Chapter 261 The printing speed is too exaggerated
You know, during the Yuan Dynasty, a man named Wang Zhen improved the wood movable type printing technique, invented the rotary typesetting, printed a book with [-] characters, and printed a hundred copies a month. This speed was stunned at that time. people.
This improvement in wooden movable type also made movable type printing the mainstream of printing.
And the movable type printing machine invented by Zhang Qingfeng, the speed of three seconds is simply amazing.
According to this speed, 1000 or two hundred sheets of paper can be printed in one hour, which is 120 million words based on a sheet of about [-] characters.
If you print ten hours a day, you can print 1000 to [-] million words.
Such a printing machine can print two months' worth of Wang Zhen's improved wooden type in ten hours.
In Zhang Qingfeng's printing workshop, there are ten printing machines. These machines work ten hours a day and can print 2000 million characters.
Based on the 100 million characters of Fengshen Romance, ten printing machines can print 120 Fengshen Romance in a day, and more than 600 Fengshen Romance can be printed in a month.
If it is replaced by the White Snake, more than 1 copies can be printed in a month. This speed is really terrifying. Even considering the damage of the machine and the time for maintenance, what is left after subtracting a few percent of the quantity is one. Very scary numbers.
"Master Tian, this workshop will be handed over to you in the future. I decided to start printing books in a few days, so I need to recruit some printing workers. I wonder if Master Tian can find some people?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Tian Wen Yuan said.
"Yang Xiaodong's family, if you don't mind, I can stay and help." Before Master Tian could speak, a middle-aged man said to Zhang Qingfeng.
This middle-aged man was one of the engraving masters Zhang Qingfeng hired.
"Okay, Master Liu is willing to stay and I welcome it before it's too late." Zhang Qingfeng also said hastily.
"Boss Yang, we are also willing to stay." Others also expressed their opinions.
Zhang Qingfeng paid a lot of money, and they all hoped to stay.
"Everyone is welcome to stay." Zhang Qingfeng also expressed his opinion.
These people are all skilled masters, and Zhang Qingfeng will definitely use them when he wants to sculpt pictures and illustrations, so these people are willing to stay, and Zhang Qingfeng welcomes them very much.
However, he still said to Tian Wenyuan: "Master Tian, even if there are these masters staying, there are still not enough manpower. I calculated that there are about 40 hard-working young people."
"Boss, there are a few boys in my family. I wonder if they can come to work here? They have all done printing." Tian Wenyuan said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"Yes, as long as you are diligent in your hands and feet." Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said.
"Dong Yang's family, my family has two sons, I don't know..."
"Yes, if you masters have any manpower, you can call them as long as they are diligent. However, you have to go to Master Tian to register. Only forty people are needed, not too many." Zhang Qingfeng agreed.
Forty people, mainly because there are ten printing presses, and four people for each printing machine are just right.
Of course, Zhang Qingfeng still needs to find some bookbinding workers. He plans to find these workers himself. He can't let the whole workshop be recruited by more than a dozen master masters. In this case, it is easy to form factions.
As for the dozen or so master craftsmen, Zhang Qingfeng will not waste their abilities on operating machines. When the time comes, he will draw some simple illustrations, and then let these master craftsmen carve them out with woodblocks, and then insert them into fonts for typesetting.
Even without engraving, they can also help with typesetting, which is the most important step before printing.
Under the recommendation of more than a dozen master craftsmen, the printing workshop recruited all the printing workers in just two days. Some of these people have done printing before, some have some basic carving skills, and some are pure beginners.
But it doesn't matter, after Zhang Qingfeng trained them for two days, they were almost able to operate the printing press easily.
The most difficult thing about a printing machine is to add ink to the typesetting. If the operation is not good, the ink on it will be uneven, so sometimes it needs constant adjustment.
In addition, if the pressure of the cylinder and typesetting is not enough, it is not easy to color, so workers also need to observe the printing effect, and then adjust the pressure of the cylinder and typesetting.
The easiest one is the person who shakes the flywheel, but this one is the most tiring. Fortunately, several people can rotate in this one, which is why Zhang Qingfeng hired four people for each machine.
A few days later, the printing workshop officially started printing. Zhang Qingfeng ordered the paper for printing directly from several paper workshops outside the city.
In order to cut these papers, Zhang Qingfeng also built a cutting machine and hired several people to cut the papers.
Zhang Qingfeng entrusted his family's pen and ink workshop to help produce the printing ink. After the printing workshop started, his family had to send him several barrels of ink every day to make sure it was enough.
After the printing workshop started, the first thing Zhang Qingfeng printed was Fengshen Romance.
Although this book has been transcribed by countless people, its price is still high. If you want to buy a set of Fengshen Yanyi, there is never a time when it is lower than Baiguan.
Zhang Qingfeng plans to print [-] sets directly, and earn a lot of money first.
At that time, he plans to set a price of 53 guan. After deducting the cost, he can earn about [-] guan for each book.
If all 25 copies are sold at this price, he can earn about [-] guan, which is enough for him to buy a big house in Lin'an City.
Of course, Zhang Qingfeng can also build a Goulan.
Zhang Qingfeng has always wanted to build a grand theater in the model of later generations, the kind that can accommodate almost 5000 people.
It's not that he doesn't want to build a bigger one, the main thing is that this is the limit.
No matter how big it is, even if the resonance, resonance, refraction and other designs of the sound are used again, the audience in the back row will not be able to hear the sound on the stage.
After the printing workshop officially started, Zhang Qingfeng hired more than a dozen bookbinding workers. They had to wait for the printing workers to print out all the contents of the first volume, and then arrange the printed paper by page and bind them into thread-bound books.
Just when the printing workshop was on the right track and was trying its best to print the novels of Fengshen Yanyi.
After more than a month of rehearsal, the rehearsal of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's play was finally completed.
After the rehearsal of the play was completed, Zhang Qingfeng immediately told the good news to Emperor Zhao Kuo.
After Zhao Kuo heard that Liang Zhu's rehearsal was completed, he immediately invited his drama troupe to perform in the palace.
Different from the last Dragon Boat Festival performance, Zhao Kuo mainly invited his relatives for this performance, such as the empress dowager, his concubine, and some clan members of the clan.
The performance was very successful, and the troupe was once again praised by Zhao Kuo.
At the end, Zhu Yingtai committed suicide by jumping into Liang Shanbo's grave. When the two finally turned into butterflies and flew together, coupled with Liang Zhu's beautiful and slightly sad erhu music, the women in the audience burst into tears. A slice.
