074 printed book
In mid-August, Yan Zhongxiu Master Yan came back. The materials he wanted to write about in Lingnan were ready, and only the last bit of writing was left. Thanks to a small pencil, it was so convenient to record at any time. After coming back, I praised Li You again. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Li You deliberately brought another box of pencils, which were given to Master Yan. After arriving at Yan Zhongxiu's study, he saw him writing, but he didn't dare to bother. Just about to turn around and leave, Yan Zhongxiu had already raised his eyes to see Li You.
"You are planning to leave before you come in. If it's not a problem, you can come in."
After Li You came in, he gave a salute before saying: "The student is afraid of disturbing the master, and then he wants to leave. This is the student's little heart."
After speaking, Li You gave Yan Zhongxiu a small box of pencils. Master Yan would naturally not refuse this thing. He also asked Ah Jiu to put it away. Then he said: "Li You, now the old man is going to edit this book. Although there is only a little bit left, it will take some time. This will not teach you more experience."
"The Master doesn't have to worry about the students. During the time when the Master is away, I am reading a book by myself. I can understand what is said in the book. If there is something unclear, the students will ask the Master."
Yan Zhongxiu stroked his gray beard lightly and nodded: "You are such a worry-free student. The old man is very happy and ashamed. You worship old me as a teacher, but I have nothing to suffer, and fortunately you are gifted. Smart, otherwise, the old man will mistake his children!"
"Master, there is no way. Even if the students are clumsy and the days will be long, they can slowly be taught by the Master."
"Well, I'm arranging, huh, I'm arranging. For this book, the old man has spent a full five years. When the summer comes next year, if you are interested, you can come to Yizhou. When that happens, the old man will solve your doubts. "
"Master, why does your book take so much time?" Li You really didn't understand what Yan Zhongxiu meant. It is only August now, and when the summer begins next year, even if it is time to write another book. It's all there.
He knew that Master Yan only had a little more finishing touches left. According to Li You's idea, this can be done in half a month. I really can't figure out why Master Yan took so long.
"Why? It's so easy for you to publish a book? In addition to thinking about writing, you have to check whether there are any mistakes, and finally you can hand it over to someone to engrave the plate. This comes and goes, and it's not impossible for more than half a year."
At this time, Li You clasped his fist and said, "Master, I forgive the students for being rude. The students have read your manuscript. It should be no more than 30,000 words. If you really want to publish such a book, it shouldn't be more than two months!"
"Two months? Hugh is so nonsense. Writing a book is a major event. Don’t take it lightly. Even if the old man’s manuscript is nearly completed, this engraving will take more than three months. After that, it needs to be inspected. If there is an error, it needs to be corrected. This It’s another month or two, and it’s almost impossible to complete it in two months."
"Master, students have a way to complete the book in two months."
This really surprised Yan Zhongxiu. If someone else said this, he might not believe it, but when Li You said it, he still believed it. After all, he saw too much incredible in Li You.
"But what you said is true?" Yan Zhongxiu asked again in a serious face.
"Master, don't worry, you can just write a book, and you can print it within a month without accident."
Li You’s words really shocked Yan Zhongxiu. He just said it for two months, and he still feels a little more reliable, but now he is talking about January, which has to make him ask again: "Then you just said that two months and another Where did it come from?"
Li You is really hard to answer this. He was afraid to say it and would be scolded, but it seemed that it was not easy to fool it. He also bit the bullet and said: "The student said... Write a book and add ... it will take two months to print."
Yan Zhongxiu didn't scold him, it was considered pretty good, pointing at Li You, his hands were a little trembling, "How can you dare to say that, even if a thousand-character biography is a miscellaneous book, it is almost impossible to get a book in two months, if it is true like you With that said, it is really a blessing for the world."
After speaking, Yan Zhongxiu stared at Li You and saw that he did not seem to be nonsense, and then said: "If you can write a book within two months, if it is readable, the old man will preface it for you. "
Li You grinned and said: "The master is joking, how can the students write the book, but it is really feasible to print the book. The students retire first and don't disturb the master."
When he was discharged from the hospital, Li You also shook his head and asked him to publish the book. It is estimated that he could only plagiarize others. He was too lazy to spend this matter, so he should pay attention to the printing of the book. There are not many people who can carve here, less than ten people. It takes a lot of time for them to carve living wooden characters. The key is that at least thousands of different characters are written for carving, and each character is carved. The number should be large. This is not something that can be done easily.
Regarding the characters, he thought he was not good enough, so he could only find someone who writes well in regular script to write, and then let the craftsmen carve them out, and then he looked for Nangong Yi, Nangong Yi's characters, Li You thinks that they are incomparable Fortunately, there are thousands of characters in the text. If you write it directly, it will be a thousand different characters, plus hundreds of commonly used characters, it's almost the same.
Regarding Li You’s request, Nangong Yi also had the right to practice calligraphy, but did not refuse. It was nothing more than writing less than two thousand characters. When Nangong Yi was copying a thousand-character essay, Li You also did not write some thousand-character essays. The two people didn’t finish the matter until the evening.

The next day, Li You asked a craftsman to let them engrave the plate, and wrote a total of eight articles. This is for Li You to let the eight craftsmen complete it together, so that they can save some time. At this time, Li You let the woodworker make small rectangular squares. Because of the woodworking lathe, it is not difficult to achieve the same size. As long as the eight characters are carved out and printed, they can be used to separate them. Carved.
Since each edition is less than two hundred characters, the engraving is not slow, and it was completed only on the third day, because this is not a book engraving, and the requirements are not high, as long as the engraved characters can be printed out. A total of fifty sets of these characters have been printed, as long as the characters are cut and the front side is pasted on the finished wooden square to be individually carved out.
Today's workload is huge, but it doesn't take a month anyway, and Li You also added punctuation to break sentences so that they won't be misunderstood.
A few days later, Li You selected a set of thousand-character texts and started typesetting. After printing these movable type cards in the wooden square, they started printing. Due to the lack of characters, only a few editions were arranged, which was less than an hour. , Dozens of sets have been printed, and the experiment is considered very successful.
Yan Zhongxiu was really surprised by Li You's ability to imagine. This really saved time. As long as he sorted out the manuscript, he could print a copy immediately. Even if there is an error, it can be adjusted immediately. As long as the proofreading is completed, The book can be printed immediately. (End of this chapter)
