A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,478 Movable Type Printing

Brushing ink, covering paper, rolling...

Each copper plate was filled with clay characters and then printed one by one.

On the last page, Shen An said: "Someone is coming."

"yes."

The craftsmen moved out of the way, and Shen An did the work himself.

The first time is always fresh. Shen An thought of the old-fashioned printing machines in those units in the future, which used movable type and then printed with ink. Whenever you enter, you can smell the smell of ink.

His favorite thing in the afternoon was to sit there and watch a woman repeat these actions over and over again.

Now he's taking matters into his own hands.

It's so easy!

He completed a printing.

This is the cover!

A book was printed just like that.

——Parenting Notes!

Then came the binding.

Shen An took the book, which still smelled of ink, to the backyard.

"Brother, show me."

Guoguo likes reading, a habit developed by her brother since she was a child.

Shen An gave it to her, "Don't break it."

Guoguo opened it and took a look, cheering: "Sister-in-law, look what my brother wrote!"

Yang Zhuoxue turned her head and took a look, and immediately couldn't look away.

This is a miscellany written by Shen An. It contains some interesting stories about how he and Yang Zhuoxue raised their two children. The writing is fresh and interesting, making people want to read on without knowing it.

This kind of prose-like miscellaneous notes is the most attractive. Yang Zhuoxue and Guo Guo looked at the beginning side by side, and Uncle Maodou burst into tears.

Yang Zhuoxue picked up Maodou and coaxed her. Maodou grabbed the book and tore it hard.

Oh!

A new book was crumpled and several pages were torn.

Yang Zhuoxue smiled apologetically at Shen An.

"no big deal."

Shen An went to the front yard, and when he came back half an hour later, he had two books in his hand.

"One copy for each of you."

"so fast?"

Guoguo turned to the last page and could even touch some words.

"certainly."

Shen An felt proud, but Yang Zhuoxue felt something was wrong, "Official, engraving is very troublesome. Our family didn't buy any wood. Where did we get the engraving?"

"Just watch."

Shen An is waiting for the opportunity.

Guo Guo quietly went out and took Taro to the front yard.

Wen Xiaozhong was ordered to guard the clay calligraphy, but after seeing that it was Guoguo, he went to the toilet without principle.

As soon as Guoguo entered, she saw the copper plates lined up. She picked up the copper plates and looked at the words on them carefully. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is not an engraving!"

Of course not engraving.

Those craftsmen were constantly firing clay characters, so much so that they had to set aside a special room to store these clay characters and the finished copper plates.

North Korea.

Han Qi was very confused and came to discuss with everyone whether to plead guilty.

"It has been agreed upon for two months. Now that the proofreading is over, the craftsmen said it will take a long time to complete the engraving. It will probably be seven or eight days late."

Zeng Gongliang said angrily: "I said three months at first, but you, Han Qi, said two months. Well, who's to blame if you can't finish it now?"

Han Qi stared, "It's my fault!"

A person without responsibility cannot be prime minister, and he will have no prestige if he does.

Bao Zheng said: "This is just a reprimand, that's all."

But it was embarrassing for Zaisu to be scolded.

Where is the prestige?

Han Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Where's Shen An? Didn't that guy say he had a way?"

"Call him."

Shen An came later.

"What's your plan?"

Shen An was too bad this time, and the ministers wanted to take the opportunity to deal with him.

"Please also give the compiled book to the official."

Shen An made the request calmly.

"What do you want a book for?" Zeng Gongliang said, "Are you going to recruit engraving craftsmen?"

Shen An smiled and said: "I only have one request. If this matter is completed, please agree to my resignation."

"What's the matter?"

"I know that there is a person. He has created something that is supposed to be glorious for eternity, but he is unknown. I would like to ask all your ministers to advise the official family and pursue this person."

"You Shen An actually seek rewards for others?" Han Qi asked suspiciously, "Who is that person?"

"A craftsman."

"artisan?"

Han Qi and the prime ministers couldn't help frowning, "Are you going to do your miscellaneous studies?"

Zeng Gongliang said bluntly: "Do you want to stand up for your miscellaneous studies?"

Shen An did not answer.

He feels that human beings have emerged from the wilderness and become the masters of this planet step by step, and countless unknown heroes have played a big role in this.

And these people should not remain anonymous.

"That person has made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, and he should boast of his great achievements through the ages."

Han Qi waved his hand, "That's all. If it can be done, I will accept the matter."

Bao Zheng glanced at him and said, "Let me handle this matter."

He was used to taking the blame for Shen An, but Han Qi looked at him sideways and said, "I am the prime minister, and you, Bao Xiren, are only the last prime minister. When will it be your turn to point fingers?"

Bao Zheng couldn't help but feel angry.

Even if this person wants to help you, he will say something so tough that it will make you want to vomit blood.

Then came the delivery. Han Qi said seriously: "One emperor has three books. A hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been five emperors. This collection of poems and articles by four emperors cannot be wrong."

"yes."

Shen An smiled and went to pick up the books. The twelve volumes were actually pulled by a carriage, accompanied by nine tall and handsome marriage officers who would guard the four sets of books.

Too serious?

When Shen An returned home, he immediately recruited more than 20 students from the academy and asked them to type.

"This is……"

Exclamations kept coming, and the students immediately understood the beauty of this movable type printing.

Rejoice!

When people are happy, they move quickly.

Movable clay type was constantly being fired, and copper plates were constantly being produced.

Copper is a precious metal. Shen An took the approval slip from the political hall and swaggered a few carriages to Izumo Temple and asked them to make copper plates.

One person recites it, another person types it, and after it is arranged, someone will review it. This kind of work is very hard and tests your eyesight, so I rotate it every half an hour.

The number of copper plates arranged continued to increase, so that Shen An made several more rooms for display.

One page is one copper plate. In the end, there were too many copper plates, so Shen An hired someone to sort them out.

The entire front yard of the Shen family became a workshop, and Zhuang Laoshi squatted inside the door, supervising the craftsmen and students with Governor Zhou.

"Lang Jun said that it was a treasure made by a man named Bi Sheng. It was only those who thought that the engravings were beautiful. The movable type was dull and boring, so it was buried." Zhuang Laoshi sighed: "But the engravings are expensive. ah!"

Governor Zhou was growing taller and looked a little thin. He looked at the book in his hand and said, "People just want books. As for whether the handwriting is good or not, what's the point?"

The marriage officer squatting nearby wanted to come over and listen to what they were talking about, but Zhuang Laoshi immediately chased them away with a cold face.

After waiting for the others to drive away, he said to Governor Zhou: "Lang Jun has done too many meritorious deeds, and those people are jealous. Not only have spies come into the house, but maybe the officials are worried about Lang Jun. Alas! Never!" It’s hard to be a loyal minister!”

He felt a little cold behind his back, and when he turned around, he saw Zhang Baanba.

Damn it, Zhuang Laoshi, actually slandering Guan Jia and a certain person behind his back?

Zhang Bianba climbed over the wall and came in. Huahua was already here, roaring at him.

“Everyone knows it when he’s seen it!”

Those marriage officers looked very respectful, but they were not spies, but elite forces protecting the official family.

Zhang Baba nodded, "How?"

Everyone looked at each other.

They are members of the official family, and Zhang Ba8en cannot command them.

At this embarrassing moment, Shen An came out.

"Zhang Douzhi is a rare visitor!"

Shen An looked at the wall, "Why are there rags?"

Zhang's eight-year-old face turned red for a rare moment.

Shen An, a wicked and smoking bastard, actually buried crystal slag on the wall. When he came in just now, his clothes were torn without paying attention.

"That crystal is so precious. You actually got it and buried it on the wall. It's really extravagant."

Zhang Baibian felt that Shen An was looking more and more like a nouveau riche.

hehe!

Shen An wanted to laugh.

Is glass slag valuable?

Precious yarn!

The raw materials for making glass are all over the earth, and Zhang Baibian really thought they were treasures!

"Han Qi and the others said that your family was printing those four books. The officials were very concerned and asked someone to come and ask. There will be a sacrifice at the beginning of next month. These four books are needed. Can you prepare them?"

Only then did Shen An understand the reason why he had to meet the deadline.

There were many kinds of sacrifices in the Song Dynasty. Thanks to the blessing of Emperor Zhenzong, the royal family of the Song Dynasty became the royal family with the most sacrificial activities, spending countless money and food just to worship gods and ancestors.

"able!"

"Really?" Zhang Ba8 asked: "But why can't I smell the smell of engraving? Instead, there is the scent of rosin, and candles..."

There is a smell of wood when making engravings, so Zhang Baba just sniffed and felt a little confused.

Is this person born in the year of Dog?

Shen An laughed, "This is the secret of the Song Dynasty, and it is a priceless treasure."

Do you want to watch it when you want to?

no way!

Zhang Baibian glanced at the marriage officials, but no one paid him any attention.

From the moment the twelve volumes of books entered the Shen family, these nine marriage officials ate, drank, and had sex in the Shen family, and no one was allowed to go out.

This is a political task, otherwise the importance cannot be highlighted.

Zhang Baibian returned to the palace to report. Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "That's a narrow-minded person. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net He first deceived everyone, and then wanted to use this matter to make amends." Twelve volumes of engraving Books cost a lot of money, the key is to consume energy, that’s all, in this case, let him go as for the last time.”

"The officials are just afraid that they won't be able to catch up."

The scale of the old Zhao family's sacrifices to heaven and ancestors was inherited from Zhenzong, and it was extremely grand. If there were not those four books by then, Zhao Shu would have a headache.

There is a saying called...

"Promises made to the dead must be fulfilled, otherwise it is disrespectful."

Everyone from the royal family to the common people knows this truth.

"So it's easy to open your mouth, but it's troublesome later."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Now that this trouble has been left to Shen An, I am happy, and so are the ministers, hahahaha!"

Shen An stayed behind closed doors!

With twelve days left before the deadline, Shen An asked for a meeting.

The emperor and his ministers were discussing the situation of spring plowing in various places. Zhao Shu was furious because a local official was traveling with prostitutes during this busy farming season, and said that he wanted to demote him to a commoner.

This official family is getting more and more irritable!

"Your Majesty, Shen An would like to see you."

"Let him come!"

Zhao Shu was suddenly startled, "Isn't he not allowed to go out?"

In order to punish Shen An, Zhao Shu ordered him not to leave the house until he finished printing the twelve volumes, and the marriage officials served as supervision.

"Someone is derelict in his duties!"

Zhao Shu's face immediately became cold.

The marriage officer was his personal soldier. The soldier abandoned his duties, which immediately reminded him of loyalty.

Shen An is here.

He came in holding twelve volumes.

After saluting, Zhao Shu asked: "But has it been printed?"

He asked casually to vent his anger.

Shen An nodded, "Yes."

Thanks to the leader of ‘Qiu Yu Zhi Chen’ for the reward, here comes the fifth update. Good night everyone!
