As for the time agreed between himself and Chen Xingtian, in fact, most of it was reserved for the carpenters to carve engraving.

And once they are finished, ten engravings, it is not easy to print a thousand copies of the New Deal?

And these carpenters did not disappoint Chen Mu.

Ten carpenters worked through the night, and at last at noon the next day, each finished carving the engraving under his hands.

Chen Mu looked at these ten engravings and was still very satisfied.

This time, it was a matter of urgency, and it could only be printed with engraving first.

After a while, when he was free, he found some people to engrave some movable type.

Movable type printing, whether it is the imperial court issuing orders or private printing in the future, will be much more convenient.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Chen Mu, several carpenters brushed ink on the engraving plate, and then spread the entire sheet of paper.

When I took it down again, a complete copy of the full text of the New Deal appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this, the eyes of several carpenters widened as if they had seen some miracle.

These carpenters were illiterate, but now they watched as a complete new deal appeared under their hands in a matter of moments.

"I never thought this wood could be used like this!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a genius!"

The carpenters were so excited that they were a little incoherent, and there was a little more admiration in their eyes when they looked at Chen Mu.

I had long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had few geniuses, but they still didn't believe it.

Now that I see it, it's true.

He is worthy of the prince of the great summer! Such talents are truly rare in the world!

Soon, thanks to the efforts of a few people, all 1,000 copies of the New Deal had been printed by the evening.

When Chen Mu appeared on the top of the main hall with a thousand copies of the new policy, everyone stopped talking.

"A thousand new deals are here, please take a look." Chen Mu said to Chen Xingtian.

After speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Master Zhang defiantly.

"Master Zhang, is there anything else you want to say?"

"This thousand New Deals...... Do you know how much? ”

Lord Zhang's face suddenly turned red.

Even if Chen Mu is in the position of the crown prince, he is also his junior in terms of seniority.

was ridiculed so much by a junior in the court, although Lord Zhang was full of anger, he didn't dare to attack after all.

Chen Xingtian naturally did not hesitate to praise his own words, and praised Chen Muhao.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, and his mind is more meticulous than ordinary people.

Chen Xingtian flipped through several new policies and found something strange.

"Why do these new policies look exactly the same, no difference?"

That's the right question.

Prior to this, all the New Policies had been copied by hand.

Even if the same person has the same handwriting, there will always be some differences in the details.

However, there is no difference at all between the current new policies.

However, without waiting for Chen Mu to explain, Lord Zhang on the side suddenly grabbed the conversation.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that the prince must be a private guest in the house! ”

"Otherwise, a thousand copies of the new policy, ten carpenters will definitely not be able to copy it so quickly, please ask the emperor to check it!"

Chen Mu listened, only feeling ridiculous.

I really don't know how to slander myself, so I came up with such a clumsy excuse?

However, I didn't expect that after Mr. Zhang's words were finished, it actually caused a lot of echoes.

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have a private guest in the mansion!"

"Yes! There are so many new policies here, and I don't know how many people the prince has raised! ”

"I'm afraid there are more people than the emperor!"

Chen Xingtian frowned, raised his hand and knocked on the table to signal them to shut up, and then set his eyes on Chen Mu.

In the face of everyone's accusations, Chen Mu seemed very comfortable.

Not only did he not have a panicked look on his face, but he didn't even bother to speak for extra excuses.

It wasn't until the noise in the court subsided that Chen Mu spoke unhurriedly.

Of course, he was not explaining the non-existent private clientele, but the origin of these new policies.

"The new policies you see are not copied by people, but printed by me in engraving."

The ministers in the court exchanged puzzled glances.

Engraving? Printing?

These are unfamiliar terms that they have never heard of.

But looking at the prince's confident appearance, everyone didn't think he was joking.

Chen Xingtian was also confused by these words.

"Engraving? What is it? ”

Chen Mu had already prepared, and immediately turned his head and commanded outside the main hall.

"Here, bring in!"

Outside the door, the person arranged by Chen Mu immediately walked into the main hall carrying ten engravings.

Chen Mu casually pointed to one of the pieces and showed it to the others.

"Look, everyone, this is the engraving."

"Reverse the lettering on the wooden board, then brush it with ink, and then spread the paper on and press it tightly."

"After a few moments, the paper is removed and the glyph is printed in its entirety on the paper."

Chen Xingtian stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps, and approached the carvings to take a closer look.

He is not a fool, and neither are the ministers.

Chen Mu explained a little, and the people present basically understood the principle.

Indeed, printing words in this way is much faster than copying them by hand.

The only difficulty lies in the production of engravings, but this engraving can print thousands of copies!

But it's one thing to understand, it's another to be shocked.

It seems to be an extremely simple method, but no one has thought of it before.

Can this wood still be used like this? Can paper still be used like this?

Before they could recover from the shock, Chen Mu announced a second piece of news.

"Although this engraving printing is convenient, it is still flawed."

"What flaw?" Chen Xingtian hurriedly asked.

"This engraving can only print this kind of thing. When you find a craftsman to carve movable type in the future, wouldn't it be possible to print it casually? ”

Before everyone could recover from the impact of the engraving, they fell into an even greater shock again.

That's right! How could they not have thought of it!

If you have movable type, wouldn't it be possible to put the font together and then print it as you like?

With this method, it is much more convenient to read books.

You know, there are almost only one or two books on the market now, and they can only be borrowed.

Wealthy families can hire people to copy books, and those with relatively poor economic conditions can only copy them by hand.

And the appearance of this engraving has solved a big problem!

"Son, how did you come up with these methods?"

Chen Mu smiled silently.

Looking at that Master Zhang again, he was completely speechless at the moment.

I thought that the prince must have found a group of capable people from somewhere, so he dared to say this when he raised his head, trying to slander the prince.

However, I didn't expect that not only did I fail to slander the prince, but I also looked like a clown.
