Chapter 160: The Transmission of Knowledge
Originally, I had nothing to tell Li Yuan about relieving his boredom, but I didn't expect Li Yuan to quickly become addicted. www.biquge.info The strength of Mr. Luo Guanzhong is strong, and a wave of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms spreads like a wildfire in the Jinyang Left-behind Mansion.
At first, Li Yuan listened alone, but when it came to the Ten Constant Servants killing He Jin, Li Er came in. said that his father was sick and had no one to take care of him, and he wanted to do his filial piety. Within two days, Chai Shao also came over. When Li Xiaosan and Li Xiaosi drilled their brains to look at the window, Li Yuan moved the place from the study to the front hall.
Yun Hao stood behind the desk, covered with a cloth under the table in front of him. There are all kinds of fans and waking wood Yuzi, and there are no towels in these years, but the careful eldest grandson found a snow-white cotton cloth instead. As a contributor to the white cloth, she has a seat next to Li Er. Behind her, sat the eldest grandson Wuji, whose face was blue and purple. After this frostbite, although the frostbite on the face was cured, it left some sequelae. Lao Sun said that this symptom will disappear automatically after three to five years!
"Smack......!" Xingmu patted, Yun Hao stood behind the table, and he was short of robes.
said, "Guan Yunchang thanked Cao Cao for the glass of wine, and went straight to the front of the two armies with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and shouted: Come and get your name out!" ”
The amateur cultural life of the Great Sui Dynasty was boring, even for the aristocracy. The Li family has this kind of show, which naturally attracts many people. Due to the warm relationship between Li Yuan and Yang Guang, Gao Junya and Wang Wei visited the house from time to time. It's just that every time I rush to Yun Hao to talk about the book, I don't leave. As long as Yun Hao didn't finish speaking, the buttocks of the two brothers stuck to the chair like glue.
It's not just the nobles who feel bored, but also the servants. The servants who served in the hall began to spread quietly, and then to the people of the market. It wasn't until the entire Jinyang was talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Yun Hao wanted to cry without tears. How can the copyright fee of the damn Lao Tzu be calculated......!
Retribution! In my previous life, I read novels on the starting point Chinese network and read pirated copies, and now I am pirated by others, and I can only knock out my teeth and swallow them in my stomach.
Seeing pirated copies all over the world, Yun Hao didn't have the heart to tell a story for a few days. But thinking about Mr. Luo Guanzhong, Yun Hao's mood immediately improved.
Taizu said that sticks can't defeat the laws of economy. Yun Hao, who has a highly developed economic mind, immediately thought of a way to make money as soon as his eyes rolled. Of course, you will choke to death if you eat alone. Yun Hao naturally found a reliable partner, Chai Shao and Li Er.
"What? You want to print "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into a book and sell it everywhere in the Great Sui? Chai Shao's eyes widened, looking at Yun Hao as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong with that?" Yun Hao was a little puzzled, he had read a lot of books in his previous life. I also saw the comic strip of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is very attractive with pictures and texts. The existence of villain books has greatly enriched my childhood.
"Ahem......! Do you know how much a piece of Yang plate costs? Even if it is a negative engraving, it takes a lot of money to print a Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Not to mention, the pictures and texts you want to print. Li Er spoke, in the end, Yun Hao is still young. Thinking about it is a big thing, printing a book. That had to cost the old nose manpower, material and financial resources, and Yun Hao talked about it for more than three months. only talked about Zhuge Kongming's tongue and war group Confucianism, and it is said that he can talk about it for a year later. If you want to print such a book, I'm afraid you have to empty the treasury of the Great Sui.
Yun Hao patted his head, this year, there is computer typesetting, and even copperplate printing is also wood. All books are engraved with yin and yang, and a skilled craftsman can only engrave one plate a day. If he really wants to carve out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yun Hao is afraid that he will have to borrow another five hundred years from the sky.
"That's it! I don't know how you got into the money eye at a young age and thought of such a way to make money. Hehe! Li Er immediately laughed when he saw Yun Hao scratching his ears and cheeks. This kid is shrewd like a monkey, and there are really not many times when he can be deflated. Li Er and Chai Shao glanced at each other, they both liked to see Yun Hao deflated.
They didn't have to laugh, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had a messy face, smiled like a yaksha. Yun Hao kicked the eldest grandson Wuji in disgust, this guy seemed to have been infected by Hou Junji. He was not angry when he was kicked by Yun Hao, and God was watching Yun Hao jump his feet like a monkey.
"You mean, the so-called difficulty lies in engraving?" Yun Hao looked at the three people who were laughing and were about to convuls, and asked very seriously.
"Yes, it's engraving. If you kid wants to make money, don't be a moth. Or obediently compile the following book, so that we are happy to listen to it. Chai Shao stopped laughing and said to Yun Hao.
"If the boy can solve the problem of typesetting, then there will be no problem in publishing books?" Yun Hao looked at the three guys and asked, the publishing industry is almost zero in this era. Thinking that he was going to become the originator of the world's publishing industry, Yun Hao's heart was hot when he thought about it. The first in this world, Lao Tzu should be decided.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......!" Li Er laughed violently just now, but now he was in too much of a hurry, obviously choking, coughing and his face was flushed.
"You say you can solve the engraving problem?" Chai Shao stopped laughing and looked at Yun Hao. I've seen Yun Hao's serious appearance before, as long as he gets serious. At the moment, there is nothing he can't solve.
"Hmm!" Yun Hao nodded. walked to the desk and stretched out his hand to Li Eryi.
"What!" Li Er wondered.
"The second master will use the private seal to Yun Hao, as well as the Chai officials." This year, the menstrual documents must be signed and drawn, and people with identity naturally cannot poke everywhere with their fingers. Personal seals, most of which are carried with you. If you need to sign and draw a seal, it is very stylish to take out a valuable seal. Dipping it in ink and covering it on the paper, his face was full of pride and pride.
Li Er and Chai Shao suspiciously handed their private seals to Yun Hao, only to see Yun Hao tie Chai Shao and Li Er's private seals together with a small rope. Dip it in the ink and cover it twice on the paper. looked up at Li Er and Chai Shao, who were confused, and then covered them twice.
Tian Khan and General Zhenguo were naturally not stupid, when Yun Hao covered the third time. Chai Shao's eyes suddenly lit up, and Li Er next to him moved faster. He pulled Yun Hao over and carefully studied Yun Hao's head. I have the urge to split!
"How does this kid's head grow, such a simple thing. For hundreds of years, no one thought that everyone was stupid about the engraving. "Li Er's eyes are not X-ray machines, so naturally he can't study the reason.
"There are only a few Chinese characters, except for rare characters. In fact, there are fewer commonly used words, as long as the same size is carved out of wood. If you want to print any book, you have a problem. Moreover, these fonts can be reused. If it is properly maintained, the word mold made of hardwood will have a little problem with ten or eight years. "The movable type printing uses clay fan, but Yun Hao thinks that the clay fan will have to be fired after it is manufactured. It is far inferior to carving movable type on wood directly, and the craftsman is ready-made anyway. As long as the characters are carved, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should be printed.
"This can be done!" Compared with carving pieces of engraving, making 10,000 wooden movable types is not a big problem. As long as you recruit enough craftsmen, it will be almost completed in a month or two. With the current financial resources of the Li family and the Yun family, there is definitely a little bit of a problem.
Yun Hao smiled sheepishly, and he seemed to see mountains of copper coins in front of him.
Books have always been monopolized by the big families, and the reason for this is because books are expensive. Especially during the Wuhu Rebellion, after some precious engravings were destroyed. Many books have become unique books! Not to mention ordinary people, even if they are the children of the big family, it is rare to see them in leisure. A lot of knowledge has since disappeared into the long river of history. For example, Hua Tuo's prescription for boiling hemp.
The inheritance of human civilization is very important in accumulation. A lot of things have been studied on the basis of the experience of previous people. Books, as the inheritance of knowledge and civilization, must not be so expensive. Yun Hao feels that he has made a great contribution to human development, but it is a pity that this year seems to have a Nobel Prize.
Just do it, Li Er and Chai Shao found someone to be busy carving movable type. Yun Hao is at home, telling the story. Then Zhang Miaoke recorded it and compiled it into a book. In fact, this job should be done by Yun Hao, but unfortunately Yun Hao's two words are really not flattering. Li Er's evaluation once is that the slush claw!
I don't know how many years Zhang Miaoke has worked calligraphy, and his handwriting is beautiful and dignified. It was rare that the size was still the same, and Yun Hao endured it for a long time before he resisted the urge to frame it and hang it on the wall.
If you use such wallpaper, Zhang Miaoke, who has a sore wrist, will play with Yun Hao.
In just one month, the movable type was carved out of wood. There's a room, and I don't know how. Yun Hao picked up more than a dozen pieces of wooden movable type and stacked them into a stack, and almost the wood found errors. For the craftsman spirit of the ancients, Yun Hao has a new understanding. At Yun Hao's insistence, Li Er increased the wages of those craftsmen.
The head of the craftsman held the silver coin, and tears of emotion were pouring out. bowed to Yun Hao, claiming that as long as the Yun family made it, he didn't care.
As an engraving craftsman, in fact, the treatment is not bad. Although it can't catch up with the aristocracy, it is still better than the average people after getting paid. The reason why Yun Hao is so grateful is because Yun Hao respects their work. Many times, it is not money that the craftsman needs, but this respect for the craft.
The movable type was done, and the carver himself created a model frame. Wooden movable type is placed inside and then clamped. Apply ink to the top and press lightly on the paper. Everyone's heads poked out, and their eyes widened. After the wooden movable type left the paper, Yun Hao jumped up all of a sudden, and it was done!!
With wooden type, work will naturally be much faster. Someone is in charge of typesetting, someone is in charge of ink. Someone is in charge of proofreading and someone is in charge of binding. The assembly line operation method of later generations was drummed out by Yunhao, which greatly improved the production efficiency. The workers worked in three shifts, resting without stopping. In less than three days, the first volume of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was printed. Of course, this first volume only talks about the Tiger Prison Pass and the Three Heroes Battle of Lu Bu.
Yun Hao looked at the book sprayed with the scent of ink with some regret, and still didn't feel like a villain book. I miss that illustrated time so much! The villain book carries the happy childhood of a generation.
As soon as the 1,000 copies of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were released, they were snapped up by guys who heard the news quickly. What is this, this is the book. actually only sells for ten dollars, which is a free gift. Although I don't know the gods and horses written in it, as long as I send it to the family family elsewhere. Doubling is still not a problem.
In order to grab two books, some guys waited in front of the Yun family's bookstore the night before. Of course, the next morning they got their wish and bought the quota of two books. The Yun family is particular about doing business, and they have to queue up to buy things. First come, first come is clearly divided, if there is a queue. There will be a big man in a black suit who will come over and ask, "What's the matter!" Brother, what's uncomfortable? ”
If some of the guys glare, the big men would immediately ask, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Look at your ......!"
In order to achieve the maximum amount of transmission, Yunhao stipulates that each person can only buy two copies. As a result, every night, people lined up in front of the bookstore with quilts. Where there is demand, there will naturally be a market. Hiring a guy in line came into being, as long as you help line up to buy books, you can get the benefit of 500 wen. For a time, there was a trend in the queue in Jinyang City. People have seized the east wind of getting rich and become the one who got rich first.
"Brother Hao, we earned 10,000 yuan in three days." Hou Junji's eyes were red with excitement, looking at the piles of copper coins, dancing with his hands. From a distance, it looks like Zhong Kui catching ghosts, and up close, it looks like the Yellow Turban Uprising.
"This is just the beginning, books as a legacy of learning. It has been controlled by the family for many years, and now it is open to the public. The thirst for knowledge will make people buy books regardless of the cost. But it won't be for long, after all, there are too few literate people in these days. Yun Hao sighed, ten percent of the people in this year were semi-literate, and the remaining eighty-nine percent were pure illiterate in his mother.
There are fewer literate people, and the demand for books is not as high. After the heat is over, sales will gradually decline.
However, Yun Hao was not worried about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the first volume was sold for only three days. The order for the second volume flew to the Yun family's store like snowflakes, and those guys who urged the change were very arrogant. As long as the second volume comes out, money is not a problem, whether it is real gold or silver, as long as it has a price.
Unconsciously, Yun Hao's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has quietly walked out of Jinyang. Book-trafficking merchants came into being, and they rushed at a rate of eight hundred miles. sent "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Luoyang, the eastern capital, as well as Chang'an City. Because, there is the largest concentration of family gate valves. That is, there is the most market there.
"That's nonsense!" A middle-aged man slammed the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the ground, thinking about it and not understanding his hatred. A big foot stepped on it.
