Chapter 160 Printing technology was successfully developed

In this era, books were written, because most of them used bamboo slips to record words, and they were all carved with knives.

It wasn't until Xu Ding's snowflake paper came out that there was a large-scale paper application.

Therefore, Cai Yan has been hand-copied in recent years, including the major families who bought Donglai snowflake paper and Donglai Academy.

All of them were copied by hand.

So naturally, no one thought about how quickly they could print out the book.

The real printing technology probably only existed in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a preliminary engraving and printing, which was also expensive and troublesome, and only the big clans could afford it.

As a later generation, of course, Xu Ding will not use this method, but will use the simplest movable type printing.

So he leaned into Cai Yan's ear and whispered: "Madam, just now I thought of your hard work by hand, and suddenly I had an inspiration, you said that if we use paper to rub it on the engraved tablet, will we be able to print a partial article on paper soon." ”

Rubbing, at present, the Han Dynasty does not exist, because it is still the fault of paper, there is no paper, who is idle and can think of rubbing.

Cai Yan was so smart, he was suddenly happy, and his eyes lit up.

Husband is so smart that he can think of this.

So he nodded and praised: "Husband, although I haven't wiped it, but Yan'er thinks about it, it should be feasible." ”

Of course it is feasible, Xu Ding said with a smile: "Then you said that since rubbing is feasible, we will make all the words into a single pottery body, and then arrange them according to the content of the article, ink on the paper, rubbing on the paper, is it possible to rub any article we want." ”

Cai Yan was shocked.

Look at Xu Ding's eyes with holy light.

What kind of husband did he marry, and how could he think of such a good way.

Is my husband a demon?

It was a complete surprise, and I was so excited that I couldn't help it.

Cai Yan closed his eyes and imagined it, and found that it was also completely feasible.

Once this is done, it is not simple and convenient to print paper into a book, the efficiency is really more than 100 times, and there are many wonderful uses, it is really time-saving, trouble-saving, labor-saving, and can prevent copying errors and leaks.

"Husband, you're really amazing." is worthy of his husband, worthy of the husband who invented snowflake paper, and really has a peculiar idea.

"Amazing, shouldn't Yan'er reward me, my husband has helped you solve a big problem this time." Xu Ding smiled evilly, it was self-evident what he wanted to do.

Cai Yan sneered, glanced at him and said shyly: "Husband, what reward do you want, Yan'er doesn't have any treasures here, and Yan'er can't take anything to reward Fujun." ”

The sample is also loaded.

"Really? Since the lady has no reward for rare treasures, it is better to taste the meat. After speaking, Xu Ding pounced on Cai Yan, and a certain woman shouted softly, but did not resist, and quickly cooperated and applauded for love.

"Sister Linglong, it seems that Gongzi is going to stay with Sister Cai, and today you are going to stay alone in the empty room." Diao Chan saw that Xu Ding hadn't come out of Cai Yan's room for a long time, and laughed and joked about Bian Linglong.

Bian Linglong said angrily: "Okay, you Diao Chan, you dare to tease me, and I will let my husband take you in tomorrow and clean up your little prodigal hoof."

Saying that, Bian Linglong grabbed both hands and pounced on Diao Chan, hitting her chest with one hand and scratching her ribs with the other.

"Don't! Sister Linglong let me go, and I don't dare to do it. Diao Chan was shy and hurriedly hiding, her heart was like a deer, and she was infinitely looking forward to that tall and handsome figure that could lead him into the happy room.

A night of indulgence, boundless happiness.

When he got up the next day, Cai Yan pulled the clay that Xu Ding wanted to engrave.

Although Cai Yan understood what Xu Ding meant, it was better for Xu Ding to personally instruct this kind of thing.

"Yan'er, this matter is not in a hurry, take your time!" Xu Ding's movable type printing is only theoretical, and many things need to be constantly explored in reality, knowing that it will not be possible to get this thing for a while, so it is very talkative.

Cai Yan said eagerly: "Husband, how can such a big event take your time, if it weren't for the fact that my husband tossed for half a night last night, I would have wanted to get this thing out a long time ago, and I really wanted to see the formed thing as soon as possible." ”

Although Cai Yan is anxious, she is still inevitably shy when she mentions last night.

Xu Ding smirked smugly.

All the bullets stored in this expedition were poured on Cai Yan, which was naturally very comfortable.

"Okay, don't laugh, I'm laughing at you." Cai Yan turned away with an angry look, pretending to be angry.

Xu Ding hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, good, Mrs. has an order, just do it for her husband." ”

So Xu Ding and Cai Yan went to Donglai Academy, found Cai Yan and Zheng Xuan first, and talked about the wonderful use of Huoding printing.

Cai Yong stood up happily, and Zheng Xuan pinched off a beard, although it hurt, it was all covered by joy and excitement.

Once this is done, it will be a sensational event that subverts the cultural and educational undertakings.

So Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan took the pen to write each commonly used Chinese character on a piece of paper, and both of them used block letters.

It was used for clay sculptors to carve.

Xu Ding took Cai Yan to recruit the best masons in Donglai and let them make clay.

First of all, according to the specified requirements to find suitable clay raw materials, and then continue to experiment and fire engraved clay.

After several days of experimentation, we finally found the right soil, and matched the best recipe and heat, and finally fired a non-cracking pottery with characters.

The experiment was successful, and Xu Ding rewarded these masons at the moment, and assigned them people to make pottery characters in the block script written by Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan.

After another ten days, five sets of pottery characters containing all the Chinese characters were finally fired.

Arrange the twenty characters in turn, put on the ink, then put a clean snowflake paper, gently brush it with a brush, and remove the paper.

"I understand the light before the bed, and it is suspected that it is frost on the ground.

Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”

A song "Silent Night Thoughts" was printed unmistakably.

"Good! It's very good, it's really clear, and with this thing, you don't have to worry about making books in the future. Cai Yong nodded in praise.

If Xu Ding invented snowflake paper before, it is to simplify the complex, reduce the complexity and cumbersomeness of recording knowledge, and collect thousands of books in one book, making outstanding contributions to the scholars.

Then this printing technology is to save more costs, make books cheaper, and really benefit ordinary people.

The two measures have truly brought knowledge to everyone, and I believe that in the near future, the entire Han will be all readers.

Educating the world is a great success.

The prosperous era is coming!

An indescribable ambition and excitement filled Cai Yong's chest, and he couldn't wait.

"This poem is not bad, what is the name of this poem?" Zheng Xuan stared at the twenty words on it, scrutinizing it repeatedly.

I have to admit that it is an extremely simple and ordinary poem, but it is very appreciative and reverie.

Xu Ding smiled maliciously and said: "Gong Zheng, the name of this poem is called "Silent Night Wet", there are two artistic conceptions, I don't know if you can see it?" ”

"Silent night thoughts, good silent night thoughts." Zheng Xuan stroked his beard, and then pondered.

Two moods, does this poem have two moods?

After thinking for a while, he didn't have any thoughts, but when he saw Xu Ding's obscene smile, he suddenly had an epiphany, and the next moment his old face turned red, and his right hand shook and pinched off a beard.
