Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145 Woodblock Printing ([-])

After Yang Yu discussed with the wives, the third batch of students officially started classes. Before the class started, Yang Yu also officially decided on the name of the academy.

It is called Youzhou Academy, the dean of the academy is Yang Yu, the vice president, Shao Yao, the director of the academy, and Jushou. There are currently four teachers, Cai Yan, the senior class teacher, Zhen Mi, the intermediate class teacher, Gao Xiuniang , the students in the elementary class, the so-called elementary class, also called the enlightenment class.

The age of this group of students in the academy is to recruit people from the age of 15 to the whole of Youzhou. As long as they have lived in Youzhou for more than three years, they can arrange people to come for the assessment.

This so-called assessment is nothing more than an interview. Originally, they are all illiterate, so naturally, it will not be a test of their literacy, but a few questions need to be asked to see their coping ability and how they deal with others. ability.

These are all crash courses. After they go out, they want to become officials. In a few years, Yang Yu plans to truly popularize education. Instead of going to the academy to study, but to arrange a small school in each village. This small school can also be run by a private person or by the state pastoral government. Even now, Yang Yu encourages some people to run private schools. Unfortunately, Still no one can handle it, mainly because there are too few literate people, and even too few books.

The books of this era are all bamboo slips handed down from past dynasties. Perhaps there are also a small number of animal skin books, books made of cloth, or a small number of paper books.

There are also some books on bamboo slips carved by some literati themselves.There are no printed books.

But in Youzhou, there are even fewer books, and after many wars, there will be even fewer books left. Coupled with the loss of some literati, some books will be taken away.

Therefore, in addition to the books reserved for some civil servants and generals, there are even fewer books that can be given to the academy.

By the way, now that we have paper, perhaps, it's time to study printing.

"Printing, printing, show me printing." Yang Yu searched on the phone, and even muttered in his mouth.

"Ring, ring, ring..." A burst of familiar music sounded.

This, I can’t help but say, this is really coming, "engraving printing, the most elementary printing technique, requires that one thousand volumes of books must be printed within one year, vertical typesetting must be used, and there are several word count standards. Reward, if it is not completed, some arbitrary data will be deleted from the computer, and the time for updating technical data will be extended."

Here, there are not only rewards, but also punishments for not completing the task. You know, Yang Yu is not an encyclopedia, so naturally, you need to search for information, but if some necessary information is deleted, then In the future, not to mention plagiarizing poems, but if some technology updates are not timely, some of Yang Yu's layouts will not be completed, and the time waits for no one.

This is really a smart phone, one can't help but chanting, and the other one can automatically detect people coming from outside, Yang Yu can hardly read it, and then he hears movement outside.

"I have met the lord." The outside walked into Chen Gong.

"Ah, Gongtai, you are here, come and serve tea."

Now, Yang Yu is at home, imitating the later generations, and asked craftsmen to make some long and luxurious chairs, and some tea tables. Tea.

The etiquette of serving tea has gradually become standardized, that is, two maids will come in at a time, one is sitting on his knees watching a small charcoal stove boiling water, and the other is sitting on his knees Opposite the two, use a small refined teapot to make tea for the two.

In particular, some movements were gradually improved under Cai Yan's guidance.

Now this tea ceremony is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. The maid who pours tea is on the side, holding up her orchid fingers, pouring tea gracefully, thanks to Cai Yan who can figure it out.

"Ha, my lord, you have created an art in drinking tea here." Chen Gong was speechless, looking for something to say, "Hehe, there is no reference for drinking tea. You can say that it is elegant. , it can be said to be vulgar, it depends on how it develops, maybe, this can develop several genres!"

"Really, my lord, how many kinds of tea can there be?" "Yes, this tea, I have made several kinds of tea temporarily, including brick tea, green tea, fermented tea, and fully fermented tea. , you can even fry some scented teas, you don’t think that the types of teas I’m talking about will be a way to drink them!”

"My lord is a great talent, this subordinate is here to ask my lord about the engraving you mentioned?"

"Oh, prints, what's the matter with prints?"

"That's right, the subordinates waited for a long time to go back and study, but still haven't figured out how to make this print, and how to print the color on it."

Chen Gong said with some embarrassment, yes, he was embarrassed, Yang Yu explained some things clearly, but they still couldn't make it.

"Ha, you said this, blame me for not explaining clearly, let's go, I will go and have a look with you."

Coincidentally, Yang Yu still wants to talk about engraving and printing, so let’s do it together with this engraving. In other words, this engraving may be more complicated, but engraving and printing is even more troublesome. It needs to be written on the board first. Make a reverse font, and then carve, even if there is a little mistake, a piece of wood will be wasted.Therefore, this printed book is much more complicated, and Yang Yu is still worried that it may not be able to complete the time given on the mobile phone.

"My lord, look, this is where we make plates." Yang Yu and Chen Gong came to a relatively large courtyard. At this time, many craftsmen were discussing something noisily.

"I think you should use cork, because cork can absorb ink well, right?" "No, no, you should use hard wood, as cork will easily lose its shape."

"Stop, stop, stop arguing, the lord is here, good lord."

Perhaps, because Chen Gong came here often, no one greeted him. Indeed, Chen Gong just went from here to Yang Yu's, and then came back from Yang Yu's again. Moreover, Chen Gong's rules for him were , Every day, he can greet you the first time he comes, after that, he doesn't need it.

"Gongtai, what are they arguing about?" "My lord, it looks like this. They are arguing about what kind of wooden boards to use, and the specific paintings are not really carved, but only carved. Simple lines."

"You guys, can't you just use ink to print pictures?" Suddenly, Yang Yu saw a craftsman beside him painting the board with ink.

"Ah, this, my lord, if you don't use ink, what do you use?"
