Seeing everyone's admiring eyes, Li Yang was still quite proud in his heart.

However, Li Yang knows that although engraving printing is awesome, movable type printing is actually a great technological revolution in the history of printing.

In fact, Li Yang also wanted to directly invent movable type printing at the beginning, but because time did not allow, he finally chose to use engraving printing for the time being.

In movable type printing, it is necessary to first make a single word of the Yang text anti-text mold, which is much more troublesome than making engraving. Moreover, when printing, it is also necessary to arrange the font molds of these words in the word plate, which is time-consuming and thankless for printing the same textbook.

In addition, movable type printing, it also has a condition, that is, the printing workers must be literate. This is also a flaw for the current Qin Dynasty.

The engraving printing is different, it is very in line with the printing needs of textbooks, a textbook to print 100,000 copies, so as long as a piece of engraving is produced, any worker can directly and repeatedly print.

Li Yang calculated that the three textbooks add up to several hundred pages, that is, there are hundreds of engravings, and only a few hundred printing workers are needed, and each worker prints even 1,000 pages a day, and 100,000 copies will be printed in three months, and finally bound into a book, and there will be 100,000 copies of each textbook. Therefore, at the beginning of next spring, it is completely possible to ensure the smooth promotion of compulsory education.

In addition, we will be able to use these engravings in the future to continue printing first-grade textbooks for next year, the year after, and years to come. Therefore, in terms of printing textbooks, engraving printing is better than movable type printing.

For Li Yang, as long as engraving printing is invented, then the next movable type printing, just need to mention it, and they can study it lightly, and there is no need to worry about it themselves.

Therefore, Li Yang immediately said to He Zhang: "This kind of printing technology, called engraving printing, has the advantage that only one engraving plate can be repeated countless times. It is very simple, convenient and fast, and is suitable for large-scale book printing such as textbooks. ”

Everyone nodded, they had already seen how much engraving printing had a role in printing textbooks, so they all said excitedly: "Adults are really talented and smart, this kind of engraving printing will be like papermaking, shaking the world, and it will have a far-reaching impact on my Chinese culture, and adults can really be described as immeasurably meritorious!" ”

For He Zhang, this is not a sycophant, but a truth.

Because the current knowledge and culture are all copied by hand, preserved and disseminated.

This will inevitably lead to the limited retention of knowledge materials, so they cannot be widely disseminated.

With this engraving printing technology, the retention of knowledge materials in the future will no longer be a problem. As long as it is good knowledge, good information, and good culture, engraving plates can be made and then printed in large quantities, which can greatly accelerate the spread of knowledge and culture.

Let me ask, is there anything more significant in this world than this invention?

At this time, they finally understood why Li Yang said before that printing has the same status as papermaking.

It seems that Prime Minister Zhong really did not deceive people.

Just when everyone admired Li Yang very much, Li Yang began to dislike engraving printing, and said: "Actually, engraving printing also has its shortcomings. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The prime minister is the prime minister, and the role of engraving and printing is about to affect the world, but he still feels insufficient about it.

At this time, I heard Li Yang say: "Engraving printing, because each engraving plate is fixed, so only the same information can be printed, if you want to print other materials or books, you have to re-engrave a new engraving." So, it's not flexible. ”

Xiao He said: "What's this, you have to print other books and remake the engraving." ”

He Zhang and the others also nodded again and again: "Yes, it is already the most advanced printing technology in the world, why should adults be harsh." It's no longer possible, these engravings can be freely transformed! ”

Li Yang nodded: "You're right, in fact, Benxiang does know a more advanced printing technique, which can freely change words." ”

Ga!

Everyone stumbled directly and almost fell to the ground.

"Big ...... What do you say, my lord? You also have a typographic technique that can freely change words! ”

Suddenly, several people looked at Li Yang with shocked faces, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Engraving printing was enough to shock the world and would have a significant impact on Chinese culture, and he even said that he knew a more advanced printing technology......

Evildoer, is this guy still human?

Xiao He and the others suddenly had a sense of inferiority, and compared with Li Yang, they seemed to have become scum-like existences. Not to mention that you can keep up with the knowledge and wisdom of others, you can't even touch it.

Li Yang didn't know that these guys were abused, so he nodded and said, "Benxiang knows another kind of printing technique, which is called movable type printing. ”

"Movable type?"

As soon as everyone heard the name of this printing press, they felt that it was superior.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, movable type printing, in fact, is not complicated, that is, to make a text mold one by one, and then according to the content that needs to be printed, the required text mold is selected, arranged in the word plate, ink printing, so that no matter what content is printed, you can print flexibly." Is it more advanced than woodblock printing? ”

When the words fell, I looked up, and saw Xiao He and the others all looking at themselves as if they had seen ghosts, staring at them one by one with a pair of bull's eyes.

Xiao He and the others were really stunned!

They couldn't understand at all, everyone is also human, why Li Yang can be so smart.

This has just invented engraving printing, and then he actually came up with movable type printing, and this movable type printing, its subtlety, is so shocking, crying ghosts and gods. Movable type plate making just avoids the lack of engraving, as long as you prepare enough single character mold in advance, you can imposition at any time and print all the books you want to print!

Oh my God!

The prime minister is simply unparalleled in the world, an incomparable genius!

When he came, everyone was overwhelmed.

Li Youzan said: "The adult is really a genius, the wisdom is outstanding, the use of whimsy is even more superb, and an idea that comes up with random is so earth-shattering, affecting the development process of Chinese civilization, any praise in the world is not enough to describe the talent of the adult." In short, Xiaguan's admiration for adults has always been like the surging water of the Yangtze River, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, out of control. ”

Everyone also nodded again: "So do we." ”

For this group of sycophants, Li Yang was also speechless.

waved his hand and said: "You don't need to shoot the fart, now that the printing technology has told you, the next printing matter of the textbook will be handed over to You Zhang You are fully responsible, Xiao He, your Education Department also helps to supervise it, the textbook is very important, and there is no room for error." ”

"Whoa!" He Zhang, Xiao He and others immediately received their orders.

After pondering for a while, Li Yang said again: "There is also movable type printing, He Zhang, you can study it slowly in the future, the character mold can be hardwood, if you can use copper to make the word mold, it will be better." ”

He Zhang looked excited: "When the craftsman finishes the engraving of the textbook, the lower officials will let them continue to try the movable type type." ”

Li Yang nodded, movable type printing is actually not difficult, he believes that the Shaofu should be able to invent it soon.

The matter of printing was finally done, and Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then waited for the engraving to be made and began to print......

"Prime Minister, I can be regarded as finding you! Your Majesty Zhangtai summons! ”

Just when Li Yang was about to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, at this time, Liu Xi from the palace came over.

"Your Majesty looking for me?" Li Yang was stunned.

Liu Xi nodded: "Exactly, Prime Minister Zhong will follow me into the palace!" Your Majesty is waiting. ”

Li Yang said curiously: "I don't know what Your Majesty is looking for me?" ”

Liu Xi shook his head: "This ...... The subordinates didn't know. ”

Well, Li Yang had no choice but to follow Liu Xi and rush towards Zhangtai Palace......
