Chapter 41: Da Chu's Movable Type Printing
"Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified, the little marquis Xie Cheng concealed his identity two months ago, assumed the pseudonym Chen Tang, went to Xuzhou to play, where he met Qiu Yue, the pillar of the Four Seasons class, after the two had a relationship, Xie Cheng found that Qiu Yue was pregnant, because the other party was a play, and the Hou Mansion could not give a name, so he fled back to Luoyang, and Li Huilan knew about it, and asked Qiu Yue to secretly beat the child, but Qiu Yue was unwilling, so he quarreled a few times, this time at the invitation of Brother Shen, for the opening of the Drunken Immortal Building, on the opening day, Qiu Yue found Xie Cheng, The two were entangled together, and finally Qiu Yue knew the identity of Xie Cheng's little marquis, after Li Huilan knew, not only was she not happy, but she was anxious to let Qiu Yue immediately beat the child and go back immediately, Qiu Yue still refused, the two had a big fight, and this was how Xiao Er saw it, and in the next few days, Qiu Yue often ran to the Hou Mansion to seek justice, Li Huilan was anxious, knowing that something bad would happen, and immediately prepared to set off for back, but at this time Qiu Yue was killed, although I don't know who was the murderer now, but when Li Huilan was framed, After being imprisoned, the Marquis of Kangle sent someone to threaten her, if she said one more word, she would let the entire Four Seasons class be buried together, Li Huilan had no choice but to admit it herself" In the early morning of the second day, in the Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhong reported on 1510.
Xiang Chi looked at the grievance drawn by Li Huilan in his hand, slapped it on the dragon case, and said with a cold face: "Three treasures"
"The Minions Are In"
"Luoyang Yin is extremely incompetent, so he has withdrawn from me," Xiang Chi ordered.
"Obey"
After Zheng Sanbao left, Wei Zhong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this time it involves the Kangle Hou Mansion, so Jinyiwei doesn't dare to take people at will."
"I understand, the first generation of Kangle Marquis Xie Feng, is Taizu's best friend, the two grew up together, and once blocked an arrow for Taizu on the battlefield, in addition to giving Kangle the title of Marquis, but also gave Danshu iron coupons, which can avoid the death of his clan, Taizong married a princess during the period, and the old marquis Xie Zhixing during the first emperor period pacified the Nanmang Rebellion, and was an auxiliary general" Xiang Chi said solemnly.
"Really, Your Majesty," Wei Zhong said in a low voice.
After Xiang Chi stood up, he paced back and forth, in fact, the Danshu Iron Coupon is nothing to his dignified emperor, the key problem is the old marquis Xie Zhixing, although the emperor is supreme, but he must also respect the elderly, although there are no outstanding talents in the Xie family's generation, whether it is Xie Zhang, who inherited the throne, or Xie Cheng, who is the bastard, they are all ordinary people, but Xie Zhixing is still there, although he has reached the age of seventy, but as long as he is still there, Xiang Chi has to scruples.
Because Xie Zhixing used to be an auxiliary general, and now Wang Xiaokun, Qi Zhen, Han Fei and other generals on the border are all his old subordinates, and he is also Ji Yun's teacher, who has taught Ji Yun martial arts, this status, this qualification, even he can't dispose of it at will.
In fact, to put it cruelly, a drama dies when it dies, and it can't affect the overall situation, but at present, this drama is related to the struggle between the two factions, and whether Han Wenliang can justifiably enter the Zhongshu Province.
"Your Majesty, do you need to mobilize the Jinyi Guard's secret son to mobilize the power of the people," Wei Zhong said with a cold face.
Xiang Chi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "Now is not the time, although I believe that Li Huilan may not be lying, but just by her words, she will pull the matter to the Kangle Hou Mansion, this is difficult to become a climate, the Kangle Mansion can completely say that she was framed, now that Qiuyue is dead, no one has any evidence"
"The minions have sent someone to infiltrate the Kangle Hou Mansion to find the real murderer," Wei Zhongdao said.
"Okay, but remember, even if you find out, you will supervise it first, and I will have to think about it this time," Xiang Chi said
"Minions understand"
。。。。。
At noon, when Wei Zhong returned to the Zhenfu Division in the carriage, Lou Jian, who had interrogated Li Huilan last night, immediately greeted him and said in a low voice: "Duke Wei, there is a harvest over there in Yuzhou."
"What" Wei Zhong's face moved, and he hurriedly said: "What about people?" ”
"It's in the secret room of the Yazhong, and it's the subordinates who greet it personally, and no one interferes," Lou Jian replied.
"Okay, I'll be right over"
"Yes"
。。。。。
Late at night, just as the palace gate was about to close, Wei Zhong took the two of them into the imperial city secretly again.
Xiang Chi, who was already in the queen's palace and was about to rest, heard that it was someone from Yuzhou, and immediately returned to the Qianqing Palace with Zheng Sanbao.
"Servants meet Your Majesty"
"The grass people meet your majesty"
Wei Zhong took two sturdy men to give a salute.
"Don't be polite, say, what has been gained in Yuzhou" Xiang Chi said with concern, the so-called harvest of Yuzhou is the Heavenly Sword, of course, after the arquebus incident, Xiang Chi formed the most secret Heavenly Sword in Dachu, gathered all skilled craftsmen, and intended to reform the armament of Dachu.
"Your Majesty, please look" At this time, I saw Wei Zhong take out a piece of paper that had been rolled into a ball from his cuff and handed it to Xiang Chi.
Xiang Chi took it and opened it, his face showed a trace of surprise, only to see that after the paper was spread, he seemed to see the newspaper of his previous life, on which the big and small things that happened in Yuzhou during this time were printed on the paper, the handwriting was clear, the layout was reasonable, and the only deficiency was that there were no pictures.
"Your Majesty, this is a person named Bi Lun in the Heavenly Sword, who invented movable type printing, and this kind of printing has been much improved compared to the current engraving printing technique of my Great Chu" Wei Zhong said in a low voice.
Xiang Chi waved his hand, looked at the two people behind Wei Zhong, and said, "You guys talk about it carefully."
Hearing this, one of the people with calm eyes immediately hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the original engraving printing, although it is not bad, but the engraving engraving is very time-consuming, and the engraving printing technology is after the book is published, if there is no need to reprint, then the carved woodblock will all be invalidated, and the time required for re-engraving is very long, and the movable type printing is not, not only is the typesetting convenient, but also can be continuously reused, which greatly reduces the workload and hours, and Your Majesty, please see, the font on the current paper, Compared with other printing, it is much clearer, this is because Mr. Bi reformed the printing ink, and Mr. Bi also said that in addition to these, the most important thing is that he invented a spiral hand wrench wooden printing tool, which improved the past "brush printing" method to "embossing" method, so to speak, this kind of movable type printing, compared with the current printing technology, whether it is font or speed, is ten times faster, or even twenty times worthless"
After hearing the word embossing, Xiang stood up fiercely, although he was not too clear about the specific working principle of printing, but the way of embossing, he just saw a report in his previous life, it was invented by someone in the West with the principle of pressing grape sweat machine, it was introduced many years later, it was the prototype of the real printing press, his speed was much faster than the brush printing, I didn't expect that even this point was broken by Bi Lun, although it was still manual, but it was indeed a leapfrog development.
"Bi Lun is also talented, meritorious and great, meritorious and the world, meritorious and descendants, as a name in history, immortal" Xiang Chi said excitedly.
Wei Zhong, who was so happy when he saw Xiang Chi for the first time, immediately hugged his fists and said: "This is the arrival of the Holy Monarch, so that such a weapon for the benefit of the country was born."
"Nope! I just gave a platform, passed the order, and canonized Bi Lun as the five products of Da Chu Zheng, no! is a master of scientific research in Dachu, and he has no heirs" Xiang Chidao.
"Your Majesty, he has a son and a daughter"
"All canonizations, all the court offerings, reward 100 gold, no! Reward a thousand taels of gold" Xiang Chi changed his mouth twice in a row.
"Obey," Wei Zhong said with some surprise.
"Three days, three days later, let Jin Yiwei protect Bi Lun into Beijing, let him bring all the tools, I want to announce to everyone in the court, the emergence of movable type printing, for Bi Lun to achieve a thousand years of good reputation, and at the same time officially change the propaganda office to the propaganda department" Xiang Chi waved his hand excitedly.
"Yes! Long live Your Majesty, long live long live."
"Haha, this is God bless me Da Chuye!" Xiang Chi laughed loudly.
