepared in advance, you can make imposition at any time, which greatly speeds up the plate making time. Later, the plate can be disassembled and reused, and the movable type occupies less space than the engraving plate, so it is easy to store and keep.
If you only print more than 30 textbooks of the young master, it is certainly not as cost-effective as hiring someone to copy, but these movable type can be kept for future use. If you need to print any books in the future, the cost will be too low! "
When Liu Yidao saw Li Zexuan coming in, he quickly stood up and said excitedly.
As soon as Li Zexuan wanted to answer the call, he heard Li Taija who had just entered the door screaming: "Haha, this method is amazing, Li Zexuan, you are a genius!"
Li Tai was so excited that he stopped calling his husband and called Li Zexuan directly.
Seeing that Li Tai was praising him, Li Zexuan decided not to care about this with him.
"Master, who is this?"
Liu Yidao is an old man and a good eye. He saw that Li Tai was noble and he was definitely not an ordinary person, so he asked aloud.
Li Zexuan didn't want to scare him, waved his hand and said: "This is just me a student!"
Li Tai shrugged~IndoMTL.com~ did not say anything to identify himself.
Liu Yidao said "Oh" and thought to himself that the young master was teaching at the Imperial College. Since this person can follow the young master and is also a student of the young master, 80% of them should be a servant of an official, so he bowed his hand to Li Tai. Counted as saying hello.
"Master Liu, when will my textbook be printed?"
Li Zexuan came here today to get teaching materials, so he asked directly.
"Master, you can print them all in the afternoon and finish the binding. Then the young man will be sent to your house!"
Liu Yidao replied.
Li Zexuan nodded in satisfaction. He thought for a while and then asked: "Master Liu, last time I asked you to set up a printing department, how did you prepare?"
"Master, the basic prototype of the printing department has been set up. At present, there is one person in charge, 20 craftsmen in charge of carving, more than 40 craftsmen in charge of typesetting and printing, and a scholar in charge of text proofreading."
Li Zexuan wondered: "Oh? There are even scholars willing to come here?"
In Li Zexuan’s impression, the ancient scholars, peasants, workers, and merchants were clearly differentiated in the hierarchy. Scholars all had eyes above the top, so how could they engage in the low-level industry they call?
Liu Yi slashed his beard and smiled and said: "Master, not all scholars can be named on the gold list. After all, those who fail the list account for the majority, and they also need to earn money to make a living!"
