Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

The first three consecutive lectures of "Journey to the West" lasted for more than ten days, and the limelight was the same for a while.

At the end of the ten-day period, Tong Ran gave the manuscripts of the fourth and fifth chapters to shopkeeper Li. When he arrived at his office, he had just reconciled the accounts with the accountant, and he couldn't see his eyes with a smile.

There are two elephant sheds and three peony sheds a day, which can accommodate more than 150 people in total. The average ticket for the elephant shed is 120 renminbi. The storyteller in the peony shed is less famous, and a ticket is 48 renminbi. I can earn more than [-] Wen, which is more than three times more than before.

"Come here, this is yours." Shopkeeper Li took out a rag bag and gave it to Tong Ran.

Tong Ran swayed, feeling quite heavy.When I opened it, I saw six big silver ingots squeezed inside, and there was also a string of copper coins, about one or two hundred wen.These silver ingots are all engraved with official seals, one is ten taels, here is a full 60 taels.

"I was supposed to give you copper coins, but it was too inconvenient, so I asked people to exchange them for silver." Shopkeeper Li said.

Tong Ran has come here these days, and already has some ideas about money.

The current currency here is the Dacheng Tongbao minted by the imperial court, which is commonly known as copper coins. It was fine when the country was founded, but now that the economy is booming and prices are rising, it costs just one or two hundred cash, making it even more inconvenient to use.

So gold and silver began to circulate in the market slowly, but the exchange rate between them and copper coins is not fixed. According to the current situation, one tael of silver is about 1000 two hundred copper coins, and what Li shopkeeper gave him was ten taels. For silver ingots, there are a total of more than 60 taels and 100 coins here, which is roughly equivalent to what he deserves.

An ordinary hard-working adult in Zhuoyang Mansion can earn about 30 taels a year, and a small family of four or five people can spend 60 taels a year to live very comfortably.

In the past few days, he has already earned other people's money for a year, and he really feels like he has become rich.

Tong Ran handed over the manuscripts for the next two episodes to shopkeeper Li, and then returned to her room.

In the evening, the little tiger finally woke up. These days it has to take a nap every day, and the time is very domineering. It takes three and a half hours from Sizheng to Shenshi, and it can still sleep at night.

I don't know if other tigers do the same.

Tong Ran made tea for the little tiger, and took out the roast meat he bought today. The little tiger stood on the table and ate little by little with his hands.

"It's getting more and more squeamish." Tong Ran complained, and he didn't know when the little tiger refused to eat by himself, so he had to feed him, "And you slept too much a day, sleeping for seven hours during the day, You still need to sleep for seven hours at night, a full fourteen hours, can you tigers sleep like this?"

"Wow!" The little tiger howled, not sure if he was answering his question.

Chu Jun didn't want to either, he was running on both ends of the imperial palace and the palace. He had to deal with government affairs and be his little tiger at the same time.

Fortunately, this Qilin has a spirit. Although he is awake after sleeping, he can still get enough rest, so the little tiger and himself are quite healthy.

As for Tong Ran saying that he was snoozing?

It doesn't exist, but he travels back and forth every day for the future of the country.

After the little tiger was full and Tong Ran was full, he picked up the things piled on the long desk.

Chu Jun saw that he had been doing it for several days, and he didn't even come out of the door, but seeing now, Chu Jun didn't understand what it was.

After Xiang Da came over and handed Tong Ran a big bag of things that day, he has been tinkering with it.

The main thing is to carve some characters on the cuboid clay blocks. Each piece of clay is not big. The characters he carved are all protruding, and they are hardened with fire after engraving.It looks like a seal, but what he engraves are some commonly used characters, not names.

Tong Ran said before that this is called movable type, but he didn't explain it, and Chu Jun couldn't ask, so he never understood it.

Tong Ran has engraved more than 100 characters, which happens to be the beginning of "Journey to the West". The font of the clay type is large, and if they are all arranged, they can already print a page.But he hasn't printed it yet, perhaps because of this, his righteousness has been rising and falling, suddenly rushed to the ninth level yesterday, and fell back today. His righteousness, and he didn't understand what he was doing, so he couldn't give a proper score.

Chu Jun also felt this.

Generally speaking, only when the road of invention and creation is put into practice can righteousness grow.It's like Tong Ran was making a pen before, until he wrote three words with a quill pen, his righteousness suddenly soared. Now it seems that the little attendant has not really shown the usefulness of this invention, so the righteousness will rise stumbled.

But on the other hand, an invention that can make righteousness rise and fall, and move the world, is really rare in a hundred years. Even Chu Jun couldn't help looking forward to it. When it works, what kind of changes will it bring to his little attendants.

Just as it was thinking, its green eyes swept across Tong Ran's body. When Tong Ran saw it, he immediately hugged it.

Tong Ran: "Zai Zai, who do you think I should show this to?"

After the "Journey to the West", Tong Ran generally knew that the growth of righteousness was not only related to what he did and the way he took, but also related to its influence.

This world is still dominated by copying books, and woodblock printing is also rare. Once this movable type printing technique is used on a large scale, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to this world, but how can we truly trigger these changes?

He had to find a reliable investor first.

Some of the gentlemen who brought him tea couldn't hold back anymore, and asked him to meet through the housekeeper.After a few days, Tong Ran already understood their purpose, but they kept procrastinating.

These bigwigs in Zhuoyang Mansion are quite rich, but in terms of influence, Fan Heng is even better.

The next day, Tong Ran picked two cans of the best tea from the tea leaves given to him by the big bosses, and brought with him the fruits of the past few days, planning to go out.Before he left, the little tiger who hadn't woken up suddenly yelled and jumped into his arms.

The food has been good recently, the little tiger has become a little heavier, and Tong Ran has gained a lot of weight, not as thin as when he first wore it.

Tong Ran hugged it, pushed the door open and said, "Do you know that I'm going out today? Why do you usually wake up early in the morning and sleep now, but today it's upside down?"

"Wow!" the little tiger called out.

Tong Ran didn't expect a tiger to answer him anything, he just thought that the little thing had grown up and stopped snoozing.

Of course, Chu Jun would not be aimless. He knew that Tong Ran was going out in the morning, so he deliberately stayed in the palace early in the morning, dealt with the memorial for a long time before falling asleep, and passed it into the little tiger's body, just in time for Tong Ran to go out.

Today is the day when Tong Ran went to show Fan Zichang his new invention. He was the one (hu) who watched the birth of this invention, how could he not be there!

Fan Zichang recently went through Zhuoyang Mansion, even the counties under it, and the townships under the county.

I have seen countless good pens, but none in particular.

Now he really wants to go back to the capital, find out his emperor's master and ask, what is the so-called special pen? ! !

"Sir, calm down, calm down." Cang Ping didn't know why Fan Zichang, who had always been irritable, suddenly became so irritable. He picked up his crutches, wiped them clean, and handed them back respectfully.

Fan Zichangzhu is good at crutches. His leg was injured in the early years. The imperial physician in the palace tried his best to cure him, but he also suffered from a lame problem. He needed a crutch to go anywhere.

He has gotten used to it for so many years, and even his temper has been worn down. The past few days have been exhausting, but there is no result at all, but it has aroused his old temper.

At this time, someone knocked on the door and reported: "Mr. Fan, a guest named Tong Ran wants to see you."

What came in together with the voice was a famous post.

Cang Ping personally took it from the door and handed it to him.

It was his own famous post, that's right, Fan Zichang glanced at it, and immediately ordered them to invite Tong Ran to sit in the warm pavilion at the back, and then he changed his clothes and went.

Yanwu Pavilion is a place to have fun at night, it is very quiet inside at the moment, but many girls have already woken up.

They all knew that Da Dong's family was here recently, but no one had seen his true face on Mount Lu. At this moment, Tong Ran was brought in by Da Dong's confidantes, which attracted the girls to run out and peek behind the railing on the second floor.

I saw that although the young man was dressed in simple clothes, his gestures were not cramped at all, as if he could handle places like Yanwu Pavilion with ease.Looking from a distance, I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I could only vaguely tell that he was handsome.

He actually held a little tiger in his arms. The little tiger was not big, only slightly bigger than an adult cat. Its round head was turning in the boy's arms, as if looking at them.

Fan Zichang was overwhelmed by that sum of money these days, and he was very happy to see Tong Ran at this time, so he served good tea and many pastries.

As soon as Tong Ran entered the door, he felt the change of the boy.

Not to mention that his appearance is much better than before, he is full of righteousness, as if he is about to break through.

Fan Zichang sent his righteousness to investigate, and said in surprise: "What are you doing these days? The righteousness in your body is actually ups and downs, like the tides." This is the only situation he has ever seen in his life. Most people's righteousness rises and falls. But Tong Ran went up and down, looking very unstable.

Tong Ran was already used to this, so he casually smiled and said, "Recently I have made something, maybe the world doesn't know how to judge it, why don't Brother Fan come and show me, see if this thing is good or not."

What can provoke the world to be like this?

Fan Zichang was even more surprised. He hurriedly told everyone else in the room to back out, and closed the door himself solemnly.

Turning around and returning to the table, Tong Ran had already opened his small cloth bag and placed many small seal-like things on the table.That thing seems to be made of clay, and it has been hardened by fire. Fan Zichang picked up a toy with a word "天" engraved on it.

He fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He raised his head and asked Tong Ran, but the other party was still feeding his little tiger tea leisurely. Fan Zichang was so anxious that he snatched his teacup and said, "Brother Tong, please do me a favor. Quickly tell me what this is, this thing that God doesn't understand, do you expect me to understand it myself?"
