Chapter Nineteen What do you want to do?!

With Lin Jian’s brand, the risks Lin Zhao took during this period were already worth the money. After all, his distant uncle, the seventh uncle, is not an ordinary court official, but a fourth-rank official in the capital!

In the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ranks of officials are generally not high. The first and second ranks are mostly used as old people who retire at home. The third and fourth ranks are the people who truly hold real power in the court. After all, as tall as the Six Ministers, they are only the third rank. Some prime ministers in the center are even just fourth rank officials!

In other words, with Lin Jian's current status, he does not need to endure any qualifications. As long as the emperor nods, he can enter the prime minister without any obstacles and become the prime minister of the Great Zhou.

Of course, Lin Jian is a little down and was driven back to his hometown by the emperor from Chang'an. But even so, Lin Jian still has a huge influence in Yuezhou Prefecture. Whether it is the county magistrate of Shanyin or the magistrate of Yuezhou, when encountering Lin Jian, everyone must give Lin Jian a proper manner, and everyone must give Lin Jian a little face.

After all, this former minister is only in his early forties. For a fourth-rank official, he is really young, and no one can tell when he will regain his career and once again stand above the clouds.

Moreover, Lin Jian has been an official for many years and has many disciples and old officials. Even if he does not become an official, his influence in the officialdom can almost be rampant in Yuezhou City.

And now that Lin Zhao can hold this thigh, it is worth it even if he takes more risks.

After all, as long as Lin Jian’s brand is in hand, although it may not be possible to bully anyone in Yuezhou Prefecture, no one in Yuezhou City can bully Lin Zhao!

Lin Jian stayed in Lin Zhao's house, said a few words to Lin Zhao and Zhao Xie, and then left. Before leaving, the Yuan Dagong reached out and patted Zhao Xie on the shoulder and sighed: "What he did in Nanyang in his early years was the duty of an official. I never took it to heart. I never thought that the people in Zhaojia Village were so concerned. Now that the people in the village died because of me, Lin Jian really felt sorry for him."

He bowed his head slightly to Zhao Xie and bowed, "The people who were killed and injured in Zhaojia Village are also asked to properly bury Brother Zhao. After Lin Jian is in trouble, he will definitely go to worship in person."

Zhao Xie is about 30 years old, about ten years younger than Lin Jian, so Lin Jian calls him a brother.

Zhao Xie was very moved and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Jian. Lin Zhao, who was standing beside him, was quick-eyed and quick-handed, so he didn't let him kneel down.

The injury on this guy's body has not healed yet. Once he moves too much, his wound will probably crack. He will have to live in his home for a few more months.

Although Zhao Xie did not kneel down, he looked panicked and lowered his head to Lin Jian and said, "If it weren't for Yuan Da Gong, there would probably be no way out for more than 2,700 people from Zhao's village. Before coming to Yuezhou this time, the elders in the family said that no matter how many people died in the Zhao family, the thieves could not let the thieves hurt Yuan Da Gong a hair."

"Duke Yuanda is the great benefactor of the Zhao family, and Zhao Xie must never dare to accept the benefactor's courtesy."

For these people in the world, they have always been clearly distinguished. Lin Yuanda has kindness to Zhaojiazhai, and the people in Zhaojiazhai will be willing to die for him without any complaints.

Lin Jian shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, if I stay here for a while, you will be more dangerous. I will go back now."

He looked at Zhao Xie and said, "You are so sad that you have recovered from my nephew. If you have any questions, you can ask him to go to Daiyuan to find me."

Zhao Xie bowed respectfully: "The villain obeys the order."

After talking to Zhao Xie, Lin Jian pulled his nephew Lin Zhao out of the house again. Seeing that there was no one around, he slowly said: "As for these Zhao family members today, it is all because of Uncle Wei. Uncle Wei is in some trouble now and cannot take care of him personally, so he can only entrust him to let him recover from your injuries."

Lin Jian's face was serious: "You can't let others think that our Lin family in Yuezhou is ungrateful."

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Qi, my nephew will take good care of him."

Lin Jian nodded.

"That's good. If you are short of money, go to Daiyuan to find me."

As he said that, he took two steps out and said, "Then, your idea of ​​movable type is very good. If you can make it out, it will be a blessing for all people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. You have to pay more snacks. What kind of Sanyuan Bookstore should not go if you can. If you don't have money, I can give it to you. You can go directly to Mr. Zhou to learn seal carving."

Mr. Zhou, whom he mentioned, was the seal carving master who had asked Lin Zhao to learn his skills.

Lin Zhao shook his head slightly and lowered his head and said, "Uncle Qi, don't worry, I will get this thing out as soon as possible. As for Mr. Zhou, I won't bother you for the time being. When there is any difficulty, I will definitely go over and ask for advice."

Lin Jian nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave.

Lin Zhao followed him and gave him a step or two, then bowed to the humanoid thigh and said goodbye.

"Uncle Seven must be careful, those evil people will most likely not let you go easily."

Yuan Dagong did not look back, but his tone was full of confidence.

"Don't worry, Sanlang, I have been an official for twenty years, and I am not powerless. I will not say that I will die if I die."

After saying that, the Tanhualang of the Great Zhou carried his hands and slowly disappeared into the night.

Lin Zhao was stunned on the side of the road for a while, then shook his head and went home. As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Xie hurriedly asked, "Where is Duke Yuan Da?"

"Go away."

Lin Zhao yawned: "Where can he stay here all the time?"

"Leave?"

Zhao Xie sweated on his forehead and said, "How come you didn't tell me in advance? He was leaving, but I hid in the house and didn't see him off. It was so rude."

"I'll send your share on your behalf."

Lin Jian gave this guy a blank look.

"You first go out and walk around with your injuries, and then lie in the bed for an extra month."

…………

A few days later, Lin Zhao made roughly a hundred movable type. He made a wooden frame, leveled the molds made of these jujubes, then brushed them with ink, pasted them with white paper, and printed the world's first finished movable type printing product.

But the result is not as perfect as Lin Zhao imagined.

First of all, the jujube wood blocks were not neat, and it was very difficult to level them. In addition, there was texture on the wood, and the ink he used was not specifically used for printing. Therefore, the first edition printed was not only blurred, and the layout was not particularly neat, so it could not achieve the quality of printed books at all.

However, this was the first test. Although it failed, Lin Zhao was not discouraged. He just found a bucket of tung oil, brushed all the jujube wood blocks with tung oil, and placed them in the ventilator to dry slowly.

After all this, Lin Zhao fell asleep on the floor where he was hit. He got up again the next morning and rushed to work at Sanyuan Bookstore.

After more than ten days of contact, Xie Sanyuan was very satisfied with this guy who looked good and knew how to settle accounts. He generously added 200 yuan to Lin Zhao a month, so Lin Zhao's wages would be six hundred yuan a month!

It is almost the same as the average salary in Yuezhou City.

At noon, Boss Xie’s daughter came to deliver the meal as usual.

At this time, Lin Zhao had been working as a clerk in Sanyuan Bookstore for half a month. He was always very curious about what the lady from the boss who came to deliver food every day, so he smiled and said to Xie Sanyuan: "Boss, what does your girl look like? I haven't seen her for more than ten days?"

This kid was finally exposed!

Wolf ambition!

Xie Sanyuan was secretly alert and said, "My girl was born with a leopard head and a ring of eyes, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist. She must scare you to death when she sees it!"

As he said that, he pushed Lin Zhao into the inner room of the book shop, and then went out to Xie Danran to pick up food by himself. After Xie Danran walked away, he called Lin Zhao out and the two of them sat together for food.

Lin Zhao was a young man after all. When Xie Sanyuan was still holding the knife, he had already put down the chopsticks in his hand, then looked at his boss and coughed.

"That... boss, I have something to discuss with you."

"What are your bad ideas?"

Xie Sanyuan immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and looked at Lin Zhao vigilantly.

"My daughter has been afraid of having sex since she was a child and never sees outsiders!"
