Kong Yingda's hands were full of ink, and he was sweating when he was working, and he couldn't help but wipe it with the back of his hand, and just like that, the ink was inevitably stuck to his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the old man's face was full of excitement, and his hands could not be stopped.

Cai Sha, who was waiting on the side, couldn't bear to interrupt him, and when he stopped, he brought a basin of warm water and asked him to wash his hands. The old man's face was flushed with excitement, and he washed his face to wash away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

This is the second time that the old man has shed tears today.

When he saw the stacks of papers and pencils, he burst into tears. When he saw movable type printing, the old man's eyes moistened again.

He typeset it himself, printed a lot of his own articles, and the joy of seeing the clear and neat articles in his heart was indescribable.

Kong Yingda has devoted his life to education, and he knows how expensive and scarce books are in society because of the scarcity and backwardness of paper and printing. Most people can't afford to read, and it's hard to spread the word about education.

The Tang Dynasty mainly used engraving printing. On a smooth wooden board of a certain thickness, paste the manuscript neatly copied, and the front of the thin and almost transparent manuscript paper is attached to the board, and the characters become inverted, and the strokes are clearly legible. The engraver uses a carving knife to cut off the part of the layout without handwriting, which becomes the yang script with the font convex, which is completely different from the stele yin script with the font recessed. When printing, ink is applied to the raised font, and then the paper is covered on top of it, and the back of the paper is gently wiped so that the handwriting is left on the paper.

Engraving printing has played a major role in the dissemination of culture, but there are also obvious shortcomings: first, engraving is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, second, a large number of book plates are inconvenient to store, and third, there are typos that are not easy to correct.

The invention of movable type printing was a great technological revolution in the history of printing. During the Qing Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty (1041-1048), Bi Sheng (970-1051) of China invented movable type, marking the birth of movable type printing. He was the first inventor in the world, about 400 years before the German Johannes Gutenberg movable type printing. Wang Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty successfully created wooden movable type and invented wheel typesetting. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, copper movable type was widely used in Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou and other places in Jiangsu.

Due to the technical level, Li Su could not make modern letterpress printing, so he instructed the Ministry of Industry to raise the wooden type, copper type and rotary typesetting, which was also a revolutionary breakthrough in Datang's printing technology.

Kong Yingda and Li Su discussed for a morning. Stay for lunch at noon.

During the banquet, Li Su said: "Master, my father wants to do a big thing - he wants to popularize basic education throughout the country, so that all school-age children can receive education, and for adults who have missed the opportunity, he also wants to completely eliminate illiteracy in his lifetime and in the whole Tang Dynasty."

In this matter, he asked me to recommend a leading person, I want to recommend you to do it, I don't know if you are willing? ”

Kong Yingda was very excited, he stood up and said: "This is also the minister's wish, and the minister is willing to pay his life's work for this." ”

Li Su said, "Master, please take a seat, in that case, I have a plan. Let's ...... it like this."

After hearing this, Kong Yingda said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old minister will do it immediately." ”

Soon, Kong Yingda resigned from the position of principal of the aristocratic school, saying that he was sick and returned to his hometown.

The people of Chang'an went about their lives as usual, and soon forgot about this great Confucian who was active in the cultural circles.

A month later. Yunzhou County Palace.

Kong Yingda said to the king of Yunzhou County, Qibi Wuyun: "County King, the old minister has been resting for three days, let's start doing what the emperor has explained." ”

Qibi Wuyun said, "Okay, Master Kong. His Royal Highness King Liang wrote down and said, everything will be done according to your orders, and I will fully cooperate. ”

Kong Yingda said: "You recommend two counties, I want to conduct a field trip, and then select one as a pilot." ”

Qibi Wuyun said: "Okay, I will send the official in charge of education in the royal palace to accompany you on the inspection. ”

Kong Yingda said: "You just let them prepare." We'll leave tomorrow. ”

Qibi Wuyun said, "Master Kong, there is one more thing I want to ask you for. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Kong Yingda asked.

"Wu Cong, come here." With the cry of the dark clouds, Wu Cong walked in.

Qibi Wuyun said: "Master Kong, this is the fiancée of His Royal Highness King Liang, Wu Cong, who is not yet 13 years old this year, and it is the time to need education. His Royal Highness King Liang implored Master Kong to accept her as an apprentice. At the same time, let her take care of your daily life during your time in Yunzhou. ”

Li Su thinks that Wu Cong, a demon, must be disciplined well to prevent her from having the opportunity to develop deformities. But ordinary people can't deal with her, so they think of the majestic Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda looked at Wu Cong, he looked clever, and liked it from the bottom of his heart, so he said: "Since it is entrusted by His Royal Highness King Liang, the old minister will not refuse." ”

Qibi Wuyun said: "Wu Cong, why don't you hurry up and salute Master Kong?" ”

Wu Cong had no opinion, took two steps forward, knelt down and bowed to the teacher.

Why is Wu Cong so obedient?

It turned out that Wu Cong followed the Qibi dark clouds every day to learn. Qibi Wuyun is the concubine of King Liang and the king of Yunzhou, with a noble bearing and a kind of prestige. Wu Cong felt uncomfortable, so she chose Kong Yingda, thinking that this old man should be easier to deal with.

For Qibi Wuyun, Wu Cong is really bothering her, this girl is tricky and weird, compared to Li Ning'er, it is not a little difficult to deal with. Wu Cong gave her the feeling that people were very well-behaved, but they were too clever. You ask her to go east, and she goes east, but she turns west.

It was not Li Su's idea to let Wu Cong follow Kong Yingda as an apprentice, but it was a temporary thought of Qibi Wuyun after seeing Kong Yingda.

Li Su told her about Kong Yingda's awesomeness, and she thought that she should just put these two monsters together and let them have a headache by themselves.

The next morning, Kong Yingda and the others set off under the escort of Ma Hangu, the captain of the county king's palace guard (the brother-in-law of Qi Zhiluo).

Wu Cong and Kong Yingda took a carriage together and went to Changqing County.

Li Su received the letter from the black clouds of Qibi, and couldn't help laughing, he said to Du He: "Haha, now, the two monsters have come together, but there is a good show." ”

Du He didn't understand and asked, "What two monsters?" ”

Li Su smiled: "Do you say that Master Kong is powerful, doesn't he look like a monster?" ”

When Du He thought of Kong Yingda, he was stunned. He nodded and said, "Amazing, like, he's an old monster." So who is the other youkai? ”

Li Su smiled: "It's my family's martial artist." ”

Du He and Wu Cong only had a one-sided relationship, and he had a good impression of her, and he said: "Your little daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door is very good." ”

Li Su smiled: "This is what makes her great." Okay, I won't tell you, I'm looking forward to it. ”

Sure enough, not long after, Kong Yingda began to have a headache.
