Chapter 109: Hanlin Academy was controlled
Under the operation of Hou Tanhua, the movable type printing house was opened soon. In order to reduce the cost of papermaking, Jian Ruonan casually provided a more cost-saving papermaking technique.
The craftsmen, the venue, and all kinds of procedures were all handled by Hou Tanhua. Jian Ruonan just moved his mouth and provided detailed technical support and gossip support.
Although Hou Tanhua was in charge, Jian Ruonan held a majority of the shares.
Since the movable type printing house was opened, it was a bit of a waste to just print gossip. Jian Ruonan discussed with Hou Tanhua and decided to trick his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy into taking out the rare and precious books at home to print them to make a name for the printing house.
In ancient times, many noble families had their own libraries. Many extremely rare books were passed down as heirlooms to their descendants and were not easily loaned out.
Scarcity makes things valuable. The fewer books there are, the higher their value. If
there are too many books, the meaning of collecting them will be lost. This is also one of the reasons why many rare books are eventually lost.
Rare and precious books are very important in the hearts of readers. Some people even joke: "You can borrow your wife, but you can't borrow your books."
When Jian Ruonan proposed to borrow the rare copy from the Hanlin, Hou Tanhua was a little embarrassed: "This is a bit difficult."
Jian Ruonan suggested: "Let's work together. I will use my high moral principles to kidnap him, and you can tempt him with benefits." Hou
Tanhua rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, maybe I don't have to do anything, Jian Daizhao can do it alone."
The next day, Jian Ruonan did not doze off when she was on duty at 5 a.m., and after the duty was over, she took the initiative to say: "Ruonan Printing House has officially started operations today." "
You can take out those historical books and rare copies in your homes, print thousands or tens of thousands of copies, and sell them. Not only can you make money, but the rare copies will not be lost, and the culture can be widely spread! This is a good deed that will be passed down through the ages!!"
This proposal was immediately resisted by all the Hanlin.
No one was willing.
If the number is too large, will it still be a rare copy?
Then what's the point of collecting?
No, no!
Jian Ruonan: "We scholars should not be so selfish. Being an official is to serve the people, not to seek personal gain!"
The old-fashioned Hanlin shook their heads, "Jian Taizhao can try to print some common books first, such as "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Classic"."
"The cost is low, and it's cheap to sell. It's okay to make some money."
Some even lied: "I don't have any rare books at home."
[Just now, your family has a library with more than ten rare books! ]
[You have to swallow a thousand needles to lie! ]
Lying Hanlin: "..."
Swallow a needle if you want to.
Swallow ten thousand needles and don't expect me to take out a rare book.
It's better than a rare book hanging on the street.
【Hey, this guy not only lied, he also had sex with his concubines...】
【Tsk tsk tsk, what hobbies, he looks like a normal man? ! 】
Lying Hanlin: "..."
Other Hanlin: ! ! What else, you tell me now! ! !
【He is not only addicted to being a loser, he often brags about being a "king mushroom" in front of his concubines, but he doesn't know that those concubines call him "enoki mushroom" behind his back! ! 】
【Yue, I don't want to eat mushrooms recently! 】
【This guy also...】
Lying Hanlin: "Ahhh, I'll hand it in!!! I'll hand in all the rare books in my family!!"
Damn, who would let others hand in rare books like this! Jian Daizhao
has no martial ethics!
The lying Hanlin was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head and his face flushed!
Hou Tanhua smiled knowingly, hehe, he knew it.
Once Jian Daizhao makes a move, it will be easy to capture!
He doesn't even need to do anything, Jian Daizhao can defeat thousands of troops alone!
The other Hanlin colleagues looked at each other, regretting that they had only eaten half of the melon and were not very satisfied.
They were also worried that if they did not hand in the unique copy, they would be exposed.
Everyone looked at each other, and someone immediately used the urine escape method to get away.
[Frequent urination again? It's really a suffering to have a bad kidney. This person not only urinates frequently and urgently, but also can't urinate completely. He can't hold his urine even when he sneezes...]
The one who escaped from urination, Pan Zhoudan, turned his head, turned back and sat down, "I'll hand it in, I'll hand it in!"
Fortunately, he knelt down quickly. If he was two seconds slower, his underwear would be stripped off!
Frequent urination was cured instantly!
Hanlin colleagues: "..."
If this continues, if you don't hand in your collection of books at home today, their melon will be the headline story of the printing house tomorrow!
Jian Daizhao's move was really a slap in the face to kill the old master. After
thinking for a moment, the Hanlin colleagues reluctantly said that they would hand in the ancient books, rare books and valuable books in their homes tomorrow.
[Hey, didn't the top scholar say that it was difficult to convince everyone? Why did they agree to hand them out so easily? Why? ]
Hanlin: "..."
Why? Why?
You said why? It's because
you forced me to do it!
It's really too much to expose the news if I don't hand it in! !
My rare book! ! !
Wuwuwu——
[Yo, you are worthy of being a colleague of the Hanlin Academy, your enlightenment is so high! ]
Hanlin wanted to cry but had no tears, and their hearts were bleeding.
Dare not to be high? If
you don't have high enlightenment, you will be infamous for thousands of years!
So angry.
Hou Tanhua then stepped forward and said: "Anyone who is willing to publish his book collection can buy shares in the printing house according to the value of the books published. The preferential rights of shareholders of the printing house are as follows: 1. After the printing of rare copies, everyone will have a share. 2. The shares of the printing house can be passed on to future generations. 3. The right to read the latest stories is the first."
Hearing that they can have the first right to read and get rare copies from other people, and most importantly, make money, the Hanlin scholars felt a little more balanced.
Jian Ruonan shouted the slogan: "Print books for the rise of Daxia!"
Hanlin: "..."

After Ruonan Printing House opened, it quickly became a monopoly in the capital with affordable prices, high quality, and rare and unique copies.
Printing books has high profits, and the entire Hanlin Academy became wealthy all of a sudden, and quickly got rid of the reputation of poor Hanlin.
The news that Jian Daizhao opened a printing house soon reached Tan Tai Mo's ears, and Tan Tai Mo took time out to visit.
Jian Ruonan was watching the craftsmen printing books in the printing house. When he heard that the fourth prince was coming, he was overjoyed.
[The points ATM is here! ! ! ] Jian Ruonan: [Big system, get ready quickly, this lady is going to make a lot of money! ]
Big system: [Okay! Come on, Nan Nan! ! 】
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, you must control yourself. Don't let Miss Five control you again! ]
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
[Don't worry, I am well prepared this time. ]
Before leaving, the Fourth Prince prepared himself a lot. He predicted that Miss Five would shock him with hybrid rice.
When the hybrid rice was taken out, he would definitely be expressionless.
When Tan Tai Mo entered the printing house, Jian Ruonan was watching the craftsmen carving the positive and negative text molds of single words.
Tan Tai Mo saw this kind of printing method for the first time and it was a bit strange.
The craftsmen carved out the single words, arranged them, and then applied ink to the molds to easily print out a book.
After printing a book, the molds can be picked out and used repeatedly.
It is efficient and reduces costs.
It is more than a hundred times better than the woodblock printing widely circulated in Daxia. Not only is the book plate of woodblock printing inconvenient to store, but it is also inconvenient to change it if a word is engraved wrongly.
The printing house of Miss Wu saves much more time and effort than woodblock printing, and it also has a more advanced and cheap papermaking technology. No wonder the book prices are much cheaper than other places.
Such technology is conducive to the dissemination of cultural knowledge and is a great feat that benefits the people!
Tan Tai Mo's heart was surging.
Miss Wu really can bring him surprises every time.
He took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the ripples in his heart.
Jian Ruonan looked at Tan Tai Mo with a smile and handed him a book with both hands: "Your Highness Prince Rui, this is written by me. It has just been printed and is still warm."
Before taking the book, Tan Tai Mo took a deep breath.
Even if it is a rare and unique book, this king cannot panic.
Stay calm... relax... breathe...
I took it and looked at it. I saw that the cover said: "Postpartum Care for Sows".
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
What the hell? !
Why did you give this king such a book?
Tan Tai Mo flipped the book and read two pages. This book is not a funny book, but a detailed and professional veterinary book.
Immediately afterwards, Jian Ruonan handed over another book "Precautions for Cow Birth".
Once these two books are promoted, I don’t know how many people will benefit.
Tan Tai Mo finally couldn’t hold it in.
[Ding——]
[We have detected that the character being conquered is emotionally fluctuating, and the points are +60. ]
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, you are really passionate about farming! 】
I was able to endure both papermaking and movable type printing, but I failed in "Postpartum Care of Sows"!
Tan Tai Mo: [......]

Jian Ruonan: I have it all figured out!
