Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 44 Typography

Half an hour later, a large group of people suddenly poured into the foot of the mountain stream.

Lu Liang ran at the forefront. He has strong muscles and bones, and his feet are strong, so he took the lead.

Several of his disciples were holding fly whisks, swords, and Taoist crowns crooked, their clothes crooked as they ran, panting heavily.

The hundreds of pious congregants behind were not willing to go home, but wanted to continue listening to Daozi's teachings.

Wang Sanmeng was among the crowd, feeling uneasy.

If he had known that Daozi would really come to the world today, he would have carried his mother on his back and waited in Bianliang to ask Daozi for treatment.

Who let him hear the news of Daozi's birth before today, but still dare not believe it, so he missed the opportunity.

Wang Sanmeng subconsciously ignored that today even he, a coolie, was not able to get to the front. Even if he brought his mother, he might not be able to meet Daozi face to face.

He only blamed everything on his lack of sincerity, and missed a great opportunity for nothing!
In addition, a large number of people who had wishes in their hearts also disobeyed the order and temporarily dispersed, still following at the foot of Laixi Mountain, hoping to see Daozi again and seek one or two fateful dharmas.

……

Outside the Temple of Longevity, Lu Liang turned into a flying arrow and rushed into the Taoist temple with a whoosh, frightening the lame old man guarding the door, dumbfounded and parched.

"Lu Lu, Daoist Lu! Daozi is waiting for you in the back hall, don't go to the main hall!"

Seeing who was coming, the old man hurriedly put his hands together and shouted, fearing that Daoist Lu would not listen to his orders.

"Good old Liu! I'll go and help stop the believers outside!"

Old Liu tightened his grip on the broom, feeling a sense of responsibility spontaneously.

Now that the Taoist and the head teacher have said so, as long as I, Liu San, are still alive today, I will definitely not let anyone in!

"Stop, stop!! What are you doing! Do you know where this is? We don't accept outside visitors in the temple today, so hurry up and stop!"

Old Liu held a broom with a notch in his hand like a divine soldier descending from the sky, with his brows raised coldly, he scolded the noble-dressed believers mercilessly.

"This... I want to go to see Daozi, the old man is kind, I am a devout follower of Shangxian!!"

"Back off! Whoever comes is not allowed! If you want to force your way in, just ask me if the spear in my hand is sharp!"

No one dared to hurt every plant and tree in the Taoist temple, let alone human beings, they could only wait outside the gate of the Taoist temple with a bitter face, scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously.

"His Royal Highness Daozi!"

As Lu Liang approached the apse, his sprinting steps stopped suddenly, and he thought that he should not be in such a hurry to annoy Daozi for no reason.

He straightened his appearance, smoothed the wrinkles on the Taoist robe, dusted off the dust, and straightened the Taoist crown. Then he respectfully opened the two newly repaired wooden doors, and he saw a handsome young man sitting cross-legged on the futon, closing his eyes. Eyes repose.

Lvliang Jishou saluted and called softly.

Only then did Zhang Yuqing open his eyes, glanced at him indifferently, and snorted in his nose: "Well, here we come."

"Xiao Dao doesn't dare, I don't know if you send a villain, what orders do you have?"

Lu Liang didn't care about the age difference between the two, and kept his posture extremely low, almost treating himself as a grandson of Daozi with respect, ignoring the strange eyes of the two maids beside Daozi looking at him.

"Although you are ignorant, you occasionally have the gift of dexterity. You know that I intend to meet you in private. That's right."

After getting a compliment from Daozi, Lu Liang's old face turned into a flower, and he said happily: "I dare not, it is all thanks to the brilliance of Shangxian and Daozi, so that Xiaodao also got a ray of inspiration, which can be used by Daozi."

"Okay, you and I are both descendants of the Shangxian Dao. Some things can be more straightforward with you, and you don't have to be aggressive like you are outside."

Zhang Yuqing stopped Lu Liang's flattery, and said: "Xishan Longevity Temple, I want to set it as the main altar. As the current Taoist master, I will also personally take the post of the main altar viewer."

"As the only 'Taoist' level believer in the sect, you can choose another place to be the temple master. Do you have a place you want to go?"

Hearing what Daozi said, Lu Liang felt apprehensive, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said piously: "Xiao Dao doesn't want to transfer him to be the master of the temple, he just wants to follow Daozi's side, even if he cleans the Taoist temple like old Liutou, he will be happy!"

Zhang Yuqing pretended to be amiable, supported Lu Daochang with both hands, and said with relief: "You have a pious mind, I know it. However, the major thing in the teaching today is to actively expand and expand the scale. As my jade mouth golden words canonized Guanzhu, if I don’t take office immediately, the people outside may think that my words can’t be counted!”

"In the future, if I am successful in doing things and teaching believers well, I will transfer you back to my seat. There is no need to panic."

Hearing this, Lu Liang had no choice but to give up his plan to stay under Daozi's command, and said in a low voice: "Then, then, the subordinate can choose a place in a nearby prefecture to be the master of the temple, closer to Daozi..."

Zhang Yuqing was noncommittal, using magic power to conjure up a map of the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty. This was what he saw in a side hall when he entered and left the palace, and he kept it in his heart.

Luliang chose Huazhou, which is a relatively close point.

"So it's settled." Zhang Yuqing waved his robe and scattered the map, ignoring Lu Liang's fiery gaze, turned his head and ordered: "Give the blueprint to Guanzhu Lu."

Dongmei lowered her head slightly when she heard this, and took out a blueprint that Zhang Yuqing had given her in advance and handed it to Lu Liang a few steps forward.

"This... Daozi, what is this?"

"This is a hydraulic printing machine. I once said that if you want to teach the way of entering the Tao to the people of the world, you must be inseparable from this new printing technique!"

Zhang Yuqing raised his eyelids slightly, and then said: "I want you to call all the craftsmen in a short time, find out what is in the picture, and collect the method to make this thing mass-produced as soon as possible."

"Wherever my Longevity Sect will open in the future, there must be such a machine that will be responsible for printing Taoist scriptures, classics, and more important things!"

Lu Liang unfolded the blueprint, looked at the pictures and words in it like a heavenly book, and couldn't help being deeply shocked by this exquisite mechanical structure for a moment.

Hearing this, he put down the drawing and asked aloud, "I don't know what is more important than Taoism?"

"I call it: Newspaper!"

Hearing another term that he didn't understand popped out of Daozi's mouth, Lu Liang nodded, pretending to be deeply admired and said: "Daozi's wisdom pearl is really extraordinary!"

Zhang Yuqing said with a smile: "You can think of it as a kind of 'dibao', but the content in it is all produced by my teaching, and the frequency is faster and the circulation is higher. Tentatively, it will be one copy per month. A big coin can be half sold and half given away in the early stage, I want all literate people in the Song Dynasty to have a copy of my Longevity Sect newspaper in the future!"

Zhang Yuqing had already planned the hydraulic printing machine. As far as he knew, the movable type printing technology used in the Northern Song Dynasty had just been released, and it was still a simple clay movable type technology.

He had found an opportunity to visit this printing machine when he went deep into the people before. Generally speaking, it is already the most outstanding technology of this era, but it is a pity that it consumes a lot of craftsmen and is time-consuming and laborious.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yuqing may try to combine the current movable type printing machine with the hydraulic spinning wheel, use hydraulic power as the two-way empowerment of the machine, create a new model, directly hit the pain points of the market, realize the in-depth construction of the teaching ecology, and increase the value of different horizontal scenarios. To achieve a perfect closed loop, use newspapers as the starting point, play a set of combined punches, accurately detonate the barren entertainment points of the Northern Song Dynasty, realize the reuse of play, be result-oriented, amplify the perception of believers, complete the information barrier, refine and differentiate, Platform, structured, and finally closed loop.
