I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

&8203; Wu Fei didn't hear anything for a long time, so he raised his head and glanced at Yang Yanzhao.

"Hurry up, didn't you see that I was still busy?"

Only then did Yang Yanzhao say: "Brother Wu, I went to visit the emperor yesterday."

"Well, what happened?"

"I reported you about the preparation of gunpowder. What the emperor means is that the general supervisor should send someone to take charge of this matter! As for the place, I have found it, and it is in an independent courtyard not far from the imperial city!"

"Oh, then have you ever considered that gunpowder is easy to explode?" Wu Fei paused and continued, "I remember, I told you about the characteristics of gunpowder. If you configure it, you need to find a place away from the crowd. As a result, you Come and tell me, are you at the root of the imperial city?"

Yang Yanzhao was speechless for a moment.

He said gruffly, "Then I'll go ask for instructions and find a remote place?"

"Go, don't delay my business!"

Only then did Yang Yanzhao leave.

Wu Fei squeezed the mud in his hands, and felt that the hardness was moderate, ready to use.

So he made the mud into small cubes of the same size, shaped like a personal seal.

Then, take out a special small knife and start trying to carve letters on one side of the square.

After several attempts, Wu Fei finally engraved a few simple characters on the square. Of course, these fonts are reversed.

Otherwise, the font will be reversed when printed.

After engraving more than a dozen small squares, Wu Fei lit a fire on the spot, put these characters into the fire, and dried them.

Half an hour passed, and Wu Fei carefully pushed aside the fire and picked out these small squares.

After these squares had cooled down, Wu Fei started to check them.

Contrary to expectations, only half of the dozen or so squares remained intact, and the other half were either cracked or deformed and unusable.

"It seems that movable type printing is not so easy to invent!" Wu Fei sighed secretly.

After a while, Wu Fei seemed to remember something.

right!It is "specialization in the art industry"!
There should be people who specialize in engraving seals in the Song Dynasty, and these things can be entrusted to them, why bother to figure out everything by yourself first!
Wu Fei felt that he was stunned before. What makes him smarter than the people of Song Dynasty is that he has a vision beyond their 1000 years, not his hands-on ability!
If you do everything yourself, don't exhaust yourself to death!
Wu Fei figured it out. With so many ideas in his mind, he could definitely recruit people and let them experiment!

If you can't recruit them, you can go to Liu Mei and Fatty Yao for help. If you can't, you can go to the princess or even Prince Zhao Heng. These people can be found.

He still doesn't believe it, a great Song Dynasty can't find a suitable person!

Therefore, Wu Fei stopped experimenting with using you as movable type.

He put away the few blocks of movable type that he had dried, and walked to his study.

As for the mud and other sundries on the road, there will naturally be servants from Wufu to clean up the mess.

Sitting in the study, Wu Fei asked someone to call the butler Wu Fu.

"Wu Fu, go find a few people who carve seals and come back, you can hire them for a long time, and the wages will increase by [-]% according to the market price!"

Wu Fu was stunned, his master is now more and more capable of tossing around, but since the master has an order, as a servant of the mansion, he will naturally do his best to fulfill this order.

So, he agreed and went outside to find someone.

Wu Fu recruited a craftsman and three apprentices, specializing in lettering.

Wu Fei met the four of them in the study.

"Let's make an introduction!" Wu Fei said lightly.

"Master Wu, I'm Du Da, everyone calls me Lao Du, these three are my apprentices!" the craftsman introduced.

"Oh, did Wu Fu discuss wages with you? Or how much wages do you want?"

Du Da thought for a while, and replied: "But according to the master's order!"

Wu Fei smiled, and said: "You are clever, how about this, I will not bully you, the monthly silver will be based on the market price, with a [-]% increase, one for you, and one for your three apprentices!"

Du Da was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, master!"

Seeing the three apprentices still standing there, he cursed: "Three idiots, don't hurry up and thank the master!"

Only then did Du Da's apprentice react, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

Wu Fei smiled and told them not to be too polite.

Then, Wu Fei told Du Da what he needed to do.

In view of the fact that the clay characters he made were too damaged, Wu Fei didn't plan to let them make clay characters again.

He wanted Du Da and others to change their thinking and use wood to carve movable type.

As for which kind of wood to choose and which one is more suitable for making movable type, they need to buy some different wood and come back to test.

Of course, Wu Fei also put forward some requirements. The price of this kind of wood must be suitable. You can't find rosewood to make movable type, that would be too extravagant.

Moreover, this kind of wood must be easily available and durable. Cork like paulownia is not suitable for use.

After finishing his request, Wu Fei asked Wu Fu to take them out.

As for the subsequent signing of the employment contract and the payment of wages to buy wood, there is no need for Wu Fei to worry about it.

In addition, since they were recruited by Wu Fu, Wu Fei was not worried about whether they were professional or not.

What Wu Fei needs to pay attention to is their progress and when they will complete the tasks they assigned.

After assigning the work, Wu Fei found that he was free again.

He took the textbooks for junior high school and began to compile textbooks suitable for Song Dynasty.

I have been busy every day, and this matter has been procrastinated like this, and it has never been completed.

The next day, Wu Fei asked Wu Fu to take him to the place where Du Da and others carved.

In a large room, there are all kinds of wood piled up, including paulownia, pine, jujube, toon, and many woods that Wu Fei doesn't know.

Seeing Wu Fei walking in, Du Da stood up quickly.

"Master, you are here!"

He looked back, and saw that his three apprentices were still engraving characters, and couldn't help but get angry. These three guys really have no eyesight.

He stretched his legs back and kicked one of the disciples.

Only when the apprentice said "ah", did he notice that it was Wu Fei who had come in.

He hurriedly pulled the other two people down, and the three of them saluted Wu Feifei together.

Wu Fei was a little funny. He felt that these people had that kind of spirit and could immerse themselves in it.

So, he waved his hand and let the three of them do whatever they wanted.

"Old Du, how many kinds of wood have you tried?"

"I've tried several types. Relatively speaking, pine and fir are good, and their hardness is also suitable for carving!"

"There are results so soon?" Wu Fei asked in surprise.

"Thanks to your blessing, sir, it is your guidance."

Wu Fei laughed out loud, he thought this Du Da was really interesting, he didn't look like a carver, but a businessman.
