Seeing that his elder brother understood what he wanted to do, Chen Mu picked up a piece of wood and said, "Brother, I will have to trouble you with the engraving."
Chen Jianghe is not stupid either. He understands very well what it means to create the wooden movable type that Chen Mu mentioned. This will be a move that can subvert an industry.
Chen Muchai was about to enter the room, but Chen Jianghe thought for a while and turned around and asked: "But...if we make this thing, wouldn't the entire Longxia scholar lose their livelihood?"
In the past few years when he opened a bookstore in the city, many scholars came to him to copy books. Most of the scholars were proud, and no scholar would do the disgraceful business of copying books.
Most of the people who can do this are poor people who have never even passed the boyhood exam.
Their bodies were weak and their shoulders were weak. Even taking the imperial examination required a lot of money. The book copying industry could be said to be their main way to make money.
In Chen Jianghe's eyes, this is undoubtedly a desperate way to survive.
"There are so many people in the world, and most of them are born to play the role of prey, just like the animals in the forest. Some animals are born to be hunted. This is the law of the great road."
"Is this... going too far?"
Hearing that his elder brother thought it was wrong to do this, Chen Mu frowned and just said softly.
"If you and I could have done something wrong earlier and had money to buy medicine, maybe our parents would not have died. If you really don't want to be poor for the rest of your life, just do it. At worst, I will bear the consequences."
After Chen Mu looked at Chen Jianghe and said this, he entered the room.
Chen Mu didn't think anything about this. For a businessman, especially a successful businessman, his piles of wealth are definitely filled with human blood.
It can be seen that even if you are born in the mother's belly, you have to compete with billions of people. What's more, now that you are born in the world, either people eat me, or I eat people. This is the law of the jungle!
After the eldest brother finished eating, he finally started making wooden movable type with the unused wood. People are human after all, and it is impossible to escape from negative thoughts such as greed and selfishness.
As for Chen Mu, he began to classify the words in the book. Although he wrote tens of thousands of words, most of the words were used many times and there was no need to compile so many words.
After working like this for a whole afternoon, until it was almost dark, Chen Mu finally finished the classification, which was about 4,000 words.
Then I specially told my elder brother not to tell others what I was doing by making this thing, not even people in the village.
An emerging thing is only the most profitable in its initial stages. If someone discovers and imitates it, it will be impossible for Chen Mu to adopt a low-price strategy.
When everything was ready, everyone went back to their respective rooms.
The house was still built according to the original structure of the old house, except that an extra room for the eldest brother was built. Even though the open space next to his side was much flatter, the room for the eldest brother was still built at the other end.
There is a main room separated by it, so it is not difficult to imagine that this girl Liu Si did it on purpose. After all, the sound insulation effect of the farmhouse is not very good.
This time, a lot of furniture, chairs, desks and cabinets were added. Now Chen Mu no longer needs to sit on the bed and read as before.
The conditions are good, but at this moment I still can't read a word of Zhongyong.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Si wiped his whole body with a towel in the corner, and then poured water from the basin on his body, soaking his whole body in an instant.
The bath water flowed out along the cracks in the wall. When I looked at Chen Si, my whole body was in front of my eyes, and the water mist continued to rise and disperse all over my body. The so-called "water lotus" is probably the four words to describe this scene.
Chen Mu held a book in one hand, but his eyes seemed to be slanted, not reading the book to look at the scenery.
If the woman in front of him was only for satisfying physical needs, Chen Mu would never have lost his composure, but now that love was gradually growing in his heart, his lower abdomen felt as if there were hundreds of thousands of ants scratching it, and it was extremely turbulent.
And for some reason, Liu Si now seems to have taken hormones. His whole body has become plumper and his face has begun to become plumper and fairer.
Chen Mu thought about it for a long time and felt that the most appropriate word to describe it was "you are big."
Liu Si obviously noticed Chen Mu's strange expression, wiped off the water stains on his body, then went straight to Chen Mu and sat on him.
Before Chen Mu had time to react, Liu Si leaned against him and whispered, "There are a lot of blankets on the couch. They are quite thick. Your knees should not hurt when you kneel on them."
"I……"
Chen Mucai hugged him and stood up, but suddenly thought of the Tianzhu Festival. Looking at the silky eyebrows in his arms, he said: "Tomorrow is the Tianzhu Festival. You haven't been back to your parents' home for five years. How about you go?"
Did your mother’s family live?”
After hearing this, Liu Si's expression suddenly became complicated, as if he was thinking about the past.
It can be seen that not only was she kicked out of her ex-husband's home a few years ago, but her father was also unwilling to take her in. The reason is shocking.
His father and brother were both talented scholars who passed the college examination. Although he did not know the specific situation, Liu Si told them that their family was very famous in the village and was known as the Liu family's double talent.
Naturally, a daughter who was known as a widow was not allowed to go home and ruin the family name, so the relationship between father and daughter was directly severed.
"Since we won't let you go back, then we can live on our own."
Liu Si pondered for a long time, but still shook her head: "Before I left the cabinet, my mother was very good to me. I want to go home and see her."
"In that case, I will go to the city tomorrow to buy some things. I don't want the best, but the most expensive. At least let your father know that you are doing pretty well now, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Sim's eyebrows suddenly opened, and then she kissed Chen Mu hard: "My husband is so kind to me... take advantage of the night to get late... go and kneel down on the cave?"
Liu Si's fingertips kept moving around Chen Mu's chest.
The next moment, Chen Mu hugged her up with both hands, but did not blow up the lamp, but walked straight out of the door.
"Why are you going outside? Let me down, I'm so embarrassed!"
"Haha, I actually like cornfields. Going to the fields..."
It was a stormy night, and when Chen Mu woke up, Liu Si was already busy in the kitchen. It was only half hour now, and I have to say that this girl was in great spirits.
When getting up on the Tianzhu Festival, the whole family would like to congratulate each other. The eldest brother just got up and gave himself a blessing.
As for Liu Si, she made something called cake crumbs for breakfast. It tasted very sweet. It was said that eating this stuff would bring good luck.
After eating, the eldest brother took the wood to find Carpenter Zhang, while Liu Si took some money and went to Yelang City to buy things first.
She heard that her home was outside the south gate of the city, very close to Yelang City, so she asked Liu Si to wait for him at the south gate after he finished shopping.
As for Chen Mu, Xunsi's mother's family was from a scholarly family. Taking advantage of this holiday, preparing a special gift might help ease the relationship between Liu Si and his father's eldest brother.
A piece of rice paper was laid out in front of the table. After thinking about it, Chen Mu took a pencil and started tracing on it in detail.
Around the end of Si Shi, Chen Mu came to Yelang City. Passing by some market teahouses, he could still hear many people talking about him.
Of course, most of them were derogatory words about him, saying that he was unlucky and that the county magistrate did not understand elegance. They just had the same chemistry.
How unbalanced are these people when they are robbed of the limelight by a scoundrel like themselves.
But what Chen Mu wants is this effect. Even if he has a bad reputation, as long as he is famous and used properly, he can make money. He only hopes that the movable type for printing "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be produced soon.
