Chapter 445: Movable Type Printing
Naturally, the emperor couldn't just "reward" this sentence, and there would be no more.
Soon, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were sent to the Hanlin Temple.
[Fengtian becomes lucky, the emperor edict says......]
An edict recorded Yang Xiangwei's merits.
The people of the Hanlin Academy were shocked: "Isn't it?!" This kid is silent, and he has a big ticket?! ”
"What is this movable type printing?"
"Who knows."
……
As a bachelor in charge, Master Zhang has a little bad feeling in his heart.
It's clear that it's your subordinates who are rewarded, why are you the last one to know?
He knew that Yang Xiangwei was a towering person, but was he too unkind?
Yang Xiangwei really doesn't "go to the road", and she doesn't even know how to please her boss.
If you are rewarded, you should also make everyone happy, and by the way, you can pull the relationship again, right?
Obviously, Yang Xiangwei was a little stunned, and her voice fell for a long time, and she didn't see anyone answer, but she raised her head: "My lord, can't you approve the leave?" ”
"Batch."
After taking the reward and thanking him, without waiting for a group of colleagues to greet him with a smile and come over to flatter, he took a bunch of things and said goodbye to Master Zhang.
Master Zhang: "......"
At this time, shouldn't you make an appointment with your colleagues for a "dinner" after the next duty?
It turned out that after finishing the movable type printing, he thought that the paper of the dynasty was too expensive.
Such expensive paper, even with movable type printing, the book is sold very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.
He didn't have much ambition, he just thought that if he could make books cheaper, then he wouldn't have exhausted his family resources just to read.
Yang Xiangwei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, Xiaguan still has something to finish......"
"What are you going to get?" Master Zhang's ears moved, and he hurriedly asked.
Yang Xiangwei said honestly.
……
Listening to the other party's simple and simple words, Master Zhang was stunned.
He never thought that after many years as an official, he would still hear such "stupid" words?!
"Xia Guan was admitted and became an official, but there are still so many poor children in the world, living a poor life for a book. If it's a functional......"
"If the lower officials can do it, then they will no longer suffer the hardships that the lower officials have suffered."
Moreover, Xia Guan also tried it, and Xia Guan found that he seemed to be able to do it. Since it can be done, if you don't do it, then the lower officials will be vain as the people of the Great Law. ”
Zhi Nao Xiaowei was speechless: [Master, you scared people stupid! 】
"Well, I know. You are going to the Ministry of Works, and the official will go with you. In an instant, Master Zhang made a decision.
Of course, he made this decision definitely not to have the same ambition of "being the master of the people" as this kid, but just to see what this kid could do.
He seemed to understand at once why this kid was a little "unsociable".
Where is he a little "unsociable", it is simply "a big misfit". Is there any official who thinks like him now?
"Master Zhang?" Yang Xiangwei found that there was no sound on the other side, and raised her head again.
When Master Zhang saw the reward he was holding, he said, "Wouldn't it be nice to put it here." ”
"But the lower officials are afraid that they will be too busy for a while and forget about them, so it is better to send them back in advance, and then they will be on duty directly from the Ministry ......of Works."
Yang Xiangwei definitely admitted that he was afraid of losing things.
If this kid can really do what he said, then what's the harm in "protecting" one or two points by himself?
Once, Master Zhang also wanted to be a good official, but it's a pity......
Yang Xiangwei blinked, as if she didn't understand why her boss wanted to "skip work" with her, but she didn't ask anything, just said, "Eh, can the lower official send these things back to the house first?" ”
As a result, the old emperor gave such a bunch, which was simply "timely rain".
When Xu Jiaojiao and the others entered Beijing, he not only had the money to pay the dart bureau of others, but also had the money to "support" his family.
Oh, by the way, he has to leave a "money-making" business to make life easier for the whole family......
There is no way, his people are not likable, and he has not received particularly reliable "close friends" at present, so he can only be careful himself.
It doesn't matter if something is lost, he can "sue", but it's all money.
He is now in particular of a shortage of money.
Someone sent it, of course Yang Xiangwei was happy.
handed over the things, and took Master Zhang to the Ministry of Works next door.
At the same time, the craftsmen who had worked for Yang Xiangwei before were also rewarded, and the news spread throughout the entire Ministry of Industry at once.
"Okay, the official asked someone to help you run." Master Zhang laughed.
Unlike a petty official like Yang Xiangwei, who is not moving, Master Zhang is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, so naturally he is not worried that no one will use him.
As soon as he spoke, someone immediately took the initiative to stand up.
Yang Xiangwei waved her hand, looking completely indifferent: "What's this, it's you who are the ones who work, and the official will give a few more words." ”
"But if it weren't for the adults to mention it, the villain would not be able to figure it out in this life." The two craftsmen were excited.
The others too, all gathered around, and flattered them for a while:
Well, as soon as Yang Xiangwei appeared, she was warmly welcomed by the Ministry of Industry.
There is no way, who not only did not "win the reward" when the family received the reward, but also specially brought the two craftsmen who were mainly responsible for the promotion?
When the two craftsmen saw Him, they were a little embarrassed.
He divided them into small teams, and each group was responsible for testing different things and experimenting with "papermaking."
"I think paper is too expensive now, and we have to learn to make paper from other materials so that we can keep the price of paper down."
"The price of paper is cheaper, and with papermaking, the price of books will inevitably come down."
- If you mention a few words, you can be promoted and get a reward, isn't that like picking it up for nothing?!
They did their best, hoping to get Yang Xiangwei's favor.
Yang Xiangwei is also generous, she doesn't care at all, she uses as many people as she comes.
How is this possible?!
Everything is inferior, only reading is high.
How can this book be cheap?!
"When the time comes, everyone in the world will be able to read."
……
The sentence "People all over the world will be able to read books", this lofty ambition, I don't know how many officials of the Ministry of Industry who came to watch.
Yang Xiangwei said: "I don't know, I only know if I try it." But ......"
He found that he was listening to many people, and he did not hide his secrets, and continued.
"The cost of papermaking, we can start from several aspects, one is the raw material, which can be extended from hemp, tree and other things, to others, such as mulberry, rattan bark and the like for several years, and we have also used fishing nets ......that we don't want."
Most of the officials present were from wealthy families, so they didn't feel much of it. A few of them, like Yang Xiangwei, came from a poor family.
Therefore, His words touched them more deeply.
"Qi Shu Jishi, do you really have a way to make cheaper paper?" Someone gathered around and asked.
"I want to make a paper mold of a movable curtain bed, that is, to use a movable bamboo curtain to put on the frame, so that it can be salvaged repeatedly and more labor-saving."
"We can also work on the quality of the paper, we can work steaming, pounding, and then testing, adding lye or other liquids to see if we can make better paper."
