Zhao Yingong smiled and said: "This is just an Australian secret book. It is very rare even among Australians. I spent a lot of money and a lot of kindness to get one or two copies. There is also a secret book beside me.
It’s been two years and I haven’t seen anything weird, it’s just an ordinary picture album.”
Only then did several people feel relieved. As soon as the fear was eliminated, what was left was Youhuo. The two magazines were circulated in the hands of everyone, making people unable to put them down. Zhang Dai wanted to ask the master to part with him several times.
——He can afford the money, but Mr. Zhao lives a luxurious life and probably doesn't care about this money at all.
After rubbing it for a while, he reluctantly put the pictorial down. Sun Chun kept asking how such a lifelike portrait got onto the piece of paper. Zhao Yingong smiled and said:
"I don't know about this either. But the Australians said at the time: The book "Light Theory for Beginners" that my eldest brother bought contains the method - but it's just a very crude explanation."
"This is Australia's secret technique, how can it be easily written down in a book?" Zhang Dai said. He suddenly remembered something, "Brother Zhao, do you have a telescope here?"
"Telescope?" Zhao Yingong was stunned. Telescopes have not been developed in Lingao - there is a large inventory in the warehouse of the Planning Institute: various models and uses. Almost everyone among the elders has one, domestically produced.
, Russian, East German, German... to name a few.
Because of the large inventory, the Ministry of Science and Technology has not included self-produced telescopes in the work plan. It was not until the first shipbuilding maintenance plan was officially launched and the Navy raised its demand for optical equipment that the Ministry of Science and Technology included the manufacture of simple telescopes in the scientific research plan.
.
"Australians don't sell this thing, but I heard that Australian telescopes are also very good. I just haven't been able to see it."
"That's it." Zhang Dai couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Mi lost a telescope in the West Lake a few days ago. I saw him in despair, and I always wanted to buy a new telescope for him..."
"Hold on—" Zhao Yingong interrupted him, "Could it be that this secret brother is the only one who can use his wisdom to help his father-in-law?"
"Exactly" Zhang Dai said, "Brother, do you know him?"
"Could it be that he has the honorific title of Longmian Fool?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Yingong laughed: "So that's how it is. It's really strange."
He was about to play on the West Lake and saw the dragon boat sailors fish out the telescope from the bottom of the lake. After that, he ordered the boy to get the telescope.
When Zhang Dai took it, he saw that it was the red telescope that Fang Yizhi had always cherished - it was clean and not damaged. He was overjoyed and bowed several times. Zhao Yingong quickly returned the favor.
"It's really the world's affairs that cannot be described." Zhang Dai said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, you have chosen the name of this bookstore well." He immediately said that he would bring Fang Yizhi here in the future.
"He is a person who loves to write books and theories, and is extremely interested in physics. I see that the art and crafts played by Brother Zhao here are a hundred times better than those of Western monks. Brother Mi must like him very much."
"Actually, the science of the telescope is also discussed in "The Theory of Light for Beginners". If you are interested, you can make your own telescope."
Sun Chun said jokingly: "Is there such a thing? Mi Zhi will probably go crazy with joy after seeing these two things."
"My little brother has admired the name of Mi's brother for a long time. If he comes, he will walk backwards to welcome him."
This intercourse made the relationship between them suddenly improve a lot, and Zhang Dai asked if he could get some more magazines to read.
"I have gained very little from such a secret collection of picture albums, but I do have a few Australian picture albums. Although they are not so lifelike, they are still worth a look."
"Oh? This is going to be annoying." Several people suddenly became interested.
Zhao Yingong smiled slightly - of course this kind of modern color-printed pictorials cannot be sold. Except for a few h pictorials purchased from someone's luggage in order to open up the situation in Guangzhou in the early years, the only physical pictorials in the big library are The ones salvaged from Lando's sunken ship. Don't look at the pictorials as productivity. Such color-printed pictorials are simply not what Lingao's technology can currently achieve. It means using only one book, one less book, and it is considered Level 2 on the Planning Institute's form. Control materials.
Therefore, Zhou Dongtian had already developed products that could be replaced by the technical capabilities of this time and space. Zhao Yingong called his personal servant Jiying and gave a few instructions. After a while, Jiying brought several letters over and placed them one by one. On the table in front of the window.
Zhao Yingong smiled and said: "Everyone, please take a look."
Zhang Dai and others could not hold back their curiosity for a long time and gathered around. They saw that the letter was made of fine fine wood with original color. There were simple patterns drawn on the surface of the box and the title of the book was inscribed: "Prison China" ", "Li Huo Luo", "Si Chunnv" and "Xiao Lin Guang Ji"
Judging from the box itself and the strange title, there is nothing special about it. With a secret smile on his lips, Zhao Yingong opened the letter, but the book inside opened to the left. The cover was also very simple. Zhang Dai took one He flipped through a few pages and said with a smile: "What a wonderful book and full of life."
Sun Chun was very curious, so he took out a book and took a look. However, it was not the brightly colored pages like the living people just now, but the patterns drawn with black lines and white.
The paintings above are all handsome men and beautiful women, with beautiful looks. If you look closely, it turns out that what is painted is the love story of Long Yang. The depiction is so exquisite that even Zhang Hou and Taoist mother are ashamed of themselves.
In the late Ming Dynasty, scholar-officials were generally fond of child molestation. Although Sun Chun did not like this, he did not take it seriously. He only thought that the painting was exquisite, and the characters' movements, appearance and even sexual intercourse were all extremely detailed, and even their expressions were exquisite. It is very expressive, much better than the Chun Palace picture albums and fire avoidance pictures that we often see in daily life.
After flipping through a few pages, it turned out that this picture album was not just a page from Chun Palace, but a complete story. Although the characters and environment in the story were completely unfamiliar to him. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Australians are so good at Long Yang." It’s also outstanding”
Zhang Dai put down the "China in Prison" in his hand. He boasted that he was well-informed, but he didn't expect that this Australian album, which was completely hand-drawn and line-drawing, was so expressive that it almost gave him blood. A sense of excitement - although there are some expression techniques and characters that he can't adapt to at the moment, the level contained in them is unquestionable. Putting aside the beautiful and vivid characters and actions, the story itself is also very attractive. .
Let's look at the next book "Si Chunnv", but it is a picture album of ordinary **nv love. At a quick glance, I feel that the painting style is slightly different from "Prison China" and "Lihuo Luo", but the plot is rich and the drawings are
The beauty of the painting and the variety of colors are no less than those of its predecessors.
"What a wonderful book," Sun Chun said. Wen Huai always prided himself on Taoism. Seeing that these sets were chun palace albums, he picked up "Xiao Lin Guang Ji" - it doesn't necessarily mean that "Xiao Lin Guang Ji" is also chun palace.
.
Although it is not a chun palace, it is still such a picture album. The characters are all abrupt and funny. This is the first time Wen Huai has seen such a "Xiao Lin Guang Ji". After reading a few pages, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"The real wonder book is here"
Several people walked around and looked at it for a while. Several sets of books were sold out - of course they were worth a lot of money. Zhao Yingong's original intention was not to simply sell books, but mainly to win over this group of Confucian scholars. At that moment, someone else sent them.
With carefully made snacks and candies shipped from Lingao, the guests and hosts left happily.
After seeing off Zhang Dai and Sun Chun's entourage, Zhao Yingong was still excited - not only hooking up with Zhang Dai, but also hooked up with Fang Yizhi. Fushe, a group with a huge say in the southern half of the Yangtze River, has already been
He opened a small door, which would be of great benefit to his future work.
Back in the printing workshop at the back, Zhou Dongtian was leading apprentices to teach the essentials of lithography. These apprentices were recently recruited from Nanjing and had a certain foundation in drawing and stereotypes, making it easier to teach them. Zhou Dongtian was not worried about their mastery.
You need to understand the technology to change jobs - as long as you control the coatings and inks used in lithographic printing, you can't do it just by knowing the principles and techniques.
The few books that Zhao Yingong sold just now were printed on stone tablets by Zhou Dongtian. As for the original books, except for "Long Yangxue" and "Prison China" were provided by the Taoist priest, the others were all from big books.
The library’s electronic data.
Lithographic printing is more difficult than imagined, mainly in the production of base coatings, inks and corrosives. It took a long time to find suitable formulas and substitutes.
There was a debate in the Great Library about the topic of printed comics. The Great Library collected a wide variety of H-comics, including a large number of very strong tastes. Because the 17th century was a century where the concept of human rights did not exist, so in the end most of them
The comics were not selected, leaving only those with relatively pure love and more normal content as topics.
The selected comic manuscripts were modified to a certain extent by veterans of the Great Library to ensure that there was no inappropriate content - the storylines are purely fictional. Even if they are modern, they are Australian stories.
.I originally planned to pirate the entire series of Cai Zhizhong's works this winter. Later, someone suggested that some comics related to Confucianism should not be printed temporarily - the Analects of Confucius and other related Confucian classics. Maybe there is a fake Taoist gentleman who will come to cause trouble and lure the father-in-law out.
It is better to do less than to do more. It is better not to sell it at all.
Now Zhou Dongtian and his apprentice are drawing another comic "Zen Shuo" by Cai Zhizhong - he knows that once he leaves, the printing technology will probably decline, so he has to take advantage of his time to give Lao Zhao Nong as much as possible
Some books. He also considered whether to engrave all comic books - after all, the number of stone plates was very small.
"Is there really no problem with the trilogy of sculptures you sold to Zhang Dai?" Zhou Dongtian asked with a smile when he saw him coming in.
"Didn't the Truth Office of the Great Library review it? Zhu Baba became Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang became Fang Guozhen, and Chang Yuchun became Zhang Dingbian. Isn't this a taboo?"
"It's still very problematic. I'm afraid Ming Dynasty doesn't like to see the relationship between Mingjiao and Ming Dynasty."
