Wang Erniu has been struggling for a long time to have such a meal, and today, he finally achieved it.
When she put down her chopsticks, tears filled the corners of Zhou's eyes.
Early the next morning.
Wang Erniu said goodbye to his family, and with anticipation, he took the tools he usually used and hurried to Laiguo Duke's Mansion.
"When you arrive at Duke Lai's residence, don't say anything or ask anything. Just work hard with the second young master. There are not many good people like the second young master these days!"
On the occasion of parting, Zhou's sincere words seemed to still linger in my ears.
Arriving at the furniture factory, Wang Erniu found that the other three people had not arrived yet, but the second young master Du He and the housekeeper Lao Fu were already in the yard.
Wang Erniu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Du He asked with a smile: "Your name is Wang Erniu, right? How about it? Have you discussed it with your family?"
Wang Erniu patted his chest and said: "Second Young Master, we have made arrangements. Let alone two months, even two years, I am willing to stay."
Thinking that the meat and fruits he bought for five cents yesterday made the two children so excited that they didn't fall asleep until midnight, Wang Erniu felt that it was worth it no matter how hard and tired he was.
Du He saw that although Wang Erniu was simple and honest, he was smart, so he smiled and said: "Look what you said, it's only two months. After two months, if you are still willing to stay, not only can you go home, but you can also stay every month
You can still rest for three days."
Wang Erniu was so excited that he was speechless after hearing this.
In these days and months, can we still rest while working?
This is the first time I've heard of it.
Not long after, the other three people arrived.
The three of them also went back to discuss it, and of course their families fully supported it.
Du He stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, now that we're here, let's sign the confidentiality contract."
The old man took out the contract and asked the three of them to sign it.
Du He added: "Remember the terms of the contract, but if you violate them, you will be beheaded."
Several people nodded hurriedly.
Later, Du He brought the four people into a room.
I saw that there were already two fully armed guards from the Duke's Palace guarding the door. Anyone entering or leaving the room in the future would need to be inspected, and no one else could enter.
Come to the room.
I saw a large pile of clay already piled up in the corner, said to be clay.
Du He took out a piece of paper and said: "This is the basic principle of movable type printing. Take a look at it first. Using this technology, I can defeat the entire booksellers in the Tang Dynasty in less than half a year."
Wang Erniu and others saw it and were extremely shocked.
Everyone is relatively familiar with printing books. The most direct method is engraving. Every time a book is printed, an engraving needs to be made. A book of one hundred pages means one hundred engravings. Once a word is damaged,
, it is necessary to make a new engraving, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But movable type printing involves carving individual characters on clay. After firing, they can be combined according to the printed content.
Of course, in order to be used enough, some characters may require more than a dozen movable types to be printed on one page, while rare characters only require one or two.
Wang Erniu suddenly knelt down and said: "Second Young Master, even if someone holds a knife to my neck, I will not reveal the movable type printing technique in the slightest."
When the other three craftsmen saw it, they hurriedly knelt down and began to swear.
Everyone now understands why we need to sign a confidentiality contract.
This thing has a subversive impact on traditional engraving and printing, especially booksellers.
Once leaked, the losses will be immeasurable.
Du He waved his hand and told everyone to get up, and said nonchalantly: "It's not as serious as you said, it's just a technique. Others will figure it out sooner or later. What we have to do is to get ahead of others and do it first."
Let’s talk about making a fortune. Okay, no problem, let’s start working right away. After five days, I hope to see the finished product. In view of the lack of manpower, all these processes need to be done by a few of you. This is what I
A list of movable type that I compiled overnight.”
The list of movable type in Du He's hand was compiled based on the "Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" in his hand. There were more than ten or twenty movable types of many commonly used characters, which was enough to print a copy of "Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Fortunately, the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was published in traditional Chinese, which saved Du He a lot of trouble.
After the movable type printing operation started, Du He had some time to take a look at the production of swivel chairs. The skills of the ten craftsmen were becoming more and more perfect, and they could produce forty swivel chairs every day.
However, Du He knew that it would not be easy for these chairs to be finally launched and accepted by people.
…
Deep inside the palace.
Two little lolita are sitting in the pavilion.
It is Princess Li Yuanshu of Runan and Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
Li Yuanshu held a piece of paper in her hand, and the content on the paper was exactly this: Li Bai wrote a hundred poems about drinking wine, and went to sleep in a restaurant in Chang'an City; the emperor couldn't get on the ship after being summoned, so he claimed that he was a wine fairy.
"The emperor couldn't get on the boat... This Du He, is this the reason why he looks down on this princess?" Li Yuanshu said, her little mouth pouted.
Li Lizhi curled her lips: "Humph, sister, how long has it been? Are you still thinking about that consort who ran away from marriage? That guy is so abominable that he dared to run away from marriage. Look, several days have passed, and there is no one."
I went to ask my father about the news, but he didn’t say anything. It’s really annoying. Sister, why don’t we just marry him? You see, we have many young talents in Chang’an, such as Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai.
, Qin Huaiyu, none of these are worse than that guy Du He."
Li Yuanshu looked a little unnatural, shook her head and said: "Li Zhi, you don't understand, marriage is such a trivial matter! Maybe Du He has some unspeakable secrets in doing this."
"Bah, to be able to marry a princess is because the ancestral tomb of Duke Lai is smoking. What qualifications does Du He have to escape from marriage? It's really unreasonable... Sister, staying in this palace is quite boring. Why don't we go out for a walk?
By the way, I'm going to teach Du He a lesson. Huh, I heard that he even brought his eldest brother here. This time, let's settle old and new grudges together." Li Lizhi, an eccentric person, suddenly came up with an idea.
After hearing this, Li Yuanshu became interested. The two hit it off and immediately planned to leave the palace.
…
On this day, Du He finished washing and was going to see the revolving chair and printing.
As soon as I went out, I saw the old man rushing over, shouting: "It's not good, it's not good, Second Young Master, something big has happened..."
Seeing that the old housekeeper was out of breath, Du He asked calmly: "Old man, why are you so panicked? Is the sky falling?"
The old man stepped forward, supported the pillar and stood still, then said: "Second Young Master, it's not good, someone smashed our furniture factory. A dozen of the revolving wooden chairs that were just produced yesterday were smashed.
