The Mad Prince of Tang Dynasty, Inheritance of the Sword Saint at the Beginning

Shanzu was puzzled.

Hybrid rice?Potato?She had never heard of either of these things.

It's a bit deceiving.

Looking at Wu Jiangxian's busy figure from a distance, Murong Yue said.

"Master, Sister Jiangxian is too busy, why don't we go and see if the improved papermaking and movable type printing techniques are so amazing."

After finishing speaking, Murong Yue didn't wait for Sun Simiao to agree, and ran in the direction Li Kuan left in a jump.

Sun Simiao sighed, his own cabbage was about to be eaten and wiped clean, his heart ached.

Although Zenzu was curious about hybrid rice and potatoes, but the others had left, and it was hard for him to stay here alone, so he also followed.

On the back side of the palace, there is a place called Organ Square. Li Kuan expressed his satisfaction with this name.

Walking in, I saw that the organs I had never seen before were manually operating, constantly stirring bamboo leaves, dry bark, etc. into a paste, and the fragrance of the leaves came to my face.

When the paste is ready, it is brushed on a thin wooden board, put on the fire and dried, and it becomes a piece of white paper.

The toughness is excellent, and the ink will not smudge and spread on it.

A piece of paper can only be made out of ten breaths.

You know, the paper of Datang now takes a quarter of an hour at the fastest.

Bark, bamboo leaves, etc. are common things, easy to obtain, and papermaking is so fast, why worry that ordinary people can't afford white paper, and scholars are reluctant to write.

"Not bad, let me try."

Li Kuan picked up the pen and ink, and wrote on the warm white paper just out of the oven.

Princess Nanping was the most curious, picked up one and touched it.

"Second brother, the paper you make is really good. The paper is so amazing, what kind of movable type printing is it? Take me to see it."

Li Kuan said fondly.

"Okay, the second brother will take you to have a look."

In front of another palace, it says "Holy Confucian Palace."

This made everyone dumbfounded.

Holy Confucianism?Only Kong Sheng can afford this title.

The tone of His Royal Highness is too loud.

While feeling emotional, I heard Fang Yiai say again.

"With movable type printing and improved papermaking, His Royal Highness will be regarded as a holy scholar by the world!"

Everyone became more and more curious about what kind of magical method made Fang Yiai, who is a scholar, say such things.

The word "Sage Confucianism" is not a joke.

Chapter 180: Drawing a World Map

Knowing that everyone didn't believe it, Fang Xuanling smiled and pushed open the door of the Holy Confucian Palace.

The moment the door was opened, the woody smell of fresh paper mixed with the rich fragrance of ink came from the hall, which made scholars feel like they were in heaven after smelling it.

Looking around, there are rows of bookshelves on both sides, and the bookshelves are full of paper for printing books, at least one hundred thousand copies can be printed.

Nanping frowned.

"It will take at least a year to make so many books, and people from the entire Imperial College have to transcribe them."

Li Kuan remained silent and looked forward.

In the front, the mechanism equipment manufactured by the mechanism puppet according to Li Kuan's design is running independently. Using graphite-soaked lithographs, rubbings are rubbed on white paper, and then dried, and one page of the book is ready.

Because it is mechanical, the speed of rubbing is faster than that of making paper.

Everyone walked over and found that the words on the stone slab were composed of small seals, which could be arranged and changed at will, and then combined, without manual transcription at all.

To be able to come up with this method is simply a genius, no, it is a shocking genius!

Nanping said in surprise.

"Father often said that there are too few scholars in the world, and there are too few available scholars, because paper is too expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to read."

"If there is improved papermaking and movable type printing, people in the world will no longer have to worry about having no books to read!"

Fang Xuanling said.

"All of this is thanks to His Royal Highness, and it is His Highness' idea and method."

"So, the crown prince is a contemporary sage, worthy of the name."

Now, no one refuted it, and it was foreseeable that Li Kuan's improvement would have a huge impact on the entire Tang Dynasty.

With movable type printing, [-] books can be printed conservatively in a day. (Ancient books are relatively thin)

Nanping kept saying things like "Father must be very happy".

Li Kuan touched Nan Ping's head and said kindly.
