Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1241
Princess Changle, who was a little shy and nervous at first, was a little unhappy when she heard this, she pouted slightly and said, "Father, it's true, isn't it just to resist the decree, what a big deal, and you still have to hit Langjun's board, and Langjun will stand up!" What a great feat you have done!"

Empress Changsun also nodded and said: "That's right, Su Cheng is really busy, and he didn't intend to resist the order. Your Majesty is a holy king. How can you punish Su Cheng for such a trivial matter? If Your Majesty criticizes Su Cheng for this, then Will there be such achievements as movable type printing in the future?"

Li Shimin almost vomited blood when he heard it. Isn't it just resisting the decree?What's the big deal?If this is seriously pursued, it can be decapitated!

Of course, Li Shimin actually just wanted to pretend in front of the queen. After all, the emperor also wanted face. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if Su Cheng refused to obey the edict and kept silent?
Of course, he also knew that if he really beat Su Cheng because of this matter, it is estimated that the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty would intercede for Su Cheng, even the queen and daughter would intercede for Su Cheng, and even the common people in the market would feel that He, the emperor, treats his heroes lightly.

Therefore, Li Shimin was just talking, thinking about having a mouthful, but never thought that he couldn't even enjoy it.

Li Shimin waved his hands and said in embarrassment: "I'm just talking, how could I really beat Su Cheng!"

Sujiazhuang, Su Cheng jumped off the horse and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Cheng Chumo and the others were dumbfounded: "You, are you really going home?"

Su Cheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I've said it countless times, I really just want to go home, and I'm not going to do anything else."

"Hurry up and do whatever you want!" Su Cheng waved his hands and strode into the inner courtyard with a feeling of impatience.

Cheng Chumo and the others were a little disappointed at first, but then they became happy again. After all, they followed Su Cheng today and got praise and rewards from the emperor.

What are you waiting for?Hurry up and go home!
Su Cheng didn't manage Cheng Chumo and the others, because he knew that Cheng Chumo and the others would only be disappointed for a while, and then they would show off proudly everywhere.

Throwing the small lead, Su Cheng strode into the upper room.

Cui Mo and a few little maids were wiping around with a rag. Su Cheng looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where's Changle? Where's Wu Jue?"

"Grandpa came back so early? The princess has gone to the palace, sister Jue is playing chess with sister Xiao!" Cui Mo put down the rag, and replied while washing her hands with water.

"Going to the palace? Didn't you say when you'll be back?" Su Cheng was very disappointed when he heard that.

Cui Mo shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Even the emperor's discussion was postponed, and he rushed back excitedly, but Changle actually went to the palace.

Just as he was talking, Wu Jue walked in with lotus steps, and said with a smile, "Yeah, the lord is back so early? Is there any progress? Don't lose the bet? They've been preparing for it all the time!"

Wu Jue's affectionate pair of phoenix eyes blinked and blinked, very attractive.

Su Cheng tossed the small piece of lead type in his hand, and said with a smile, "Look, what is this?"

Wu Jue's eyes immediately fell on the small thing in Su Cheng's hand, and he asked suspiciously: "What is this? Is this what you prepared to make your name go down in history?"

Su Cheng nodded slightly proudly: "Of course, I still bet with you for five days, but in fact it was completed in one day!"

Finished in one day?Can this little thing in Su Cheng's hand go down in history?
"What is it? Let me see!" Wu Jue said as he curiously stepped forward to take the small lead in his hand.

Wu Jue observed curiously, and asked in confusion: "What is this? Isn't this a small piece of lead, oh, and there are words engraved on it, oh, it's reversed, that's it? Just this will be famous in history?"

Wu Jue's phoenix eyes were full of doubts. Although she was willing to let Su Cheng win the bet, Su Cheng was too perfunctory, right?

Su Cheng asked with a leisurely smile, "Do you know how books are printed?"

Wu Jue replied without hesitation: "Of course I know this. It is printed out after engraving on wood and then stained with ink."

This is related to happiness, so Su Cheng explained patiently: "Now printing books is to carve a page on a piece of wood, and then print it out."

Wu Jue nodded and said, "Yes, isn't that the case?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "But, this is very troublesome, that is, when printing another book, it needs to be re-engraved. This will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, so the price of the book remains high."

"As for me, I just wanted to carve out individual characters, and then arrange and combine them according to the content of the book when printing the book. This will save time and effort, and the printing of books will become easier and faster, and the price of the book will come down. It will allow more people to buy and read books!"

Wu Jue opened his cherry mouth with a dull face: "Yes, such a simple truth, why did no one think of it before? A small change, the effect is turned upside down!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "You think it's that simple?"

Wu Jue asked with some doubts: "Isn't it?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Think about how many people in this world print books for a living. How could no one have thought of such a simple question?"

That's right, so many people in this world make a living by printing books, it's impossible that no one has thought of this, after all, the three cobblers are even better than Zhuge Liang!

Wu Jue asked suspiciously: "Then why hasn't anyone done this all the time?"

Su Cheng explained: "Because the wood is easily deformed or even rotted when it encounters ink, and after the wood is divided into small pieces, its texture will be destroyed, and it is difficult to engrave characters. I want to find a suitable material and How can it be so easy to evenly infect the ink?"

Hearing this, Wu Jue finally realized: "So, lead is okay?"

Su Cheng smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, lead is fine! First use copper plate carving to make a mold, and then pour lead water on it to get lead characters. I tried it today, and it is very suitable for printing books! As long as the copper plate mold is carved out , you can have as many sets of typefaces as you want, arrange and combine them at will, and print any book you want is very simple!"

After finishing speaking, Su Cheng asked a little proudly: "How is it? Is this a pioneering work that can go down in history?"

Does that count?
This is of course counted, Wu Jue understands the significance of Su Cheng's improved printing technique, this will definitely go down in history!
Originally, Wu Jue planned that even if Su Cheng's pioneering work did not reach the point of being famous in history, she would admit that Su Cheng had won.

I didn't expect Su Cheng to actually do it, so why hesitate?
