Dress to be a celebrity

The engraved wax paper is pasted under the gauze, clamped firmly with copper springs, a new paper is laid on the bottom of the printing box, and the gauze is pressed down, and the roller is dipped in ink and rolled up and down softly... a neat and clear , The cover with slender handwriting is printed.

The successive successes of the experiments aroused Song Shi's desire to create.

Is it too thin just to print hard-tipped calligraphy?Hard-tipped calligraphy on the inner pages is enough to save effort. Should the cover change several fonts to make it more attractive?Nowadays, in the prosperous age of brushes, the aesthetics of scholars is more inclined to the round, light, black and large pavilions. When engraving wax paper, you can also use the double-tick coloring method commonly used in calligraphy and painting to create a brush effect!

He thought it was good, took another piece of clean wax paper, sketched a bold "Song" character in the middle of the paper, and then lined it up along the inside of the outline with the tip of a pen to hollow out the character.Engraving this single character takes more time than engraving the entire sheet of characters just now, and the color of the wax paper does not change much after engraving, so it takes a lot of eyesight to stare at the paper very carefully.

He sat up and straightened his waist, put the printed waste paper in, clamped the wax paper again, rolled the ink evenly on the ink palette with the roller, and brushed it slowly.

The effect is good, most of the places are covered with glossy ink, only a few places that have not been scraped off have white streaks exposed.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you are familiar with it, it will be fine.

And it's not that he boasted, after looking at these few blank fine lines without ink for a long time, you can still see a bit of the artistic sense of woodcut prints.Wouldn't it make the book more advanced to add an engraving on the cover or inside illustrations?

Even if the engraving book has illustrations, it must be printed on a single page and inserted in the book. His wax engraving can be printed on a piece of paper with pictures and text interlaced. This printing method is amazing—for example, Give it to Senior Brother Huan Xiao, and you will be able to directly issue a few papers!

Song Shi fantasized so much that his heart was swayed, he quickly opened the Jinjiang website, and engraved a copy of "Vegetation Matching on Embankments" to stop his shock.

He was just about to clamp the engraved stencil to the gauze when he suddenly felt something in his heart—this paper has not been inked yet, and if you don’t look closely, it is just a blank stencil. No one will know that the paper is engraved on the paper 600 years later.In the future, if you need to use the knowledge of planting plants on riverbanks and cannot remember the original text, you only need to take out this edition and put ink on it for printing, and you will be able to print a document with no words written.

From now on, I no longer need to secretly lock my papers in the room to recite papers, and I don’t need to be afraid of copying papers for fear of being discovered, and burn them as soon as I know them by heart...

Technology can really change lives!

Song Shi was immediately invigorated, recalled the most commonly used papers on glass technology with the most data and formulas, and picked up another stencil to carve from scratch.

As soon as he silently started his thesis, he was so busy that he couldn't care about anything else.

County Magistrate Song came to see him several times and heard that he was studying, but he did not see him going out for activities. He was afraid that he would be exhausted from the exams in Fujian, so he would force him out of the house to teach him a lesson: "Didn't Nephew Huan tell you to teach that man?" What kind of altar is named Libei? You go to see it tomorrow. If you want to study, wait until you are in the mansion and ask Nephew Huan to teach you, don’t just lock yourself in the room and study hard.”

Song Shi still wanted to engrave a few more, but his father was right, he really should go and see the pulpit; how is it covered?If this forum can be well managed, it will attract the whole province of Fujian, or even only scholars from Tingzhou prefecture to come here to give speeches or hold debates, it will also greatly enhance the reputation of the county and drive the development of the surrounding economy.

Should it be operated as an annual high-level meeting like the Forum Summit, or should it be open at any time to attract talents from all over the world to come and give lectures?

You have to visit the site first.

The next morning, he changed into a mandarin jacket with narrow sleeves and double breasted, and a bamboo hat, and flew out of the North City Gate.

This trip out of the city happened to pass through the fields they had personally measured after the flood.Some of these fields were returned to the original owners, and some were leased to the original tenants at a fair price according to the tax payable. Now people are cultivating everywhere.

Now it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the wheat seedlings in the dry fields are green, and the early rice in the paddy fields has also been planted.The crops in the fields were fertilized, fertilized, and weeds were weeded, sweating hard to make a living; women carried water to the fields; and children followed to help catch insects and weeds.The bodies of these farmers are still strong, and there is no color on their faces, so it can't be seen that they are people who have just been hit by a disaster.

The horseshoes step on the well-paved official road, and the sound of "The Legend of the White-haired Fairy" is faintly hidden in the wind passing by the ears.

I didn't sing very well, and didn't have any emotion, just like singing ordinary folk songs, I sang it casually to relieve boredom when I went to the fields.However, now that the big households who oppressed the people in the county have been cleaned up, the people no longer need to express their grievances through this song, and they can still like to sing it, which shows that it is a classic that can stand the test of time.

Song Shi listened to the melody in a barren accent, looked at this stretch of endless greenery, and was extremely satisfied, with smiles on his brows and eyes.After passing this stretch of fertile land, you will reach the foot of Jiaoyi Mountain, not far from the official road, there is a piece of flat land, in the middle of which stands the pulpit that he planned before but was completely built by brother Huan Xiao.

It is said to be a pulpit, but a circular high platform like the Washeri stage was built, with a water tank half buried under it for sound amplification.There are circles of low concrete stools around the podium for people to sit and listen to the lectures above.

There was a young scholar giving a lecture on the stage at this time, and the few rows in front of the audience were scattered, and the seats were also Confucian scholars.One of them seemed to stand up and asked something, and the people on the stage gave him a difficult answer and said a few words.After the one in the audience was convinced, other audience members got up and asked the person on the stage a question. The person explained in detail, and it looked a bit like a press conference.

On the outside of the auditorium, there are many people standing and sitting, listening to the scholar's lecture: the sitting ones are dressed luxuriously, but their postures are not stretched enough, as if a little restrained; most of the standing ones are wearing short clothes, looking like farmers or artisans.These people also concentrate on listening to the lecture, but dare not sit in front of them. They all seem to be eager to learn, but they are ashamed of their status and dare not sit with the students.

Lectures are indeed widely welcomed by the masses in this era, and they can be put into practice.

Song Shi nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to the pavilion a little farther away—it was a spacious four-cornered stone pavilion built tens of feet to the north of the pulpit.The roof of the pavilion is paved with blue tiles, and the corners are upturned. The hanging lintel and the eaves pillars on all sides are painted in dark red pig blood color. The white stone fence and benches are surrounded below, which looks very quaint.

The weather was fine at this time, and there were a few people wearing silk shirts sitting in the pavilion, some old and some young, sitting on the porch talking and eating, looking like tourists who came to enjoy the scenery.Outside the kiosk, there are also vendors selling water and snacks, but they have not yet formed a scale.

There is no place to sell things, no place to live, so I can only go to school during the day, and I have to come early and leave late, just like going to work-or go to work in a newly built suburban office building, this experience is not good.It is necessary to build a place where people can live and build a business district, so that scholars who come to attend lectures from other places have a place to live and a place to shop, so that local traders and tourists can flow here and revitalize this scenic spot.

Still have to build!But building an inn alone is too abrupt, it has to be matched with this forum...

By the way, it is said that the social school that is going to be built for the farmers can be built near here!Although the school field is a bit far away, there are dedicated people to cultivate the land, and teachers and students are not required to come to school after planting the land every day, so there is no delay.

Naturally, primary schools have to build dormitories. When building a school, a few rows of empty courtyards are built, just to accommodate talented scholars who come to participate in the forum. Wouldn't it be more suitable for one's status than living in a monk temple or a Taoist temple?During the forum, students can also come and listen to the lectures of famous scholars and talented scholars to broaden their horizons.

It happened that this place is not far from the foot of Jiaoyi Mountain, so we built an open and quiet school with beautiful scenery according to the mountain, so that scholars can enjoy the scenery here, discuss knowledge with colleagues, live happily and forget to return. Wuping has become an examination base where famous teachers gather.

Hmm... Why does this statement sound a bit cruel?

Song Shi thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he took off the Four Treasures of the Study from under the saddle, drew a picture of the fish scales of the new primary school, and roughly wrote four to it.He took another piece of paper, sketched a rough outline of the mountain scenery in the distance, added and subtracted pen and ink to make it look more like a high-ranking chair, and drew a white circular podium at the foot of the mountain near the center.

——Wuping, the podium surrounded by the chair mountain, is waiting for a celebrity worthy of the chair to take the stage.

He ran around outside, and sure enough, he gained a lot. When he returned to the Yamen, he asked his father to allocate funds to add a social school to the county.County magistrate Song looked at the fish scale drawing he drew, asked about the size of the area and how to build it, and said, "It's a pity that such a big school is only a primary school. Since my son wants to build a school, why don't we buy this piece of land with money?" Guandi, invite some good gentlemen to build an academy, and then hang a sign called 'Song Shi Academy' to make your name famous."

Forget it... A private academy can be built, but the name doesn't matter.

Song Shi threw down the picture and said with a wry smile: "It should be called Wuping Academy. Isn't Zhu Zijian's academy still called 'Hanquan Jingshe' and 'Yungu Academy'? I have never heard of his old man building a Zhuzi Academy. This academy There is no need to rush to hire a teacher or find students when it is built, first hire a child student or a student to teach the children of the common people in the village, or send the children from the county's nursery home to study, and recruit students when there are good teachers in the future."

The gazebo is called "Jianxian Pavilion", and the forum is called "Siqi Lecture Forum". First, it means "seeing the virtuous and thinking about the same", and secondly, it follows the style of contention among a hundred schools of thought in Jixia Academy of Qi State. Unconventional.

He will write the inscription to commemorate the establishment of the forum and the gazebo in the mansion, and when the monument is officially erected, he will hold the first Fujian Celebrity and Talent Exchange Conference—these lectures held by these scholars themselves are too small to be worthy of Brother Huan With such a well-built forum, the government still has to take the lead in organizing a grand cultural event.

He stayed in the county for a few more days and invited gardeners to arrange the landscape according to his wishes and guide the craftsmen to build schools.The school was finally turned into a private school according to the intention of County Magistrate Song. The elementary schools, elementary schools, and universities were taught together. A long courtyard wall was built in the middle to separate the three classes of boys, Confucian boys, and students. The closer they live to the mountain, the children live in a gentle place below the mountain.

At this time, because there were no suitable teachers, the Confucian Children's Academy was first built, which was divided into two parts: the school building and the study room. The school building was divided into the inner room, the outer room, and the upper room.

Song Shi estimated the time, one month would be enough to build the school, and it was time to hold a forum during the May Day holiday.

The holidays of the Dazheng Dynasty were basically copied from the Song Dynasty. Originally, there was a three-day holiday for the summer solstice in May.Later, the Taizu of this dynasty probably complained that the modern May Day Golden Week was shortened from seven days to three days, so when booking the holiday, he specially arranged a seven-day holiday for May Day, and then made up for the summer solstice holiday, so that he could rest for ten days.

Even if someone came from Fuzhou to hold the summit, that would be enough.

At that time, I will bring Senior Brother Huan Xiao to see what it looks like when the pulpit he personally supervised is full of people!

Song Shi packed his luggage smugly, asked someone to pass a post to the little brother to set a time, took his beloved mimeograph machine and engraved secret documents, and arranged for a car to go to the mansion.

His father told him to take his family servants and go to the back house to pick a maid to serve him personally, but Song Shi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I have lived in Huan's family for so many years, and the family members in his courtyard treat me like us It’s the same as the family, no need to add another person, it’s a lot of birth.”

Mr. Song thought about it for the same reason, so he didn't care about him anymore, and only took Aunt Ji to send him out of the county on the day he left, and watched the small car he was riding towards Fucheng gracefully.

The mountain roads outside the city were rugged, and driving in a car was much slower than riding a horse, so during the Song Dynasty, we had a rest in the inn on the way, and when we arrived in Fucheng, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and the sun was blazing.However, when he arrived at the long pavilion outside the city, he was admiring the mountains on both sides through the window, when he saw a figure in a white veil riding a horse galloping from far to near.

The man pulled the rein just before the car window, stopped quickly, pressed the window frame and said: "You came sooner."

Although there are green trees beside the road, it is not directly exposed to the sun, but the heat in Fujian is a kind of humid heat, and the air is steamy. Through the window, you can see that face is red from the sun, and sweat is dripping from the forehead. I don’t know. Is it sweat flowing into the eyes, even the end of the eyes are a little red.

Song Shi hurriedly opened the window screen, handed him a clean towel, and told him to wipe his face and hide in the car from the sun.Although it's not cool in the car, at least it doesn't have to be exposed to the sun.Huan Ling wiped his sweat, but refused to go in. He just said, "I'm hot. When I sit in the car, even the cabin is steaming hot, and even you are uncomfortable. Why don't you go back on horseback? If you walk faster, you can enjoy the cool wind." .”

He let the carriage pass, turned the horse's head, and took Song Shi back to the Tongpan Yamen.

Song Shi had already lived in the Yamen after the judgment, so he didn't have to be polite to him again, he got out of the car with the mimeograph and wax paper in his hands, and rubbed against him in the hall, his upper body leaned slightly towards him, showing a mysterious smile, Said in a breathy voice: "Senior brother, you turn around, I have a baby to show you."

He had never been in such a mood in the Huan family, and this smile fell in Huan Ling's eyes, and there was a kind of amazement that "joys like nine springs".

There was no one else in the house, only a young man was sweeping the courtyard.Huan Ling didn't mention these things, just followed his will, went out and asked the boy to play in front, then stared at the tightly wrapped bundle in his hand and asked: "What do you want to show Brother Yu?"

Song Shi unpacked the baggage layer by layer, took out a mimeograph machine that looked like a wooden box, and picked out the one full of characters from the piles of paper wrapped in oil paper at the bottom, took out a sheet, and showed it to Huan Ling. .

"This is a printing technique that I have newly researched. Brother, let's see if this printing technique is good."

Well, how can it be bad!

As soon as Huan Ling saw that the strokes on the paper were extremely thin, but the words were clear and clear, as if chiseled out by a knife and an axe, he sighed "Okay" from his chest, looked up at Song Shi, and asked in amazement: "What are you doing?" Printed? Ordinary engraving, if the calligraphy and painting are carved too thin, it is easy to carve broken pens, how can it be printed so thin, so clear and neat, and thin but not weak, with strong bones...

"Everyone in the world thinks that the Song version is the best, and all printed books learn Song style. I only see this page you printed, which is enough to break away from the model of the Song version and become an independent style!"
