Chapter 072: Movable Type Printing Comes Out
Midwinter.
The wind was cold and the snow was falling.
Xuanyuan Wei died, and it has been two months in the blink of an eye.
On behalf of the emperor, the imperial historian accepted the affairs of hundreds of officials, managed important national atlases and classics, and drafted edicts and documents on behalf of the imperial court. When Prime Minister Murong Zhen was also alive, whenever he discussed military affairs, Xia Yongmei would summon him and the imperial historian Xuanyuan Wei.
After Murong Zhen was martyred, according to the convention, Xuanyuan Wei, the imperial historian, took over the post of prime minister, but this did not happen later.
Although he did not take over as prime minister, he did the duties of prime minister. Xuanyuan Wei was martyred in Murong Zhen, the Shengjing Dynasty was destroyed, and after arriving in the Page Kingdom, he basically performed two duties at the same time.
But now, the two important ministers have been damaged, and the Shengjing Dynasty has lost its two pillars. What does the road ahead be?
This is not only considered by Xia Yongmei, Xia Wanyi and others, but also by the monarch of the page country, down to the common people, and even by Xia Yongxu and other rebels.
In the middle of winter, it seems that everything is so quiet.
Wrapped in silver, but it also has a beautiful view.
Xia is located in the Central Plains, and it also snows, but compared to the more northern country of Page, it is a small thing.
As soon as it was dawn, there was a sound of laughter like silver bells in the courtyard.
Xia Wanyi and Mu Tianyue got up, and after washing the villa, they opened the door and looked at it at a glance.
Murong Jia, Zhao Xuanxuan, Song Feifei, Li Xing'er, Li Ling'er, Xia Ruyi, Xuanyuan Yu, Liang Shu, and Xiaoyu are having a snowball fight!
"Boom!"
Xia Wanyi, who was a little fascinated, suddenly felt a white shadow flying in, and before she could react, she was hit in the chest.
"Oh!"
The nine people were surprised to think about Xia Wanyi and Mu Tianyue.
"Shu'er, you voted so accurately......" Xiaoyu quipped to Liang Shu.
Liang Shu said cautiously like a kitten who had made a mistake: "Uncle, I ...... I didn't mean to. ”
"Huh!" Xia Wanyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, you little girl, you actually smashed your uncle and me!" ”
Saying that, Xia Wanyi went down the stairs at the door, immediately grabbed a handful of snow, and went towards Liang Shu.
"Wow!" Liang Shu shouted, so she simply made the first move, and smashed a snowball over, which was right on Xia Wanyi's shoulder.
It turned out that in her other hand, there was also a snowball!
The addition of Xia Wanyi made the scene hot. For a while, there were snowballs, and I didn't know who to smash, so I just smashed people when I saw them!
Mu Tianyue couldn't bear it anymore and joined the melee.
Xia Wan is a real southerner in the 21st century, so I have basically never seen any snow, but I have seen a lot of hail!
Until he went to the north to study in college, but when he was in college, because of the extreme weather, he didn't see snow all winter, but he dealt with haze every day, and when he saw the aunt dancing in the square, he thought there was a supernatural event!
And that's not the key, the key thing is that he crossed in his sophomore year!
So, this winter in the country of the page is the first time he has seen it in his life!
……
There was a snowball fight for about half an hour, and then a few more people built a few snowmen, and then they clapped their hands and patted their butts and went to breakfast.
At the dinner table, meetings can be held almost all the time.
Therefore, after Xia Yongmei took a seat, she asked Xia Wanyi: "Wanyi, how have you been preparing lately?" ”
Hearing this, the men present didn't feel anything, but a few beautiful women, big and small, with blushing faces!
Why is this so?
Because, what Xia Yongmei asked was - the release of "Golden Vase Plum"!
Xia Wanyi nodded solemnly and replied: "The preparations have been completed, and it is almost time to print!" ”
"So, movable type printing has worked well?" Zong Qinglin, who was sitting on the side, didn't blush.
"Yes." Xia Wanyi replied, and then took out a thin book from his arms, "This is printed with movable type printing. ”
Xia Yongmei took a look, and the cover read: "Dominating the world" with four slightly larger words, and next to it were four slightly smaller words "Late Son".
I flipped open the cover and took a look.
"What is this?" Xia Yongmei frowned, "Novel? ”
"Hey, hey." Xia Wanyi replied, "I have nothing to do recently, and I have written some chapters." ”
Nodding, Xia Yongmei said with satisfaction: "Not bad." The name of this 'late son' is quite suitable for you. ”
Embarrassment.
Xia Wanyi changed the topic: "Dad, my son wants to show you the effect of printing." ”
"Don't you look fascinated." Xia Yongmei replied embarrassedly, "The movable type printing technique is really exquisite, although it is a little large compared to the font of the "Golden Vase Plum" in your hand, but compared with the engraving printing technology, it has made great progress. ”
Xia Wanyi raised her eyebrows.
If you want to compare with the published books of the 21st century, there is no way to compare, and the technical content is not on the same level.
However, there is always a process, and movable type printing is a bridge-like process, and although it cannot be compared with modern laser phototypesetting technology, it is definitely a landmark masterpiece!
"Dad, movable type printing is definitely a milestone process, I'm sure, it will change the world!"
Xia Yongmei smiled: "Actually, I also wanted to say so, but you said it first." ”
He closed the book and said, "Then spread the word!" But ......"
"But, what?" Xia Wanyi looked at Xia Yongmei curiously.
Xia Yongmei cleared her throat: "The birth of new things will always have its advantages, so let's use it to print "Golden Vase Plum" to get a sum of money, and then talk about it, over time, this printing technology will also attract everyone's attention, we must strictly control the technology, do technology transfer." ”
Xia Wanyi listened to Xia Yongmei's words and admired them so much!
This is simply the true nature of a capitalist!
Isn't Emperor Lao Tzu's thinking a little ahead of his time?!
However, Xia Wan likes it!
"Dad, don't worry, I have arranged all the technicians, and I am absolutely loyal." For technical personnel, Xia Wanyi is "high salary and incorruptible", and when the money is enough for you, you will do things well.
This is to prevent some businessmen from bribing technicians to get the technology. At the same time, Xia Wanyi also implements a reporting system, once someone accepts bribes or leaks, once it is verified, it will be severely punished.
As for a businessman who comes to buy technology, Xia Wanyi will personally send his cronies to talk to him, and if he talks about peace, he will transfer technology, and if the talk collapses, he will pat his ass and leave.
Resolutely the style of a small company!
The chairman is Xia Yongmei, and the chief president is Xia Wanyi. And Mu Tianyue, Zhao Xuanxuan, Murong Jia, Li Xinger, and Song Feifei form a five-person manager team!
"Now that movable type printing has been properly used, you should choose a day to print." Xia Yongmei said.
"Well, it won't be long before "Golden Vase Plum" comes out." Xia Wanyi glanced at several beauties.
Several beauties ignored him and ate by themselves.
