Chapter 22 Qin State Ascension, movable type printing

In the royal palace.

The great ritual music arose, followed by the etiquette of the princes to meet the Son of Heaven, which was undoubtedly extremely cumbersome in this era when the weekly rites had not completely collapsed.

And the next canonization ceremony is undoubtedly more cumbersome.

The main content of canonization is to grant the people and territory, that is, to give the land of a certain region and the people of this land to the princes, so that they can establish a princely state. When Duke Lu was entitled, he was also "the mountains and rivers of tin, and the vassals of Tutian". The people who were given the title were all local residents, not immigrants from other places. What the princes themselves brought to the feudal country was only Zhu Zongbushi, official servants and military servants.

Although the current Qin State actually controls the current huge territory, it has not yet been canonized by the Son of Heaven in name.

Now it's sealed.

Above the temple.

Zhou Tianzi Ji vented his heart and handed over the silk book representing "Mountains and Rivers of Tin, Tutian Vassals" and "Ge" representing the expedition to the monarch of Qin.

The monarch of the state of Qin bowed his head.

But that's not the end of it.

It wasn't until 10 days later that the process came to an end.

It undoubtedly cost a lot of money, even no less than the previous princes' tribute, but it is obvious that this is nothing for the current Zhou family.

At this time, Yingshi's original contempt for the Zhou Room also disappeared completely.

Being able to hold such a vast ceremony, the Zhou Room was not as decaying as he imagined.

So much so that when he ended, he was in an extremely respectful state for Zhou Tianzi.

"Son of Heaven, if you really are still the Son of Heaven."

Yingshi couldn't help but sigh and spoke.

"Monarch, I want to stay in Luoyi for a few days."

The martingale was silent, and after Yingshi spoke, he spoke abruptly.

"Sir, what is this?"

Yingshi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

"I heard that the crown prince Jin set up a school palace in Luoyi, recruited people from all over the world, and opened the book of the Tibetan room, I went over to take a look."

Looking at Yingshi's puzzled gaze, Shi Ying bowed his head and explained softly.

"The Academy?"

Ying Shi has naturally heard this thing called Xuegong these days.

He groaned for a moment, then nodded.

Today's monarchs and courtiers are not subordinate and subordinate relations, especially Shi Ying, the minister of the Jin State, and he is even more not.

The martingale needs to stay, and the stone is not easy to stop.

"Mr. can keep it for himself, but the widow is also quite interested in the Academy, if Mr. comes to Qin again, please tell the widow about it."

Yingshi smiled and spoke.

"He will live up to the king's hopes."

Shi Ying nodded solemnly.

Then the two separated.

Yingshi returned to Qin with the men and horses of Qin, while Shi Ying stayed behind and went to Jixia Academy.

As the monarch, Yingshi naturally cannot stay in Luoyi for a long time.

However, Shi Ying, on the contrary, did not have this aspect of consideration.

The figure of the martingale stepped forward and walked towards the place where he inquired.

At this time, the Jixia School Palace, in the rest of the month, has basically completed the preparations.

In the east of the city of Luoyi.

The site of a series of buildings, which was originally home to a residence of the Eastern Princes, has now been re-hung with a plaque.

On it, there are four quaint seal characters of "Jixia School Palace".

In order to get enough paper, the prince of the east directly took out the largest mansion in his city.

And this place has naturally become the location of the Jixia School Palace.

The rest of the month.

In the school palace, there are already a lot of people, although the history is not famous, but there are some signs of prosperity.

The martingale walked into it.

Then I started to ask where the book in the vault was.

He wanted to see this Jixia School Palace, naturally not for these so-called scholars, but for the book of the storage room, and the learning of the world is nothing more than the storage room.

Now that the crown prince Jin has opened the book of the storage room, how could Shi Yan miss it.

Soon, the martingale inquired about the location of the book in the guardhouse.

And when he walked in, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because in the entire library room, it is not the same as he imagined, tortoise shells, bamboo slips, and silk books, but an extremely strange existence.

There are not as many as expected.

It can even be said that there are few pitiful, only a few sporadic pieces.

Shi Ying frowned slightly, picked up one casually, and opened it gently.

Suddenly, a sense of softness pervaded, and when I opened it, eye-catching words came into view.

"What is this?"

Shi Ying's pupils contracted, and there was a shock in his expression.

Publicizing the book of the storage room, it is naturally impossible to make the original public, these original ones are not antiquities, in order to protect these antiquities, Ji Jin consulted Jiang Chen.

He sent someone to copy the tortoise shells, silk books, bronzes, and bamboo slips in the storage room and put them on paper, and under Jiang Chen's mention, they were loaded into books.

That's where we are today.

However, copying books is too slow, even if it is a month, there are only a dozen books in the Jixia School Palace.

The books in the storage room are only one percent.

in the room.

"Jin, today's transcription is too slow, why not engrave the words on the seal and make it with ink."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, seeing that Ji Jin had once again increased his manpower to prepare for further transcription, he couldn't help but mention it.

"Engraved in the print, stained in ink?"

Ji Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved.

"Yes, there are thousands of books in the storage room, and it is too laborious to copy them, so why not learn the method of seals?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Printing was originally derived from engraving, and there is nothing wrong with proposing it today.

"Please teach me!"

Ji Jin bowed his head again.

"Seal, engraved on the jade, copied in the silk book, can be engraved with the reverse word and mud or lead, the content of the spelling."

The words slowly spoke, and at this moment, Jiang Chen directly talked about movable type printing.

Although there was also engraving printing before movable type printing, it is clear that movable type printing is more convenient.

In contrast, engraving first, engraving is time-consuming, labor-intensive, second, a large number of book plates are inconvenient to store, and third, there are typos that are not easy to correct.

Movable type, on the other hand, does not have this disadvantage.

Listening to Jiang Chen's narration, Ji Jin's expression became brighter and brighter.

Whether it is engraving printing or living printing, in fact, there is no big technical difficulty, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be made, and in this era, it is naturally possible.

"Thank you for your teaching!!"

"I see!"

Ji Jin responded respectfully, and then the figure got up and hurriedly walked to the outside world.

Looking at Ji Jin, who was leaving in a hurry, Jiang Chen's face couldn't help but show a smile, and with the solution of Shouyuan's problem, his mentality seemed to have changed again.

Originally, he was in the storage room and didn't care about the world, and he didn't want to care about everything, he just wanted to wait for the time limit to come, as if he had returned to the youth at the beginning of the time.

That spirit seems to have returned.
