The eleventh update, for the lonely falling star ten thousand rewards plus more, there will be updates later, everyone remember to subscribe to support Zhang Chao was lying on the rocking chair enjoying the rare sunshine in the afternoon, and it didn't rain for several days, and the weather was quite warm.
This beautiful sunshine was suddenly blocked, Zhang Chao opened his eyes, Du Siniang looked at her with a pitiful look, like a well-behaved little milk cat, which made people feel pitiful, and people couldn't help but want to hold it in their arms and stroke it well.
"San Lang." can't do it against his wife, Zhang Chao restrained his impulse.
"You don't set rules around Thirteen Niang," Zhang Chao said.
Establishing rules is also a kind of family rule, the elders live, and the younger generations stand by the side.
Later, it gradually became a means for the main room to control the concubines, so that the concubines followed them every day to set rules.
In fact, it is equivalent to a punishment stand, she sits, the concubine has to stand, and she has to serve tea and water, which is equivalent to calling a girl.
Cui Yingying accepted Du Shi Niang, but only gave Du Shi Niang the title of a girl in the room.
And this room is not the master, you have to set rules in front of her, to put it bluntly, let her be a maid.
This is a dismount, as soon as she comes, she will show Du Shi Niang's color, it is estimated that it is for the sake of better control in the future, after all, she came out of the Qinglou.
Although Du Siniang was born in a Qinglou, she is also a popular Qingqi person, and she is also very well served in the building.
Even when they came to Zhang's house, they all brought two maid rings.
As a result, he has now become Zhang Chao's house, and he can only sleep in Zhang Chao and Cui Yingying's house, and he has to serve tea and water, and he has to follow the rules every day, and when he stands for a while, his legs are extremely sore.
Du Siniang felt very aggrieved, and even doubted whether her decision was correct.
In this family, she can only count on Zhang Chao, if Zhang Chao takes care of it, it would be best if he could avoid the rules.
Zhang Chao pretended not to understand, it was Thirteen Niang's dismount and killing stick, and he couldn't spoil Thirteen Niang's business.
After all, he taught the affairs of the inner house to the Thirteen Niang, if he did not maintain the authority of the Thirteen Niang, how could there be peace in the future in the inner house.
"Since you have entered Zhang's house, you have to respect Thirteen Niang in the future, and you should set rules.
Go, serve her well, and don't disobey the thirteen mothers. ” Seeing Du Siniang turn around and go to the flower hall with a resentful face, Zhang Chao sighed, there was a strong sour smell in this courtyard, and he couldn't stay here. got up and was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Chao went to the vegetable field, and the fertilized vegetable field became significantly greener, which is a good phenomenon.
Continue on to the carpenter's hut.
Ke Baye and Carpenter Zheng were carefully carving in the house, and there were a bunch of boards scattered on the ground.
Zhang Chao picked up a piece.
"Don't look at it, scrap board."
Ke Baye sighed.
Zhang Chao was taken aback, so many waste boards.
"Eighth uncle, are you in any trouble?"
"This carved plate is a little more difficult than we imagined, and if we accidentally break a word, the whole page will be scrapped."
This is not like Keba's previous carpentry carving, even if he occasionally made a mistake, he still repaired and modified it or even made some glue to fill it.
But this engraving is not good at all, a little wrong, and the whole page is scrapped.
Because of this, the two of them also stopped working, and found Lao Niu, a veterinarian and blacksmith, to order two sets of carving tools, and it was too inconvenient to use only a chisel.
Ordinary carving is still in shape, but carving is not.
They had realized that the carved plates had to be made with very delicate tools, and in the end, they found Lao Niu to build a fist knife.
The fist knife is named because of its grip, and the blade is curved and resembles a bird's beak, so it is also called a finch knife.
In addition, several tool knives were made, which improved the efficiency of engraving a lot and reduced the bad plates.
"I've carved a few boards," Zhang Chao asked.
"Two pieces."
The eighth uncle's answer made Zhang Chao stunned for a while, it has been several days, and only two plates of Zhang Chao's version have been carved, each engraving is a standard nine lines and eighteen characters, and a page is at most one hundred and sixty-two words.
The carved three-character scripture and Zhang's family rules are ready to be printed and bound together at that time, and Zhang's family rules are prefaced.
The three-character scripture is about 1,000 words, and the Zhang family rules are only about 500 words, and Zhang Chao added punctuation marks, but it is only in his early 2,000s.
With the addition of editing and typesetting, sixteen editions were finalized.
Zhang Chao thought that two masters, carving sixteen boards, one person with eight books, should not be a problem.
But now, only two boards have been carved.
"It took a lot of crooked paths at first, but now we've got the hang of it, and we're getting fast.
I can carve at least one piece a day," Ke Baye said happily.
Hearing that he could reach such a speed in a day, Zhang Chao still shook his head a little.

Fortunately, there are only a thousand words in these three-character scriptures, if you want to print those tomes in the future, for example, when you write it out, The other historical books are also tomes, with more than 500,000 characters in the Historical Records, more than 700,000 characters in the Han Books, nearly 900,000 characters in the Later Han Books, and more than 300,000 characters in the Three Kingdoms Chronicles.
A version is only a hundred words, a million words can not be carved 10,000 plates, a person carves one a day, just carved the board, it takes 10,000 labor.
This speed is a big problem.
It can be engraved and printed, and the book layout cannot be made very large, let alone the font can be made small.
That can only increase the speed of engraving and the number of craftsmen engraving, which will inevitably lead to an increase in costs.
Increasing the layout and increasing the number of words will increase the difficulty of engraving, and the rate of waste will also increase.
It seems that at present, only a few thousand words of books such as the Three Character Sutra can be printed, and books with 10,000 words are very difficult.
"Eighth uncle, how about I recruit some apprentices for you, so that they can follow you to learn carving and engraving."
Ke Baye and Carpenter Zheng didn't agree immediately.
The two apprentices have received a lot, but the apprentices are still very strict, and they have to choose the kind of loyal and diligent ones, and the apprentices will not be brought with them, but with them one by one.
Now they have long stopped taking apprentices, and the original apprentices have begun to bring apprentices.
"You see if this will work, I plan to build a printing workshop and engage in engraving printing.
In the future, the two of them will be responsible for the engraving of the workshop, and I will reward them with two stone grains per month, and I will give you an apprenticeship allowance of two hundred dollars for each apprentice you bring.
If the apprentice you bring with him can carve engraving independently, then I will give you another 300 yuan for the teacher's fee. ” Zhang Chao estimated that the speed of the two masters carving plates will definitely increase in the future, and there are special new tools, and after adapting to this kind of carving, the waste plate rate will be reduced, and the speed will also be improved.
But the two of them alone are not enough.
And it is not very cost-effective to recruit carpenters to make plates.
After all, Zhang Chao only needs them to engraving, Zhang Chao thinks that it is better to recruit more teenagers to do lettering apprentices, there are old craftsmen to teach by hand, and they have trained such a group of engraving workers, which is the most reliable and effective.
Carpenters also recruit some, but only a few, and then recruit some apprentices, so that they can learn from carpenters to select materials and process planks.
Divide the engraving into two parts, the plate, and the engraving.
Zhang Chao's treatment is still good, with a monthly salary of two stone grains, which is equivalent to nearly seven liters of grain a day.
What's more, if you bring an apprentice, as long as you bring out the teacher, it is equivalent to 500 yuan, and now the corn is only 500 yuan for one stone, which is equivalent to bringing out one stone of grain, even if you can't get out of the teacher, you can bring four buckets of rice.
Although Ke Baye is not young, he can't help but be tempted by this condition.
Zheng Carpenter is even more so, he is a dowry slave brought by Cui Yingying, and he can still get so much money.
"Okay."
Keba agreed.
Carpenter Zheng also agreed, but he made a request, that is, he hoped that Zhang Chao would be able to redeem his grandson in the future.
"Don't worry, even if you don't redeem yourself, the Zhang family will also release a few of the best performers every year.
If the subordinate himself has money and is willing to redeem himself, of course we will not be embarrassed. ” After discussing it for a while, both of them agreed that there was no need to recruit another carpenter, and that the two of them could teach both lettering and boarding, which was actually quite simple anyway.
If they only learned the same thing, rather than the whole carpenter's trade, they thought that a month would be enough to teach the young apprentices.
Zhang Chao knew that the two wanted to earn more teaching fees, and he did not object.
He only wants the effect, as long as the effect is there, he doesn't care about the process.
Holding the two plates carved by the two, Zhang Chao looked at them carefully several times and found that the craftsmanship was not bad, and there were no typos.
The engraving is yang, but the characters are reversed, so that after being printed on paper, it becomes positive.
Zhang Chao put down the engraving and listened to them introduce the new method they had worked out.
According to Saburo's original method, first upload the plate, brush a layer of thin paste on the wooden board, and then paste the manuscript horizontally and vertically on the board.
Then there is the engraving, but before we engrave the plate, we first dip our fingers in some water, and gently rub it after the sample, so that the back of the paper can be rubbed a little thinner, so that the handwriting on the manuscript can be clearer, as if it is written directly on the wooden board, and it is much easier to engrave. ” said that Ke Bagong personally demonstrated it to Zhang Chao, and sure enough, he rubbed the back of the paper with water, rubbed off a lot of fibers, the paper was thinner and more transparent, and the handwriting was clearer.
This is much simpler and more convenient than Zhang Chao's previous bothering to find thin and transparent paper, and sure enough, sometimes the soil method is more practical.
Ke Bagong picked up the plate and began to engrave, he used the fist knife as the main tool, the basic technique is to hold the fist knife in his right hand, the handle of the knife is inclined to the outside about forty degrees, downward and inward.
The left hand holds the cutter head with the first joint of the thumb to control the speed and direction of the knife movement, and also to prevent the knife from slipping.
The first knife is about two or three millimeters along the outer circumference of the ink line to be engraved, and then pulls a notch about two or three millimeters deep on the board with force downward and from the outside in.
"It's a hair knife."
Ke Baye explained while carving.
As he spoke, he turned the plank 180 degrees, and then pulled out a notch with the blade of the knife at an inclination angle of about 40 degrees below the ink line, and the bottom of the cut intersected, forming a V-shaped shape on the cross-section This old carpenter for many years has his own set of lettering techniques, but the words engraved in the past did not have such accurate needs, and now after summarizing, he has been able to skillfully use the techniques to meet the requirements of carving.
After the words are carved out, they also have to be hollowed, that is, the blank parts of the layout that have no ink lines are chiseled off, and they use the transformed chisel and curved chisel for this part.
After the short, you have to pull the line.

It is to carve out the straight lines of the branches and the edges around the layout.
Once these steps are complete, the final revision is required.
"San Lang, if it's just one or two wrong words, we can actually remedy it, chisel off the wrong words, and then make up a piece of wood, glue it flat, and then engrave that word on it."
Zhang Chao observed the entire engraving process and found that what he had taught them before was too simple, and the new methods that others had summed up by themselves were much more practical than his.
"Very good, just follow your method, and I'll recruit two hundred apprentices for you when I go back."
When Ke Baye and Carpenter Zheng heard that they were recruiting two hundred apprentices, they were stunned on the spot.
Two hundred apprentices, isn't this the printed three-character scripture, so many apprentices are needed But they immediately thought that if there are 200 apprentices, one of them will pay 500 yuan, even if one person brings 100 of them, they can get 50,000 yuan when they all leave the school.
Fifty thousand dollars, they were shocked again.
Zhang Chao just smiled, just a hundred dollars, if he really brought out a mature engraving team of two hundred people, one hundred dollars, drizzle. t1706231537:
