"It turns out that Brother Xu is here. Please come quickly."
The county magistrate, who was called Brother Dou, hurriedly got down from his seat, welcomed the richly dressed young man into the hall, and took the book proving Liang An's innocence from his hand.
Then when I opened it, my face was filled with anger again.
"Brother Xu, how can you read such a book?"
"This... is just a marriage party."
Brother Xu didn't blush and joked with him directly in front of Magistrate Dou.
"This is not a chance of marriage. I got the book and cleared this little brother's innocence."
As soon as the man whom Magistrate Dou called Brother Xu finished speaking, Magistrate Dou nodded.
"Yes, although the content of these two books is similar, the words are completely different. How dare you say that this is yours? What else can you say?"
Magistrate Dou looked straight at Liu Laosan, who hurriedly kowtowed.
"My Lord County Magistrate, have mercy on me. My Lord Magistrate, please have mercy on me. I was obsessed for a moment and wanted to write more books. Please forgive me, Lord Magistrate."
"snort!"
Magistrate Dou was no longer a nerd now. When the person in front of him kept begging for his life, he turned around and looked at Liang An again.
"Since this thing belongs to you, then you can leave and do whatever you have to do. As for Liu Laosan, I will punish him according to the law."
"Thank you, sir."
Liang An went to collect his parcel without even thinking about it, but Mr. Xu, who was dressed in brilliant clothes, took a step forward.
"Wait!"
Seeing a folding fan blocked in front of him, Liang An couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
"Thank you very much, young master, for rescuing me from the siege. I wonder if this young master has any other advice?"
"This man is too arrogant. Let's find a place."
But before Mr. Xu finished speaking, Magistrate Dou started talking immediately.
"You guys go to the back. The back is spacious. If you have anything to say, go to the back."
"OK."
Mr. Xu couldn't help but pulled Liang An to the back, then looked around to make sure no one was there before talking.
"What I want to say is..."
But before he finished speaking, Liang An started talking there.
"Sir, thank you very much for your help, but the book has been sold and I have spent my money. I have no money to return the book to you!"
Liang An scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, but Mr. Xu really looked at him.
"I'm not asking you to withdraw the book, but if you can sell me this template. I have some friends in other places and a few of them run book shops. Leave it to me and I'll run it properly. I don't know. Is this good?"
"no problem."
It turned out that he was buying his own templates. Liang An agreed without even thinking about it, and hurriedly unfolded the templates in his package. When he saw them, they were templates beyond his imagination. Mr. Xu looked at Liang An again and asked with a smile.
"You just said that you drew everything in this book?"
"yes!"
"Then can you draw me another one so I can take a look?"
Liang An said without thinking, "How about I beautify and beautify this book for the young master. It will look better than painting a new one, and it will also make him worthy of his value."
"Beautification? How to beautify?"
Mr. Xu looked at Liang An blankly, but Liang An directly pulled the pencil from his head, took Mr. Xu's book, and then scribbled on the paper.
This scene also made Mr. Xu stunned. He hurriedly approached and was instantly shocked.
"This...how is this possible? Can paintings be painted like this?"
Mr. Xu was stunned and began to sigh sincerely.
"Oh my God! It's like a real person."
"Then I will make the young master laugh."
Liang An finished a painting and handed it to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu looked at the picture and then at Liang An, and finally fixed his eyes on the pencil in his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Pencil, this is a gadget I made. If you like it, I will give it to you."
"Oh, you gave it to me so generously. I don't know who my brother's name is and where he lives. If I have a chance, I will go visit with my friends. Oh, by the way, I'm Xu Huan."
Mr. Xu couldn't help but read the book and say such words, which frightened Liang An.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they found that this woman looked like their own wife?
However, Mr. Xu was kind to him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"The younger one is from Liangjia Village in Wangyou Town."
"Oh, Wangyou Liang's house? It's a good place."
Liang An heard such words from Xu Huan for no reason, which made Liang An a little embarrassed.
Nice place? What's so good about it?
However, Liang An didn't pay much attention, and Xu Huan didn't negotiate too much on this topic. Instead, he talked about templates.
In the end, Liang An also taught him how to use the template. After all, it was a round template, and the printing was still a bit different from a flat wooden board.
But just after the template transaction was completed, the conversation started again.
"Writing a book, especially a book like this, is troublesome. You can write it wrong immediately when you get excited. It is really troublesome to find someone to write it again."
But when he heard this, Liang An started talking directly.
"Why not engrave this character into a stencil for printing?"
"We are engraving printing, but each piece is carved into a template. If there is even the slightest mistake, it will be greatly reduced and re-engraved. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the board will have problems after just a few uses. Not to mention you. Who can control this passionate book?"
As soon as Xu Huan finished speaking, Liang An said something without thinking.
"Then why don't you use movable type printing?"
"Movable type printing? What does this mean?"
Liang An didn't care that he said something beyond imagination, but instead introduced movable type printing.
You can use iron or other hard materials to carve small characters one after another, and use these small characters for printing every time you type.
Speaking of this, Xu Huan's eyes instantly lit up.
"Very good, you're very good. I've made a decision to be your friend. If I have something to do, I'll leave first. I'll definitely reward you generously when the matter is finally settled."
After Xu Huan said this, he ran out in a hurry, while Liang An just looked at him stupidly. When he came, he had a backpack that could be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver. Now, although he has not exchanged it for one hundred taels of silver, he has exchanged it for one hundred taels of silver. I spent fifty taels of silver on a half-day trip to the county government office.
But in the end, why is there an inexplicable friend who is hot-tempered and unreliable in bright and colorful clothes?
Although Liang An complained endlessly, he still put away his money and went out of the county government office honestly. However, as soon as he came from the back hall of the county government office to the front hall, he saw dozens of people being beaten with big boards and venting his anger on the ground. Liu complained that he had too much air and was imprisoned by Magistrate Dou.
When Liang An appeared, Magistrate Dou had just finished a case and looked at him. He started talking before Liang An could say thank you.
"I think you are dressed as a scholar. From now on, you must put your mind in the right place and study well. But you can't make books like this again. If you make books like this again for scholars, I won't let you go."
Where is this?
Liang An was very confused, why did the county magistrate in the county government not allow him to write books?
Although I really plan to stop making books after selling the templates, what's going on with you? Have I offended you?
But looking at Xu Huan's expression just now, he seemed to like this kind of book.
Although Liang An was puzzled, he could only clasp his fists after the county magistrate spoke.
"I will follow the instructions of the county grandpa and I will take the imperial examination as soon as possible to bring justice to the people of the world."
After Liang An said this, the county magistrate took a high look at him.
"If you are ambitious, if there is anything you don't understand about literature, feel free to ask me."
"Thank you, Mr. County Master."
After Liang An exerted his perseverance and raised his head, the county magistrate had already retreated, but his master came to Liang An's side.
He handed a somewhat damaged book to Liang An.
"This is the county magistrate's favorite book. It has the county magistrate's annotations. You should take it and study it carefully."
"Thank you so much, Mr. County Master."
Liang An was very happy to suddenly get an ancient book, and he hurriedly bowed to the place where the county magistrate left. Magistrate Dou, who was secretly watching Liang An in front of him in the back hall, couldn't help scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously.
"I have given you such good books. I wonder if you will reciprocate and give me a few of your treasured books?"
Although it was a bit unreliable for the Immortal Master to think this way, he still felt hot all over when he thought of the images in the book.
"No, let's go find this guy Xu Huan and see what his plot is?"
