readx; "I don't know when the prince will visit, if you neglect the prince, please forgive the prince. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" In the study, Zhuang Hua took the lead in opening his mouth and bowed down to admit his mistake.

Looking at Bai Ti's icy face, although she didn't know what she had done wrong to make this master unhappy, the animal's intuition told Zhuang Hua that Bai Ti's displeasure was caused by her.

Zhuang Hua was also aggrieved in her heart, what is this called, people are sitting at home from the sky, she hasn't eaten lunch yet, and she was pulled to the study to admit her mistake before she was about to eat lunch, thinking about it, Zhuang Hua's shaft strength came up, and her face turned cold.

So the two of them sat and stood one after another, facing each other, putting cold air on each other, and neither of them spoke again. The subordinates in the study and Bai Ti's guards were also silent, this level of ...... The aura duel, they still watch.

Zhuang Hua stood there, hanging his head slightly, his eyes were half-closed, and his hands were naturally overlapping in front of him.

Bai Ti sat on the main seat and looked at Zhuang Hua, who was standing motionless in front of him, intending to stalemate with him to the end, and frowned.

After a long time, Bai Ti opened his mouth to break the deadlock: "Starting tomorrow, the first batch of paper books will be sold at the bookstore in Yanze. ”

As soon as Zhuang Hua heard that she was interested, such an important matter was left behind by her, and immediately looked up at Bai Ti, waiting for his next words.

"This king will pick you up by the way, a papermaker, and go to the bookfactory to have a look." Berti said.

Zhuang Hua immediately threw away Fang Cai's unhappiness, "Lord Xie is worried...... Why don't you go now? ”

Bai Ti didn't move, but still had a cold face, and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

Zhuang Hua was puzzled, "What?" ”

"Who is the person you sent at the door?"

Only then did Zhuang Hua know that Bai Ti's anger came from here, but she had to pretend not to know when she knew, "That's a visitor in the next place, he just came to visit today, his bachelor is very high, Zhuang Hua is ashamed of himself, if he can be used by the prince, he will definitely make a difference." ”

Disaster leads to the east, Zhuang Hua silently said to Yueqiu in his heart I can't help it, I sold you, but the brother is in trouble, and the dead friends are not dead, and the poor road is a big deal to invite you to dinner next time.

Bai Ti's face really softened, and said to Zhuang Hua: "In the future, Zhuang Hua can refuse such strange visitors, but now that your identity is not ordinary, you should be cautious." ”

"That's what the prince said." Zhuang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and this was over.

Bai Ti got up and walked outside the study, and called Zhuang Hua, "Don't go out with this king yet." ”

"Whoa." Zhuang Hua answered and followed.

The bookstore where the paper books were bound was a Zhuangzi near the palace, and there were no other homes within a radius of five miles, and the surrounding residences were inhabited by the workers of the bookstore and their families.

After passing the protection of the outer perimeter of Zhuangzi, as soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw hundreds of pots boiling in the courtyard, all of which were gray and muddy flocculents, and next to each pot there were several workers stirring the contents of the pots with wooden sticks to prevent them from sticking together.

Walking inside, one after another paper-making processes were completely unfolded in front of Zhuang Hua, and some of them were original by craftsmen Zhuang Hua didn't know what they were.

After seeing the last process of cutting paper and binding, the last courtyard, which was completely isolated from the previous courtyard, was full of the smell of book and ink.

Thousands of people were copying articles from paper books at the same time, and a steady stream of new blank books were being sent here.

The audience was filled with the sound of the pages of paper "straw".

Spectacular.

Zhuang Hua sighed with emotion, Gu Zi paced between the copyists, looking at the books that had been copied beside them.

One, two...... After reading more than a dozen books in a row, Zhuang Hua frowned.

"Zhuang Hua is not satisfied?" Bai Ti, who had been walking with Zhuang Hua, asked, causing the copyist who was struggling to write next to him to also stop his pen and look at Zhuang Hua nervously.

Zhuang Hua said: "No...... Just thought of something. ”

Paper has reduced the cost of making books, but in fact, even if the cost has dropped so much, it is impossible to circulate a large number of books in Zhaoguo in a short period of time.

The people who copied the books here were all diners who were originally provided by the palace, and those who could become diners were naturally scholars with a certain amount of knowledge, that is to say, scholars were needed for book production, and ordinary people could not complete it. For a country that lacks scholars, this is undoubtedly a kind of ng-fee, and such manual transcription is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Zhuang Hua was entangled in his heart, and he didn't notice that everyone didn't dare to breathe because of her entanglement, and even Bai Ti frowned, looking at Zhuang Hua without saying a word, waiting for her to speak.

Zhuang Hua will always surprise him, and Bai Ti believes that this time is no exception.

Zhuang Hua didn't think about anything else, but was thinking about whether to get the printing press too, thinking about it, stealing, there are one and two, and no one knows, and this is a thing for the benefit of the world.

Printing, engraving printing, movable type printing, at present, engraving printing is the most suitable, because the types and quantities of books that need to be printed are not very many, and the process is simpler than movable type printing.

In terms of materials, woodblocks, clay blocks, and woodblocks are also prone to mold, but they are simple to make and not fragile. The clay block is not much better than the woodblock, it will not be deformed, and it will be put for as long as you want, but it is difficult to make and fragile. The two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Zhuang Hua couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Lord Wang, is there a craftsman here who is good at wood carving?" Zhuang Hua asked suddenly.

Zhuang Hua's words were relieved.

Bai Ti didn't know why, and said, "What is Zhuang Hua looking for a wood carver to do?" ”

Zhuang Hua put down the book in his hand and replied: "If you want to do an experiment, the prince will know it after reading it." ”

Bai Ti raised his interest and said: This king is rough in wood carving skills, I don't know if it can be used? ”

Zhuang Hua's eyes widened and he looked at Bai Ti in disbelief, which really didn't match the unsmiling expression on her face.

This somewhat funny expression pleased Bai Ti, and he smiled at Zhuang Hua: "Does Zhuang Hua not believe that this king has such ability?" ”

Zhuang Hua hurriedly said: "No, I just didn't expect that the prince would ...... to play things that only literary and artistic young people like Li Xunhuan play." I didn't see it, Bai Ti is also a literary youth!

Bai Ti's eyebrows raised slightly, did he look such an uninteresting person?

"Zhuang Hua wants to carve something, just say it."

Zhuang Hua calmed down his surprise, borrowed a pen and paper from the person who copied the book on the side, wrote the words "pen, ink, paper and inkstone" on the paper, and then handed the paper to Bai Ti with the reverse side up, glanced at him before saying: "Please engrave these four characters on the wood, and the size is comparable to the size of the handwriting on the paper." For such a delicate work, Zhuang Hua still doesn't believe that Bai Ti can do it.

Bai Ti looked at the four words on the back of the paper, "No problem." ”

No problem...... Zhuang Hua was skeptical.

So Bai Ti took a piece of wood and found a place to start carving wood, and Zhuang Hua squatted aside to watch. Bai Ti's hands were slender, the carving knife was flexibly flipped and carved in his hand, and in a moment, the shape of a few words had come out, Bai Ti carefully carved the details, his expression was relaxed and serious, Zhuang Hua looked at it and marveled in his heart, but he didn't expect Bai Ti to really not just "understand a little", he was really proficient.

By the time Bai Ti finished carving, Zhuang Hua's old arms and legs were already numb.

Bai Ti handed the carved wooden plaque to Zhuang Hua, "Zhuang Hua take a look, but is this so?" ”

Zhuang Hua took it and took a look, the font carved out by Yang was clear, and even the strokes were clear.

"That's it." Zhuang Hua wanted to stand up as she spoke, but the soreness in her calves caught Zhuang Hua off guard, and she suddenly fell to the ground, knocking her tail spine so painful that she gasped.

"What's wrong?!" Bai Ti hurriedly came over to help her, Zhuang Hua raised his hand to stop Bai Ti, "It's okay, I'm just numb in my legs...... I hope it's just numb legs."

Zhuang Hua remembered the last time her waist fell from the bed to the ground and was knocked down. Enough injuries have been suffered, hey!

Bai Ti frowned and watched Zhuang Hua sit on the ground without moving, wanting to help but unable to help, and the people next to him did not dare to squeak, and the scene was quiet again.

After a while, Zhuang Hua still didn't get up, and Bai Ti directly ordered the people around him: "Go and ask for a doctor." ”

Zhuang Hua didn't stop it, she felt that it might be a bone injury, otherwise it wouldn't be that her legs would not be numb, and her lower back and tailbone would still hurt so much. Speechless asked the sky...... She thought that this time she was healed, she must go to practice martial arts! Get fit! Osteoporosis is a miracle, and she is not an old man!

"Trouble the prince to let people bring ink and paper." Zhuang Hua said to Bai Ti. Take advantage of the fact that the doctor has not yet reached this vacancy, and explain the next thing, otherwise I don't know when I will come back next time.

Bai Ti asked people to bring paper and ink and handed them to Zhuang Hua. He probably guessed what Zhuang Hua was going to do.

Zhuang Hua crumpled the paper he had just written, dipped it in the inkstone, brushed it on the wood that Bai Ti had carved the words, and brushed it layer by layer, knowing that the ink in the inkstone was dry, Zhuang Hua covered the clean paper on the side of the wood full of ink and the handwriting was facing up, and gently pressed it with his hand.

Opened up, the words "pen, ink, paper, inkstone" are neatly arranged vertically on the paper, clear and unmistakable.

"Zhuang Hua wants to use the method of sealing to print books?!" Bai Ti asked impatiently.

"Yes, the speed of manual transcription is too slow, and it is overkill, it is not as fast as full-page printing, even ordinary people can complete it independently." As Zhuang Hua spoke, she thought that even if she didn't say it, in a few years the people of this world would develop the printing press, and she was just advancing the process.

If it weren't for Zhuang Hua's current condition, Bai Ti really wanted to take Zhuang Hua into his arms. He looked at Zhuang Hua, and his expression changed in his ink eyes.

"He" is too smart, so smart that Bai Ti has a feeling that he can't keep "him", and he can only rest assured if he is firmly imprisoned by his side.

Zhuang Hua didn't know what Bai Ti was thinking, and continued: "It's just that the wood is susceptible to moisture and deformation, and it won't last long, I think it would be better if the printing plate was made of clay, but what kind of clay is suitable for firing the printing plate without blurring the handwriting still needs to be experimented." ”

At this time, the doctor came.

The doctor asked Zhuang Hua about the situation, and then tentatively pressed it at Zhuang Hua's tail vertebrae.

"......" Zhuang Hua gasped.

The old doctor stood up and said to Bai Ti: "Lord Wang, Mr. Zhuang Hua is afraid that he has injured his bones, so let someone move him to the palace first, and then treat him." ”

Zhuang Hua suddenly felt an unpleasant rush in his heart.
