Chapter 445: Movable Type Printing

Wei Zheng used to make Xiu's clairvoyance not very badly damaged.

About half an hour later, Qin Tian repaired it.

Wei Zheng didn't stay long after getting it, and entered the palace in a hurry.

offended Li Shimin, how could he do it if he didn't hurry up and make amends?

As a speech official, Wei Zheng naturally knew that if he wanted to live well, he had to add some blockages to Li Shimin from time to time, but this did not mean that he could not give Li Shimin face and dignity.

Wei Zheng left, and Qin Tian called Qin Wu and the others here.

"Go find some earth that you can burn."

Hearing that Qin Tian wanted soil, Qin Wu and the others were a little stunned, and they didn't understand what Qin Tian meant at all.

"Brother Tian, what did you say?"

"The kind of soil that can be fired into porcelain, hurry up and get me some." Qin Tian's tone intensified, Qin Wu was a little puzzled, and asked, "Brother Tian, what do you want these for?" ”

"Leave it alone, go get it for me."

Qin Wu sighed, and hurriedly went to find these soils, this thing, Chang'an is a lot, so soon Qin Wu got Qin Tian a full car.

After the soil came, Qin Tian began to polish it to remove the impurities in the soil, as long as the kind of very fine soil particles, the things that came out of this way would be smooth and beautiful.

After polishing in this way, it is mixed with water, and the mud is ready, followed by the mold, which is not big, just like the brush words written on paper.

These molds are then used to shape those clay balls, followed by carving.

The whole process is very complicated.

Qin Wu watched from the side, becoming more and more confused.

"Brother Tian, what are you going to do?"

"Movable type printing."

"What is this?"

Qin Tian pursed his lips: "Okay, you don't read either, it's useless to tell you this, you just wait next to you to help." ”

Qin Tian obviously didn't want to continue to explain, and Qin Wu could only respond.

After all the characters were engraved, Qin Tian cooled down overnight and began firing the next day.

These need to be grasped very accurately, but fortunately, Qin Tian can't be stopped.

When these things are fired, they can't be said to be pretty, but they look okay.

After placing these characters in order, applying ink, printing, and taking them down, the white paper is full of words, and it is very neat and beautiful.

Although Qin Wu didn't read much, he was also shocked to see that a piece of paper was printed with all the words as soon as he put it like this.

"Brother Tian, why are you so powerful, this is movable type printing?"

Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, this is movable type printing, don't be stunned, take out everything inside, let's do some more." ”

Qin Tian and Qin Wu were busy in the house for two days before they finally made a few living fonts, which contained all the words in the Four Books and Five Classics, which were relatively a lot.

After this is done, I will wait for Cheng Yanjin and them to get it.

After Cheng Yanjin and the others went back, they had already told their son about the situation.

Cheng Chumo and these people, because of copying the Four Books and Five Classics, they are about to be depressed in the past few days, Qin Huaiyu is a little better, although Qin Shubao taught him to practice martial arts, but he can also practice martial arts He can read more, so Qin Huaiyu can still copy patiently.

But even so, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but get excited after hearing the news that his eldest brother Qin Tian could let him out of the mansion.

------------------

The appointed time soon came, and Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others gathered together early in the morning and rushed to the Qinhou Mansion.

When they came, they began to inquire.

"Qin Tian, what about the Four Books and Five Classics you have written?"

In their opinion, Qin Tian may have helped their son write a thousand copies of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Hearing their questioning, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What is the concept of a thousand copies of the Four Books and Five Classics, how much paper does it cost him, Luoyang paper is expensive, and Chang'an's paper is not cheap, and he has to lose hundreds of dollars for thousands of copies of the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Nope."

When he heard it, Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment: "What are you kid playing with us?" ”

Qin Tian smiled bitterly: "That's tricking you, I didn't say at the beginning to help you write the Four Books and Five Classics, I have other ways, you go back and buy paper prints by yourself." ”

Saying that, Qin Tianming people brought out those movable characters, and Cheng Yanjin and the others couldn't help but feel a little angry when they saw that it was one piece of soil after another.

"Qin Tian, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Tian didn't bother to explain to them, and directly asked Qin Wu to interview them in front of them.

"Do you see it, go back and put these movable types in order, and just print them like this, much faster than you can copy, if you print them day and night, a few days will be enough."

Qin Tian said casually, but Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others were dumbfounded, just printed it like this, and there were words on the paper, this is also amazing, right?

Of course, they knew that the inscription on the jade seal was the same as this, but the words on the paper were obvious, and it was the same as what was written, which made them feel that it was not simple.

"Qin Tian, you kid is really amazing." Cheng Yanjin suddenly pounced on Qin Tian, and was about to hug him, but Qin Tian was suddenly disgusted and wanted to vomit, so he hurriedly dodged it.

"Alright, alright, that's all I can help, you can go back and print it quickly."

"Yes, yes, my little rabbit cub is about to get sick in the house, so I'll leave first." Cheng Yanjin picked up his share and left.

Although he also hoped that his son would study more in the house before, but a thousand copies of the Four Books and Five Classics are really a bit scary, what is the difference between letting his son not go out for a few years and putting him in prison?

So now he can't care about much, as long as he can help his son.

Cheng Yanjin left, Yu Chigong and the others hurriedly took their things and left, and the Qinhou Mansion quickly quieted down again.

"Alas, I can help, but others can't help themselves."

Qin Tian sighed softly, Cheng Chumo only needs to copy enough copies of the Four Books and Five Classics to copy a thousand copies, but he doesn't know how long he will be grounded.

When Qin Tian continued to be grounded in the mansion, after Cheng Yanjin and the others went back, they had already begun to order people to start working day and night.

1,000 copies of the Four Books and Five Classics is equivalent to a bound edition of 1,000 copies of the Four Books and Five Classics, which is really a huge project, but fortunately, it is enough to print a thousand copies directly in one page, so the speed is still very fast.

It's just that even if they have something as fast as movable type printing, Cheng Biting Jin and them still took seven or eight days to print before the printing was finally completed.

In these seven or eight days, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the paper and labor alone were more than 100 yuan.

I didn't expect so much at first, but when I actually did it, I really scared them.

And just as these things were well printed, Cheng Biting Jin and they entered the palace with a car.
