Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

She doesn't run tabloids to make money, she does it to deal with people, and she can't waste time.

"Then make the engravings and movable type at the same time. Your eldest disciple, Master Xiao Su, is now with his apprentices in the workshop. This is enough for ordinary printing. However, movable type printing cannot be done without you."

"Movable type printing is of great benefit to the present and future generations. If it can be successfully promoted, your name, Master Su, will be passed down through the ages and will be no less famous than those scholars!"

Master Su smiled bitterly: "My boss has praised me so much that I don't know what to do. I am an old man, but I am honored by my boss's respect. I will just give it a try."

"I just don't know what the money is like? How do you make clay characters? I can only carve and recognize a few characters. The boss needs to find some capable people to do it with me."

If Master Su could agree to it, the matter would be half done. Liu Yunqing smiled and nodded.

"Although this matter cannot be accomplished without you, Master Su, I can't leave everything to you. Don't worry about the money. I will find a way. I have also contacted the pottery workshop and they have ready-made manpower."

"Movable type printing is quite complicated. Let's do it step by step. Let's not talk about the search later. Now the main thing is to make all the characters and bake them. How can we make each character burn evenly so that the characters are clear and neatly arranged when printed?"

"As long as we solve this first difficulty, the rest will be easy."

Master Su nodded in agreement, and then thought about it and asked for half a day off.

"Since I have agreed, I will do it wholeheartedly. However, developing movable type is not a one-day job. I thought that my boss would allow me to go home to see my grandson and tell my family about the situation. Then I would take some valuables and live in the workshop. I will not go home until the movable type is developed."

Today's craftsmen more or less have this spirit of perseverance. Whether it's Master Su, Wang Ganer, or the Pu Niangzi brother and sister, they all take their careers extremely seriously and will never give up until they do a good job.

Liu Yunqing had great respect for him, but she was concerned that Master Su was indeed old. If he really got hurt again because of movable type printing, it would be her fault.

It would take her two days to contact the pottery workshop and prepare materials suitable for firing into movable type, Liu Yunqing thought about it and said.

"You usually only come back four or five times a month. You can stay at home for two more days this time. There is not enough space in the workshop. I will rent another house for the next two days. Firstly, it will be convenient for you to stay there. Secondly, it will be closer to the workshop, so it will be convenient for you to go there or for them to come to you to discuss things."

Master Su naturally had no objection.

He had worked for the Liu family for decades. In the beginning, he was called the boss Liu Chenggong, but he was just paid for each day's work. There was nothing special about it. Later, when the young boss came along, he gradually developed a sense of belonging to the bookstore. He always remembered all the kindness the young boss had shown him.

Especially five years ago, when his wife was ill, he couldn't leave his family and wanted to take half a month off every month. Liu Chenggong was very dissatisfied with him, and he also felt guilty and felt that he had let down his employer's trust.

They were all ready to resign, but the young master was only a little older at that time, so he personally brought the doctor to see his wife. If one doctor failed, he would change another. He changed five doctors in a row and was about to give up, but the young master was still persistent.

At that time he could not help but ask the young boss why he cared so much about him. He said that he was the master chef in the workshop, but that was just a better title than a waiter and was not a big deal.

The young owner did not think so, and said bluntly: "Even if Master Su was a worker in the bookshop, I would still do the same. You think you are working for wages, and no one owes anyone anything. But I have seen clearly over the years that without Master Su, there would be no bookshop today."

"Anyone can open a shop if they have money, but if they don't have your skills, it's a skill that can't be bought no matter how much money you invest. If I can make you worry-free, you can also make your shop's business flourish, right? It's mutual."

Master Su still remembers this mutual reciprocity.

It is all thanks to the young master that my wife has lived a few more years, and now she can even watch her little grandson grow up.

So let alone movable type printing for now, even if he was really asked to carve the stars and the moon in the sky, he would have to give it a try!

"I am not a person who talks big. Since the boss has prepared everything for me, I ask you to wait and see. If it is really done, it will make the boss's tomorrow famous for generations. This will be worthy of the boss's concern and attention to us over the years."

Liu Yunqing smiled and nodded: "Then I will wait and see. If it really works, I will definitely ask people to write a biography about it, one by one, so that we can all become famous!"

When this was said, the master and his assistants all laughed. Unlike the scholars, no one present actually cared about becoming famous. They just thought about how to do the job well and how to maximize their skills.

If I could really see this unprecedented thing being created in my own hands, my life would be worth it!

After a brief meeting, everyone went about their own business.

Xiaoman has grown a lot recently. She is adept at renting a house and coordinating with the management of Zhao Chengyan's pottery workshop. Liu Yunqing doesn't have to worry about these things at all.

The only thing she needed to worry about was searching for candidates.

Just as Master Su said, although the woodblock printing masters and apprentices in the bookshop deal with words every day, their cultural level is not that high, they just have good skills, and even if they encounter words they don't know, they can imitate them and print them exactly as they are.

In order to make searching quick and convenient, it is necessary to sort the characters by pronunciation or radicals, which can only be done by people who are well-versed in this field.

But who are the scholars around her?

Liu Yunqing thought about it and realized that the only people he was familiar with were Qin Xin and Zhang Youzheng.

It was just before the autumn examination, so how could they dare to trouble them with such a matter? If they hired someone else, the money would be a small matter, but they were afraid that scholars would not be willing to lose face in doing business.

Whether it is reliable or not is another matter.

Liu Yunqing pinched his brows and was about to raise his hand to pour himself a drink, but when he raised his hand, he saw another pile of things on the table.

This is the "Collection of the First Bianjing Inspirational Quotes Contest" that Xiaoman gave her this morning.

Liu Yunqing placed his hand on the thick stack of books and quickly smiled.

The reason her incense paper became popular in the first place was because Mr. Zhao promoted it for her. Now, if she wants to get more scholars involved, she has to use this trick.

Thanks to the last competition, she was able to show her face and become famous in front of some great scholars. Not to mention the distant ones, just take Duke Deng as an example. If she talked to him about it, he would not fail to see the benefits of movable type printing.

If he could participate in the search method, why would we worry that the literati in Bian Jing would not actively participate?

With their collective wisdom, movable type printing will surely succeed!
