Big Panda Boss

The Ministry of Industry of the Empire is located in a large manor halfway up the Tongtian Peak. There is a hidden building complex like an underground labyrinth underneath the manor. It was originally an ancient martial art refinery workshop with complete infrastructure, but no one would use it. .

　　 After establishing the six departments, Chen Fan was most concerned about the Ministry of Engineering. He specially allocated a large number of skilled craftsmen to the Ministry of Engineering, and then personally compiled the direction of the Ministry of Engineering, so that this department would not become a clear water sect.

　　 Now the entire empire’s Ministry of Industry has grown to tens of thousands, of which nearly 90% are craftsmen and craftsmen. They study all kinds of weird things according to their assigned tasks every day.

　　 Heibao and Chen Fan came to the Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry, and saw that the huge manor was very lively, and from time to time, various crackling explosions could be heard...

　　 And the person in charge of the Ministry of Engineering is also Chen Fan's old familiar demon, Demon Master Yadu.

Although 　　ya don’t know what scientific research is, the victory lies in his honesty and loyalty. As long as Chen Fan’s task is to stick to the end, he will never discount or cheat.

　　 "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a mess in the warehouse, I'll let someone move out the printing press." Yadu asked for instructions with a smile.

　　 Chen Fan stationed and took a look at the door of the warehouse, and a warehouse filled with all kinds of strange things.

　　 "Well, let's move out."

　　Ya immediately attracted a few big-waisted little monsters to lift out the huge printing press.

　　 The entire printing machine is like a large machine tool, filled with various seemingly precise gear sets.

　　 Chen Fan took out a ruler, carefully inspected every part of the printing machine, and then tried to run it a few times without any problems.

　　 "What about movable type?" Chen Fan asked.

　　 even scratched his head and said, "My lord, the number of movable type you want is a little too much, we only made half of it."

　　 "Show it to me."

　　 "Okay." Yadu immediately ordered the two little monsters to go to another workshop to bring a basket of bronze movable type.

　　Because no lead mine was found, the stone characters were easy to damage and iron characters were easy to rust. Chen Fan had no choice but to cast a lot of bronze movable type.

　　 took a few movable type at random and measured the size. Seeing that they are all very regular, Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction.

　　 Then Chen Fan ordered someone to fetch some ink, typeset a page and put it on the printing machine for printing.

　　 Heila looked at the novelty, and had to shake the machine.

　　 As the drum whirled, a white page was rolled in and then turned out, and there was a piece of ink on it.

　　 Chen Fan carefully took off the printed paper and spread it out on the table. Hei Ba and Ya immediately moved forward curiously and stared at them, all with surprise.

　　 "It's really printed!"

　　 "This is much faster than handwritten!"

　　 "Hey, how many characters can you print in a day at this speed?"

　　Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Heiba ​​for instructions: "Your Majesty, I am going to publish a large number of books on grid materials and plan to build a library for imperial citizens to borrow."

　　 Hei Ba waved his big hand: "It's right."

　　 "Thank you, Your Majesty."

　　 Next, Chen Fan stayed at Tongtian Peak for nearly a month.

During this month, while he was busy copying books, he was busy planning the site selection and construction drawings of the library. At the same time, he recruited literate scholars to enter his newly established Imperial Press and Publication Administration, which was organized under the Ministry of Etiquette. The main business is responsible for editing the publications of Royal Books and Empire Press.

　　 At the same time, Chen Fan also introduced private capital, opened up the patent rights of printing presses at a low price, and encouraged private businessmen to also participate in the printing industry and newspaper industry.

　　Of course, non-governmental publications will be closely monitored by the Imperial Press and Publication Administration, not what you can print what you want.

　　 However, private capital is always cautious about new things, so in the early days of the newspaper industry, there was not much private capital involved.

　　 Chen Fan had already anticipated this, and even had a plan to deal with it. He paid for himself and advertised several new wines for ten issues on the first to tenth pages of the Royal Daily News!

　　 Then several new wines were sold out of stock directly, which caused a short-term situation of short supply, which also gave birth to a scalper party specializing in reselling new wines.

　　 Private capital has seen this kind of show operation, and they are all shocked by King Swallowing's show operation.

　　 Then within half a month, hundreds of private newspapers have sprung up in the empire.

　　 And the printing industry has also developed rapidly by this shareholder's wind. Chen Fan immediately took the opportunity to quickly promote all kinds of books across the country, so that every citizen of the empire can read these precious books cheaply as long as you are literate.

　　The most intuitive effect is that in the next few years, the Imperial Patent Office received more than 100,000 patent applications!

　　 Thus, the Tongtian Empire also took this opportunity to finally ignite the spark of industrial civilization!

　　Of course, these are all things to follow.

　　……

　　 Cui Bamboo Forest.

　　 "Ah!" Chen Fan stretched out on the bamboo chair with a comfortable expression, while enjoying the warm sunshine, he reached out and grabbed the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

　　 Since the development of the empire was on the right track, Chen Fan once again retreated behind the scenes and became a hermit master. Only when Hei Ba encountered some difficult problems, would he send someone to ask him for advice.

　　 After all, the rapid development of the printing industry has also promoted the rapid development of education. As a result, a large number of literate and technical civil servants can be trained to fill various positions every year, without having to do everything for themselves as before.

　　 Chen Fan also led a peaceful and leisurely life again, either paralyzing from morning to night, or fishing or brewing wine from various fields.

　　 But the leisure time is always short, because you don't know what will happen when you wake up tomorrow.

Chen Fan, who was lying on a chair enjoying the afternoon sun, suddenly smelled a trace of blood, squinted his eyes and turned to look, and saw the queen bee walking up to him with a **** human head~www.ltnovel.com~ Sui Shou Jiang The head was thrown in front of him.

　　 Chen Fan sat up, scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "Manny, I can't be human."

　　 The queen bee rolled her eyes and said: "You know how to do it. I don't want to eat it. This person is a spy I found in the cave."

　　 "The spy??" Chen Fan asked with a blank face: "The spy?"

　　 The queen bee grabbed the head like a coconut, and opened the head directly, exposing the white brain, and saw a longbeard spider lying on the brain.

　　 A look of surprise flashed across Chen Fan's face, and he asked, "You came from the north?"

"Exactly." The queen bee said directly: "Many humans in the Western Continent took advantage of the freezing of the winter sea and ran to the northern ice sheet, and then some of them took refuge in the queen spider and became puppets. This is the fifth person in the past half month. Kind of spy, I suspect that **** is trying to go south."

　　 Chen Fan laughed and said, "Is the spider queen so courageous to invade the empress's territory?"

　　Queen bee obliquely said: "The underground world is wider than you think. There are many ancient beings who have been sleeping deep in the heart of the earth. If you are awakened by that bitch, the consequences are not what you can imagine!"

　　 Chen Fan immediately became serious and asked, "Do I need to do anything?"

The queen bee said: "Originally, this was my personal grievance with that bitch. You shouldn't be involved. But that **** controls a large number of humans to work for it, so you must find a way to give those who die Drive away and don’t get involved in our war."
