Chapter 161: Block Printing
Yang Su Zhang by the printing press?
You can figure it out!
Li Yang was completely speechless, he found that not only Fusu, He Zhang, and Li You were keen on naming, but even Yingzheng was a raccoon dog, and he had just changed the earth to Qin Qiu.
Li Yang shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhang Cang on the side.
"You ...... What are you going to do? ”
Xiao He smiled hesitantly, and said with a lewd face: "My lord, since the name of the printing technique is so long, it is better to add three more words, let the three of us also stain it, just call it Yang Su Zhang He Shencang Printing Technique, this name sounds loud!" ”
"............" Li Yang is stupid!
Loud, your sister, loud!
Yangsu Zhang by He Shencang Printing......
I'm Rinima, this is madness!
Can you be a little cheaper?
Li Yang has a black line on his face, if it weren't for the fact that these guys are all famous in the history books, either they are the young masters of a country, or the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Li Yang would have wondered if he had collected a group of cheap Bs.
"My lord, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?" Li You asked.
Li Yang: It's good that I didn't vomit blood!
At that moment, he rolled his eyes and said: "Printing is just a technology, not to create new things, so you can save these names."
Fusu said: "What Taifu said is, but it is not impossible to add a name in front of this technology to show respect for the person who invented and created." ”
"Yes, yes, Your Highness makes sense." Xiao He and others agreed repeatedly.
Li Yang: "............"
Forget it, don't talk to you shameless guys.
It's too thick-skinned to say anything about you.
Looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, Li Yang felt congested in front of these people for the first time.
This is really, if you are cheap, you are invincible!
And Xiao He and the others were excited one by one, and at the same time full of expectations.
I was thinking in my heart what the origin of this printing technology could be compared to papermaking.
…………
Not long after, the group finally came to Jiangzuo Shaofu.
"Xia Guan has seen the prime minister!" As soon as he saw Li Yang coming, He Zhang hurriedly came out to greet him.
Fusu urged: "He Zhang, where is the carving craftsman, take me to see it, Taifu is going to invent a printing technique as powerful as papermaking!" ”
"What? An invention as powerful as papermaking? ”
As soon as he heard this, He Zhang's eyes immediately lit up, and he suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the craftsman has been waiting for a long time, and he is in the stonemason workshop, please come with the next official." ”
As he spoke, he hurried forward to lead the way.
It is divided into various craftsman workshops, including blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons...... And so on, there are countless craftsmen of all kinds.
He Zhang said excitedly while leading the way: "My lord, won't we be able to make a name for ourselves again this time?" ”
Li Yang nodded: "Printing can indeed benefit the world. ”
As soon as he heard this, He Zhang was excited: "Xia Guan has already thought about it, no matter what is invented this time, it will be called Yangsuzhang, there was Yangsuzhang paper before, and now there is Yangsuzhang printing, these three words will be passed down through the ages in the future." Haha......"
At this time, Fusu on the side said: "This time, a few of them will also participate, saying that they want to call Yang Suzhang He Shencang printing." ”
When He Zhang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "No! They didn't participate from beginning to end, how could they add their names to come in, this is the credit of Chiguoguo's robbery of us. ”
Li You was unhappy and said, "He Zhang, how did you speak, the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness didn't say they disagreed, why didn't you agree." ”
Xiao He and the others also nodded again and again.
He Zhang said: "Just because this will be Shaofu is my territory, believe it or not, I will drive you out?" ”
Li You: "............"
Xiao He and the three: "............"
Li Yang now finally understands that no matter how cheap a person is, he is afraid of a trickster.
Li You lost his temper completely, so he had to succumb: "General He, you say, how can we add our names to it?" ”
He Zhang thought for a while and said, "None of you have made any efforts, why add your name." But unless you give a hundred gold to finance the invention, you don't have ...... Not negotiable. ”
When Fusu heard this, he also nodded: "Yes, in the past two days, my son has been collecting carvers in the whole city, but he is not lightly tired, you give some funds, even if you contribute." ”
When Li Yang heard this, he rolled his eyes.
Okay, it's the same thing that looks away, and He Zhang, this guy is even more shameless, he actually makes money with Lao Tzu's invention?
One hundred gold? The purchasing power of future generations is equivalent to nearly 400,000 yuan.
Li You pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Okay, one hundred gold is one hundred gold, the master is out." ”
And Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhang Cang sighed with a look of loss, because they had only been in office for a short time, and it was impossible for them to come up with so much money.
Moreover, the three of them didn't dare to insist on adding names, what if this guy He Zhang really kicked them out?
And Li Yang, naturally, pretended not to hear anything, and walked forward by himself.
Soon, the group came to the stonemason's workshop.
The stonemasonry workshop is huge, and there are already more than 200 carvers waiting here at this time.
As soon as He Zhang arrived, he said loudly: "This is the prime minister, and he is not ready to see him." ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly shouted in unison: "Prime Minister!" ”
Li Yang bowed back to show Corporal Xian, and said loudly: "You are all carvers in my Xianyang City, and I have gathered you here this time because I have entrusted you with help." ”
Everyone said in unison: "The prime minister is sent to die, and I will not give up." ”
Li Yang said with a smile: "With your words, I can rest assured." However, I don't have to die, but I just want you to help me carve something. ”
"What do you want me to carve?" An old craftsman asked.
Li Yang didn't answer this question immediately, but asked rhetorically, "You should all know about seals, right?" ”
The crowd nodded.
"It's not a secret, this phase needs a batch of carved plates like seals."
When Li Yang said this, he took out the textbooks for Chinese, mathematics, and ideology and politics, held them up and said: "This is what you want to carve, and there is only one requirement for the original appearance, that is, you must carve out an identical carved plate according to the content on each page." ”
After speaking, Li Yang handed the three textbooks to the craftsmen for circulation.
The craftsman took the textbook, glanced at it casually, and asked again, "I don't know if the adult wants Bai Wen or Zhu Wen?" ”
The carved plate is divided into yang and yin.
The so-called yang text means that the characters are convex on the stone, and the yin text is concave.
However, the ancient name is the opposite of the present, because the ancients called the yin and yang script according to the seal seal on the sealing mud, and the yin text presented on the sealing mud is yang on the seal; On the sealing clay is yang, but on the seal is yin. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstanding, the Yin script is called Baiwen, and the Yang script is called Zhuwen.
Li Yang said: "Zhu Wen! ”
The craftsman asked, "Is the carved plate that the adult wants to make jade or not?" ”
Li Yang shook his head: "Use jujube wood or pear wood." ”
The craftsman nodded and said, "I already know how to do it." ”
Li Yang is very happy, in fact, the engraving printing technique is indeed very simple, it is the same as the seal, the only difference is that it is just a larger seal.
The plate material for engraving printing is generally made of fine and solid wood, such as jujube wood, pear wood, etc. Then the wood is sawn into pieces of planks, the words to be printed are written on thin paper, and then pasted on the boards, and then according to the strokes of each word, the strokes of each word are carved into yang characters one by one, so that the strokes of each word are protruding on the board. Once the board is carved, the book can be printed.
Therefore, it is not difficult for these craftsmen engaged in carving to understand.
Li Yang said: "The engraving of the plate, this phase will let the carpenter workshop according to the size of the paper, cut and send, you are only responsible for carving, I don't know how long it will take you to complete the carving of these three textbooks?" ”
The craftsmen then began to look through the textbooks, count the papers, and discuss for a while, and then replied, "Half a moon! ”
Li Yang shook his head and said: "Ten days, I will only give you ten days, and I will be the salary that the Shaofu will give you a month's salary, can you do it?" ”
The craftsman glanced at him, then nodded: "Ten days will be ten days, and the task will be completed!" ”
Li Yang was overjoyed: "Okay, then today's carpenter workshop will start preparing the plates, and you will come here early tomorrow morning to start work!" ”
Everyone said in unison: "Oh! ”
The craftsmen then said goodbye and left, but Xiao He and the others looked at Li Yang with shocked expressions.
Because they finally vaguely saw what Li Yang meant by printing.
The contents of the textbook, like a seal, are carved into plates.
Then, you only need to dip the engraving in ink, then cover the board with white paper, and gently brush the back of the paper with a clean brush, take the paper off, and the book will be printed. After the pages are printed, they are bound into a book, and the book is successfully printed.
At this time, even the most stupid person can see that this printing method is a hundred times faster than manual copying, and I am afraid that it is more than that!
The method of printing books is not only faster than manual transcription, but also can be unified in style, as long as there are no mistakes in the engraving plate, it can avoid omissions, mistakes, untidy handwriting and many other shortcomings, in short, this printing technique is simply perfect for textbooks.
"Wonderful, my lord's idea, it's really too subtle!" Thinking of this, Xiao He and the others were simply shocked by Li Yang!
Although the technique of engraving the contents of a book and then printing it is very simple and even easy to understand, the problem is that others simply can't think of it.
Before that, who would have thought that the way of seals could be used to make engraving and printing books?
In short, no one in the world had ever thought of this printing method before that.
What is it called?
It's called ingenuity!
Only a person with the wisdom of heaven like the prime minister of China would come up with this method to print books quickly.
At this time, everyone admired Li Yang's intelligence and admiration.
Li You immediately patted his ass: "The adult is really talented, extremely smart, and his shot is extraordinary." It is only from a small seal that such an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping printing technique can be conceived, and this kind of outstanding wisdom is simply unprecedented, unparalleled, and people have to look up. This time to be fortunate to participate in such a great invention, it is really the honor of the lower officials' life, go home to burn incense and worship the ancestors, thank the ancestors for the accumulation of yin virtue! ”
Fusu, Xiao He and others also nodded: "So are we." ”
Li Yang waved his hand: "How many times have I said this, you must be low-key and humble!" ”
Everyone nodded hurriedly, with a teachable look, and they all sighed in their hearts, the prime minister is humble, and no one in the world can compare with him!
