Yuwen Shu’s identity even if I gave Yang about tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of things, no one can say anything-the colleagues in the Sui Dynasty gave me a heavy gift, but I didn’t let the other party directly do anything that was against the law, and it was my own money, so no one could say that you, my iron buddy, have deep feelings and are willing to give half of your fortune to your brothers.
Compared with Yuwen Shu, Xiao Xian has obvious disadvantages in doing this. To put it bluntly, even if Yang Guang is willing to give him money to help him handle this matter, he Xiao Xian is afraid that he needs to prepare to explain that he is not guilty of a huge source of property.
When he left, Xiao Fei finally told Xiao Xian to find a way to pay attention to some industries that can make money quickly. It is not that Yang Guang and Xiao Fei really need Xiao Xian to earn much money, but that they should have a reasonable explanation, which can explain "why Xiao Xian has so much money" in the future.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Xian needs a money-laundering industry. According to the information given by my aunt, Yuwen Shu will arrive in Beijing in June. If he wants to make some achievements before Yuwen Shu, he must hurry up.
……
Although money laundering requires Xiao Xian to play with his own hands, at first, the money can still be managed with the help of external forces. I have to say that my aunt Xiao Fei is still very generous in this matter. She gave Xiao Xian some start-up funds, about ten pieces of five-weight gold leaves and ten pieces of five-weight silver collars. When she returned to Daxing City, Xiao Xian took these start-up funds with her.
The money was given to Xiao Xian by Xiao Fei directly and aboveboard, and it was the poems that were refined when Xiao Xian Wufeng Mountain left work.
On that day, before leaving, the poem "Appreciating Peach Blossoms on Wufeng Mountain", that is, the poem "Long Hate Spring Returning to Find a Place", was sent to Yang Guang by Yang Jieying. Yang Guang really loves literature and loves poets. After listening to the new poems sent by his wife and daughter, he looked up at Xiao Xian’s talent again, so he rewarded his wife’s niece and nephew Xiao Xian. When he learned that the poems could also help reward money laundering, he also vacated a few poems. The book of good goods in his stomach was too ugly to make people "sell" a thousand verses by mistake.
So Xiao Xian ransacked Mr. Meng "I awake light-hearted this morning of spring everywhere round me the singing of birds; It rains and rains at night in and I wonder how many blossoms were broken ",Wang Wei" when those red berries come in springtime and flushing on your southland branches; As a symbol of our love, take home an armful, for my sake "and" No one in the mountains, and yet I think I hear a voice; Returning to the scenery into the deep forest to restore the moss "and Du Gongbu" Good rain knows when spring is happening; The wind sneaked into the night to moisten things. "Four poems that have been tested by history have been immortalized for a long time. Xiao Xian was killed by plagiarism and money laundering. It is also said that it is reasonable to share the money that Xiao Fei gave Xiao Xian to two hundred verses. It is still a big Sui rhyme poem that has not developed to a high degree. It is not said that it is not said that there are dignitaries who are willing to pay two hundred verses and one reward.
In this casual thing, Xiao Xian gradually gained some literary names in the following months, which also caused some unnecessary notes and troubles. That is another story.
The first thing that Xiao Xian did after he got the money was to ask Guang Shen to help him find a dentist to look after the two small houses in Chongren Square the day before yesterday, which was a solution to the problem he just needed. Then he saluted himself and moved out of Guang Shen’s house and moved into his own Daxing new home. He also invited his own Daxing only friends and colleagues to have a housewarming banquet. Liu Sandao, a newly recognized dog leg, moved to his new house and wanted to take the opportunity to bite his teeth and bleed to seal a big red envelope to contact a relationship, but Xiao Xian declined.
……
It’s early April the next day after moving. Although Xiao Xian has been doing some personal chores these days, his mind has not been idle. For finding a way to make money and launder money quickly, he has already made a calculation in his mind, which not only conforms to his official status as a lieutenant colonel now, but also fits in with his money and can gain a little insight advantage for travelers.
As soon as the day arrived at my office, he called Liu Sandao, the dog leg. After meeting, he didn’t bother to ask the right thing.
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu Shucheng ordered the supervisor to supervise shipbuilding, vehicle trench, equipment for attacking and defending the city, and so on. So are all carpenters under the jurisdiction of the supervisor?"
"As adults said, all carpenters and materials are under the jurisdiction of adults. Although they are in charge of a specific industry under the jurisdiction of adults, craftsmen are the same group. Shipbuilding carpenters can also build cars and siege equipment. They can be dispatched at will according to the assigned weight of our lieutenant colonel’s office."
Listen to Xiao Xian’s words, there are two meanings. First, these carpenters can do all kinds of carpentry work. If Xiao Xian wants to do some private work, he can transfer anyone he wants. Second, the commander’s department has the power to dispatch craftsmen’s resources, while the surface department has the power to supervise craftsmen’s specific work activities without dispatching and allocating manpower. He Liu Sandao very much hopes that his adults can arrange craftsmen in charge of shipbuilding Pan Shucheng to come and make wooden instruments …
Talking to Cong people is labor-saving. Xiao Xian smiled after listening to Liu Sandao’s words and said, "What about these craftsmen’s skills? How many craftsmen are proficient in the official work? "
Liu Sandao came as soon as he heard it, spirit adult. Is this to do some personal work? This kind of thing will be supervised by the Ministry of Industry, but it is very common. If you help yourself well, it will be a great opportunity to please the official. When Liu San is full of energy, he says, "My Lord, where are you talking?" The carpenter of our Lieutenant Colonel’s Department is naturally skilled. It’s not necessary to say that the cornices of the pillars of the imperial palace are all carved by the carpenter of our Lieutenant Colonel’s Department. If you don’t believe me, please find a few foreman old craftsmen to demonstrate to adults. "
"Then you go and arrange for an official to have a strange object. If it is done well, it will be dedicated to the holy one. I believe that the holy one will be happy and you will all have a great achievement."
Liu San-dao was so excited that he shivered and blared, and he was about to flow. When he ran like a dog, did he arrange it?
Chapter 32 Predicted setbacks
Just half an hour later, more than a dozen old carpenters with cocoons in the workshop under the supervision of the Lieutenant Colonel respectfully knelt in a row and waited for the department to instruct Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian after taking the door for such ostentation and extravagance or some could not bear to these craftsmen inside the leading two look Hu spent less is also more than 60 years old, how to make these fifty-year-old older than himself kneel? However, it is not good for Xiao Xian to reprimand some kind of enthusiasm. Liu Sandao frowned slightly and said, "Since then, if the Lieutenant Colonel’s Office is not officially promoted to the court, it will go to this kneeling ceremony, hug a fist or yi, that is, come here. A few old people all end up with a Hu stool and sit down and talk about business."
"Adult can fold evil spirit I’ve been waiting! It’s been 40 or 50 years since the old man started his prison as an apprentice, but I haven’t seen any less prison or department order to sit down … Alas, I got it for your kindness. "
Xiao Xian’s firm eyes were fixed on those craftsmen, and it was not good to kiss up to them again when he saw Liu San-dao. When he sat on a Hu stool, Xiao Xian took out a roll of extremely thin linen paper from his sleeve, which was cut into small pieces about the size of the later sixteen, and then ground it for a while. He took out a rabbit’s hair and dipped it in thick ink and wrote it in block letters.
"Heaven and earth, the universe, the universe, the universe, the sun and the moon, the sun and the moon, the columns …"
Yes, what Xiao Xian wrote was the Thousand-Character Works compiled by Zhou Xingsi, a scholar who lived in Confucianism more than ten years ago, and the Three Thousand Books was enlightened by later generations. Now this thousand-character works have been published at this time of the emperor’s ten years, and it will take hundreds of years for the Three-Character Classics and Hundred Family Names to appear. Xiao Xian is not going to be unconventional, but naturally he is trying to write the Thousand-Character Works.
Xiao Xian slightly estimated that if he wrote a page in lower case, he could write a hundred words if he was a junior at the 16th National Congress. If he wrote 32 words, there were 400 words. He didn’t intend to finish it, but he wrote six or seven lines, about 200 words. Then he took a piece of elm board and pushed the wet tissue paper pavement in front of an old craftsman. Some handwriting was printed on the board because the ink penetrated the back of the paper and it didn’t dry up. Even if it wasn’t printed, it was reliable to compare and see some outlines.
"Is it possible to carve these words on the board according to the official handwriting?"
First, the old craftsman breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Is this difficult? It was also carved when it was originally built for the imperial court. "
"Be careful not to let you engrave the words, but to engrave the blank part-that is, the words should be engraved in yangwen, not in yinwen." Xiao Xian was afraid that the craftsman would misunderstand or took a photo.
"Yangwen? It’s not difficult for the imperial court to carve it like this before, but it’s not difficult to double the manual time work-if you let the little old son do it alone, you can always carve more than 100 strokes and 50 or 60 strokes with less incense (half an hour). "
"Then you will work hard-the official won’t let you work in vain. In addition to the court’s reimbursement, the handwriting is clear, and every hundred words will be rewarded with a dollar. After that, the official will send you another assignment."
When I heard this, the eyes of the craftsmen lit up. They are all the most skilled carpenters. Their hands and feet are extremely fast. If they concentrate on working for five hours a day except for a break-this kind of fine work is no better than selling coolies. If they work for longer every day, there will be no accuracy, and they will be prone to mistakes and their efficiency will plummet. Five hours is already full load-then it is an average of 1,500 words a day, and there are more than a dozen extra money. In the past month, there has also been half a sum of money, and there are still people willing to do it.
After all, a bucket of white rice in the first year of the emperor’s prosperity is only 20 or 30 yuan. It is not a small subsidy for a family to buy seven kilograms of rice a day.
……
The day passed quickly, and Xiao Xian almost returned to that kind of practice, that is, practicing calligraphy all day, cultivating students’ health, and writing thousands of words by hand. There are some famous articles in ancient times, from "Thousand Characters" to "Selected Works of Zhao", but every time Xiao Xian writes it, he gives it to a few craftsmen to carve it one page at a time, and several craftsmen can actually catch up with Xiao Xian’s writing speed.
Xiao Xian, who has seen for more than a thousand years, certainly knows that the most efficient printing technology before the industrial age is movable type printing-of course, movable type printing also has several font materials and dye materials subdivided, which involves many details of material science, and Xiao Xian certainly can’t figure it out.
However, after living in Da Sui for more than half a year, he was fully knowledgeable and integrated into Da Sui’s reading day. When Xiao Xian tried to grab the first bucket of gold in his era through printing, he had to have some doubts about whether movable type could reach the sky in one step.
The first reason is that the technology of this era is too backward-even the carving and printing have a trace of the most primitive prototype. After copying the technology of epigraphy and stele extension in the Six Dynasties, the first handwriting is still in yin, not in yang, so the amount of ink in printing is first of all three or five times the multipolar wave of yang characters in later generations; At the same time, because of the much ink, the paper is soaked badly, and the handwriting is blurred because of the infiltration of ink, which ensures that the legibility of the words is relatively large and can be printed on one side, which is twice as much as that of the reverse printing of a piece of paper in the future.
If we can’t stand the evolution from the technology of stele extension to the original printing, then the main way of broadcasting in this era is to read the facts by hand, and now most secular people really copy them by hand; Printing in white on a black background is almost 100% Buddhist scriptures and Taoist classics-this is mainly because monks and Taoists like to set up Buddhist scriptures when building temples (pagodas and other buildings are often called "Buddhist scriptures" on the outer corridors). To speed up the dissemination of Buddhism and Taoism, it is often positive to print Buddhist scriptures.
At the same time, due to the backward printing technology, the papermaking technology and printing ink technology in this era are backward by binding and cutting technology. Obviously, all the shortcomings are not ready for large-scale printing. Because paper does not need double-sided printing, most of them are heavily infiltrated, and the reverse side of hemp paper will be exposed. Because there is no need to print page by page in this era, it is not thread-bound and will not be cut into small pages, but a long piece of paper is wound around a wooden or ivory scroll like the bamboo slips era-this is why the word unit quantifier has been "rolled" in ancient times, because these are really rolled up.
It is easy to be frustrated if you put all your eggs in one basket without leaving a cause behind.
Otherwise, after a day’s hard work in lettering, when Xiao Xian asked craftsmen to arrange several boards vertically and horizontally according to each word, saw them into small types and tried to rearrange them into movable type, the first annoyance was met by Xiao Xian.
Craftsmen can’t read, they can engrave, but it is much more difficult for them to read, find and typeset than to engrave. It takes a craftsman a few minutes to find one in a pile of words. Although Xiao Xian tried to make them classify these words according to radicals or rhymes for easy retrieval and search, there are no such things as The Five Classics and Guang Yun in this era. Needless to say, craftsmen don’t know any rhymes, and even serious readers don’t understand the division of rhymes.
Xiao Xian tried to find some readers to typeset regardless of confidentiality for the time being, but after tentatively understanding the price, he found that because of the relatively few readers in this era, every reader "has no worries about employment", and the salary of each reader is more than ten times that of a carpenter … Who let there be almost no poor brother in this era?
In fact, there is no need for Xiao Xian to take chances after this incident, because he himself ate this bitter experience when he was five years old. After his grandfather was beheaded by the court, Xiao Xian relied on copying and selling to support his mother. Now he only has an iron buddy, Shen Guangyi, in Daxing, and his father and brother in Guang Shen are also employed by copying and selling money, and he has a clear mind about the wages for repeated work.
