"Paper doesn't cost much. It's just that the takeout price is high. In fact, we all know how much it costs. I will manufacture it on a large scale to reduce the cost. Besides, it will be expensive every ten to fifteen days." Chen Xi didn't react.
He looked at Liu Yan with a strange look on his face and said.
"It's not a paper problem, it's a printing problem. We print a batch in ten days, is it possible that we just ask the craftsmen to carve a batch? This is Dibao, and it's not a once or twice thing." Liu Yan looked helpless.
Said, Chen Xi is really out of his mind sometimes.
Chen Xi was stunned, and suddenly realized that what Liu Yan said made sense. This was really a trap, because it was the Times. After using this wave of boards, there would definitely not be another one in the future. He could only throw it away directly, but in
It seems that engraving woodblocks in a short time is not that easy.
Not to mention the waste, the main problem is whether it can be carved out. Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt a little entangled.
"Then we really have to use movable type." Chen Xi said with a twitch in the corner of his mouth.
I have never used movable type printing before. The reason is that for those collections of classics and history that are printed in large quantities, it is easier to engrave them, and if you print one edition, you can just use it next time.
As a result, it seems that I can only use movable type this time, but the disadvantages of movable type are also huge.
"Moveable type?" Liu Yan looked at Chen Xi in confusion, thinking that he was indeed Chen Zichuan. Except when his mind was not online, he was indeed very reliable at other times.
So Chen Xi opened his mouth to explain. After listening, Liu Yan's brows twitched, "Although it's not a good idea, and the ink needs to be improved, it's still okay."
Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. It was true. The situation in the Central Plains was destined to be unsuitable for movable type printing. The use of movable type printing was too complicated and it was easy to make mistakes.
It is true that engravings will also have this problem, but once the engravings are made once, there is no need for a second time. Movable type printing has so-called advantages when printing thousands of copies. To be honest, in ancient times, it was basically possible to print thousands of copies.
It is a heritage-level classic.
Just find a professional engraver to carve out the charm of the original text, and then print it out one edition at a time. Isn’t it any better than your movable type? And as long as the edition is there, it can be used at any time and handed down to the world.
The classics do not need to be revised at all.
What's more, engraving can completely copy the handwriting and charm of the writer at that time. Although it is of no use, if you really want to say it, it does help to understand the mentality of the writer when he wrote.
In addition, there are actually thousands of commonly used Chinese characters. If you use movable type, some characters will appear repeatedly. If you arrange each character one by one, you will need a lot of characters. If you use manual type, the error rate is not low.
So much so that movable type is also a trap.
However, if you want to open a newspaper, engraving is too difficult, and copying it by hand is even more difficult. Let's just use movable type. When the time comes, just find a professional engraver to make a universal version with full text.
[Well, raise the banner of movable type printing, unify all writing in the Central Plains, and get rid of the variant characters.] Chen Xi comforted himself with the idea of enjoying the hardships.
"Let's make do with it. If it doesn't work, find someone to improve it. I don't have any good solution for this." Chen Xi said helplessly. He had nothing to say in this aspect.
Printing is very easy to use, and movable type printing is enough to be called a classic invention that changed the world. However, movable type printing was not prepared for a civilization like China that commonly used thousands of characters. Instead, it was prepared for twenty-six letters.
of.
In short, the technology of movable type printing was a trap for the Han Dynasty, but Chen Xi didn't have any good solutions for this. Even if this thing was a sinkhole, it cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and now he had to go up.
After all, in terms of real-time updates of news, it is better than using engravings directly.
"It's still a way. I'll go back and find a group of people to find a solution." Liu Yan guessed that Chen Xi had tried his best, so he didn't continue to ask. What's more, Liu Yan has been used to asking friends when he has problems over the years.
Besides, Liu Yan has almost friends all over the world now. With so many friends, there are always one or two who can help.
"I'll leave this to you later. When the time comes, we will publish an edition and talk more about the land we have there, our support for relocation, what policies we have, and external expansion. The core is to let the people feel our power." Chen Xi also said
There is no good way, I can only deal with it this way.
"This is no problem, but this will increase the workload of local officials." Liu Yan frowned and said, "Although it is hard to leave my hometown, but like..."
As he was talking, Liu Yan turned to look at Guo Si among the generals. Li You had all gone south. He had promised to take Guo Si with him, but as soon as he went there, Guo Si said the wrong thing, directly exposing himself as a
After rebelling against the traitors, Li You was furious and sent Guo Si back to Jia Xu as his bodyguard.
In fact, Jia Xu really wanted to say that if you dumped such a big bag on me, you really thought I was a recycling bin.
However, when he was just sent back, Guo Bang, who probably knew that he was in trouble, was very well-behaved. He basically didn't speak and pretended to be a guard. However, this kind of obedience was exposed within a few days. There was no way, this group of people
Many of them knew Guo Si.
Of course, when Li You was here before, although some people knew Guo Si, at that time, including Sun Quan, they were all thieves and thieves. They were all smart people who saw through things without telling them. They also knew how to read the atmosphere.
Will be stupid.
Later, when Lu Bu was having a campfire barbecue again, he saw Guo Si. He greeted Guo Si expressionlessly and cut a piece of meat for him. He said that Diao Chan taught him this.
Anyway, Lu Bu doesn't know how to fight a ferocious beast with internal energy separated from the body. Lu Bu concocts and cooks it. After it's cooked, he cuts a few pieces and gives one to each of those who have fought with him. There is no need.
It is enough to speak and cut it for you with my own hands.
According to the results of Diao Chan's repeated questioning of Lu Bu, it was finally determined that Lu Bu did not have any big enemies. Those who had hatred, well, according to Lu Bu's words, he had basically ended them on the spot. The rest could not be ended, and it was mostly a matter of face.
, so it is not difficult to solve the problem of one person and one piece of meat.
Guo Bang pretended to be a guard at the time, but Lu Bu knew the Xiliang Three Fools, and they had a lot of fights. Even for Lu Bu, those sick-brained guys from Xiliang left a worse impression on him than the others.
It was so profound that Lu Bu also cut a piece for Guo Si.
Guo Bang didn't think much about it and ate it cursingly. The question is, the others are not blind. Whose guard is so tough that he can actually share a plate of meat from Lu Bu's hand? Of course he is interested in this question, so he asks, which one?
Just ask, and you will soon know, oh, Guo Si, Marquis of Meiyang.
Although many people know that Guo Si's combat effectiveness is rubbish, he can't stand up to the fierce Xiliang cavalry. There are two different things when a general brags. Personal strength and legionary strength. The former Guo Si is not good at, and the latter Guo Si boasts. Naturally, after this guy is exposed, basically
They even said hello to Guo Si.
Naturally, Guo Bang also exposed a lot of things with his big mouth. For example, let's play, let's divide the fields. Each family has 3,000 acres of land, and 500 acres are free of tax.
Anyway, Congling, which is the place in Kazakhstan in later generations, was a vast land with sparsely populated areas at this time. Although it was not a very good land, there were large tracts of grass, not to mention that Guo Si’s big mouth directly led to hundreds of acres of land.
There are many acres of land for farming.
The group of generals were stunned for a while, especially since Guo Si had indeed made many great achievements after going abroad. Why did he lead people to mediate the melee of the Three Kingdoms? Fight the three countries together, and then occupy the royal city of one of the countries to farm on the spot.
.
This made a group of military generals excited. At this time in the Han Dynasty, there was no argument that it was wrong to do so. The foreign policy was simply wild, so a group of people felt happy.
After all, Guo Si had the goods. He had piles of achievements on the Roman-Parthian battlefield, and Sun Quan supplemented them from the side. The group of people listened with excitement, and even the civil servants were a little moved.
So many people think that it is a good thing to release those guys like Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou who are a disaster if they stay in the country. Just like Dou Xian, a little master who committed suicide before, and Huo Qubing, a tyrant in Chang'an, they can only do it if they stay in the country.
Make everyone sick, throw it out to harm others, and everyone will be happy.
In the end, even Taishi Ci couldn't help it and started to talk about how he destroyed several countries in Shenxiang and finally established a dependent country.
The bragging about the actual records of both sides made a group of people dizzy. Then they looked at their own records and suddenly found that no one could take action. They suddenly felt a sense of inferiority. Looking at the spittle flying by others, feelings were not so important in the civil war before.
The guys who showed up were all going to make big news. It turned out that our group was behind the times.
He was able to mediate three kingdoms and easily destroy one. The reputation of Marquis Meiyang was enough to frighten the kingdoms of the Western Regions.
The sun destroyed the five countries, and with one word, all the subordinate countries were determined, and they were called Mahakala Demon God!
A massive melee of hundreds of thousands of elites, military souls, three talents surging like the sea, rain of arrows like locusts, all kinds of magic, even elite talents that can be called heaven-defying, Central Plains, tut tut tut.
You bunch of thick-eyed bastards betrayed our revolutionary friendship like this. You came up to destroy the country, to overwhelm other countries, and to engage in super-standard wars. How can we deal with this?
So that most of the military generals who have never been abroad silently watched the group of military generals who had been abroad bragging, and then secretly felt cruel in their hearts, waiting for me to go out and come back to blow you to death. Didn't I just fight in the national war and participate in it?
Have you ever experienced an empire-level war?
Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Xiu, Le Jin and others all cursed secretly in their hearts while looking enviously at the group of people who had gone out to fight. Regardless of the outcome, they at least had something to talk about and brag about in front of others.
As for the civil servants, the civil servants actually couldn't stand it anymore. The generals' painting style was different from theirs. What's more, they could only listen to the news about their achievements.
