484 Movable type printing

Sun Shan is an expert in copying books, and it can be seen that it is convenient for engraving printing, but the craftsmen have different angles.

As we all know, wood will deform when it is damp, not to mention that Lu Zhi's method has to brush ink, and the master carpenters discovered this problem with a simple thought.

"Then you'll have to solve it." Lu Zhi spread his hands, "Why don't I still hire you and give you such a high salary?" ”

The master carpenters laughed and praised again and again, "That's, that's, that's what the fourth prince said." ”

Unlike other workshops, it is relatively more important to pay attention to innovative thinking.

Of course, this innovation is not an innovation for no reason, it is generally inspired by Lu Zhi, and then they improve and optimize, and finally create something more practical.

As for those craftsmen who only follow the rules and can't think flexibly, Tiangongfang is not unwanted, but the salary and treatment are so much worse.

Those who are able work more, work more and get more, this is Lu Zhi's truth, and it is also the truth of the entire Tiangongfang.

"Come, let's talk about what you think." Lu Zhi squatted on the spot, just like when he was in Xuanwu City, and began to discuss problems with a group of craftsmen.

"For the time being, use wood that is not easy to get damp first, and Childe must be in a hurry, so deal with it first."

"√, that's the truth." This is also a common practice, the key things that are not urgently used, Lu Zhi generally can't think of them.

"Well, then there's the material, and I think copper is the best."

Don't look at them as carpenters, but Dayue bronze products are the mainstream, and the easiest material to think of is often it.

"I'm afraid the copper ones won't work." Sun Shan did the same, and also squatted down.

The eyes of the craftsmen, including Lu Zhi's, also looked at Sun Shan.

"Haha~~~" Sun Shan was a little uncomfortable, and he continued after a haha, "The cost is too great, besides, the court doesn't allow it." ”

The craftsmen looked at Lu Zhi again, and Lu Zhi shook his head, "It's a problem, but it's not a big problem, now that the battle is over, the ban on copper and iron will be lifted soon." ”

As for the cost, it is even more of a joke, no one knows the entire Tiangongfang, no one knows, the fourth prince is backed by gold and silver, and he is not the master of the money.

"The cost is too high to be worth it." Sun Shan still shook his head, "Copper itself is money, if an article uses a copper plate, how many books do you have to sell to make money?" ”

The craftsmen fell silent, this is a very real problem, Lu Zhi is indeed not afraid of input costs, but he must be able to see the benefits.

"At worst, the poems of those talented people, well, some of them are really not worth the price of a copper plate."

Sun Shan copies books for a living, and naturally has a lot of knowledge of the poems that circulate in the champion building, to be honest, it is indeed of high quality, but even so, it may not be possible to return to the original, he has already collected it.

After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and Lu Zhi opened his mouth again, "Hey, I played with mud when I was a child, do you know the cement?" ”

"Oh, so you can use mud." Some craftsmen suddenly realized.

"Oh~~~" followed by a voice of disdain and ridicule, everyone knows that you want to shoot the fourth son's fart, but you don't have to show it so obviously.

What is the cement, I haven't even thought about it once, and this is slipping out of my mouth?

Lu Zhi waved his hand, also a little funny, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business first." ”

"That's it, let's get down to business, be serious." The craftsman who played with the mud was a little embarrassed, and his rough face turned red.

"I'll tell you about it." As soon as Lu Zhi gestured, everyone stood up and walked next door.

Next door is similar to a conference room, and there is a long table in the conference room, on which are placed sand tables and some drawings, and it is a place where craftsmen study problems on a daily basis.

"First use fine clay to make many squares, engrave the reverse characters, one word at a time, and then put them in an earthen kiln and burn them hard with fire." This is similar to firing porcelain, which greatly strengthens the moisture resistance of the clay.

Lu Zhi explained while drawing a schematic diagram with a sand table, "When printing, pick up and arrange the movable types in the iron frame, and sprinkle the bottom of the iron frame with rosin, beeswax, paper ash and other adhesive mixtures.

Then the iron frame with the characters arranged is taken to the fire to heat and flatten, and after it is cooled and solidified, the movable type in the frame is smooth and solid, no different from the wooden board I just carved, and finally it is painted with ink. ”

"Rosin? Wonderful! The crowd looked at the craftsman playing with the mud again, and this time, it was he who reacted the fastest.

"Hehe, I've thought about it this time, as long as you bake it with fire after printing, the seal of the cement can still be removed, Fourth Prince, am I right?"

"Well, yes, very smart, so this is not engraving printing, but movable type printing, how to live this 'live' word, you can understand, right?"

Lu Zhi smiled and pointed to the mud craftsman, "Think more in the future, but forget about it, you don't have that ability yet." ”

Hahaha~~~ Lu Zhi's witty words caused another burst of laughter.

Ah, that's how it works in the workshop! …… Sun Shan saw it for the first time, "Fourth son, I don't understand technical things, but the seal with the clay character has been fired so much, I'm afraid it's not easy to find when you use it." ”

"Then I don't care." Lu Zhi pointed at Sun Shan with the wooden stick in his hand, "When the time comes, you will work together, and this matter will be left to you to solve." ”

"Yes, Fourth Son." Sun Shan secretly calculated, thinking about how to better distinguish them.

In fact, this question is really troublesome, and the first thing that comes to Lu Zhi's mind is the alphabet arrangement.

Just like a dictionary, it is convenient to put the first letter of the clay word, or a seal, put them together, and then use which word to look up which word, which is also considered to be convenient.

But the bad thing is that Dayue does not have Chinese pinyin, not only does this method not work, but even when reading and reading characters, it is very inconvenient.

For example, it is impossible for the Master to teach the pronunciation and meaning of all the words in the course of teaching, so what should I do if I encounter a word I don't know?

The first is "different texts", and when you encounter a word that you can't write, find a substitute who can write.

Heteromorphism is a proper noun in ancient phonology, which refers to words with different sounds of the same word.

There are 2000~3000 commonly used Chinese characters, and these words can be used proficiently as long as they are systematically studied, so the Yue people use these words as a basis, and use "different words" when they encounter words that cannot be written.

You may not be familiar with "different words", but it is actually a well-known - a fake word

Of course, the article written in this way is difficult to decipher, and even after a long time, the author does not remember what was written in the first place.

And then there is the sound training, straight tone, reverse cutting or something, those Lu Zhi is even more ten tricks through nine tricks, not a single trick.
