Chapter 200
"You two senior brothers, don't be discouraged, maybe the credit is enough, maybe Ziqian will help you."
Zhao Yun could only comfort the two of them in this way, at least Bai Yunyan can practice as long as he has some credit, even if other people have practiced, it is no different from not practicing.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren looked at each other, and laughed, "Zilong don't underestimate us, if you don't have this bit of heart, how can you be worthy of Master's teachings."
"Hey, I was too worried." Zhao Yun also laughed.
When he got up the next day, Liu Jin went straight to Xun's house after breakfast. If he had any problems, he would go to the teacher. More food, the better.
Explaining his intentions, Xun Shuang didn't make it difficult for Liu Jin. With a wave of his hand, he sold Liu Jin 20 shi of grain at a friendly price.
Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he has 40 shi of grain in his hand, even if 10 people eat it with their stomachs open, they can still eat it for four months.
With food in hand, don't panic.
What Liu Jin is most afraid of is that he has money in his hand, but he can't spend it.
After returning from Xun's house, Liu Jin began to prepare gifts, and he planned to go home to visit relatives.
Huangfusong and the others estimated that they would be able to return to Luoyang by the beginning of spring at the latest, and they might be busy by then, and they might not be able to return to Jinyang in a short time.
According to the master, as long as there is wine, other masters do not need it.
As a descendant of Yanzi, Shi Niang, there is nothing more suitable than a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" written in black and white.
For Lu Bu's daughter-in-law, let's wear expensive rouge powder.
Senior sister and Lu Lingqi, two dolls can handle it, there is no girl who doesn't like this.
Immediately doing what he said, Liu Jin picked up a pen and began to transcribe "The Analects of Confucius", and "36 Strategies" by the way.
Although you can find someone to write it for you, but you can only be sincere if you write it yourself.
I wrote two copies directly, and the two mothers-in-law are not good at favoring one another, and people bought double copies of rouge and gouache.
I was busy until midnight before I finished transcribing. After Diao Chan bound it, Liu Jin rubbed his swollen eyebrows. It seems that printing must be put on the agenda, otherwise, a gift in the future will exhaust himself to death.
The next day, Liu Jin called Xun Yu, Zhao Yun and several craftsmen.
"I'm planning to go back to Jinyang, and come back after the Shangyuan Festival."
"If Ziqian has anything to say, just ask." Xun Yu nodded, anyway, it doesn't matter if there is Liu Jin here or not.
"Zilong, you also know how to build a horseshoe. Put it on other people's horses. Bai Yunyan also taught it to Yan Liangwenchou, your two senior brothers, and the members of the military division. Whether they can learn it depends on their good fortune. .”
"Okay!" Zhao Yun has no objection, you are the boss and you have the final say.
"As for Wen Ruo, there is something that needs your attention." Liu Jin looked at Xun Yu again.
"Ziqian, please tell me."
"I transcribed "The Analects of Confucius" yesterday and thought of a very interesting thing. Why can't I engrave every word on the "Analects of Confucius" like a seal, so that a large number of "The Analects of Confucius" can be quickly printed."
Liu Jin looked at Xun Yu with a smile, and I will be the inventor of printing from now on.
"Ziqian has such a good idea!" Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he was immediately shocked. Wouldn't it be possible to write a book quickly in the future?
Why do most of the books in this era use bamboo slips instead of bamboo slips?
In the final analysis, it is because silk is not easy to preserve and has a short lifespan.
If the number of words is small, you can use silk to make do with it. If there are too many words, maybe some of the books in your home have been ruined and rotted by insects and ants before they are finished transcribing.
So let's use bamboo slips, once and for all, there are no other disadvantages except troublesome and bulky.
But now you can write as quickly as a seal, so why worry about it, it depends on whether you ruin it or I print it faster.
"I named this method 'printing', but it is different from the direct engraving of the seal. The font part of the printing method should be protruded, and the blank part should be dug out."
"Then paint the ink and put the paper, so that the printed black and white characters will be more neat and beautiful."
"In addition, each character is separated. When printing other books in the future, you can directly find the corresponding character, saving you from engraving it over and over again."
Liu Jin shamelessly explained to Xun Yu patiently that it was all due to me.
"Ziqian is a great talent." Xun Yu bowed and saluted, his eyes shining brightly. This is a good thing that will benefit the future, and it plays an extremely important role in the spread and exchange of culture.
"You can try it with ceramics or wood first, and then cast it with copper if you succeed."
"Don't worry, Ziqian, he will succeed." Xun Yu was full of confidence, and he had given his ideas. If he still failed, he would be a pig.
After explaining everything, Liu Jin tidied up and saluted, and left alone under Diao Chan's reluctant eyes.
That's right, Liu Jin took no one with him, and Dian Wei was also left behind.
Jinyang is a thousand miles away from Yangzhai. Liu Jin took the shortest straight line between the two points, passed through Sili, and headed north by west.
Feiyun didn't stop, traveled a thousand miles, sprinkled water, and when the sun went down, Liu Jin returned to Jinyang.
On the way, Liu Jin went to Liushu Village in Shangdang County for a tour. Unfortunately, things changed and people went to empty buildings. The whole village was already dilapidated. I don't know if they encountered bandits or they all fled.
Jinyang is a bit more lively than when he left.
In fact, think about it, the Southern Huns and Xianbei were beaten and disabled, and they didn't dare to come to Bingzhou to wreak havoc.
As for those bandits and bandits, whoever dared to mess around in the hometown of the four great generals, they would be beaten to death by the local people directly.
Returning to Li's house familiarly, the whole Li's house became lively, including Li Yan's family and Lu Lingqi's mother and daughter.
"Master and wife, I'm back!" Liu Jin smiled happily. This is his home, and Li Yan and his wife are his parents.
"You child, are you finally willing to come back?" Yan Yu complained to Liu Jin, looked up and down for a moment, and frowned.
"Why are you so thin, don't you know what to eat outside?"
"Hey, the food outside is not as good as my wife's craftsmanship." Liu Jin directly flattered me with a smile.
"Poor mouth." Yan Yu gave Liu Jin a white look, "Don't think that I haven't heard your master talk about your food in Yingchuan, the potato stew, he has been talking about it for a long time."
Liu Jin looked at Li Yan speechlessly, Master, aren't you saying in a disguised form that the teacher's wife's craftsmanship is not good? With your attitude, if you can drink wine, the sun will come out from the west.
Li Yancai didn't care so much, the apprentice came back, this is a happy day, why don't you have a few drinks?
Well, it's reasonable, and the daughter-in-law can't fault it.
Afterwards, Liu Jin met with Yan Shi again, and then looked at Li Dan and Lu Lingqi. Both of them grew a lot taller, and they looked more and more graceful.
