Seeing Liu Zhang, everyone hurriedly saluted, but they were all a little stunned, because they had never seen Liu Zhang so diligent! However, Liu Zhang didn't care, waved them to sit down, and waited for everyone to arrive. www.biquge.info Of course, Liu Zhang couldn't sit still, so he chatted with the person who arrived first.

"Everyone is here, let's start today's court meeting!" Liu Zhang could see that except for a few cronies who often contacted him, everyone else was very restrained. When Guo Jia and Pang Tong Shi Ran walked into the hall, he ordered the court meeting to begin.

"Lord, the movable type printing technology you let us develop has been successful, and I am here to report to you!" In ancient times, it was no longer appropriate for a woman to show her face, and if she participated in the court meeting, it was Si Chen. Therefore, to report on the task that movable type printing has been completed, it is natural to let Liu Ye, who is in charge of the equipment, play!

"Ziyang, don't be polite, thank you for your hard work!" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Since it has been successful, can you demonstrate it here?" ”

"Absolutely!" Liu Ye said with a smile: "Please ask Mr. Huang and the developer of printing technology to demonstrate for the public!" ”

"Good! Please, two! Liu Zhang's face was full of excitement and ordered, and soon a soldier walked into the hall carrying a bunch of instruments, and the last one was Huang Chengyan and a young man!

"See... See... Qin... Gong Qin..."Before Huang Chengyan could speak, the young man knelt on the ground with a puff, and his mouth stammered a little.

"Don't be nervous! Your research on movable type printing is not only due to me, but also to the world! Seeing that the young man stammered, Liu Zhang thought he was nervous, so he comforted him.

"Under ... No... Nervous..."The young man said that he was not nervous, but his mouth was still stammering, which made everyone frown.

"Qi Qin Gong, Deheng is born to stutter, not nervous!" After getting along with the young man for a long time, Huang Chengyan naturally knew the situation and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Deheng?" Liu Zhang frowned, feeling that the name was very familiar. Suddenly, he remembered the famous mechanical inventor in history, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "You are the Fufeng man Ma Junzi Deheng?" ”

"Duke Qin knows me?" Ma Jun raised his head sharply and looked at Liu Zhang with surprise and joy.

"I don't know, but I've heard of it!" Liu Zhang smiled: "Deheng, please get up!" ”

"Xie Qin Gong!" Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't seem to be a fake, and Ma Jun didn't understand people, although he was a little excited, he still stood up!

"Deheng, why don't you introduce these devices to me carefully? If you do a good job, I have a task for you! It was Ma Jun, Liu Zhang was very excited. He dared to say that as long as there is an idea, Ma Jun can make it, but it can't be too ahead of the times. If you want Ma Jun to build a steam engine or a generator, it shouldn't be possible!

"It's rude!" Speaking of equipment, Ma Jun was very excited, he was like a fanatical scientist, carefully explaining the equipment of movable type printing for Liu Zhang. But although Liu Zhang knows movable type printing, Ma Jun's explanation is completely like a chicken talking to a duck for him!

"Deheng, if you say this, everyone naturally doesn't understand, I wonder if you can demonstrate it?" It doesn't matter if you don't understand machinery, Liu Zhang just wants the result, let Ma Jun make a demonstration, as long as he is not blind, he will understand the benefits of movable type printing.

"Of course you can, what does Duke Qin want to print?" Scanning everyone, I saw that except for Liu Ye and Huang Chengyan, all the ministers were confused, even the proposer Liu Zhang was a little confused, and Ma Jun also felt that it was best to demonstrate!

"Just print this!" picked up two copies of the fold from the case and threw them to Ma Jun, Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Print the first copy first, let everyone here have a copy, and then print the second copy!" ”

"Yes!" After receiving the fold, Ma Jun turned on the machine, first applied wax in the large plate where the movable type was placed, then put the characters on according to the fold, and then roasted the wax with fire. I pressed the plate hard, and after the wax cooled down, the word was fixed. Apply the ink and start printing. In less than half an hour, the two copies were distributed to the people.

"This..."Everyone was stunned when they looked at the music fold in their hands, especially the minister who felt that the engraving was already a miraculous skill. They looked at Ma Jun and Liu Zhang, and then looked at the printed folds in their hands, and seemed to be a little disbelieving. However, Ma Jun suddenly said something that made them cry and laugh.

"Gong Qin, in fact, the effect of this printing is not good, Miss Huang is developing ink according to the materials provided by the fourth lady. I believe that it will not be long before what is printed will be clearer! Seeing the results in his hands, others were almost stunned, Ma Jun was still not satisfied!

"Good!" Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Deheng, I want to keep you as an official in Chang'an, are you willing?" ”

"I am willing to serve the Duke of Qin!" Ma Jun has liked to study equipment since he was a child, and he stutters and is not good at communicating with people, so the chance of becoming an official is very slim. He heard that Liu Zhang attached great importance to machinery and recruited craftsmen, so he came to Chang'an to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he had just entered the Zhaoxian Pavilion and was meeting Huang Chengyan recruiting, so he studied printing with Huang Chengyan.

In the research, Ma Jun conquered everyone from Liu Ye to Liu Ye with his superb skills, and was recommended by Huang Chengyan. But he came to study the equipment, and he didn't care about the official position, so he asked Huang Chengyan to recommend it after the research was successful, so as not to delay the research of printing. Huang Chengyan did not object, so Ma Jun did not meet Liu Zhang until now!

"Deheng, I know that you are good at equipment, you are working under Liu Ye, and all the equipment is under your control, I don't know what you think?" Make the best use of talents and materials, Ma Jun is good at manufacturing but not good at communication, he can only be a deputy, and he can't replace Liu Ye's position!

"Thank you Gong Qin!" Ma Jun hurriedly bowed and saluted, he understood what Liu Zhang meant, and he was very happy in his heart. If Liu Zhang really handed over Liu Ye's position to him, he would also have a headache!

"Ladies and gentlemen, movable type printing has been studied, and our reform is about to begin, do you have any opinions?" Standing up, Liu Zhang glanced at everyone, his eyes flashing with excitement!

"I can't wait!" A trace of excitement flashed in everyone's eyes, and they understood that reform is the prelude to reunification, and when the world is unified, it is the time when everyone has achieved fame!

"Good!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Deheng, this kind of printing press, I want to build 500 units, how much time do you need?" ”

"Qi Qi Qin Gong, if it is manufactured by a single person, it will take two months for one unit, and if it is manufactured on a large scale, it will take one month! Actually, things are not complicated, but it takes a little longer to engrave! When Ma Jun came to Liu Zhang's command, he had already seen the assembly line operation used to make equipment, and after careful observation, he also understood the principle.

"Good!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Feng Ma Jun is the Marquis of Guan Nei, and he is responsible for the manufacture of equipment!" ”

"Kannaihou?" Ma Jun was stunned, he didn't expect to be crowned a marquis just by creating a movable type printing technique. You must know that in the eyes of the people of the Han Dynasty, craftsmen are just cheap arts, and no matter how exquisite their skills are, they cannot be crowned marquis.

"What? Does Deheng feel that his official position is low? Liu Zhang knew the importance of movable type printing, he wanted to seal Ma Jun as a liehou, but Ma Jun was only in his twenties, if he was a liehou, he would not have to be sealed in the future, so he was sealed a guannei marquis. As for Zuo Bo, he has no other skills except for being able to make paper. It is said that his calligraphy is good, but no matter how good his calligraphy is, he can't make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, so Liu Zhang generously made him a liege.

"Nope! Qin Gong Dade, there is nothing to repay in the future, I..."Ma Jun was already stammering, and when he was excited, the whole person was speechless when he lay on the ground.

"Deheng, what is a mere Guan Neihou?" Seeing that Ma Jun was so excited, Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Do it well, you will be a liehou in the future, and I am willing to do it, as long as you can invent a device that makes the Han prosperous and powerful!" ”

"I am determined to live up to the expectations of Duke Qin!" Ma Jun knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

"That's it! No need to be polite! Liu Zhang said with a smile: "After the meeting is dismissed, you come with me, I still have something for you to study!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing that there were new things to get, Ma Jun's face was full of excitement, he knew that movable type printing and papermaking had Liu Zhang's advice, and he also wanted to get Liu Zhang's advice again to make some good things!

With a wave of his hand, Ma Jun stepped back, Liu Zhang turned his head and asked, "Zhen Yi, how is the paper made recently?" ”

Zhen Yi smiled bitterly: "Qi Qin Gong, the papermaking workshop has been built on the edge of the Qujiang River according to your instructions, with the guidance of Uncle Zuo. However, the workshop has not yet been built, so there is no way to make paper! ”

"It's been two months, and you haven't built the workshop yet?" Liu Zhang's eyes were empty, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. With paper, the printing press is useful, without paper, everything is empty talk!

"Qi Qi Qin Gong, we are short of manpower, so..." Seeing that Liu Zhang was a little angry, Zhen Yi shrank his neck and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend.

"Understaffed?" Liu Zhang sighed, he was really a little disappointed in Zhen Yi's ability, he raised his head and said, "Fengxiao, immediately order Jizhou Assassin Shi to send 50,000 foreign captives over and let them participate in the construction of the papermaking workshop." If it is done in advance, I can consider turning them into civilians! ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia immediately responded to the order, Liu Zhang captured a large number of foreigners, and those Xianbei people who ate people were reduced to permanent slaves, and they have been contributing to the construction of Youji and Sanzhou, and now they are also proficient, and they are just right to build workshops!

"My lord, do you need to keep things secret about paper and printing?" After Guo Jia retreated, Jia Xu stood up again. He understands the importance of paper and printing, and he doesn't want to be taken away by other princes!

"Yes!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The next announcement informs the people that they are not allowed to approach the place where the construction is underway, and immediately order the three thousand tiger guards to surround the place where the printing press is made, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my warrant, and those who leak secrets will destroy the nine clans, and the same is true for the paper workshop!" ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu asked, "What should I do if some people enter by mistake?" ”

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "If you are sure that it is not a fine annihilation, you will let it go." If you can't be sure, kill it..."
