Chapter 179: It's Hidden Deeply

"Your Majesty, please see." Lin Sen handed over a few Mengxue books like a treasure.

"Oh? You're finally willing to print your two books. Li Shimin took it with a smile, but he simply flipped through each book, and then seemed to remember something, his expression suddenly changed from indifference to solemnity, and he read it carefully again, and closed the book with some reluctance.

"You kid hides it very deeply.,The font of this first book is clearly imitated from a certain flying white body.,A certain is naturally recognized.,But the latter two fonts have never been seen.,But it looks like it's so both form and spirit.,And each is a system.,It's clearly a mature font.。

I have gone through the famous masters of the past dynasties, and there are a few words of everyone in the world, these are not their handwriting, could it be that you kid created it himself? Li Shimin analyzed for a long time and came to a conclusion that he didn't even dare to believe.

"Hehe, it's just a little clumsy kid. However, the kid didn't dare to show his font in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty was also recognized as a famous artist at that time. What the kid is actually going to offer is what is behind these books. Lin Sen said proudly, and tried to pretend to be modest.

Li Shimin obviously also saw that Lin Sen's words were insincere, pointed at Lin Sen angrily and funny, and pondered the meaning of Lin Sen's words.

"These books are printed, not handwritten, so what do you mean by that, is it possible that there is a new printing technology?"

Li Shimin opened the books again, read them carefully several times, and after finding a few ink stains, he became more and more sure of his guess, at least he could be sure that these books were printed.

But I haven't heard that this kid has recently found a carving master to go back, he has been paying attention to this matter, this engraving is not just a person who can carve wood can do, the process is very complicated.

Readers often attach great importance to their own works, naturally no one is willing to find someone to print the book for themselves, otherwise why the printing workshop controlled by those families will be so prosperous, no one can compete with them for so many years, and they control most of the engraving masters have a lot to do with it.

Of course, there are some people who go for their fame and the promotion channels behind them, and what is printed from them is easier to make a name for themselves, and it is more dignified to say it.

Even if this kid himself is proficient in wood carving, and the things he makes are very expressive, even if he knows two new fonts himself, it may not be so easy to make the engraving that must be reversed.

"Well, this font is indeed inherently suitable for printing books, and you kid can be regarded as attentive." Li Shimin pointed to the books printed in Song style characters, and nodded affirmatively, although this kind of character looks a little dull, but it is also used for what purpose.

As for another more beautiful font, it is actually Zhao Ti. Let's not talk about Zhao Mengfu's character, at least the italics and calligraphy are very beautiful, otherwise he would not be selected as one of the four masters of regular script by later generations.

When Lin Sen practiced calligraphy since he was a child, he copied Zhao Ti characters, and of course it would take more time to write well, but Lin Sen at least remembered what Zhao Ti characters should look like.

And now with the help of the system, he can really do whatever he wants, as long as he can think of them in his heart, he can naturally present them perfectly, so he has the effect that makes Li Shimin feel amazing.

And Li Shimin's pride made him unable to admit to his face that he probably should have lost to a young man. However, with his mind at this time, of course, he would not hold a grudge against Lin Sen for this, but he just selectively ignored those books and talked about his discoveries instead.

"Hehe, Your Majesty's eyes are like torches. Now that His Majesty already has the answer, the kid will not sell the guanzi, the kid really thought of a new printing technology, this method of printing a small amount of books, especially the simple things that are printed can not reflect the advantages, and even more effort than engraving, but if a large number of printed books, the more complex the content of the print, the more pages that need to be plate-made, the greater its advantages, the speed of plate making is faster, the material consumed is much less, and the cost is relatively reduced a lot.

As for this kind of font is indeed made by the kid for the printing of books, it looks too heavy on the craftsmanship, one board and one eye, and it is not smart, such as His Majesty's calligraphy, I am afraid that I will scoff at it.

However, this font can be called a natural printing font, the simplest to make, the lowest requirements, and the clearest print, not easy to distort. Best for mass printing use. Lin Sen proudly introduced.

He is just a bit crazy, and he won't feel restrained when he chats with people, or he has those nervous feelings, and he dares to be nervous in front of Li Shimin.

"What the hell is that?" Li Shimin asked a little impatiently.

Why did he send Li Chengqian and repeatedly hinted that Lin Sen should hurry up and publish the book? Isn't it just to break the inheritance of the family's almost monopoly on cultural knowledge and give more opportunities to the poor students in the world?

And if there is such a time-saving, labor-saving and money-saving printing technology, it is a great news for the big goal of digging up the foundation of the family, and it can also provide too many opportunities for poor students, which is definitely a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

And it is conceivable that with such a good thing coming out, not only the inventor will be famous for eternity, but he, who is the emperor, will definitely be able to go one step closer to the goal of the first emperor through the ages, so it is inevitable that there will be some eagerness.

As the name suggests, the boy abandoned the traditional engraving printing technology that can only carve out all the contents of a page and print it at one time, but instead used wooden movable type, according to the content of each page for the method of typesetting.

Compared with the engraving can only be used once, after printing, it becomes a chicken rib, it takes up a bit of space, and it is a pity to throw it away, these wooden movable types can be used repeatedly, and will not be wasted.

And the engraving can't be wrong, as long as it's wrong, the whole layout will be wasted, so making a engraving is time-consuming and laborious, and sometimes you have to tear it down and start over.

Using wooden movable type to typeset, it can be modified at will, and it is nothing more than replacing some of the movable type.

After each page of content, remove the wooden movable type and re-assemble it into a new layout, or prepare several sets of wooden movable type, and print several layouts at the same time.

Skilled typesetting workers, a day's work is afraid that they can produce a lot of layouts, mainly the work of picking words, and this time to do engraving is afraid that half of the layout can not be done.

Compared with the two, it is naturally a superior judgment. ”

Lin Sen felt that he should not play any tricks with Li Shimin, and asked him to take the initiative to ask him for this movable type printing, but he still honestly poured it all out. The appetite for hanging this emperor is almost over, but don't play it anymore.

Anyway, with Li Shimin's thirst for this thing, the benefits that should be there will definitely be no loss of his own at all.

"Wonderful, wonderful. You're really good, kid. It's so good. Li Shimin only understood what Lin Sen said after a little pondering, and couldn't help laughing and patted Lin Sen's shoulder, which showed how excited he was.
