Opening the first volume of Mandarin, the font was Xiaozhuan, which was written by Li Si himself. Su Wen turned the book over and looked at the five craftsmen kneeling in front of him.

  He didn't think much about the beauty of the Xiaozhuan font. After all, he thought that this font was really inappropriate.

  It's beautiful, but it's complicated to write.

  "Take a flat piece of wood and carve it into characters the size of the little fingernail, can you do it?"

  "Yes!" The craftsman's voice was extremely excited.

  Su Wen nodded slightly: "The five of you divide it, and engrave all the text on this page. Remember, it's carved on the reverse side, just like carving a seal, but it's a separate carving of the text. "

  "The servant waits for the order!"

  Li You, who was on the side, hurried forward, took down the book, and placed it in front of the five people. The five people were in the lobby and began to saw wood and carve the text.

  In less than a cup of tea, the word "Mandarin" has already been carved out. They are of equal size, like the cover of a little finger, and the thickness is the same.

  Su Wen took it and put it on the low table.

  Li Si looked at it, and his eyes were bright, and he bowed his hands: "Your Majesty is going to fetch wood and carve it into fonts.

  Then arrange it according to the required fonts, fix it with a frame, brush with ink, stick the white paper on top, and a complete page of text appears! "

  Su Wen leaned back and looked at Li Si with a smile: "Aiqing already understands what I want to do, so I don't need to say more...  

  This method is called printing, and the inspiration comes from the seal!

  The method of the seal is to carve the upside-down characters on the gold stone, then dye them with ink, and after covering them, the characters become.

  Since the seal is fixed, why not carve the text separately?

  In this way, when a large number of books need to be printed, this method is used, movable type printing.

  That's far from copying books with both hands, it's comparable!

  Furthermore, I would like to remind you that you can also use the dustpan to arrange the engraved characters in a certain order. When you need to find the word, turn the dustpan, and you can easily find the text you need from the dustpan. Come on, faster.

  In addition, carpenters may be slow to carve, and wood is easily damaged, you can try burning paper pottery characters.

  Make iron typeface grinding tools, and then burn paper to make pottery typefaces. In this way, pottery typefaces are far more durable than wood typefaces.

  Even iron fonts, etc., you can try to use them yourself. As for ink, if you want to easily print beautiful text on paper, but not loose, the demand for ink is probably higher than that of ordinary ink. "

  "I once heard an expert say that you can properly add some glutinous rice to the ink, and the rice is so good. After reaching a certain proportion, the ink is brushed on the font, and the white paper can be pressed to obtain beautiful characters, and It won't escape."

  Liston took a deep breath, what did he hear?

  This thing is just like Qin Zhi's 3.8, it was clearly figured out by the emperor himself!

  If someone really knew about this printing technique, it would have already been dedicated to the court and obtained an official position!

  Even Li Si felt that for Da Qin, this printing technique was enough to make him a marquis!

  "In addition, books that are in high demand, such as Mandarin, can be directly printed by engraving. In this case, the speed is faster!"

  Su Wen didn't realize that the common sense of printing that he said casually was a bolt from the blue for Li Si.

  Only someone like him could understand how important printing was to the Qin Empire.

  What a big image it will be for the spread of knowledge and culture in the whole world!

  "Engraving printing..." Li Si breathed a sigh of relief: "But engraving into a well-typed Mandarin chapter, and then typesetting the text, this speed is probably many times faster than movable type printing!".

Chapter 835

  "Since Aiqing already knows what to do, I won't say much more. As for this movable type printing, or engraving printing, Aiqing can do the accounting independently and make it according to the needs."

  Li Si cupped his hands and said, "I will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty."

  Su Wen nodded slightly and continued: "After the towers announced their merits, it was the first imperial examination in the history of the world.

  This kind of grand occasion is unprecedented. There are many scholars who come to live in Xianyang and Chang'an. As long as you are stable and successful in this method, you will immediately announce it to the world. Regardless of whether you have passed the entrance examination or not, you will be given some to use this method. Books produced by law.

  At the same time, official printing bookstores were also opened in various places.

  Don't look at this small piece of paper, but there is a lot of profit in it, and I am not trying to compete with the people for profit.

  Thirty years after this method became popular, it was announced to the world free of charge, and the world was ordered to open a paper mill and printing technology. "

  "Your Majesty's words and deeds, every thought and every plan, are all for the people of the world. The minister sees it in his eyes and admires it in his heart."

  "Hahaha..." Su Wen couldn't help laughing: "You and I, monarchs and ministers, should work together to create a strong empire and a glorious era!"

  "How dare you not be careful?" Li Si said sternly.

  Some things are contagious.

  What's more, from an objective point of view, why doesn't Li Si want to become a famous person in history?

  What happened in Dune Palace was destined to become a black spot in his life.

  As for the black spot, for a person like him, only by constantly doing all kinds of things that are convenient for the world can it be possible to lessen the guilt in his heart.

  A person's guilt may not be revealed until he grows old; only when a person is lying on a sick bed and is about to die will he understand what true repentance is.

  Li Si has not yet reached the point where he is dying on the sickbed, but every time he sees the new changes in the Qin Empire, his heart is very subtle.

  Especially after seeing his daughter, the subtle feeling in his heart instantly turned into a sense of guilt.

  He thought that he might have done a lot of wrong things, and the retribution did not fall on him, but on his daughter.

  The third son died early, and the little girl lost her esteemed status as the imperial concubine, so maybe it was retribution.

  Su Wen raised his hand: "Since the spring day, I have known from a young age that Aiqing's mansion is very beautiful, why don't you lead me to see it?"

  Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Fortunately, I am willing to lead the way for Your Majesty."

  When Meng Hui saw this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help turning up. She got up and said, "But I don't know where Madam Shangshu is? Ben Gongdao also wants to talk to her in the past."

  A strange look flashed in the depths of Li Si's eyes, but he still bowed his hands and said: "Qi Xue the queen, the cheap is in the back hall, can you lead the way for the queen?"

  Su Wen looked at Meng Hui with a hint of gratitude.

  "of course can."

  The emperor wanted to talk to Li Si alone, and of course he was talking about Li Yao, Meng Hui of course could see that.

  Of course, when she was present, the emperor didn't care about some things, but as Li Yao's father, Li Si was not only worried about competing for favor in the harem, but the queen kept suppressing her daughter.

  I am even more worried about the daughter of the once and now peerless enemy.

  Therefore, the emperor was very grateful for Meng Hui's knowledge.

  "I can't help it, the flowers are gone, the familiar Yan has returned, and Xiaoyuan Xiangjing is wandering alone..." Su Wen whispered softly.

  Li Si praised on the side: "Good sentence! Good sentence!"

  Su Wen smiled: "I seem to have misremembered the order... I just remember these two sentences."

  Li Sidao: "Isn't this sentence originally written by Your Majesty?"

  "No." Li Si didn't believe it anymore. This is the same as how the emperor said that the ink needed for engraving and printing was improved by a master.

  Su Wen carried his hands on his back and walked down the gravel path. There were indeed a lot of flowers falling on the left and right sides.

  The schedule of this era is all based on the lunar calendar, which is different from the Gregorian calendar of later generations. Therefore, in early March, the prime minister's residence was full of flowers.

  There are also many petals scattered on the gravel path.

  Li Si is of course a wonderful person who knows how to appreciate the beauty of falling flowers, so instead of letting the servants clean it up, he deliberately stayed.

  Su Wen pointed to a precious plant in the flower bed: "It was planted by Li Yao and I eight years ago. I never thought that it has grown so well now."

  "The little girl is naughty and is not enough to serve Your Majesty. This minister's sin." Li Si hurriedly bowed his hands.

  However, Su Wen stretched out his hand and folded a flower, holding it in his palm. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Li Si, who was still in the same position of bowing and bowing:

  "What's wrong with being naughty? I like her naughty."

  When Li Si heard this, he liked it very much, but there was a worried look on his face.

  "It is precisely because of the stubbornness of the little girl that this makes Your Majesty in a dilemma. The son does not teach the father's fault, and the minister is willing to take the blame."

  Su Wen sat down on the edge of the pavilion surrounded by flowers, leaning leaning against the pillar:

  "That was before, after she entered the palace, she was spoiled by me, so Aiqing doesn't need to worry.

  I also said that Xianyang Palace has always been her home. As long as she wants to come back, she can come back at any time. If anyone dares to stop her from coming back, I will cut off his head. "

  Li Si hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty for your favor, Li Si... Li Si..."

  Hearing Li Si's sobbing voice, Su Wen squeezed the words in his hands into a ball and threw them in the flowerbed, his palms also stained with the scent of flowers.

  "Get up, I have always trusted you. If it wasn't like that, wouldn't it be better than teaching you how to make paper and printing paper?"

  Li Si couldn't help raising his sleeves, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he was laughing through tears:

  "I also feel that if this matter is handed over to the Ministry of Industry, it will definitely be faster and better than the minister."

  "But I just believe in you." Su Wen got up and stood in the pavilion, while Li Si stood outside the pavilion. He subconsciously reached out and patted Li Si's shoulder:

  "I, I will never treat you badly!"

  Li Si's body bowed lower: "Your Majesty has never treated Wei Chen badly, and there is no place for him to feel dissatisfied."

  "The Ministry of War still lacks a few officials. During the Northern Expedition, I saw Li Ding's bravery in my eyes. You asked him to submit a letter to ask for an official."

  "Here!" Li Si hurriedly bowed and knelt down. It was too obvious that he had written a letter to ask for an official.

  I am afraid that in the entire Ministry of War, except for the Minister of War and the Minister of War, all the official positions, Li Ding can choose by himself.

  How can such grace not make people want to repay life and death.

  "I have a lot of imperial sisters, and it's not a good idea to keep them in the palace. When the palace is proclaiming, they rarely go out of the palace. Whether Li Ding can honor the princess is up to her, I won't ask. ."

  Li Si, who was kneeling on the ground, had another joy in his eyes. There was already a princess in the mansion. If his second son could also get the princess, wouldn't it be wonderful.

  With two princesses in charge, plus the emperor's favor for Li Yao, the Li family should flourish for three hundred years!

  In the back court of the Minister of Officials, Mrs. Li knelt down at the feet of the empress in horror. How could her daughter and the empress of the Great Qin in front of her have grievances and grievances in the past, and how could she, a mother, not know? .
