Chapter 250 Printing (3)

Mimicroprinting, some people object to it, but it is also convenient and practical. Yang Heng made full use of the convenience of mimicroprinting and printed a lot of exercises and lecture notes for some students who took the imperial examination. But it turned out to be a big deal, which made the students take advantage of it. You should know that some things were sorted out by Li Gang, and the effect was just right.

However, this so-called student is naturally not a student in Yang Heng's academy, because his academy has only been officially opened for several months, and no one has reached the level of the imperial examination. Even if it has reached it, they are unwilling to take the imperial examination. What they expect is to be an official directly, and to say that they have the ambition to participate in the imperial examination, there are also some, but they have not yet reached the level of being able to take the imperial examination. Although this era does not pay special attention to grades, but their connections, their face still needs it.

Even students in the academy were very happy to use mimeographed lecture notes. Why? They could have a lot of time to communicate with teachers and classmates, even calligraphy, and they could calm down and concentrate on writing. They even used the paper provided by Yang Heng. They felt that whether they wrote or painted, they were first-class and good. Even if they wrote a little poorly, the ink of the paper would cover up some shortcomings for them. This mainly depends on the good ink and the good paper. As a result, Yang Heng's home and even the princess's mansion were people who came to ask for paper all day long. The paper in Luoyang was expensive, but that's not the case.

What was Yang Heng doing at this time? He was not content with the status quo, but began to study real printing techniques. Is there no printing techniques at this time? It is not because Yang Heng has seen some Buddhist scriptures on the market. And this time he asked the students for books. There were some books in which they were obviously printed, but the ink was not very qualified, which led to the ink traces being light and thick, some of which were not clear, and some of which were actually a pool of ink traces. It was probably because the parents of these students asked them to fool Yang Heng, but Yang Heng was not angry. If these books were left, it might be more valuable than the original ones. This is an important evidence for research and even proving the existence of printing techniques, because each book received will contain notes checked by Li Gang and his idle seals.

What is Li Gang's seal? It is engraved with Beishan Immortals, and why is Beishan? The place where Yang Hengjian Academy is called Beishan. Because this place is a small hill, there is an unknown local name, and people in Chang'an City all call it Beishan. So Li Gang carved his seal as Beishan Immortals, the great scholars, doctors, teachers and other literati like to carve some seals they use, some used woodcuts, some used bamboo carvings, and naturally some used jade carvings, and some used some used strange stones. There is no way. Since the paper came into being, some of the bamboo carving techniques of ancestors were no longer used, so they were changed to carving seals, especially these seals were carved in reverse fonts, which further showed their skills, especially some particularly complicated fonts.

Yang Heng is no exception. He carved a god-given idle person, which is difficult to understand. But when someone asked him, he just smiled and said nothing. What do you say, is it to commemorate my identity as a time traveler?

Since there was printing, Yang Heng could see from the paper that these were all woodblock printing things, and even if the woodblock was not very good, then let's start with woodblocks. Yang Heng was very familiar with this. In his previous life, some books were printed with woodblocks in order to imitate the antiques. They were all printed with vertical lines, written from right to left, and they were also divided into vertical lines with some grids. Then they were made according to this way. The layout looked much better and even looked a little refreshing. Although there were no punctuation at this time, it was not difficult for Yang Heng to do as long as the space was used. It was a bit too early to invent punctuation at this time, so it would be better to use punctuation for students first.

Woodblock printing is considered the second generation of Yang Heng's products, but these products are naturally not for students to use, but high-end products sold to the outside world, and even good things for gifts. Even those second-generation students will each send one copy. The purpose is not to let them learn, but to let them show off. neat fonts, neat line-bound books, and neat books that turn the pages of the book on the left. They look very high-end, especially when the students are on holiday, three or five students, one book in their hands, pretending to be shaking their heads, and sometimes they feel that this is even more pretentious than folding fans.

Of course, Yang Heng printed these books not to let students pretend, but only this method can be sold well, right? And those poor students had to pretend with mimeographed books. If no one reads them, they would have to hold a book, but these mimeographed books are much thicker than these woodblocked books, because there are more contents in it, and the mimeographed characters are smaller, so there are more things to be displayed naturally. There are also many contents for poor students, so there are quite a lot of contents in it, even the original text, meaning, and some controversy are engraved in it.

Most of the books in the carved version are original books, and there are few that have a lot of content, but they are all printed in booklets one by one. In this way, Yang Heng's income will increase. Yang Heng's trading principle is to take care of both high-end and low-end products, while mid-range customers have to buy mimeographs and pretend to buy carved versions.

This kind of thing will naturally arouse some disgust from literati, but so what? Anyway, fans are no longer popular on the streets of Chang'an, but popular people hand in a book that opens, and sometimes even shake their heads. So the merchants who robbed Yang Heng of the fan were unlucky. They used good silk and good wood folding fans, and not many people bought them. The one who bought folding fans was changed to buying books and pretending. There were some who actually used fans, and there were no famous calligraphy and paintings on them, so how could they write and draw on the satin surface? Although it was strong, Yang Heng took advantage of it again, that was, he bought a lot of folding fans made of good wood and satin at a low price. This was just for the embroiderer to embroider some landscape calligraphy and paintings.

, but it is another good collectible, but he will not do it recently. Please collect it first and then slap these plagiarists to death. If you come to play with a time traveler, if you don’t play you to death, you will still be called a time traveler. To be honest, Yang Heng does not oppose their improvement, but opposes their plagiarism. This plagiarism is the most inexplicable thing, and it will also lower the IQ of the entire nation. You say that you are fart behind others all day long and are complacent. I will soon surpass the other party and catch up with it. But when I am about to catch up, if someone stops doing it, you still copy it. As a result, it is not a one-step distance, but becomes two steps. You will not turn a corner. If you increase the speed, you will not catch up. It proves that you have worked hard and even have a new path.

This is the value of Yang Heng’s research on carved versions. I can imitate you, but it is not a simple imitation. Instead, it makes some improvements to make this technology popular. When it starts to go to a low point, either continue to improve or give up directly to create newer things.

However, for Yang Heng, this is still a plagiarism, but in the eyes of the world, he is not a plagiarism. Who knows that he is a time traveler? In their eyes, Yang Heng is a trendy guide. There may be many people or families who learn from him in this way. You should know that at this time the family is fully capable of spending money to make some new things, but it requires brain changes. Yang Heng couldn't help but be complacent about his decisions.

But Yang Heng was wrong. Some families are not learning from him, but are planning how to deal with Yang Heng. Because Yang Heng is hindering their path, especially the emergence of mimeographing technology, which gives some mud legs an opportunity to learn. How could they be happy? (To be continued...)
