Chapter 072 The Great Inventor

At the entrances of brothels in various places in Pingkangfang, there were groups of elegant young men in groups of three or five, and many people were secretly looking at the sudden abruptness.

I don’t blame others for paying attention to him, because he is really too sexy.

Not far away, the abrupt old acquaintance Ma Ping'an and the brother-in-law Xue Kai, who was about to enter Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find the old acquaintance to have fun. After accidentally seeing Tang'an, his face turned green immediately.

In the past, they saw abrupt cats playing with mice, but now they just meet cats, and they are afraid of avoiding them.

The former cowardly deceased turned into a confidant student of the current dynasty, and they could no longer afford to offend them.

"The shameless thing that a villain can succeed and recognizes the thief as his father!" Xue Kai cursed in a angrily and low voice.

Ma Pingan pulled Xue Kai, his face turned pale, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, we can't afford to mess with you, we can still afford to hide!"

The two were about to slip away quietly, but they were stopped by Meiji Guigong and others who were welcoming guests. The sound of the orioles was so loud that they could not escape.

The brothels nearby are not ordinary brothels. The women in them are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the fees are extremely high, and of course the threshold is also high.

A wealthy family like Xue Kaima and Ping'an are the most popular.

Since you are here, you don’t leave a few chunks of money, do you still want to leave?

Tang suddenly noticed the movement here, so he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards him with his head held high.

Seeing this, Ma Ping'an and the others couldn't hide, and they couldn't leave, and they were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.

Tang laughed abruptly. He was originally a promising person. Since he ran into Ma Ping'an and Xue Kai, it would be the best.

When Tang suddenly came over, the beautiful girl was entangled with her smile, but he didn't refuse, letting the beauty enter her arms. He turned his head to look at Ma Ping'an and Xue Kai with an embarrassing face, and greeted her with a smile: "Don't you guys, are you okay?"

Ma Ping'an's lips trembled for a moment, and had to force a smile, bow to him and bow to him: "I've seen the Ninth Master."

Xue Kai was a little angry, but he still clenched his teeth and bowed his hands with his neck: "Young Master Jiu."

Tang laughed abruptly and let the beautiful girls of Xiaoxiang Pavilion join in and walked into the largest brothel in Pingkangfang.

...

At that time.

East City.

Rongsheng Hall is open in Yanshoufang.

Opposite Rongsheng Hall, Huang Xin secretly sent someone to buy a large mansion in the front hall and back yard. A business called "Fuxing Seal Society" is being built and opened in full swing.

The abrupt judgment is right. As long as a person like Huang Xin is allowed to see his goal, his ambition will be transformed into endless motivation.

He claims to be a great lurker, but in Huang Xin's eyes, he is a great scholar and a great inventor.

For example, in Huang Xin's view, the new inflatable football is at most clever and profitable; but the birth of frosting, soap and movable type printing technology is definitely a great initiative to change the world and the times, and to benefit the people and the country.

The workshop in the backyard of Fuxing Yinshe, which was not opened, has been initially formed, and more than ten skilled craftsmen hired by Huang Xin are working hard.

Thinking of Tang Kuo and then I don’t know how many great inventions will be released, Huang Xin’s eyes were filled with endless fanaticism.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the market has used woodblock printing technology. Books and Buddhist scriptures can only print small works.

Tang Qian spent one night writing down the principles and core technical points of movable type printing, and then spent another night teaching Huang Xin clearly.

According to Tang's abrupt request, Huang Xin decided to go both with clay movable type printing and wooden movable type printing. He is still a bit aligned. Tang's abruptly said that clay movable type is easier to use than wooden movable type and has higher efficiency, so he still insists on giving it a try.

The principle of movable type printing is not complicated. It may be separated from the woodblock printing technique by a thin layer of window paper, but if there is no abrupt existence, this layer of window paper will not be broken at least a hundred years.

In order to keep the technology confidential, Tang Kui asked Huang Xin to separate the craftsmen and operate them in different processes. For example, after the worker who made the slurry embryos was finished, he was transferred to another independent courtyard and was carved by the engraving craftsman. After the carving was completed, he was transferred to another place, and the other craftsmen were treated and fired into shape.

The craftsmen in these three links exist independently and cooperate closely, and do not know each other's existence, and no one knows what the owner wants to make these things.

When the movable type mold is carved and burned, these craftsmen will be dismissed by Huang Xin.

In fact, the production of the font mold is only the first step. The real core technology lies in the formula for the medicine used during typography.

When typing, prepare an iron plate first, and the iron plate is covered with powdered powder. An iron frame is surrounded by an iron frame. The iron frame is filled with the prints to be printed. Then bake it with fire, melt the mixture, and integrate it with the movable type blocks. Press it on the movable type while it is hot. Make the literal flat and you can print it.

Using this method, printing two or three books is not very efficient. If you print too many times, dozens or even thousands of books will be very efficient.

In order to improve efficiency, two iron plates can be often used. One is printed and one is arranged. After printing one piece, the other is arranged again. This way, the other is used alternately, and the efficiency is very high.

Commonly used characters such as "zhi", "ye", etc., each character is made into more than 20 characters for use when there are duplicates in the first page.

Unusual characters that are not prepared will be released immediately and burned immediately with plants, trees and fire. The characters removed from the printing plate are placed in a small wooden grid of the same character, and labels classified by rhyme are pasted on the outside for search.

In front of Huang Xin, a book of "The Sutra of Contemplation of Amitabha Buddha" published by Ci'en Temple is presented. This is the most popular sutra nowadays, published in "The Book of the Kaiyuan Buddhist Church" compiled by Zhisheng, a monk from Xi Chongfu Temple in Chang'an during the Kaiyuan period.

It was abruptly decided to use the "Amitabha Sutra" as a test piece. If it is successful, it will be printed in large quantities and launched on the market immediately.

Nowadays, the major temples in Chang'an City and surrounding areas have a strong fortune. Once such exquisitely printed scriptures are published, you will not be afraid that eminent monks and masters will not flock to them.

...

Linghu Wan hurried in with a sudden hand-written version of "Journey to the West", and said excitedly: "Huang Xin, when can I print the book? If possible, print this book first!"

Huang Xin smiled slightly and bowed, "Miss Linghu, my husband said, print Buddhist scriptures first, print in large quantities, we must make money first!"

Linghu Wan curled her lips: "I think Tang abruptly means being obsessed with money! What does he need so much money? It's fine to open Rongshengtang to do business, but now he has set up a Fuxing Seal Society. Is he going to go to business?"

"Miss Linghu, my husband's family is in decline. After all, he is not as good as the Linghu family. Chang'an is big and it is difficult to live in. Otherwise, if we earn a family business, how can we make a living?"

A fanatical look immediately floated on Huang Xin's face. He bowed and said, "As Mr. said, some things can only be slowly spread to the world through commercial operations, and then gradually change this era. For example, if Mr. created this movable type printing technique, if he built a closed-door car and entertained himself, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?"
