In the east wing room at the end of the printing office, rows of fired lead characters were neatly paved, and Ouyang squatted on the ground, looking at the lead characters one by one like looking at a treasure, and his eyes were shining with a scorching light.

Zhang Bu took two handymen who carried the lead characters, and walked quickly here, seeing that thousands of lead characters were about to be fired, and the goal of assassinating Cheng Mo was about to be implemented, but at this time, the news that Cheng Mo had become the prime minister came.

Hearing this news, Zhang Bu really couldn't believe it, just by him? Prime minister? Joke! However, the teahouse restaurant was talking about the past of the young new prime minister, speculating about the possible governance of him, and he could not believe it.

Others are concerned about Cheng Mo's policy of governance, he is concerned about whether he can assassinate Cheng Mo, remembering Huang Ba, who was once the prime minister for a long time, and was later demoted back to his hometown, indignation filled his chest, if Huang Ba is still a long history, with him on the premise of Cheng Mo's face, Cheng Mo's chances of going to the printing office will definitely increase. Now that Cheng Mo has become the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people, is the small printing office still in his heart? Will he still find time to inspect it himself?

Zhang Bu couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses, and when he asked his master Wang Laohan if the prime minister would come to the printing office, Wang Laohan asked him to work hard and not think so much.

Can he not want to? If Cheng Mo didn't come, why did he spend his good time here? It's long since I quit.

Wang Laohan refused to say anything to Ouyang Zhen, so he had to get some croton, grind it into powder, and put it in the snack for Wang Laohan to eat. A few pieces of dim sum specially prepared for Wang Laohan were said to be given by relatives, which made Wang Laohan very rare. Then, Wang Laohan ran to the toilet eighteen times in the morning, and he was about to collapse, and he had been sent to Dr. Bai at this time.

Now that Wang Laohan is gone, and the production of the lead characters is nearing the end, he is Wang Laohan's apprentice, and instead of the master, he suggested that Ouyang Yu invite the prime minister to come and see the results of printing, right?

Two more handymen came over with the lead plates, and Ouyang Yu hurriedly got up and let in. Lead words are divided into common words and infrequently used words, rare words three kinds, the previous rush to make are commonly used words, the same word has the possibility of making dozens of lead words for backup, now the production is mostly rare words, he intends to once the production is completed, leave two words to write well craftsman, at any time to make rare words, the rest of the craftsmen are disbanded.

This edition is full of rare characters that have been used for the last time in 800 years, because there are many strokes, and each one is a little larger than the others. Ouyang Yu picked up one with some regret and looked at it carefully, and found that this word was tightly structured, the same size as a word with few strokes.

He picked up one and looked at it again, this one of the strokes was loose, and the characters seemed larger, and then he picked up another one, and it was tightly structured, so he looked at six or seven of them, and suddenly said: "It turns out that this version is made by two craftsmen." ”

Needless to say, the tightly structured one is from Zhang Dalang's hand. This Zhang Dalang is a good handwriter, but it's a pity to be a craftsman.

He was thinking that among the two craftsmen left, Zhang Dalang had to be counted as one anyway, when a clear voice came from the door: "The little one has seen the adult." ”

Although Ouyang Yu only has eight products, it is the emperor's imperial seal and the chief official of the printing bureau, so everyone calls him "adult".

"Oh, it's Dalang, hurry up and excuse me." Ouyang Yu was still holding the words engraved by Zhangbu in his hand, just now he felt that this person was a talent that could be cultivated well, and when he looked at Zhangbu, there was a smile on his face, and a pair of eyes were shining as if he was looking at the lead words in his hand.

"No." Zhang Bu responded, straightened up, and did not enter the house, and there was no place for him to stand in the house, so he said at the door: "Master Wang is sick, before going to the doctor, I told the little one to report to the adult, and there are only one hundred and eighty rare words left, and the job is completed." ”

And clay, lettering, firing, each has a head, Wang Laohan is the head of lettering, more than ten craftsmen who carve words, most of them are slightly literate, and have practiced a few days of craftsmen. Most of these craftsmen are not wealthy, and they only learned a few words by chance, and because of this, Zhang Bu, who had been in school and was taught by Confucianism, became shining gold as soon as he entered the printing office.

One hundred and eighty words, more than ten people, did not need to be dark, and they were all engraved.

"Oh, that's it?" Ouyang Yu's old face is blooming, and it is finally finished, and he can print a page of the book and present it to Prime Minister Cheng.

The miscellaneous servants don't care much about who is the prime minister, but Ouyang Yu has changed from a beggar who has never met a relative to an eighth-grade official, and such earth-shaking changes all depend on Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo is his benefactor, how can he not care about every move? Hearing the news that Cheng Mo was the prime minister, he rarely looked at these precious lead words in the wing room last night, but went to sell two taels of turbid wine, cut a plate of braised pork, and celebrated.

Zhang Bu saw that his eyes were glazed with a smile, and he knew that something big was done, and said, "Yes." My lord, seeing that our printing office is about to complete the book, do you want Prime Minister Cheng Cheng to come and take a look? ”

This is a book printing, the first of the era, if you can do this unprecedented feat, don't talk about Cheng Mo, I'm afraid the emperor will also pay attention to it, right?

All the books in this era can only be copied by hand and copied on bamboo slips, so any works are not widely recited and not passed down much. But once the book can be printed, it is said that although silk is very expensive, as long as it can be printed, rich people can still afford it.

Zhang Bu didn't know that Cheng Mo was also studying papermaking, and the initial results had been achieved, and it was already able to become paper, but it was a little rougher, so Cheng Mo made a few suggestions and instructed the craftsmen to re-study.

Ouyang Yu thought that Zhang Bubao was hiding evil intentions, and said with a smile: "As long as we can print a few copies and present them to the prime minister, it is enough, why bother the prime minister to take the time to come?" ”

Cheng Mo must be very busy when he becomes prime minister, can that trouble him?

Zhang Bu hurriedly said: "As soon as the printing technique is completed, the world will be shocked, and the adult will definitely go down in history, don't say the prime minister, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will also summon the prelude to the adult." ”

Ouyang Yu smiled, not believing it at all.

Although he was commissioned to study printing, he did not expect that the advent of this technology would bring great shock to the world and promote the progress of civilization.

Zhang Bu said sincerely: "My lord, you might as well talk to the prime minister, or the prime minister can come." ”

"Da Lang, don't worry about things that shouldn't be in your hands." Ouyang Yu kindly reminded that he had the heart to cultivate this young man, maybe in a few years, he couldn't do it, and this printing office would be handed over to this young man.

Zhang Bu had to say more, but Ouyang Yu had already ordered: "You bring two people to print a version of the book for me to see." ”

I've been busy for so long, I have to see how it looks when printed.

Zhang Bu had no choice but to respond.
