Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 181

"Please read, Your Majesty." Lin Sen handed over a few elementary school books as if offering treasures.

"Oh? You kid is finally willing to print your two books." Li Shimin smiled and took them, but he simply flipped through each book, and then he seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly changed from his previous indifference. It became solemn, and then re-read it as if verifying it, and closed the book with some reluctance.

"You hid it very deeply, kid. The font in this first book is clearly imitated from the Feibai style of a certain person. Of course, a certain person recognizes it, but the latter two fonts have never been seen before, but they all look like this. It has both gods and systems, and it is clearly a mature font.

There are several famous masters in the past dynasties, and there are several masters in the present. These are not their handwriting. Could it be that you kid created it yourself? "Li Shimin analyzed for a long time, and even came to a conclusion that he couldn't even believe.

"Hey, it's just a little clumsy work of the kid. But the kid doesn't dare to show off his handwriting in front of His Majesty. His Majesty is also recognized as a famous master at that time, and Feibai calligraphy is absolutely the best in the world. What the kid actually wants to present is the writing behind these books. Things." Lin Sen said proudly, and tried to pretend to be humble.

Li Shimin obviously also saw that Lin Sen's words were insincere, pointed at Lin Sen angrily and amusedly, and went to ponder the meaning of Lin Sen's words.

"These books are printed, not handwritten. What do you mean, kid, could it be possible that there is a new printing technology?"

Li Shimin opened those books again and read them carefully several times. After finding a few ink stains, he became more sure of his guess. At least he was sure that these books were printed.

But I didn't hear that this kid found a master engraver to go back recently. He has been paying attention to this matter all the time. This engraving is not something that anyone who can carve can do. The process is very complicated.

Scholars tend to attach great importance to their own works. Naturally, no one is willing to find someone to print a book for themselves. Otherwise, why are the printing houses controlled by those aristocratic families so prosperous? No one has been there for so many years. Being able to compete with them has a lot to do with them controlling most of the engraving masters.

Of course, there are still some people who go for their fame and the promotion channels of the representatives behind them. The things printed from them are easier to be famous, and it is more dignified to say it.

Even if this kid is proficient in wood carving and the things he makes are very vivid, even if he knows two new types of fonts, it may not be so easy to make the engraving that must be reversed.

"Well, this kind of font is indeed suitable for printing books, and you have put your heart into it." Li Shimin pointed to the books printed in Song Dynasty and nodded affirmatively. Although this kind of font looks dull Some, but what are the points used for?

As for another more beautiful font, it is actually Zhao Tizi.Let's not talk about Zhao Mengfu's character, at least his calligraphy and running script are very beautiful, otherwise he would not be selected as one of the four masters of regular script by later generations.

When Lin Sen was practicing brush calligraphy since he was a child, he copied Zhao style characters. Of course, it would take more time to write them well, but Lin Sen at least remembered what Zhao style characters should look like.

But now with the help of the system, he can really do whatever he wants, as long as he can think of their appearance in his heart, he can naturally present them perfectly, so he has the effect that makes even Li Shimin feel amazing.

And Li Shimin's pride made it impossible for him to admit to his face that he probably should have lost to a young man.However, with his heart at this time, of course, he wouldn't hate Lin Sen for this. He just selectively ignored those books and talked about his own discoveries instead.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is as discerning as a torch. Now that Your Majesty already has the answer, the boy will not be fooled. The boy really thought of a new printing method. This method prints a small number of books, especially the printed things are simple. However, if a large number of books are printed, the more complicated the printed content is, the more pages need to be plate-made, the greater its advantages. The speed is faster, the material consumed is much less, and the cost is relatively reduced.

As for this type of font, the kid really made it specially for the printing of books. Seeing that the craftsmanship is too strong, the rigidity is too rigid, and the calligraphers like His Majesty are afraid to sneer at it.

However, this kind of font can be called a natural printing font, the production is the easiest, the requirements are relatively low, and the printing is the clearest, and it is not easy to be distorted.Best for large scale printing use. "Lin Sen proudly introduced.

He is a bit of a crazy person, he won't feel restrained when chatting with others, or he will feel nervous, and he dares to shy in front of Li Shimin.

"What is the solution?" Li Shimin asked impatiently.

Why did he send Li Chengqian to suggest Lin Sen to publish a book many times?Isn't the purpose of breaking the family's almost monopoly on the inheritance of cultural knowledge, and giving more opportunities to the poor students in the world.

And if there is such a time-saving, labor-saving and money-saving printing technique, it will be great news for the big goal of breaking the foundation of the aristocratic family, and it will also provide too many opportunities for poor students. Good job.

And it is conceivable that if such a good thing comes out, not only the inventor will be famous through the ages, but as the emperor, he will definitely be able to go one step further from the goal of becoming an emperor through the ages, so there is inevitably a sense of urgency.

"My boy calls it movable type printing. As the name suggests, this boy abandons the traditional engraving printing method, which can only carve out all the contents of a page, and prints it at one time. Compare the method of typesetting.

Compared with engraving blocks, which can only be used once, they become useless after being printed. It takes up a bit of space to store, and it is a pity to throw them away. These wooden movable types can be used repeatedly and will not be wasted.

And the engraving cannot be wrong, as long as one mistake is made, the entire layout will be completely useless, so making a engraving is time-consuming and laborious, and sometimes it has to be overthrown and restarted.

Using wooden movable type for typesetting can be modified at will, nothing more than replacing some of the movable type.

After each page is printed, it is enough to disassemble the wooden movable type and reassemble a new layout, or prepare several sets of wooden movable type and print several layouts at the same time.

A skilled typesetting worker may be able to produce a lot of layouts in a day's work. The main thing is to pick characters, and this time to do engraving may not be able to make half a layout.

Comparing the two, it is natural to make a judgment. "

Lin Sen felt that he shouldn't play tricks with Li Shimin, and asked him to come to him to ask for movable type printing, so he just poured it all out honestly.It's almost enough to hang on to the emperor's appetite, so don't play around anymore.

Anyway, based on Li Shimin's desire for this thing, the benefits he should have will definitely not lose him at all.

"Wonderful, wonderful. Your boy's method is really good. It's very good." Li Shimin understood what Lin Sen said after thinking about it for a while, couldn't help laughing and patted Lin Sen on the shoulder fiercely , It can be seen how excited he is.

　It is not easy to be on time when the code is released now. If there are more updates, it will be delayed. Please forgive me. -_-||
