Chapter 83: Treasure Boy
The drama of the lord and the virtuous minister is over.
Li Shimin suddenly noticed that he didn't see his baby son, and asked, "Where is the Qingque people?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Qingque is playing with word molds."
"How effective is it, is it really what you say?" Li Shimin became serious and asked urgently.
Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji also looked at it, looking forward to his answer, the two of them came with today, and they must have known about it in advance.
"It's good at the moment, but we need to try more." Fang Yiai replied truthfully.
"What's the word mold?"
Li Gang doesn't know what to say, he is the only one who doesn't know here, but looking at Li Shimin's serious attitude, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Mr. Wenji, let's take a look, I'm also curious about what it looks like." Saying that, Li Shimin had only heard of his name, and had never seen the real thing, so he gave Fang Yiai a kick, "Lead the way ahead." ”
Led by Fang Yiai, the group went to a large courtyard, which was a large factory in Fangjiazhuang, and several large chimneys next to it were billowing with smoke.
The peasants were shirtless and buried in their work, but now that the weather was still cool, they were sweating profusely, and their main job was to burn bricks.
The group entered a room.
Inside, there are a lot of square, the same size of small pottery, close to see, each of them is a word, dense, all over the house.
Side.
on the table.
A wooden frame as wide as the paper, called the "word plate", Li Tai is sitting at the table, putting the word molds into it one by one, attentive and serious.
Fang Wen is the general person in charge of the village, and he needs to keep an eye on it everywhere, running at both ends of the school construction site and the miscellaneous courtyard, and he is just here at this time.
He doesn't know Li Shimin, but he knows Fang Xuanling, he is not blind, a group of people, obviously mainly the nobles in the middle, when there are a few people who can let the head of the family accompany him.
Guessing Li Shimin's identity, Fang Wenquan was so frightened that he trembled, sweating profusely for a moment, and immediately bowed and saluted, "Caomin has seen Your Majesty?" ”
Where have ordinary people seen Tianyan, they are all this virtue, Tao Qi and Diao San heard this, and they were not much better, and they almost knelt down.
"Erchen has seen his father!"
The little fat man was very excited, got up and saluted the elders, "I've seen my uncle!" I've seen Uncle Fang! ”
After a while, Li Shimin picked up a pottery character and asked, "This is movable type printing?" ”
Several bigwigs also picked up the word mold to take a look, and Fang Yiai replied while using the word mold to compare.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you see, each character is engraved separately, and any book can be printed by arrangement, without having to re-engrave it, nor will it destroy the hard-earned engraving because of a mistake in one word, so that the printing can be speeded up."
"Fang boy, you are a good type, hahaha......"
As soon as Fang Yiai's voice fell, Li Gang laughed, looking very excited, and even a little crazy.
Although he is old, he is not old and confused, and immediately wants to understand the stakes and understand why Li Shimin attaches so much importance to it, "Publishing books in this way, why worry about no books to read in the world, it is really the gospel of the world's readers!" ”
"The boy has done a great deed for the benefit of the world! Thank you. ”
Li Gang is worthy of being a great Confucian in the world, and his ideological realm is high.
In other words, at his age, he has no desires and no desires, and his greatest wish is to spread knowledge all over the world and see what kind of prosperous world it is.
"Sir is stabbing the boy, the kid can't afford it."
Fang Yiai immediately stopped Li Gang, how dare he accept the old man's worship, he is afraid of losing his life.
He looked at Fang Yiai's eyes, full of approval, in his opinion, Fang Yiai's invention of movable type printing, is the first step of the grand blueprint.
With books, knowledge can be imparted.
"Can you let the old man see what the effect of printing is?"
"Why not!"
After speaking, Fang Yiai looked at Li Tai on the side and instructed him to work, "Qingque, you can demonstrate it." ”
With Li Tai here, it must be Li Tai who is responsible for the work, Lao Cheng calls him, he calls Li Tai, and the good habits passed down by the elders cannot be broken in the hands of our generation.
Li Tai is very interested in movable type printing and is happy to do this work, "Wait a minute, the boy will print it for you to see." ”
Back at the table, Li Tai finished the last row,
Then, pick up a brush, dip it in ink, brush it on the coded font, put a piece of paper on it, and brush it again with a clean brush.
Picking up the paper, a neat line of black letters appeared on the paper.
"Father, look." Lee Tae-gyun presented the paper.
"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang...... Hahaha, the handwriting is so clear, this movable type is really an artifact! Li Shimin took the paper, read the first sentence, and laughed out loud.
Looking at a series of operations, Li Shimin was dumbfounded, "With just a small change, you can get twice the result with half the effort, the population of the world is so large, no one even thought about it!" ”
Li Shimin did not hesitate to praise, "Fang Yiai has a world-class talent, and you are indispensable!" ”
Fang Yiai grinned.
From engraving printing to movable type printing, it is a simple thing that only needs to separate the characters separately, but it has taken hundreds of years in history to take this step forward.
Not only Li Shimin, but also several bigwigs were also amazed, Li Gang stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man also admires it, and he thinks he can't think of it." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded in agreement.
Only Fang Xuanling made a straight face and said: "This rebel can't boast, otherwise it will have to be troublesome." Don't your tail, live in peace in the future! ”
However, looking at Fang Xuanling's eyes, I was still relieved in my heart.
After Li Shimin finished praising him, he noticed the content on the paper, and recited it repeatedly: "Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Chuwei, Jiang Shen Han Yang ......"
Li Shimin felt that it was novel, and it was catchy and easy to remember, so he couldn't help but point to these words and ask curiously: "What is this?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is called "Hundred Family Names", an enlightenment book written by the minister."
Li Tai is very discerning, he has already printed several copies, several bigwigs in the house, each has a copy, and when he heard the words of Li and Fang, his eyes also shifted to the content.
"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang......" After a while, several people lowered their heads and read carefully.
"Wonderful!"
Li Gang stroked his palms and exclaimed, "It's simple and easy to remember, and it's most suitable for children's enlightenment." You kid is really talented, the old man didn't misunderstand you, hahaha......"
He became more and more satisfied in his heart, Fang Yiai is a treasure boy, who can always surprise people, and thought: "Choosing to stay in Fangjiazhuang is really the right stay!" ”
Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji looked at Fang Yiai, their eyes were a little strange.
He wrote a book at a young age, and although it was only an enlightenment book, it would be more widely circulated. Leaving words for future generations is the pursuit of many readers, so that this kid did it first.
The key is that Fang Yiai is still very arrogant, and he doesn't care about it at all.
