Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 123: Movable Type Printing

"Brother, you let Lele copy homework all day long!"

"Lele's arm hurts so much. I woke up several times last night."

In the manor room.

Changle looked aggrieved.

"Lele, brother also knows that you have worked hard, but brother promised our father that he will teach you well."

Li Gen's words made Chang Le even a hundred thousand unwilling.

I had no choice but to continue to write with my head down.

Seeing Lele's aggrieved appearance, Li Gen felt uncomfortable.

how about it?Can we solve this problem?
Li Gen picked up the teacup and began to think.

It would be nice if there were a lot of teaching materials.

Suddenly, Li Gen slapped his forehead and stood up excitedly.

When I came to this age, I got used to writing, and even forgot the most popular books in later generations.

At this time, even engraving and printing had not yet begun to appear.

Li Gen also didn't want to use engraving and printing, after all, engraving and printing, after the typesetting, will always be the font on the layout, and can never be changed again!
And the most advanced printing technology of later generations is also impossible to realize.

After all, all kinds of sophisticated instruments and tools are beyond human capabilities!
The most ideal, most realistic, and most practical right now is movable type printing.

Thinking of this, Li Gen immediately took action!
Putty!

There are too many around Chang'an City, and they are all of that kind of sticky clay.

Li Gen ordered Youguang and Youliang to bring their tools and dig a cart of clay.

You Guang and You Liang, even though they were very puzzled, put on the carriage and set off without hesitation.

When a cart of cement was pulled to the manor.

Li Gen summoned all the servants out.

I made a template myself, and then told everyone that it should be the same size as the one he made.

Li Yuan and Chang Le came over curiously.

I don't know what new tricks Li Gen is doing.

"Grandpa, I don't know if it's feasible for the time being. When it's done, my grandson will tell you."

The more Li Gen kept it secret, the more curious Li Yuan became.

This is a handicraft that requires careful attention and patience, although it does not require physical strength.

Youguang and Youliang, a group of teenagers, are obviously not as neat as Chunmei and Chunlan.

However, Li Gen was not in a hurry.

Li Gen naturally understands that everything is difficult at the beginning, but practice makes perfect.

Sure enough, as time went by, the size of the clay made by everyone became more and more consistent.

This made Li Gen very happy.

The four dogs are also where there are too many people going, and they have damaged many of the made clay models by the four of them.

After being scolded by Li Gen, they all honestly climbed to the gate of the manor and went to guard the gate of the manor.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu led Hong Xiu, Tian Xiang and others back to the manor.

"Young master, during lunch time today, that Ma Zhou came to the restaurant for a drink."

"Oh!"

After hearing Zhao Si's words, Li Gen instantly became interested.

"Brother Ma, did you use your VIP card? Who did you go with?"

After hearing Li Gen's words, Zhao Si replied truthfully.

"Young Master, Ma Zhou came with a VIP card, and the one who accompanied him was General Chang He."

"The two only ordered a dish of spicy fried bean sprouts and a pot of wine, and they didn't even bother to order tea."

Hearing this, Li Gen knew that Ma Zhou was struggling with money and must have encountered something worth celebrating, so he went to the restaurant for a few drinks.

"and after?"

Li Gen asked with a smile.

"Young master, Hongxiu and Tianxiang brought a new pot of tea later, and all the delicacies in our restaurant were put on the table for them."

"The two were terrified on the spot, and waved their hands repeatedly to refuse, saying that these dishes were not what they ordered. At that scene, the younger ones were amused."

"Hongxiu and Tianxiang, tell Ma Zhou with a smile. You specifically explained this at the beginning. From now on, whenever he comes to Fugen Restaurant for a drink, all the delicacies will be served on the table, and the cost will be on you."

"..."

Listening to Zhao Si's words, Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"Well, you did a good job, did you hear what the two of you said during the drink? Did Brother Ma ever ask about me?"

"My lord, when I heard Zhonglang general Chang He congratulate Ma Zhou with his wine glass, it seems that he will be an official in the same dynasty with him tomorrow. What is there to say about the power of the censor at the censor platform!"

"The two have to settle the bill before they leave. Naturally, the younger one can't collect money. Ma Zhou asked repeatedly, where is the young master now? That means he might visit Anshanfang."

Li Gen nodded and fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou's fortune turned so quickly.

Then because of his appearance, the original historical nodes are quietly changing.

Li Gen clearly remembered that Ma Zhou became an official in the fifth year of Zhenguan four years later!

And it's not the censor, who was directly appointed by Li Shimin as the official!
However, it is good for Ma Zhou to set foot in official career in advance, Yushitai Yushi really has great power, they can supervise all officials in the court, and have the responsibility of supervising state affairs and government affairs.

The last thing officials want to offend is Yushi.

"Zhao Si, Feng Wu. If Ma Zhou comes to the restaurant again next time, send someone to send a message, and I will go to the restaurant to meet him in person."

Li Gen thought for a long time, and finally gave up his plan to let Ma Zhou come to the manor.

There are many secrets in the manor.

And since Ma Zhou is the censor of Yushitai, if he reads his own book in front of His Majesty.

There will be endless troubles.

As far as I am the real shopkeeper of Fugen Restaurant, Piaoxiang Teahouse, Liuli Shop, Evergreen in Four Seasons, Prosperous Animals, and other shops.

It is enough to cancel his status as the No. [-] scholar, and it will also implicate his father and Master Kong!

At that time, even if Su Guogong and the others help together and speak well in front of His Majesty, it may not help!
Ugh!
Li Gen sighed in his heart!
It's not that he thinks too much, because he has been a human being in two lives, and he has to admit that sometimes, his heart is really sinister!
After Zhao Si and Feng Wu rested for a while, they also brought everyone together to make clay.

There are many people and strength, and piles of clay models will soon pile up into pieces.

When Li Gen started lettering.

Li Yuan looked at Li Gen thoughtfully.

Is this kid engraving a seal again?
However, this seal is too small!
Moreover, our family is so rich, as for engraving seals with mud?

But as Li Gen got more and more engraved, Li Yuan became less and less calm.

Because every word is different.

Since Li Yuan has already said that he does not know how to read, then continue to pretend to be blind.

"Grand grandson, what are you messing with?"

Li Yuan picked up a piece of clay that had been carved with characters, and checked it over and over again.

"Grandpa, don't squeeze too hard, grandson carves these words very hard."

Li Gen reminded with a smile.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing to write on the mud?"

"Is there no paper at home?"
