Chapter 168 Printing Technology
She first thought about the synopsis of the story, and then polished it while writing, striving to write the little story vividly and lively, and only wrote a story about a tortoise and rabbit racing and a pony crossing the river in the afternoon, everything is easy to look at and difficult to do, and when she finishes writing, it is time for dinner, she has to put down the pen and loosen her muscles.
I wrote like this for two days, and one morning Xu Rui actually asked someone to send two boxes of dim sum, Gao Shiman looked at the dim sum, I don't know whether to laugh or be angry, this Xu Rui must have seen that Qin Er did not move, so she sent a dim sum to remind, can she not be so shrewd and exposed, Gao Shiman is most annoying is this kind of person, okay? Women are more silly and cute, she never thinks that there are real fools in this world.
Seeing her crying and laughing, Anxin couldn't help but say, "Miss, what's wrong, is there something wrong with this snack?" ”
"Oh", Gao Shiman handed the dim sum to Anxin, "You take it and share it with everyone, this dim sum is no problem, I just want to eat this lunch, how can I eat it?" ”
Anxin took the snack and said, "Miss Xie! Immediately, he took it out and shared it with others.
Gao Shiman sent a letter to Qin Er, saying that they would meet in Daoxianglou in the afternoon. She is not idle at all now, and writes short stories when she has time. In the afternoon, she went to the agreed place with Qin Er.
Qin Er didn't come, Gao Shiman sat in the room, drinking tea while thinking about the story, and after a while, Qin Er hurriedly came, and as soon as he came in, he said, "It's a little delayed." ”
Gao Shiman ignored him, and only stuck the golden hairpin sent by Xu Rui on his head and said, "Second master, is it good-looking?" She deliberately dragged out her tone with disgusting Jiao, Qin Er shuddered, glared at her and said, "Where did you come from?" ”
"The young lady of the Yao family sent it!" She replied delicately.
"......" Qin Er was stunned for a moment, and Gao Shiman said with a smile: "I sent a couple, one for me and Qi Zhen." ”
What else is not understood about this? Qin Er stretched out his hand to her head~ took off the golden hairpin and said, "This is a little old-fashioned for the two of you, drive Ming'er to Fuxi Tower to pick it up, it's my brother's." ”
"Don't", Gao Shiman refused, "I don't like gold, can jade work?" ”
"Okay!" Qin Erzhi nodded and threw the golden hairpin on the table, "What do you say about the Yao family?" ”
Gao Shiman sat upright and said: "The eldest young lady of the Yao family turned out to be the niece of Qizhen's second aunt, for Qizhen's sake, she must be accommodating; But I think she's a little bit like that", so I explained Xu Rui's visit in detail.
Qin Er smiled after hearing this: "You have observed very carefully, and you will not let go of such a small detail." ”
"That is, the devil is in the details." Gao Shiman gave him a blank look.
"That's it", Qin Er thought for a while, "Listen to your tone, the Yao family is not authentic, or we will give him half of the salt first, and the other half for others, anyway, there are many people waiting to ask for it." ”
"Is that good?" Gao Shiman looked at him.
"What's wrong, I'll talk about it next year if I behave well, doesn't Kang Shufang love to quarrel with you, let her continue to be uncomfortable", Qin Er slapped the board.
Gao Shiman smiled and said, "Then listen to you." ”
"What have you been up to lately?" Qin Er asked her casually.
"I'll make up stories for Tongtong."
"What's the story?" Qin Er looked at her curiously.
"It's a story that children love to hear", Gao Shiman blinked, "I see that he is just playing, so he has an idea, and I have already written four." ”
Qin Er sat up straight and said, "What kind of story?" Take it for me to see. ”
"I haven't finished writing it yet, I'll show it to you when I'm done", Gao Shiman remembered that Qin Er and Cong'er and Shan'er were two little foreigners. But wouldn't it be inconvenient if everyone passed around on a storybook? If she writes one more, it's a technical job.
Gao Shiman is a spirit, the books and newspapers of the previous life from the lead to the printing, all show the greatness of science and technology to improve productivity, but there is printing in China's four major inventions, but Gao Shiman came here and seemed to have only seen a book of engraving printing, or in Li Ling's study, she didn't pay much attention at the time, now think about it, engraving is always not as convenient and flexible as movable type printing, when I went to school in my previous life, I also learned that Bi Sheng is the ancestor of movable type printing, and his people seem to be from the Song Dynasty, and she doesn't remember much about the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty.
Qin Er saw that she was stunned, so he sat there and twisted his head to look at her. Gao Shiman thought of movable type printing, can he also let people do it? The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and suddenly said, "Hey, have you ever heard of movable type printing?" ”
"What?" Qin Er saw that her eyes lit up, and he stared at her.
"Movable type printing", Gao Shiman also found himself out of shape, calmed down and asked again.
"I've only heard of engraving printing," Qin Er replied honestly.
Gao Shiman looked at him for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable before he said: "I think of a more convenient method than engraving printing, so that you can print a large number of books, are you interested?" ”
As long as he can make money, he is interested, and immediately said: "Let's hear it." ”
Gao Shiman got up and went to the door to face the guard: "You guys are guarded." After speaking, he turned back and sat down and whispered to him: "The method I just said is called movable type printing, which is to make a uniform size blank with cement, engrave a convex reverse character at one end, and engrave the orthography at the other end, and then fire it, which becomes movable type; Then make a wooden box that just puts down so many movable words on a page of a book, brush it with ink, cover it with paper, and it can be printed thousands of times. ”
As soon as Gao Shiman was excited, he pulled Qin Er's arm. Qin Er was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then said in a snort: "How did you come up with it?" ”
"Oh, you just say it's okay, no matter how I came up with it!" Gao Shiman shrugged him anxiously.
"Why don't we find someone to try?" Qin Er also glared at her.
"Try this Diamond Sutra first, try to print a thousand copies first", Gao Shiman began to rub his hands, "The ladies in Beijing love this, and they are generally copied by hand, how about it?" ”
"Okay, you can say what you need, I'll prepare", Qin Er had already smelled the silver.
Gao Shiman thought about it seriously and said: "First of all, it is confidential, and then find someone to engrave and make a wooden box, do you understand how to use pear wood?" "Pear wood absorbs water evenly, has moderate hardness, and is suitable for carving lines.
"Well, and then what?"
"There can't be a gap between the clay blanks, but there should be space between the words, so the engraving should be smaller than the clay billet......" Gao Shiman told Qin Er in detail, and finally said: "Anyway, it's useless to just say, you must practice on the spot, you find some reliable and professional people, maybe just try a few more times." ”
In fact, Gao Shiman also knows the general principle, if it is about details, she may not be as good as those craftsmen, Shinong and industrialist, and the two Gao Shiman at the end of the four people.
Qin Er nodded, Gao Shiman thought about sorting those words according to certain rules, if it was really sorted, the fastest way was of course like the dictionary of the previous life, sorting by pinyin, but looking at the whole world, I am afraid that she is the only one who understands pinyin, Gao Shiman. What to do?
She looked down and thought, is there any other way to sort those words? According to the five-stroke calligraphy, according to the structure of the upper and lower left and right, obviously not good, she shook her head gently, Qin Er was watching her from the side, could it be that she wanted to teach the workers to learn pinyin again?
Thinking of this, she looked up at Qin Er, Qin Er was also looking at her, she didn't speak for a long time, Qin Er said, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'll teach you to learn two pinyin, you can see if it's good to learn", Gao Shiman looked at him expectantly.
"Pinyin?" He really didn't know where Gao Shiman came from such a strange statement, and blinked suspiciously.
"Hmm", Gao Shiman dipped his fingers in the tea, and wrote the pinyin of "Qin" on the table: "This is the pinyin of your surname, Qin Qin, Q is the initial, in is the final, can you understand?" She spelled the pinyin again.
Qin Er looked at the Heavenly Book on the table and shook his head.
Gao Shiman wrote down the pinyin of the word "jade" again, and also read it again, and later found that yu was the overall recognition of syllables, so he re-wrote the pinyin of the word "feng" and read it to Qin Er.
Qin Er seemed to understand, Gao Shiman hurriedly said: "You come with His Highness every time, why don't you see him come this time!" ”
"I can't understand it, and he can't understand it even more", Qin Er shouted.
"Let's go, let's go find him!" Gao Shiman was impatient, she picked up Qin Er and walked out.
"Slow down!" Qin Er broke away from her. Gao Shiman turned around and said, "Okay, slow down." ”
The two went to the Qi Palace, Li Ling was not there, the two waited for a while before he came back, and when he saw the two of them coming together, Li Ling said, "Why are you here?" ”
"Let's go, let's talk in the study!" Qin Er was more anxious than Gao Shiman.
The three of them sat down, and Qin Er told Li Ling about Gao Shiman's thoughts one by one, Li Ling's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he looked at Gao Shiman and said, "You thought of it?" ”
"Hmm", Gao Shiman is a little embarrassed, is this considered plagiarism? Seeing her like this, Li Ling smiled and said, "Don't you think of fewer ideas, why are you shy now?" ”
The real situation is really not enough for outsiders, Gao Shiman laughed twice and said, "What do you think?" ”
Li Ling nodded: "This is a good idea, we can try it." ”
"Okay, then the problem arises", Gao Shiman looked at Li Ling, "A book has at least a thousand different words, right?" So when these words are selected and entered into the typesetting, how can they be placed so that people can easily pick them? ”
Li Ling and Qin Er both looked at her intently.
"I call this sorting, I told him a way to sort according to pinyin before, but he couldn't understand it", Gao Shiman thought about it, in order to avoid Li Ling also couldn't understand, she took a pen and paper and said: "I'll write it out first and then explain it to you." ”
She wrote down the initials, finals and overall recognition syllables on the paper, and then took them to Li Ling and said: "Then, you see, the combination of these initials and finals is pinyin, these are the overall recognition of syllables, we don't care, the pronunciation of all words is composed of initials and finals, just like I said before The Qin character is formed by the combination of the initials q and the finals in", she pointed out the two pinyin while speaking.
Li Ling nodded, Gao Shiman was very happy, what she said could be understood, it was no different from a bosom friend, she said the pinyin of the names of the two people respectively, Li Ling said: "I understand, you want to sort those words according to this pinyin, right?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Gao Shiman was very happy.
