Chapter 334 Workshop
"En!" Chu Zhuang nodded in response.
Now Chu Zhuang is not only thinking about printing books, but also about improving engraving and printing.
If movable type printing is used, it can at least improve the 500-year development of printing technology in Vietnam.
In this way, the cost of printing is reduced, and the dissemination of knowledge will be more convenient and convenient.
"Why?" Yunmengxi asked suspiciously.
"After the academy is opened, there will be a lot of textbooks needed. It is impossible for me to find someone to copy the books or engrave a template every time, so I need a printing workshop." Chu Zhuang explained.
"But even if you bought a printing house, what's the difference between this and printing books in this printing house?" Yun Mengxi frowned and asked.
No matter whether Chu Zhuang prints books by himself or prints books in the book printing workshop, the cost is not a small amount, and even the cost of buying a workshop is even greater.
"Of course there is a difference. I know a new printing method, which is more convenient and convenient than the printing in the printing workshop." Chu Zhuang said with a smile.
Although there is no difference in the short term, in the long run, it is definitely more cost-effective for him to open a book printing shop by himself!
"Huh? What method?" Yunmengxi was stunned and asked curiously.
"Typography!"
Chu Zhuang took Yunmengxi to the direction of Yaxing, and at the same time explained to him the difference between woodblock printing and movable type printing. "Oh, so it can still be like this?!"
Yunmengxi nodded thoughtfully and said: "Indeed, I also feel that the printing method you mentioned in Chuzhuang is much better than the printing workshop's method!"
Traditional engraving printing needs to engrave a template every time a book is printed, which is very rigid, but movable type printing is different. The engraved fonts are all single, they can be used repeatedly, and can be arranged at will, which is very convenient. convenient.
Chu Zhuang brought Yunmengxi to the tooth shop, and it happened that Zheng Xi, who helped them buy a house last time, was also there, so Chu Zhuang directly asked him about the printing workshop in the hall.
"Young Master Chu, are you looking for a book printing house?" Zheng Xi asked while looking at Chu Zhuang.
"Well, it doesn't need to be very big. It's okay to have a remote location, but there must be skilled craftsmen." Chu Zhuang nodded and expressed his request.
"This one, I have to inquire about it, the two young masters wait a moment."
The field Zheng Xi is most familiar with is buying houses and shops. This workshop, especially a small workshop like a printing workshop, has to ask colleagues.
"Well, you go, let's go out for a stroll and come back to you later."
Chu Zhuang nodded, and instead of sitting dryly in the tooth shop with Yunmengxi, he took him for a stroll outside.
"In addition to printing books, I found that paper is also very expensive. The cost is so low, but the slightly better paper bookstores even dare to sell it for a gold coin." Chu Zhuang said with his brows furrowed and his lips pursed.
If the paper is too expensive, Ono and the others will spend a lot of money practicing handwriting, but paper is the daily cost of reading and is indispensable.
For Chu Zhuang, opening an academy is not simply a matter of teaching a few students. He needs to consider many issues.
"It costs a lot to study." Yunmengxi sighed.
That's why he was so strange when he knew that Chuzhuang was going to open an academy to teach Ono and others.
For an ordinary family, it would take the whole family to barely support a scholar, but Chu Zhuang alone had to support more than 40, which was a bit difficult even for a big family.
"It seems that this paper can't be bought from outside." Chu Zhuang narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.
Yun Mengxi stared at Chu Zhuang with wide eyes, and asked, "Chu Zhuang, you don't know how to make paper, do you?!"
"Well, I know!" Chu Zhuang nodded, there are detailed information in the space, and he can make ordinary paper
come out.
Yunmengxi swallowed her saliva, feeling a little shocked, but at the same time feeling a little taken for granted.
Chu Zhuang is a disciple of the gods, so it is very normal to know this.
"Then are you going to make paper yourself?" Yunmengxi asked curiously.
"Well, making paper by yourself can not only save a lot of expenses, but also sell it, which is also an income." Chu Zhuang nodded.
Only in this way, Chu Zhuang's purse will shrink rapidly.
"The current cost is getting bigger and bigger." Chu Zhuang said thoughtfully.
"I have money!"
Yun Mengxi looked at Chu Zhuang and said: "I have saved a lot of money these years, if you need it in Chu Zhuang, you can use it directly
! ”
Over the years, the Empress Dowager and the empresses in the palace gave him a lot of rewards.
Yunmengxi himself is not an extravagant person, so he saved almost all of them, but it is a pity that Yunli took away a lot of them over the years, otherwise he would be able to press out more to help Chuzhuang now.
"These are your dowry, give it to me now, what will you do when there is no dowry?" Chu Zhuang joked.He naturally knew Yunmengxi's feelings for him, but the money was Yunmengxi's private money, and Chu Zhuang was not a soft-hearted man, so why?
Will move his money.
"Then I don't have a dowry, and you will marry me too." Yunmengxi said softly, her cheeks blushing.
"So sure?" Chu Zhuang asked with a chuckle.
Yun Mengxi glared at Chu Zhuang, and asked, "Then don't you want to marry me?!"
Looking at him like this, if Chu Zhuang dared to say no, he would explode immediately on the spot.
"Marry, why not marry, in this world, I will only marry you." Chu Zhuang stopped teasing him, and immediately held Yunmengxi's hand, promising.
"That's more or less the same." Yun Mengxi snorted in satisfaction after hearing Chu Zhuang's answer.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The money is your private money, and you can keep it for yourself as a dowry." Chu Zhuang patted the back of Yunmengxi's hand and said.
"But aren't you short of money? I don't need the money, you can just take it. Why do we have to divide it so clearly." Yun Mengxi pursed her lips and said unhappy.
"Fool, don't you know if I'm short of money?" Chu Zhuang said with a chuckle.
He did not hide from Yunmengxi how many gold coins Chu Zhuang brought over, so Yunmengxi knew about it.
Yunmengxi sighed, looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "Although you have brought a lot of gold coins, once you buy these two workshops, there will not be much left."
"Huh?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yunmengxi in surprise.
"The cost of buying a yard, buying a house, building an academy, daily food expenses, monthly wages for Bai Dali and the others..."
Yunmengxi counted for Chu Zhuang with her fingers: "Now you have to buy workshops and craftsmen. If these two workshops are within [-] gold coins, then your money in Chu Zhuang can last for two months."
Chu Zhuang is rich, but he also has a lot of people to support, plus the academy is being built right now, so the cost is very high
The workshop is not a cheap thing, and once you buy Chuzhuang, you will buy two. Even if you have thousands of gold coins, you can't afford the cost of Chuzhuang!
Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Yunmengxi to figure it out so clearly for him. Seeing his appearance, he usually worried about him a lot.
The butler's skills don't know when Yunmeng Creek started to light up.
"Little fool, have you forgotten the wine in uncle's hands? Soon, the first batch of wine will come out, and there will be income at that time." Chu Zhuang explained with a chuckle.
It is not without confidence that Chu Zhuang dares to spend money. After all, the most important thing he needs right now is money.
Even if there is no wine, he can sell a large bucket of gold by taking out two glasses from the space.
"That's right, I almost forgot about this." Yunmengxi patted his forehead and said suddenly.
From the attitude of Yun Tingfeng and the others before, it can be seen that this wine will definitely be sold at a high price, but the cost of it, Yunmengxi who participated in the production is very clear, the cost of a large barrel of wine is only a few silver coins.
This is simply a big deal with huge profits. Once the wine starts to sell, the money allocated by Chuzhuang is definitely not a small amount
Item.
"Does it hurt so hard?"
Chu Zhuang rubbed Yunmengxi's forehead, frowned and said.
Yunmengxi grinned sheepishly.
"What a little fool." Chu Zhuang shook his head helplessly.
"By the way, Chu Zhuang, you are looking for a printing craftsman, why don't you ask Lin Huai to help?" Yun Mengxi looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.
"Lin Huai has other things to do. Carving is not difficult. You just need to find an ordinary craftsman to do it. There is no need for him to waste time on it." Chu Zhuang shook his head and said.
The more he understood Lin Huai, the more Chu Zhuang knew how powerful he was. Lin Huai was definitely one of the top craftsmen of this era, and Chu Zhuang needed him to do some inventions and creations.
Ordinary craftsmen can do such things as carving, but letting Lin Huai do it is a bit overkill.
"The wheelchair and bicycle have to be made by him." Yunmengxi nodded thoughtfully.
Chu Zhuang took Yunmengxi for a walk, and then returned to the dental shop.
"Young Master Chu, Young Master Yun, there is news from the workshop that you both inquired about."
Zheng Xi brought a person and introduced them to Chu Zhuang: "This is He Dafang who specializes in complex workshops. There are no workshops and craftsmen in Dongfeng Mansion that he doesn't know."
"Young Master Chu, Young Master Yun." He Dafang saluted the two of them.
"You know our request, right?" Chu Zhuang asked with a slight nod.
"Yes, little one understands."
He Dafang took out a piece of parchment and put it on the table, and explained it to Chu Zhuang.
"There are three printing workshops that meet Mr. Chu's requirements. The first one is near here. It was originally run by two brothers in partnership, but now they have conflicts, so they want to sell the workshop. There are a total of five craftsmen in the workshop, all of whom have signed contracts of sale..."
Chu Zhuang looked at the location of the printing workshops on the map, they were all distributed very regularly, basically in relatively remote places.
These book printing houses are generally owned by bookstores or bookstores. Because they are not shops, they don’t need to be in a particularly prosperous and crowded place, so they are all located in places with fewer people and cheaper places.
