Chapter 229: Printing

"Second brother, do you have anything else to do today?" , and then Liu Rong asked.

Liu De immediately arched his hand and said: "It's okay, I don't know what the eldest brother commands."

"That lonely will take you to see a good thing."

looked at Liu Rong with a mysterious face, and after thinking about it, Liu De agreed.

At this time, it was already late autumn, and in these days, it would rain from time to time, and the two of them went out of the painting hall together, but it was already raining in the sky.

However, after a while, two or two little eunuchs came forward to hold umbrellas for the two, and Liu Rong and Liu De got into a car together.

Walking on the road, Liu De lifted a curtain on one side of the frame and looked at the scene on the side, but Liu De asked, "Big brother, where are we going?" ”。

Liu Rong just smiled and said, "You'll know when you arrive."

After a short time, the car drove out of Chang'an City.

And where they went next, Liu De naturally saw it, but the two of them arrived in Shanglin Garden.

After getting out of the car, Liu Deyi arched his hand and said, "Big brother, what are you doing in Shanglin Yuan at this time?" ”。

"You'll find out later," Liu Rong said.

Then, under the guidance of an attendant, the two went to a courtyard.

As soon as he entered this courtyard, Liu De was immediately dumbfounded, and in this room, it was a paper-making workshop.

I saw a group of people, carrying things back and forth, and even in a room, I saw a craftsman, cutting and binding white paper.

"Is this a workshop for making blank paper?" , Liu Deyan said.

Hearing this, Liu Rong just nodded, but didn't say anything.

After becoming the crown prince, in addition to Sixian Garden in Shanglin Garden, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, also assigned a place to Liu Rong and let Liu Rong toss by himself, and he can do whatever he wants.

So, Liu Rongpen, a penny, moved the paper-making workshop from the outskirts of Chang'an to here.

Just when Liu De was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, sitting and looking right, Liu De said to him: "This workshop is just going to go over here, and after a while, it will be moved out."

"I asked you to come today, not only to see this paper-making, but to have other more important things."

Then he dragged Liu De to another house.

However, the people in this house seemed to have known that Liu Rong was coming here, and when they saw Liu Rong pushing the door in, they were not panicking.

Immediately, he stepped forward and knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "The villain greets His Royal Highness the Prince."

Then he raised his head and glanced at Liu De beside Liu Rong.

Of course, this person is not a fool, and if he can stand next to the prince, he will naturally not be a simple character, but this person looks as young as the prince, and the ministers of the court will not be a person of the same age.

However, looking at this dress, he doesn't look like a subordinate of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Rong naturally saw the embarrassment of the basin in front of him, smiled, and said: "This is Liu De, the king of Zichuan."

Then the man saluted and said, "The little man comes to the king."

"Excuse me".

"King Xie".

After the man got up, Liu Rong asked, "What you want, are you ready?" ”。

"Back to Your Highness, it's ready, please take a look."

After speaking, he led Liu Rong and Liu De to a bookcase.

At this moment, I saw a person hurriedly walking to the room, bowing to Liu Rong and saying: "The minister Yan is visiting His Highness, he is a step late, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins."

"It's okay to be polite, it's a lonely whim, so I ordered someone to summon you," Liu Rongshi said.

"Your Royal Highness Xie", at this time, the master father Yan had just gone through a serious illness, and his complexion had not improved, and he got up with the support of the attendants.

…………………………………………………………………………

Before walking to the bookcase, he pointed to the wooden board on the case and said to Liu Rongyan: "This is the order of His Royal Highness, and many craftsmen, it took several months to complete."

This is a piece of jujube wood that is more than ten years old, and it is a perfect work of art carefully carved by the master father and more than a dozen craftsmen after countless days and nights.

During these months, I don't know how many carved plates have been broken, and finally carved out this perfect piece.

In his previous life, Liu Rong had seen in the book that the engraving and printing of the plate wood, the ancients used catalpa wood, so the engraving was called "carved Zi" or "Zixing", and the most common is pear wood or jujube wood, so the carved book is called "pay the pear jujube".

In this way, people will be ordered to find jujube wood and pear wood that have grown for decades to make plate wood.

As early as when the paper was made, Liu Rong considered whether to make a carving.

However, after becoming the crown prince, he immediately put this into action.

In the era of monarchs, as long as the emperor said a word, he could mobilize the entire empire to do one thing.

Although Liu Rong is not the Son of Heaven, the power he can mobilize is also inferior.

I thought that after mobilizing so many manpower, material and financial resources, it would not be long before the first finished engraving of the Han family could be made.

But I didn't want to, at the beginning, I encountered difficulties.

The Han family originally had the technology of carving and hollowing, which naturally made it difficult for these craftsmen to be few.

But one thing is very important, those lacquerware, carved things, are some auspicious clouds, birds and beasts and other decorative patterns, and on the engraving, carved words.

With the current education level of the Han family, ordinary officials are illiterate, so naturally they can't expect that craftsmen can read and write.

Therefore, the first level of making engraving is to teach these craftsmen to read and write......

However, due to the reason of mirroring, the engraving on the engraving still has to be engraved in reverse, but it is more complicated.

This glorious and arduous task was handed over to the master father.

It's good to take this opportunity to polish the heart of the master's father.

So when the engraving was about to be made, the Lord Father was sick.

But today is finally the time to witness the work of these months, and of course it is necessary to find the Lord Father.

And the master father himself also wanted to come here, so after receiving the call of the prince, the master father Yan could no longer care about anything else, and immediately came here.

"Come on, use it," Liu Rong said.

The craftsman on the side was about to make a move, when the master father Yan made a preface and said: "Your Highness, can you order the ministers to do it."

Glancing at the master's father, Liu Rong said: "Then the Qing family will come."

The master father nodded, took the wooden board, brushed a layer of ink on it, and then, took a piece of white paper to cover the engraving, and gently brushed it on the engraving with a brush.

Picking up the blank paper, Liu Rong read it: "Shi Jiazi is ambiguous, and the dynasty is sworn by the suburbs of Shang.

The king's left staff Huang Yue, and the right Bing Bai Yilu, said: "Young, people from the western soil!"

This is the content of this, which is the oath of King Wu of Zhou when he raised his army.

I still thought that the first engraving of the Han family, made and printed on paper, might be a little blurry.

But he didn't want to, it was so clearly printed, Liu Rong was naturally overjoyed.

Then Liu Rong stretched out his hand and handed the paper with the pastoral oath to Liu De on the side.

At this time, Liu De was of course excited, and everything in front of him seemed to have exceeded Liu De's imagination.

With the first engraving, then there will be a second, a third............

In this way, the time for engraving and printing into a book is just around the corner.

Thinking that the Han family could make a book made of paper and printed more than 200 years before AD, Liu Rong's heart couldn't help but be a little excited.

However, engraving and printing into a book is naturally not the most important purpose.

Liu Rong was determined to popularize education in the Han family, but this book is a change related to the top priority of education.

As a modern person, you may not be able to understand what it is like to write a letter or a strategy to a person, and this letter or strategy should be pulled by a carriage.

But this is true in the Han family, and in the Tianlu Pavilion, a complete Shangshu stored in it may have to be loaded into several carriages before it can be transported away.

But with a book, it's different, everything that can only be loaded in these carriages can be compressed into this book, and it is easier to carry and flip through.

And its most important significance, by no means only here, but again, with printing, the family that sprouted in the Han family and influenced the entire Chinese history for hundreds of years will be dug up.

Although it looks like it's just a wooden board with something different, it's a big killer that can completely shatter the foundation of the family's growth.

Liu Rong was naturally also happy, and said excitedly: "The engraving is made, and the lonely is happy, and the person who should be meritorious will be rewarded for the solitary."

Just when the craftsmen on the side were all happy, Liu Rong said again: "All craftsmen will be rewarded with 20,000 yuan!" ”。

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" , these craftsmen, all kneeling on the ground and saluting.

…………………………………………………………………………

Just when Liu Rong was happy, he saw Wang Sheng and ran into the house in a panic.

As soon as he saw Liu Rong, he immediately said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered people to hold festivals and summon Your Highness into the palace."

Hearing this, Liu Rong just thought that he was going to enter the palace to see his father.

"Where is that person at this time?" , Liu Rong asked.

"Knowing that His Royal Highness was in Shanglin Yuan, he went back to the palace first to resume his life."

nodded, Liu Rong was going to leave in a car with Liu De.

Before leaving, he also said to the master father: "The Qing family has just recovered from a serious illness, so let's go home early to recuperate."

"Thank you for your care".

After separating from Liu De, he went to the palace and changed his clothes, and Liu Rong immediately rushed to the palace.

When he arrived in the palace, Liu Rong heard that his father was sick again.

This made Liu Rong very surprised, a few months ago, he had privately asked Chun Yuyi if his father's health had improved greatly.

According to Chun Yuyi's statement at the time, as long as Dad pays attention to recuperation, there will be no big problem.

It's only been a long time, and it turned out to be sick again.

However, after thinking about it, Liu Rong roughly thought of the reason.

There is a saying that the country is easy to change, and the lustful character of the father cannot be changed.

became an emperor in his early thirties, but long before he became an emperor, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, had been hollowed out by wine.

After ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, he still kept enriching his harem and having fun.

Thinking of this, Liu Rong calculated in his heart that he would succeed to the throne one day, and he must not learn from his father........................

Outside the Qilin Palace.

I only heard the rumors from outside the palace to the palace: "The prince asks Your Majesty!" “。

"The prince asked His Majesty...".

The prince asked, .............

After experiencing cumbersome etiquette again, Liu Rong was able to enter the palace to see his father.
