Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 311 Li Er is also excited
Seeing Du Ruhui's agitation, Wang Ping'an was afraid that he would have a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage, so he quickly persuaded him: "Uncle Du, you are too excited, calm down, calm down, you must calm down."

"Calm down? The old man told you, the old man is very calm, go, take these things of yours, and follow the old man to see His Majesty." Du Ruhui said excitedly.

Wang Pingan quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, see Your Majesty? Uncle Du, why are we going to see Your Majesty? Can we not go?"

Du Ruhui asked curiously: "Don't go? Why don't you go? Do you know how important your movable type printing is to us scholars? You know that the books we read now are basically written by our ancestors one by one. It is a pity that many students are unable to study because they cannot afford books.

Now with your movable type printing, we can print a large number of cheap books and sell them to poor families. Tell me how important your movable type printing is. "

Wang Ping'an curled his lips and said, "It's really important to be told by your boss, so go and see His Majesty."

Du Ruhui listened to Wang Ping'an's tone, the corners of his mouth twitched, others wished to see the emperor a few more times, but this boy didn't want to see the emperor like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Prince, you can go with us, and let's talk about the newspaper." Wang Pingan said.

"Okay." Li Chengqian agreed.

In this way, Wang Ping'an and others came to the palace to meet Li Er again, but Zhao Hao was stopped outside the palace, and the movable type was carried by a forbidden army.

Inside Xingqing Hall, Li Er saw Wang Ping'an and asked, "Is the stone carved?"

Wang Pingan cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, no."

Du Ruhui stood up at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought Wang Pingan here this time to report something important."

"Keming's important matter is related to Wang Ping'an?" Li Er asked suspiciously.

"That's right, Your Majesty, please read these two pieces of paper." Du Ruhui handed over the two leaflets that Wang Ping'an had just printed to Li Er.

Li Er took a look at the two pieces of paper and said, "Are these just two leaflets?"

"That's right, it's two leaflets, but these two leaflets were not written with a brush." ​​Du Ruhui made a fool of himself on purpose.

But Li Er said dumbfoundedly: "It wasn't written, so it was printed."

Wang Ping'an looked at Li Er in surprise, and said in his heart: "This is also right, I deserve to be the emperor, this is unlucky."

But Li Chengqian patted Li Er's horse: "Father is really wise, these two leaflets were indeed printed."

Hearing this, Li Er frowned and asked Du Ruhui, "Is it really printed?"

Du Ruhui nodded, then cupped his hands to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, please ask someone to prepare a few pieces of paper, pens, and ink, and let Wang Pingan demonstrate it to you."

"Okay, hurry up and get ready." Li Er ordered.

The efficiency of the eunuch's work is very high. In just a dozen breaths, everything has been prepared. Wang Ping'an secretly marveled.

"Ping An, please print a few passages of the Three Character Classics for His Majesty to read." Du Ruhui said.

"Okay." Wang Ping'an could only say resignedly now,
Wang Pingan opened the box, found the fonts of the Three Character Classic, arranged them, put them one by one in the type plate, and then brushed ink and printed them.

Soon the opening chapter of the Three-Character Classic appeared in front of everyone, and Wang Pingan continued to search for the type models and then assembled, placed, brushed ink, and printed. The second paragraph of the Three-Character Classic was printed, followed by the third and fourth paragraphs.

"Hi~"

Li Er gasped and said excitedly, "What's this called?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is called movable type printing, because these type models can be separated and re-matched, as if alive, so it is called movable type printing." Wang Pingan replied.

"Okay, what a movable type printing machine. With it, many great Confucian scholars will be able to publish their masterpieces to the world in the future, and all students in the world can learn from the works of the sages." Li Er said excitedly.

Du Ruhui also said excitedly: "Your Majesty is very true. If Master Li, Master Yan and other great scholars find out, they will definitely go crazy and ask Your Majesty to publish a book for them."

"Haha... What Keming said is very correct. It's not a day or two since they wanted to publish a book. However, publishing a book in the past required a lot of manpower, material and financial resources and time. The gain outweighs the gain, so they only have one manuscript Even when I asked him to borrow it, I often refused, this time...haha..." Li Er really wanted to see how those great scholars were scrambling to beg him to publish books for them.

When Wang Pingan heard the manuscript, his eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am willing to publish books for them, but all expenses will be paid by them, and the manuscript must go to my minister."

"You think too much. They regard the manuscript as their life and won't give it to you." Li Er directly shook his head and denied it.

"This minister will think of a way, as long as His Majesty agrees, and His Majesty needs to keep this matter a secret for the time being." Wang Pingan said with a wicked smile.

Seeing his wicked smile, Li Er knew that those great scholars were about to bleed profusely, so he mourned for those great scholars for a few seconds and then smiled, "I promise you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have one more matter to discuss with Your Majesty and all the officials." Wang Ping'an said.

Li Er wondered, "Oh, what's the matter? Is it important?"

Wang Ping'an said solemnly: "It's important. This is related to all the people in the world who are brave to pioneer and create, and it is also related to the achievements of the students of Weichen's future academy."

"Oh, is it such a big deal?" Li Er looked a little incredulous.

Du Ruhui said: "Ping An, since what you said is so important, can you get to the bottom of it first?"

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Of course, Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is the protection law called patented technology."

"Patent Technology Protection Law?" Li Er, Du Ruhui, Li Chengqian and the other three repeated it curiously at the same time.

Looking at their expressions, Wang Pingan knew that there is no patent law in this era. If the patent protection law is not finalized by Li Er, then he is 100% sure that as long as the movable type printing technology is known to others, then the copycat will appear soon. .

So he said, "That's right, Your Majesty, it's the Patented Technology Protection Law, a law specially established to protect the technologies invented by all workers in the world, such as Weichen's movable type printing, cement technology, fountain technology, etc."
