The Royal Palace, the Secretarial Province, the Central Hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit hot and noisy, the officials kept talking to each other, and at the same time carefully hand-copying the fables, Wei Zheng kept pacing back and forth to see if they had made any mistakes.

On the other hand, where Li Yi was outside the hall, it was the opposite of the atmosphere in the hall, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Occasionally, I can only vaguely hear the sound of craftsmen carving and polishing bamboo slips.

Li Yi quietly watched the craftsmen carving, they raised their hands from time to time to wipe the stains on their foreheads, but the carving was extremely serious.

"Carving is really an artistic work that requires hard work!" Li Yi sighed secretly in his heart.

Half an hour later, with the help of a group of craftsmen, the first engraving plate was finally made.

However, this simple printing board is carved from bamboo slips.

"Li Micheng, please take a look." Zhao Jixiang, the craftsman at the head, hurriedly stroked the Han stains on his forehead with his sleeve, and then used another sleeve to gently wipe the scraps on the bamboo slips, and then blew it gently, like treating his own lady, he carefully presented the finished engraving and printing board to Li Yi with both hands.

Seeing the carefulness and difficulty of these craftsmen, while taking it easily, Li Yi nodded with a smile and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work, masters." ”

"Li Micheng, what are you talking about?" Zhao Jixiang looked honest and honest, and replied with a smile, "These...... It's all what villains should do, and I hope it won't live up to Li Micheng's trust. ”

Li Yi nodded, and didn't continue to say anything to him, seeing that he was so satisfied, he seemed to have full confidence in this engraving and printing board.

"Someone!" Li Yi immediately instructed the officials around him to go to the palace to find a clean white piece of paper, and then began to ink and rub it.

At this moment, not only a group of craftsmen and masters, but also all stared intently at Li Yi's rubbing movements, and even Huang Ruiwei, the guard who had been waiting on the side, couldn't help but suppress his heartbeat, and his fists clenched slightly.

"It must be successful! Li Micheng will definitely succeed! Huang Ruiwei kept cheering softly in his heart, and his fists moved slightly up and down.

At this time, Huang Ruiwei's heart suddenly understood, and he knew the true intention of Li Yi ordering him to find bamboo slips and craftsmen together.

Therefore, he is also looking forward to it, hoping that Li Yi can succeed in one fell swoop, and he will not delay these efforts in vain.

At this time, not to mention that they were nervous, even Li Yi himself felt that he was a little nervous, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

After all, this is the first time that Li Yi has been able to witness with his own eyes that the rubbing technique invented by his ancestors has been given room in his hands.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on this!"

Li Yi took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then he decisively took the white paper from Zhang Lishuai's hand, covered it with a rubbing bamboo slip, and then used the bamboo stick that had been prepared on the side to gently press it on the paper.

Seeing that the results of their hard work for half an hour were about to be witnessed with their own eyes, the craftsmen standing on the side, as well as Huang Ruiwei and others, couldn't help but approach in unison.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yituoyin's movements, and they were reluctant to blink even their eyelids.

I am afraid that if they are not careful, they will miss the opportunity to "witness this scene with their own eyes".

As Li Yi carefully began to rub the print, a piece of black handwriting slowly appeared on the original pure and flawless blank paper, and began to appear one by one.

And this time, the handwriting on the paper is obviously much brighter than the rubbing plate used before.

"It seems to be a play...... while secretly rejoicing in his heart, Li Yi forcibly suppressed the ecstasy and excitement in his heart.

After the entire rubbing process was completed, Li Yi lightly picked up the rubbed paper from the bamboo slip, turned it over, and Li Yi found that the handwriting on the rubbing paper was just like a handwritten by a real person, and it was miraculously similar!

Moreover, this rubbing, not only the ink on the bamboo slip engraving plate is very thorough, very sufficient, and even ...... Even the handwriting is very clear!

Compared with the things rubbed out of the old engraving printing board before, there is a world of difference between them and a world of heaven and earth!

"Isn't it, such good luck that it succeeded in the first attempt?" Li Yi stared at the paper in his hand in disbelief, blinking, slightly stunned.

The sudden success of this scene made Li Yi a little surprised and surprised.

He was ready to fail this time.

But people are not as good as heaven, he actually succeeded in one fell swoop!

Before Li Yi had time to be happy, the craftsmen around him, as well as Huang Ruiwei and others, saw that Li Yi had succeeded in rubbing for the first time, and they were already so excited that they applauded on the spot.

The sound of cheers and ecstasy, almost instantaneously, overshadowed the sound of 'exchange' in the central hall.

"It worked!"

"We really succeeded!"

"And it's all once!"

"Li Micheng is really powerful......"

Zhang Lishuai, the secretary and provincial official who had been waiting by Li Yi's side and helping to help, but when he saw the handwriting printed on this bamboo slip, the effect of the first rubbing was so clear, he was so happy that he immediately turned around and hurriedly ran towards the hall.

While running frantically, he was not afraid of whether he would fall, and at the same time, he kept shouting at the hall with joy: "Wei Xianggong, it's done!" Li Micheng's rubbing was successful! Succeeded......"

……

Secretary of the province, inside the central hall.

Wei Zheng, who was patrolling back and forth in the hall, had just pointed out the mistake of one of them, when he suddenly heard a burst of ecstasy outside the central hall, followed by Zhang Lishuai's shouting one after another, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

"The court is important, what kind of system is it that makes a lot of noise?" muttered to himself in his heart, Wei Zheng was about to go out to see what kind of fame Li Yi was doing outside, and how he was shocked.

But at this time, Zhang Lishuai, who had already come from outside the hall to report, came to stand at the door of the central hall, and the moment he saw Wei Zheng, Zhang Lishuai's footsteps stood still.

"Wei Xianggong, it's done! Li Micheng's rubbing was successful!! ”

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to ask, Zhang Lishuai took the lead in shouting with joy, although at this moment, he was still panting for a while, but Zhang Lishuai's cheeks were a festive color of eyebrows dancing.

"It's done? What became of it? You repeat! Wei Zheng thought that his own ears had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but immediately ask Zhang Lishuai again.

"Rubbing! The rubbing was successful, Wei Xianggong! Zhang Lishuai seemed to be trembling and electrocuted, nodding his head frantically and continuously, and his voice was extremely ecstatic, "In the future, we don't need to copy it by hand, Li Micheng has successfully rubbed it!" ”

"This time, not only is the paper very deep, but the rubbed handwriting is almost like a real person's handcopy!"

"Wei Xianggong, hurry up and go out and have a look!"

Zhang Lishuai was so overjoyed that he forgot his identity for a while, and kept urging Wei Zheng in a loud voice, and his heart and liver were beating so wildly that he almost jumped out.

"What, Li Micheng he...... He succeeded in rubbing?!! ”

At this moment, not only Wei Zheng's heart was shocked, and his eyebrows were shocked like knives, but even the other officials of the secretary province who were seriously transcribing, when they heard Zhang Lishuai's happy voice, they were also so frightened that they quickly stopped the fine brush in their hands, their eyes were like swords, and they looked straight at Zhang Lishuai.

"Wei Xianggong, hurry up and go out and take a look! Li Micheng ...... He really did it! Zhang Lishuai reminded happily again, and the joy in his heart seemed to be like a surging river, gushing out of his cheeks in an endless stream.

The smile on his cheek was as festive as a chrysanthemum.

"Let's go, the old man will go out and have a look!" But seeing that Zhang Lishuai was so excited that he got carried away, Wei Zheng immediately flicked his sleeves, and with a look of shock and disconfidence, he hurriedly walked out of the hall.

At the same time, all the officials in the central hall looked at each other, and they also followed out one after another with a burst of curiosity.

Even Changsun Chong, who had been idle, was so frightened that he stood up from his seat at this moment, followed closely behind Yu Shinan, and walked out of the central hall together.

"Let it go, let it all give way to the old man, hurry up and let the old man take a look, let the old man take a look!"

Wei Zheng, who had just been driven out of the Central Hall, immediately walked quickly to Li Yi's side, his eyes swept around like lightning, and when he saw the rubbing paper in Li Yi's hand, he couldn't help but snatch it.

But seeing that on the rubbing white paper, not only the handwriting is extremely clear, but also there is a style of 'Yu's calligraphy master', seeing that it is really as true as Zhang Lishuai said, Wei Zheng's eyes were stunned, and he almost didn't come back to his senses.

Wei Zheng couldn't believe that the engraving and printing technology that they originally regarded as waste materials had no achievements in the hands of their secretary province, but it didn't take long for Li Yi to put it to use!

Moreover, the rubbing-printed handwriting is as if it was copied by Yu Shinan himself!

It's so surprising and unbelievable!

If Wei Zheng hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes at this moment, he wouldn't have believed it anyway, this printing technique was actually alive!

"Li Sanlang, you ...... You hurry up and tell the old man, how did you do it? Wei Zheng, who recovered from the shock, immediately cast a curious glance at Li Yi.

At the same time, the gaze out of the corner of Wei Zheng's eyes also quickly swept around the side, as if he was searching for something.

Seeing Wei Zheng like this, Li Yi was also a little crying and laughing.

Before himself, he was also confused......

"Wei Xianggong, the reason why the previous engraving rubbing is not good for eating ink is not because there is a problem with the paper, but because there are some problems in the selection of the material of the engraving." picked up the bamboo slip carving and handed it to Wei Zheng, and pointed to the bamboo slip rubbing board that Wei Zheng was holding in his hand, Li Yi said slowly: "This bamboo slip ...... It is a bamboo slip specially used to transcribe books, so Xia Guan thinks that if it is used to make engraving, it should be the most suitable material! ”

After Wei Zheng heard this, his cheeks couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he said in surprise: "But the old man has also ordered someone to carve with bamboo slips before, why can't he achieve such an effect as you?" ”

"Wei Xianggong...... Have you ever tried it with bamboo slips before? Li Yi asked with a raised eyebrow in surprise.

"That's true!" Wei Zheng nodded seriously, the eyebrows on his cheeks wrinkled and wrinkled again, and when he looked carefully at the bamboo slip material, and then looked at the rubbed paper, he was puzzled for a while.

When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a dilemma in his heart.

But after hesitating for a moment, Li Yi suddenly asked, "Wei Xianggong, I don't know...... Can you take your rubbed bamboo slips and let people show them to the lower officials? ”

"No problem!" Wei Zheng nodded, and immediately threw a look at Zhang Lishuai, Zhang Lishuai immediately understood, turned around and went to take the rubbing bamboo slips made by Wei Zheng's order, and handed them to Li Yi.

Li Yi took it and looked at it carefully and carefully.

Soon, Li Yi vaguely discovered that although the gap between the two rubbings of bamboo slips does not seem to be obvious, the materials of the two are different.

The bamboo slip material selected by Wei Zheng is not as good as the bamboo slip material selected by Li Yi, which is one of them.

Moreover, the workmanship level of these two engraving fonts does not belong to the same level at all.

Although the rubbings of bamboo slips seem to be roughly the same, once they are carefully examined, Li Yi still finds subtle differences.

It's just that Li Yi is not very proficient in carving, and he feels that he can't understand the essence of it, so Li Yi put away Wei Zheng's bamboo slips, looked at Zhao Jixiang, the craftsman led by him, and asked out loud: "What's your name?" ”

"Villain Zhao Jixiang." Zhao Jixiang replied honestly, bowed his head slightly, and behaved very respectfully to Li Yi.

"Master Zhao, please help me see the difference between them, by the way, also tell a certain person, and a certain person also happens to learn by the way." Li Yi said with a smile, and at the same time handed the bamboo slip rubbing in his hand to Zhao Jixiang.

"Ahh

He suddenly felt an inexplicable flattery in his heart, and stood in place with his mouth open stupidly, stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head stupidly, not daring to reach out to pick up the bamboo slips handed by Li Yi.

After all, the identity of these craftsmen is very low in Datang.

Li Yi suddenly asked him to compare, and explained it to Li Yi and others by the way, but it made Zhao Jixiang's heart immediately rise with a sense of panic.

"Li Micheng, the villain knows that he is wrong, and he also asks Wei Xianggong and Li Micheng to spare the villain!" While being scared for a while, Zhao Jixiang retreated on the spot, ready to immediately kneel and kowtow to beg for mercy.

He knew that many of these officials had always been fond of robbing them of the success of their labor, and had not treated them as human beings.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Li Yi say this, Zhao Jixiang was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"......" Li Yi sighed angrily, stuffed the bamboo slip rubbing into Zhao Jixiang's hand, and said loudly, "I don't want to punish you, hurry up and take a look, and analyze it by the way." ”

Seeing that Li Yi really didn't look for him to be held accountable, but asked for advice very seriously, Zhao Jixiang's heart was surprised for a while, and at the same time, he was also slightly relieved.

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain will look at it, this will look at ......" Zhao Jixiang nodded like pecking rice, took the bamboo slip rubbing, and looked at it seriously.

The deacon's brother's dragon suit and another pro-Zhang Xuanting's dragon suit, there is a better position in the back, so I'll write it quickly, wait a minute
