Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 175: Carving, fooling Mr. Zhang
When she thought about the space she had, she realized that she could just use a printing press and a diesel generator to achieve mass production with just a few strokes.
The source of the paper is hard to explain. If it was just a little, it would be easy to handle, but when she uses it for business, of course there will be a lot more, and it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to notice that something is wrong.
After much thought, she finally thought of the ancient woodblock printing technique.
After careful consideration, he began to make his next plan.
The day passed quickly, and by the next morning the snow outside had piled up to the thickness of the backs of the feet.
I thought I would get a few pairs of snow boots when I get back. Snow boots are not only warm but also good-looking.
"Xiao Xia, please deliver a visiting card to the Shangshu Mansion in my name. Let's go there leisurely now."
After saying that, Xiao Xia ordered the guards to leave hurriedly with the visiting card, while Su Muyao walked leisurely behind.
By the time Su Muyao and her group arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Lord Zhang had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing the person he was waiting for coming, he hurried over and said, "Where is this wind coming from? It blew you, little princess, here. Come in quickly because it's too cold outside."
The biting cold wind blew up his robe as if to confirm his words.
He couldn't help but shiver.
Lord Zhang led the way and brought Su Muyao to the hall.
"This time I came here to ask Lord Zhang for help in making something."
Su Muyao spoke straight to the point, and before Master Zhang could reply, the voice of Milk Ball sounded again: "If you can do it, I'm afraid you will go down in history in this life."
"Hahaha" Then our Lord Zhang must agree!
The person who came was Mr. Zhang's father. He just came in with two maids carrying a charcoal brazier. He just happened to hear these words and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
It’s not that I don’t believe what the little princess says. After all, she has made such magical things and she doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would brag.
"Princess, what is this thing you are talking about? Can it make me famous in history?"
Lord Zhang stuttered a little. He was not familiar with the young princess, so why did she suddenly find him and say that she wanted to go down in history?
Seeing his look of disbelief, Su Shuyao was not angry.
He just said calmly: "Do you know how the books in our dynasty are made?"
"What else can I do? It's all hand-copied."
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "The court has special copyists, and there are also some students in the folks who copy books to supplement their family income. This is known to everyone."
When Su Muyao saw that he had finished speaking and did not show any other impatient expression, she knew that she had found the right person.
"Hand-copying is a waste of manpower. How many books can one person copy non-stop all day?"
"Then, Princess, do you have any good ideas?"
Lord Zhang saw that Su Muyao was very serious and thought that she might have some ideas in this regard.
"If you follow my method, Mr. Copyist will be no match for you. Its speed will be several times faster than Mr. Copyist's."
Su Muyao finished speaking calmly, but Master Zhang didn't reply for a long time. He then continued, "But you have to promise me that you will complete my needs first."
It was not until he heard Su Muyao speak again that Zhang Daren came out of his thoughts.
I have heard about the deeds of this little princess, and who knows, this time might be just as she said.
Change the hand copying method that has been used for thousands of years to a faster and more agile method.
If I don't do it well, I can really go down in history.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Little Princess, what are your conditions?"
“My conditions are very simple, that is, you must first make what I need and guarantee to give me priority in helping me unconditionally in the future.
I have to explain here that what I ask you to do may require a lot of manpower and material resources. "
"Of course, in return, I will give you the method for free. As for how you use it, it is none of my business. You just need to complete the task I assign to you."
After saying this, she confidently waited for Lord Zhang to consider it.
Sir Zhang felt as if he had gotten a huge bargain. After all, if he used this thing properly, then wouldn't it be... Thinking of this, he became excited.
But when he looked at the little baby in front of him, he saw that she was smiling brightly and looked as well-behaved as possible, with no sign of anything unusual.
But he felt something was strange. He couldn't figure out what the little princess was thinking.
"Since the princess has said so, this method will allow me to go down in history, but you and I are not familiar with each other, so how come this great opportunity fell on me?"
On the side, Mr. Zhang's father wanted to give his good-for-nothing son two blows.
Lord Zhang was still wondering in his heart, was it because of his handsome appearance that made this little girl remember him?
Otherwise, with so many civil officials and military generals in the court, why did they choose to find me?
"Naturally, Lord Zhang has more experience with paperwork, so he thought of you first.
Besides, if you get this recipe, your career will definitely move up a level, but I asked you to help me make things first, which will require a lot of manpower and resources, so I have to remind you again."
Lord Zhang felt that what Su Muyao said was nothing.
How much manpower and material resources can be used? My wife's family is the richest in Beijing.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. Tell me what you need me to do?"
Su Muyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the fish had taken the bait.
There is no free lunch in this world, and I am still worried about how to convince Lord Zhang from the Shangshu Mansion.
Of course, I know that this gentleman is extremely wealthy, so if I want to fleece a sheep, I have to pick the fattest one.
This initial carving requires a considerable amount of manpower, the workload is huge and there are also many disadvantages.
It all depends on manual plate making, and it is easy for mistakes and omissions to occur during the engraving process. In addition, typos are too troublesome to correct.
Basically you have to carve a new board.
When engraving a page or making a plate, even if only one word is different, a new plate has to be engraved, so it is still a waste of manpower and resources.
Thinking about the many varieties of sketchbooks he has, it means that Mr. Zhang has taken on such a troublesome job.
Fortunately, I succeeded in fooling myself.
It was quite funny to see him sitting upright, listening attentively.
Su Muyao slowly explained the recipe for woodblock printing that she had prepared earlier today: "This method is called woodblock printing, and the production process is not difficult.
After the manuscript is written, the side with the characters to be copied is pasted on the board and the characters can be engraved.
"The engraver used different types of carving knives to carve the words and ink on the wood into raised positive text, and at the same time, removed the remaining blank parts of the wood to make them concave."
"The characters carved out of the page protrude about 1 to 2 millimeters from the page.
Finally, rinse the carved block with hot water to remove sawdust, etc. The engraving process is then completely completed."
When Lord Zhang heard this, his eyes widened slightly. This little princess's brain was really flexible.
