Chapter 126: I'm the Emperor, I'm the Biggest
made Liu Zhidu funny, how did he feel like a bully young master who bullied a woman from a good family.
"How's the preparation for Hanlin Garden?"
Liang Budo replied cautiously, "We are stepping up the selection of personnel, and they are all people who are dedicated to studying." ”
"Very good, you can call the shots on this, I believe in your vision."
Liu Zhi soothed a few words, and then continued, "Today I want to tell you another thing. ”
"Your Majesty, please command, the ministers will listen."
Liang Budo immediately bowed and saluted, Liu Zhi sighed secretly in his heart, he was too frightened, too humble.
"I thought that Hanlin Yuan needed a lot of copying every day, which was time-consuming and laborious, and wouldn't it be better if there was any way to print the sorted books?"
"Printing...... What does that mean? ”
Okay, that's not the word yet, but that's okay, it's going to be from today.
"I was inspired by the matter of seals, if I carved a base plate from a single piece of wood and then rubbed it with ink, wouldn't it be possible to print a whole page?"
The current technology of movable type printing is not yet mature, and he does not plan to promote it for the time being, but if the art of printing is very mature today, it is the right time to promote engraving printing.
He was so good at seduction, Liang Budo really listened to his eyes brightly, most of the literary people at this time were masters of India, and they knew the inside story.
"Although it costs a lot to print a book, it is wonderful to think that the same set of engravings can print thousands of identical sets of books."
Liang Budo was thrilled when he heard this, "Your Majesty is really a celestial man, if this move is successful, it will benefit all the people and live for generations." ”
"Hahaha......"
Liu Zhi hid his embarrassment with laughter, he was just stealing the collective wisdom of the ancients.
In addition to printing, in fact, papermaking also has to be improved, Cai Lun created papermaking, reduce the cost of papermaking, but the paper is still not good, too rough, not tough enough.
He had already instructed Shaofu to study and improve it, and although he didn't know the details of the ancient paper-making process, he knew a little bit about it.
In order to make high-quality paper suitable for writing, they were asked to try to use mulberry bark and various rattan bark as raw materials.
Add some vegetable glue to the papermaking process to make the paper smoother.
I believe that after getting these tips, the craftsmen of Shaofu will not be long before they can make white and smooth paper that is truly suitable for writing after trial and error.
"Okay, you can find some people to test it together, this is not in a hurry, take your time."
Today, he wants to find Liang Budo to study, in addition to the matter of engraving and printing, there is a more important issue.
"I review the recitals every day, and for the endless articles, I feel that it is particularly troublesome to break the sentences, and I have wasted a lot of time."
In ancient times, there were a large number of dense articles, and it was difficult for people who did not have any literary literacy to read them smoothly.
This is very detrimental to children's enlightened learning, and it is also inconvenient for the promotion of culture.
"This ...... From ancient times to the present, this is the case with the sage article, I'm afraid it's not good to change it, right? ”
Liang Budo is conservative and unwilling to make changes, he has expected it a long time ago, but this person has a cowardly personality and has no opinions, as long as he continues to insist, he will exert a little more pressure......
Hey......
Anyway, if you are an emperor, you have to take advantage of it.
"The sage's essay is naturally good, but you have to think that not everyone has the literary literacy of yours.
It takes a lot of time just to learn to break sentences, and it's really not worth it. ”
Liu Zhi sank his face and made a very impatient appearance, and sure enough, the timid and cowardly Liang Budo immediately didn't dare to insist anymore.
"Since Your Majesty said so, it naturally makes sense, may I ask how Your Majesty's meaning should be changed?"
Seeing that he was as good as a stream, Liu Zhi was very satisfied, but the promotion of punctuation marks takes time, and the time is not yet ripe at this time.
"Well, when you copy a book, if you come across a place where you need to break a sentence, you should leave a blank space of one word, how about it?"
The method he said was more convenient to implement and easier to accept by the people at the time, so it could be regarded as a transition.
Liang Budo thought about it and felt that it was okay, and besides, he really didn't have the courage to play against Liu Zhi.
"That's very good, according to your majesty's words."
Liu Zhi was secretly happy in his heart, and when they got out the engraving printing technique, and then printed tens of millions of sets in this new format, everyone's habits would be imperceptible and would soon be automatically changed.
"Tomorrow I will issue another edict, and in the future, anyone who gives me a fold will do so, otherwise I will refuse to accept it."
Anyway, I'm the emperor and I'm the biggest, you have to listen if you don't listen, such a small thing, even if he is willful, no one will take it seriously.
Liang Budo reluctantly agreed, and quickly said goodbye and withdrew, only to feel cold on his back when he arrived at the door, but it turned out that his clothes were already wet with cold sweat.
Alas, he is really not suitable for dealing with the emperor, as for the things that Liu Zhi explained, Liang Budo is to raise the spirit of 120,000 points, and he has to work overtime to get it out quickly.
Here Liu Zhi looked out the window and felt powerless, he was not a high-achieving student in science and engineering, and there was no way to invent and copy some mechanical and chemical things to rejuvenate the country with science and technology.
He only knows a few things like the skin, so he can only slowly recall them while letting the craftsmen of Shaofu explore and experiment in various ways.
At the very least, he pointed out the direction and the big idea, and it was not unintentional to study.
On a hot day, even if the hall was cool and ventilated, he felt a little hot, and Zhang Rang brought him two glasses of sweet wine with ice cubes with a very clear face.
This wine is filled with honey, and it tastes good, but there is no sugar at this time, except for honey, there is only grain caramel.
Eh, no, last autumn and winter, he remembered that he had eaten sugarcane from Yizhou.
Wouldn't it be easy to make sugar now that there is sugar cane?
Thinking of this, he was interested again, the method of making sugar from sugar cane is actually very simple, he saw others do it when he was a child, and he was somewhat impressed.
The process is simple, washing, crushing, pressing, then boiling, filtering, coagulation, and finally cutting into slices of sugar.
Although the quality is not as good as sugar, it is more convenient than today's caramel sugar, and as long as the sugar cane production increases, the sugar industry will also develop rapidly.
But this time, he didn't take it for himself, so as not to make people wonder, so he pretended that it was Nanban Jinjin, and no one dared to find him out anyway.
After writing the process, he suddenly realized that this piece of sugar was sold, but it was not much worse than the profit of liquor, and if he took it out like this, wouldn't it be cheaper for those guys.
No, he had to make enough money himself.
Well, who will handle it this time?
Just Dong Ban, he is in Wuling County, close to the production area of sugar cane in the south, and besides, he has only subdued a large number of bandits and has nothing to do.
Letting them change careers to become craftsmen also solves their livelihood problems, killing two birds with one stone.
