Chapter 237 Bookshop Shi Xiu


Chapter 237 Bookshop Shi Xiu

Sending Wu Yong, Shi Qian and others away, Zhao Zhen called [Smiling Tiger] Zhu Fu and chef Li Xiaoer to discuss hosting a banquet and inviting all the heroes in the army. , the officials and stewards of each village have a banquet.

It’s not a big deal, it’s true that the two cypress trees in Xixi Village are now edible.

Zhao Zhen never expected that Liu Bian would be so productive. Ever since I heard from Zhao Ji, there are a lot of willow pods growing on the two willow trees, and now is the time to eat them. Zhao Zhen sent out villagers from the village to deliver orders to various places. Zhao Zhen himself took people to the old house to watch Zhao Ji and others go up the tree to pick willow berries.

After looking at it, he saw that everyone was picking willow branches carefully. Zhao Zhen estimated that it would take only twenty or thirty young men to pick all the willow branches from these two trees before dark. , went to the village to find Jin Dajian.

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

As for the choice of Cai Xiang’s calligraphy, Cai Xiang absorbed the style of Yan Kai’s calligraphy, which is rigorous, powerful, square and round, and has Yan Kai’s broad and generous spirit. He is known as the first regular script writer in the Song Dynasty. In addition, Xiao Rang is good at this book.

Zhao Zhen took over the first book in the county and saw only twelve characters in large characters for scriptures and twenty-four characters in small characters for annotations. The mouth was blank and the edges were unilateral. The edge of the book was engraved with "Annotations to the Three-Character Sutra" Typeface, page number engraved below, no tail, no boundary column, and no orderly postscript. The title at the end of the volume is "Zhao Zhen compiled".

Book printing, luck +10.

Zhao Zhen also took a look at the workshop. There were calligraphy craftsmen here, one making engravings and the other making movable type.

As for why he did both, it was Zhao Zhen’s idea. After it was decided to build a bookshop that day, after everyone discussed it, they all felt that movable type printing would be the best option.

After all, in movable type printing, as long as enough single movable type is prepared, it can be combined and disassembled at any time, and it can be reused. It is much more efficient and easy to store.

Zhao Zhen proposed engraving printing: "Brothers, the printed books have always been mainly the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism. In addition, there are also famous works of sages and classics and historical collections. The content of these books is relatively fixed. In this kind of Under such circumstances, movable type printing cannot show its advantages."

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

"Movable type printing does not have an advantage over these mass-printed books. On the contrary, it is better for small-volume books such as county annals, genealogy, and village annals that only print a few dozen copies. I have heard that in the far west, there are written It is composed of twenty-six letters, using movable type, which is easy and fast to assemble."

Zhao Zhen said that he wanted the bookstore to use both, use engravings in large quantities, and prepare movable type. If there are more of them, it will be easier to print in the future.

For this reason, Zhao Zhen still consulted in the main world and found a wheel typesetting frame from a country in the Yuan Dynasty.

Use light wood to make a large wheel with a diameter of about 7 feet and a wheel axis with a height of about 3 feet. Inside the wheel, the characters are stored in phonological order. When using it, one person reads out the characters to be found, and the other person finds the character patterns according to the phonology of the Chinese characters and sorts them in the printing frame.

Zhao Zhen looked at the "Anthology of the Three Character Classic" in his hand and praised it, and then asked all the craftsmen to be rewarded with a golden melon seed. He asked the craftsmen in the workshop to print a thousand copies, and he planned to take it back to the main world to test the water. If it works, this business can continue for a long time.

After finishing this matter, Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Jin Dajian, left the bookstore and returned to Baishi Manor without going to the old house in Xixi Village.

But it was Zhuang Ding who came to report, and a hero who called himself [Desperate Saburo] Shi Xiu came to report.

After a while, Zhao Zhen returned to Baishi Mansion.

Jiao Ting and Bao Xu were talking to this man on the school ground. When Zhao Zhen looked at him, he saw that although the man was carrying a pole, wearing old clothes and dressed as a woodcutter, he was a good-looking man and was nine feet tall. , the face is like a silver basin, the eyebrows go into the temples, and the eyes are beautiful. Standing next to Jiao Ting and Bao Xu, there is a sense of coolness.

When he met Zhao Zhen, Shi Xiu knelt down and said, "My surname is Shi and my last name is Xiu. My ancestral home is from Jiankang Prefecture in Jinling. I have been carrying some guns and sticks since elementary school. He has been determined all his life, and the road is rough, but if he goes to help, everyone calls him "Desperate Saburo". "Because I followed my uncle to sell sheep and horses in other places, and I didn't want my uncle to die halfway, and I lost my capital and couldn't return home, so I was living here." I sell firewood in Jizhou to make a living. I heard that the high officials are looking for talented people, so I hope that the high officials will not give up and help the villains. "

The body is like a tiger in the mountains, and the nature is like adding fuel to the fire.

Ambitious and resourceful, he meets people everywhere to help him.

This was the first time that Zhao Zhen saw so many people with so many professions. He quickly helped Shi Xiu up and said: " I just need the help of a hero like a brother..."

Bao Xu said: "I don’t know, the official, I just had a fist fight with brother Jiao Ting, and brother Shi Xiu saw the result and competed with me in martial arts. He is so powerful, I am no match for him. He lost one move at forty years old." Zhao Zhen was surprised when he heard this. Bao Xu has now broken through to level 4 and level 2, although his level is not as good as Shi's. Xiu, but judging from his strength, he was not inferior to Shi Xiu. Unexpectedly, he lost to Shi Xiu.

Zhao Zhen naturally knew that those with higher strength would not necessarily win. Shi Xiu had many professions and many skills, especially the self-sacrifice skill. During the battle, his strength improved a lot. In addition, Bao Xu's fists and kicks were not as good as Shi Xiu's.

Zhao Zhen said: "It seems that we have one more general in Liangshan County." After saying this, he took Shi Xiu to the hall and sat down.

The fruit plate wine was served first, and Zhao Zhen held three glasses in his hand. Then, Bao Xu and Jiao Ting accompanied them, and the four of them talked in the hall. From time to time bursts of laughter could be heard in the hall.
