Chapter XXXVII
The old master still made a note, and his face was humiliated as if he had signed a traitorous treaty.
Li Su has nothing to bear, maybe this era is based on integrity, people are very simple, and big things are said orally to count, but Li Su is different, he respects the contract very much, and he still has a sense of security when he writes down everything in black and white.
After making the note, Li Sucai told the master the mystery of movable type printing, and the master gradually became surprised from the initial confusion, and finally his face quickly flushed, and he was so excited that his beard trembled.
"That's good stuff! Good stuff! How many scholars have benefited our Datang, the merit of the son is immeasurable, the merit is immeasurable, and the readers of the Tang Dynasty will have to set up an immortal tablet for the son in the future......"
After speaking, the master rushed out.
Li Su grabbed his arm: "What does the old gentleman want?" โ
"Give this to the government ......"
Li Su: "............"
How important it is to make a contract, Li Su was shocked into a cold sweat of fear.
took out the note that had just been set up and shook it vigorously in front of the master's eyes, Li Su gritted his teeth and said: "The old gentleman can see clearly, as long as you hear a trace of wind and grass about this thing outside, you will have to take a lawsuit and sue you to the official office." โ
The old master woke up from his excitement, and then a trace of shame flashed on his old face, and he hurriedly apologized.
"If the prince dedicates this thing to the government, the government will have a generous reward, and the son will become famous all over the world from now on, why bother to cherish the broom?" The old master was still unwilling to persuade.
"What am I going to do to make a name for myself? It's a muffled money, don't be nosy, just engrave the words on it. โ
The old master stopped talking, and only glanced at Li Su, his eyes seemed to be looking at a madman, obviously his values were very conflicting with Li Su's values.
Li Su replied with a warm smile, cute.
*******************************************************
Ten days later, Li Su entered the city again.
This time is to accept the results, the master's carving is very good, thousands of commonly used Chinese characters, the master and his apprentices carved in a few days, the font is a standard italics, each word is carved very standard.
Li Su was overjoyed, holding a handful of square lead characters in his hand and carefully examining them, and the old master sat on the side proudly brushing his beard, obviously very confident in his kung fu.
The price is not cheap, it costs more than two dollars to ask the master to carve words, but the money is worth it, and Li Su gave the money very happily.
When he and the Wang brothers walked out carrying the lead mold, they were stopped by a person.
A very polite person, wearing a silk robe, with a smile on his lips, kept apologizing after stopping Li Su and the others.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm blocking the way of your guests, and I'm abrupt."
Li Su raised his eyebrows: "Something?" โ
"In the lower view, although the three distinguished guests are young, they exude a rich and noble atmosphere from the inside out, generous, heroic, and handsome**, gentle and elegant......"
"Stop!"
This man boasted like a river, and his face remained unchanged when he said words with a clear conscience, and the Wang brothers listened to it with their eyebrows fluttering, and looked at him with a kind of Maxima looking at Bole.
Li Su glanced at them sideways and said to the man: "Handsome ** or something, just say it to me directly, don't involve irrelevant people, otherwise it won't sound sincere." โ
The man smiled, not embarrassed, and said, "This distinguished guest, what you ordered in the small shop a few days ago, Master Yu made it for you, are you still satisfied?" โ
Li Su nodded: "The old master has good sword skills." โ
The man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, although you and Master Yu have made a note, but he is the master carver invited by the store, and he is the shopkeeper of the store. โ
"Of course."
The more anxious the man's expression became: "The thirty-year-old signboard of our store, three or four out of ten readers in Chang'an City are buying paper and pens in our store, if you want to use it to print books, our store is willing to cooperate with your guests, I don't know what your guests want?" โ
Li Su's heart suddenly bloomed, this is a pillow sent by dozing.
"I'm not interested, goodbye!"
After Li Su finished speaking, he walked away, the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and after a pause, he hurriedly stopped him again, looking a little anxious.
"Distinguished guest, everything is easy to discuss, easy to discuss!"
Enough hypocrisy, Li Su stopped and looked at him: "How to divide the profits?" โ
"Four-six, I'm four, you're six......"
"Fortunately, I will be fortunate to say goodbye."
"Sanqi! Sanqi! I'm three you seven, distinguished guest, it's better to be cooked than to be raw, as long as this thing is in this store, under the promise never to leak secrets, you find outsiders to do this business, it is easy to leak the key to it, at that time the whole Chang'an is a group of imitations, this thing will drop the price. โ
Li Su sighed, this shopkeeper is very good at talking, these words just spoke to his heart, he was also worried that movable type printing would be imitated, this was originally a very simple thing, and those who didn't know it felt mysterious and worthless.
"I'm seven and you're three, it's decided, and there are ......"
The shopkeeper's face was clear, and he said: "Make a note, and the secret recipe will be leaked and I will be sent to see the official." โ
Li Su suddenly had a good impression of him, I don't know if he has a daughter in his family, if he does, he will simply marry her, and the whole store will be his own in the future, what four six, what three seven, all are floating clouds......

There is a myth quietly circulating in Chang'an City.
Yes, it's a myth.
A study shop in the west of the city to undertake the printing business, any book to take the past, printed within two days, the handwriting is clear, the paper is fragrant, whether the typesetting or the font is superior, what is more rare is the price is fair.
Publishing a book has been a literati's dream for 2,000 years, and what could be happier than watching their academic achievements printed into a book and widely circulated among the people?
Very mysterious study shop, nowadays the printing of books are all asked to carve on the woodblock master carving, a page of the book often has to be carved for a whole day, a book can not be completed in two or three months, but this study shop was printed in two days, it is really a miracle.
The literati of Chang'an City went from disbelief at first, to curiosity, and finally to try it for themselves......
It's boiling, at least the literati circle in Chang'an City is boiling.
Within a few days, the shop was full of people, and countless literati flocked to it.
It was not only the literati who entered the store, but also many peers, who asked why the store printed books so quickly, and the shopkeeper just smiled, and his smile was full of sรจ, but he didn't say anything.
