When Changsun Chong arrived at the paper factory, everything was ready, and Changsun Chong gave the three-character scripture retrieved to the typesetting craftsman, so that the craftsman could step up the typesetting.

The craftsmen took the three-character scripture and began to find the corresponding text layout on the workbench. Qin Feng and Liu Muqing's three-character scripture has been changed, and because some of them have been deleted, the full text has 1,600 words. Because according to the Qin Feng method of printing, the front and back sides should be printed, so the typesetting is arranged in two layouts, one page for one page, one page for two pages, and each page can be printed with 16 pages.

Half an hour later, the layout was already lined up and loaded on the machine. The machine needs five people to operate, because with the current technology can not be fully automatic, so there is one person to put the paper, one person to turn the page, and one person to pull out the printed paper. Two people are embossed with a rocker.

Everything was ready, and the eldest grandson gave an order, and the cross-century printing press was started.

"Click! With the sound of the machine, the printed paper came out of a book, and Changsun Chong picked up the printed paper and looked at it, both sides were printed very clearly, and Changsun Chong knew that the printing process was successful. The craftsmen in the surrounding area gathered around to look at the printed paper.

"So clear, and so fast!"

"It's amazing that just two pages came out in two clicks! It's much faster than copying books! ”

"Continue to print, and print the whole version of the three-character scripture today! Bound into a book, ready for me! The eldest grandson commanded to everyone.

"Yes!" Many craftsmen said in unison.

"My lord, I wonder if this machine can be made more?" An official asked Changsun Chong. Seeing such a printing speed, it is no problem to bind thousands of books every day, if you make a few more, then Datang will not be at the bottom where there will be no books to see and no books to use.

"Hehe, don't worry, you carve more lead characters now, I'll let the craftsman make a few more machines now, and I'll move them over in a few days!" The experiment was successful, and the eldest grandson Chong was very happy.

"Great! We'll engrave now! And they returned to their places, each doing his duty. The eldest grandson Chong went out to Qinzhuang to find the craftsmen specially raised by Qin Feng, made the machine, and came over after a while, took the bound three-character scripture, and had to go to the palace to tell Li Shimin.

Changsun Chong ran to Qinzhuang again, and after instructing Qin Feng's craftsmen, he turned back to the paper factory, and the time was already in the afternoon, and he took two bound three-character scriptures, and then hurried towards Chang'an, and in one day, thousands of copies were printed, and he was used to Qin Feng's ability, and Changsun Chong was not surprised at all.

The eldest grandson Chong walked all the way to the palace with the token and came to the Taiji Palace, but learned that Li Shimin was in the Lizheng Palace, the sleeping palace of the eldest grandson. Because of the legal system, the eldest grandson Chong could not enter the harem, so he could only hand over the two three-character scriptures to his father-in-law, and let the father-in-law go to the Lizheng Palace to report to Li Shimin, while he waited outside the Taiji Palace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Shimin came to the door of the Taiji Hall with a dragon and a tiger, holding the three-character scripture that had just been presented by Changsun Chong, and asked Changsun Chong excitedly when he met: "The art of printing has been completed?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's done! The printing machine is made and installed according to the drawings given by Qin Feng, today I and the craftsman have also experimented with the machine, there is no problem, the printing speed is very fast, a machine a day can print His Majesty holds thousands of copies of the three-character scripture. The eldest grandson bowed and saluted and said to Li Shimin.

"So much! One machine can print thousands of copies a day! Li Shimin helped Changsun Chong up, pulled Changsun Chong into the hall, and said with a shocked face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have arranged craftsmen to rush to make printing presses, and first go to prepare to make fifty units, and the daily printing volume should not be less than 50,000 copies, and then my Datang will have enough books to buy in a short time!" The eldest grandson did the math and said a number conservatively.

"Good! Tell the craftsman to make the printing press as soon as possible! Ten days later, I will take my ministers to visit the printing house. Chong'er, take care of this matter for me! Li Shimin sat behind the desk and said to Changsun Chong.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson rushed back.

"That's the matter of printing first, is this the three-character scripture compiled by Qin Feng and his teacher Liu Muqing?" Li Shimin picked up the three-character scripture and asked Qin Feng.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Three Character Scripture is easy to understand, and the minister thinks that the Three Character Scripture is more suitable for enlightenment!" The eldest grandson said to Li Shimin.

"I have read these three words, easy to understand, rhyme catchy, it is indeed a very good enlightenment book, tomorrow in the court, I will talk to your father and others about this book, as my first enlightenment book in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin flipped through the three-character scripture and said to the eldest grandson.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do!" The eldest grandson said to Li Shimin.

"What's the matter, tell me!" Li Shimin continued to look at the Three Character Sutra.

"The minister printed a thousand copies of the three-character scripture today, ready to give away free of charge in Chang'an, and the three-character scripture produced in the next three days is also ready to be distributed for free." The eldest grandson said to Li Shimin.

"Why is that?" Li Shimin looked up and asked.

"The minister wants the people of the Tang Dynasty to know that the paper and printing techniques are all from Qin Feng's hands!" The eldest grandson rushed towards Li Shimin.

"Oh? Do you want to pull the people to back up Qin Feng? Li Shimin knew what Changsun Chong meant when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Hey, look at this first!" Li Shimin took out the testimony presented by Dai Zheng today from the desk and threw it directly to Changsun Chong, who took it and read it, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, it was simply a reversal of black and white.

Looking at Li Shimin's "Now I know, I have another room today, Du and Wei Zheng will go to interrogate again, if this guard still refuses to change his words, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to protect Qin Feng, and now I have bought ten days for Qin Feng, waiting for the head of the family to come and negotiate with Qin Feng." However, what you said is not useless, these days, you will print the Three Character Sutra for free, the people of the family know that the printing technique has been completed, and they will not be forced too tightly, and there should be officials from the poor family to intercede for Qin Feng at that time. Li Shimin stood up, walked to the window of the main hall, and said leisurely.

"The minister knows!" The eldest grandson rushed back.

"How's the guards at the paper mill?" Li Shimin turned around and asked at Changsun Chong.

"Back to Your Majesty, the people of the left guard take turns to patrol every day. The craftsmen now live in the paper mill every day, and the people who enter and leave are checked twice by the guards. Changsun Chong said.

"Good! For the next few days, you will personally take command of the paper mill and make sure that everything will be normal when I arrive ten days later. Li Shimin said.

"The minister receives the order, but tomorrow the three-character scripture will be issued, after the people of the family know the speed of printing books, one is Mingjin to collect troops, and the other is afraid that he will come to the paper factory to make trouble!" Eldest Sun Chong thought for a while and said.

Li Shimin sat back on his desk after hearing Changsun Chong's words, thought about it, and said to Changsun Chong: "What you said is not unreasonable, there is indeed a possibility of counterattack on the side of the family, and they really don't dare to let them rebel, and they don't have the ability to form an army, but it's safe to send some captive dead soldiers to make trouble, and that's all they can do." ”

"This is what the minister is worried about, after all, Qin Feng's maid Gao Ziyan was tied up by their family, and the minister is also worried that they will send someone to make trouble after knowing the speed of printing books." Changsun Chong said.

"Well, put it like this, tomorrow you go back to the paper factory first, don't leak the news in advance of printing, and don't distribute the three-character scripture for the time being. After waiting for two days, I returned to the order of Chengqian to take the prince to the paper factory. Li Shimin thought about it and said to Changsun Chong.

"Obey orders!"

"Alright, you go back first!"

"Retire!" The eldest grandson bowed and saluted, then exited the main hall and walked towards the outside of the palace.
