In Jinyang Bookstore, several experienced craftsmen are carving metal plates made of smelted lead and tin.
The texture of this thing is much softer than copper, but it is many times more wear-resistant than Sentou. This is the reason why Jinyang Bookstore can greatly reduce costs.
At this moment, what they were carving was of course not words, but pictures used in the brochures and operating manuals that Master Xu and the others had copied.
For large propaganda posters, we will directly find someone to copy them and put them up now.
After being reduced and carved, these will be specially used to produce publicity and operation manuals for barrow breeding.
The size of each painting is equivalent to the size of a page of a book in this era, so it can be bound into a book.
There were already several carved lead and tin plates placed in front of him. Cheng Chubi picked up the metal carving plates, picked up the brush next to them and applied some ink on them.
Then he picked up a piece of Chengjia paper, covered it, pressed it gently, and then turned it around again...
Cheng Chubi saw his sharp and ruthless expression, holding a scalpel in his hand, as if he was a criminal.
Next to them, Li Ke and Fang Jun burst into laughter.
"Ouch...Brother Chu Bi, this really looks like you. Look at the sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and the aura of killing people without blinking an eye. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Cheng Chubi was too lazy to pay attention to these two guys who were smiling like burning dogs, so he called the steward Cheng Tian to ask.
Previously, the manager of Jinyang Bookstore was Cheng Ping from the old Cheng family, but Uncle Ping needed this ruthless old driver for various external affairs of the old Cheng family.
Finally, Cheng Tian, the second eldest of the four brothers who work for heaven, came to take charge of the work.
Since the beautiful little cutie Princess Jinyang became the major shareholder, the Princess Jinyang Palace sent an accountant to manage the income and expenditure here.
Of course, this must be the handiwork of the stingy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wu Li Ke, these two brothers have never sent anyone to the Jinyang Printing House. They just sit quietly and wait for dividends.
Cheng Tian answered all questions and told Cheng Chubi that it would take at least two or three days to complete all the carvings and test printing of these paintings.
After appraising the days, Cheng Chubi nodded with satisfaction.
"Remember, August 26th is set as the day when the new issue of "Chang'an Xunbao" will be released.
At that time, some illustrations can be printed in newspapers to remind the people of Chang'an to maintain the popularity.
In addition, on the 27th, at least 30,000 copies of the propaganda brochure must be printed. At least 20,000 copies of the brochure will be enough."
"Don't worry, good Third Young Master. The villain will definitely supervise them and work overtime. He will definitely not miss the important things of Third Young Master."

"Chang'an Collected Works" was not published on time, but a special issue was published to celebrate the prince's gift of a hundred pigs and a banquet for the people.
However, this special issue still costs five cents, compared with the full content of "Chang'an Xun Bao".
In addition to a dry article reminding the people of Chang'an City to remember to go to the east and west cities on August 28th to attend the prince's banquet to give a hundred pigs to the people.
There is no other content to enjoy, which makes those readers who originally wanted to spend money to curse "Chang'an Collected Works Special Edition" as simply falling into the eyes of money and unable to get out.
After receiving the news about the sale of "Chang'an Collected Works Special Issue", the housekeeper Li Eunuch could only rush to King Wei's dormitory early in the morning to wait.
After Li Tai was woken up, he heard some vague hints from the housekeeper Eunuch Li, and couldn't help but feel angry.
I have already made concessions for my father's imperial edict, but even the "Special Issue of Chang'an Collected Works" only contains content about the Banquet of Ten Thousand People.
It cost money to print it, but the result was not happy, and I was scolded by those blind things that I was blinded by money.
Li Tai was so angry that his lips began to tremble.
"It's okay if you don't buy these bastard things, but they still criticize them like this. It's simply unreasonable."
"Your Highness, please calm down. What should we do next? Should we lower the price even further?"
"Reducing the price?" Li Tai couldn't help but glared at the housekeeper, Eunuch Li, with an unhappy look on his face.
"Even those pieces of broken paper cost me almost a thousand guan. That's a thousand guan, not a thousand pieces of blank paper..."
I complained angrily and saw the steward Li Eunuch standing in front of me tremblingly without daring to say a word.
Recalling what Mr. Jiang reminded him of, Li Tai couldn't help but feel sad for a while and could only wave his hands dejectedly.
"That's all. It's all for nothing. It's all for nothing. Just give it to the head office. Get out quickly. I still need to rest."
After saying these words, Li Tai turned around and fell back on the couch again.
Eunuch Li, the steward, agreed respectfully and walked out of the dormitory quietly. Soon, he heard the familiar snoring sound...
For the special issue of "Chang'an Collected Works", after being scolded, it was changed to a free copy of five copies, but it was not praised.
On the contrary, he was called a bitch by some good people, but naturally no one would pass these words to Wei King Li Tai.

"I said how can pork be delicious? It turns out that it has been castrated..."
"Can castrated pigs taste good? You've never eaten them, how do you know?"
"Who says I haven't tasted it? That time I went to Cheng's Restaurant with some classmates and tasted the Dongpo Pork cooked there. The taste was simply unparalleled."
"The fat meat will melt in your mouth, but the thin meat will be fragrant and glutinous without being sticky at all."
"When we asked the store clerk, he said it was castrated pork. Of course we didn't believe it. We thought it was some kind of special mutton, but we didn't expect it to be real pork."
"No wonder this place is hosted and organized by Cheng's Restaurant. Doesn't that mean that we can also have a taste of those castrated pigs?"
"Haha, you are willing to go and eat in public, but I won't go.
I’m still waiting for the day when there will be a discount at Chengjia Restaurant in Dongshi, so I can have a good meal.”
These comments are naturally made by those scholars who consider themselves to be of noble status.
As for the people in the market, they were very colorful. People who knew the news quickly went to call their friends and greet everyone.
Remember that on August 28th, you can eat and drink for free in the east and west markets, but it is best not to eat the night before.
Cheng Chubi didn't know this at all, he just continued to solve all the problems step by step.
I took a look and found that today was only August 25th, which happened to be the day I went to work at the Imperial Medical Office.
I originally didn't want to bring Li Ke and Fang Jun with me, but these two guys insisted on coming forward shamelessly. What else could I say.
Cheng Chubi had no choice but to lead the two brothers to the Imperial Medical Office early in the morning.
Then, after arriving at the small courtyard that belonged to Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi sipped the tea handed to him by Deng Chengxin and asked him to keep the bamboo sign.
"Come on, come on, let's just be idle. Let's play a few cards and relax."
