Chapter 459 A big step (please support the monthly ticket recommendation ticket)
In the system of Chinese civilization, printing undoubtedly occupies a pivotal part, and it is even called one of the four great inventions.

But actually?
The precise time for printing to appear is roughly at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it has gone through two stages of development: woodblock printing and movable type printing.From woodblock printing to movable type printing, it took 600 years in the middle, and then gradually developed until it reached maturity.

Huang Yueying's printing technique completed last year is the prototype of woodblock printing.

But, as she says, block printing has several serious flaws.In addition to the three problems she mentioned, there is a very big disadvantage, which is that when it comes to large-scale book printing, the cost involved is incalculable.

Tao Te Ching, five thousand words, easy to handle...

However, the Analects, Book of Rites, Shangshu, Chunqiu Zuozhuan and other books are the foundation for scholars to study, and it is very troublesome to print.

If you were an ordinary craftsman, after developing the engraving and printing technique, you would generally not continue to delve into it.

But Huang Yueying is different.She has the rigor of a scholar, and at the same time has a research spirit that ordinary craftsmen do not have.

So after discovering the shortcomings of woodblock printing, I immediately tried to find new ways to improve it.

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Actually, this method has already taken shape during the period of Qin Shihuang. When I checked the classics and materials, I found that when Qin Shihuang unified the measuring instruments of the six countries, he used wooden stamps on pottery measuring vessels. Forty-cross edict.

It is also this record that inspired me...Brother Dong, if this method is carried out, then the scholars of the world will definitely return their hearts. "

When she said these words, Huang Yueying wiped the hair on her forehead with her small black hand.

There were a few black gray marks on the face that had been wiped clean.You could tell she was tired.The reason why she can still talk about her inventions and creations with great interest at this moment is entirely due to a burst of joy.Dong Bi couldn't help but feel distressed for a while.

"Okay, don't talk about your printing skills anymore... I will leave this matter to Ma Jun. What you have to do now is to rest... Take a good sleep. Otherwise, Huang Gong will come over in a few days Looking at your current appearance, you will definitely think that I abused you and fight with me desperately."

Huang Yueying was startled, "My father is coming?"

"That's right, I've sent people to Wang Beijun to ask Mr. Huang for marriage!"

"what……"

Huang Yueying's little face was flushed red, and she suddenly became awkward.Dong Bi didn't care about her and hugged her in his arms.

"Brother Dong..."

"Don't make nonsense, go to sleep obediently now, and let's talk slowly when the spirit recovers."

Huang Yueying is tall and tall, taller than most women.Although she was born in Jingxiang, she has the figure of a northern girl.

The height of seven feet eight inches, if calculated according to the method of later generations, is 179 centimeters.

But in front of Dong Bi, he was like a child.Holding in his arms, Dong Bi couldn't feel half of the weight.

Frowning, he said softly: "From tomorrow onwards, you have to exercise for me. Why are you so thin, you really don't love yourself!"

Huang Yueying blushed and struggled to get down.

But how can escape from Dong Bi's hands?After struggling for a while, she hurriedly said, "Brother Dong, let me sort out the notes I wrote yesterday. I promise, after sorting out, I will have a good rest, and I promise to exercise tomorrow."

"No...notes, I'll sort them out in a while."

Dong Bi said with a straight face, "If you are disobedient again, don't blame me for going out and spanking your ass later, it will not look good."

Huang Yueying didn't have the courage to face a big girl's family being spanked.

He had no choice but to be obediently carried out of the study by Dong Bi, and under the attention of Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Mu, he entered the bedroom and was put on the couch.

Dong Bi asked her to lie down and covered her with a quilt.

It's really too tiring...

Now that the problem is solved, I see Dong Bi coming back again.Huang Yueying's heart relaxed a lot, and she fell asleep quickly under Dong Bi's persuasion.

Dong Bi shook his head and sighed lightly.

He tucked in the quilt for her again, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Mu stood at the door with blushing faces.Seeing Dong Bi coming out, the two of them quickly lowered their heads and saluted Dong Bi.

"Miss' notes, do you all know where to put them?"

Xiao Mumu replied: "Master, we know. We are the two of us responsible for organizing and storing all kinds of records made by Miss."

"Send all the things to me at that time. The items inside should be sorted out...without my permission, the lady is not allowed to go into the study."

"Here!"

The two little maids hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The Dong Mansion has the habit of having three meals a day, breakfast at the end of the day, lunch at noon, and one meal at night, which can be said to be very punctual.

In this era, it is rare for ordinary people to have a full meal.

Even in many wealthy families, most of them have two meals a day. If they are hungry, they will ask their servants to add meals at any time.

However, Dong Bi's memory from later generations believes that the eating habit of three meals a day is the best.The quality of the three meals may not be very good, but they are very punctual, and Dong Bi's own requirements are quite strict. In addition to the three meals, no extra meals are allowed unless there is no special reason.

As for his habit, Keats thought it was very reasonable, so Cai Yan practiced it at home.

During breakfast, Dong Bi asked the four children about their daily homework. After dinner, Dong Ji was left alone in the study, where the father and son sat opposite each other.

"I plan to send Fazheng to take care of the affairs on behalf of the princess, but the Inspectorate he is in charge of is an extremely important department, and it needs to be presided over by a caring person. Fazheng recommended you to me...you are 16 years old, for you I am assured of his talents and learning. But the Inspectorate... I want to ask you if you are interested in coming out to help Dad. Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force it.”

"The Inspectorate?"

Dong Ji was obviously taken aback by this sudden incident.

After all, before that, he didn't have any preparations, so he subconsciously asked, "Daddy, is that the Inspector's Office of Dupostburg?"

"Exactly!"

"I would like to..."

"Liu Jin, don't rush to agree. The Inspectorate is not as simple as you imagined, and the affairs it undertakes are not only state affairs, but also have very important significance to my Dong family. Entering Duyoubao also represents You will never have the leisurely life you have today."

Dong Ji rarely saw such a serious tone from his own father.

After hesitating for a while, he got up and intervened, "Father, I'm already sixteen. Daddy was 12 years old and galloped in the Northwest, and 14 years old was already famous all over the world. Although I dare not say that I want to imitate my father, I am willing to share my worries and solve problems for my father. This matter... ...I will definitely live up to my father's high expectations."

"If that's the case...you go to Duyoubao with your Uncle Yuanrong after lunch. You don't have much time. After Fa Xiaozhi is released to Youzhou next year, you have to take on all the affairs of the Inspectorate. During this time Here, you need to ask Fazheng more."

"Baby...obey!"

The 16-year-old Dong Ji is more like his mother, Dong Lu, and less like Dong Bi.He is only seven feet five inches tall, which is considered outstanding among his peers, but compared with Dong Shuo and Dong You, he is half a head shorter.Dong Bi couldn't help it, and reached out to ruffle his hair.

If it wasn't for having no one in his hands, I really don't want this kid to join this intriguing dispute so early.

******
After lunch, Dong Tie took Dong Ji to Duyoubao.

It is estimated that in the next two days, he will probably stay there to get acquainted with it.After all, Duyoubao has too many secrets!

Three daughters, Dong Bi and Cai Yan, were talking in the pavilion in the garden.

The Luoyang battle had caused his family to be separated for two years, so naturally there would be many things and many whispers to talk about.

Dong Shuo and Dong You are two big boys, although they are just over ten years old, they are both tiger-headed and tiger-brained, and they look like a smaller Dong Pi.

The two big boys got Dong Pi's inheritance, but they were born with supernatural power.Although he is not good at reading, he is extremely obsessed with martial arts... Hua Tuo soaked it in various herbs since he was a child.And practice Wuqinxi since childhood.

The two boys all use hammers.

Dong Shuo, the eldest, used a pair of black gold hammers, weighing 98 catties; Dong You, the youngest, used a pair of eight-edged purple gold hammers, weighing [-] catties.Compared with Dong Bi's hammer, the weapons of the two boys are inconspicuous.You have to know how old they are now.

In the past two years in Chang'an, there has been a lot of trouble.

Whenever there is a large-scale fight, there must be shadows of these two boys.So much so that people in Chang'an jokingly called Er Dong the Second Demon King of Confusion.

At this moment, the two boys are on the lawn in front of the gazebo, dancing with knives and guns, having a great time.

Little Wenji was relatively quiet, listening to her parents talking, she lay on Dong Pi's lap unconsciously and fell asleep.

Cai Yan laughed softly: "If Daddy is here, he will be very happy. The ugly boy in the past has now become the seven sons of Jian'an. It's not easy."

"It's all about Cao Jili's nonsense!"

Cao Cao's nickname is Aman, also known as Jili.In private, when Dong Bi and his family talked about him, they always called him by his nickname.

Ren Hongchang said: "I don't think so... If the nonsense can have such a result, I hope he will do it a few more times. By then, no one will be able to show your husband's talent. But I think that Cao Jili must be very good now. It's sad... It's nothing but the reputation of my husband."

Dong Pi smiled, but he was thinking: It is possible to say this!Maybe Cao Cao is hitting the wall depressed at home right now!
Cai Yan put away her smile, "Ah Chou, there is one thing you need to worry about when you come back this time."

"what's up?"

Cai Yan pointed to the little Wenji who was asleep on the bench, "This girl is about to be nineteen, but she hasn't made a decision yet. There are many people asking me to marry her, but she doesn't know who I'm talking about." I don't quite agree. When you come back this time, you have to pay attention to it."

After a family war, Cai Yan also understood Dong Bi's thoughts.

Now this situation, God knows what will happen in the future?If Xiao Wenji really married Liu Bian, she might not be happy in the future.

It's just that the daughter is getting bigger and bigger, and her spirit is getting higher and higher.

Children from ordinary families don't even look at it.On the contrary, many people wanted to pursue him, but they were chased away by Cai Jie who asked Dong Ji to come forward.If you are not allowed to marry someone else, what will others say and how do you think about it?Although she is not her daughter in name, she is her flesh and blood after all.

Regarding this point, Dong Lu was also very troubled.

Dong Yuhun didn't care, "I'm so afraid, my little Phoenix, are you afraid that no one will want it? Sister, don't worry about this matter, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"That's what I said, but..."

Cai Yan sighed, turned to look at Dong Lu, "Let Lu'er talk."

Dong Bi couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and looked at Dong Lu.Dong Lu, who is over [-] years old, has maintained a good figure due to years of martial arts practice, and that kind of mature charm, although not as attractive as Ren Hongchang, has an indescribable charm.

"What's wrong? What happened to Wenji?"

"Not really!" Dong Lu smiled wryly, "It's just that Wen Ji... seems to like someone now."

"what?"

Dong Bi was taken aback, looked down at Little Wenji, then at Dong Lu, and said softly, "Whose child is so blessed?"

Dong Lv said softly: "Actually, my sister and I are not sure... It's just that she likes to meet a third-school student."

Dong Bi frowned slightly, "Three students?"

Cai Yan nodded, "I asked Yuanrong to pay attention, and found that she was often with a student of the third school. That person's name was Gongsun, who was from Jiangdong... This year, he was just a weaker champion, and he went directly to study in Chang'an County three years ago... ...Study, according to Yuan Rong, it is very good."

"Gongsun?"

"It's not Gongsun's Gongsun, but Jiaozheng Gong Shang Yu's Gong... It is said that his family is poor, and he went out to study because of the war in Jiangdong."

Dong Bi asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"We've met that kid before. He looks pretty good and his knowledge is not bad. It's just that his family background..."

Dong Bi interrupted Cai Yan, "I am only from a good family, and my family background is nothing. As long as that kid is really good to Wen Ji and has a good character, there is no problem. If Wen Ji is happy, I will be happy... ...Joining a wealthy family may not be a good thing... Haven't you heard of it? Once you enter a wealthy family, it's as deep as the sea. I'd rather she live a carefree and happy life than fall into those intrigues."

Obviously, these words of Dong Bi did not get the approval of the three daughters of Cai Yan.

But he is the head of the family, since he said so, the three daughters can't say anything more.It's better to take it slowly and let's talk about the situation.

After chatting for a while, the two young and old came back sweating profusely, and Xiao Wenji also woke up.

At this time, a family member came to report that Miss Huang's two little maids had given away a lot of things and were now waiting for the master outside the study.

Dong Bi immediately got up and walked to the study.

But after walking into the study, he was dumbfounded...

There are three or four boxes of books and notes, as well as various items, which make the originally large and spacious study room crowded.

"what are these?"

Little Wood said aggrievedly: "Master, didn't you ask us to bring the lady's notes? When the lady takes notes, she often does a lot of auxiliary things. These are the various records that the lady has written in the past two years. Others It is a tool made by the young lady herself."

Dong Bi was dumbfounded.

It was only now that he finally understood why the two little maids seemed hesitant when he told Xiao Mumu just now.

It turned out that it was such a huge project...

"Okay, put the things here, I'll take a look at them slowly. If the lady wakes up later, I'll ask the kitchen to make some supplements and send them to you. I've already ordered you to make arrangements yourself... Come on, let Li Kui Come here, I have something to tell him to do."

The little servant girl withdrew accordingly, and after a while, Li Kui hurried over.

Seeing the items in the study, he couldn't help grinning, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, call Kui here, what orders do you have?"

"Go and invite Ma Jun, the master craftsman, to come here immediately, and tell Madam that he has something to discuss... Oh, it seems that you are busy tonight!"

Li Kui smiled wryly and bowed to his orders.

Xiao Mumu and Xiao Yu'er had obviously received Huang Yueying's special training. When arranging their notes, they sorted them into categories and were quite organized.

The boxes are placed one by one, and the corresponding signs are written on the boxes.

Dong Bi took out a box, sat down, took out a stack of notes from it, and looked at it seriously.Some of these notes were written by Huang Yueying herself, and some were dictated by her. It is also known who wrote the notes. It is very clear at a glance.

From the emergence of the idea of ​​printing, to the shaping of woodblock printing, and then to improve it...

Every step is recorded in great detail.Success, failure... Huang Yueying's rigorous attitude in this regard can be seen.

If this movable type printing technique can be fully promoted, it is hard for Dong Bi to imagine what kind of changes will occur in this era?
What an amazing woman!
He sighed in his heart, and at the same time faintly expressed gratitude.God gave me such an outstanding woman, how should I repay her?
