Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

Liu Bian showed them the word "big" and asked with a smile.

Cai Yong and the others couldn't cheer up,

The writing is good, but this method, it doesn't work.

"Your Majesty, the rubbing method really doesn't work. It would take a lot of manpower and material resources just to engrave the block into a book."

Cai Yong persuaded helplessly.

In this era, woodblock printing had not yet been invented.

He can think of woodblock printing based on Liu Bian's practice, which is quite good.

It is impossible for thinking to jump from rubbing tombstones to movable type printing all at once.

Facing his anxiety, Liu Bian smiled slightly,

Line up a few wooden blocks in your hand, and lightly smear the ink,

paper,

Press it on it, then take the paper up and show them,

Cai Yong and the others were taken aback for a moment, and read out,

"Long live the great man, the people are rich."

frowned,

There seemed to be a light in Cai Yong's forehead.

But what it is, I can't grasp it.

I always feel that these few small wooden blocks of His Majesty are not as simple as he imagined.

I saw Liu Bian then arranged the small wooden blocks, painted ink and rubbed them again,

"The great man is rich, the people are long... long live!"

Cai Yong's body shook,

The light in my mind was completely turned on.

He got it!

"Your Majesty, how did you think of it!"

"Split the characters one by one, then arrange them according to the needs, and print out the sentences you want!"

"It's as if... as if these words are alive!!"

Cai Yong was shocked.

A small change can have such a magical effect!

Tang Mao next to him was also very excited.

"As long as you prepare enough small wooden blocks and arrange them, you can print a book! And these small wooden blocks can be reused completely."

Compared with stele rubbing, it is a hundred times more flexible!

Cai Yong nodded vigorously, his old face flushed with excitement.

"That's right, with this method, batches of books can be quickly printed."

"Your Majesty's method is simply amazing!"

Compared with the worries just now, they are now seeing the sun through the clouds and mists, and their mood is extraordinarily clear.

"It turns out that His Majesty has thought of such a wonderful solution a long time ago, and we are just worrying about it."

Tang Mao said with sincere admiration.

First the horseshoe, then the printing press.

It's hard to imagine how His Majesty's little brain came up with these magical things.

It is simply the lucky star of the big man, the lucky star of the scholars in the world.

With the ability to mass-produce books, the cost of reading can be reduced, and there is no need to worry about the official career being controlled by the family.

"Your Majesty, how did you come up with this method?" Cai Yong asked curiously.

Liu Bian smiled slightly,

"Does Cai Qing still remember the mahjong I invented?"

"Mahjong?" Cai Yong was taken aback.

He always thought that the mahjong invented by the emperor was an insignificant entertainment tool and could not be put on the table.

Therefore, he did not have a deep understanding.

But I didn't expect it to be related to this magical printing technique!

"good."

Liu Bian took out a pair of mahjong and arranged them, "Mahjong can be arranged in any order, so I thought, if the words are arranged, can they form a sentence? So I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be possible."

"I care about this. It's called movable type printing."

He had already thought up the excuse, and Cai Yong and the others were stunned for a while, calling it amazing!

Mahjong actually has such benefits. It seems that in the future, we have to study it carefully.

"I have a question, sir."

At this time,

The silent Zuo Bo suddenly interjected.

I saw his face was dignified, he didn't seem optimistic,

"Your Majesty, the two Grand Masters."

"Printing requires a lot of paper. With Shangfang's current manufacturing capacity, the paper that can be produced every year is not enough to write a few books."

Shangfang is Dahan's organization in charge of industrial manufacturing.

Zuo Bo's official position at this time is Shang Fangling.

The Shangfang sword of later generations was also a sword made by Shangfang, and became a symbol of supreme power.

Because the production capacity is not so perfect, and the cost of counterfeiting Zuobo paper is not low, and the process is relatively complicated, the production speed is not so fast.

As a result, Zuo Bo paper is still used by the nobles and cannot be civilianized.

This is a big problem.

The excitement of Cai Yong and Tang Mao dropped by half.

indeed,

The printed characters are too big, and this half-foot-long paper cannot print a few characters at all.

But at this time, Liu Bian smiled slightly, took a book from the desk and handed it to them.

"Look at this."

"The Analects?"

Seeing the cover, the three of them were shocked,

"This... what kind of paper!"

Uncle Zuo grabbed the book, his eyes widened in shock.

He rubbed the paper with his hands, smelled it again, and tested its toughness.

"The thickness is more uniform, the texture is finer, and the toughness is higher! This is the most perfect paper that I have been pursuing for a long time."

"Your Majesty, who invented it, and what kind of paper is it called?"

Zuo Bo was very excited.

His whole life was devoted to the improvement of paper.

The Caihou paper has been improved hundreds of times, and the Zuobo paper is now available.

However, compared with the book that the emperor took out, Zuo Bozhi is nothing but rubbish.

Instead of being shocked, he was extremely excited!

However, if Zhang Xiu were here, he wouldn't be so excited.

"This is bamboo paper. Of course, trees and vines can also be used to make paper. That's why I asked Yuan Shao to collect bamboo."

Liu Bian said lightly.

"It turns out that His Majesty collects bamboo to make paper. I thought you were making bamboo slips."

Cai Yong suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, this kind of paper is much more advanced than Chen's improved paper, and it must be troublesome to manufacture." Uncle Zuo was very worried about its output.

Liu Bian smiled slightly, "No, its production process is very simple. I have a complete book of papermaking techniques here, covering all kinds of paper making. Go back and study it carefully, and make high-quality paper for the big man as soon as possible."

"However, there is one thing to remember. This technology must not be leaked out. After the successor is selected, it must be brought to me for personal review."

"Tang Qing, Cai Qing's movable type printing is entrusted to you. When engraving fonts, you can try to make them as small as possible. There are 150 to [-] characters on a page, which will not affect everyone's reading and save money. paper."

"But just like papermaking, it must be kept strictly confidential, and no outsiders should know about it. Do you understand?"

These two skills are Liu Bian's weapons against the family, so naturally the family cannot learn them.

All three understand this,

They all swore: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will protect these two technologies just like protecting my own life!"

now,

Their hearts are surging and full of energy!

Because of them, a great thing is being done.

"By the way, I have another good thing, let's pass it on to you as well."

And the good stuff?
