The day after the turmoil in the Hanlin Academy, the ministers did not go to the early court, so the affairs of the Hanlin Academy only spread among a few people, and did not make a big fuss, after all, the people involved were the sons of the powerful, and no one dared to offend them if they were fine.

And on this day, Cheng Chumo took the movable type printing made by Tang Zhou for him to the Hanlin Academy.

After coming to the Hanlin Academy, he directly followed Yu Chi Baolin, Qin Huaidao and Duan Qi into the room where the four of them were going to copy the book.

At the beginning, Duan Jue hurriedly took out his book and copied it, he had read a lot of books on weekdays, so copying books was not a difficult task for him, but Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaidao were holding a brush, looking at the blank paper and couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and couldn't put down the pen for a long time.

And here, Cheng Chumo has already started to typeset according to the chapters of the Four Books and Five Classics, he put the lead blocks in his hand one by one, read a sentence and put a few, read a sentence and put a few.

Cheng Chumo's voice was quite loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaidao, who hurriedly ran over and asked, "Brother Cheng, how can you play with this thing without copying books?"

Cheng Chumo smiled, put the last movable type of the first chapter, and said with a smile: "You don't know this, I am printing with movable type, I don't need to copy books, I can print hundreds of copies a day, you can read it." ”

"Hundreds of books a day? Even fifty old gentlemen can't copy it so quickly. ”

"Yes, Brother Cheng is joking again."

"Go, whoever made a joke on you, you'll find out later." Cheng Chu said silently, poured ink on those movable types, and then spread the white seeds, and after a while, he took it down and took a look, although the font was not particularly beautiful, but it was still clear, and a chapter of a book was printed in this way.

Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaidao were amazed.

"Brother Cheng, what did you just say this thing is?"

"Movable type printing."

"Movable type printing? It's a great feeling......"

Before Yu Chi Baolin's words were finished, Cheng Chumo hurriedly said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's quickly print hundreds of copies of this chapter, maybe it will be printed tomorrow, and it won't delay us to go to Fireworks Alley to be happy at all." ”

"Yes, yes, let's print it quickly."

The sons of these generals didn't like to dance and ink, but now they saw that this method allowed them not to copy the book, and there were so many of them, so they hurriedly helped to print it on the side, so in half a column of incense time, the first chapter of a book was printed in hundreds of copies.

The three of them were surprised to see that the efficiency was really high, so the enthusiasm for printing was even higher, and Duan Jue, who had been copying books stupidly, saw this, and didn't want to continue copying books, so he quickly threw himself in.

At the end of the day, the four of them had already printed a lot.

The next day, after Cheng Yanjin went to the early court, Cheng Chumo came to the Hanlin Academy with movable type printing, still according to yesterday's situation, the four of them printed frantically, so that around the end of the day, Cheng Chumo's 100 copies of the Four Books and Five Classics have been printed, and several other people have also begun to print.

And just when a few of them started printing like this, Cheng Chumo took his own printing and went to find Kong Yingda and Princess Danyang, this Hanlin Academy was very depressed, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, he had already left it for Yu Chi Baolin and them, and he was leaving.

Kong Yingda and Princess Danyang looked at the large stack of papers that Cheng Chumo had taken, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but when they checked the papers one by one, they found that this was indeed a hundred copies of the Four Books and Five Classics.

However, these two people were both people with eyes like torches, and they soon discovered something unusual, that is, the handwriting on each piece of paper was the same, and it didn't look like a copy at all, in their opinion, even the person who imitated the handwriting the most could not write two identical words, but on these pieces of Cheng Chumo's paper, every same word on every book turned out to be the same.

Just when Kong Yingda and Princess Danyang were suspicious, Cheng Chu smiled silently: "Mr. Kong, Princess Danyang, now that I have finished copying, can I leave?" ”

Kong Yingda had a bitter face, according to the rules, he could indeed leave after copying a hundred copies, and he had no right to stop Cheng Chumo.

But Princess Danyang understands Li Shimin's intention to let these powerful children copy books here, and if others also copy them as quickly as Cheng Chumo, then her imperial brother's plan will lose its meaning.

So at this time, Princess Danyang said in a slightly cold tone: "Did you let someone copy it from the outside and bring it in to make up the number?" ”

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted wronged: "Your Royal Highness Princess, when I come in every day, someone searches my body, how can I bring so much paper in, these are all said that you prepared paper for me, I don't believe you can verify it." ”

The paper of the Hanlin Courtyard cannot be forged by paper from other places, Kong Yingda checked it carefully, and then nodded to Princess Danyang.

And after Princess Danyang saw this, she became more and more surprised in her heart, so many people, even a hundred people, it is unlikely that so many books can be copied in two days, and the same words on each book are still the same.

After pondering for a moment, Princess Danyang spoke: "Princess Ben doesn't believe that you have copied so many books in just two days, you had better explain what is going on, otherwise when Princess Ben investigates it, the result will be very serious." ”

Cheng Chumo was not worried about the result, he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, these are not copied by me, but printed by myself." ”

"Printed?" Princess Danyang was even more puzzled, she had never heard of book printing.

But Cheng Chumo nodded again and again, and then took Princess Danyang to their room, when they entered, Yu Chi Baolin and they were still printing and printing, and a book was printed in a while.

After reading it, Princess Danyang was amazed, he quickly realized that this thing may have a change in the future readers, if the book can be printed quickly, without being copied by hand, then it will also reduce a lot of costs, and then the cost of the book will also be reduced, the cost of the book is low, and there will naturally be more people who can afford the book.

In this way, there will be more readers, and won't all the children of the poor families in the world be able to afford books and books?

"What kind of technique did you just say?" Princess Danyang's eyes had a glint in them.

"Movable type printing."

"Who got it?"

After Princess Danyang asked, Yu Chi Baolin and the others glanced at each other, and at this time they realized that they hadn't had time to ask who had invented this thing.

Cheng Chumo hesitated, his practical thing was suspected of cheating, he didn't know if it would cause Princess Danyang's anger after confessing Tang Zhou, but he saw that Princess Danyang was just a little excited, and thought that although this thing was invented by Tang Zhou, it was him who could be used, even if Princess Danyang was angry, Tang Zhou should not be involved, so in the end he chose to answer honestly.

"It's Tang Zhou."
