Chapter 4 Movable Type Printing
On the swaying carriage, Hu Su was leaning against the carriage and dozing off. After all, he didn't get a good night's sleep before the examination.Yao Yi didn't sleep, since he was transformed by the big light ball, three or four hours of sleep a day is enough.He is now thinking about how to earn his first pot of gold, after all, he still owes money.

First of all, I would like to thank the many time travel novels. There are many ways to make money mentioned in the novels. Although they may not be effective, they are also references.Now that I am a child, this is my advantage, but I have no capital. Fortunately, there is a rich second generation next to me who can help me.

Soap glass is two badly written things, but I don’t know how to do it myself, and I can’t be noticed by the world consciousness, so I can’t.I can't remember writing the storybook, and I don't have the skills to cook food. After thinking about it, Yao Yi began to wonder if he is a waste.

"I'm only worth a lot of money as a person right now. Why don't I learn from the male protagonist of urban novels and start a cram school with the top scorer in the college entrance examination? But who am I lying to like a fool!"

"Crack." The carriage overwhelmed a rock, waking Hu Su who was dozing off, and he looked around in confusion with his two small eyes.Seeing that Yao Yi was frowning and thinking about something, he didn't care. He found a few books from the box next to him and used them as pillows, and lay curled up in the carriage.

"Yuhua, Yuhua." Yao Yi seemed to have remembered something, and shook Hu Su awake.

"Ah, ah, what's the matter." Hu Su sat up abruptly.

"Did you tell me before that your father found a lot of articles from people who were previously selected for you?"

"Ah, yes."

"How many articles are there?"

"Forty or fifty articles, my father asked an acquaintance to copy the articles from the Yangzhou government treasury."

"Okay, Yuhua, tell me if we can make a fortune by publishing this article into a book." Yao Yi was a little excited. This tutorial book is very profitable. Although he just came up with an idea, he can get a creative fee.

"My father said no." Hu Su's words seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Yao Yi's head.

"My father said that he spent [-] guan for these articles. If he wants to publish them, he needs to find someone to clear up the relationship before they can be published. It is estimated that it will cost another [-] guan. You can only get back your money if you do it twice, and some people like to copy it privately, so they will definitely lose money." Hu Su stretched his waist and said.

"The labor is so expensive?" Yao Yi just finished speaking, suddenly remembered Shen Kuo's movable type printing, which seems to have not been invented yet.

"I don't know that, but my dad said so."

"Then do you have a bookstore at home?"

"Yes, if you want to see it, I can take you to see it."

"This block needs to be engraved every time a book is printed, which is really troublesome." Yao Yi was talking to the old craftsman of Hu's Bookshop.This is also helpless. Although movable type printing has appeared, it has not been implemented on a large scale. The scholar Yao Yi should not know about it, so he can only try to guide the craftsmen's ideas in that direction.

"Officer, this method is already the simplest of all methods." The old craftsman blinked, not knowing what the young official meant.

"Think about it, this engraving block divides the book into pages, see if it can be divided into characters." Yao Yi almost made it clear.

"The official is joking, isn't that more troublesome?" The old craftsman obviously didn't react.

"It was a little troublesome at first, but later on, you don't need to engrave it anymore, you just need to find the corresponding characters." Yao Yi continued impatiently, there is no way, although the old craftsman can read, but in fact But I have never read a book, and I have always worked according to the method passed down by my master, and I have never thought of improving it in the past.

"The official means that to print a new book, you only need to find out the words, and you don't need to re-carve the template." The young man behind the old craftsman said.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means. What do you think?" Yao Yi was overjoyed. As expected, young people are more receptive to new things and willing to use their brains at any time.

"I'll give it a try." The young man turned his head to find a few pieces of wood, sat there by himself, and carved a few characters quickly with the carving knife in his hand.Yao Yi also arranged for someone to find paper and ink. The young craftsman glued several molds with ink, pressed them on the paper, and a few words were clearly printed on the paper.

"It's really possible." Hu Su said in surprise.

Yao Yi looked around vigilantly, and there was nothing unusual for a long time. Although he knew before that as long as the technology or idea is not too advanced, it will not attract the attention of the world consciousness, but he was relieved to confirm it.

"Do you think that the cost will drop in this way?" Yao Yi asked the young craftsman.

"A piece of engraving is very valuable. If this method can be used, the profit of the bookstore will increase by at least [-]%, and the speed will increase. But if the scale of the bookstore is small, the use will not be so obvious." The young craftsman replied after thinking for a while .

"Okay, I'll trouble you to come with us when Master Hu comes back." Yao Yi said to the young craftsman.

"Yuan Qian, I really have you. I'll ask someone to find my father now." Speaking of which, Master Hu was not in the mansion when they came back, and Hu Su directly dragged Yao Yi to the bookstore. He hadn't seen Master Hu yet. .

As soon as he said this, a middle-aged rich man came to the door.Yao Yi sized it up and realized that the small eyes were his own without an identification.The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he saw Hu Su from a distance, and he walked over at a faster pace.

"Father, I won the No. 30 seventh place. Now your son is also a candidate." Hu Su said excitedly when he saw his father.

"Hahaha, good son, you really look good to me." Although Master Hu had already heard the young man say it, but now he heard his son say it, he still couldn't help being a little excited. He walked up to Hu Su and looked him up and down a few times. He patted Hu Su's shoulder hard.

"Father, this is Yao Yi and Yao Yuanqian, so he took the exam with me. He is No. 4 in the provincial high school exam." Hu Su introduced Yao Yi.

"I've met Master Hu." Yao Yi saluted Master Hu.

"Hahaha, nephew, you're being polite." Master Hu was in a good mood, but his eyes could not be seen on his face, only two slits remained.

"Father, do you know that Yuan Qian is really powerful." Hu Su told Mr. Hu about how Yao Yi improved the printing technique. He was able to raise [-]% of the profit and asked him to go down and try a few more times, and then said to Yao Yi:

"How did my nephew think of it? It really helped me a lot."

"Master Hu is being polite. I thought of it by accident. It wouldn't be possible without that young craftsman." Yao Yi said modestly.

"Nephew is polite, but I can't be ignorant of what's good. If this method can really increase my bookstore's profits by [-]%, then I'll give my nephew [-]% dry shares plus two hundred coins. What do you think?" Master Hu said with a smile.

Yao Yi really wants to agree directly now, after all, he doesn't have any money on him now, but the human design cannot be collapsed.

"That's too little, Dad, Yuan Qian is my friend, don't overdo it." Hu Su just stepped up.

"Yuhua, Mr. Hu has already given you a lot. I just came up with an idea." Yao Yi said.

"The virtuous nephew agrees? Well, let's talk about it then." Master Hu took the words and settled the matter.
