Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

After sending Wu Yong, Shi Qian and others away, Zhao Zhen called [Smiling Tiger] Zhu Fu and chef Li Xiaoer to discuss holding a banquet and invite all the heroes in the army and the heads and managers of each village to the banquet.

It was not a big deal, but the mulberries of the two willow trees in Xixi Village were edible.

Zhao Zhen had never thought that mulberries would be so productive. Ever since Zhao Ji said that there were a lot of mulberries growing on the two willow trees, now was the time to eat them. Zhao Zhen sent the farmhands to pass on the message, and Zhao Zhen took people to the old house to see Zhao Ji and others picking mulberries on the trees.

After watching for a while, he saw that everyone was carefully pinching the mulberries. Zhao Zhen estimated that these twenty or thirty young men would have to pick all the mulberries on the two trees before dark, so he went to the village to find Jin Dajian.

The book club was prepared years ago. With the efforts of Jin Dajian and a group of craftsmen, the "Three Character Classic Annotations" was finally completed. This book was brought by Zhao Zhen from the main world for enlightenment. Xiao Rang imitated Cai Xiang's regular script, and Jin Dajian personally carved it.

As for choosing Cai Xiang's calligraphy, it was Cai Xiang who absorbed the style of Yan's calligraphy, which was rigorous and vigorous, and had both square and round. He had the broad and generous style of Yan's regular script, and was known as the first regular script writer in the Song Dynasty. In addition, Xiao Rang was good at this book.

Zhao Zhen took over the first book in the county. He saw that the scripture had twelve characters per line in large characters, and the annotations had twenty-four characters per line in small characters. It was white, single-sided, and the words "Three Character Classic Annotations" were engraved on the book mouth, and the page number was engraved below. There was no fishtail, no border, and no preface. The end of the volume was titled "Zhao Zhen Compiled".

Book printing, luck +10

Zhao Zhen also looked around the workshop. There were all type carvers here, one group was making carved plates, and the other group was making movable type.

As for why they did both, it was Zhao Zhen's idea. After deciding to open a bookshop that day, everyone discussed and thought that movable type printing was the best.

After all, as long as you prepare enough individual movable type, you can assemble and disassemble the plates at any time, and you can reuse them, which is much more efficient and easy to store.

Zhao Zhen proposed woodblock printing: "Brothers, the books printed in the past have been mainly the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, and there are also famous works of various philosophers and sages, classics, history and collections. The content of these books is relatively fixed, and movable type printing cannot show its advantages in this case."

"On the contrary, woodblock printing is better. After all, the number of Chinese characters is huge, with more than 5,000 commonly used characters alone, and compared with movable type printing, woodblock printing has clearer handwriting."

"Movable type printing is not superior to these books printed in large quantities, but is better for small batches of books such as county annals, family trees, and village annals that only print dozens of copies. I have heard that in the far west, there are characters composed of 26 letters, which are movable type, and the combination is convenient and fast."

Zhao Zhen's words made the bookstore use both, using woodblocks for large quantities and preparing movable type. With more characters stored, it will be naturally convenient to print in the future.

For this reason, Zhao Zhen also consulted in the main world and found a rotary typesetting frame from a country of Yuan.

A large wheel with a diameter of about 7 feet and a wheel axle of about 3 feet high was made of light wood. The living characters were stored in the wheel in the order of rhyme. When using it, one person reads the character to be found, and the other person finds the character mold according to the rhyme of the Chinese character and arranges it in the printing frame.

Zhao Zhen looked at the "Three Character Classic Annotations" in his hand and praised it, and asked people to reward all the craftsmen with a golden melon seed. He asked the workshop craftsmen to speed up the printing of 1,000 copies, and he planned to take it back to the main world to test the waters. If it is feasible, this business can be done for a long time.

After finishing this matter, Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Jin Dajian, left the bookstore and did not go to the old house in Xixi Village, but returned to Baishi Manor.

But the farmhand came to report that a hero who called himself "Desperate Sanlang" Shi Xiu came to surrender.

Soon, Zhao Zhen returned to Baishi Manor.

Jiao Ting and Bao Xu were talking to this man on the parade ground. When Zhao Zhen saw him, he was leaning on a shoulder pole, wearing old clothes and dressed like a woodcutter, but he was a good-looking man. He was nine feet tall, with a face like a silver basin, eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes. Standing next to Jiao Ting and Bao Xu, he was very handsome.

When he saw Zhao Zhen, Shi Xiu fell to his knees and said, "My surname is Shi, my name is Xiu, and my ancestors are from Jiankang Prefecture in Jinling. I have learned some guns and sticks since I was a child. I have always been determined to help those who see injustice on the road. People call me "Desperate Sanlang"."

"I came to a foreign land with my uncle to sell sheep and horses, but my uncle died halfway. I lost my capital and could not return home. I lived in Jizhou selling firewood. I heard that the great official was recruiting talents a few days ago, so I came here to join him. I hope the great official will not abandon me and help me."

He is like a tiger in the mountains, and his temper is like adding fuel to the fire.

He is bold and resourceful, and he is rescued by people everywhere.

It was the first time that Zhao Zhen saw someone with so many professions. He quickly helped Shi Xiu up and said, "I need a hero like you to help me..."

Bao Xu said, "Your Excellency, I just had a fistfight with Jiao Ting. Shi Xiu saw the end and competed with me. His martial arts were really strong. I was not his opponent. I lost one move in 40 rounds."

Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard this. Bao Xu has now broken through to the fourth level 2. Although his level is not as good as Shi Xiu, his martial arts are not lower than Shi Xiu. I didn't expect that he would lose to Shi Xiu.

Zhao Zhen naturally knew that having high martial power did not necessarily mean victory. Shi Xiu had many professions and skills, especially the skill of self-sacrifice, which greatly improved his martial power during the battle. In addition, Bao Xu's punches and kicks were not as good as Shi Xiu's.

Zhao Zhen said, "It seems that Liangshan County will have another warrior." Having said this, he took Shi Xiu to the hall and sat down.

First, the fruit plate and wine were served, and Zhao Zhen held three cups in his hand. Then, Bao Xu and Jiao Ting accompanied them, and the four of them talked in the hall. Bursts of laughter were heard from time to time in the hall.
