Chapter 13: She's Doing Meritorious Service Again??
So after the day of the dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu came to the upper study again.
It was also his luck that when he arrived, he happened to catch up with the scene where Mrs. Cui asked Yun Shu to be punished for copying.
Obviously, judging from the news that Long Yingwei inquired, Yun Shu has copied "University" in the past ten days.
But at this moment, in front of Cui Taifu and Emperor Xuanwu, Yun Shu really took out a thick stack!
Twenty copies, one not much, one not many, and all the handwriting was from her, and there was a slight trace of quill writing that was not very obvious.
Emperor Xuanwu: "? ”
Hasn't she been playing with turnips lately?
Where did you get the time to copy such a thick pile!
Could it be that there is still a palace man in her palace who has learned to write with a quill early on, and even the handwriting is exactly the same?
But Long Yingwei didn't say anything!
And this, this handwriting is too similar!
Emperor Xuanwu quickly flipped through the twenty copies of the punishment that Yun Shu had handed over, trying to find the flaws of the "imitators".
But not at all.
This is a perfect imitation, every stroke and every stroke, even accurate to the point that Yun Shu copied to the last wrist when he made a mistake, it was exactly the same!
……
Well?
Wait, the mistakes are all exactly the same?
Finally realizing where the real problem came from, Emperor Xuanwu, who came back to his senses, turned to the front again, and took out the first page of each copy separately for comparison-
It's the same, it's the same!
If you want to say that this was written by two people, Emperor Xuanwu was the first to not agree!
But the problem, he still doesn't believe it when he says it's written by the same person!
Who can guarantee that every stroke they write will always be perfectly consistent?
It's simply impossible!
Realizing that this might be the answer he had been waiting for all these days, Emperor Xuanwu's hand holding the penalty trembled slightly,
It's just that so many people around him are watching, and he still habitually maintains his majestic temperament,
Only the pair of eyes staring at Yun Shu really couldn't be removed:
"What's going on?"
Yun Shu: ". ”
Very good, she has been hanging her heart beating wildly since Emperor Xuanwu pulled out all the first pages of each copy, and finally died.
I never expected that she spent a lot of money this time - 20 times of fines and plagiarisms that took three taels of silver, and she was not found by Mrs. Cui at any clues.
In the end, it was exposed by her dear father!
Can this cheap daddy still work?
She accepted his "bribe", and promised to temporarily wronged herself, and continued to endure the daily teaching torture of Mrs. Cui, the old Deng.
He didn't hurry up to deal with Mrs. Cui, but he still had time to run to expose such a harmless little trick as her?
Back! Stab! Dog!!
Yun Shu, who felt that he had been strongly betrayed, broke his defense and scolded in his heart, but he was still very quick on his face:
"That's it...... Printing......"
Her voice was very small, but Emperor Xuanwu still heard it clearly,
He continued to ask eagerly:
"What printing?"
Yun Shu: "? ”
Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? The Great Heavenly Dynasty actually didn't have printing?
That...... Isn't she doing it again?!
Boy!
Yun Shu instantly stood up and replied super confidently:
"That is, I can copy a hundred copies of the printing technology of the University in one hour!"
She is alone, one hour, a hundred copies of "University"!
Hiss...... What is this concept?
Think about why books are so expensive these days!
Because of scarcity.
Why scarcity? Because up to now, all the books in this world have been copied by readers who write well one stroke at a time.
And the reader itself is also a scarce resource,
Excluding the vast majority of the children of the nobles who do not need to make money by copying books at all, the few people who make money by copying books are left, even if they keep copying books whenever they have spare time, how many copies can they finish in a year?
In the process, it is necessary to remove books that are accidentally damaged every year or are too old to read......
Layered down, can this book be something that ordinary people can afford?
But now it's different, his little five can make a hundred children's books in an hour!
Emperor Xuanwu even subconsciously lowered his breathing a lot, as if he was afraid that if his voice was a little louder, he would scare the printing technique away:
"What do you mean, printing?"
"It's ......"
Yun Shu thought for a while and thought of the most understandable statement:
"Father, what is engraved on your jade seal?"
Emperor Xuanwu: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”
"If you want, can you print these eight words all over in a very short time?"
Yun Shu stretched out his hand and gestured a big one in front of him:
"Then if there is a seal the size of a piece of paper with a whole page of the contents of the book engraved on it, can it be done in a few clicks?"
"I see......"
Emperor Xuanwu suddenly realized:
"This is printing!"
It's so easy!
But before that, no one in the Manchu Dynasty thought of it, even with him, the emperor!
Is it hard?
No, it's not that hard, it's just that no one thinks about it at all!
Emperor Xuanwu was ecstatic in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately order the craftsmen to gather and print his 100,000 books as quickly as possible!
But at the moment when he was about to turn around, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly remembered another question-
"But I don't seem to have heard of when you had the University seal carved?"
"Isn't that reluctant?"
Yun Shu lowered his head shyly:
"Erchen's money bag finally got some money, the seal is too expensive,
So Erchen asked people to replace it with radishes, which could not be preserved for long, but were cheaper and better carved. ”
Emperor Xuanwu: "??? ”
Why does this sentence sound so familiar?
It seems that the last time she explicitly stated that he would give money, it was also a similar tone??
Forget it, give it, give it!
The princess of a dignified country is so poor that she takes a radish statue with a seal!
Maybe it was because Yun Shu's intention to ask for money was too obvious, Emperor Xuanwu was stunned to persuade himself to add money to her first, and then realized that a new problem seemed to be revealed in the second half of her words-
"What turnip can be that big?"
“…… Not a turnip big. ”
Yun Shu couldn't laugh or cry:
"Erchen asked people to carve word by word on the radish, and then put it together according to the content to be printed."
Oh......
Then he knew.
At this moment, in the past ten days, the strange content he heard from Long Yingwei also had an answer-
That day, after leaving his imperial study, Xiao Wu and Lao Liu got together and muttered about the content of the discussion, which was indeed about punishment and plagiarism.
