Mrs. Zheng picked up a movable type, handed it to Du Qi, and said, "Erlang, this is a craftsman in the craftsman's workshop. It was made in two days, and many fonts have been made."
"Because the production of movable type is not easy, it only took two days. After all, it is very easy to blur the font and infiltrate the surrounding area when it is generally made of wood."
"However, the wood of this movable type is real iron wood. Its hardness is like iron. It is not easy to carve, but after it is carved, it is easy to store and can be used continuously. After a short period of use, the movable type has to be replaced. "
"This movable type has been used for a longer time."
"Not only that, such movable type will be quite clear when it is engraved."
After a pause, Mrs. Zheng continued: "Now, the movable type has been made. In particular, the raw materials have also been selected. Although the craftsmen in the craftsman workshop have already carved a lot of characters, it is too limitless to choose characters and carve at will. .¡±
"This situation is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."
"So, you'd better take out the content to be engraved first, and let the craftsman engrave it one by one according to the content. In this way, because there are more and more movable types, in the end, the speed will become faster and faster."
Zheng said slowly: "After all, there are really only so many words to use."
Du Qidao: "My mother's words are reasonable!"
After a pause, he continued: "What my son wants to engrave now is a book. My son will take the content and go to the craftsman's workshop immediately."
Mrs. Zheng nodded and said: "Although it is dark now, the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop have not rested yet. You can go to the craftsman's workshop. The lights are still on in the craftsman's workshop today. The craftsmen inside are still making movable type. These craftsmen in our house are good old people, they have worked very hard these past few days. After you go, say something nice, understand?"
"Son understands!"
Du Qi nodded, he was very clear about the world in this respect.
He stood up and walked out.
The area of ??the craftsman's workshop is actually in Zheng's house, but it is located in the West Wing. This area is slightly remote, but it doesn't really affect the craftsmen.
In fact, the Zheng family has a separate craftsman workshop, which is responsible for making some farm tools. Because Mr. Zheng saw the production process of movable type printing and knew the value of movable type printing, he selected a few old craftsmen alone, and opened a simple craftsman's workshop in the West Wing of the mansion. , specializing in the production of movable type.
When Du Qi arrived, everyone was still busy.
Now that the materials for movable type are determined, there is no problem with movable type, so they make large-scale movable type. For the time being, they have no content, so they make movable type at will, so as not to make the movable type repeat.
When Du Qi entered, all the gray-haired old craftsmen were still busy. There are bright smiles on their faces. Because it is extremely gratifying to gain the trust of the master.
Du Qi looked at each of the old craftsmen, he bowed respectfully, and said: "All the old masters have worked hard."
When everyone heard the words, they quickly humbled themselves.
For them, they are members of the Du family, and doing things for the Du family is a matter of course.
In each of them, I don't feel anything. On the contrary, they think Du Qi is polite, but Du Qi is polite and respects them so much, which is quite gratifying to them.
Du Qi said: "Masters have worked very hard to develop movable type in the past two days. You have worked hard and stayed up all night to study. I have seen your hard work in the past two days. Now that things are successful, you must reward them. .Each of you, go to the accounting room to get the money yourself. Each of you, get two strings of money. This is a reward for you."
Two strings of money is not a small amount.
Especially for the craftsmen in the house, the monthly allowance is only two to three hundred yuan, even for experienced master craftsmen, the allowance is only a little higher. Now, all of a sudden, they were about to receive two rounds of money, everyone was surprised.
And even more excited.
However, Du Qi was young after all, so they were still a little worried in their hearts.
Whether Du Qi's words count.
Du Qi could see the worries of the crowd, he looked confident, and said: "Now the tea shops and restaurants under my name are making a lot of money every day. The money sent back to the house every month is countless. Reward one of you No one dares to say anything for two people. What's more, you deserve it. You go to the accountant tomorrow, report my name, and say that I said it, and no one dares to stop you."
"yes!"
Everyone Stands Up? Just go down.
When they looked at Du Qi, their eyes changed instantly.
Tea shops and restaurants have long been popular in Chang'an. Countless people know that the tea of ??the best tea in the world is a real high-end tea with an unmatched taste and excellent taste. Especially the food in the restaurant is extremely delicious, making countless people salivate.
They knew about tea shops and restaurants, but in fact, because they seldom went out, they didn't know that Du Qi was in control. Now that I know it, my heart is already full of excitement, and I feel even more proud.
When they looked at Du Qi, they no longer had the same eyes as before.
Previously, they looked at Du Qi like an old man looking at a child, and felt that although Du Qi was the second son of the Du family, he was still young, so he might not be able to take what he said and did seriously.
But now, it is different.
Every face showed admiration and admiration for Du Qi.
My son, it's too powerful.
Du Qi noticed the change in everyone's expression, he smiled slightly, and asked: "You are serious, who is responsible?"
"Old man is!"
Among the crowd, an old man with a bright head stood up.
This person's hair has already turned gray, and his temples are covered with wind and frost. Especially one of his cheeks was full of creases. His back was slightly bent, especially the knuckles of his ten fingers were thick, and his palms were covered with calluses.
His name is Du Ping'an, which is the original surname of the Du family. In the early years, Du Ping'an had a difficult life and had nowhere to go. He sold himself into the Du family and became a member of the Du family.
Du Ping'an said: "Master, the young man's name is Du Ping'an, and he is the person in charge of everyone."
Du Qidao: "Very good!"
After a pause, Du Qi had already taken out the fifth chapter of Romance from his sleeve, and said, "Mr. Du, this is the content you want to print. According to the content, print all the movable type, and then follow the The content is typeset and printed, and all the content is printed. In short, after the content is printed, it is carefully preserved and made as much as possible.¡±
"yes!"
Du Ping'an took it over and kept it carefully.
For Du Ping'an, now that he has the raw materials to make movable type, he knows that the follow-up will not be difficult. Moreover, after the movable type is made, it can be used repeatedly, which is far more useful than the engraving of the engraving block.
Du Qidao: "Mr. Du, it's your hard work."
Du Pingan quickly shook his head and said, "Young Master, you are spoiling the little old man. This matter is the job of the little old man, not to mention that the young master gives you so much preferential treatment and such generous rewards. For us, This is an incredible award.¡±
Du Qi said: "As long as Mr. Du and others do a good job, there will be more and more rewards like this in the future. It's late at night, so you should go to bed earlier, and I'm leaving."
"I'll give you my son!"
Du Ping'an personally sent Du Qi away.
Then, he returned to the craftsman's workshop, looked at all the old craftsmen and brothers like him, and said: "Everyone, the young master treats us well, and the wife is also very kind to us. Now, the young master has given a task, we You should work hard to live up to your son¡¯s expectations.¡±
All the old craftsmen answered in unison.
For them, this is an opportunity.
Especially since the master is so kind, they should serve the master just like the master.
As the crowd got busy, they continued to carve according to the movable type on the content of the fifth chapter. From the beginning, it was a bit busy, because there were not many characters, and they all needed to be produced one by one, which would be slower and more troublesome.
As time goes by, the more words are repeated, the easier the subsequent production will be. After all, there are more and more characters. As long as there are more characters, there is no need to engrave them again, which will be much more convenient.
Du Qi didn't know all of this.
He returned to his yard, and because it was already late at night, he went to bed early. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
