Chapter 35 Movable Type Printing
Wang Heng said: "Okay, the three words Wenhou Gua are printed on the front of the bag, and this story is the back of the bag. I will arrange the carving master now."
"Cornated plate?" Lu Bu asked.
"Yes, how to print without carvings."
"Take a book and take a look, and suddenly I remembered something very important," said Lu Bu.
"Okay, okay, let's take your lord there."
The printing house under the Logistics Department is just a big house, full of the smell of ink. Whenever the government has any government orders to be printed, the carving master will carve it on the material board. The next time the material board will be difficult to use and will be re-carved.
"General." The carving master saw that Lu Bu came and quickly stood up and saluted.
Lu Bu looked at the carved plate and said, "I will suddenly think of a solution. Can you try it? Is it feasible? You can make a square with common characters, and when you need to use them, fix these square characters on a wooden board so that they can be used again and again. Wouldn't that be great?"
The carving worker is a literati and is very familiar with the significance of printing.
Immediately, he knelt down and said, "Wen Hou is really a celestial being. This method is extremely exquisite."
Wang Heng was also very surprised and said, "My lord is such a good method. Once successful, the cost can be greatly reduced. At that time, a large number of books are printed are of great benefit to cultural heritage."
"This will only propose a method, and the specific ones need to be studied by craftsmen. You can use movable type in wood, or use soil to make movable type and then burn it hard. Wang Heng allocated 50 jin of money as research funding," said Lu Bu.
Wang Heng felt a pain and said, "Money and food are hard to come by. If you can save, you can save it. Please adjust ten chunks. If you don't have enough, you will add it."
A kindness does not control the army, and a righteousness does not control the wealth. A stingy person like Wang Heng is suitable for managing logistics.
The carving worker said, "It doesn't cost so much. The villain loves to burn kilns, and the earth-moving type cannot make me suffer. The villain first experiments one after another, and then report it to the master when it is successful."
Lu Bu patted the carpenter's shoulder and said, "If you successfully study movable type printing, your salary will double and let you be the supervisor of the printing workshop."
"Thank you, General." The carving said gratefully.
Of course, the most urgent thing is to print out the packaging bag of Wen Hougua first, because it will be used in a few days.
I have to say that the carving is still great, because there are not many words, and the two workers finished carving in an afternoon.
Then there was a printing paper bag.
Just when Lu Bu was busy training troops and releasing food.
Liu Bei in the northwest corner of Xuzhou was also urging Xiaopei to teach farming and farming, grow grain and weave cloth.
Liu Bei likes to cry and often brings together some wealthy and small families to make everyone pay attention to the development of food and say how difficult it is. As he talks, his eyes turn red and tears fall like beads with broken threads.
At noon that day, Liu Bei discussed matters in the hall.
First, I listened to reports from all aspects, mainly about military farming and military training.
Then Mi Zhu said: "Lord, Lu Bu opens a porridge shed in the four gates of Xuzhou, and distributes porridge every day. He opened a warehouse and released grain a few days ago. This is a great disadvantage for us. Once Lu Bu gained a foothold in Xuzhou, it will be difficult for us to grab it back."
"Oh, what happened? Feng Xian had no plans. It must be Chen Gong's idea. What do you think?" Liu Bei touched his beard and said.
Guan Yu's face was like a heavy date, holding a big donkey's face, squinted his eyes, and thought to himself, shouldn't the third brother be the first to stand up at this time? The third brother should say: I want to stab him ten thousand holes in the three-name slave.
Zhang Fei didn't say anything, Guan Yu clasped his fists and said, "Brother, Wen Hou's move is intended to be the people's hearts. This is to compete with the big brother for the people's hearts."
Sun Gan said: "Don't disturb the clouds. Lu Bu is greedy for money and lust, brave but not scheming, capricious, and stubborn. With Xuzhou's financial resources, he is just a gesture of giving up food and messing with the people, and it will definitely not last long. Lu Bu is not worth worrying about. What we really have to worry about is Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. It is rumored that Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal of the country, and I am afraid that he would be the emperor in recent years."
Jian Yong said: "Lu Bu's head was hot and obeyed for a while, and it would not last long. Besides, Xuzhou's food and grass were limited, so they could not recruit soldiers if they gave them to the people, which was still very beneficial to us. Lu Bu is a man who is very good at making plans and likes to listen to good things. The lord might as well write a letter to Lu Bu and praise his love for the people. He would give more food when he received the letter, so that he could delay his recruitment speed."
Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "It makes sense, I will write it in a while. I will feel relieved after you say this. Lu Bu's failure is the most beneficial to us. Once Lu Bu wins over the people's hearts and trains to strengthen the army, our Xiaopei will not be able to save us."
Sun Gan said: "The most important thing in front of you is how to deal with Yuan Shu. Since he wants to be emperor, he must expand his territory. Although Xiaopei is in a small place, he has a large population and has always been remembered by Yuan Shu.
Zhang Fei cursed: "Yuan Shu, a yellow-mouthed child, is worthy of being emperor. He really doesn't know what it means. I will catch him for tens of thousands of holes."
Liu Bei said: "Sister third brother, don't be impatient. What's the matter when I heard you lost more than a dozen carriages a few days ago?"
When Zhang Fei saw that the dish was bad and was about to reveal the stuff, he glared and cursed: "Those incompetent subordinates went out of the city to pull some wood. When they went to a remote place, they encountered bandits. They were few and had their carriages robbed by bandits. I had already slapped them hard, and they would definitely be taken back when they met bandits another day."
Liu Bei said: "The third brother should cherish his soldiers. Since he was robbed by a bandit, it would be fine. Don't whip the soldiers again."
"I understand." Zhang Fei said reluctantly.
Liu Bei has a small territory and a large number of people. He has managed Xiaopei very well and eliminated all the thieves. In the short term, he has achieved the scene of not closing his door at night, which is also a blessing for the people.
Besides, Lu Bu got up early and urged the soldiers to train in the camp. After having breakfast, he rushed back home.
Yan was very happy and said, "The general is back. A fishmonger just happened to send you a good loach a few days ago. It just happened to make you a loach stewed tofu."
Lu Bu said: "Okay, then you can arrange the kitchen to do it. I will be busy in the back garden."
Cao and Diao Chan also came and greeted each other.
Lu Bu carried an iron pickaxe and brought dozens of personal soldiers into the backyard.
Yan asked: "General, what are you doing?"
Lu Bu said: "Don't you always say that I have plowed other people's land and left my own fields? Today I will be plowing all my own fields, and all the dozens of acres of land in the backyard are used to grow vegetables."
The three ladies opened their mouths wide in surprise.
Mrs. Yan glared at Diao Chan and said, "I know you are talking about it."
"My wife calms down, I don't know that the general will understand this way."
