Chapter 216: Movable Type Printing
Tang Shiyue stepped back directly: "Why should I tell you?" We're not friends, huh! ”
Yandong: "......"
He smiled helplessly: "Your speed of turning your face is really faster than turning a book." ”
"If the talk collapses, of course we have to turn around." Tang Shiyue said: "Originally, I wanted to wait for cashmere to come and send you a few sets, but since the talks have collapsed, forget it." ”
She opened the notebook that was spread out on the table and continued to read.
Yandong: "......"
He was amused and speechless.
Although this little lady is young, she is really sharp-toothed, and she can't quarrel with her, and she really can't get angry.
Just as he was about to say two jokes, he saw Xia Yuhui hurriedly come in outside: "The owner! Landlord! ”
Tang Shiyue said through the window: "Here!" ”
Xia Yuhui came in and looked around: "Are Sheng Xiaolang and Chen'er here?" ”
"Not there."
Xia Yuhui frowned: "Do you know where they went?" ”
"I don't know." Tang Shiyue was very strange: "Didn't Achen study over there?" ”
At the mention of this, Xia Yuhui became angry, "Since Wenqu left, this Chen'er has been lazy every day, that Sheng Xiaolang is still good with him, and he came to ask him out of the air, and he doesn't know where to play, and the homework under Wenqu the day before yesterday hasn't been done......"
He said helplessly to Yandong: "You also take care of your nephew ......"
Before Yandong could speak, Tang Shiyue raised his hand: "You wait!" ”
She really didn't expect Xia Yuhui to have the attributes of the Xiong family, and looked at him speechlessly: "What do you think?" What does this have to do with Sheng Qi? Tang Junchen left, did Sheng Qi kidnap him? When Sheng Qi came to call, my brother, why didn't Ah Yang and Ah Yao go? This matter is clearly Tang Junchen's own self-control, he wants to have fun, what does it mean to push it on the head of outsiders? There are cicadas singing in summer and wind and snow in winter, all of which are just external factors, and Sheng Qi's invitation, is there a difference in nature? ”
Xia Yuhui was speechless.
Yandong watched with relish.
It's miserable when she scolds her, but when her sharp teeth are aimed at others, it sounds hearty!
Xia Yuhui sat down helplessly: "Before asking Qu to leave, he said that he wanted me to discipline them......"
Tang Shiyue said: "You are a gentleman and not a nurse!" Three-year-old kid you have to tell him what's right and what's wrong, he's sixteen! Doesn't he understand? He knows he can't do it, what do you care about him? ”
Xia Yuhui sighed: "Okay, okay." ”
Tang Shiyue continued to look down at the script, Xia Yuhui was depressed for a long time, and asked casually: "What book are you reading?" ”
Tang Shiyue glanced at him, and Xia Yuhui was stunned: "I'm still doing your studies." ”
"Am I the material?" Tang Shiyue glanced at him: "I'm just watching and playing, do you want to watch it?" I still have a lot of books. She got up and opened the curtain on the bookshelf: "Does Mr. Meng want to see it?" ”
"No," Yandong shook his head with a smile: "I don't think much of this." ”
Xia Yuhui was surprised, and walked over to take a look: "You can actually find so many scripts?" It's really not easy. ”
"Mr. Xu gave it to me," Tang Shiyue said, "Isn't it easy?" Are there very few books in the world? No wonder I didn't find a few books in the bookstore in town. ”
"What else do you need to say?" Xia Yuhui said: "Books are too expensive, so of course there are few books in the world, and Wenqu actually bought so much, these, at least two hundred taels of silver!" ”
He sighed with some emotion: "If the price of books can be lowered, maybe the poor son can also study." ”
Tang Shiyue said casually: "It's not easy. ”
"Oh?" Xia Yuhui said: "The tone is not small, can you tell me what to do?" ”
Tang Shiyue said casually: "Why should I tell you? ”
Xia Yuhui thought she was bragging, and for the sake of her being the owner, she didn't ask, and left with her hands behind her back.
Yan Dong smiled and asked her, "Are you just talking nonsense?" ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, I can do what I say." Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "What if I really have a way to reduce the cost of books in the world by half, or even more than half?" ”
Yandong glanced at her and smiled: "If you can really do it, I ...... I can grant you one request, not too much. ”
A request? Tang Shiyue was stunned.
In fact, she meant to "call dad if she wins", she was completely joking, I didn't expect him to say that.
She glanced at Yandong carefully.
I don't know who he is, but it's pretty much the same. His "one request" should still be quite valuable.
So he said, "Okay, deal." ”
She gave him a high-five, then said, "Wait." ”
She turned out two seals, one was the "Xianlu Pearl" carved by Huo Qijing for her, and the other was the "Tang Shiyue Seal" engraved by someone later. Then he took a piece of paper and printed it with a snap.
Yandong was puzzled, Tang Shiyue said: "On this piece of paper, I need to stamp these two seals, I can cover them one by one, I don't need to carve a whole piece, in fact, books are like this." A page of a book does not need to carve a whole surface, only each word, make a small square, and then each page of the book will arrange these small squares one by one. In that way, the small square of each word can be reused many times, and there is no need to engrave it every time, so it will save a lot of money, a lot of work, and a lot of materials? ”
That's right, it's movable type printing.
Historically, the Song Dynasty invented movable type printing, and now, she is in a hurry to call her out of the butterfly.
In fact, not only movable type printing, but also finding ways to improve papermaking can also reduce the cost of books.
Yandong was obviously stunned.
He thought carefully about what she said, and then patted the case: "Yes! You're right! You're smart! ”
He strode out, beckoned at random, and immediately an attendant came, and he quickly gave an order, and the attendant went.
Yandong turned his head and looked at her a few times, "How did you come up with that?" ”
Tang Shiyue has always felt that Yandong is gentle and tolerant, but at that moment just now, she really had a feeling of being seen through.
But Tang Ying didn't care, she smiled heartlessly: "You would never think that a lazy worm would come up with many good ideas in order to be lazy." She smiled and blinked.
Yandong slowly retracted his gaze.
If she explained a lot, he might really be suspicious, but when she said it casually, he felt that he was thinking too much.
Besides, this method was unheard of, and he didn't really have anything to doubt. If she didn't come up with it, who could it be?
So Yandong smiled and said, "So, what do you want to ask?" ”
Tang Shiyue said in his heart that you didn't agree to find the emperor to advertise, so he was embarrassed to ask! On the surface, he said calmly: "Actually, I don't have anything I want for the time being. ”
Yandong frowned slightly: "Then do you want to help your friend make a request?" ”
As soon as he mentioned it, her heart suddenly moved: "By the way, you know who Ah Jing is, right?" ”
Yandong nodded, and Tang Shiyue said: "Then do you know any border guards who can recommend one or two?" ”
Yandong frowned slightly. Then, as if he had heard it for the first time, he asked her, "Does he want to join the army?" Then why didn't he go to the Northwest Pass? ”
With a rare opportunity, Tang Shiyue immediately added fuel and vinegar to Du Kerong's bad deeds.
Yandong frowned for a long time: "It turns out that just for this, did you give up the Northwest Pass?" ”
