After the birth of hemp paper, the workshops in the Northland were busy.

Of course.

Before the large-scale production of hemp paper, the identities of all the artisan servants in the workshop were specially determined to ensure that they did not divulge the process of making the paper.

At the same time, the ink artists, led by Chen Zhi and Chen Ye, are still researching ways to make higher quality paper.

When Jin Yan first talked about "paper", although they thought it was novel, they didn't know that this kind of thing could really be made.

Now that hemp paper has been made, is the other paper still far away?

The hearts of the people were filled with hope.

They must make better paper, break the monopoly of the family on books, and let everyone in the world have books to read!

As long as the people read and read, they will understand a lot of truths, and it will not be so easy for the superiors to fool them.

The ink artist was so busy that he didn't even have time to sit down and drink tea, but Jin Yan, as the "inventor" of paper, didn't have much leisure.

After Zhong Xing came back, Princess Jinyang arranged a family banquet and sent people to invite some people who Xiao Budo trusted very much.

And Chen Xu, who made hemp paper, and several outstanding craftsmen are also invited.

At the beginning of the family banquet, Princess Jinyang asked Zhang An to present "hemp paper", and everyone was shocked when they saw it.

Paper?

Can you write on paper that can replace wooden tablets?

Zhang An brought a lot of paper, and those people looked at the four words "Guotai Min'an" written by Jin Yan, and praised Jin Yan for having great ambitions in the world, and at the same time, they couldn't help but write down their ambitions on it.

It will not faint ink, it is not easy to break, it is cheaper than silk, it is lighter than wooden tablets, this is simply a priceless treasure born for knowledge!

"Your Highness, a piece of paper, the benefit is in the present, and the merit is in the future!"

"Little master, this is a great thing that is enough to be famous for eternity!"

"Lord Weng is smart and dexterous, and he cares about the world, which is the blessing of the north and the blessing of the world!"

The farther and farther everyone talked, Princess Jinyang's smile became deeper and deeper.

Not to mention Zhong Xing, if he wasn't worried that doing things too much would bring danger to Jin Yan, he would like to publicize the beauty of Jin Yan's paper and Xiao Yan'er's exploits with great fanfare!

It is best for Xiao Yan'er to become the auspicious Rui of the Northland, the auspicious Rui of the world, so that everyone in the world only knows the Northland and does not know the court, then it is the best!

But.

In this way, Xiao Yan'er's reputation is too great, which will cause the court's jealousy.

Now is not the best time, and the power of the north cannot confront the court, in case the court sends an edict to let Xiao Yan'er go to the capital to be a proton, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, Zhong Xing quickly intervened to stop those people and successfully changed the topic.

Halfway through the family banquet, Xiao Jinan, who had already eaten, had already begun to run around the house, while Xiao Budo and Zhong Xing were discussing how to use paper as a medium to spread knowledge to the whole world.

There are thousands of books in the world, most of which are treasured by the family, if there is no way, it is even more difficult to get a glimpse of the collection than to ascend to the sky.

But this matter is easy to solve.

As long as you use drastic means, I believe that those families who can always make self-preservation choices at historical turning points will definitely be able to make the right decisions.

But the question is, once you have a book collection, how do you spread it?

Do you rely on copying?

Although the advent of paper has solved some of the drawbacks of using bamboo slips, it is only by hand copying, when and when can those books be copied?

That's a lot of work.

Just as everyone's discussion was intense, Xiao Jinan ran to Jin Yan's side and grabbed Jin Yan's hand nervously, "Sister, don't touch the knife!" ”

After speaking, he also shouted at Princess Jinyang, Xiao Budo and others, "Mother, eldest brother, second brother, cousin, sister is playing with knives!" ”

He had a loud voice, and as soon as he went out, the whole family feast was still.

Subsequently, Princess Jinyang, who instructed Zhang An to do something, and Xiao Budo, who had a heated argument with the doorman, both looked at Jin Yan.

"Yan, don't touch the knife." Xiao Budo said.

Zhong Xing glanced at Xiao Budo, and gently coaxed Jin Yan, "Xiao Yan'er, the knife is very dangerous, what do you want to do, let my brother do it for you." ”

Xiao Quji: "Brother help you." ”

Only Xiao Jin'an looked at it curiously on the table.

"Hey, sister, are you engraving?"

Xiao Jin'an curiously picked up a square piece of wood with the word "country" engraved on it.

He picked up a few more pieces and saw that they were engraved with the words "Tai", "Min", "An", "Wind", "Tune", "Rain" and "Shun".

"Guotai and the people are safe, the wind and rain are smooth?"

Everyone else was thoughtful.

Xiao Jinan asked directly, "Sister, is this also for me to play?" ”

Jin Yan was slightly helpless.

What does this little fool know besides playing?

She called Zhang An, "Uncle, bring me two pieces of paper." ”

Zhang An immediately sent two pieces of paper over.

He spread the hemp paper on the table, knelt down again, and pressed the hemp paper with his hand, "Does the lord want to write?" ”

Jin Yan said: "Yes and no. ”

Zhang An didn't know why.

Jin Yan asked people to send ink clay again.

She dyed the small squares engraved with "Wind and Rain, Smooth Country, Peace and Peace" one by one, and then sorted them in turn, leaving these eight characters on the hemp paper.

At this time, Princess Jinyang, Xiao Budo, Xiao Quji, Zhong Xing and others had already surrounded Jinyan.

As a family member, Princess Jinyang knows Jinyan the most, knows that she has never been playful, and everything she does has special significance.

This time, Jin Yan played with the knife in front of everyone, and there must be some deep meaning.

When the eight big characters of "Wind and Rain, Smooth Country, Tai and Min'an" were neatly arranged on the hemp paper, they seemed to have an understanding, but they still didn't understand what Jin Yan was going to do.

But Chen Ye of the Mo family seemed to have spied on a terrible opportunity, and the whole person trembled with excitement.

Jin Yan glanced at him, lowered his head again, reordered the eight characters, and then printed them one by one on the hemp paper.

Soon, she used these eight characters to arrange and combine them, and printed a piece of hemp paper full of words.

At this time, Chen Yu also reacted, and he, like Chen Ye, was red with excitement, and even his beard was shaking up and down.

Some people still didn't understand, "Lord Weng, what do you want to tell us?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by Zhong Xing for being a fool.

Zhong Xing is talented and very arrogant, and there are very few scholars in the north who have not been scolded by him.

Even, many people began to be proud of being scolded by Zhong Xing.

Although he saw the clues, he was unwilling to steal the limelight from Jin Yan, but looked at Jin Yan and let Jin Yan say it himself.

Princess Jinyang, they are the same.

Jin Yan sighed helplessly, so he had to briefly describe the printing technique, "Just like what I have just engraved, if you can engrave all the commonly used words, and then arrange them one by one according to the content to be printed, you can quickly rub out the content of a whole book, split it after printing, and then arrange it in other ways and print other books, so that you can save labor costs." ”

The crowd was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Jin Yan yawned.

After the hemp paper was made, she had the craftsmen make the squares out of useless wood, just to draw out the printing press.

Carving so many words, she was already very tired.

The rest is not his responsibility.

Everyone also saw her fatigue and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Princess Jinyang went over, picked up Jin Yan, and instructed everyone, "You must carefully discuss the matter of printing the book with the ink master, and you must do it well, and you must not disappoint your sister!" Don't let the people down! ”

Xiao Budo and the others bowed down one after another.

"Son, remember!"

"Remember, Ministers! Don't dare to forget! ”

Xiao Jinan was printing words on his face, and he also learned to bow down when he saw this.

"Ann, come with me."

Princess Jinyang hugged Jinyan and left with her stupid son Xiao Jinan, who had the words "Guotai Min'an" printed on his face.

But everything about printing has just begun.

Is everyone home?

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year to all! Good luck in the Year of the Dragon! All the best! All wishes come true!

You have to be happy~
