Zhao Hao's concern about movable type printing in his busy schedule is not only a matter of national self-esteem, but also of great practical significance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt present, if Qiongzhou wants to develop, it is impossible without education, and the culture here is backward, all kinds of books are scarce, and a large number of printing supply markets are urgently needed. Of course, the ancients had a tradition of 'copying books' and had a professional copying market, but it was not a long-term solution.

If Lu Xiufu wants to restore Taixue and Zhouxue, those people are okay, they have the foundation to copy books by themselves, and they should deepen their impression. But not in the army, those people are all fighting men, and the majority are illiterate and semi-literate. Zhao Yu asked for 500 words to be selected this time, which is the level of the third or fourth grade of primary school in modern terms, but in addition to the ordinary people in the guard battalion and the old battalion, there are not 500 people in the escort army, so it can only be reduced to the standard of 300 words.

The soldiers in the escort army are still the elite selected from various armies, and the situation of other armies can be imagined, if they are allowed to copy books, they will definitely feel that it is not as happy as going into battle. Therefore, copying books in the army is not only difficult to promote, but also cause resistance, and in the future, there will be more and more norms, and unlike books such as classics and history, which have remained unchanged for a hundred years, military regulations need to be constantly improved and modified, but the engraving is one-time, and it cannot be modified when engraved, or the convenience and speed of movable type printing.

Zhao Yu knew that the original clay movable type was difficult to promote, in addition to the cumbersome and inconvenient use, there was also the uneven inking of the clay movable type, resulting in blurred printed handwriting. Then there is wooden movable type, but once it is not properly maintained, it is easy to deform and crack, and there was a flash in the pan in the future, but it is also difficult to engrave, and it is still not able to be promoted and applied on a large scale.

However, modern people know that China's movable type printing has produced immeasurable significance in promoting world cultural exchanges, but Zhao Yu may not be the case in the current situation. It is really difficult to say whether Chinese movable type printing had an impact on Europe from the history of development, but before the German Gutenberg independently invented Western movable type printing in the fifteenth century, he heard that the possibility of such printing in China and South Korea may exist, and was affected.

Indeed, a Chinese scholar said, "Even if Gutenberg's invention was influenced by Chinese and Korean movable type, the full potential of movable type must be discovered by the alphabet people." Its great potential for a long time was insulated from non-alphabetic peoples and belonged only to alphabetic peoples". Because it was much easier to make movable type using the Latin alphabet than Chinese characters, Gutenberg's movable type printing was widely used in Europe as soon as it was introduced.

As for the technology that allows movable type printing to replace engraving printing in China, it actually comes from the West, and of course it can also be said to be 'feeding'. In terms of movable type materials, Gutenberg took the lead in using lead-antimony alloy to make movable type, which has a lower melting point than the copper movable type and lead movable type used in China and South Korea, and can be easily engraved and harder, so that the movable type is durable, so that it can be used for a long time. In terms of engraving, the American missionary Jiang Beili invented the electroplated copper mold according to the characteristics of Chinese characters and sold it to the Qing Dynasty's prime minister Yamen and various newspapers in Shanghai, while the Japanese Motoki Masazo perfected and invented a better Chinese character printing technology with the assistance of Jiang Beili.

Although he knew the composition of the lead characters in later generations, Zhao Yu still had some difficulties. Lead and tin were discovered and widely used in this era, so these two things are not difficult to find, but it is difficult to find antimony. Of course, he knew the nature of antimony, and of course he also knew that this thing was only discovered and named in the eighteenth century.

Zhao Yu asked about the situation and went straight to the imperial supervisor in the palace, as a royal craftsman, of course, there are top craftsmen in the handicraft industry here. And now, of course, it can't be said that the top players of the Great Song Dynasty are gathered here, but it is not false to say that it is from Qiongzhou, of course, what he wants to do is not jewelry, furniture and other things to play with. Rather, it is practical things such as guns, cannons, binoculars, and grenades, and it can be said that the Imperial Prison is his research institute and laboratory.

"It's still on the soft side!" Zhao Yu summoned a few 'experts' in smelting and casting to start with the material, and after changing the tin-lead ratio several times in a row, the hardness was still soft, and he was a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty, why don't we try again?" A craftsman asked.

"No need, this is already the limit, if the lead ratio increases, the material will be too brittle, and you need to find another way!" Zhao Yu shook his head, he knew that it was due to the lack of antimony, which was brittle and hard, lacking ductility, but after combining with tin-lead alloy, it could reduce brittleness and improve the hardness of the alloy.

"Your Majesty, can you add some 'Lian Xi' to try?" Another craftsman chimed in. Now the imperial supervisors, including the craftsmen of the craftsman supervisors, know that the little emperor has never been stingy in rewarding people who can solve problems, so everyone's enthusiasm is very high, and you can still learn a lot of things by working with it, and even if you are wrong and waste materials, Your Majesty will never pursue it with a smile.

"What is Lian Xi, is it here!" Zhao Yu thought about it, he really didn't know what it was, and frowned.

"Your Majesty, this is a commonly used thing, and it is available here!" Seeing that the little emperor was interested, the craftsman immediately replied.

"Commonly used things?" Zhao Hao asked strangely.

"Your Majesty, if the copper coin we use is only cast with copper tin, the texture will be soft, and it will wear out quickly after a long time, but as long as you add some tin, it will become hard." The craftsman explained.

"Oh, there's still this thing, bring it to me!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, he knew that this might be a trace element, which could affect the casting result after being added, and what it was would have to be seen.

"Your Majesty, Lian Xi is this thing." Soon a craftsman brought a white irregular lump.

"This ...... Isn't this antimony? Zhao Yu took it and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise.

"Antimony?! Your Majesty knows this! The new noun in the little emperor's mouth made all the craftsmen stunned for a moment, looked at each other and asked.

"Hehe, I was looking for this thing but couldn't get it, but I didn't expect it to be called Lian Xi!" Zhao Yu grinned with an antimony block.

"Your Majesty, then adding Lian Xi will solve the problem." The craftsman asked tentatively.

"Of course, with it, today's thing is half the battle." Zhao Yu didn't expect that the result of his hard work was actually successful by accident, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients is not worse than that of modern people, he turned around and said, "Oh, Liu Ling will pay five hundred yuan, you will pay two hundred, and the rest will be fifty!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" Several craftsmen grinned in unison. And the craftsman who mentioned it was even more excited, and in a word, he bought himself a small courtyard in Fucheng, and he didn't have to rent a house to live in the future.

With antimony, the problem is solved, the advantages of ternary alloy are low melting point, good fluidity after melting, small shrinkage during solidification, the appropriate metal ratio is deployed, and the carved movable type is full and clear. The next day, Zhao Yu asked Zhou Xiang to find a craftsman in the printing industry for guidance, and designed the style and font size of the lead character according to the memory of his previous life, and then found a group of people from the Hanlin Academy Bookstore to write the model characters according to the selected font. Then hand it over to the carvers to carve the characters with copper, cast the lead characters, and try to print them on the ink after trial production.

After two busy days, Zhao Yu finally finalized all the procedures and details, and the word-making project is indeed not small. Not only do they need to cooperate with each other, but they also need to have financial and material resources to keep up, so it is no wonder that the booksellers are reluctant to do it, which means that they can mobilize the forces of all sides, and concentrate the top craftsmen, and do not hesitate to make this happen.

Although the process has been determined, there are two or three thousand commonly used Chinese characters, and there are many repeated words in a page of the book, less than a dozen, more than dozens, and to be divided into different font sizes, so at least tens of thousands of words of font library are needed to be able to open for business, which is not counting the rare words that may appear. Considering the tight time and heavy task, Zhao Yu set up a heavy reward, and all participants will be rewarded with 50 times after the completion of the January period, and the bonus will be increased by 10 times if they do not complete one day in advance.

Thinking that it is not enough to have lead letters, but also to need a series of craftsmen and typesetting, proofreading, and auditing required for printing. Zhao Yu thought about it, so he first hung the printing house under the name of the Hanlin Academy, where there were many idlers, all of whom were literate and hyphenated, and they were also engaged in cultural undertakings, and their professional counterparts were also conducive to confidentiality. So he transferred people from the four bureaus to set up a printing bureau, which sounded lofty, and set up a courtyard in the palace to set up a factory......

After tossing and turning in the imperial prison for a long time, although Zhao Yu only moved his mouth and didn't need to do it himself, he was inevitably disgraced when there was smoke and fire. After returning to the Tambo Pavilion, Su Lan hurriedly prepared hot water to serve His Majesty in the bath.

"Oh, add some cold water, it's too hot today!" Zhao Yu stayed by the furnace for a long time and sweated, and now he still feels that the fire is burning, and he shouted after getting into the water.

"Official, okay?" Su Lan scooped half a scoop of cold water into the bathtub, lowered her head and said softly.

"Add more, I've been roasting on the stove for a long time today, and it's almost dried fish!" Zhao Yu was still dissatisfied.

"The official family can't add any more, and you will get sick when you suddenly get cold." Su Lan politely refused.

"Oops, where is it so easy to get sick, hurry up!" Zhao Yu looked at Su Lan, who was still hanging his head, and picked up a little water and splashed it on him. This little Nizi had been promoted a year later and was already a guard of the Shangyi Bureau, but he found that since he had eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the Empress Dowager's Palace, he had become strange and couldn't tell what it felt.

"Official...... Don't make a fuss, you'll catch a cold! Su Lan turned her face in fright, and hurriedly pressed His Majesty back into the water.

"How do you care about more and more things, I'm not a weak little lady!" Zhao Yu was dissatisfied, but found that his face was crimson, the tip of his nose was sweating, and he reached out and scraped his nose and said, "Look at your hot face is red and sweaty!" ”

"Official, if you are sick, how can the Queen Mother spare the slaves!" Su Lan got up and wiped his body with a silk scarf.

"Alas, you are no longer my person, but have become the eyeliner of the Queen Mother's side by my side!" Zhao Yu patted the water and muttered.

"The official family ......" Su Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Just now, Director Zhou sent a new military uniform designed by the official family, but he left first if he couldn't wait!" ”

"Really? Did he make one for me? Zhao Yu listened and said excitedly.

"Of course, how could Master Zhou forget about the official family, and told the slave to try it on for the official family." Su Lan said.

"Okay, hurry up!" Zhao Yu didn't care about the heat and coldness of the water, and urged Su Lan to ......

Zhao Hao finished taking a shower as fast as he could, thinking that he could finally put on his 'normal' clothes, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. This time, he designed the military uniforms of the infantry army and the navy army respectively, but fortunately, there is no winter and summer in Qiongzhou, and there is no need to distinguish winter clothes and summer clothes for the time being. And he has 'plagiarized' his habits, naturally, he also borrowed a lot of modern military uniforms, and this time it was designed based on the training uniforms of the German army during World War II.

Although Hitler was not a good person, Zhao Yu still remembered Hitler once said: "The military uniform must be handsome, so that young people will join the army without hesitation." The Nazi uniform, designed and produced under this idea, is considered to be the most beautiful military uniform ever made. And in his previous life, he was very fond of the kind of German shirt with a straight waist and the wide crotch breeches, and a pair of riding boots, which was really handsome.

"Official, how do you wear this?" Su Lan took a set of military uniforms and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to put them on.

"I'll come by myself!" Zhao Hao grabbed the aisle. He knew that this military uniform was too different in this era, and he canceled the now popular right style and adopted a modern one, and in order to prevent it from being too avant-garde, he reluctantly removed his beloved small lapels. He quickly put on a crewneck T-shirt, then put on breeches and tied the inner belt, put on the jacket and fastened the buttons, and finally buttoned up the wide armed belt and stepped on knee-high riding boots.

"Alas, this hair really should be shaved!" Of course, the hat is a flat military hat, but at this time, men have long hair and fluttering, and short hair is different. For the convenience of movement, they are all hairpins, but after wearing a hat, it will bulge a piece, which is too ugly, he couldn't help muttering.

"The official family must not be damaged, and the parents who suffer from the hair and skin of the body must not be damaged!" Su Lan was shocked when she heard this.

"What can I do?" Zhao Yu's face darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be depressed, how could it be so difficult to do something by himself as it was like Tang Seng to learn scriptures!

He knew that what Su Lan said was right, this sentence was what Kong Lao Er said meant that the body, hair and skin were all given by his parents, since he was received by his parents, he should remember his parents' love for their children, protect their body hair and skin, and dare not damage it slightly, this is the beginning of filial piety. The ancients advocated "filial piety first", so the scholars vigorously advocated hair retention. Since all goodness comes first, then protecting one's body hair and skin is the "beginning of filial piety", and it is also the beginning of all goodness. Therefore, the ancients left all their hair, put on long robes and high boots, and protected every inch of their skin, so that no one except the monks could leave an inch......
