Chapter 123 [Block Printing]
Some old friends who have been ten or twenty years old will suddenly feel that they are very strange; some strangers who have clearly met one another are like old friends they have known three lives and three lives ago.
Bai Dong had this feeling about Qin Yue people. He was a contemporary Bian Que, who was not wearing silk or jade crown on top. Even the jade on his waist was dark in color, and he looked like the lowest grade among the lowest grades. Isn’t it profitable to be a miracle doctor? Or don’t he buy wine? This is a big drunkard, but he is a drunkard with excellent wine. Why do he look so pleasant and so friendly?
Wine tastes like character.
It was really three bowls to one bowl, until the wine was dry, without any hesitation; Bai Dong carefully observed Lao Qin, and he did not take any anti-drinking medicine, which was really capable! He really couldn't stand it. Although his body was well conditioned after being rich, he really didn't have the talent to drink. After eating three bowls, everyone was floating, so he could only help him get straight to the public. There was always a lot of things to say between professionals and professionals. I could drink a lot of wine. How many bowls should I help my buddy block?
Unexpectedly, Gongshuzhi was also a god of wine, and he was even more famous with the Qin Yue people. Two professionals killed five jars of fine wine in a blink of an eye. Qin Yue people suddenly stood up and sang around the bonfire, "The people's disease is not my worries, the people's depression, the people's national sorrow, the people's happiness...' They sang the tune of the Book of Songs, but there is no such description in the Book of Songs. It should have been compiled by Lao Qin himself. His literary talent is average, but the context is very deep, which makes people unconsciously infected.
"Brother Bai family, is this old guy crazy? I have memorized the Book of Songs, but there are no such sentences? I can't understand what he is singing. I am worried about the national sorrow. I have drunk so much wine from your brother. Do you want to wipe your mouth and leave? I know he has no real ability. Otherwise, I would have to send that beautiful woman to my brother for treatment?"
"Are you going to peek at the peerless face of the flea girl? Otherwise, how could you know she was a great beauty? Alas, she was a wise and hard-working study after all. Lao Qin used poetry to show his ambitions and wrote something himself. How can there be records in the Book of Songs? Forget it, don't ask, no matter how many explanations you explain, you won't understand."
Bai Dong sighed secretly. Young Master and Young Officials still find it difficult to learn literature. A stupid and straightforward person can be knowledgeable and memorable, but unfortunately he doesn't think deeply. In the later generations, he will eventually become a nerd.
"What the five doctors said is that Mr. Lu has a true temperament, first-class wine, first-class poetry, and first-class character. Why do you think he can drink so much? Because life is hard and he can't drink alcohol on a daily basis. He is actually not without money, but unfortunately he has all been dispersed to the poor. It is said that some poor patients come to him for medical treatment, not only do they not have the medical expenses, but they even pay for medicine. It would be strange if they are not poor!"
"Mr. Lu often said that I was a prodigal. It turns out that Mr. Lu is more prodigal than me?" The young master Shaoguan unconsciously straightened his chest, feeling that he had always been a little pitiful person who was wrongly accused and misunderstood.
"Haha, if this is considered a loser, then everyone will lose. Mr. Gongshu, Lao Qin's defeat is so touching, we can't fall behind, right? Come here, have a pattern for you to show you, and you need to make it out as soon as possible; most of your craftsmen are reading, right? That's good, come on..."
Without ready-made patterns on his body, he directly drew it on the ground. Gongshu looked at Bai Dong with his eyes wide open and looked at him in disbelief: "Cornated plate! Use it with silk paper? Do the five doctors know how much vibration this thing will cause once it is made? Master Meng, who is far away in Qi, will definitely toss and turn and will come to see you from Qi. The great Confucians in the world will all write biography for you! The world's school, regardless of military, magic, and religion, even Taoism that is transcendent, must remember your name from now on, and the nobles in the world..."
"My name and the name of your husband loser will be remembered. Don't worry about the nobles in the world. Once the papermaking technique is released, the woodblock printing is an arrow on the string. I don't think it's okay to shoot it out. Do you think the 'factory building' I built near Zhuangzi is just used to make ink ingots?"
Bai Dong smiled slightly: "The world's woodworkers, I think only Gongshu can take this important task. I don't like to look for Mohist families. They are too dangerous. Mr. Gongshu, think about it. Once woodblock printing appears, your Gongshu will be remembered forever. Even if you have five thousand years or ten thousand years, people will never forget the name of Gongshu!"
"Five doctors, I am thankful for my husband and wife. The head of the family will definitely come to Baijiazhuang to visit him in person. In the future, the husband and wife and the Bai family will be eternal friends!"
Gongshuzhi is also an old world, but he is really excited and admired at this moment. He knew that when the Mo family issued a non-aggression order to show goodwill to the Bai family, he knew that when it comes to the skill of the Gongshu family, the Mo family is no less than the Gongshu family; when it comes to the strong power, the Gongshu family cannot be compared with the Mo family. However, the Bai Wu Dafu refused the Mo family and gave such an opportunity to make a name for himself in the world.
What is carving and printing? The drunk cat of Gongzi Shaoguan couldn't understand, but Gongshu Zhi saw the benefits and interests at a glance. This is a great technology that can affect the world and change society! If Bai Dong had selfish intentions, he could become a wealthy person in the world with this item alone! But he didn't take it seriously and gave it to Gongshu. What kind of work is this? What a big mind?
Gongshuo originally had the idea of taking advantage of the situation and competing with the Mo family. This upstart in Qin, Qingxi Gaodi, is undoubtedly the best choice; now Gongshuo is moved by Bai Dong's selflessness. No wonder this young five doctors were able to convince Nie Zhu's heart. He is indeed a big man with broad mind and unlimited prospects. He now just wants to repay the head of the family as soon as possible. Gongshuo and Baijiazhuang should not be mutually utilizing each other, but relatives and friends who share weal and woe!
"I haven't finished speaking yet, the woodblock printing can be given to the losers, but I still have two conditions."
"Haha, let alone two conditions, so what if there are two hundred? Gongshuzhi can still make some decisions, please tell me the five doctors."
"First, I will soon promote an Invention Patent Law in Lao Qin. At that time, I hope that the public losers will be the first to apply for an invention patent for woodblock printing. How about it?"
"Ask the five doctors what is an invention patent."
"The so-called invention is based on the principle of heaven and earth, and the imagination of man constitutes new assumptions and new things, and the assumptions are proven to be beneficial to the country and the people, which is called invention. This is different from discovery. Discovery is the principle of the existence of heaven and earth. It is just that human beings are ignorant and cannot be born to know it. It needs to be discovered gradually. Because there is no human power to improve it, the invention can enjoy patents, but discovery cannot be discovered. Patents are to possess the benefits of invention within a certain time limit. If others want to use your invention, they need to pay money or items of equivalent value to money. Labor... Mr. Gongshu may understand?"
Gongshu's mouth widened as he opened his mouth. He looked at Qin Yueren who was singing dance around the bonfire, and then at the young master who was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. He wanted to say that I didn't understand. I guess not many people here could understand... What is the head of this five doctors? Why do they have many strange thoughts? Mr. Guiguzi is so expert!
"For example, my 'strong flour method' is essentially a discovery, but ordinary people did not first discover that flour has this characteristic, but I discovered it; and the locks and ladders designed by the Gongshuoist are inventions, because guarding the portal and climbing the city for a long ladder, this is not the original characteristic of copper, iron and wood..."
Bai Dong gave an example for Ying Lian that day, saying that his "facial method" was an invention, but it was just for his convenience to accept the "Invention Patent Law". Facial method is essentially a kind of discovery. Discovery cannot apply for a patent because it is a law that existed in heaven and earth. Just as Newton discovered gravity, he could not say it was an invention and then applied for a patent; and designing some advanced instrument based on gravity is an invention.
"I understand. The five doctors need legislation, so the public losers naturally need to respond; but the public losers seem to have too much advantage, so I'm afraid..."
Gongshuzhi is considered half an intellectual, so he naturally understood what Bai Dong meant at this time, but he was a little embarrassed. This advantage could be taken too much, and I felt sorry for Bai Dong.
"Of course, you can't let your family take advantage in vain. I'm going to print a batch of "Junior School Jungle" for the first time, and your family will pay and work hard. In the future, it will be given to the civil servants who can't afford Jianshu for free. Even if we learn from Mr. Lu, we will defeat you. Anyway, our family has a great career and are not afraid of defeat. Mr. Gongshu won't object, right?"
"Of course not! I believe the head of the family will agree happily. The five doctors are making a name for the loser of our family, not to mention that the patent application will bring countless benefits. This may not be a loser, but may be a family development!"
Gongshu Zhi is indeed not a fool. (To be continued...)
