After the sale, the new shopkeeper was very honest. Although Li Xuanba was young, he followed Li Xuanba’s instructions and did not express his opinions.
Li Xuanba asked the servant to bring a small box, and after opening it, it was a strange toy the size of a palm.
This toy is a shelf. There are two boards on the shelf.
Li Xuanba erected the toy rack and took off the board on it: “Installing the carved plate on this shelf, there are also inkjet and ink brushing mechanisms. Using this trick, you can reduce the work intensity of the craftsmen and print more books a day.”
Li Xuanba asked for a small piece of paper to demonstrate to everyone.
Yang Zhao said curiously: “Li Sanlang, where did you see this?”
Li Xuanba said nonsense: “I saw it from a storybook. I tried it, it really works.”
He naturally learned it from where he worked in his previous life.
His parents in his previous life took out loans and borrowed a large amount of money from relatives and friends to go abroad for leisure. The grandparents who raised him were angry to death. He dropped out of school during the winter vacation of his senior year and started working to pay back the money.
He was only seventeen years old at that time. At that time, good working professions like “delivery boy” were not popular, and he was blocked by people from debt collection companies and was not allowed to go far, so he could only start with odd jobs.
Going to an old printing factory in the county to print test papers for the school was the first job he found with the help of his class teacher.
The old factory manager who took him especially likes all kinds of old-fashioned printing machines and often plays with models of various old-fashioned printing machines.
He later helped the old factory manager open an online store, specializing in selling various printing press models.
The old factory manager made money and gave him 50,000 yuan with kindness.
At this moment, Ultimate was arrested by the crackdown on gangsters. He spent 40,000 yuan to pay off some of the debts, gained the trust of his creditors, and finally left his hometown, and set out on the way to the southern coastal city with the remaining 10,000 yuan.
So even though he traveled through time, he still remembered how to make the old-fashioned printing press model.
Just a model, it is certainly not as exquisite as a real old-fashioned printing press. But old-fashioned printing machines are handmade machinery and there is no special technical threshold. There are skilled craftsmen in the Duke of Tang Dynasty’s Mansion. Li Xuanba can figure it out and make a simple version.
But now he has only brought out a super simple printing machine that can reduce the physical burden of woodblock printing, and it is not even considered a printing machine.
He is still a child and cannot come up with too exquisite techniques in one breath. Furthermore, because there are too many Chinese characters and the literacy rate of craftsmen is not high, and when printing Buddhist scriptures, Confucian scriptures, etc. only requires a large number of repeated printing plates, woodblock printing is better used.
After his brother became emperor, he dared to show off the old-fashioned printing press of ink lead movable type.
The old-fashioned printing press does not contain much technologyquantity. In the era of manual machinery, the renewal of manual machinery is nothing but “not thinking in this direction”.
The craftsmen in the workshop are not only responsible for printing, but also for carving and some woodworking work. After Li Xuanba took out the model, the printers in the workshop immediately realized the use of this model.
At this time, the tax system was a “rental system” and the management of trade industryists was very strict. Most handicraftsmen are managed by the government, and there are not many private handicraftsmen, and most of them are the shadow of nobles behind them.
The handicraft products needed by the noble bureaucrats can either be obtained directly from the hands of the government through salary, or are made by craftsmen in their own palace.
Nowadays, slavery is prevalent, and people with good craftsmanship are willing to sell themselves to the nobles for a stable life. The craftsmen at the workshop and the craftsmen Li Xuanba had sought advice in the mansion were both slaves to the Duke of Tang’s mansion. So Li Xuanba casually took out the simple “printing machine” without worrying about spreading it out.
Chai Shao and Yang Zhao did not take the “toys” made by this child seriously, but when they heard the excited discussions of the craftsmen, they realized that this thing might be more useful than they imagined.
In addition to drinking Chai Shao’s wedding banquet when Yang Zhao returned to Daxing this time, there was another reason.
When he vaguely persuaded Gao Yang to take a step back, he ran into Gao Yang and Yu Wen Bizheng about Li Xuanba’s request to print the Confucian scriptures they marked.
Li Xuanba’s reason is that woodblock printing can quickly print many books, but people only use it to print Buddhist scriptures. Although Buddhist scriptures lead people to be kind, they also lead people to be born, and they are foreign scriptures. We should learn more about Confucianism in our scholars.
Although Emperor Wen of Sui believed in Buddhism, he also vigorously promoted the Confucian scriptures. Although most scholars practice Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, they may have some indescribable Legalism, military strategists, etc., after experiencing the indulgence of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, sober scholars began to regain the orthodox Confucianism and tried to integrate traditional Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into a new Confucianism, sages.
