The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 575 Typography

Weiyang Palace, Qingliang Palace.

Sitting behind the table, the emperor Liu Qi carefully read the memorials sent by Zhang Ou.

He looked at it seriously, and stroked the soft paper from time to time.

It's just that Liu Qi's expression changed again and again.

"If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would have thought you were bought by Jinbo beauty, so I just said good things."

There was a smile on Liu Qi's face, and his eyes became softer.

Because the Zhongshan Kingdom described by Zhang Ou in the memorial made him very satisfied.

The people live in prosperity, from the great king to the petty official, they all work hard, the products are rich and the business is prosperous, this is simply the appearance of his ideal big man.

When he saw in the memorabilia that the king of Zhongshan had admitted to leaving the country privately, Liu Qi snorted, "I'm not small in courage." '

With just such an expression and a word, in the most serious case, even the major event of directly eradicating the country will be exposed lightly.

This is of course because Li Yunze's performance satisfied him. If Zhang Ou said all bad things in the memorial, such as the king's indulging in wine and sex, ignoring the lives and deaths of the people, extortionate taxes that made it difficult for the people to survive, or even rioting, then it would be bad luck.

Of course, Zhang Ou didn't dare to write indiscriminately, after all, he would send people to investigate again, and the truth of the matter would always be exposed.

If he dared to write scribbles, it would not just be his own abandonment of the market.

Next, Liu Qi saw the description of Li Yunze's whereabouts outside the Great Wall, and the focus was on the battle with the Sangda tribe.

Although the scale of the battle was not worth mentioning, it was only a thousand people.

But Li Yunze's performance was very good.

Not only the command is determined, but the morale is boosted by infantry shooting before the battle, and five hundred soldiers break through more than a thousand cavalry.

Even more courageous, he launched a night attack at night and completely wiped out the Sangda tribe in one fell swoop.

Seeing the real live version, Liu Qi couldn't help applauding.

Liu Qi didn't immediately agree with the last comment of "both civil and military" in the memorial.

The reason is simple, the emperor is suspicious.

Even if he trusted Zhang Ou, he would secretly send others to investigate further, and even call the prince Sheng to Chang'an City for a face-to-face assessment in the future.

To write a memorial and believe it after a few words is something that can only be done by a foolish king.

But there is no doubt that Liu Qi had a good impression of the prince Sheng, especially when the prince made him more and more dissatisfied.

Soon there was a notification from outside the door, and Princess Guantao came again.

Here, Liu Qi actually doesn't like Princess Guantao meddling in too many affairs, this is a common problem of emperors, and has nothing to do with family affection.

But Empress Dowager Dou
"His Majesty."

After the high-spirited Princess Guantao came in, she saluted first, and then said with a smile, "The marriage between Gillian and Yu'er has been decided, and please make an order from Your Majesty."

Ajiao is Chen Ajiao, the daughter of Princess Guantao, and Xi'er is Liu Xi, the King of Jiaodong who is only a few years old now.

Princess Guantao is very powerful because she can influence her mother, Queen Mother Dou, who is also Dou Yifang.

In the early Han Dynasty, the relatives were very powerful, and the Lu family was the most typical representative.

Although the entire Lu family was punished, the trend of foreign relatives continued.

Princess Guantao is not stupid, she is also far-sighted.

She planned to invest in the next generation of emperors early on, paving the way for the future.

At the beginning, Princess Guantao chose the prince Liu Rong as the target. After all, the prince is the most likely to inherit the throne.

But Liu Rong's mother, Su Ji, is a sand sculpture, with an extremely aggressive personality and can't understand the form.

Not only rejected Princess Guantao's request for marriage, but even humiliated her.

This is not over yet. In history, when Liu Qi was ill, he told Su Ji to take good care of the princes and concubines in the harem, but Su Ji, a sand sculpture, broke out with jealousy and raged in front of Liu Qi, not only with vicious words He even humiliated Liu Qi.

Among other things, even the underdogs in the modern world are better than her, and they really don't have the slightest bit of vision.

Liu Rong was finally abolished as the crown prince, and Su Ji accounted for at least [-]% of the reason!

Su Ji's family's incompetent relatives accounted for [-]%, Liu Zhi's mother Wang Meiren and Princess Guantao's various secret means accounted for [-]%, and Liu Rong's own reasons were only [-]%.

What kind of plans these women have in mind, Liu Qi actually knows it well.

It's just that he also has his own considerations and calculations.

Originally, he agreed that Chen Ajiao would marry Liu She, even if the age difference between the two could hold a few gold bricks.

But now Liu Qi was a little hesitant.

He clearly knows Princess Guantao's energy and means, if in the future...
Once married, Princess Guantao will definitely use all power and means to support Liu Zhi to the top.

Although he was dissatisfied with Liu Rong and Su Ji, Liu Qi had no intention of changing the prince at this time.

More importantly, there is a previously undiscovered treasure that is blooming with its own light.

In the future, there will inevitably be a big disturbance.

Liu Qi subconsciously glanced at the memorial on the case table, "This matter. The autumn harvest is busy, we will talk about it after the autumn harvest."

Here in Zhongshan, the autumn harvest is over, and the people who are full of grain are cheering and their emotions are high.

The tax rate set by Li Yunze is very low, even lower than the tax rate of the recuperating big man.

People who have surplus grain in their hands can sell the grain in their hands in exchange for money and silk to buy daily necessities.

Correspondingly, a large number of caravans smelling business opportunities came one after another, and the entire Zhongshan Kingdom was a scene of prosperity.

Not only in agriculture and commerce, but also in culture.

People from many schools gathered inside and outside Lunu City, taking the white paper provided by Li Yunze for free, and scribbling hard to copy the classics of their schools.

The white paper is really great, it is soft and comfortable and can write many words, and the most important thing is that it is easy to store.

In the future, a book can be taken away in a package and rolled up, and there is no need to drive and drag bamboo slips of hundreds of kilograms.

Originally, some schools had plans to hide their secrets.

But after arriving in Lunu City, I found that so many competitors had come.

The opponents are desperately competing to show themselves. If they still hide their secrets, wouldn't they be willing to lose their reputation?
For a school, fame is the first wealth.

Without reputation, no one will use them.

Without a reputation, no one is willing to join the sect.

If no one uses it and has no inheritance, that school will die out naturally.

Under the strong sense of competition, those who had planned to hide their personal interests did not hide, and even took out many whose inheritance was broken due to the war at the end of Qin Dynasty.

In the palace, Li Yunze looked at the books bound with string before him, and nodded in satisfaction.

These are all good things.

However, relying solely on transcription is too slow, and he is already preparing to use better technology to expand the popularization of knowledge.

That's right, printing.

If you rely solely on handwriting, it will take ten days and a half months to start transcribing a book by one person, even if the content is not much.

And there might be mistakes.

The most important thing is that in the Han Dynasty, there were not many cultural people who could read and write and could write a whole article.

They are willing to transcribe now because this is a big event of their own school, and they are willing to pay for the school.

Change the time and place, go dreaming.

Li Yunze has always attached great importance to the dissemination of knowledge, so he went to technology.

As soon as printing comes out, it is industrialized mass production, and its terrifying production capacity is enough to make people tremble.

He didn't plan to use engraving printing, this technique would consume too much energy and time, and it is not suitable for large-scale popularization, but it is more useful for small-scale boutiques, because the printing is clear and exquisite.

Li Yunze directly learned movable type printing.

The core of movable type printing is the Yangwen inversion model of a single character.

Making this kind of thing also requires technology.

Li Yunze did not cultivate slowly, but ordered directly from the modern world.

Using Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi", Li Deng's "Sheng Lei" and Zhang Ji's "Guang Ya" as standards, he customized a total of [-] fonts.

At this time, these words are enough.

Of course, typefaces that meet the standards of the times still need to be made, technical personnel must be trained, and kilns must be established.

Zhang Ou followed Li Yunze to a manor outside the city. When he saw the craftsmen comparing the original manuscripts, selecting the typefaces and arranging them on the type plate, applying ink, brushing and pressing, a piece of paper was filled with handwriting. When it was formed in an instant, the whole person was like a spa
reached.

"This, this, this."

Zhang Ou held the paper that still exuded the fragrance of ink with trembling hands. Looking at the clear writing on it, tears could not help but fall down.

Cultural people have a deep-rooted pain for the difficulty of promoting knowledge in this era.

The Confucian family dominated the later generations, and the aristocratic families desperately monopolized knowledge to gain benefits.

But at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was still a period when a hundred schools of thought were letting go, and everyone was desperately promoting their own schools, but because of productivity problems, it was very difficult.

The brand-new technology in front of us will definitely have a subversive impact on the cultural communication of the whole world.

Zhang Ou carefully put away the paper, then turned to salute Li Yunze, "The kindness of the king will surely benefit all generations!"

This is not flattery.

Without the printing press, mass education would not have been possible.

Li Yunze nodded, and he was very satisfied with these great inventions.

He simply pulled Zhang Ou and introduced him carefully.

"This technique is called printing." Li Yunze picked up the typeface and handed it to Zhang Ou, "Mr. Zhang, please take a look. This is the core of the printing technique. Yangwen reverses the typeface."

"This thing is very convenient. When you need to print some characters, you only need to choose the corresponding characters."

"Here is the typesetting." He pointed at the dial. "The king asked the various schools to offer books to transcribe for the convenience of printing. After all, if you use bamboo slips, a bamboo slip is only a few words."

"Yes, yes, what the king said is very true." Zhang Ou nodded again and again, playing with the font in his hand, he couldn't put it down.

"Apply ink and put paper on it, and it will come out after pressing and pulling. A piece of paper can have hundreds of words. The same paragraph of the same book can be printed in dozens, hundreds or even thousands of sheets at a time. Will Everyone's pages are processed in the same way, and that one time it comes down is

Dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of books! "

Convinced Zhang Ou saluted Li Yunze again.

"Your Majesty, you have immeasurable merit~~~"
