"I think too much," Wang Yin replied lazily: "Lao Luo wrote it." ”

"People from your hometown?" Li Shimin asked.

"Hmm." Wang Yin nodded.

"That's a pity, I also said to meet this talent." Li Shimin shook his head.

However, Li Shimin was inexplicably happy in his heart: It turns out that you kid is not good at everything? Hey!

An inexplicable sense of superiority filled Li Shimin's heart...

"I said you wouldn't come just because of this little thing, did you?" Wang Yin wondered.

"Or else?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "I always have to rest properly. ”

Wang Yin was speechless: I thought you had something to do with me, but it turned out that you were just an idle egg...

"Lao Li, is the paper still being made?" Wang Yin suddenly asked.

"According to what you say, it's been selling." Li Shimin replied: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"Recently, I'm going to print a book, and when you turn around, you ask Duan Lun to bring some paper, and by the way, bring some people who can bind books with you." Wang Yin replied.

"You want to print books?" Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin were surprised when they saw this.

"What's wrong? What's the problem? Wang Yin was startled by their shouting and looked at the two suspiciously.

"Could it be... Be.. What about the technology of printing? Li Shimin asked excitedly.

"Sort of." Wang Yin said: "Isn't this the recent fire of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I'll make a bookstore to print some books and sell them for fun." ”

Wang Yin is telling the truth, after all, those who can listen to books have a few spare money in their hands, and the poor will definitely not be able to listen to them. Wang Yin pondered making some books to sell and play, which was regarded as enriching the cultural and entertainment life that the people of the Tang Dynasty lacked.

"That's right..." Li Shimin was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

"What ?。。。 the instrument used for printing?" Immediately, Li Shimin asked with bright eyes.

Anyway, let's see!

"When Duan Lun comes, you will naturally be able to see it." Wang Yin replied.

"Ink!" Li Shimin shouted to the side.

The three brothers were originally boasting to Qin Huaiyu about the wonderful experience of killing robbers along the way, but when they heard Li Shimin shouting to themselves, Cheng Chumo hurriedly ran over.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Chumo looked at Li Shimin and waited for his further instructions.

"You go to the Ministry of Works, and I order Duan Lun to bring a cart of paper and some people who bind books." Li Shimin handed Cheng Chumo a token.

"Whoa." Cheng Chumo took the token and went home to lead the horse.

An hour later, Duan Lun came to the General's Mansion with people and paper.

Wang Yin picked a room with a larger area at home, and after directing Duan Lun to clean up the furniture and other things inside, he took out several sets of live lead molds that he had bought a long time ago.

"This is the new printing technology?" Li Shimin looked at the several word racks and word plates on the ground and wondered.

"Hmm." Wang Yin arranged the word shelves against the wall and then took out a word plate and put it on the table that was specially left just now: "This thing is very simple to use, just put these word molds in this word plate in the order you need." ”

Wang Yin casually typed up a plate as he spoke, and then took the paper and ink brought by Duan Lun and demonstrated it once.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Seeing this, Li Shimin slapped the table and said, "This will be much more convenient!" ”

Datang's current word boards are all engravings, printing a book requires a large number of engravings, if there is a word carved wrong, then the entire edition will be wasted.

And even if it takes a long time to carve this set of boards, it can only be used to print this book, and if you want to print other books, you have to re-engrave it.

This is also one reason why Datang books are expensive: the cost is too great!

But Wang Yin's printing technique is different!

It is easy to operate, easy to understand at a glance, and is no longer limited by fixed engravings, and can be flexibly arranged according to different books. And the word mold can be reused many times, the cost of the engraving is suppressed to the extreme level, even if the engraving is wrong, as long as a single word mold is carved from the new, there is no need to rework it as before!

"I never dreamed that a weapon that could destroy the foundation of the family would be so simple... Li Shimin looked at the movable type on the table and sighed.

"It's like this a lot of times, if you look at things from a different perspective, you will find new horizons." Wang Yin pretended to be 13 and came to a sentence.

"The idea of the immortals is different!" Cheng Yanjin sighed with emotion while curiously fiddling with movable type and word plates.

In his opinion, since it was taken out by Wang Yin, it must be something from his hometown, and the people from Wang Yin's hometown are not immortals.

Duan Lun looked at the things on the table with his mouth wide open, and fell into a stupor: Now that he has this thing, coupled with the previous papermaking technology, I am afraid that books will become the cheapest thing in the future! Everybody has a book to read, what a concept!

"Alright, you can start typography and printing according to the book." Wang Yin said as he took out a few copies of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and put them on the table.

Duan Lun and the others immediately divided a book, went to the word plate and walked to the word shelf, or picked the word and clapped it.

As for the question of whether the printing press will leak out, several people said that they did not care.

Since these people are working in the Ministry of Industry, Li Shimin has naturally done a good job of keeping secrets and means, in fact, if it were not for the factors of the family, Li Shimin would like to popularize the printing technology now, so that the imperial examination will truly become an effective way for the imperial court to select talents, rather than just a decoration as it is now.

As Cheng Yanjin, who wears a pair of pants with Li Shimin, naturally he will not do superfluous things.

As for Wang Yin, this product is simply indifferent...

"Now that I have the weapon to pull out the family's cancer, as long as I destroy the Turks, I can concentrate on dealing with the family." Sitting in the rocking chair, Li Shimin secretly thought to himself: "Next year! When this potato is popularized and the food problem is completely solved, it will be the time when I am ashamed! ”

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement, feeling full of energy and confidence.

Seeing Li Shimin shaking there, Wang Yin sighed: Being the emperor is really a dangerous job, you see this good person, if you say that the sheep is crazy, the sheep will be crazy...

A few days later.

There is a shop selling books not far from the tile building, and the words 'tile book house' on the plaque are particularly maverick.

Some people who eat melons with good deeds saw this brand and immediately thought of the fire of the tile building and the tile teahouse, and immediately got into it to take a look at the excitement.

As a result, the man froze as soon as he walked in.

Book! A lot of books!!

I saw that on the shelves inside the shop, there were neat and tidy new books, and when I looked at it, there were four big characters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the cover!
