Chapter 21 Movable Type Printing

In fact, the sales market does not need to be limited to Wang grandchildren. For example, you can make a booklet in a thread-bound booklet and use cheaper paper. It not only reduces the cost, but also makes it easy to make. In this way, ordinary literate people can also afford it, like this. ”

Gu Ren took the seventy-two stunt booklet in his hand.

(Books from the Tang Dynasty were in scroll form, just like Chinese paintings.) Some of them are opened and the pages are glued to the inside, like fish scales, which is called a whirlwind suit. This kind of book printing and binding process is cumbersome and expensive. Because of this, only dignitaries and dignitaries have a collection of books. Ordinary people generally can't afford to buy books. )

"yes, why didn't I think of that?"

Prince Ji took the booklet from Gu Ren's hand and looked at it curiously.

Xin Huangzi: "This idea is very good, but the main cost of engraving printing is not paper, but engraving mold. A page of a book requires a piece of engraving, and in the process of printing, as long as a word in the engraving is broken, the whole piece is completely wasted. ”

"Ashin has a point, and in fact it is."

Prince Ji returned the booklet to Gu Ren.

"Well, the problem is very simple, you make each word into a mold and fix it with yellow wax pine resin, and when you need to print it, arrange and combine them separately."

Gu Ren smiled slightly.

"Ahh

"That's right!"

"Wow, I didn't think of that."

Prince Xin, Prince Ji, and Dan Dan all looked at Gu Ren in surprise, and even the other prisoners in the number looked at Gu Ren in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster......

Since ancient times, printing has been done with a template, a page with a template, and after printing, the template is invalid. This is something that many people know. No one would have thought that a word would be made into a small square and finally lined up. In this case, isn't it possible to print any book at will?

"Gu Gongzi, you are simply a god idea!"

"I finally know, why can you write such a shocking masterpiece as Journey to the West. Childe, what is this printing technique called? ”

The two princes patted their ass.

"Well, let's call it movable type printing!"

Gu Ren smiled and muttered in his heart: All my life, your movable type printing patent invention belongs to someone, I'm sorry.

……

An hour later, Dandan and Prince Ji left the prison, and when they were leaving, Dandan told Gu Ren that he would definitely be released tomorrow at the latest.

……

The night passed.

The next morning, Gu Ren just woke up and washed his face. Let Li Er make a pot of tea, half lie on the chair, and open another book given to him by the old monk Shen Xu, "Kaiyuan Zhanjing".

Liu Si and several other prisoners lay on the ground doing push-ups, and Gu Ren told them when they could do a thousand push-ups in one breath before practicing the legendary seventh set of broadcast gymnastics would be effective.

At this time, several Xing Zhutou came in with a prisoner with a cloak and brought the prisoner to Gu Ren's number. Li Er and several other jailers followed.

Xing Zhutou was stunned for a moment when he saw that Gu Ren actually had a sleeping chair to lie on, a lamp, and tea to drink.

After explaining to Liu Si and asking him not to take care of the new suspect, he left.

"Xing Zhutou, what kind of royal law did this person commit?"

Li Er saw Xing Zhutou leave and asked.

"Stealing...... Li Er, I heard that your style here has not been very good lately. You see, that fake monk is a felony named by Master Kong and Lieutenant Hong, and as a result, you worship him like a master...... What kind of system is this, and is there any system! ”

Xing Zhutou reprimanded as he walked out.

"Boss, this situation is special, we must pay attention to it in the future! Didn't Childe tell you? ”

Li Er asked suspiciously.

"Nonsense!"

Xing Zhutou glared at Li Er and left.

Inside the trumpet, it was quiet, the flames of the oil lamps were jumping, and the new prisoner was a young man, whose hair was half-covered with his face, and there was a lot of dirt on his face.

Timidly stood at the position where he had just entered the door, looking at Gu Ren. He doesn't look like a prisoner, more like a beggar.

"Why did you come in?"

Liu Si asked habitually.

"Stealing...... Stealing ......"

The new prisoner replied nervously.

"Well, it's the eldest brother on the chair, go over and bow down, and then squat in the corner."

Liu Si was busy doing push-ups and gave a casual explanation to the new prisoner. When Xing Zhutou left, he said that he would take care of him, which meant not to beat him, and he didn't bother to teach the rules to the new prisoner.

"Oh......"

The new prisoner obediently walked up to Gu Ren's side, clenched his fists and bent down to bow three times.

"Little brother Mao Pai meets eldest brother."

"Hmmm......"

Gu Ren waved his hand, the rules in the number are basically like this, the first thing for newcomers to come in is to worship the boss.

The newcomer Mao Pai honestly squatted in the corner of the wall over there, watching Liu Si and the others on the ground doing push-ups. Soon an hour passed, Mao Pai squatted there, his legs and feet were numb, he couldn't squat anymore, and looked up at Gu Ren.

"Big brother, can I do that pose like them?"

Mao Pai asked in a low voice.

"Well, no!"

Gu Ren said lazily.

"For ...... Why...... No...... No way? ”

Mao Pai's voice was lower.

"Because you just came in, and you haven't been tried yet, you can't be counted as a person in the number."

Gu Ren didn't bother to raise his head, and muttered in his heart:

Hong Qiu, the human skin mask is inferior like this, and you dare to pretend to be? Wait for a certain time to be in the mood and then slowly abuse you, Ya's guts are getting fatter and fatter, and she dares to come here. Also Mao Pai (fake)? Think my brother doesn't know you're a fake?

Mao Pai: "Yes...... But big brother, you haven't been tried in court. ”

"Big brother said no, it's no, you don't talk nonsense to find a lottery? Squatting there honestly, nothing to do in circles. ”

Liu Si shouted at Mao Pai.

"Oh......"

Mao Pai nodded honestly, thinking to himself: Hehe, Xiao'er, I still listen to the smart ones, I'm worried that someone will sneak in and steal the school. Hmph, this son is extremely smart, and he won't get a tiger if he doesn't enter the tiger's den! After a while, he gave Li Erzhi a voice and arranged for the trial to be held first. Isn't this officially a member of the account? I'm so witty!

At this time, Li Er and a few jailers were busy with things, and came here to do push-ups with the prisoners.

Mao Pai kept giving Li Er a look, Li Er was puzzled, and left as if nothing happened.

After a while, two officials came in.

"Suspect Mao Pai, the county magistrate is now open for trial, come out."

Mao Pai stood up.

"Big brother, they want me to go out...... The penalties won't be severe, will they......"

"Uh, go ahead, as long as you don't steal the little wife of the county order, you will be whipped a hundred times at most and locked up for a few months."

Gu Ren glanced at Mao Pai with his spare eyes.

"Ah, and the whipping?"

Mao Pai was taken aback, he just made a mistake casually and came in, stealing Gu Ren's magic skills, and he still had to be beaten? If he wasn't beaten, Gu Ren would definitely be suspicious? If you get beaten...... How much does that hurt...... At present, except for the follower Shabi cell head Li Erzhu and Xing Zhutou, no one knows his true identity, including his Lao Tzu. How good is that? How is it good?

Mao Pai (Hong Qiu) was very nervous, he was afraid of pain. I was going to give Xing Zhutou a shout, and I went out and walked down the field and came in, but I didn't expect it......

"Well, don't be afraid, under normal circumstances, as long as you hit your ass and bloom, you won't be beaten."

Gu Ren didn't forget to describe it in detail.

"Ah...... And the ass blooms......"

Mao Pai (Hong Qiu) has weak legs, so he has to do it all according to his requirements, otherwise he will definitely not believe it! The price paid this time was a bit big, and after gritting his teeth, he stood up strongly, muttering in his heart, specially, in order to be able to conquer ten girls in one night in the future, no matter how much I cry, no matter how much I suffer, it is worth it! Isn't it just the ass blooming?

The two officials left the prison with Mao Pai (Hong Qiu).

Liu Si, who was lying on the ground doing push-ups, stood up and came to Gu Ren's side.

"Big brother, why do you feel that this Mao Pai is a little familiar?"

When the old man Li Er heard the sound, he also entered the number and leaned over, pretending not to know and muttering.

"It does look familiar."

"Really? I don't have the impression that this kid has good qualifications, and when he comes back, this set of the seventh set of broadcast gymnastics will definitely pass on to him! ”

Gu Ren squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

An imperceptible look of joy flashed on Li Er's face, it seemed that Hong Qiu had succeeded this time. Hong Qiu promised to give him twenty taels of silver after the deed was completed.
