"Your Highness, this is the printing template you asked your ministers to make..."

Mo Feng's face was full of pride, pointing to some anti-text molds on the table, as if he was offering treasures to introduce Guo Tianyi.

"Yes, very good."

Guo Tianyi nodded and affirmed the achievements of Mo Feng and others.

This is what he remembers of movable type printing templates.

And the template made by Mofeng is still very fine.

With these things, the imperial court was able to print books in bulk.

In his memory, Gu Huaxia has been improving the production of paper since Cai Lun.

The writing materials were much lighter and more economical than the oracle bones, slips, gold and stones, and silk used in the past, but copying books was still very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If it is all copied by hand, it is far from meeting the needs of society.

And manual transcription is error-prone.

Once altered, a piece of paper is wasted.

Extremely inconvenient.

As a result, the method of copying and rubbing stone tablets later appeared in ancient China.

Movable type printing is one of the four great inventions of the Han working people in ancient China.

It began with the engraving printing of the Tang Dynasty, and was developed and perfected by Bi Sheng in the era of Song Renzong, resulting in movable type printing.

First, make a single word of the Yang text reverse text mold, and then according to the manuscript to select the single words, arrange them in the word plate, ink printing, and then remove the word mold after printing, and leave it for the next typesetting to be used again.

This is one of the greatest technological revolutions in history.

It is also a label for the progress of human civilization.

Hundreds of years earlier than in the West.

Under the guidance of Guo Tianyi, this technology was able to emerge.

Hearing Guo Tianyi's appreciation, Mo Feng slapped the dragon's fart, "This is all Your Highness's wise and martial arts, Your Highness, you are the reincarnation of the gods...."

"Lord Mo is right, Your Highness, you are the reincarnation of the gods..."

"Your Highness, how did you know the design concept of so many treasures?"

"Didn't you say it, Your Highness is the reincarnation of an immortal, how can mortals like me think that there is such a magical thing in the world?"

"That is, His Highness is a man of God..."

The rest of the people also began to gossip.

These Mohists already worship inventors.

In addition, Guo Tianyi provided so many advanced concepts, and they worshiped them even more.

"Alright."

"All of them are flamboyant."

"This king is only providing ideas, and it is you who are really putting it into practice."

Guo Tianyi glanced at everyone angrily, and then said, "Mofeng, increase the production of movable type printing templates, and then send them to the Ministry of Industry to start the printing plan." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The head of Mo Fengjaw ordered, and then said, "Your Highness, look here. ”

Immediately, Mo Feng led Guo Tianyi to the armament production area.

Here, there are new saddles, stirrups, weapons and many other items designed by Guo Tianyi.

The cavalry of this era did not have a saddle at all, but wore a simple cloth on the back of the horse, which was far less than the mature armament of ancient China in later generations.

So Guo Tianyi ordered people to start making saddles in batches.

At the same time, there are also improved sabers.

After adding some rare metals, there is already a shadow of steel.

Both sharpness and toughness have been greatly improved.

The embroidered spring knife used by Jinyiwei is this new alloy.

Compared with the previous pure iron broadsword, it is better, I don't know how many extraordinary.

"Not bad."

"The production of these things has also been stepped up, and they can be equipped for the use of the elites when the time comes..."

Guo Tianyi seemed to be a leader inspecting, and was quite satisfied with the results of Mo Feng and others.

In this era, a hundred flowers are blooming, and there are many talents from all factions.

These are their own fruits.

As long as you know how to use people well, you can definitely make Dafeng unique.

Not for a while.

Guo Tianyi came to the farm tool production area again.

The ancient economy was dominated by agriculture.

It is also necessary to develop and improve agriculture.

In the design drawings provided by Guo Tianyi, there is a Quyuan plough from ancient China.

In ancient times, the tools of production were an important factor in productivity.

A certain type of means of production indicates a certain level of productivity.

The improvement and widespread adoption of agricultural tools in ancient China played an important role in the development of agricultural production in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty used to have a long and cumbersome straight plow, which was difficult to turn and laborious to plough the land.

In the long-term production practice, the working people in the Jiangnan area improved the inventions of their predecessors and created the Quyuan plow.

The same is true of the peasants of Dafeng, who use long, bulky straight ploughs.

Compared with the previous plough, the curved plow has several major improvements.

First of all, the straight wheel, the long wheel is changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, but also is convenient for turning and turning, the operation is flexible, and the manpower and livestock are saved.

Looking at the huge and exquisitely structured Quyuan plough in front of him, Guo Tianyi stroked it lightly and said in surprise, "Contact the household department immediately, mass produce this thing, and then promote it in Shuntianfu..."

Who knows, this time Mo Feng sang the opposite tune, and said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, this song is good, but it is extremely difficult to promote it?" ”

"Why is that?"

Guo Tianyi was puzzled and said, "Isn't this just an agricultural production tool?" What's the difficulty? ”

Because Guo Tianyi does not understand the specific conditions of the people, nor does he know how difficult the life of today's peasants is.

Even in the so-called prosperous era of ancient China, everyone has only reached the level of having a full stomach.

Such prosperous times add up, and throughout ancient China, all the prosperous times add up to less than three hundred years.

For most of the rest of the year, the peasants lived without food.

"Your Highness, that's right." Jin Gui stood up and arched his hand, "Your Highness, you may not know that in addition to paying public grain and exorbitant taxes, today's peasant households have barely enough rations to survive, and there is no extra money and food at home..."

Jin Gui, as a talent in charge of business under Guo Tianyi, is the one who knows the people's feelings best.

He has traveled from south to north for many years and knows the consumption level of farmers.

The cost of the curved plow is not simple, and the production is not so easy, so a curved plow is as high as two taels of silver.

There must also be ploughing cattle to drive it.

You must know that some ordinary families don't even have cows, and even several families have one cow.

This is not counting the long-term labor of some peasant households in order to earn more money.

Later, some people simply worked for the landlord's family, and the landlord continued to swallow the land.

To put it mildly, the curved plough is a chicken rib at present.

Rich people don't look down on it, because labor is cheap.

The poor could not afford it, and a few taels of silver were astronomical to them.

"Moreover, the minister has already tried to sell it, but no one cares about it at all...."Jin Gui said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, I can't hide it, the more than 100 Quyuan plows made this time are now piled up in the warehouse..."

Guo Tianyi's main money at present is white paper and glass.

But you can't stand it?

First of all, expanding the factory and recruiting workers is a big expense.

The production lines and the production of armaments cannot be directly realized.

Nowadays, the production of curved ploughs is basically idle.

If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to make ends meet?

"Expensive."

"Are you a pig's brain?"

"Who said you sold this thing?"

After Guo Tianyi listened to Jin Gui's report, he immediately remembered another way.

Everything has been produced, how can you eat ashes?

If you don't know how to be flexible, you will definitely lose money.

Can you do a loss-making business?
