He Qiu said to Zhu Di that he He Qiu had all the books in the library. All you need is Zhu Di to transfer manpower, help carve the wax board, and find some books.

By the way, he threw the wax plate printing technology to Zhu Di, Zhu Di didn't care about it when he got it, there was engraving printing, why bother to do such a troublesome thing as a wax board.

He Qiu smiled and said nothing, and only said four words, the official document of the imperial court.

Zhu Di immediately realized the benefits of this technology, and the official documents worn by the court were now copied by the officials, which was slow and prone to errors.

If it is printed with movable type, each time the word is different, it is particularly troublesome to find it in thousands of movable type, and a set of copper movable type is extremely expensive, not every yamen can afford to use it.

As far as Zhu Di knows, it seems that the royal family and the Hanlin Academy each have a set.

And engraving printing is not cost-effective, after printing an official document, the extremely expensive engraving can only be chopped as firewood.

The wax printing technology given by He Qiu is simple and easy to use, and the cost is very low, as long as it is produced on a large scale, the court officials can be exempted from the pain of copying official documents.

Zhu Di, who reacted quickly, also thought of another use, that is, a collection of poems and essays sung by the association of young scholars.

Every time these societies published new anthologies, the content was very small, no more than twenty or thirty pages, and most of them circulated in their societies.

If it is printed according to engraving and movable type, it is too cumbersome, and it is better to copy it directly by hand. If you use this wax printing machine, dozens of anthologies will be printed in less than a day, which will be more convenient for scholars to form associations and exchanges.

But is that a good thing? If the scholars slander the court in private, it is more convenient to use this wax printing machine.

Zhu Di told He Qiu about this concern, He Qiu smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Zhu Di to be so keen, and he immediately grasped the disadvantages of the comprehensive promotion of wax printing machines, and his speech was too free.

I think that back then, during the French Revolution, those revolutionary parties used such wax printing machines to produce a large number of leaflets and spread revolutionary ideas.

If you look at it from this aspect, it is indeed very harmful.

However, He Qiu said two more points, "You see that the literary style in Jiangnan is now prosperous, and even if there is a north-south list, it can't stop the local scholars from coming out." The reason for this is not that the north has been suffering from war for a long time and the people's livelihood has withered. ”

"In the states and counties of the northwest and southwest, there is not even a decent collection of Cheng Mo's essays every year. If local students want to obtain Cheng Mo, they can either ask someone else to borrow a handcopy, or slowly wait to buy the anthology of Fuzhou County. ”

"If there are a few such machines in the local area, it will definitely greatly improve the study style of the remote and poor states and counties, and there will be many more jinshi. At that time, most of the officials in the court will not be out of Huaixi and Jiangnan. ”

Zhu Di was thrilled when he heard this, this was really beneficial to consolidating the rule of his Zhu dynasty, and this move alone could benefit countless students in poor states and counties, and gain the hearts of the people in one fell swoop.

immediately clapped the board, and asked his subordinates to find craftsmen to make wax printing machines according to the information given by He Qiu.

However, Zhu Di came to find He Qiu this time, not for this, but for the blast furnace.

The blast furnace had swallowed another 50,000 tons of pig iron, producing a huge amount of steel, and the blacksmiths had no time to make weapons, and the steel in the warehouse was piled up.

He Qiu thought about it and suggested that Zhu Di try hydraulic forging, but there was no way, he didn't get the stamping machine, so he could only use the modern stupid method to drag the forging hammer with water power and knock it down, anyway, no matter how he got it, it would be much faster than manual work.

He Qiu couldn't help but say more, "I suggest you put this blast furnace near Xishan, the backyard of the palace is too unsafe and too troublesome." ”

"Actually, if you think about it, even if this blast furnace is in Xishan, it will also build ordnance for the imperial court, but the workshop is here, you can't run with your legs open, you can still control this workshop."

Zhu Di hesitated, "I'll discuss it with Master Yao." ”

Seeing Zhu Di's attitude, He Qiu couldn't say anything more.

After Zhu Di went out, He Qiujing thought very much, and just took advantage of the fact that he had nothing at hand now, and planned to take a look at his blast furnace.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard where the blast furnace was located, I saw Ou Xuelan constantly recording things there, still muttering to herself.

He Qiu leaned over to take a look, it turned out that he was recording the operation of the blast furnace, but he couldn't understand what this woman wrote, and He Qiu didn't have professional knowledge in iron smelting.

He Qiu watched from the side for a long time before Ou Xuelan noticed him.

Seeing He Qiu coming, Ou Xuelan immediately eagerly grabbed his arm, "How did you build this so-called blast furnace, this blast furnace is more than the steel that my Ou family has beaten for a hundred years, and the quality is better than mine." ”

He Qiu spread his hands, "I don't know, I only know that it can be used, I don't know the principle." ”

Ou Xuelan was angry, grabbed He Qiu's collar, and shouted impatiently: "Come on, you don't know what this means in my eyes!" ”

Yes, if there are ten blast furnaces in the world, I am afraid that the iron-smelting technology that her Ou family is proud of will be completely wasted, and no one will ask them to build weapons again.

After all, the molten steel that comes out of this furnace is of good quality and can produce 10,000 catties per day, so why bother to ask for their Ou family?

At that time, their Ou family may only have the name of a descendant of Ou Yezi left, and they will be reduced to ordinary civilians from then on.

He Qiu was extremely impatient, but seeing Ou Xuelan's anxious eyes, he couldn't bear to let her have no way out.

I took out the original supporting blast furnace construction manual from the space, threw it to Ou Xuelan, straightened my collar, and dropped a sentence, you can study it slowly.

Then he left from the blast furnace, He Qiu saw that Ou Xuelan was so obsessed with blast furnace technology, and he was half of his heart about this piece, with such a professional watching, he didn't have to worry about the blast furnace in the future.

There are only firearms fa she yao, and he still needs to worry about it, but this is not in a hurry, and now the black huo yao is purified, and it is enough to take it as an example, in the final analysis, it is necessary to cultivate people who can study these things.

He Qiu made a reasonable excuse for his laziness.

Counting the things he had to do, the site of the academy was built with horses and watched, Zhu Di was definitely more concerned than him, and the workshop could be handed over to Ou Xuelan with confidence and boldness, the beer and fried chicken were handed over to the princess, and the apprentices Chen Siwei and Zhu Gaochi could take it with them in the future.

In this way, He Qiu himself is fine again, it's okay, it's okay, nothing is light!

Thinking of this, He Qiu's restless heart began to stir again.

If you want to add more fun to yourself in the future of Daming, do it when you think of it!

It's a pity that the "Dream of Red Mansions" is only read by myself, if it is printed on a large scale, so that the talents of the early Ming Dynasty can also enjoy this strange book, will the novel market in the Ming Dynasty become more hot?

I wonder if there can be a lot of excellent works that I didn't have in my previous life.
