Entertainment in this era is extremely monotonous and rare.
Before the crossing, Gao Wen saw a description of the rareness of ancient entertainment in various novels and film and television dramas. This can be said to be a common saying, but after crossing, he still had to sigh that this sentence is really not just a joke.
In this world, entertainment projects are not only scarce, but also very restricted by the social class. For the upper class, the biggest entertainment in leisure time is to enjoy opera, music, hunting, dance, etc., although it is still very boring in Gao Wen’s eyes. But it can be regarded as a colorful life. It is obviously impossible for the lower class to afford this extravagant life. Therefore, the lower the society, the rarer the entertainment projects that people can reach.
Go to the bar to drink and fight, use a few simple ways to gamble (and often still have to evolve into a fight), listen to the street rapper's rap (of course, here is called legendary poetry), this is almost civilian The people have only had a way to relax while they are working. Besides, they can only do things at home to make children, but even then, their leisure time is still very poor.
Because of the low productivity, and more importantly, the crush of the lords and nobles, most civilians have almost no “leisure time”. They have to use 80% or 90% of their energy to work hard to maintain their own. Living in a subsistence life, most people do not have any extra energy and physical strength after filling their stomachs, and this is precisely the scene that most noble lords are happy to see: the people are working hard, and nothing else should be produced. Thoughts, no one is trouble, no one is lazy, naturally happy.
However, in Cecil’s collar, the situation has changed.
The people filled their stomachs and even filled their stomachs. They also had extra money and rest time.
This is a natural matter for Gao Wen's past life. In this world, it is unprecedented and the managers are caught off guard.
“After a period of construction, various infrastructures are in place, survival is no longer a problem, and the production pressure of the factory has begun to ease, so we have entered the next stage,” Gao Wen slowly tidy up the pieces on the table. Said to Hetty, "Before, everyone in the territory must go all out to survive. No one has leisure time, so the order is very good, but now we don't need this, the people are getting reasonable. At rest, the food supply has become abundant, so the rich and full of leisure people naturally need to do something to consume energy. According to the general 'law', they can only go to the bar to drink, and then fight with people in the streets. Either you spend more money and go for some flesh-and-blood business, or gather gambling... The law and order is getting worse and worse in this process, but it doesn't blame them.
"We can't let people work continuously, so the accumulated pressure can only make the law and order worse, so we have to give the people some entertainment."
Gao Wen put the chess box in his hand and looked up at Hertty's eyes.
"Chess is a good thing, it can kill time, exercise intelligence, can win and lose, and it is very interesting in this process, but it is unrealistic to rely on a chess game to solve the law and order problem. We must do more. .
"It should be regarded as a kind of responsibility to let the people feel satisfied and happy. This kind of satisfaction is not only limited to making them full and warm, but also should let them enjoy the spiritual life they take for granted.
"In addition to chess, I also improved the rules of the king deck. The original king deck rules are too complicated, and it is a kind of entertainment that more learned people can understand. It is not suitable for promotion to the whole people, so I simplified it. Let the civilians also master, I named it the 'Leader Deck.' In addition, I also thought of several games that can be played indoors, not complicated, and very interesting. In addition, the original, used for gambling For a variety of dice games, we can also remove or limit their gambling elements for promotion and promotion.
“I plan to open such a chess room in the territory, which can be integrated with the bar, but only provides drinks such as low-alcohol and sour water. Its main function is to relax people. Moreover, these chess cards are also cheap to produce. It can be opened to merchant craftsmen to let them make and sell, which can increase the income of the territory and make the life of the people at home richer.
“Besides, for those who don’t like to be entertained indoors, I’ve also conceived several outdoor sports that both release excess energy and make our people stronger and more agile than polo and hunting, that’s only What the aristocrats can afford, I will explain to you after the preparations are ready."
Listening to Gao Wen’s thoughts, Herti’s heart is more and more recognized by these plans, and she is also deeply aware of the omissions in her previous management of the territory. Finally, when the ancestors finally came to an end, she was forbearing. I can't help but ask: "Ancestral ancestor, can you say... Have you thought about these things long ago?"
"It was really thought long ago, but in the early days of the construction of the territory, everyone had a problem. At that time, naturally, there was no need to consider these." Gao Wen smiled and nodded. "Don’t underestimate these things and maintain them. When the territorial order and the people’s happiness are enhanced, they can be used more than the machines in the factory."
Looking at Herti’s nodded look, Gao Wen sighed softly and then said: “Providing cheap and easy-to-satisfy entertainment is only part of improving people’s well-being and maintaining order. In addition, the construction of the security team is still Very important, you should not ignore this."
"Yes, I understand."
After Gao Wen arranged the matter, Heti left the living room, and Gao Wen sat quietly on the sofa in the living room.
There will be more and more people in the territory, and as the industrialization of the magical guide continues to develop, the materials on the territory will only become more and more abundant. Then it will be that the civilians will no longer have to worry about the basic livelihood and enrich the people. Entertainment is a matter of course. After all, entertainment is one of the basic needs of people after satisfying the warmth. If you can't provide what they want, then they will naturally find ways to satisfy themselves. Drinking and fighting, gathering and fighting, gambling Normal however.
However, Gao Wen has to do more than just promote several kinds of entertainment projects, so that the people have enough places to play after eating and drinking.
There are more people, cities are expanding, and people who can read and read literate in the territory are more and more day by day. It is also time to promote something that has been brewing for a long time.
He got up and went back to the study.
A large mechanical drawing is laying on his desk.
This drawing was drawn from a few days ago. Since most of the structure is not too complicated, he has completed 7788, but only the most critical part has not yet been seen.
This is a weird machine with a transfer structure for conveying paper and a large “roller” in the center of the machine. Its transfer structure feeds the paper under the drum and synchronizes the paper as it runs. Advancing, above the drum is connected the ink wheel for transferring the pigment and the container for storing the ink. This is a simple and technically original printing machine.
A machine that can continuously print and change the world.
Gao Wen knows that if the people's material life is satisfied, if they can't meet their spiritual life in time, then society will inevitably become chaotic. The more serious the mismatch between this spirit and material, the more chaotic will be.
Therefore, after realizing that the population on the territory is increasing and the people who are full of food and drink need spiritual life, he will soon come up with entertainment projects such as chess, lord decks and billiards to alleviate people's high intensity. The mental pressure generated by continuous work enhances the happiness of everyone living on this land.
But just having fun is not enough.
After the implementation of general education, the number of people with basic literacy skills in the territory is becoming more and more. At the same time, as the population increases and the city expands, it relies on the original city bulletin board and the way the soldiers preached. Not enough, so Gao Wen thought of the need to improve the culture of the territory, increase the propaganda and propaganda.
Since everyone is literate, give them the text, which is the most direct idea of Gao Wen.
There is no printing technology on the territory. In fact, the world not only has mature papermaking, but also more mature engraving printing technology. The labels of the alchemicals produced in the alchemy factory are bottled on the bottle, and the students used in the general college. The textbooks are all made out of this kind of printing technology. For the early stage and even the current stage of cultural propaganda construction, these technologies are sufficient, but for the future that Gao Wen wants to achieve, this kind of Technology is still far from enough.
He needs to be more convenient, easier to edit and implement, and more suitable for large-scale industrial production technology to replace these two "shopping techniques."
So he designed such a continuous roller press according to his memory and the appearance of the guess, but now he has to solve a problem how to make a plate.
How can I convert the edited content into the bumps on the drum in the quickest and most convenient way, and then print it out?
The traditional engraving speed is obviously too slow, and it does not meet his requirements of “easy operation, easy editing, and low cost”.
To be frank, although Gao Wen can conceive most of the structure of this printing press, he has no idea how to implement the key technology inside, even if his memory has been strengthened, he can all the knowledge he has seen in previous life. Recalling, but those things that have never been seen before can not be imagined by the air and he feels that even if he knows that the key technologies are useless, can he still be said in this world with different physical rules?
He has to think about the solution from a magical point of view, but unfortunately he has not figured out a way yet.
After pondering for a while at the desk, he looked up and greeted the outside of the study: "Betty!"
The little maid immediately pushed the door in, one in the end: "Master!"
"You are going to call Rebecca."
A moment later, the Missess of the Cecil family came to Gao Wen’s study.
Gao Wen looked up from the drawing and saw Rebecca looking at himself curiously, and the girl’s sleeves, hands and face were still visible with black smudges everywhere, and the appearance just followed the workshop. When he came out, he couldn't help but smile: "You are being smoked by your own fireball?"
“No!” Rebecca quickly explained with a hand. “I just came back from the Magic Technology Institute and I haven’t had time to wash my face. I’m researching the ‘transmission’ you mentioned earlier...”
"Okay, I haven't blamed you, you are doing business," Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, beckoning to get the other person close. "You come over, I will give you a task."
