Chapter 337 Worry
"But there are not only a few companies that make paper..." Yun Zhanfei opened his mouth wide and looked at Chu Zhuang in shock.
Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, and briefly explained to Yun Zhanfei.
"Second brother, this, this..." Yun Zhanfei looked at Yunhong in bewilderment, this news was too shocking for him.
"Chu Zhuang said yes, then it's definitely possible." Yun Hong patted Yun Zhanfei on the shoulder, making him calm down a little.
Yun Zhanfei thought about what had happened in Chuzhuang before, and nodded, but he was not so shocked.
"If bamboo paper really appears, it will definitely be a great thing for scholars in the world." Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang and said.
Paper is a necessity for reading. If its price decreases, the cost of reading will also decrease, and the corresponding number of talents will also increase.
Chu Zhuang nodded. He agreed with what Yunhong said, but...
"Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents."
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunhong and said: "Just now you also said that this paper is the foundation for the four families to live and work. Once the bamboo paper is interviewed, their family will definitely suffer a devastating blow. At that time, they will not be easy. Let us go."
Bamboo paper is different from wine.
The owner of the wine is a foreign country, and the Yun family brewed it. Although some people will be jealous, at most they will just try to steal the secret recipe, and they will not do other excessive things.
But paper is the source of huge profits for the four aristocrats of Cai, He, Lin, and Sima. Maybe the foundation of the entire family is based on this paper.
If they made bamboo paper, in order to maintain the stability of the family, these four families would definitely use all their strength to deal with them.
These four big families, apart from the other three, the Sima family alone is not easy to deal with, even if Yun Tingfeng stepped forward, he might not be able to stand up to this matter.
"I know your worries." Yunhong pursed his lips tightly, a dark light flashed across his eyes, he looked at Chu Zhuang after thinking for a while and said: "Bamboo paper must be made!"
"Then how to deal with the next trouble?" Chu Zhuang asked with a frown.
"I have a way to deal with it!" Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang with certainty and said, "Give me half a year, when the bamboo paper comes out, I will make those four families dare not act rashly!"
Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows slightly, Yunhong only said to give him half a year, but he didn't say how he should solve it after half a year
But looking at Yunhong's appearance, it can be seen that he is very sure about this matter.
Chu Zhuang knew Yunhong well, knew that he would not joke about this matter, thought for a while and said: "It will take a certain amount of time to make bamboo paper, let's make it secretly first."
As for when the time comes, if Yunhong has a way to deal with it, then they will roll out the bamboo paper. If Yunhong can't deal with it, Chu Zhuang will destroy this batch of paper without hesitation!
Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang, understood what he meant, and nodded slightly in agreement.
The two discussed the specific operation of papermaking, and the division of labor between them was also very clear.
Yunhong sent people to be responsible for the production, and Chu Zhuang provided technology and guidance.
With their previous wine experience, they cooperated very well.
"It's better to keep the location hidden, and it's better to be near the bamboo forest." Chu Zhuang suggested.
"Anbei Mansion is rich in bamboo. We can send people to make it there. It just so happens that it's not in Dongfeng Mansion, so it won't attract attention." Yunhong thought for a while and said.
"Well, it's just that we are far away, and the news may not be spread in time." Chu Zhuang frowned and said.
"Don't worry about that. We have a special post office to transmit the news. Anbei Mansion and Dongfeng Mansion are nearby. It only takes three to five days for the news to be delivered." Yunhong explained.
Chu Zhuang nodded slightly. In ancient society, three to five days was indeed very short.
"Well, then you arrange it. I will write down the prescription for you when I go back today." Chu Zhuang nodded in agreement.
After the two discussed the matter of papermaking, Chu Zhuang asked again: "Do you know that a large number of book printing houses have closed down?" "
Yunhong raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Zhuang in surprise and asked, "You don't even know about printing books, do you?"
"You also know that I compiled the enlightenment textbooks for Guo Wen and the others. I asked the two deans to help them finish the compilation, so I want to print them out." Chu Zhuang took out the two enlightenment textbooks from his arms, feeling a little helpless Said: "It's just that the price of this publication is too expensive Tw
"That's right, Chu Zhuang just wanted to print fifty books, but the other party asked for dozens of gold coins!" Yunmengxi nodded
Said.
This price is not buying a book, it is completely buying a house!
"The templates for printing books are expensive, and the paper is expensive, so the price is naturally expensive."
Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang suspiciously and asked: "Even if you print this book yourself, you still have to pay this price. If you want it cheaper, you can find someone to copy it. There are many literati copying books in Dongfeng Mansion!" "
"Chu Zhuang's own printing is cheaper than printing outside!" Yun Mengxi and Chu Zhuang looked at each other, and explained to Yunhong:
Block printing is used in the printing workshop, but movable type printing is used in Chuzhuang, which is much more convenient and the cost is much lower. "
"Am I right?" Yun Mengxi leaned against Chu Zhuang and asked in a low voice.
"No." Chu Zhuang shook his head with a smile, and he also told Yunmengxi once, unexpectedly he wrote it down.
"Movable type printing? What is this?" Yunhong and Yun Zhanfei looked at each other, their eyes were full of confusion, and they didn't understand what it meant.
"I'll explain it to you!" Yun Mengxi was encouraged by Chu Zhuang, and explained to Yun Hong and Yun Zhanfei enthusiastically.Movable type printing is actually easy to understand its meaning as long as you listen to its name. After Yunmengxi explained it, Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong both showed a clear expression.
"So that's how it is, it's really much more convenient!" Yun Zhanfei nodded and said, "It's just a change, why didn't anyone think of it before?"
"Although it's just a small change, the change it brings is huge!" Yun Hong pursed his lips and said with some emotion.
"The academy has a lot of demand for teaching materials. For the sake of convenience, I want to buy a book printing house specially for printing teaching materials." Chu Zhuang frowned and said, "It was only when I went to see it today that I found out that many book printing houses have closed down. Yes, I heard from the people in Naya that the bookstores and bookstores united to boycott the books of these printing houses, which led to the closure of the book printing house."
"I don't know much about this." Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong looked at each other and shook their heads.
"However, if you want to buy a book printing house and print books yourself, there will be no problem." Yunhong thought for a while and said
.
After all, printing is different from papermaking. Many artisans know how to print. The book printing workshop in Chuzhuang is only for personal use. Even if the printing technology is improved, there will be no problem.
"Well, I see." Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, thinking about the book printing houses he saw today in his mind, he already had an idea in his heart, and he will go to settle down the book printing houses later.
After finishing the book printing and paper making, Chu Zhuang asked about the wine.
During this period of time, he has been busy with the affairs of the academy, but he hasn't asked about the wine, and he doesn't know what's going on here.
"No problem, everything is going smoothly now, wait another half a month, and the first batch of wine will be out!" Yun Hong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll be watching here every day, nothing will go wrong!" Yun Zhanfei assured, patting his chest.
The matter of the wine was of great importance, Yun Zhanfei didn't even go back to the house, and basically stayed here every day to watch, and no trouble could escape his eyes.
Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi walked around with Yun Zhanfei and left without finding any problems.
"Chuzhuang is really not easy!"
Looking at the back of the Chuzhuang carriage leaving, Yunhong said with a sigh.
Now he can already foresee how much turmoil will be caused in this world when the bamboo paper comes out.
"It's not easy anymore, that's my brother-in-law too, you still have to call me big brother!" Yun Zhanfei raised his eyebrows and said.
Yunhong looked at Yun Zhanfei, shook his head with a broken smile, and sighed, "Fortunately, he and Mengxi are together!"
Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi got into the carriage, and ordered: "Dali, go to the tooth shop!"
While it was still early, Chu Zhuang wanted to order the book printing workshop as soon as possible.
"Yes, master!" Bai Dali flicked his whip and drove the carriage away.
"Have you heard the news?!" Chu Yingya watched Xia Liu come back, and immediately went up to meet her, and asked nervously.
"I got it!"
Xia Liu clutched her chest and said excitedly: "Miss, the slave girl followed the maid who purchased, and heard them say that the old lady will go to Kaifu Temple outside the city to offer incense in the future, we just need to wait in Kaifu Temple in advance, I can see the old lady!"
Chu Yingya was overjoyed when she heard the words, and then she said worriedly: "But, I have never met grandma, she, will she believe what I say?"
"Miss, don't worry, this servant has Madam's token on her body." Xia Liu took out her purse from her bosom and took out a bracelet as she spoke.
"This is the bracelet that my mother wears!" Chu Yingya recognized it at a glance, and said in amazement.
"Well, I saw Madam for the last time that day. This was taken from Madam's hand by this servant. It was originally intended as a reminder for you, Miss, but now it can also be used to convince Madam of your identity." Xia Xia Liu pursed his lips and said.
"But grandma, does she know this bracelet?" Chu Yingya asked a little unconfidently.
"Miss, don't worry, this bracelet is Madam's dowry. It was given to Madam herself by the old lady. The old lady will definitely recognize it!" Xia Liu nodded affirmatively.
"Well, good!" Chu Yingya breathed a sigh of relief, and said with firm eyes: "In that case, we will go to Kaifu Temple to guard tomorrow! I must tell grandma the truth and ask her to get back a piece of money for my mother." justice!"
