Chapter 12 Movable Type Printing

"Jia'er?" Xia Wanyi saw Murong Jia's brows frowning slightly for a while, and biting her lip for a while, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her.

"Huh?" Coming back to his senses, Murong Jia said, "The book is at the entrance of the cave, and the concubine will get it for you." After saying that, he got up and wanted to walk out of the cave.

"Well, wait a minute." Xia Wanyi took Murong Jia's hand, "You have difficulty moving, so I'd better go." ”

Murong Jia blushed again and bowed her head shyly.

Xia Wanyi smiled "hehe", walked outside the cave, and took the book back.

Looking at this Ming Dynasty book that is as inconsistent with military flashlights and parachute bags as the firelight, I think of why 100,000 are floating.

It is a fact that someone has crossed over here before him, and this person has crossed over as a whole person, not as soul-piercing as he is.

This book was published on Taiwan Island, could it be that he is from Taiwan? Judging by the parachute and military flashlight, or a military man?

Turning to the title page, in addition to the few printed bodies, Xia Wanyi saw a handwritten word "Xi", and there was a line of small characters below Xi: Purchased on Taiwan Island in 2010.

The word is simplified, so people can rule out that they are from Taiwan, and it is estimated that someone else traveled to Taiwan Island and bought this book by the way.

"Huh?" Xia Wanyi stood up suddenly, almost startling Murong Jia, who was quietly watching him think.

"Wait for me here." After that, he took the book and turned around and ran outside the cave, and found "Lao Tzu has crossed, and the gods and horses are all floating clouds!" This sentence.

Now when he took a closer look, he found that the vague inscription was also a Xi character, but some of the strokes could not be found at all if he didn't look carefully. And after the word Xi, there is another word, but this character looks less stroked, like the radical month, and like the radical day.

"So, this person should be surnamed Xi." Xia Wanyi closed the book and said silently in her heart, "There are too many people with the surname Xi, and there is a classmate surnamed Xi in my class when I was in junior high school." ”

If this man is here now, then where has he gone?

Xia Wanyi found a sharp stone and carved it on the trunk of the tree under the modern saying: January 2015, with the crossing! Summer evening.

In the end, Xia Wanyi walked back to the cave.

Murong Jia looked at Xia Wanyi curiously: "What did you find?" ”

Turning the title page of the book, Xia Wan pointed to the word "Xi" and said: "The sentence I saw in the osmanthus tree just now was written by this person surnamed Xi." ”

"Oh." Murong Jia nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Why is the printing of this book so strange?" ”

"Huh? What's so strange? Xia Wanyi asked rhetorically.

Although Murong Jia was embarrassed to look at this book, he still took it: "Now the books in Shenzhou are not as small as this book, and the paper is much worse than this book, I don't know how this book is done?" ”

When Xia Wanyi heard Murong Jia say this, her heart suddenly became excited: "This is a product of the 21st century, what flies in the sky and walks on the ground, can't it be made like that?" Not to mention the printing industry. Hey, the printing industry ......"

Suddenly, he thought of something, so he asked, "Jia'er, do you know that there is a person named Bi Sheng?" ”

"Bi Sheng?" Murong Jia looked puzzled.

Looking at Murong Jia's expression, Xia Wanyi secretly scolded herself with an elm head. This world is not that he has studied the ancient times in history, but a different world that has been forked, and it is normal for Murong Jia not to know Bi Sheng.

So, there shouldn't be movable type printing in this world, right?!

Xia Wanyi felt a little helpless in her heart, after all, the residual consciousness in her previous life was limited, and it didn't matter if this matter didn't remain, she didn't even have the impression that Murong Jia was still a chick, it seemed that she had to pay a little attention.

"Hehe, I once heard that this person is a bookshop carver in the south, he carves finely, and he must be able to do it, but he is no longer alive, what a pity." Xia Wanyi said with a haha, but he had already begun to brew in his heart to promote movable type printing in this world, and if he got this, it would be certain for eternity.

Murong Jia asked, "Then did he accept apprentices?" ”

Xia Wanyi sighed regretfully and said, "It's a pity that he died without accepting apprentices." ”

"God is jealous of talents." Murong Jia also said regretfully.

Blinking, Xia Wanyi said: "I have a way to change the printing industry, do you want to listen?" ”

Murong Jia was aroused: "What method?" ”

"This method is called 'movable type printing', I have been thinking about it for a long time, even if I was imprisoned in the Qi country, I am also thinking about this method, I will tell you about it."

Then Xia Wanyi almost didn't move a brick to mark that he was a brick, and said to Murong Jia: "You can use cement to make blanks with the same specifications for each specification, and engrave anti-body words at one end, and carve a few more common words, the height of the stroke protrusion of the word is the same as the thickness of the edge of the copper coin, and after the carving, burn these blanks with fire, so that the cement movable type is done."

When it is not used for printing, it is arranged in a certain order, such as according to the stroke or rhyme, when it is used, the words that need to be printed are selected and placed in a board frame, painted with something to fix it, and then the ink is on it, and then it is embossed on the paper. ”

"In this way, movable type printing can replace the current engraving printing, wouldn't it allow more ancient books to be preserved?" After Xia Wanyi finished speaking, Murong Jia said excitedly.

Xia Wanyi is happy in his heart, crossing really has an advantage, with the skills of knowing some things in later generations, he can do a lot of industry ancestors, take movable type printing as an example, he is just fried old rice.

Smiling, Xia Wanyi said, "Of course, this is just one of them. In addition, bookstores can increase production, not only promote economic development, but also promote cultural development, which can also enrich the country and strengthen the people. ”

Murong Jia was very happy to hear it, she felt that Xia Wanyi had really changed as if she had changed a person, although the previous prince also had many advantages, but compared to the current advantages, it was still insignificant. Now in terms of knowledge, Xia Wanyi impresses her.

However, she was still a little worried: "But will this give those high-spirited scholars a chance to take advantage of the rise of the printing industry to criticize state affairs?" ”

Belch? Murong Jia's words made Xia Wanyi stunned for a while, and she found herself standing at a different angle from her. He considered the development role of the printing industry entirely with modern ideas, while Murong Jia was worried about the disadvantages of the printing industry with feudal ideas.

Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, and the literary prison in the early Qing Dynasty were all the rulers' suppression and destruction of culture. This is extremely detrimental to the development of future generations.

Now that he has come here, he has become someone else's prince like an upstart, and he is among the ruling class, so before he becomes the emperor, he has to think about it clearly, otherwise he will lose everything if he makes a mistake. There are too many examples in ancient times that are worth learning from, such as the Shang Dynasty change, the Wang Anshi change, and so on.

Hey, so why not set up a department like the "State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television" to oversee it?

Although future generations have been complaining about this department of the Celestial Empire in their dreams, it is possible to change the name and functions here, and manage the publishing industry.

After thinking about it, Xia Wanyi said: "We can set up a yamen dedicated to managing the printing industry to supervise and manage the bookstore." ”

Murong Jia added dry firewood to the fire and looked at Xia Wanyi with appreciation: "The prince has a very good idea. ”

"That's it, don't look at the palace to learn five cars, talented eight buckets, eight buckets," Xia Wanyi said a lot ......of words.
