Chapter 548 Miracles
At the beginning of autumn in the fifth year of Yuanheng, Xiao Yan's rotary typesetting and movable type printing technique was officially tested successfully.

Fourteen and Meng Changhuai rushed back from Huazhou to Huangliang, and watched Xiao Yan operate the machine to print pages with clear ink.

"Miracle, this is a miracle!" Meng Changhuai was so excited that his face was bloodshot, and he looked like he had poured a catty of strong alcohol. Fourteen had never seen him lose his composure before.

Meng Changhuai is an official, but also a literati. He always has a different feeling for pen, ink, paper and inkstone than other things.

"God bless me in Henan Province, God bless me in Dali Dynasty!" He walked quickly to Xiao Yan with the stack of papers in his hand, "Your Majesty, please bestow this thing to the lower officials, and the lower officials must treasure it!"

"Master Meng has broken my heart." Xiao Yan even said the words "bestow", and quickly said, "If Master Meng likes it, I will give it to you."

"Thank you, son!" Meng Changhuai bowed down.

Xiao Yan's eldest son is the first grade, it's nothing to accept Meng Changhuai's gift.But when the two of them were in the past, he regarded himself as a junior, and Meng Changhuai cared about the people and governed them well. Xiao Yan respected him from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he refused to accept this gift.

Meng Changhuai was helped up halfway through the ceremony: "Master Meng, before my father left for the trip, my father told me that if the movable type printing test is successful, I can just go to the Lord directly."

Xiao Yan successfully diverted Meng Changhuai's attention with one sentence: "Yes, the prince has already explained it before."

He couldn't wait to lead people to reproduce these miracles himself.Not only Henan Province, but he also wants to promote movable type printing all over the world!What a great news this is for scholars in the world!
……

Whether it is new spinning machines or movable type printing, Xiao Yan has no intention of making money from them.Only free, in order to popularize them as soon as possible.

He first told Shisi about his thoughts, and after Shisi thought about it, he discussed with Xiao Yan: "Let's hand over movable type printing to the imperial court first, then we will promote it in Henan Province, and the Ministry of Industry will be responsible for popularizing it in other places. As for the new spinning machine, wait for a while. Let it earn the military salary for Henan Province and Duji Province for a few years."

"Ayan, do you agree?"

"I'll listen to my mother." Xiao Yan didn't have any entanglements, and readily agreed.

It's not that he doesn't understand that even if he handed over such technology for free, someone will definitely take the opportunity to make money during the promotion process.In actual promotion, the situation is already different from what he imagined.

The easiest way to make money is the local officials. The imperial court wants to popularize new technology through the local government. When the officials and lords there give the new technology to the hands of the people, is it possible that it is completely free?impossible.

Xiao Yan decided to hand it over for free, just wanting to speed up the promotion as much as possible.

But the things are made by him, and if mother wants to use them, of course she can.

"Have you written a letter to your father?" Fourteen said, "It will be his birthday soon."

"It seems that the situation in Duji Province is much more complicated than previously predicted. This year, he can only spend his birthday outside alone."

"It's finished, and the birthday gift is ready." Xiao Yan said, "I'll just wait for my mother to come back, and then send it over together."

"The last time he contacted Ruzhou, I don't know if he's gone now." Fourteen said, "Wait a little longer, his letter should arrive in the next two days, and then we'll send the things there."

"Ah."

"Are you busy in the next few days?" Fourteen suddenly asked, "I remember you said last time that you will be busy for two months."

"If you're not too busy, you can go there yourself. I really can't leave here, so you wish him a happy birthday."

……

Fourteen only stayed in Huangliang for one day, and set off early the next morning to return to Huazhou.

Recently, she has been busy cutting down those who are no longer suitable to stay in the army, and at the same time recruiting new forces.And because of the increase in salary and the introduction of a series of new policies, the enthusiasm of men in Henan Province to join the army is unprecedentedly high, and the notices from various local governments received a large number of applications on the day they were posted.

Such a grand occasion can also be seen in Huangliang County.

Fourteen formulated a simple physical fitness test, and ordered the government of each state and county to send doctors to conduct a rough inspection of the applicants. Only when they pass both can they be eligible to join the army.

"I used to be poor and couldn't get enough to eat, so I thought about becoming a soldier when I had no choice. Now I'm vying to go, fighting to go. After living for a long time, I can see all kinds of strange things." The tea house on the street Inside, a group of people looked at the young and middle-aged people queuing up for inspection outside, talking while drinking tea.

"Isn't it? After living for a long time, you can see everything." Another person continued, "Chili, potatoes, fireworks, hot pot, and what's that called, that person can run forward without using a horse." of……"

"bike!"

"Hey, that's right, it's called a bicycle! Don't these things only start to exist in the past ten years, how could you see them before?"

"I said a long time ago that Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiaolang are both the reincarnation of gods." People in Henan Province are still accustomed to calling Shisi "Ms. Xiao" and Xiao Yan "Mr. Xiaolang" in private. "These things , are brought down from heaven to benefit mortals."

"Don't brag, I remember that you didn't believe it when you first heard that Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao Lang were the reincarnation of gods a few years ago, and you joked about those people." Someone said, "Why do you believe it now? gone?"

This bragging caused everyone to laugh.

"Have you ever visited the outer city?" Someone mentioned the outer city, "I just passed by there a few days ago, and it has already been built. I don't think even gods can compare to such a place."

"You have been to the capital of God, so you dare to say that." Someone questioned.

"I've been there." The person at the next table interjected, "I've been to the capital of the gods, and I've also seen the outer city. If it's really built as Master Fang said, it will definitely be better than the gods."

"Do you know Master Fang?" A group of people immediately turned towards the speaker, "Who are you?"

"Master Fang said what will the outer city look like after it is built?"

"..."

Everyone chattered and began to discuss the city outside the city.

There are simply too many things worth saying about Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao Lang.Pick out any one at random, and it can become a job for a storyteller to earn a living.

……

Two well-dressed matchmakers met at the door of Xiao Qilang's house, one went out and the other went in.

"Yo, old sister, it's you."

"My sister is here too."

The matchmakers have long been familiar with such scenes.There are hundreds of daughters in a family, so these words are most appropriate for the daughter of the Xiao family.

Because of the birth of Mrs. Xiao, the daughter of the Xiao family has become a favorite for marriage.Among them, the eldest daughter of Xiao Qilang's family, head of the Xiao clan, was the most difficult to find.

It is not the first time for these two matchmakers to come to the door to propose marriage, nor is it the first time to meet their peers.People who come and go get acquainted, and those who have a good relationship begin to exchange details with each other.

"Old sister, which man's matchmaker did you accept today?"

"Saburo of the Zhou family."

"Hey, last time I met a man who proposed to Zhou Jia Erlang, could it be that I remembered wrongly?"

"That's right, last time it was Erlang from the Zhou family. Didn't the little lady from the Xiao family not nod her head? This time it was Sanlang."

After saying this, the two matchmakers giggled.

"Sister, which family are you here for today?"

"Me, the eldest grandson of the Yu family."

"Which Yu family?"

"Silk Yu's family. Speaking of which, their family has always been in contact with Xiao's family, and the rituals of the year have not been broken. When the earthquake last year, the old Patriarch sent someone to send food to Patriarch Xiao's house. His family The eldest grandson is really a good-looking talent. This year, the family even told him about several marriages and refused to nod. It took a long time to find out that it turned out that he was interested in the little lady of the Xiao family."
