Advanced concepts do not immediately become advanced productivity, this truth Wang Xingxin understands very well, and the wisdom of Datang craftsmen is not endless.

Since Li Er ordered Wang Xingxin to make the printed movable type as soon as possible, Wang Xingxin couldn't even recognize all the traditional characters, let alone carve those small pieces of movable type. This also depends on the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, the craftsmen of the Li Er faction and others have made two sets of movable types with hardwood and cement under the slight guidance of Wang Xingxin, each set has more than 3,000 commonly used words and about 1,000 rare words, but when the experimental typesetting and printing is not known, it is because of the problem of materials or the problem of ink, most of the articles printed are cleaned, and some words can not be printed, so they can only brush the ink again.

Although the craftsmen were amazed, Wang Xingxin was still not satisfied, and the speed at which he could only print a few sheets of ink at a time made him feel that it was not perfect, and it could be improved.

He remembered the lead seal of the afterlife.

This lead is not commonly used in the Tang Dynasty, only those Taoist priests who are about to poison and become immortals in alchemy have measured lead for alchemy.

After letting Cheng Chumo Pegasus report to Li Er, the alchemy Taoist priests in the Taoist temples around Chang'an were unlucky.

Almost all the lead in alchemy was scavenged by Cheng Chumo with Li Er's warrant and a group of wolf-like soldiers.

Looking at the lead blocks loaded on the carriages, Wang Xingxin was afraid of Cheng Chumo's combat effectiveness and didn't dare to kick it, so he had to say to him with a bitter face: "Ugly cow, you are so bold!" I'm not afraid of lead poisoning, just get some movable type, how can I use so much lead! ”

With lead, the lead word was done without the two of them, Wang Xingxin looked at the clearly printed handwriting, and was overjoyed to let people buy a hundred and ten chickens and ducks, as well as a few sheep and a pig, and commanded the women and craftsmen in the village to cook, and ate a few meals.

Lying on the rocking chair made by Liu Gangzi, Wang Xingxin, who was eating a little, was holding a wooden skewer and was leisurely picking his teeth.

"New baby, this movable type has been made, why don't you let the ugly cow go to report the good news to Your Majesty?"

"Uncle Liu, what are you panicking about! It's done too fast, and it can't be shown, the kid is doing his best, and he is working hard to do things for His Majesty, and he will send it in a few days to show that this movable type is the kid's exhaustion of energy to make a drop! ”

"Melon cowardice! Do you think Your Majesty is like a black baby? Presumably now that His Majesty has known that this movable type has been made, don't you see how many sergeants are missing from the guard? You'd better hurry up and let the ugly cow report to Your Majesty, and you'd better write another letter of plea with your own hands. ”

"Why do you please?"

Wang Xingxin got up from the rocking chair and said: "Why do you want to be guilty!" Boy, that's a great achievement! ”

"Humph! Have you forgotten what you said that day? Your Majesty is not to blame, but you kid can't help but be guilty! Hurry up and write! ”

Liu Laoer's words Wang Xingxin didn't dare not listen, if he didn't listen, he would be tied up and cured of the melon disease. But he doesn't know how to write traditional Chinese characters, especially brush characters!

Embarrassed, he scratched his ears and scratched his head, and just when he wanted to go to Cheng Chumo to write on his behalf, the leader of the craftsmen came over, first saluted him, and then said: "Sir, our movable type has been made, do you see if it is reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible, and how many copies of the "Analects" printed as a sample book, can you see how many copies of the "Analects" are printed?" ”

"Then print ten copies of the Analects and send them to Your Majesty's Imperial Reading, by the way, stop printing the Analects first, and this lord will first print a recital for His Majesty!"

Wang Xingxin dictated, when the craftsman typeset not much, the vernacular petition was printed, which made people do a good job of covering, Wang Xingxin held the book with the fragrance of ink, and felt that he was too talented.

In the neutral political hall of the palace, Li Erzheng and Empress Changsun are teasing the young son Li Zhi, who is now less than two years old of the future Emperor Gaozong, and there is a teenage little Lori standing next to her, who is the eldest daughter Li Lizhi who married the eldest son of Changsun Wuji.

As soon as Li Er wanted to hug his young son, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then the eunuch next to him went out and took the leader of the craftsman and two people carrying a large wooden box after a while.

Li Er rarely had time to enjoy this family fun, and when he saw someone disturbing him, he immediately became angry when he saw that it was not an important minister of the DPRK who had a state report, but just a craftsman who was a prisoner!

Seeing that Li Er was showing signs of anger, the wise and virtuous eldest grandson Empress stepped forward to comfort her second brother and said, "Your Majesty, it must be that the movable type you said has been printed!" ”

As soon as Li Eryi heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, the family! Li Erzheng, who was pressed by the huge family group of Datang, couldn't sleep every day! Although I heard that someone came to report that the movable type was printed, I was still a little worried that I didn't see it with my own eyes.

At this time, Empress Changsun told him that the wooden box brought by the craftsmen and others who came to meet him must be the movable type printing technique, and immediately laughed angrily and asked, "Is it the movable type printing brought from the place of Lantian County?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly! This time, the minister brought a set of movable type made of wood, clay, and lead, ten copies of the Analects printed with movable type of three materials, and a letter of petition for His Majesty printed by Lantian County. ”

"Quick! Lift it up! I want to see it! ”

Li Er first picked up a printed "Analects" and flipped it to read, the handwriting was a little unclear, but he could also recognize it, and then picked up another one, and after turning it, this "Analects" was printed very clearly, even better than the engraving print!

After the head of the craftsman who was the supervisor explained on the side, Li Er realized that the first book was printed with movable type made of clay, and the second book was printed with lead characters. After comparing the three, Li Er can easily see that the mouth printed by the lead word is good!

After putting down the Analects, Li Er asked the craftsman: "The printing is good, but I don't know how long it takes?" ”

The craftsman seemed to have known that Li Er had asked for a long time, so he said, "Back to Your Majesty, I will let the minister show you something." ”

After getting Li Er's permission, the craftsman called a few more people, took out a large box of lead characters from the wooden box and began to typeset, but it was not the version of the "Analects", but the first chapter of the "University".

After a while, more than 200 words in the first chapter of "University" were lined up, and then they were printed with ink. A quarter of an hour later, the first chapter of the University was printed in more than twenty copies by the craftsman.

Li Er didn't wait for the ink to dry up, picked up a page and read: The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection.

Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end. Knowing what to do is the shortest way to go.....

After laughing, Li Er put down the paper in his hand, and ordered without caring about wiping his blackened hand with ink: "You are meritorious!" I don't hesitate to reward! It's just that the law of this movable type must be kept secret, if one person leaks all the three tribes! You can understand! ”

The craftsmen were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and said yes.

Li Er glanced at the eunuch, and the eunuch took those craftsmen out, presumably they would be locked up somewhere without Li Er's permission, and they would not be able to get out in this life.

As soon as Empress Eldest Sun coaxed Li Zhi, who was scared to cry by Li Er's wild laughter, she stepped forward to congratulate her and said, "The concubine congratulates Your Majesty!" Congratulations for Datang! ”

After speaking, he said aggrievedly: "It's just that Your Majesty just laughed wildly and scared our little pheasant slave into crying." ”

"Haha, Guanyin is so happy! These families! I have controlled most of the people in the world who read! Let me feel at ease, now it's okay, with this printing technique, my Tang Dynasty people will not be able to read books in a few years! ”

"Your Majesty, there is also the letter of invitation from Lantian County, why don't you take a look? The concubine was curious about why this Lantian county son had made a great contribution and asked for guilt. ”

Only then did Li Er remember that the craftsman said that there was also a copy of Wang Xingxin's petition for sin, and the chief eunuch took out a recital from the wooden box with a very discerning look and handed it to Li Er with a somewhat strange expression.

As soon as Li Er looked at the cover, he laughed "poof", only to see that the cover was crookedly written with four big words: The kid is wrong. After opening it, he didn't read a few words and laughed out loud, Li Er, who couldn't help laughing, handed the guilty recital to the curious eldest grandson Empress next to him and said with a smile: "Guanyin, look at the guilty plea printed by this bastard boy, what kind of guilty plea is this!" ”

After reading it, Empress Changsun saw that Wang Xingxin's vernacular was printed in very clear lead characters: Your Majesty, the great and wise emperor, first of all, congratulations on obtaining this printing technique, and then wish the Tang Dynasty eternal prosperity, where the sun shines, there is the land of the Tang Dynasty. Next, the kid will admit his mistake to you first, the kid shouldn't say at the banquet that for my uncle, he can go against His Majesty. The kid is just drunk and raving. Please also don't blame your magnanimous majesty, don't hit the boy's board, and don't cut off your head.

The kid is very respectful to His Majesty, and his appearance is also respectful, how can he go against His Majesty, if it weren't for the fact that I had already recognized Uncle Qin as the second master, it just so happened that Your Majesty would also be the second, and the kid would like to recognize you as the second master! Your Majesty rest assured, there are good things that the boy doesn't dare to keep privately, as long as His Majesty doesn't beat the boy, it's fine! We and the harmony are all contributing to Datang and fighting for Datang, the kid will definitely be a good young man of Datang who loves Datang and protects Datang, and whoever bullies Datang kid will beat him.

Say the important thing three times! Your Majesty is wrong! The kid was wrong! The kid was wrong! ‘

In the end, the kid also wanted to say that in a few days, the kid would give His Majesty a gift to ensure that His Majesty likes it, and the beauty is very!

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't cry or laugh, and after reading this messy petition for sin, Li Er stopped laughing.

"Guanyin, look at this Lantian County, look! Where did this bastard kid come from! I don't know how to write and ink, and even the vernacular is written in a mess, oh, it should be printed! This bastard boy is very lazy too! I don't even bother to write a letter of guilt to me! ”

"Your Majesty, it must be that this Lantian County still has a layer of merit to His Majesty, using this movable type to print the book. I want His Majesty to see the benefits of movable type printing more directly! ”

If Wang Xingxin heard this, he would have shouted that he was wronged, he really didn't mean to show his merits, he just couldn't write calligraphy and traditional characters.

"Then Guanyin can see if I can spare this kid?"

"Your Majesty didn't really blame it, why bother asking the concubines."

"It's still Guanyin and I know it! It's just that I'm worried about how to reward this kid, and now they're all viscounts! This printing technique can be described as a miracle, even if it is a marquis! But ....."

"Your Majesty is worried about the concubines and understands, it's just that the harem can't interfere in politics, and the concubines don't have a good idea, Your Majesty still invites the eldest brother and Lord Fang, and Lord Wei had better invite General Qin to discuss it again, as for General Cheng, His Majesty had better not invite!"

"Haha, Guanyin also knows that this Cheng Zhijie is a scoundrel! And I'm curious about what gift this kid wants to give me. ”

Then he sent them to the ministers for counseling.
