Chapter 41: Your Highness, What Is This Mass of Black?

In the end, Lu Bu and Zhu Youxiao were friendly and harmonious together.

Zhu Youxiao was carving words next to him, Lu Bu was lying on the ground copying the book, the two sides looked very harmonious, only Lu Bu kept chattering: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky!" ”

Lu Bu's two dark circles were definitely not beaten out, they were just caused by Lu Bu not sleeping well last night, and Zhu Youxiao's sour fist was not beaten by Lu Bu, but because he accidentally hit something hard just now.

Yu Zhiqian was constantly thinking about how to improve this printing technique, which is so simple that the ancients would not have studied it or understood it.

"Mansan, do you know about printing?"

Shen Wansan thought for a while and nodded: "Your Highness, know a little!" ”

"Then why do you think these craftsmen can't think of disassembling these characters and reassembling them, so that they can be reused?" Yu Zhiqian said as he casually opened a book that Lao Qi gave him.

What did an ancient book look like? Most books have a lump of ink in it, which is the kind of ghost drawing that makes a typo and then draws an X on it, just like the correction word we used to find typos when we were kids.

There is no way, it is all one edition at a time, a word error, you have to re-engrave a edition, the cost is too high, so you have to directly draw a fork and re-engrave, such a book will be printed and sold at a cheaper price, even so, the price of the book is also very high.

"Your Highness, these craftsmen are definitely inferior to you, you are bright and majestic, smart and witty, and the whole ......"

Shen Wansan casually praised Yu Zhiqian's series of sycophants, not to mention anything else, just said that Shen Wansan's kung fu has been getting better and better recently, and Yu Zhiqian was very comfortable listening to it.

"Of course, okay, Wansan, go and prepare some food, everyone has worked hard!"

"Whoa!" The speed of the craftsman was very fast, and in about half an hour, he completed Yu Zhiqian's task and sent small pieces of words to Yu Zhiqian.

"Well, that's good!"

Yu Zhiqian looked at these small characters with some satisfaction, not to mention, the craftsmanship of this group of craftsmen in ancient times, there is really nothing to say, although the instrument is not too close, but the carved words are almost the same size.

"Zhu Youxiao, you're looking for a few small wooden boards that can roughly clip into both sides, no problem!"

Zhu Youxiao measured it with his fingers and nodded: "Your Highness, there is no problem!" ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately picked up a piece of leftover material on the side, divided it by two, and quickly dug out a few very small wooden boards and handed them to Yu Zhiqian.

Yu Zhiqian tried it, and it was just right to clip into the edge of these words, but it was a little wider, but it was harmless.

"Come, it's time to witness the miracle!"

Yu Zhiqian said as he turned the arranged words upside down and glued the ink, and then waited for the ink to dry for a while, and then took it to a piece of paper, although there were still ink dripping, but this kind of detail didn't care.

"Look!"

Yu Zhiqian took a deep breath and pressed the words on the paper, and after about ten seconds, Yu Zhiqian slowly raised his hand, revealing the handwriting underneath.

"Forehead ......"

β€œοΏ£β–‘οΏ£ο½œο½œβ€

A group of people looked at the words on the paper and fell into deep thought, and all of them did not recognize what the words on it were, it was a black mess.

"What kind of wood is this?"

"Your Highness, Matsuki!"

"Pine, pine is not suitable, replace it with a kind of wood!"

Yu Zhiqian waved his hand, staring at the content of the lump on the paper to find a perfect explanation for himself, it should not be his own problem, but this wood is not good, it will be much better to change a kind of wood, it must be like this, failure is the mother of success, and he will be able to succeed next time!

"Your Highness, hardwood is generally used for printing, and the wood needs to be treated, and it needs to be roasted in the fire cellar to ...... the moisture in the wood."

Zhu Youxiao saw Yu Zhiqian's embarrassment, and reminded Yu Zhiqian in Yu Zhiqian's ear in a low voice.

"Is it so troublesome?"

"Yes, Your Highness, many times the printed engraving will crack when it passes through the water and need to be re-engraved......"

"Uh, is it that complicated? What kind of wood is used for general carving? ”

"Your Highness generally uses elm!"

"Elm?"

"Do I have elm here?"

"Nope!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Yu Zhiqian touched his head with some embarrassment: "Is there any hardwood there?" ”

"Yes, mahogany and rosewood!"

"Well, I want to test a few more kinds of wood, well, in this way, Shen Wansan, you take Zhu Youxiao to get some wood, and then Zhu Youxiao, these things will be handed over to you, carve them, and after the fire, send them up!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"What about me, Your Highness?"

Lu Bu raised his head a little confused, he was dizzy when he copied the book, and his hands were still a little sore, he found that after following the prince, there seemed to be nothing good.

"Keep copying, there are still a few books here, I've finished copying them in the past two days!"

"Ahh

"Comments?"

"Nope!"

"Alright, let's get busy!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he returned to his study and let out a long sigh, he was really too naΓ―ve, at first he thought that the ancients' heads would not turn, and such a simple thing would not, but when he studied it carefully, he found that there were still many twists and turns in printing.

Not all wood can be used as an engraving plate, and there are many twists and turns in the middle, such as what Zhu Youxiao said just now, Yu Zhiqian didn't know before, thinking that printing is to carve words on wood, and then add ink!

"Hey, I'm a modern person, how can I be stupider than the ancients, if it gets out, I may be laughed to death!"

Yu Zhiqian scratched his head a little helplessly, he seemed to be really a little bit of a nothing, and he hadn't achieved any success until now, as if he had failed to do anything! I almost lost my underwear when I opened a buffet, and now I am engaged in printing, and it is estimated that I will post a lot of money!

"It's too hard, isn't it? Why is this happening, why, why, I really want to go back to modern times, I miss Baidu, Google, UC! ”

Yu Zhiqian stared blankly at the roof, why, why could other traversers study this thing so easily, make that thing, and it became so difficult to get here? Perception told Yu Zhiqian that he might also fail this time, there was no reason, it was a kind of perception!

"Your Highness, the queen will let you enter the palace!"

Just when Yu Zhiqian was in a daze and doubted his life, a guard hurriedly ran in, and after Yu Zhiqian heard it, he frowned, his wife was looking for himself?

His own wife, Yu Zhiqian's impression is still okay, Yu Zhiqian swears that he has never seen such a graceful and luxurious woman before, Yu Zhiqian didn't dare to speak loudly in front of her, Yu Zhiqian dared to talk to his cheap daddy, but in front of the queen, he basically said what was and didn't dare to refute.

"Who passed it on?"

"It's a maid in the palace!"

"Got it, I'll go right away!"

Yu Zhiqian didn't know why his mother was looking for him, but he didn't dare to slack off, and after changing his clothes, he hurried towards the palace.

"Your Highness!"

The person who came was the personal maid next to his mother, the name Yu Zhiqian didn't know, he only knew that it was called peach, a very vulgar name, but it was a celebrity next to his mother, basically every time he visited his mother, she was waiting beside her.

"Well, lead the way, right?"

"Yes!"

There was nothing to say all the way, and Yu Zhiqian didn't plan to ask anything from Taohong's mouth, people who can mix well in the palace have very strict mouths, which is the most important rule of survival in the palace.

After following the peach into the palace, I went around half a circle and came to a small garden not far from the Taiye Pond, where there are patches of peonies, and peonies are also his favorite flowers behind the scenes.

"Queen Mother!"

After seeing the queen, Yu Zhiqian made a proper salute, without any rudeness, lowered his head, and waited for his mother to make a decree.

"Come and sit down, Qian'er!"

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

Yu Zhiqian walked to the side and sat down, a little apprehensive in his heart, did he do something and be known by his mother?

After thinking carefully for a while, Yu Zhiqian found that he didn't seem to have done anything angry and resentful, and he was honest recently.

"Qian'er, I heard that you sent Wu Jue into the cold palace?"

"Wu Jue?"

Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, his crown princess was beaten into the cold palace, and it turned out that his crown princess was called Wu Jue.

"Huh?"

"Queen Mother, there is indeed something to do!"

"Why?"

The queen turned her head slightly and glanced at Yu Zhiqian.

"Queen Mother, Wu Jue, Wu Jue, Wu Jue is too fat!"

Yu Zhiqian held back for a long time, but still said the reason, it was indeed because he was too fat, three hundred pounds, crazy, Yu Zhiqian was worried that he would be crushed to death.

"Nonsense!"

The queen glared at Yu Zhiqian.

Yu Zhiqian was taken aback, his mother, who is usually dignified and elegant, gentle and generous, how could she suddenly be so angry with herself.

"Queen Mother's ......"

"It seems that you broke your brain last time while riding a horse, do you know why Wu Jue is so fat?"

Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, he really didn't remember many things before, could there be any hidden secrets?

"The queen mother, the son-in-law, the son-in-law, I don't seem to remember!"

The queen mother let out a long sigh, stared at Yu Zhiqian, and after making sure that Yu Zhiqian was not lying, she slowly spoke: "Qian'er, do you remember when you were eighteen years old, you accidentally fell into the water?" ”

"Huh?"

Yu Zhiqian still didn't have any impression in his mind, and looked at his queen mother with some incomprehensible eyes.

I saw Yu Zhiqian's mother gently pick up the teacup, take a sip gently, and then let out a long sigh.
