Li Zhi has no time to care about these trivial matters, now he only pays attention to the batch test results of movable type printing, many things theory and practice are completely different things, it sounds simple casting, engraving, firing, typesetting, printing, it is so easy to really implement it, and even the simplest sintered clay also needs countless trials and improvements.

In this era, everything was purely handmade, just to determine the font, Li Zhi took great pains to find a down-and-out official named Xu Jingzong, and spent a lot of money from his hands to buy a manuscript of Feibai handed down from Taizong.

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin loved the flying white body of the Wang Right Army, and it was popular in the Tang Dynasty for a while, at least those who were officials and those who wanted to be officials flocked to it, and it was possible to win the favor of the emperor with a good flying white.

Therefore, there are not many flying white books on the market, but there are definitely a lot of them!

However, Li Zhi couldn't look at it, and just wanted to see the true works of Taizong but couldn't, so he "begged" Xu Jingzong, who had just been demoted to the history of Zhengzhou.

Lao Xu is also poor and almost unable to open the pot, as one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Wangfu back then, it seems that there is no more miserable teammate in the same period than him.

The eldest grandson, Fang, Du, not to mention for the time being, only said that compared with Ma Zhou and Liu Xun of the same period, it is also equivalent to standing still, and the hardships have endured for most of his life, and in the end it is easy to wait for the east wind of the new emperor to ascend the throne, and he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, but only because of greed for money, he married a girl by mistake, and was impeached by the imperial history, and was demoted from the Ministry of Rites to the Zhengzhou Assassin History.

It's a pity that it backfired, a lot of money was spent, but it had no effect, the future and money were bleak, so that he was desperate, and he was in a dilemma, Li Zhi's appearance gave him more reasons to stay.

Therefore, he saw that "fools" like Li Zhi really liked it, and he could buy his hand-copied manuscript of Taizong as a genuine handiwork, which made Lord Xu not very tough with the money, and he was afraid that he would be approached in the future. So I had to remind Li Zhi again and again that this was just his own manuscript, not Taizong's authentic work!

"Lord Xu, don't fool me, even if it's really a fake, I will buy it, just with this charm like Taizong Mobao, it is worth a thousand dollars!"

These words made the fifty-eight-year-old Lord Xu almost moved to tears, and he didn't let go of Li Zhi's hand...... This kind of stupid melon skin with a lot of money is sent to his Lao Xu, it must be God's arrangement.

Then, under Lao Xu's pandering, the two chatted more and more speculatively, and when they knew that Li Zhi was Xue Li's first apprentice, the two became more enthusiastic, and the virtuous nephew and uncle soon became like a family.

Two scheming men: one deliberately ingratiating, the other pretending to be stupid, hit it off, an obvious copy of the manuscript was finalized in a hundred taels of silver, all happy, this is how the New Year's friendship came, Lao Xu said that Li Zhi's apprenticeship, he had to go to Brother Xue to ask for a cup of wine to drink, and Li Zhi also enthusiastically said that the two should often be close to each other in the future.

As for the subordination that is more suitable for printing and engraving, of course Li Zhi knows, but the entire Tang Dynasty is filming the royal horses, and he Li Zhi has such a good opportunity, why not use it? Of course, you can't say it, you still have to taste! Savor it!

Then the problem of casting mold specifications, the law of thermal expansion and cold contraction of cement, the firing process, and the typesetting process, Li Zhihe and the craftsmen invited by Li Zhihe continued to explore, and even started in person.

As a lover of literary examinations in later generations, with some forward-looking opinions and suggestions he gave, he really avoided countless misunderstandings, and in this way, it took more than two months to wait for Li Zhi's movable type printing to finally come out.

There has been no news for several days, and suddenly when he heard the little fat man mention it, Li Zhi was also in good spirits, rushed to the test site in his Zhuangzi, and saw Li Quanhu and Zhuang Wuchen and others, Li Zhi couldn't wait to walk into the forbidden area in the middle gate.

According to his arrangement, on the left side of the newly selected Zhuangzi, such a factory-like house was built first, as a research base, the house did not choose the style, how simple, how strong, how practical and how to come, after it was built, except for a limited number of people, no one could enter.

In the inner courtyard room, the two craftsmen were overjoyed, how valuable is this thing?

Except for Li Zhi, I am afraid that the two of them know best! At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City already had the first engraving printing, but the printing cost was too high, and even ordinary scholars could not afford it.

Out of a book, it is necessary to engrave the corresponding number of pages of the word board, as long as even if the wrong word, the whole page must be scrapped again, waste work and waste, this is also an important reason why the literati have been writing books since ancient times, cherishing words like gold, expensive!

Now that all the problems seem to have been perfectly solved, you only need to prepare a few sets of fonts, and replace that one if the word is broken, so how much can the cost be reduced?

Li Zhi picked up the two pieces of finished word molds, not very relieved to carefully inspect, the two craftsmen were very angry, if it were not for their humble status, I am afraid that they would be able to walk away on the spot, looking down on people, not looking down on our eating skills.

Guanzhong people's stinky temper: When you are happy, you have half a catty of meat at home, and you will be happy to borrow a catty; Seeing that you are not pleasing to the eye, the knife rests on your neck and scolds you, there are a lot of sentences!

I continuously checked the regulation and error of hundreds of character molds, and tried the printing quality by myself, and found that the error is not much different from the effect made by the machine!

Seeing that Li Zhi couldn't put it down, the craftsman also breathed a sigh of relief, and after months of working day and night, he was finally worthy of the silver money given by the little boy.

"Childe, the old man's craftsmanship is still passable, right? It's not that the old man is blowing nonsense here, the entire Chang'an City has this craft, and it definitely doesn't exceed this number! ”

Hu Laohan looked up at the old face of Hei Suosuo, and stretched out his hand full of knife marks and ink to Li Zhi coaxingly.

Li Zhi was also happy in his heart, he forgot for a while, took out two silver cakes from his sleeve, and patted them on his hand: "Uncle Hu's art is exquisite, I have worked hard these days, take a good rest for a few days, and I will have more days to bother you in the future!" ”

I was thinking of rewarding the master and apprentice, but I didn't expect the old man to be unhappy: "Son, don't dare to give any more money, your silver is valuable, and the old man can't spend it if he takes it!" The old man has already taken enough money, and it is enough for the dog to marry two daughters-in-law! Dog, go home and sleep! ”

Li Zhi hated itchy, did this dead old man do it on purpose, it was obvious that people were just unhappy that he would pick a thorn as soon as he came!

But even if it was deliberate, there was nothing he could do with this old man...... Who makes the apprentice also call the dog!

How can God know where so many dogs come from?

At the moment, although the number of character molds is only hundreds, simple poems can still be put together, Li Zhi made up the right ones, typeset them word by word, and then dyed ink for trial printing, and the four rows of twenty-eight characters jumped on the paper:

Xinfeng wine fights ten thousand, how many years has Xianyang Ranger. The meeting spirit is the king's drink, and the horse is a high-rise weeping willow side.

"It's ...... What did you write? ”

A few big heads came from behind Li Zhi, Zhuang Daya asked suspiciously, he was able to read it completely, but the next few didn't know a lot of big characters, Zhuang Wuchen, Zhuang Buxian, Li Dayi, even Li Quanhu was wide-eyed, some of them could recognize a few words, and some of them really didn't know a single big word, such as Zhuang Wuchen and Zhuang Buxian!

Syllable!

The elder was very unhappy with the birth defect of not knowing words, and he used the parenting method to slap the little fat man on the head and said angrily:

"Read!"

Little Fat Man: ......
