I open a restaurant in Daqin

Chapter 60

When Yingzheng tried his best to continue to play Qin Yong's routine.

On the other side, Qin Yong didn't notice it, and still did what he should do.

Although Lu Buwei mentioned the good wine that day, it was a wake-up call for Qin Yong.

But after Qin Yong wrote it down, he didn't do it right away.

What he wants to do more now is to quickly get out the movable type printing book.

Therefore, in the next two days, he increased his investment in recruiting, and had people travel all over Xianyang City, placing those craftsmen everywhere.

Finally, more than a dozen craftsmen were finally brought in.

Qin Yong is also generous in his actions. In a word, he signed a life-and-death contract, and his monthly salary will be ten times his normal income, which is set at [-] yuan.If you don't agree, leave by yourself.

Qin Yong is generous, but the conditions are also harsh.

Many people, how could they be willing to sell themselves for no reason?

As a result, many craftsmen gave up after learning the conditions, although they yearned for the high monthly wages.

However, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, this sentence is not without reason.

After a lot of solicitation, there were still a dozen or so craftsmen left behind.

After signing the life-and-death contract with these craftsmen at the government, Qin Yong immediately arranged for these people to cut the whole peach wood into cuboids of equal size.

Then, let these people engrave the characters of Qin State under the cuboid, just like carving a seal.

This is a craft, and without long-term accumulation, it is basically impossible to do.

Let’s just say that Qin Yong himself didn’t even bother to learn slowly, so he could only recruit others for help.

Of course, such delicate work is nothing to the people Qin Yong summoned.

After all, without that ability, Qin Yong wouldn't use them either.

So, after a busy night, Qin Yongyao's first batch of movable type prints appeared.

Next, Qin Yong got a wooden frame, arranged these movable type in batches, and then neatly and firmly set them on. The ink was stained on it, and the paper was printed on the next page, and a chapter of the manuscript was printed directly.

Qin Yong picked up the rice paper and took a look. The neat characters on it were exactly as he imagined.

"Hahaha, good... good..."

At noon that day, Qin Yong looked at his invention, holding a piece of rice paper, and laughed loudly with an excited look on his face.

He couldn't help but successfully make paper, and now even movable type printing has taken shape. Wouldn't it be easy to print a large number of manuscripts next?
On the side, those craftsmen, as well as Qin Da, Lao Gan and others all surrounded him curiously. Dozens of people surrounded Qin Yong tightly, and they all stretched their necks to look at the rice paper in Qin Yong's hand.

After seeing the article on the rice paper, everyone was taken aback.

A piece of article does not need to be written, but only needs to be printed gradually?

Wouldn't it be convenient?
If this is the case, who will slowly engrave and transcribe articles in the future?Wouldn't it be good to just print it directly?
At this moment, everyone finally understood that these days, Qin Yong was busy with something, and it turned out that this was what he was busy with.

This idea is really novel!
"Sir, this is too unbelievable. Could it be that you want to use this method to transcribe the world's great books in the future?"

Qin Da looked surprised and asked Qin Yong.

His so-called big books are those world-famous manuscripts.

For example, Sun Wu's Art of War, Lu Buwei's Lu's Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius' Spring and Autumn Period, Zhuangzi's Happy Journey and so on.

These books are famous all over the world, and they record the truth between the heaven and the earth. They can be called big books.

At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the manuscript in Qin Yong's hand, and they didn't notice at all that outside the restaurant, Ying Zheng, who had descended from court, was coming to the restaurant accompanied by Li Si and A Yao. Seeing the situation here, Can't help but be taken aback.

Li Si was about to say hello, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng also quietly came to the side of the crowd and looked towards Qin Yong.

But seeing Qin holding a manuscript in his hand, the handwriting is neat and tidy, but it seems to be nothing special.

He didn't understand why it was so surprising.

But at this moment, Qin Yong said: "Qin Da, you are right, this thing I made can be called movable type printing!"

"In the past, all the great books in the world were carved on the bamboo slips one by one with a carving knife. Even if there were wolf hairs, they had to be copied slowly. However, if I use my movable type printing technique, it will be completely different!"

"In this world, why is it difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son? Isn't it because the poor family's children cannot read and write?"

"They are all poor people who cannot afford the bamboo slips and school fees."

"Of course, starting today, when the rice paper in our store is released, there will be no unaffordable stationery in the world. When movable type printing is fully formed, you can print as many books as you want!"

"Ordinary people's homes can't afford bamboo slips, but they can afford rice paper. They can't afford the manuscripts carved on bamboo slips, but they can afford our books. In the future, they can also read and write. My Great Qin is unfolding, and it won't take long before Qilu is no longer the place of literacy in the world, but my Great Qin!"

"At that time, my Great Qin will produce a large number of talents, as many as you want, why worry about the Great Qin not being strong?"

Under Ying Zheng's watchful eyes, Qin Yong talked boastfully, looking at his printing research results, it can be said that he was full of pride and ambition.

With Ying Zheng, he didn't know movable type printing, and he couldn't see clearly what was placed in front of Qin Yong.

But after hearing Qin Yong's words, he was inexplicably hot inside.

The holy place of literature and literature in the world is no longer Qilu, but Daqin?

These words touched Ying Zheng a lot.

For hundreds of years, the state of Qin has experienced wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and wars in Qixiong.

Until now, even though the six kingdoms of Shandong were unable to resist, the six kingdoms did not look down on Qin Guoguo at all.

In their eyes, Qin State is a group of domestic slaves who herd horses, a group of barbarians, and uneducated people.They are tigers and wolves, who only know how to devour others. Apart from being frightening, they have nothing to commend them.

Qin State wants to develop culture, but the background of the six countries is there, and Qin State cannot be compared at all.

They also wanted to set up a Jixia Academy just like the Qi State, but in the end, they just created a Xuefu Street, and there was nothing more to do.

Now, as soon as the countries greeted, those great talents left as soon as they said it, and the Qin State had no power to resist.

It can be said that this has always been Qin's biggest shortcoming.

If one day, Qin State can also become the world's largest literary sage, and all the talents in the world come from Qin, will Qin State be so passive?
That is absolutely impossible.

At this moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and Li Si was also overwhelmed by Qin Yong's bold words.

On the other hand, A Yao stood on her toes and kept looking inside, as if she wanted to see clearly what was inside that could make Qin Yong so ambitious.
