Chapter 221 Talking to a fool lowers your IQ
Originally, Junma should send more entourage to Chang'an, at least someone should take care of his diet and daily life, but Huo Guang didn't want so many people to follow, usually Wang Yi alone already made him uncomfortable, if a group of people followed, it would be better to stay at home and sleep. At his insistence, he only brought a tail that could not be dropped in the end, Wang Yi.
On a cool morning in the autumn breeze, in the reluctant eyes of Rong'an and everyone in the house, Huo Guang left Wancheng, there was nothing reluctant in his heart, just to do some business, he knew in his heart that as long as he stared at the font mold used to make the first set of movable type printing, even if he retired with honor, even if he retired honorably, he had no patent rights or patent fees, of course, the most important thing was that he didn't want it.
It's not that he admits it, but this kind of invention does have a lot in his mind, and it is also a good thing to promote it nationwide, and at present, he really has nothing to ask Emperor Wu for without worrying about food and clothing.
There are important things to do, and the speed of the two of them is also very fast, and when they return to Chang'an again, Huo Guang's mood is not the same, although Chang'an is not his home, this world is strange, but there is still a person living here, so Huo Guang has a feeling of returning to his hometown in his heart.
Huo Quzhi knew very early that his younger brother Huo Guang was coming back, so he went out of the city early to greet him, what he didn't expect was that his younger brother came back from Beiguan with just a guard, the road was so far away, he felt scared when he thought about it, if he was sick on the road, no one would take care of him, anyway, he came back, and the brothers walked to the general's mansion while chatting about their daily routines.
When he returned to the General's Mansion, he only made a short stay, Huo Guang came back this time for movable type printing, and Emperor Wu asked him to come back, so he naturally wanted to see the emperor first.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that there was one more person in the main hall besides Emperor Wu and the familiar civil and military officials.
Huo Guang didn't see him at first, and the first thing he did when he entered the hall was, of course, to meet Emperor Wu, and then he listened to some polite words from Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu shushed and asked for warmth.
No matter what Emperor Wu asked, Huo Guang also answered fluently, and there was nothing to hide, because they were all trivial matters that did not need to be hidden, and what made him strange was that His Majesty did not mention movable type printing from beginning to end.
He didn't notice that there was a person watching him all the time, just when he thought that he was just meeting the emperor today, there was nothing else important, and he could continue to go back to the general's mansion to catch up with Huo Quai's illness after saying a few words, a strange voice sounded beside him.
"I heard that Gunma has developed movable type printing, can you give us an eye-opener?" Jin Judong, the general of Qin Korea, has been observing this weak county horse who looks handsome like a woman in his eyes, and has long heard that this person once had miraculous feats in the battle against the Huns, and won the second prince of the Wa Kingdom in the Biwen Competition, and in Jin Judong's heart, Huo Guang would never look like this.
When he saw Huo Guang for the first time, he put a label on this praised godlike county horse in his heart, which was useless, and it was estimated that the legends spread outside were also false.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice beside him, Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, and then turned slightly sideways to see the man next to him, and it was not difficult to guess that this was probably a "foreign friend". The corners of Huo Guang's mouth hooked slightly, and he didn't answer his words.
Huo Guang naturally won't say this kind of thing, the emperor and the ministers have any reason to answer this kind of thing, movable type printing was originally his own voluntary dedication, and he has already carried forward his noble character, what does it have to do with himself after that.
His ignorance made Jin Judong a little embarrassed, the key thing was that what he said was obviously provocative, Huo Guang ignored it, and others ignored him, and for a while the hall became extremely quiet, this embarrassing atmosphere shrouded the entire hall, Jin Judong completely dug a pit and buried himself, and others didn't want to help him out of the siege.
This kind of thing that his own people don't suffer, Emperor Wu turned a blind eye, and the question of the generals of Qin and Korea did not return to Qin, let alone the issue of etiquette, Emperor Wu decided to continue to pretend that he didn't hear.
Originally, Jin Judong just wanted to have a quick tongue, and he just had to play a few words, but unfortunately this opponent not only didn't mean to accompany him, but also didn't take him seriously at all, the biggest shame for him was indifference, and people didn't even have the idea of quarreling with him, which was already the highest state of contempt.
Meaning, you still want to tease me? In my heart, you're not qualified. Huo Guang not only ignored him, but didn't even give Jin Judong a look, this first meeting made Jin Judong angry.
No one paid attention to him, but to save face, he continued, "Is the so-called printing machine just a legend, and the county horse did not invent it at all, and the Han did not have movable type printing?" ”
There was silence in the hall, to be honest, no one had ever seen this movable type printing, and everyone had heard that the county horse in Beiguan had invented this movable type printing, and then sent a sample of the production process and method to Chang'an, but what the real printing tool looked like, everyone had never seen it.
When Jin Judong made such a question, the officials were quiet, and looked at Jun Ma Huoguang with an expectant and complicated gaze.
Huo Guang calmly glanced at Jin Judong, this person who didn't even know his name, openly said that his invention was fabricated, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't quarrel with fools, which would reduce his IQ, but if Huo Guang didn't say anything at the moment, he seemed to be suspicious of weakness.
He didn't squint, turned a deaf ear to Jin Judong's provocation just now, and said directly to Emperor Wu, "Huo Guang came here this time to promote movable type printing to the whole country, and today he can make a set of character molds for His Majesty to try first." ”
Jin Judong's eyes widened subconsciously, Huo Guang was telling him in another way that he had not only really invented movable type printing, but also could produce it quickly.
I can't help but believe Jin Judong, because there will be a loud slap in the face right away.
Huo Guang didn't even ask for important tools, as long as he wrote clay, it was almost impossible in Jin Judong's eyes, Huo Guang was under his nose, and he only brought a guard to complete all the font molds for movable type printing.
"This is the typeface, and the key to printing is to rely on these typefaces, and then you only need typesetting and printing." Huo Guang showed all the onlookers the character model he had just made, and of course, these people also included Emperor Wu and Jin Judong.
"What's the use of just having a word mold, who knows if this thing can really be printed."
