Chapter 185: It's Not That Simple

In the system, printing is divided into two types, one is engraving printing, and the other is movable type printing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Engraving printing appeared in the Tang Dynasty period of Zhang Yu's previous life, mainly refers to the writing of the manuscript after the sample is written, so that the side with the word is attached to the board for engraving, the carver uses different forms of carving knives to carve the reverse character ink on the woodblock into a raised Yang, and at the same time the remaining blank part on the woodblock is removed, so that it is concave, the words carved on the board surface are slightly prominent, and then some cleaning is carried out, and the engraving process is completed.

When printing, use a cylindrical flat bottom brush dipped in ink, evenly brush on the board surface, and then carefully cover the paper on the board surface, and gently brush the paper with a brush, and the text or picture will be printed on the paper. Remove the paper from the printing plate, dry it in the shade, and the printing is over. A printer can usually print 1500~2000 sheets a day, and a printing plate can be printed 10,000 times in a row, and its efficiency can be seen.

As for movable type printing, it can be said to be an upgraded version of woodblock printing. One of the real four great inventions is not the general category of printing, but specifically for movable type printing. Its inventor is more well-known, and it is the famous little commoner Bi Sheng.

Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, once described the method of making movable type in his famous work "Mengxi Pen Talk", namely: "Engraving words with clay, as thin as a money lip, each word is a seal, and the fire makes it strong", "often make two iron plates, one plate is printed, and one plate has been clothed", "each rhyme is a post, and the wooden grid is stored".

This kind of movable type printing avoids the deficiency of engraving, as long as enough single movable type is prepared in advance, it can be imimposed at any time, greatly speeding up the plate-making time, and this printing technology saves time when printing tens of millions of books. After the movable type plate is printed, it can also be disassembled, the movable type can be reused, and the movable type occupies less space than the engraving plate, which is easier to store and keep, which is its superiority.

In the system, the price of block printing is 4,500 points, while the price of movable type printing is as high as 6,000 points. Zhang Yu pondered for a while, but directly chose the one-step movable type printing. After all, when this thing is combined with his current papermaking skills, the effect will be extremely terrifying.

As for the reputation points consumed, they will be harvested to their heart's content. Although Zhang Yu didn't dare to boast about Haikou and regarded it as just a string of numbers, it was no problem to recover the cost and make another one.

With a feather fan, Zhang Yu said eloquently: "Since this movable type printing method is still my first creation, its effect still needs to be tested in practice, but using this printing technology to make books, hundreds of copies a day should be safe." ”

"Hundreds of copies...... And not hundreds of pages?! If he hadn't known that Zhang Yu couldn't have read the book, Guo Jia would definitely think that this person was crazy and crazy, and he was a fool and a dream.

"Probably so." Zhang Yu touched his chin, he didn't know how effective this movable type printing was, so he could only estimate and report a number.

"All use jade paper?!"

"Otherwise, why do you think I make paper, and I still lack money to spend? Isn't it just for the benefit of the people? This is my Zhang Yu's ideal, okay? ”

"Yulang, do you know that if this thing can really be as you say, it can easily produce tens of millions of books, what does this mean for the world!?" Guo Jia's little white face flushed excitedly, "This can be regarded as the grace of preaching and teaching, no one in the world will be overwhelmed by you Yulang, and the rise of Wuji Pavilion can be counted and waited!" ”

"Do you still need to say this? Calm down, be calm!

Fengxiao, it's not me talking about you, don't look at how old you are and how old I am, but this encounter is still too frizzy and can't calm down, how can it be a big deal? A little-"

"How is this made?"

Guo Jia didn't pay attention to Zhang Yu's words at all, and after a while, he calmed down and looked at the version of the clay characters intently.

"That's it......"

"Since it has just been made, why are your hands clean and there are no traces of mud on the ground?"

"I did it out there!"

"Can you take a look?"

"No, this is like the jade paper workshop, except for me, the second person can enter, forgive me."

Guo Jia looked at Zhang Yu with a smile, saw that he was a little hairy in his heart, and then picked up the clay plate and played with it for a long time.

"No matter what, this is the work of eternity, and I will thank Yulang for the world."

"It's not just scholars." Zhang Yu shook his head, "My ideal is to hope that more people can have books and knowledge.

Books are the ladder of progress for the people; Knowledge can change the fate of those who are gifted and unconditional. Books and knowledge should not be firmly controlled by scholars, this is a right that everyone in the world should enjoy.

There are so many talented people from poor families, why should they lose the opportunity to change their lives because of their status? ”

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he turned his back and fanned for a while, but he didn't wait for Guo Jia's admiration and excitement as expected.

"Gyokuro."

Zhang Yu twisted back, but saw an extremely serious face.

"Jia, I don't support you doing this."

"Why?" Zhang Yu was stunned.

If others disagree, Zhang Yu fully understands, but this is Guo Jia, Guo Jia, who is half a child of a poor family!

Guo Jia is not from a poor family, he is a son of the Guo family in Yingchuan. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to make friends such as Xun Yu and Xin Ping.

However, although he is a side branch of the Guo family in Yingchuan, and he still has a close brotherly relationship with Guo Tu, who has a bad stomach and crooked eyes, maybe because of his personality or for other reasons, he has never been valued by the family, and he has grown up from childhood to adulthood.

Now Zhang Yu's papermaking and printing technology, which obviously benefits the poor family, has not yet caused the world to shake and the literati to rejoice, but it was denied by Guo Jia, a "person of the same kind", in this hut, which really made Zhang Yu very puzzled.

"There are many talented people from poor families, and this is quite profound. But that's why the book can't flow into it. ”

Zhang Yu seemed to understand something.

"Yulang is a smart man, and he should know the power of the family now. Will they watch you give this book to the poor, so that they will have the knowledge and the qualifications to stand on the stage with them?

Chessboard, there are only so many positions. If you drop one, you have to squeeze out three, or even one, and no one will allow you to do that. Besides, Hanmen has no strength to speak of, and it is definitely not a force that can be relied on.

Your move is tantamount to issuing ordnance and weapons for the Han family, which is raising your arms to snatch the family's job and the foundation of the family! Although you have been appreciated by Yuan Shao today, given you a transcendent status, and even have the title of county marquis, and the prestige of Shilin is excellent, if this thing comes true, then those scholars who praise you now will draw their swords against each other in an instant.

If you and I have never known each other, then Yulang's move is what I like to see, but now that you and I know each other, these words have to be explained in advance, and I hope Yulang will consider it carefully. ”
