Chapter 24 23. Cover it first (Happy New Year~Please give me a monthly pass to recommend reading)
Huang Yueying took a fragmented version of the "Three Character Classic" copied by her old father from her old father's study room, and the discussion between Pang Degong and her old father became heated again.
As for Pang Shanmin and Zhuge, they sat next to Huang Yueying.
"Sister Achu, can I go to the workshop to have a look at the printing of the Three Character Classic?" Pang Shanmin was curious, really curious.
Huangjiazhuangzi in Mianyang is full of Chu paper. He knows this well. After all, it was made by others.
But people had just created Chu paper, and then they developed printing technology.
As long as the technology matures and money is available, scholars all over the world will no longer have to copy books! How much time will this save?
If that's all, then that's it, but he knows very well that the girl in front of him can do a lot.
The agency rights of Chu Paper in various states have been sold, so... what about the printed books?
He is not interested in the sale of Chu paper, but he is very interested in the dissemination of books!
"Of course." Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhuge.
This is Zhuge Liang's second sister. Just by her appearance, she can be called a beauty, let alone her moral character and knowledge.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to come with us?"
"Is this okay?" Zhuge was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, these are considered secrets. Pang Shanmin can go see them because the Pang family is a member of Chu Zhi and has a very good relationship with the Huang Chengyan family.
Although she is married to Pang Shanmin, in many aristocratic families, women who marry into her family will be wary of them.
"Of course you can. Don't talk about it after reading it." Huang Yueying smiled, "What do you think, brother?"
"Of course, I believe Ari!" Pang Shanmin looked at his wife with a smile and held her hand again, as tenderly as water.
Huang Yueying: ...What on earth can't I understand? Not only did I eat my parents' dog food, but this couple also gave me dog food?
Then, he told his old father that he wanted to take Pang Shanmin and Zhuge to the workshop.
"Take me with you!" Pang Degong put down the paper in his hand.
Huang Yueying:......
Seeing this, Huang Chengyan sighed, "Let's go together."
So, the group of people went to the workshop together.
The new year has passed, and some people in the fields are preparing for spring plowing, plowing the fields and weeding, 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 of the fields are still planted with corn, with less rice and even less winter wheat.
However, in Guanzhong and northern regions, winter wheat, which has a harvest period of half a year, is very popular due to continuous promotion.
For example, Cao Cao's purpose was very clear. What he cultivated in his fields was Sumai, which was winter wheat. Even the grain he robbed was winter wheat.
However, there was little rice cultivation in the northern region, at least at this time. Therefore, the winter wheat and summer rice rotation model that became more popular in later generations rarely appeared.
Huang Yueying didn't think of this 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 left, which is enough for her to collect a lot of food.
Not long after, the group of people arrived at the new workshop by Mianshui River.
When you enter the door, there is a sign indicating the various sections in the workshop and the person in charge.
"Huh? This brand is a bit interesting." Mr. Pang Degong touched his beard and smiled.
"It was all Achu's idea. This workshop was designed by Achu and I, and during this period, Achu was in charge of these people." Huang Chengyan smiled proudly and touched his beard.
Huang Yueying originally thought that only her old father liked touching her beard, but men of this era also liked it. It felt like stroking a cat?
"Oh? Ah Chu can already do so many things?" Pang Degong was even more surprised. He glanced at Huang Yueying and then at Huang Chengyan. The latter nodded and expressed again that this was indeed the case.
"I just made some rules. Uncle Song and Aunt Li are responsible for the specific ones." Huang Yueying shook her head. She didn't know how to manage people, but she knew how to set rules...she could.
"Achu is already very powerful." Pang Degong smiled.
Huang Yueying didn't say anything. In fact, the ancients were also smart, especially those who had names in history. But after all, they were thousands of years apart and had different thinking, so she led a few people directly to the carpentry room.
At the beginning of the design, there are many rooms that are vacant. Whether it is time to put things or do other things, it will save time to find space.
In the carpentry room, a piece of Chu paper was fixed on a square wooden board. Li Mu was holding the handle on the back of the wooden board and pressing it on the engraving that had been painted with ink.
"My boss?"
"Little lady?"
"Meet the young lady!" Someone spotted Huang Yueying and the others and met Li.
Li Mu also heard it. Without stopping, he pressed the wooden board firmly against the carving board. It took him about two breaths before he lifted it up. Of course, he did not immediately raise the wooden board in his hand, but let the ink be slightly absorbed by the paper.
Absorb it.
"If books all over the world could be printed like this, it would be achievable even if everyone read books!" Pang Degong has lived for so long, how can he not understand this operation.
Huang Yueying thought about it for a while. It turns out that in the eyes of this group of people, the reason why there are not so many scholars in the world is because there are not so many books...
It is clear that it is a carrier and the method of transmission is wrong.
"I've seen the young lady." Sun Sui also stood up from his seat at this time, holding a new engraving in his hand, and then turned his neck, feeling a little dizzy.
"It's hard work, Mr. Sun." Seeing this, Huang Yueying didn't understand why she just maintained the same posture for a long time.
Looking at Li Mu again, he was holding a wooden board in his hand, but that hand... was covered with gauze in several places. His eyes darkened and his tone became a little angry, "How did you hurt your hand?"
"Um, just... I accidentally hurt myself while working." Li Mu explained, suddenly feeling a little afraid of the young lady boss. If... the young lady's voice hadn't been so crisp, he might have turned around and ran away.
"I heard from Uncle Song that you are still working at night?"
"Yes... there is no one else in the little man's home, and there is no field to take care of. Instead, he is in the workshop and feels very comfortable."
Huang Yueying sighed, this damn world.
"Get some rest at night. Although I hope the progress of printing will be faster, I definitely don't want it to be in exchange for your safety."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, his nose was a little sore. No one had cared about him for a long time since his father passed away.
"You are human beings, not machines, so you are not allowed to work at night."
"The light at night is not good, so I don't mind if you light more lights, but this is a paper-making workshop, and the paper is flammable... Do you understand?"
In production, the first priority is always safety.
Human life is precious, and she doesn't want this group of technical talents to be lost in these places.
Even though the small workshop worked three extra shifts last month, she also emphasized on production safety.
"Achu is right." Huang Chengyan stood up and looked at his daughter's eyes full of pride. Yes, their Achu has always been so kind.
"If your hand was injured more seriously, wouldn't there be one less carpenter?"
"Thank you, little lady. Thank you, my boss." Li Mu lowered his head, with tears falling on the ground. The girl in front of him said, "He is a human being."
"Thank you, madam, and thank you, my boss." Everyone else thanked them too.
They are not stupid, and they naturally understand who is good to them and who is not good to them. They know that their boss really cares about them and is not worried about progress.
Moreover, the group of people at the boss really treat them as human beings.
In the past, when working for nobles and nobles, who would care about their safety?
"Okay, Li Mu, is the piece of paper in your hand ready to be printed?" Huang Yueying asked.
"Yes." So, Li Mu put the wooden board up. The content on it was the same as the paper Song Bo had just brought over, except that the corners were cleaner and the content was clearer.
"The straight up and straight down method is to prevent the ink from staining the paper?" Pang Shanmin asked. He also saw Li Mu's movements just now.
"This husband is really smart, indeed." Sun Sui smiled, "We tried to print the first piece of paper this morning. Even though we were very careful, we still inevitably got ink stains on the blank areas of the paper."
"The one that Manager Song gave to the employer was one that we tried to print five times before one was completely clean. In order to solve this problem, we printed the board in Li Mu's hand and changed the direction of printing."
"Congratulations, you succeeded." Huang Yueying smiled.
Ancient craftsmen did not lack the ability to solve problems. In many cases, they just lacked vision because they had never seen it or thought about it.
"It's not done yet. I have to print out all the books given by the little lady. Then I will call it a success." Li Mu said with a smile, but his voice was a little hoarse.
"Okay, it's time to rest." Huang Yueying said helplessly, "The gauze used to wrap the wound must be boiled in boiling water for two quarters of an hour. By the way...Uncle Song!"
"Hey, Second Lady." Song Bo quickly ran in after hearing this.
"Let the doctor take care of Li Mu properly."
"promise!"
After explaining this, Huang Yueying took away a few pieces of paper they had printed, and then took Pang Degong and others around the workshop.
"I never thought that the water-powered mortar would save so much manpower!" Pang Degong was in a good mood when he saw the mortar itself.
"This was designed by my father." Huang Yueying said.
"He is used to this!" Pang Degong laughed.
"This wall is hot!" Pang Shanmin looked at the paper stuck on the wall and was a little surprised, "No wonder it's not as cold inside this workshop as it is outside."
"Yes, it can dry the Chu paper faster, but it should not be too hot, otherwise the paper will easily 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 ten are high-quality paper.
There is one paper, and the rest are medium-sized papers.”
"According to the paper price in Xiangyang, it is more than 50,000 yuan today!" Pang Shanmin stared at Huang Yueying, "Achu... are you robbing money?"
"Brother, didn't you count the labor I had to pay? However, the profit is indeed huge."
"If the book is printed... what will Achu do?" Pang Shanmin then asked the next question.
"Cover it first."
