Chapter 142: The Shock of Movable Type Printing (Part 1)

Li Hao glanced indifferently at the person who spoke, but it was a poorly dressed disciple of a poor family.

He faced Li Hao's gaze, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look directly.

Li Hao sneered in his heart, knowing that this must be an abandoned son that the Kwantung princes had already arranged.

Even if you start with this person, it will be difficult to involve the Kwantung princes.

He turned to look at everyone with a smile and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, I also brought ancient books for my senior brother. ”

The Kwantung princes had already known about it, and their expressions did not change in any special way.

However, the people around who were going to watch the excitement were indeed stunned for a moment, and then they looked at the Kanto princes with calm expressions and vaguely guessed something.

This time it was lively.

They chuckled inwardly, then shook their heads.

It's a pity that they miscalculated a move, and they didn't expect that Lu Xianghui would be the junior brother of the sage, and all their calculations were destined to be greatly discounted, otherwise they would have a good show.

Chu Nangong's expression was calm, so that people couldn't see anything.

He did not refuse everyone's gifts, flipped through the precious ancient books given by the princes, commented and explained from time to time, and laughed out loud when he encountered a place that suited his heart.

And the princes of Kwantung were extremely happy to see it, especially when someone presented an ancient book that amused Chu Nangong, they were even more happy as if they had won five million.

About half an hour had passed, and Chu Nangong had already finished reading all kinds of precious books brought by the princes of Kwantung.

At this time, everyone looked at Li Hao, waiting for his move.

Li Hao's expression was natural, and he smiled: "This gift of mine is indeed a little special, I don't know if the senior brother may see the mystery in it." ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't believe it, and they were still a little puzzled.

With the knowledge of the sages for nearly a thousand years, what else has not been seen?

They really didn't believe that there would be anything special about Li Hao's ancient books.

Chu Nangong was also interested, stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, if the junior brother can come up with something worth surpriseing, the senior brother will give you a small gift." ”

When the Kwantung princes heard this, the smiles on their faces suddenly froze, and they almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood.

That's a bit too obvious, isn't it?

We've worked so hard to amuse you, but we haven't even gotten a word of praise. They haven't seen any movement here, and you promised a small gift?

Although Chu Nangong said that it was a small gift, how could everyone dare to underestimate Chu Nangong's gift.

What kind of person is this, a super strong person in the realm of ancient sages, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the world today!

Can a small gift from a sage and a strong man be a small thing for ordinary people?

Li Hao smiled: "Then senior brother has to look carefully." ”

Then someone carried two large boxes two feet long and wide, with delicate red peony flower carvings, and slowly walked in from the outside.

The box was opened, but it was full of books.

However, unlike the old bamboo slips of the princes, the books in front of him are cut boxy, and there are blue book covers on the outside, all made of paper.

When people saw the books full of paper, they couldn't help but lack interest.

Who doesn't know that paper only became popular in the past two hundred years, and since it is a book made of paper, it is obviously not an ancient book. Even if it is, it is only a copy of some ancient books, which is obviously a few grades worse than the real ancient books.

Seeing this, although the princes wondered where Li Hao's confidence came from, they couldn't help but smile.

Not to mention whether the ancient books in Li Hao's hands are precious, let's just say that compared with the real ancient books, the results are very obvious.

Chu Nangong didn't say anything, and casually reached out, and saw that the books in the box seemed to be held by a pair of invisible big hands, and flew to Chu Nangong's side slowly and orderly.

Chu Nangong opened a book casually, and his expression did not change in particular.

However, when he flipped through three or four books, his expression finally changed significantly.

The font is exactly the same!

All the books, all the fonts are clearly the work of one person.

If it was simply from the hands of one person, it was naturally not worth Chu Nangong's shock. What really shocked him was that all the words were exactly the same!

It's incredible.

Because even the same person can't write exactly the same words.

One or two fonts may be the same, but to transcribe hundreds of books, it is still necessary to ensure that all the fonts are not bad at all, even Chu Nangong has no confidence to complete it.

He flipped through dozens of books at random, and his expression changed from relaxed at the beginning to shock and surprise.

With Chu Nangong's knowledge, although he didn't know how Li Hao did it, he also vaguely guessed something.

Seal!

These books are made as if they were made with stamps, otherwise it would not make sense why all the fonts are the same.

Chu Nangong closed the book in his hand, glanced at Li Hao deeply, and said, "Whimsy, it's really whimsy." ”

Chu Nangong stroked the book in his hand and muttered, "It took a lot of time to make these things, right?" ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "It took four people three days to produce this first batch of one hundred and eight precious books. If you only make one book, you can produce thousands of copies a day. ”

In the case of complete printing equipment, the most difficult thing to make a book is typesetting, which is relatively simple to print.

If it weren't for typesetting, books could be made hundreds or thousands of times faster. Of course, the main reason is that the number of words in ancient books is generally not much, and it is already remarkable to have thousands of words, and many of them are only a few hundred words.

Otherwise, no matter how great the ability of four people is, it is impossible to rely on just two sets of printing tools to print hundreds of different books in just a few days.

It's just that Li Hao said it very easily, but for others, it was full of incredible.

Four people, three days??

Everyone looked at the more than 100 books, and couldn't believe that this was a task completed by four people in just three days, let alone making thousands of books a day.

They looked at each other, puzzled.

I'm afraid that a person with eight hands will not be able to transcribe thousands of books in just one day, right?

Chu Nangong's eyes lit up slightly, and he instantly understood the power of this technique.

Since ancient times, books have been the most valuable treasure, even more precious than gold and silver.

This is not only because of the value of the book itself, but also because the transcription of the book is extremely cumbersome, and can only be transcribed word by word by human.

And if you're not careful, you'll get an error.

It is precisely because the production of books is extremely low, and it is an easily damaged object, and most of the source is controlled by the century clans, so they can easily block the knowledge of the middle and lower classes. Because ordinary small households can't afford books at all, and it is difficult to buy valuable books.

And there are no books, no inheritance, which also limits the way for the middle and lower class people to rise.

If one day books were to flood like crops in the field, what kind of scene would it be, even Chu Nangong didn't dare to imagine.

His right hand stroking the book trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Little junior brother is really amazing, amazing." ”

Everyone couldn't understand how Li Hao managed such a miracle at all, but when they saw Chu Nangong nodding and praising him, they also understood that Li Hao might not be a big deal.

For a while, everyone was silent.

If four people can make thousands of books a day, how many can a hundred people make in a day, and how many can a thousand people make?

At this time, people who have a little insight will inevitably have this kind of thought in their hearts.

And the children from the big family all twitched slightly, and their eyes were full of horror. If there is a flood of books, I'm afraid it's going to change the world, right?
