It was already afternoon when I returned to the small courtyard of the Zhong family, and although there were still three hundred and dozens of booklets in the house at this time, the more than six hundred copies that were sold were also used at an astonishing speed to attract gold, and in less than a day's effort, the previous dozens of taels became six thousand taels in front of me. As for the remaining hundreds of copies, in addition to the ones that were successively processed to Zhang Bahu, the remaining volumes were also provided to Zhang Bahu in the way of garbage disposal, and by the way, Fang Yun also provided Zhang Bahu with a piece of extremely valuable information for free, that is, in addition to Miss Lou, a girl to be married, there is also a lively and lovely Miss Cousin, who loves to wear red dresses, is as hot as an elf, has white skin and beautiful appearance, and has a lot of money. When providing this news, Fang Yun laughed evilly in his heart, that little girl dared to tease him in front of Lou Mansion, it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, disgust that girl first.

"Smack!"

"Little old man, this is not a dream." Looking at the silver piled up on the table like a hill, Dong Laohan patted him on the face.

"Yes, Dad, I've never seen so much silver in my life." Zhong Lei also looked at the small silver mountain in front of him dizzily, and his eyes couldn't be pulled out of it for a long time.

"Dad, Brother Fang is still here." Among the few people, Zhong Xiaorou was a little calmer, or Zhong Xiaorou's attention was not all on this pile of silver. Seeing the wealth obsession of the father and son, Zhong Xiaorou couldn't help but nudge Zhong Laohan.

Zhong Laohan was woken up by his daughter, his old face turned red, and he hugged Fang Yun and said, "It's a gaffe, let Fang Gongzi and the little brother Shoude laugh, not to mention Zhong Lei, a muddy boy, even the little old man has never seen so much silver in his life." For Fang Gongzi, Xiao Lao'er didn't say anything, in addition to admiration, he still admired, if the dog could have Fang Gongzi's ability, Xiao Lao'er would be blind even if he died. ”

Fang Yun said, "We have just earned the silver, the little girl is gentle and virtuous, Zhong Lei has a tiger spirit, and he has taught him a lesson, Uncle Zhong will still have a lot of blessings to enjoy in the future, so what is it to say these bad words." ”

"Fang Gongzi is right, he is right, Xiao Lao'er will never say such depressing words in the future." Although Zhong Laohan said that Zhong Lei's nose was not a nose or an eye, he also felt sorry for this son, and as for Zhong Xiaorou, the baby girl, he didn't say anything.

"By the way, this business is run by Fang Gongzi from beginning to end, the little old man doesn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, get back the capital, and Fang Gongzi will look at it and give some wages."

Fang Yun shook his head and said, "That's not possible, this silver will be divided into two halves, and Uncle Zhong and I will be half." ”

"No, absolutely not. The little old man's family also worked hard, where can it be worth so much silver. Fang Gongzi, you are tormenting the little old man. Old Man Zhong's head shook like a rattle, and even if the silver in front of him was divided into half, it would be three thousand or several hundred taels. He has been busy for most of his life and has not been able to earn a fraction of it, and now the clouds under him are so generous that he can divide the numbers that he couldn't think of before, and Zhong Laohan even feels a little hot.

"That is, it was Brother Fang's idea before and after, if it weren't for Brother Fang, with my clumsiness, even if I had those brochures, I am afraid I wouldn't be able to sell them. In the past, I worked for someone else for a month, and I couldn't get two taels of silver, Brother Fang, you are good, and you have helped me and my sister so much, it stands to reason that even if we don't take a penny, we still take advantage of Brother Fang. Zhong Lei scratched his head and said with a half-sized tiger look.

Fang Yun said it several times, this family of three just insisted on refusing to accept it, Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh, he had seen too much deceit in his previous life, and then to the few people in front of him who were far from rich, but extremely simple, Fang Yun especially felt the preciousness of this family. It seems that this thief is also kind to him, although he has just passed through and become a poor bastard, but he is fortunate to meet such a family.

"Well, you don't want to share, and I don't want to monopolize the benefits like this. How about this money being used to do business in partnership in the future? Fang Yun asked after turning around in place a few times.

"What way did Fang Gongzi think of to make money?" Zhong Laohan asked with interest.

"There is a way now, Uncle Zhong, you have to make the plate in advance when printing, can you show me the printing plate?" Fang Yundao.

Zhong Laohan nodded and said, "Yes, I have two at home, on the stool at my bedside, Xiaorou, you go and get it for Fang Gongzi." ”

Zhong Xiaorou walked into the room, and after a while, she took out the two heavy printing plates.

Fang Yun took it in his hand and weighed it twice, it was heavy, the words on it were all reversed, and they had been fixed, "Uncle Zhong, your printing plates are all like this?" ”

"Yes, it's just that there is a difference in the words above, and this kind of clay word is relatively low-cost. But it also depends on what craftsmen do, skilled craftsmen, made of, even if it is not as good as the copper plate, but it will not be too bad, this time the album is from the hands of the old craftsman. If it weren't for the old craftsman, I wouldn't have asked for so much money this time. The old man has been in the printing workshop for half his life, and there are only a few copper printing plates in the better workshops. Is there any problem with Fang Gongzi? Zhong Laohan asked.

"Uncle Zhong has ever thought of printing some books on the Analects, universities and the like to sell? Suzhou and Hangzhou are densely populated, the style of study is also prosperous, there are many people who want to learn, there are studious people, and there are not enough books in hand, if there are enough books to provide to those students at a relatively reasonable price, I believe that our books are not worried about selling. Fang Yun said.

Zhong Laohan shook his head and said, for other aspects, he didn't dare to doubt Fang Yun's words, but after half a lifetime in the printing industry, Zhong Laohan felt that he still had a certain right to speak, "This Fang Gongzi doesn't know, the production of the printing plate costs a lot of money, unlike this printing album, the layout is small, and the number of words is small." A few small plates will do the trick. I want to print books. A lot of work needs to be done. If you only print one book, you won't sell much. However, printing too many books not only takes a long time, but also consumes a lot of money. ”

"I've already seen the printed plates, and I also know that Uncle Zhong said that if it's just a fixed printing plate, just a book, it's a lot of money, and it takes longer. However, Uncle Zhong has thought about it, if the words on the printing board are disassembled, each word can be flexibly assembled and put together temporarily, that is to say, we only need to make some movable types out, and when it is time to use them, they will be put together. Movable type printing, wouldn't this save a lot of unnecessary overhead, but also save a lot of time for plate making. Fang Yun smiled indifferently.

"Movable type printing!" When Zhong Laohan heard this, his body shook violently, and he looked at Fang Yundao with an incredible expression, "Fang Gongzi's whimsical ideas really made the little old man suddenly, in the past, when the little old man was working in the workshop, although he had many doubts about these tedious tasks, but he couldn't find a solution, but Fang Gongzi, a word woke up the dreamer, Fang Gongzi's suggestion will bring subversive development and breakthroughs to the printing industry." Compared with Fang Gongzi, Xiao Lao'er's life has really been in vain. ”

Zhong Laohan admired Fang Yun very much, and his expression was like a fanatical star chaser. This was entirely due to an apprentice's technical admiration for the top masters, which made Zhong Laohan even more shocked than Fang Yun earning nearly seven thousand taels of silver in one day.
