Chapter 160: Printing

"Taifu, you asked students to search for carvers, wouldn't it be just for printing?"

Hearing Li Yang say that he wanted to invent printing, Fusu was excited, and he had received the sweetness brought by papermaking, and Fusu had already been obsessed with invention.

Li Yang nodded: "Exactly." ”

As soon as he heard this, Fusu was overjoyed, so he had another credit for this printing technology!

So, he hurriedly asked: "Taifu, can the merits of printing be compared to papermaking?" ”

Before Li Yang could answer, Li You on the side said: "Papermaking skills are in the future, I'm afraid there is no more important invention in this world!" ”

Xiao He and the others also nodded, feeling the same way: "Your Majesty said that papermaking is the first great invention in the world, so it is impossible for any other invention to surpass it." ”

Fusu smiled, although he was a little proud in his heart, but he was a little disappointed, which means that this time the printing technology, his own credit will not be too big.

However, at this time, Li Yang nodded: "Actually, the printing technology that Benxiang wants to invent this time, it does not surpass papermaking for the merits of human civilization, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it has the same status as papermaking." ”

"Huh? And...... On the same level as papermaking! ”

When they heard this, everyone was really surprised.

Everyone looked at Li Yang as if they had seen a ghost, and they couldn't believe that this would be a mortal.

You know, papermaking is the supreme kind of existence.

The invention of papermaking shocked the entire Qin State and completely ended the history of people writing with bamboo slips.

Take the Chinese textbooks compiled by the Education Department as an example, if they are written with bamboo slips, then it is estimated that it will take several truckloads of bamboo slips to fit a Chinese textbook.

Let's ask, how can the content of a few cars of bamboo slips be used to promote compulsory education? It can't be implemented when it's done, because it's difficult to reach this number of bamboo slips in the making, a book doesn't need a few cars of bamboo slips, and the hundreds of thousands of books, how many cars of bamboo slips do you need? It's astronomical.

And now, it is because Li Yang invented paper that he can condense a lot of knowledge content into a paper-bound booklet, which Li Yang originally named: books.

It can be seen that papermaking has a profound significance for the dissemination of culture and knowledge.

For this reason, the emperor called that sealing papermaking is the world's first major invention, which can be seen.

And now, Li Yang actually said that his next invention will be on the same status as papermaking, can this not be shocking?

What kind of talent does this have to be to invent two earth-shattering inventions in a row?

Anyway, Xiao He didn't dare to imagine it.

At that moment, Xiao He exclaimed: "My lord, you didn't lie to us? ”

Li Yang rolled his eyes and was unhappy: "It's just a small invention like papermaking, why should I lie to you." ”

Ga!

Everyone's jaws fell to the ground.

It's the same small ...... as papermaking Gizmos?

Evil, the world's largest invention of papermaking, is just a small invention worth mentioning in the eyes of the prime minister, why is the gap between this person and people so big?

Suddenly, everyone felt like they had eaten flies, and they had a strong sense of inferiority.

I wanted to say a few words, but in the end I was speechless.

There's no way, the gap with the prime minister is too big, and I can't talk at all.

In the end, I had to praise in unison: "Adults are awesome!" ”

"............" Li Yang had a black line on his face.

It seems that the word "awesome" should not have been invented in the first place, and now it has brought these ancient people badly, and they don't look like civilized people at all. What's even more speechless is that these people actually use the word "awesome" as a word of praise and praise, describing a very, very powerful and amazing meaning.

Of course, it is fortunate that there are no outsiders, otherwise when others hear Li Yang say that papermaking is a small invention, they must say that Li Yang is pretending.

However, for the few people around Li Yang, they were not too suspicious of Li Yang's talent.

Especially Li You, Fusu, and even Zhang Cang, they all firmly believe that Li Yang has immortal talents.

In their opinion, Li Yang's words are amazing, and he sounds arrogant and arrogant, but in fact, this is not pretending, but as Li You said before, in fact, Prime Minister Zhong also wants to keep a low profile, but his strength does not allow it.

For example, if you do something that is easy for you, and when others praise you, don't you say a small thing for the sake of humility, which is not worth mentioning?

As for the prime minister, he said that papermaking is trivial and not worth mentioning, but it is actually modest.

Well, it seems that the prime minister is too powerful, and he is too modest, so he is misunderstood by the world as arrogant.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little aggrieved for Li Yang in their hearts.

And Li Yang, how would he know that these people would have so much drama in their hearts?

In his opinion, the main reason why papermaking and printing are small inventions is that they are too easy to make.

However, Li Yang has no doubts about the status of printing.

Printing can be said to be a great gift to the development of mankind. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has the same status as papermaking.

Chinese printing is also an important component of Chinese culture; It sprouts with the birth of Chinese culture, evolves with the development of Chinese culture, and affects the development of society and culture.

It is the invention of printing that has promoted the spread of writing and the activity of culture, and the culture is colorful, and it has also promoted the growth of the scholar class, so that China's traditional culture can be spread and preserved. In the mass production of printed copies, knowledge and culture finally began to spread to the lower classes of society.

Therefore, the invention of printing is a glorious chapter in the history of human civilization.

It is precisely because he knows the role and significance of printing that for Li Yang, when he first invented papermaking, he had already thought about inventing printing as soon as possible.

And this time, in order to promote compulsory education, it is just the opportunity to bring about this.

As long as the printing press is invented, this will not only speed up the implementation of compulsory education, but also be the basis for the implementation of the imperial examination system in the future.

Why are many ancient kingdoms gone when they have perished?

To put it bluntly, it is because they do not have their own written and cultural heritage.

Although the Chinese nation has also experienced countless divisions and mergers, changes of dynasties, and even being ruled by foreign peoples, the Chinese nation has continued for thousands of years without extinction, and China is still a country belonging to the Chinese nation.

Why?

The reason is that China has had its own writing and culture since ancient times, and this kind of writing and culture has long been deeply planted in the hearts of the Chinese people. We re-establish a new China, and as long as the written word and culture are not extinguished, it will still be China.

The Yuan and Qing ruled China, and so on? As long as your writing and culture are not as strong as the Chinese culture, eventually these foreign races will be integrated into the Chinese culture and become a part of China.

This is the importance of writing and culture, which is an important reason why the Chinese nation has stood tall for thousands of years.

Therefore, in Li Yang's view, Great Qin can perish, but the inheritance of Chinese culture cannot be interrupted, and writing and culture must be developed, strong, and strong!

"Taifu, do you have a name for printing? Otherwise, let's call him Yang Suzhang Printing! What do you think? ”

Fusu thought that printing had the same supremacy as papermaking, and his eyes lit up at that time, and he was about to be written into history again this time, so he asked excitedly.

When Li Yang heard this, he was not happy, and said: "No, I have to join you this time, and I will call Yang Su Zhangyou Printing." ”

Li Yang almost vomited blood when he heard the conversation between the two!

Nima, do you want to be so cheap?
