Chapter 37 Cooperative Trading
The master still made a note, looking humiliated as if he had signed a traitorous treaty.
Li Su has no heart to bear it. Perhaps this era is based on integrity, and people are very simple. When big things are said verbally, they count, but Li Su is different. He respects the contract very much, and only when he writes things in black and white can he feel safe.
After establishing the document, Li Sucai told the master the secret of movable type printing. The master gradually became surprised, and finally his face turned flushed quickly, and his beard was so excited that he even shook his beard.
"This is a good thing! A good thing! It has benefited many scholars from our Tang Dynasty. The young master has great merits and great merits. In the future, scholars from the Tang Dynasty will have to set up a tablet of immortality for the young master..."
After saying that, the master rushed out.
Li Su grabbed his arm: "Where is the old man going?"
"Dedicate this item to the government..."
Li Su: “…………”
How important it is to make a contract, Li Sujing broke out in a cold sweat.
He took out the trumpet he had just set up and wandered hard in front of the master's eyes. Li Su gritted his teeth and said, "The old man can see clearly. As long as you hear a trace of turmoil about this thing outside, you will have to sue you and sue you into the government office and get beaten with a board."
The master woke up from the excitement, and then a hint of shame flashed across his old face and hurriedly apologized.
"If the young master presents this thing to the government, the official will have a generous reward. The young master will become famous all over the world from now on. Why should he cherish it yourself?" The master was still unwilling to persuade him.
"What do I want to be famous all over the world? Just make money in silence. Don't meddle in other people's business, just engrave the words on it."
The master stopped talking and only looked at Li Su, with his eyes as if he was looking at a madman. Obviously, his values conflict with Li Su's values.
Li Su replied with a warm smile, so cute.
************************************************************
Ten days later, Li Su entered the city again.
This time, it was for the acceptance results. The master's carving work was very good. Thousands of commonly used Chinese characters were carved in a few days. The font was in standard regular script, and each character was carved very standard.
Li Su was so happy that he carefully checked with a handful of lead characters in his hand. The master sat beside him and stroked his beard proudly, obviously very confident in his kung fu.
The price is not cheap, so it costs more than two cents to hire a master to carve a character, but it is worth it, and Li Su gave the money very happily.
When they were carrying the lead type mold and walked out, they were stopped by someone.
A very polite person, wearing a silk gown, with a smile on his lips. After stopping Li Su and the other two, he kept bowing and apologizing.
"Sorry, sorry, I blocked the way for the distinguished guest, and it was abrupt."
Li Su raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Looking at the bottom, although the three distinguished guests are young, they exude a sense of wealth from the inside out. They are generous and unparalleled, and they are handsome and gentle..."
"stop!"
The man praised the words and his expression did not change when he spoke unconscience. The Wang brothers were furious and looked at him with a look of a thousand-mile horse looking at Bo Le.
Li Suheng glanced at them and said to the man: "You're handsome and so on, just tell me directly. Don't involve irrelevant people, otherwise it sounds insincere."
The man smiled, and was not embarrassed, and said, "This distinguished guest, the things you customized in the store a few days ago have been prepared for you by Master Yu. Are you satisfied with the things?"
Li Su nodded: "The master is good at sword skills."
The man rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, although you and Master Yu have established a document, he is the carving master hired by our store. I'm the shopkeeper of our store. No one can hide this from me. I wonder if the distinguished customer has the intention of making money with it after making this thing?"
"certainly."
The man looked increasingly anxious: "This store has been an old sign for 30 years. Thirty-four scholars in Chang'an City buy paper and pen in our store. If the customer wants to use it to print books, the customer is willing to cooperate with him. I wonder what the customer wants?"
Li Su was immediately overjoyed. He was dozing off and sent a pillow.
"Not interested, goodbye!"
After Li Su finished speaking, he walked away. The shopkeeper was stunned. After a moment of shock, he hurriedly stopped him again, looking a little anxious.
"Daughter, everything is easy to discuss, it's easy to discuss!"
Having enough pretentiousness, Li Su stopped and looked at him: "How to share the profits?"
"Four and six, I'm four and you're six..."
"Good meeting, goodbye, goodbye."
"Sanqi! Sanqi! I am three and you are seven, you are seven, it's better to be familiar with it than to be cooked. As long as you are in our store, you will never reveal your secrets. If you ask outsiders to do this business, you will easily reveal the key points. At that time, the whole Chang'an will be imitated and the price will be reduced."
Li Su sighed. The shopkeeper was very good at speaking. These words happened to him. He was also worried that movable type printing would be imitated. This was a very simple thing. If you don’t know, it felt mysterious and it was worthless to say it.
"I'm seven and you three, I'm sure I'll have…"
The shopkeeper looked clear and said, "Make a note and the secret recipe leaked out to me to see the official."
Li Su immediately developed a good impression of him. He didn't know if he had a daughter, so if he had one, he would just marry her. From now on, the whole store would be his own, such as four and six, and three seven, all of them were all over the clouds...
…………
A myth is quietly circulating in Chang'an City.
Yes, it's a myth.
A study shop in Xishi undertakes the printing business. If you take any book, you will print it within two days. The handwriting is clear and the paper pages are fragrant. Both the typesetting and fonts are excellent. What is even more rare is the price.
Publishing books has been the dream of literati for two thousand years. Looking at the printed books by their academic achievements, they are widely circulated among the people, what is happier than this?
In a very mysterious study shop, the printing of books is now called for carving workers to carve them on woodblocks. A page of books often has to be carved all day long, and a book cannot be completed within two or three months. But this study shop is printed in two days, which is really a miracle.
The literati in Chang'an City went from disbelief to curiosity to the beginning, and finally gave it a try...
It was boiling, at least the circle of literati in Chang'an City was boiling.
The study shop was crowded with people within a few days, and countless literati flocked to it.
Not only literati, but also many colleagues came to the store, asking around the bush why the book printing in this store was so fast. The shopkeeper just laughed and his smile was full of smugness, but he didn't say anything about it when he was beaten to death.
