In today's emperor Song Zhenzong's "rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of bells in the book; there is no need to erect a high hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book; don't hate no one to go out, there are many cars and horses in the book; don't hate to marry a wife, there is no good matchmaker, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book; if a man is a man, he will read it in front of the window." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" under the teaching of this widely praised poem, these people of the Great Song Dynasty are very fond of reading, after tea and dinner, they are all happy to read, the teahouse restaurant from time to time to tell the storyteller's voice of frustration, one after another, and those old people of the Great Song Dynasty are very happy, telling all kinds of stories. From childhood to now, we have been listening to all kinds of stories for a long time, and we can't help but feel a little bored, especially Xiao Fei, who said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't these people tell the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", isn't that the story of the Three Kingdoms period?

I laughed: "Xiaofei, then you are very wrong, in fact, although the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes the historical situation of nearly 100 years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the whole book also reflects the political and military struggles of the Three Kingdoms era, the changes in the situation, but in fact, it is written by the novelist Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, which is China's first novel with a long chapter of historical romance. That is, it only came after the Northern Song Dynasty, so these Great Song Dynasty were born too early, and they haven't had a chance to see "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is known as one of the four classic Chinese masterpieces. ”

Xiao Fei touched his head embarrassedly: "Haha, I did forget, I only know that as the name suggests, I thought it was written by someone at that time, so according to what you say, so far, there is no trace of the four famous works on the market of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

When I heard his words, I immediately felt enlightened: "Yes, but when it comes to these four famous novels, I have downloaded them from my solar computer, and I never get tired of reading them, do you want us to print these novels, so that these Great Song people can also have a glimpse, enrich their spiritual world, and make up for their regrets of being born too early." ”

Xiao Fei was full of praise and said, "Oh, Ziyue, it's a rare good idea to get this thanks to your eccentricity." And we're at the right time, and it's unbelievable that at any time before such a great tome would have been published. For this, we also owe a lot of credit to the great scientist Bi Sheng, who invented movable type printing, and it was he who made the first movable type printing in Europe 400 years later than the history of movable type printing in China. ”

I also sighed and said: "Having said that, this Great Song Dynasty is still a dynasty of invention, three of the four great ancient inventions are in the Song Dynasty, which is really an era that we are proud of, and Xiaofei, you also conform to this wave of inventions, invent so many things, and benefit the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is really worth the trip." ”

I then asked curiously, "By the way, what the hell is going on with this movable type printing? How the hell did you get it, you as a technical person should know." ”

Xiao Fei said triumphantly: "You haven't studied this, have you?" Of course I know that this is a piece of cake for me. This Bi Sheng, he first used cement to make a single word with uniform specifications, burned it hard with fire, made it a movable type of clay, and then classified it in the wooden grid for typesetting. When typesetting, a framed iron plate is used as the bottom support, and the agent made of pine resin, wax and paper ash is applied on it, and then the required cement movable type is picked out from the spare wooden grid one by one, and arranged into the frame, which becomes a version when it is full, and then roasted with fire. Wait for the agent to melt slightly, flatten the literal surface with a flat plate, and after the agent cools and solidifies, it becomes a version. When printing, as long as the ink is brushed on the version, the paper is applied, and a certain amount of pressure is added. After printing, the agent is baked with fire, and the movable type of cement will fall off from the iron plate with a slight shake, and it can be used again and again next time, so that we can print the book, which is simple and flexible, and convenient and lightweight. ”

After having Bi Sheng's method, we are like a tiger with wings, and Xiao Fei is also happily singing the song of change: "I am a printer with strong printing skills, I want to print the Red Mansion, Water Margin, Three Kingdoms, and Journey to the West together." "The hard work paid off, and it didn't take long for us to print hundreds of copies of the four famous books. Of course, considering that some of the contents may not be very good and will have adverse consequences for us, we have no way to show up in person, so we have to be anonymous, and take advantage of the unpreparedness to put these books in the market, and then quietly look at it, and the thick stack of books has already been looted. It turns out that although in the Great Song Dynasty, the book is much cheaper than before, but it is still expensive for the ordinary people, and these Great Song people still think that it is a divine book from heaven, we look at each other proudly, and cheer for our spare time life of the Great Song people.

Within a few days, I heard the storyteller in the teahouse being loud on the ground, subduing the tone and frustration, noisy and cutting miscellaneous, and the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate were talking about the classic plots of the four famous books, and those viewers were even more fascinated and dreamlike. Those old men were under the big trees with rich shade, and they painted a voice and color to the yellow-haired boys who gathered around the group, talking about the interesting plot of Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law in Journey to the West, and finally heard that the woman became a heavy Monkey King, those children laughed, and the laughter lasted for a long time, and suddenly remembered that in modern society, when we were young, we sat in front of the small bench every summer vacation, and never got tired of seeing the scene, it seems that this is the same in ancient and modern times.

After a few days, more and more people read the books, and we heard that in the bazaar, many people were talking about the four famous books, talking and commenting, so we quietly stopped and listened quietly to see what these ancient Great Song Dynasty people thought of the four famous books.

An old pedant with a white beard said indignantly: "What kind of "Water Margin" is this, it's really whimsical." Although the writing is fluctuating and fascinating. In particular, some of the plots are particularly interesting, such as outwitting the Birthday Gang, and three dozen Zhujiazhuang drunken beats Jiang Menshen. The blood is splashed on the Mandarin Duck Tower, the storyline is twists and turns, and the characters are flesh and blood, lifelike, and leaping on the paper. However, isn't there a word in the book of heaven that our Great Song Dynasty has been safe for 700 years, what kind of book is this nonsense, it is just nonsense, it is too irresponsible, and it makes people panic. ”

Another dark-skinned middle-aged man said unhappily: "How can this Great Song Dynasty be played by a mediocre person like Gao Yu between applause, it's incredible, how strong our Great Song is, and how holy our emperor is." That is not the case now, nor will it ever be. ”

A young man echoed and said: "That is, if it were another dynasty, they would be going to kill their heads if they talked nonsense like this, who wrote this book? ”

The old pedant said indignantly: "I think that most of this person sees the benevolence of the saints today, and will not do anything to him, so he talks nonsense, I think the existence of such a person is really harmful beyond the outline." ”

The middle-aged man continued: "Yes, wasn't the Great Song Dynasty unharmed for 700 years, how did it suddenly become the last year of the Great Song Dynasty, and the capital also changed, didn't this author write nonsense? And these heroes were forced to go to Liangshan. It's delicious to eat and drink here, the emperor is shengming, how can it be possible to force Liangshan under such circumstances? I think this author is really full and has nothing to do, so he scribbles. ”

The young man said, "That is, you said that if these people were with us, would these things have happened? You don't know, in fact, I like our Great Song Dynasty very much, and our emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people, I think that our Great Song Dynasty will last for thousands of years. ”

The old pedant continued: "Now some are eating, some are drinking, and it is peacetime, how good, you don't know how many sins the people suffered in the early years of war, when they were displaced, and their corpses were scattered all over the field. As the saying goes, a good bow is exhausted, and the lackey Heng, how many generals of dynasties have been poisoned and killed because those emperors are afraid of their high merits, and our Song Taizu came up with a glass of wine to release the military power, and the problem was easily solved without blood. This created our Great Song Dynasty to rule the world with benevolence from then on. ”

The middle-aged man continued: "The story here is very bizarre and wonderful, but I think this author is simply full of food and has nothing to do, is he too far away from actual life, and is he talking nonsense? ”

I didn't expect that these ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty were quite patriotic and supported the rule of the emperor today, which really surprised us, whether these ordinary people were completely fooled, or whether today's saints are really extraordinary, and can be ruled by saints, we are far away from the mountains and rivers of the capital here, and we don't know. However, the important thing is that although "Water Margin" has written a number of heroes with different styles and personalities, and the literary level is very high, due to the factors involving specific eras, the "Water Margin" that we reprinted later was not cared for, and the original one was quietly retired, and there were even fewer people who read books. We had no choice but to withdraw this book from the shelves, knowing that it would change the dynasty when it was first printed, but we didn't expect that the people of the Great Song Dynasty would have such a strong sense of national pride and national pride.
