Chapter 0622 Xiping Printing
Ma Jun is very busy these days, and others don't know what he's busy with, only that after he pondered alone in the house for four or five days, he put aside the affairs of the mansion and started his own affairs wholeheartedly.
The ministers, who don't know what Ma Jun is busy with, have played the Son of Heaven, impeached Ma Jun, and demanded that this guy be punished, how can you, as a master craftsman, put aside state affairs and go about your own business? ? In this regard, the Son of Heaven also sent someone to inquire, but he couldn't even see Ma Jun's face, and in the entire Jiangzuo Mansion, the masters were very attentive to this matter, and they felt a little solemn, and no one wanted to be distracted.
Out of trust in Ma Jun, the Son of Heaven still did not punish him, or reprimand him, many impeachments, all of which were suppressed by the Son of Heaven, this situation lasted until February, Ma Junfang walked out of the room, his face was full of smiles, even if the whole person was already a little prostration, tired and couldn't open his eyes, but he was still very excited, he looked at the masters around him, and said with a smile: "Thank you gentlemen, after today, we will leave a name in history!" ”
The craftsmen were also very excited, congratulating Ma Jun on his achievements, looking at the tired people, Ma Jun called a few craftsmen, with some things, about to leave the Jiangzuo Mansion, the craftsmen hurriedly picked up things, these craftsmen who had not participated were also very strange, I don't know what Ma Jun they were busy with, followed Ma Jun walking, they didn't ask where to go, just saw Ma Jun's tired appearance, they were a little worried.
"Ma Gong, why don't you rest for a day and go tomorrow??" A craftsman asked, Ma Jun's eyes were red and swollen, he was a little staggering when he walked, the whole person had no strength, and it looked like he was going to fall down at any time, which really worried them, Ma Jun shook his head with a smile and asked, "Is there water?" The craftsman hurriedly took a scoop of water, Ma Jun bent down, took the water with both hands, and wiped it on his face, so that he had some energy, and then led everyone out of the mansion.
Leading everyone, Ma Jun walked all the way towards the palace, the craftsmen behind him also seemed to understand something, they all seemed a little excited, the group rushed to the gate of the palace, and was stopped by the guards, who looked at the crumbling Ma Jun in front of them a little strangely, they obviously also knew Ma Jun, and asked, "Ma Gong??" But do you want to see Your Majesty? Ma Jun nodded, and the soldiers hurriedly went to pay their respects.
It didn't take long for Han Men to come out, and when he saw the people behind Ma Jun and some utensils, Han Men asked with a smile, "Are these all to be brought in?" Ma Jun nodded and said, "You can go and tell Your Majesty again, maybe let me bring it in?" Han Men shook his head and said, "The country even let the crossbow be brought into the palace, what are these counts?" With that, he led Ma Jun into the palace.
Walking into the Hall of Houde, the Son of Heaven was sitting on the Hu chair, looking at the books, and when he saw Ma Jun coming in, he didn't get up, he waved his hand casually, and said: "Sit down, these days, you have caused me a lot of trouble, there are several boundaries under construction in Luoyang, but you are closed, if I hadn't been stopping, you would have been spending the night in the embroidery prison now!" The Son of Heaven said with some displeasure, and Ma Jun sat opposite him.
The Son of Heaven raised his head, looked at Ma Jun's tired appearance, and asked a little suspiciously, "What's the situation with you??" What are you doing?? Ma Jun's face was full of smiles, he took out a roll of paper and put it in front of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven took the paper, and there was a signature on the paper, it was Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Military Academy, who borrowed a repeating crossbow, but this handwriting doesn't look like Guan Yu's!
Guan Yu began to read a long time ago, practicing soldiers during the day, studying books at night, and now, he is literate and hyphenated, and the handwriting is also quite good, the Son of Heaven has seen several of his chapters on the training of soldiers, the handwriting is very good, and this ugly handwriting, no matter how you look at it, it reveals a strange demeanor, the Son of Heaven looked at the next paper with some doubts, the next paper, it is still the same content, the same handwriting, and even the spacing is the same.
The Son of Heaven was a little stunned, and hurriedly looked at several other papers, but found that all of them were like this, a total of more than forty papers, handwriting, spacing, exactly the same, but the pen was a little strange, the Son of Heaven was stunned, he looked at Ma Jun in front of him, and asked, "How did this work??" Ma Jun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you remember when I was young, I often played with the dirt and was teased by Your Majesty??" ”
The Son of Heaven recalled for a moment before he woke up, nodded, and said, "Remember, but how did you do it??" ”
"Your Majesty, since I was a child, I have always had such an idea, I thought about using mud, burning the mud into pottery, dyed with ink, but in this way, the final printed handwriting is the opposite, in recent days, I saw a camp tent, I saw the protruding handwriting on it, suddenly I had an inspiration, I dipped ink on it, pressed it on the paper, if it can really leave the handwriting, but it is the opposite..."
The minister pondered in the house, improved, made a seal with the opposite handwriting, and again dipped it in ink, stamped it, and sure enough, this time got the same font... The minister was very pleased, called all the craftsmen, and began to get busy, we made a machine, so that the craftsmen carved the font on the board, dipped in ink, and pressed it on the paper with a machine, and finally got the same word, and I kept using it, and it was probably more than forty prints before the tablet was broken..."
Ma Jun said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if you use this thing, print the books in the library, print thousands of articles, and distribute them to the officials and schools in various places...", Ma Junzheng said, the Son of Heaven had already stood up, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, as the Son of Heaven, he naturally saw the great use of this thing, the problem of books has always been the most headache for the Son of Heaven, and the books are hidden in the hands of the family and cannot be passed on.
Ordinary people don't have access to these books.
In order to solve this problem, Emperor Xiaokang set up a library, borrowed the books in the hands of the family, and copied them in the library, but the copying was really laborious, until now, the temple is still trapped with the problem of books, and the official schools in various places are also seriously short of books, which makes the Hanmen limited, to be precise, between the Hanmen and the family, the difference is only a few books, and when the heirs of the family are reading books at home, the children of the Hanmen do not know how to write their names!!
If what Ma Jun said could come true, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but think that an unprecedented cultural prosperity seemed to appear in his hands, which made the Son of Heaven tremble all over, and couldn't help asking, "You might show me??" Ma Jun nodded, and immediately took the Son of Heaven to the outside of the Houde Palace, a group of craftsmen visited one after another, the Son of Heaven treated these people very gently, smiled and asked them to get up, and Ma Jun took them to get busy.
According to Ma Jun's request, they put a carved board in the machine, and put the paper, with a sound, Ma Jun pulled out the paper, the paper was already engraved with words, the Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing, the craftsmen were a little excited, although they did not participate in this matter, but this is the honor of the government, naturally it is inseparable from them, Ma Jun smiled, asked: "Your Majesty is still satisfied??" ”
"Of course satisfied, of course satisfied!! The weapon of the country, nothing more than this!! ”
The Son of Heaven said, his eyes were full of excitement, he was happier than Ma Jun, this weapon of the country, thinking about the thousands of books spread in the world in the future, everyone can hold the book to read, the virtuous and talented, the Han Dynasty is prosperous, he can't help but want to laugh, this kind of temptation, for this Son of Heaven who wants to make an immortal reputation, is really too big, the Son of Heaven asked excitedly: "When will you start printing books??" ”
Ma Jun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you can't be in a hurry, there are still many deficiencies in this thing, first of all, the number of times he uses it is too small, and it will be destroyed after a few uses, and there is too much time spent on carving, and the minister has to go back to improve it, and only after it is perfected, can he start printing a large number of books, the minister feels that there is still a lot of room for improvement, and when the minister finishes improving, he will come to see His Majesty..."
"These days, I have been busy with this matter, neglecting state affairs, but fortunately, with the love of His Majesty, I did not spend the night in the embroidery prison... In the next few days, the minister may still be busy, I don't know how much time, I hope Your Majesty understands...", the Son of Heaven shook his head and said: "You don't have to pay attention to these things, just do your business, this matter is the most important, rest assured, no one dares to impeach you anymore!! You just have to get busy!! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I'll go back..."Ma Jun just spoke, but inexplicably felt a sense of dizziness, he had not closed his eyes for several days, and now he was extremely tired, there was a sudden roar in his ears, he looked around, the whole world seemed to be shaking, the son of heaven in front of him seemed to be saying something, but what he was saying, Ma Jun couldn't hear it at all, Ma Jun only felt muddy, the sky and the earth were spinning, and his eyes were dark, and he fell.
"Ma Jun? Ma Jun?? The Son of Heaven looked at Ma Jun in front of him, asked suspiciously, and saw Ma Jun fall to the side, the Son of Heaven hurriedly stretched out his hand and caught Ma Jun directly, the craftsmen were a little flustered, and the Son of Heaven was even more so, he directly picked up Ma Jun, without any difficulty, and ran towards the Houde Hall with Ma Jun on his shoulders, entered the hall, put Ma Jun on the couch, and shouted: "Quickly call the imperial doctor's order!! ”
The Imperial Physician Order arrived quickly, and the Imperial Physician Ling thought that there was something wrong with His Majesty, but he was frightened, but fortunately, it was not His Majesty who had an accident, and the Imperial Physician Ling helped Ma Jun to investigate, and then said: "Your Majesty, it's okay, it's just overworked, just take a little rest, and you have to eat some hot food...", Hearing the words of the Imperial Physician Order, the Son of Heaven hurriedly asked Huangmen to be busy, and did not let anyone move Ma Jun, and directly let him rest in the Houde Palace.
"The country, in this Hall of Virtue, except for the Son of Heaven, the rest of the people cannot rest and stay overnight... Why don't the servants ask someone to move Ma Gong back to his mansion?? Han Men asked cautiously.
"It's okay, just let him rest... Don't bother him. ”
