In the system of Chinese civilization, printing undoubtedly occupies a pivotal part, and is known as one of the four great inventions

But in reality?

The exact time of the appearance of printing was roughly at the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it went through two stages of development: engraving printing and movable type printing. \。 qВ5 and c0М\\ From engraving printing to movable type printing, there are 600 years in between, and then gradually develop until they reach maturity.

The printing technique completed by Huang Yueying last year is the prototype of engraving printing.

But as she said, there are quite a few serious flaws in block printing. In addition to the three problems she mentioned, there is also a very big drawback, which is that when printing a large number of books, the cost is immeasurable.

Tao Te Ching, 5,000 words, easy to do......

However, books such as the Analects, the Book of Rites, the Book of Shang, and the Zuo Chuan of the Spring and Autumn Period were the foundation of the scholars' study, and they were very troublesome to print.

If you are an ordinary craftsman, after developing the engraving printing technique, you will generally not continue to study further.

But Huang Yueying is different. She has the rigor of a scholar, and at the same time has a research spirit that ordinary craftsmen do not have.

Therefore, after discovering the shortcomings of block printing, they immediately tried to find new ways to improve it.

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Actually, this method has already had a prototype in the period of Qin Shi Huang. When I was consulting the classics, I found that when Qin Shi Huang unified the weights and measures of the Six Kingdoms, he used to stamp the edict of the four crosses on the pottery vessels.

It was this account that inspired me...... Brother Dong, if this method is implemented. Then the world's scholars will definitely return to their hearts. ”

When she said this, Huang Yueying wiped her forehead with her small black hand.

The face that had been wiped clean suddenly had a few more black gray marks. You can see that she is tired. The reason why she can still talk about her invention and creation with great interest at this moment is completely due to a sense of joy. Dong couldn't help it. I felt a pang of distress.

"Alright, don't talk about your printing anymore...... I will leave this matter to Ma Jun to deal with. What you have to do now is rest...... Get a good night's sleep. Otherwise, in a few days, when Huang Gong comes to see what you look like now, he will definitely think that I am abusing you and fighting with me. ”

Huang Yueying was stunned, "My father is coming?" ”

"Yes, I have asked people to go to Wangbei County and ask Huang Gong for marriage!"

"Ah......h

Huang Yueying's little face turned red, and suddenly became twisted. Dong Cai doesn't care about her. He hugged her in his arms.

"Brother Dong......"

"Don't mess around, now let me go to sleep obediently, and when my spirit recovers, let's talk slowly."

Huang Yueying is tall, taller than most women. Although she was born in Jingxiang, she resembles the body of a northern woman.

The height of seven feet and eight inches is calculated according to the method of the later generations. It is 179 centimeters long.

But in front of Dong, he was like a child. Holding it in his arms, Dong felt less than half a point of weight.

A frown. He said softly, "From tomorrow onwards, you have to give me exercise." How can you be so thin, you really don't care about yourself! ”

Huang Yueying blushed and struggled to get down.

But how can he escape from Dong's hands? After struggling twice, she hurriedly said, "Brother Dong." Let me sort out the notes I wrote yesterday. I promise. When you're done, be sure to take a good rest. Guaranteed to work out tomorrow. ”

"No...... Notes, I'll sort them out in a moment. ”

Dong said with a straight face, "If you are disobedient again, don't blame me for going out and spanking you for a while, your face needs to be ugly." ”

A big girl's family was spanked, and Huang Yueying didn't have the courage to face it.

had to be obediently carried out of the study by Dong, and under the attention of Xiao Yuer and Xiao Mu, he entered the bedroom and was placed on the couch.

Dong asked her to lie down and covered her with a futon.

It's really tiring......

Now that the problem is solved, I see Dong come back again. Huang Yueying's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and under Dong Di's persuasion, she quickly fell asleep.

Dong shook his head and sighed lightly.

Tucked the futon for her again, and then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

The little fish and the little wood stood at the door with blushing faces. Seeing Dong come out, the two of them hurriedly lowered their heads and saluted Dong.

"Miss's notes, do you all know where to put them?"

Little Wood replied, "Sir, we know. Usually, all kinds of records made by the young lady are sorted out and stored by the two of us. ”

"Deliver it all to me in that moment. The objects inside are well organized...... Without my permission, the young lady was not allowed to enter the study one step further. ”

"Whoa!"

The two little maids hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Dong Fu has the habit of three meals a day, breakfast at the end of the day, lunch at noon, and one meal at night, which can be said to be very punctual.

In this era, it is rare for ordinary people to have a full meal.

Even many wealthy families eat two meals a day, and if they are hungry, they will ask their subordinates to eat at any time.

However, Dong Na's memories from later generations believe that the eating habit of three meals a day is the best. The quality of the three meals may not be very good, but it is very punctual, and Dong's own requirements are quite strict.

Keats thought it was very reasonable for him to have this habit, and Cai Yan implemented it at home.

At breakfast, Dong asked about the daily homework of the four children, and after the meal, Dong Ji was left alone in the study, and the father and son sat opposite each other.

"I plan to send Fa Zheng to take charge of affairs on behalf of the county, but the Inspectorate at hand is an extremely important department, and it needs to be presided over by a close person. Fa Zheng recommended you to me...... You are sixteen years old. I am relieved of your talents. But the Inspectorate ...... I want to ask you if you're interested in coming out and doing Daddy a favor. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it. ”

"The Inspectorate?"

Dong Ji was obviously stunned by this sudden incident.

After all, before that. He didn't prepare for anything, and subconsciously asked, "Daddy." But is that the Inspectorate of Fort Post? ”

"Exactly!"

"I'm willing to ......"

"Six catties, don't be in a hurry to agree. The Inspectorate is not as simple as you think, and the affairs it undertakes are not only of great significance to state affairs, but also to my Dong family. Entering the Dupostburg means that you will not have the laid-back life you have now. ”

Dong Ji rarely saw his own Lao Tzu in such a serious tone.

After hesitating for a moment, he got up and intervened, "Father, my son is sixteen. At the age of twelve, my father galloped to the northwest, and at the age of fourteen, he was already famous all over the world. Although he didn't dare to say that he wanted to emulate his father, he was willing to share his worries and solve problems for his father. The matter ...... My son will not live up to his father's high expectations. ”

"In that case...... After lunch, you go with your Uncle Yuanrong to Fort Duyou. You don't have much time. After the law filial piety is released to Youzhou in the coming year, you must take on all the affairs of the Inspectorate. During this time, you need to ask the Fazheng for advice. ”

"Child...... Yes, sir! ”

Sixteen-year-old Dong Ji is more like his mother Dong Lu, and less like Dong. is only seven feet five inches tall, which is outstanding among his peers, but compared with Dong Shuo and Dong You. but he should be half a head shorter. Dong couldn't help but reach out and rub his hair.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one in his hands, I really didn't want this kid to be so early. Just join in this deceitful strife.

It is estimated that in the next day or two, he will probably stay there and get acquainted with it. After all, the secret of Fort Dupost. Too much!

Dong and Cai Yan are three daughters. Talking in the garden gazebo.

A big battle in Luoyang was enough to separate his family for two years. Naturally, there will be many things, many whispers to be said.

Dong Shuo and Dong You, two big children, although they are just over ten years old, are all tiger-headed and tiger-brained, and they are alive and well off the younger Dong.

The two eldest sons have Dong's inheritance, but they are born with divine power. Although he is not good at reading, he is extremely obsessed with martial arts...... Since childhood, Hua Tuo has soaked it in various herbs, to paraphrase a martial arts saying, that is, to wash the marrow and cut the bones. And he has been practicing five poultry operas since he was a child.

Two boys, both with hammers. Dong Shuo, the eldest son, used a pair of black gold hammers, weighing one hundred and four pounds; The little boy Dong You made a pair of eight-sided purple gold hammers, weighing ninety-eight pounds. Compared with Dong Di's hammer, the weapons of the two boys are inconspicuous. But you know, how old are the two of them now.

In the past two years in Chang'an, there has been a lot of trouble.

Whenever there is a large-scale fight, there must be the shadow of these two boys. So much so that the people of Chang'an jokingly called Er Dong the two demon kings of the mixed world.

At this moment, the two boys were on the lawn in front of the gazebo, dancing with knives and guns, and they were very happy.

Xiao Wenji was relatively quiet, listening to her father and mother, and fell asleep on Dong Di's lap unconsciously.

Cai Yan laughed softly: "If Daddy is here, he will definitely be very happy." The ugly boy back then has now become the seventh son of Jian'an, it's not easy. ”

"It's all that Cao Jili messing around!"

Cao Cao's nickname is Apu, also known as Geely. In private, when Dong and his family talk about him, they call him by his nickname.

Ren Hongchang said: "I don't think so...... If there is such a result, I hope that he will mess around a few more times, and then no one will be able to influence the name of the husband. But I think Cao Jili must be very sad now...... Pingbai has achieved the reputation of the husband. ”

Dong smiled, but he was thinking: It's possible to say this! Maybe Cao Cao is depressed hitting the wall at home now!

Cai Yan put away his smile, "Ugly, there is one thing that you have to worry about when you come back this time." ”

"What's the matter?"

Cai Yan pointed to Xiao Wenji, who was asleep on the bench, "This girl is about to be nineteen, but she hasn't made a determination yet." There are many people who ask me to marry, but she doesn't approve of the people I say. When you come back this time, you should pay close attention to it. ”

After a warp. Cai Yan also understood Dong's thoughts.

In this situation, God knows what the future holds? If Xiao Wenji really marries Liu Bian, I am afraid that she will not be happy in the future.

It's just that her daughter is getting bigger and bigger, and her heart is getting higher and higher.

Children of ordinary families don't even look at it. There are quite a few people who want to pursue it. was asked by Cai Jie to let Dong Ji come out and drive him clean. If you are no longer allowed to marry someone. What will others say and think? Although nominally not her daughter, she is her flesh and blood after all.

For this, Dong Lu is also very troubled.

Dong Hun didn't care, "I'm afraid, my little phoenix, I'm afraid that no one wants it?" Sister, you don't have to worry about this matter, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. ”

"That's what I said. Can ......"

Cai Yan sighed, turned his head and glanced at Dong Lu, "Let's let Lu'er say it." ”

Dong couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and looked at Dong Lu. Dong Lu, who is over thirty years old, has maintained a good figure because of his perennial martial arts practice, and he is mature and charming. Although it is more attractive than Ren Hongchang, it has an indescribable charm.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Moon Ji? ”

"Not really!" Dong Lu smiled bitterly: "It's just Wen Ji...... It seems that I like someone now. ”

"Huh?"

Dong was taken aback and looked down at Xiao Wenji. looked at Dong Lu again, and said softly: "Whose child is so blessed?" ”

Dong Lu said softly: "Actually, my sister and I are not sure...... I just found that she likes to meet a third-school student. ”

Dong Wei frowned, "Three students? ”

Cai Yan nodded, "I asked Yuanrong to pay attention to it. It was found that she was often with a third-school student. The man's name was Gong Sun. It's a Koto native...... This year, he just won the crown and went directly to Chang'an County three years ago...... Character learning. According to Yuan Rong, it is very good. ”

"Gongsun?"

"It's not the grandson of Gongsun, it's the palace of Shang Yu of Jiaozheng Palace...... I heard that it was from a poor family, and because of the war in Jiangdong, he went out to study. ”

Dong asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"We've seen that kid, he looks very good, and his learning is not bad. It's just that his family background ......"

Dong interrupted Cai Yan's words, "I'm just from a good family, and my family background is nothing." As long as that kid is really good to Wen Ji and his character is not bad, there is no problem. If Wen Ji can be happy, I will be happy...... It is not necessarily a good thing to join a wealthy family...... Haven't you heard of it? Once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea. I'd rather her live a carefree and happy life than get her caught up in those intrigues. ”

Obviously, Dong's words did not get the approval of Cai Yan's three daughters.

But he is the head of the family, and since he said so, the third daughter can't say anything more. Let's take it slow and talk about it depending on the situation.

After chatting for a while, the two children ran back sweating profusely, and Xiao Wenji also woke up.

At this time, a family member came to report that Miss Huang's two little maids had sent a lot of things and were now waiting for the master outside the study.

Dong got up and walked to the study.

But when he walked into the study, he was dumbfounded......

There were three or four large boxes of books and notes, as well as all kinds of items, which made the originally large and spacious study a little crowded.

"What are these?"

Xiao Mu said very aggrievedly: "Master, didn't you ask us to bring Miss's notes?" When a young lady takes notes, she tends to do a lot of auxiliary things. These are the various records written by the young lady in the past two years, and the others are the tools made by the young lady herself. ”

Dong was dumbfounded.

It was only after a while that he finally understood why the two little maids seemed very hesitant when he commanded Xiao Mu just now.

It turns out that it is such a huge project......

"Okay, stuff here, I'll look at it slowly. If the young lady wakes up in a while, she will ask the kitchen to make some supplements and send them. I have already commanded it, and you will arrange it yourself...... Come on, let Li Kui come over, I have something to tell him to do. ”

The little maid withdrew in response, and after a while, Li Kui hurried over.

Seeing the items in this study, he couldn't help grinning, and said with a wry smile: "Lord, call Kui here, I don't know what to order?" ”

"You go and invite Ma Jun, the master craftsman, to come at once, and say that Madame has something to ask him to come and discuss...... Oh, looks like you're busy tonight! ”

Li Kui smiled bitterly and bowed down to answer the order.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Yu'er were obviously specially trained by Huang Yueying, and when they sorted out their notes, they were classified and quite organized.

A box is placed one by one, and the corresponding signs are written on the boxes.

Dong took out a box, sat down, took out a stack of notes from it, and looked at it seriously. Some of these notes were written by Huang Yueying herself, some were dictated by her, and it is famous who wrote them, which is clear at a glance, and it can be said that it is very clear.

From the emergence of the idea of printing, to the formation of block printing, and then to the improvement of it......

Each step is recorded in great detail. Successes, Failures...... Huang Yueying's rigorous attitude in this regard can be seen.

If this movable type printing technology can be fully popularized, it is difficult for Dong to imagine what kind of changes will occur in this era.

What an amazing woman!

He sighed in his heart, and at the same time faintly gave birth to gratitude. God handed over such a wonderful woman to me, how should I repay it?

Big brother digging mines is out of the palace!
