Chapter 253 Movable Type Printing
Yang Heng didn't notice that the danger was slowly coming towards him, he was still studying his printing technique, maybe he had seen a lot of things like cottages in the last life, and it was not strange to see a lot, but was this really a copycat?
Movable type printing, easy to say, but difficult to do, first of all, Yang Heng needs to solve the lead type should be how to make, is it directly melted into the word mold, or do you need to make a lead block in the carving out of the word?
Who invented movable type in history, Yang Heng was thinking hard, Shen Kuo, no, it seems that he is the one who wrote Mengxi pen talk, who is that, ah yes is Bi Sheng, Bi Sheng invented what movable type, cement, to carve out the words of the cement first, and then put it in the fire to burn it solid, and then I don't know the way, but Yang Heng knows that the point is that this cement movable type printing technology has not been handed down, which is the reason why the West and the stick are grabbing the invention of this technique, It seems that the stick was developed metal movable type printing, naturally, this is not done by them independently, it was invented on the basis of Bi Sheng's clay type, that is, the Western lead type, which should also be invented from Bi Sheng's clay type, and this thing can only mean that the Chinese people are talented, but talented people are not necessarily reused, and even their inventions can not be taken seriously, if they are valued, as long as they think further, then whether it is metal type, It is still invented by lead type, and naturally lead type is also considered metal type, but it is still different from metal type.
Thinking of so much, there is no need to study the movable type of natural cement, so leave a mystery for future generations to study. To investigate why the most advanced lead movable type printing appeared first. And not in order. Clay, or wooden type, then metal type, then lead type.
But what do these ideas have to do with the production of movable type, naturally it is still the same old-fashioned, and when it encounters difficulties, it is okay to let go, on the craftsman, Yang Heng explained the idea of movable type to a few craftsmen. went to do their own business, but the craftsmen didn't think that Yang Heng was using them, but were grateful to Yang Heng.
"Xiao Langjun, Xie Lu thank you, Xie Lu thank you, you handed over such a great opportunity to us, this is a very easy thing in your hands, but you still handed it over to us, how can we be grateful to you, or we will set up a shrine for you at home." "Don't. No, you don't. I don't want you to be cursed. Yang Heng was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, "What's wrong with Xiao Langjun, why are you so polite, and how can the ancestral hall be a curse?" ”
In fact, Yang Heng himself misunderstood, the ancestral hall is just the gratitude and admiration of many people, that is, people live and they worship the ancestral hall, you must know that many officials in the Taoist road want people to give the ancestral hall can't ask for it, and it is forbidden to establish the ancestral hall in the Tang Dynasty, but the people's independent ancestral hall is still allowed.
Why did Yang Heng go, he wanted to hide from Qingxian, but he still didn't hide, the previous thing was not over yet, although Li Erzhi said that the matter was not done by Yang Heng, but he still arranged for someone to call Yang Heng over.
"Xuewen, how do you explain this?" Li Er pulled his face and said solemnly, Yang Heng felt a little puzzled at this time, didn't Li Er investigate clearly, this is an obvious thing, copycat, just watching his monthly report sell well, this is not unusual.
No, it's strange, this thing is a very strange thing, in Datang, if you really need a copycat, there is no need to even imitate people's names, Yang Heng's is called Academy Monthly, he can be called Chang'an Monthly, it looks more atmospheric, isn't it.
And even the above content Yang Heng didn't feel anything prohibited, but whether to discuss governing the country with literature or by force is just an old topic.
The first to put forward was Tang Jian, and his opinion was that "Han Zu should get it immediately, not immediately cure it." As his opinion, that is, he supports Wenzhi, that is, Wei Zheng, the counselor, also proposed to Li Shimin the four-character strategy of "Yanwu Xiuwen" to support Wenzhi.
However, many courtiers led by Prime Minister Xiao Yu and Deputy Prime Minister Feng Deyi have written to express their opposition, they believe that the world is fought by force, and the world is governed by force. In other words, it is considered that the literature is not as good as the martial arts.
These are some outdated topics, and even after two debates, Li Er's reply is "Governing the country is no different from recuperating from the sick, the patient is healed, and the meru will be protected, if there is a violation, he will die." The same is true for governing the country, and the world is a little peaceful, so we must be especially cautious. That is to say, he temporarily chose Wei Zheng's Yanwu Xiuwen, and even then concluded that "to fight chaos with force, to defend the success with literature, and to use civil and military purposes, each according to the time." In fact, in his heart, he still has the idea of using foreign troops, but looking at the broken rivers and mountains in front of him, he still feels that it is better to rest and recuperate first, which is actually a wise choice, otherwise he will follow in the footsteps of Guang.
Why did someone raise this controversy at this time, could it be that Yang Heng's hand was used to express his wishes, naturally Yang Heng thought so.
"This, not done by the minister, His Majesty should be clear, besides, there is nothing written on it, just talking about the fact that this government should govern the country with force, although this time is a little early, but the minister thinks that soon we should use troops externally, to make the neighbors submit, instead of listening to their sycophants, but also to give them some valuable items, and even some of the techniques we have developed for many years, the result is to make them strong and come to beat us." Yang Heng didn't see Li Er's face, but talked to himself, and even had some content in line with this tabloid.
"You, you, you, let me say what is good about you? What kind of person am I, now that the four seas are leveling, how harmonious, I have given outsiders money and skills, and even craftsmen, that shows our determination to make friends with them, you, you, I can't tell you, you go back and think about it. Li Er let Yang Heng's political wisdom be defeated, how could there be such a son-in-law of a political idiot, where is his cleverness usually, but why does his daughter like this kid?
"Then, Your Majesty, the minister will retire." Yang Hengcheng retreated in fear and walked out, in fact, this is also what he pretended, naturally it was pretended to be shown to Li Er, if Li Er was angry to death, wouldn't this history change, who knows how Li Chengqian will govern, maybe he will become an enemy with him, then he has to drag his family to start a business overseas, and his leisure will be in vain.
"Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun, it's done, the lead word is done." This was the first good news that Yang Heng got when he came back, but these craftsmen were so smart, and what they couldn't study by themselves, they succeeded in researching.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, first make a clay fan, and then carve the words on it, after carving, then put the word in a small frame, and immediately pour lead water, so a lead movable type is done, and Yang Heng, he not only abandoned the clay movable type, but also abandoned the clay fan, that is naturally unthinkable, sometimes it can really be said that experience kills people.
"But Xiao Langjun, there is a problem," when Yang Hengzheng was happy, there was another problem. "What's the problem, say," "Xiao Langjun, it's just that this lead character is too soft, and if you use such force, it will be flattened." "Well, let's say, don't you study what metal you can use to fuse with lead to achieve the required hardness and melt easily?"
Okay, Xiao Langjun is too clever, this ancestral hall still needs to be established, but it needs to be set up at home, otherwise Xiao Langjun will be unhappy. The so-called craftsmen are naturally a group of obsessed people, usually there may be no one to support them, and there is no financial support, so they can't realize any idea, and they will always have such and such difficulties, but in Yang Heng's eyes, this is not a difficulty, as long as you click a word. But for craftsmen, this sentence will even be tested for years or even decades or even hundreds of years. (To be continued......)
