Qi Meng Xuanji

Xuanji looked at the man working in front of him, and was a little confused for a while, is he planning to consume it with himself today?

On this day, Zhao Jianshen’s carriage walked around the capital a few times, and the places to go were all strange. Although Zhao Jianshen and the Wangfu Congren were very surprised by Xuanji’s special shopping hobby, Xuanji was also secretly surprised by the power of Zhao Wangfu. The seven stores are more or less related to the Zhao Wangfu.

When eating at noon, Xuanji couldn't help but said: "I don't think I usually look at the accounts. I looked at it today and found that the business of the palace is really big!"

Zhao Jianshen smiled and said, "Shen's business is several times larger than that of the Prince's Mansion. You'll know when I'll take you to visit various places in a while."

Xuanji said: "Your surname is Zhao, how can you have anything to do with Shen?"

"Shen Haoyun, the founder of the Shen family, is my master. He has not married his life. When I was very young, he decided to hand over the Shen family to me. For convenience, I adopted the master's surname Shen when I was in the Shen family." Zhao Jianshen replied.

"It's a coincidence, your name is the reverse of Shen Jian." Xuanji snickered, and when betting with people, you can say that you lose your name and read it upside down, anyway, you won't suffer.

The two of them were eating and chatting, and suddenly Zhao Zheng came to report that someone asked to see him.

The one who came was the shopkeeper Huang from Mingxin Study on the street next to him. He said that the bookstore had several new sets of books just finished making the plates, and wanted to invite Lord Wang to take a look.

Mingxin Study is also the property of the palace, and it is the largest bookstore in the capital. Although shopkeeper Huang runs a bookstore, he is a typical businessman. He went out at noon and saw the prince’s carriage parked in front of the restaurant. He heard that the prince was at the restaurant. After eating inside, he immediately sought a way to curry favor.

In the past, Zhao Jianshen didn't bother to take care of the bookstore's warm-swallowing business, but today when Xuanji saw the bookstore, his eyes were bright, and he casually agreed.

Mingxin Study is called the No. 1 bookstore in Beijing. In addition to the largest collection of books, it also occupies the largest area. It occupies a small half of the street. Enter through the gate and divide the front, middle and back into three. First, the store where the books are displayed. It is a small garden with rockery and water, pavilions and pavilions. Many literati and inkmen who come to buy books gather here to discuss manuscripts. Finally, it is the workshop of the bookstore. People are usually prohibited from entering and leaving, and a large number of workers are making books at this moment. The place where the book editions are stored is in a large farm outside the city.

The reason why Xuanji wanted to read a book was because she suddenly thought of this era. I wonder what stage the printing technology has reached? I just heard that the shopkeeper Huang said that the new book has been plate-making, is it still using engraving printing now?

When I arrived at Mingxin Study's workshop, it turned out that it was actually engraved printing. The workers were attentively following the manuscripts on the wooden boards. There were broken boards piled up in the corner of the workshop.

Xuanji only glanced at the door and was kindly asked to leave by the shopkeeper Huang, lest she affect the workers.

If you make a mistake, this edition is scrapped! Shopkeeper Huang whispered in his heart, the prince is too spoiled for this woman, are stereotypes just for fun? The woman said she wanted to read it, so she let her watch it. Tsk tsk, if the engraving is broken, the workers will not have time to hand in the edition, and what can be done if the book period is missed. There are several books designated by the emperor.

Of course, the shopkeeper Huang was dissatisfied, but the flattery on his face was half unabated. Not to mention the relationship between this woman and the prince, she was a great steward in the palace, and her level was several levels higher than her own.

"Are all the books printed page by page?" Xuanji felt that she still had to confirm.

auzw.com The shopkeeper Huang is not clear, so he nodded, thinking how to print if it wasn't this moment? This woman's problem is really strange.

Xuanji got the affirmative answer, excited! Hey, as long as you show off the principle of movable type printing, won't you become a contemporary inventor? The ancestors of China actually invented such a good technology. I am really sorry for the thousands of years of civilization of the ancestors of the Han nationality if I didn't copy it here!

Leaving the bookstore and getting into the carriage, Xuanji couldn't wait to say to Zhao Jianshen: "Give me a thousand taels, I have a great idea to print a book for you!"

Zhao Jianshen glanced at Xuanji: "What do you want so much money for? How can I be sure that your good idea is worth this price? You should be very clear about the bookstore's annual revenue. This is the revenue of Mingxin Study Headquarters for half a year."

Two taels is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend a month, and one thousand taels is definitely not a small sum.

Xuanji blinked and said proudly: "My idea is very cheap for one thousand taels, and it is definitely worth the money. Besides, you are my boss, and I still rely on you for food. Do you dare to swindle your money?"

Xuanji's big eyes were dazzling, and she saw that Zhao Jianshen wanted to remove her veil, and put her in her arms for a good affection, but the time was not yet ripe. Zhao Jianshen sighed in her heart and said: "Deal. Get your idea." tell me the story."

Xuanji smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's go back to the palace, go back and show it to you!"

Back at the palace, Xuanji specially called Zhang Qiaoyu and Zhang Ma to testify, and formally gave a lecture and display in the study.

"The best and most labor-saving method for printing a book is movable type printing. Just like a seal, only one word is engraved on each square column seal of the same size. When printing, these seals are arranged in a box in the order of the text of the manuscript. There are enough small seals, so you don’t need to be rigid every time you print a book in the future. You just need to arrange these seals. The bookstore doesn’t have to store so many book blocks. You are also worried about mold and insects. Of course, if you want to print pictures, you still have to The single page is rigid, but the pictures are few after all"

Xuanji was talking, and found that there was something quiet in the study, not waiting for the expected applause and praise, but waiting for the surprised eyes of the three people in front of him.

"What's the matter? Am I wrong?" Xuan Ji asked in confusion.

Zhang Qiaoyu slapped his thigh, jumped up from the chair, excited, pacing back and forth while rubbing his hands, muttering, "Wonderful! It's wonderful! How come I never thought of such a good way before."

Turning his head to look at Xuanji, he happily said, "Xuanji, Xuanji, where did you come out of the living baby, hahaha, which one of your methods is worth one thousand taels, or even one thousand taels!"

Zhao Jianshen also showed a rare expression of excitement, not to mention Zhang Ma, holding Xuanji's hand, her mouth couldn't close with a smile.

Xuanji said embarrassedly: "I want ten thousand taels, but I think the prince will definitely not agree."

The three people in the hall looked at each other and laughed, Zhao Jianshen walked to Xuanji: "I only know today why you are so good at managing the accounts. It turns out that you are a money ghost. Since you think this king will not agree, how can this king make you miscalculate? Go and pay a thousand taels!"

Xuanji's mouth is flat, but she is finally rich in income. Relying on her own copycat skills, are you afraid that there will be no chance to make money in the future? Humph, the next price must be in ten thousand units!

If I have a few gossips, when the number of my collections can be 10,000 units, I will be completely complete. Fantasying seems to be a bad book title, and the clicks are relatively low.
