For the praise of these carpentry masters, Huang Yueying was embarrassed to accept it.

But there is no way, in this era, it is only a little more than a month for new paper to be made that is easy to write, who would have thought of a matching printing machine?

It could only be her.

Two kinds of printing, engraving and movable type, each has its own advantages, movable type seems to be more convenient, but in fact, in the original Chinese history, engraving printing is dominant.

Just because the Chinese people's Chinese illiteracy rate is really too high, the shops that print books do not have so many manual proofreading of movable characters.

There are 100,000 Chinese characters, but only a few thousand are commonly used, according to later statistics, 1,000 commonly used words can basically cover 92% of the written information, 2,000 words can cover more than 98%, and the statistical results of simplified and traditional Chinese are not much different.

She wanted to print movable type in one step, but in the end, she had to consider the actual situation, first study the engraving, understand the technology thoroughly, and then consider the matter of movable type.

Besides, she's just a dozen carpenters now...... There is only one who can carve the seal, and the others can only draw and carve the flowers.

At the moment, with Sun Sui as the main and Li Mu as the auxiliary, let this group of people study as soon as possible.

As for the content, it is naturally a broken version of the "Three Character Classic" copied by her, which is used in the ethnology class, and the signature is a flower planter.

She's embarrassed to sign her name and ask for face.

arranged these, Song Bo admired his little lady so much, out of the workshop, still talking all the way.

"Okay, Uncle Song, please take care of this matter, next month you will go to all parts of Jingzhou to supervise the construction of new workshops, and cultivate someone who can take over you as soon as possible." Huang Yueying explained.

Song Bo's group of people, she wants them to go outside to supervise the construction of new workshops, and the workshops here in Chuyang need someone to take over their work.

Now that the money and food are in place, of course, they can blossom everywhere.

However, before that, she still has to go to Xiangyang to sweep away the resistance that may be encountered in the process, in short, to go to Liu Biao to get paperwork, and to Cai Mao and Kuai Liang to get support.

Other families should also come to the door.

On the fifth day of the new year, Pang Degong took the lead in taking his family to Chuyang, just to look at Chu Paper, and by the way, to visit old friends.

"Brother Shang! Long time no see! When Huang Chengyan saw Pang Degong, his face was full of smiles, "Please!" ”

"Brother Chengyan, I haven't been here for a year, so I've changed so much?" Pang Degong pointed to the workshop in the distance and the working hydraulic mortar.

"Haha, it's all Achu fooling around." Huang Chengyan said that Huang Yueying was messing around, but his tone was full of pride.

Although papermaking is a craftsman's business, it is an elegant thing.

"Achu has seen Uncle Pom." Seeing Pang Degong, Huang Yueying naturally said hello, "I've seen the mountain people's brother and sister-in-law." ”

Then, Pang Shanmin and his wife Zhuge also greeted Huang Chengyan and greeted Huang Yueying.

After a short time, Cai came out and invited the guests into the house and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Pang Degong unceremoniously asked Huang Chengyan to bring the first-class paper, he had been in seclusion in the mountains before, and he returned to Xiangyang near the beginning of the year, but he didn't want to, but there was such a thing as Chu paper.

It didn't take long for the family's inventory to be used up by him, and Pang Shanmin couldn't save it even if he wanted to.

So just after the first year of the year, Pang Degong directly brought his son and daughter-in-law to Chuyang.

Huang Chengyan listened to this explanation, laughed, and asked Zhou Yang to get the paper.

Pang Degong was satisfied, and then looked at the little girl sitting next to Huang Chengyan, and said, "Achu has grown a lot taller, and his body looks better than before." ”

"Yes, last year, Achu had a cold, but fortunately it's better now." Huang Chengyan touched his daughter's head.

He has only been home for more than a month, and Cai has cried with him many nights, talking about the events at that time, for fear that his daughter will not be able to survive.

But when he came home, he found that his daughter was not only cured, but also more lively, more and more eccentric, and his appetite for food was much better than before, and he was of course happy.

What the girl wants to do, he, as a father, will of course support it.

"That'll be fine." Pang Degong nodded, if this little girl didn't survive at that time, his old friend, I am afraid that I would be sad, and then took off a piece of jade pendant from my waist and beckoned to Huang Yueying, "Achu, come." ”

Of course, Huang Yueying couldn't refuse, stood up, and when she arrived at Pang Degong's position, she knelt aside, "Uncle Pom." ”

"This Yujue is also with me as a teenager, today, I will send it to Achu, I hope Achu can grow up safely."

"The elder gives, don't dare to resign." Huang Yueying had to take it, "Thank you, Uncle Pom." ”

"He's just thinking about getting more paper in a while." Huang Chengyan ruthlessly debunked.

Pang Degong immediately pointed at Huang Chengyan and laughed, "You! ”

Huang Chengyan naturally laughed, the two have known each other for so many years, who still doesn't know who?

The main hall was bustling.

Of course, Huang Yueying is not the first time to see such a scene, in my memory, the relationship between the old father and Pang Degong is really good, and they visit each other a lot.

"Second lady! Two ladies! Printed out, printed out! Song Bo's delightful voice suddenly came in.

Huang Yueying immediately stood up and ran outside, and saw that in the courtyard, Song Bo cautiously held a piece of paper full of words and ran towards the main house, "Uncle Song, slow down." ”

……

"What's printed?" Inside the house, Pang Degong saw Huang Yueying running out, so he asked Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan touched his beard proudly, "Elder Brother Shang will go and see it." ”

He said so, but he also stood up and walked out.

"You!" Pang Degong glared at Huang Chengyan again, there was no way, curious!

Listening to the man's voice, he was very excited, and it was a big deal.

So, he also stood up, and Pang Shanmin and Zhuge Clan behind him naturally had to accompany him.

……

On the wooden corridor under the eaves, Huang Yueying took the three-character scripture with part of the content printed and looked at it carefully.

The handwriting is clear, neat, and all in block letters, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.

"At the beginning of man, his nature is good."

"Sex is similar, Xi is far away."

Behind Huang Yueying, her old father's voice came, "I never thought that this printing research would be so fast?" ”

Huang Yueying smiled, "Father, this is not a difficult thing, there was no such convenient paper in the past, no one thought of it." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all our Achu smart!" Huang Chengyan took the paper from Huang Yueying's hand, and praised his little girl with a smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Pound stood still, looked at the paper in his hand, and his eyes widened, wanting to take it and look at it, but he was afraid that he would break it.

"Take it, take it!" Huang Chengyan handed it over, and Pang Degong took it carefully and carefully, and then several heads looked together.

Huang Yueying didn't care about this, but asked Song Bo about the situation, "Uncle Song, this whole board was carved by Sun Lao?" ”

"Yes, since the day before yesterday, Sun Lao carved about 100 words, to yesterday, carved more, to this five constants, not to be disorderly, a total of 288 words, because the trial wood has been carved full, then took the paper and tried to print, it became, this was given to the little lady to bring over."

"This ...... Old Sun is old, let him rest for a day. Huang Yueying was helpless, why were these people more anxious than her.

"He saved, during the day, he carved the font, and at night, it was Li Mu who held the lamp and continued to carve the words downward."

Huang Yueying: They are all good guys, in order to catch up with work, the night shift has been done.

"Several other carpenters who can carve are supposed to carve, and they are also carved in a good way." Song Bo talked about the progress of the others.

Huang Yueying waved her hand, "After work today, ask Sun Lao and Li Mu to go back early, and ask Aunt Li to leave five catties of meat for each of them to take back." Then he went to the storehouse and gave each of the thirteen carpenters an extra twenty pounds of corn. ”

"No, I'll go to Steward Zhou later." Song Bo smiled and responded, and then went back to the workshop.

Huang Yueying looked at the appearance of the first few "adults" in the back, okay, you can watch it if you like, anyway...... It's all already printed.

"What do you mean by this tadpole and this little circle?" Pang Degong asked suddenly.

Huang Chengyan still touched his beard, smiled without saying a word, pointed at Huang Yueying, and motioned for his daughter to answer.

Huang Yueying feels that such Huang Chengyan is very similar to the parents of children who show off their grades in later generations: This year, my child won the top three students and took the first ...... in the exam

Honestly, it's funny.

So he opened his mouth to explain, "Uncle Pom, this is the "Three Character Classic", which will be used in my Huang family study this year, so that children can easily remember." ”

"As for this tadpole and the small circle, it represents the broken sentence."

"When children learn articles, they often don't know what they mean, and they have a lot to do with broken sentences. Tadpole-like ones indicate a pause and the words are not finished, while small circles indicate that the words have been spoken. ”

"Oh! Who came up with this? After Pang Degong, Pang Shanmin became excited, he was in charge of the Pang clan's clan studies, and occasionally had to go to teach, with this method, the children would learn much easier.

"Eh, it's a master called a flower planter!" Huang Yueying thought about it and still insisted on this name.

Even if her name is useless in front of her old father.

But as long as the old father doesn't break it, Pang Degong and they will think that there is such a person.

"Flowers? So where is this layman? Pang Degong asked, "He also made this article?" ”

"Exactly. As for where the layman was, Achu didn't know. ”

"I only know that his practice is to read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and travel all over the world, and Achu only met by chance." Huang Yueying made up the story.

"Why haven't I heard of it before?" Pang Degong then looked at Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan: ...... Don't look at me, what my daughter said is true! That's weird!

"I don't know."

"It's a pity, if you have a fate, I really want to talk to this layman!" Pang Degong sighed, "This paper is only half an article, what about the rest of the articles?" ”

Huang Chengyan sighed, "Achu go get it." ”

"Okay."
