The ministers were already a little stunned, they didn't seem to expect that there were such strange things in the world, they looked at Ma Jun's eyes, it was also extremely complicated, I really don't know how he made this thing, facing everyone's eyes, Ma Jun was unmoved, the ministers didn't look down on him very much, he also knew it in his heart, looking at the silence of the ministers, Liu Bei suddenly got up and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Congratulations to Your Majesty!! ”

"Oh??"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with this thing, books are no longer difficult in the local government school, and there are more opportunities for scholars in the world to be able to read. When the Son of Heaven heard this, he also laughed, nodded, and said; I also think that this thing is of great use, and the wind of the world will rise because of me!! ”

The ministers bowed, the Son of Heaven waved his hand and asked everyone to get up, the Son of Heaven looked at Ma Jun and said: "I have always reused Ma Qing and entrusted me with important tasks, but the ministers of the temple have a lot of displeasure, and they will be criticized by Ma Gong as a craftsman, as not equal, I have long had the meaning of words, I thought that you could introspect and change, but I didn't expect that now, some ministers in the country are still so stubborn and refuse to admit it!" ”

"From the copper and iron, to the clothes, to the frame, and even the palace where I am sitting now, the seat you are waiting to sit on, which is not a novelty?? Which one wasn't developed by a craftsman?? One by one, you eat the food cultivated by the people, but you curse the villagers for being stupid and enjoy the fruits of the craftsmen, but you want to scold the craftsmen for not entering the stream, and the doctors treat you, but you want to rank the doctors with the beggars..."

As the Son of Heaven spoke, he gradually became a little angry, and he said solemnly: "Shouldn't you treat a person according to his character? How can you look down on him because of his position? All the gentlemen have read through the books of the sages, and they should understand these truths, I am ready to canonize Ma Gong as a county marquis, and there will be heavy rewards for the craftsmen who participated in the research and development under his command, and my second prince, Liu Di, I am ready to let him enter the gate of Ma Gong and govern the way of research and development!! ”

"I've finished speaking, but anyone is against it??"

The ministers looked at each other, the meaning of the Son of Heaven, it seems that they want to continue to support the craftsmen, or to support the craftsmen on a large scale, although they still do not think that the craftsmen can be compared with these virtuous people, but they can't say words of opposition at all, for the Son of Heaven, they are still very afraid in their hearts, this Son of Heaven who has been in power for twenty-two years, is a violent temper, or don't provoke easily.

Seeing that no one objected, the Son of Heaven also issued his own edicts.

At the end of the court, the ministers walked on the road, their faces were a little worried, when today, although the emperor is worse than the filial piety, he can still be counted as a Ming monarch, but unfortunately, he is too fond of these strange things, what new deals, reviews, craftsmen, always like to open up a new road, these ministers who have never walked on this road, do not know where the final point of this road is.

Whether it's good or bad, you can only leave it to fate.

In the court, the printing technology was formally put into the work, the first to start printing is the enlightenment textbook in the official school, this enlightenment textbook, is what He Zi wrote before, played a very important role in the Han Dynasty, those stories, it seems simple, but contains the awe of the Son of Heaven, the awe of the Mandate of Heaven, the various virtues needed to be a person, the children of the world are gradually growing up under such education.

The Son of Heaven has always felt that the reason for the lack of rebellion over the years is that most of it is in this book, and the people know the truth of loyalty and patriotism, and naturally the rebellion will be reduced.

Extremely heroic style.

After a large number of printing enlightenment books, the official schools all over the country have obtained these books, speaking of which, the printing thing, or the huge loss, the use of the board is limited, it is a big problem, however, these problems still have to be handed over to Ma Jun to solve, Ma Jun as a master craftsman, and now he has been rewarded by the county marquis, the courtiers, no one dares to underestimate him, the craftsmen who have been rewarded are also very happy, and they are also very diligent in doing things, they all want to be rewarded again!

However, the temple did not reduce the printing speed because of the high cost, or continued to print, the enlightenment book continued to go to various regions, the temple first still wanted to solve the problem of official learning, and then take into account others, in such an efficiency, the young children all over the country are holding this unusual enlightenment book, some dazed to follow the sacrificial wine to learn, young them, completely do not know what it means, only those sacrificial wine, but tears.

At the end of the year, Ma Jun rushed to the Houde Hall again.

"Do you want to announce it with the world?? Why?? The Son of Heaven asked with some doubts, Ma Jun came this time, he actually wanted to announce the things he developed to the world, so that everyone in the world knew how to make them, in this regard, the Son of Heaven was a little puzzled, such a sharp weapon, how good it is in the hands of the temple, why should it be distributed to the people? ? Ma Jun looked at the Son of Heaven and said, "Actually, the main thing is the art of printing. ”

"Your Majesty, this technique has a great impact on the world, although the temple has been printing, but it is purposeful, unified printing, it is impossible to do everything, not to mention, today's machines, can not set up a separate official office for printing, in this case, it is better to inform the production principle to the people, let the world print at will, in this way, there will be more and more books, this is in line with Your Majesty's heart."

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he felt that what he said still had some truth, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Well, then just publish the art of printing, let them all learn, and allow them to print on their own, even if they will not spread the books after printing, but there are more books, it is also a good thing..."

Got the promise of the Son of Heaven, in the same month, Ma Jun personally rushed to Taixue, began to lecture, in the face of this upstart in Luoyang, the students were particularly curious, when Ma Jun went to the high platform, the surrounding students were talking about him casually, he gave the students the impression that it was too bad, just his clothes, if they didn't say their identity, they thought which beggar mixed into Taixue!!

In addition, Ma Jun is not so neat when he speaks, Ma Jun stuttered when he was a child, and he got better when he grew up, but when facing so many people, he still stutters from time to time, he still tries to tell how to print, but the students in the audience are gradually decreasing, most of them are boring and scattered, Ma Jun looked at the students in the audience, and said a little clumsily.

At this time, I saw someone outside the door making a noise, the students looked over, Ma Jun also stopped talking, only to see a group of people walking in from outside the gate, everyone knew each other, it was the prince Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff smiled and greeted everyone, walked to the place close to Ma Jun, bowed to Ma Jun, and then sat down, he came to listen to Ma Jun's lecture, there is the prince here, where will the students of Taixue disperse, many people who originally left, have come back again, gathered here.

There is a prince sitting below, for some reason, Ma Jun's uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, he started from the beginning, slowly told how to make it, the prince listened very excitedly, and even took out the pen and ink in the record, seeing the prince like this, everyone also followed suit, this is the prince, these young people, whether they can be reused in the future, all depend on the appreciation of this one, and in order to get his appreciation, they are willing to pay any price.

After Ma Jun finished speaking, he just bowed to the prince, and left here in a hurry, the prince slowly got up, walked onto the high platform, looked at the many students below, and said: "Gentlemen, I think that we should bow to Ma Gong... The technology made by Ma Gong can allow us to see more books, hidden deep in the palace, or privately stored in the library, through printing, everyone can see it.... The wind of the world will rise because of this, and the way of the saint will be far away, and Ma Gong is a character who can be called a son. ”

Ma Jun naturally didn't know what Liu Mastiff told in Taixue, but a few days later, when he rushed to Menzixue, he found that the situation had changed somewhat, and many students treated him with special respect, and even worshiped him, Ma Jun hurriedly asked them to get up, and when he told about printing, the entire high platform was already full of people, including sacrificial wine, they were all listening carefully, and they also took out pen and ink to record it.

Ma Jun was very happy to see such a scene, hurriedly finished speaking, politely refused everyone's retention, and left here.

After that, the manufacturing outline he wrote was also circulated, and for a while, the art of printing was also known to everyone, and all kinds of different books began to appear in Luoyang, and gradually, there were such situations everywhere, and some businessmen saw the profits, and began to print books and sell them.

The happiest thing is that these scholars, the scholars have been visiting these places all day long, the desire for books, the love of books, so that they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy these books, after printing, the books will definitely become more, and the collection of books is not as big as before, but it is not easy to change the habits they have developed, these scholars, when they hear that someone sells books, no matter what kind of book it is, they must buy it, even if they don't need it, it is also excellent to use it to pass it on.

Printing technology, in less than a year of appearance, has had a very huge impact on the Han Dynasty, books continue to appear, continue to circulate, at the end of the year, scholars are driven by carriages, to buy books, they buy books, fill a few cars, they are still extremely happy, grinning, such a huge profit, naturally let the merchants do not hesitate to invest all the family property, to print books.

For these merchants, the Son of Heaven surprisingly did not restrict, perhaps the Son of Heaven also felt that these people still played a role in the circulation of books, since they were useful, the restrictions should be put aside first, and after a large number of books were circulated, this kind of profiteering would not continue to exist.
