It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Not only Rongshan Academy received invitations, but all the well-known academies and famous scholars received invitations to Dongcang Academy lectures.As usual, even if it is not for the face of Li Shufu, the former head of the great Confucianism, most of these great Confucianists will go there, because Nale County is a place with a prosperous literary style and rich learning, and there are many talents. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to discuss and debate than to work behind closed doors at home.

However, today is different from the past, and the Dongcang Academy will not change color when they hear about it, but they also regard it as a place of right and wrong, so the first reaction of most people when they receive the invitation is to hesitate and decline.

At this time, the role of Xie Shi's thoughts on the invitations came to the fore. The colored invitations are light blue, stone green, indigo, bright red and other colors. If it is a single-color paper, it is fine, which is not the case in this dynasty. Rarely, Xue Taojian and Xie Gongjian are famous papers. To put it bluntly, they are expensive colored letterheads. They are reluctant to use them for writing and writing. Most scholars only use bookmarks to write poems and lyrics, thinking they are elegant. Act of.

However, Xie Shi, as a fake ancient who traveled from modern times, in order to recruit famous teachers for his academy, naturally he would not just stop at the level of copying and improving the technology of colored paper.Xie Shi first recruited the manager of the bookstore, asked about it, and learned that the most expensive paper on the market today is only pure color paper, and the best colored paper is just adding petals, gilding powder, etc. to the paper, which is time-consuming, laborious and labor-intensive. It consumes a lot, so it is not affordable for ordinary people.

Xie Shi said in his heart, single-color paper is not uncommon, let's print multi-color paper!Add some hollowed out paper carvings, lace depictions, and small patterns of figure printing on it, and you won't be afraid to stand out and attract this group of ancient people.

Xie Shi immediately asked the printing workers in the bookstore to brainstorm how to make colorful paper!The boss threw down a plan, whether it was to please the scholars to keep their jobs or the workers who were greedy for high bonuses, they all tried their best to fulfill Xie Shi's request.Xie Shi himself is not idle, he has color printing technology!

Traveling through ancient times, since there is time to prepare in advance, not to mention the necessary prescriptions such as soap, glass and mirrors, the four great inventions must be memorized, right?After all, Xie Shi didn't know which dynasty he would be thrown into. If he traveled to the pre-Qin period, the four great inventions would be enough.So when collecting information on memory engraving and printing, Xie Shi also read the entire history of ancient printing, including the color printing technology that only appeared during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he didn't remember the key points, and the details are a little fuzzy now, but Xie Shi didn't invent it by himself.Now he has gathered a group of skilled craftsmen from all over the country who were found for him by Han Ji, Cen Yu and others. As soon as he has an idea, someone will help him immediately.

Furthermore, Fujian has been one of the three major engraving and printing centers in the country since the former dynasty. Although the bookstore under the name of Dongcang Academy usually only prints textbooks for students, collections of classics and history, and collections of literati, it is not very eye-catching, but it is quite profitable. The old master who is in charge of printing is also a master of the family. The skills passed down from his grandfather's generation, if the deed is not held in the hands of the Han family, he is a slave of the Han family. I don't know how many people outside want it with money Poach people away.

Therefore, even though Xie Shi only remembered some rough theories and was a pure layman, the master master of the bookstore received his few words of guidance, went back to study with a group of masters, and actually made what Xie Shi wanted !Sure enough, there are some things that should be done by professionals. When he was happy and thanked, he immediately asked the steward to reward the masters with a lot of silver taels, and doubled their monthly salaries.

After the letter came out, Xie Shi would naturally not treat his family badly. He not only quickly asked the bookstore to use harder paper, but also printed a batch of invitations according to his design plan, sent them to various places, and returned them to Mr. Song Shou and others. The masters of the academy gave some.

This new style of paper made these literati so rare, they all came to his door and asked him where the paper came from, why he had never seen it before, could it be a new paper brought from Suzhou and Hangzhou?Can it be sold?What is the asking price?The front is all foreshadowing, and the last two questions are the key points!I don’t know which bookstore printed such elegant and exquisite paper. Even if it’s one or two sheets, it’s okay if they haven’t seen it. Now that they have seen it, how can they not be tempted as scholars? But, no matter what, you have to grit your teeth and prepare some!

Xie Shi couldn’t laugh or cry, he had to take time out to explain to the visiting gentlemen one by one when he was busy preparing for other lectures, that this was not some exotic Suzhou-Hangzhou product, but a new paper produced by his own bookstore, and the masters also agreed. There is no need to buy it yourself, the academy has set a monthly amount of paper notes for each teacher and student, but it has not yet been mass-produced, and next month, each teacher and student can receive a certain share of paper notes for free!

One or two of the masters were skeptical about the statement that the paper came from their own academy bookstore. How can such a mediocre bookstore produce such a good paper?But the teacher benefits announced later by Xie Shi are a complete surprise to them!

Not only that, in order to thank and retain these precious teachers of the academy, Xie Shi waved his hand and said, starting from this month, all the faculty and staff of the academy can receive a big gift package of rest and bathing from Bazhen Pavilion every month. It contains cool jade dew, hair cream, soap and other things. It can be said that the contents of this gift bag alone are worth the Shuxiu of the masters of the academy!

The masters were so dazed by the big pie falling from the sky that they couldn't touch the ground and their chests were agitated. and treatment, searched the entire Great Mongolian Dynasty, and couldn't find another one!

Just by looking at the attitude of the masters in the Academy towards the new paper, one can imagine the reaction of the other scholars who received the invitation to the lecture. The invitation is more exquisite and beautiful than this simple letter paper. It can be discarded, thank you It took a lot of rice paper to come up with the design plan, thanks to the fact that he learned how to draw when he was young, so he didn't miss much after so many years!

As soon as these scholars who planned to push the lecture took out this unique invitation card, their hearts were already shaken. When they saw the bookmarks that were obviously out of order, they felt itchy and turbulent!And the lecturers on "The Way of Science" by Xie Shi and Qin Sui were excited, but most of them came here!The rest of the people who didn't come, when they heard people talk about the situation on the day of the Dongcang Academy's lecture, they beat their chests and feet, regretting that they missed this grand gathering of literati.

Speaking of which, Xie Shi actually didn't spend much thought on the invitation post, he only gave a book plan and verbal guidance on color printing, and most of his remaining energy was spent on a big play.

Three days before the lecture, after dinner, he came outside the big lecture hall of the academy when he thanked him.At this time, the front of the lecture hall has been greatly changed, and it has been re-arranged from the inside to the outside. I saw a stage in the middle that covered the sky and the sun. At this time, the outside was covered with a curtain, and the scenery inside could not be seen clearly. It is enough to see how big the scene is, and there are dozens of rows of seats arranged underneath. If it is crowded, this small square can accommodate thousands of people.

As soon as the steward who was yelling and directing under the stage saw Xie Xie, he immediately ran over in small steps and apologized repeatedly: "Officer, you are here, please wait for a while, the big guy is still in the process of debugging, It will be ready soon!"

Xie Shi waved his hand to soothe his heart, "It's nothing, don't worry about me, you just need to adjust it carefully, especially the lighting and music, there must be no mistakes, it must achieve the effect I said." Otherwise, this play that he had planned for a long time would not be able to stand out from the Yuan dramas in the world today and amaze the audience.

"You can rest assured, the craftsmen you arrange are all skilled in this!" The steward gave a thumbs up and flattered Xie Shi, "I have watched them and the little gentlemen arrange a little bit for more than ten days. , Installing the equipment, eye-opening, I thought I had seen a magic trick!"

Xie Shi didn't care about his flattery, but was amused by his last sentence: "Didn't you watch the craftsmen and students make these things all the time, you should know that this is not some fairy method, it is Something that is plausible and realistic.”

The left is just some light and shadow refraction, sound transmission, and the knowledge of the principle of leverage. These are the things he told the students when he was in the "Gezhi Class". Therefore, when arranging these things, he also let the students participate , and study with craftsmen.Although he was the only one present at this meeting, some students came to check and accept the results with him later, and by the way, the first program rehearsal.

The steward smiled and nodded yes, but he didn't think so in his heart. He only believed that the officials of their family were reincarnated from the heavenly emperors, so they had their own magic power to make these strange and weird fairy things!

Soon, a group of elegant young men in blue and white gowns lined up to the auditorium, led by Han Ning.Xie Shi smiled and said: "Little gentlemen, today we will take a look at the achievements of our teachers and students over the past few months."

The rest of the students were very excited, because Gein will perform on stage later!Only Han Ning remained calm, and Shi Dong asked, "Sir, are we waiting backstage now?"

"No, this meeting is all from our own people, regardless of other people, first watch the singing and dancing performances in front of the meeting, and comment on it later, so that the craftsmen and troupe can improve it later, and you can go to it when it's time for the recitation session Not too late."

"Yes, sir!" A group of students tried to hide their excitement and sat down on the seats one after another.Not wanting to wait for a long time to thank, the craftsmen speeded up and finally prepared everything before dark. The steward trotted over.
