Daqin: Zulong Asked Me to Be the Prince

"What is printing?

Ying Zheng asked.

He held a copy of the Book of Songs in each of his hands and kept turning his head to check it.

After watching it for a long time, it is still exactly the same, without the slightest difference!

"Printing is to dye words on paper through printing and dyeing."

Qin Feng explained,

"For example, if I want to print the words 'Book of Songs', I will first make the reverse side of these two words and make it like a stamp. I call it movable type."

"Then, I brushed a layer of ink on these two movable type, and then printed it on the paper-the body of the word was printed!"

"The whole "Book of Songs" is produced based on this principle! Hundreds of movable characters are arranged and combined into a plate, and with a brush of ink, it is a poem!"

"No matter how many times you swipe, the words are exactly the same! It's extremely convenient and fast!"

Ying Zheng nodded again and again.

"How long does it take to print the same Book of Songs in this way?

he asked again,

"How about copying by hand?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly.

"It is no exaggeration to say that it only takes two moments! 35

19

He stretched out two fingers and said,

“I just need to make all the movable type of the 305 chapters of the Book of Songs in advance and arrange the layout. 35

"Then, hand it over to 153 artisans to paint with ink and print with paper! Then turn over and change the version!"

"In two moments, all 153 sheets of paper have been printed, and it only needs to be bound into a book!

"Except for the time-consuming process of making movable type and arranging the layout at the beginning, whether you want a thousand copies of the Book of Songs or 10,000 copies, it only takes two seconds! 35

Ying Zheng: "!!!"

Holy crap, this efficiency is too exaggerated!

To copy a copy of the Book of Songs by hand, no matter how fast it is, it will take at least five or six days and nights to complete it.

And this printing, only two moments!

Thousands of books with the same regulation can be made in one day!

Love love love!

Ying Zheng has two characteristics, that is, he likes to be neat and tidy, and he likes to work efficiently!

Even with the entire Qin state, there is such an atmosphere!

The King of Qin, the officials of Qin, and even the people of Qin all pursued a neat order and superb efficiency!

And the advent of papermaking and printing just hit on top of their hobbies!

I like it very much!

"Not bad, really good!"

Ying Zheng held two identical "Books of Songs" and smiled brightly. He praised,

"This is also your idea, the masterpiece of those ink artists?

Qin Feng nodded again and again.

"Exactly.""

He humbly said,

"I have a lot of ideas in my head, but my hands-on ability is actually very poor.

"If it weren't for the assistance of Mo Lin, Mo Gang and the other group of ink practitioners, I am afraid that these things can only stay in the mind for a lifetime, and will never be able to manifest!"

"So, Erchen also thinks that Mozhe should not be swept into the rubbish heap and forgotten, they are of great use!

Ying Zheng nodded sincerely.

"In your hands, these idiots can indeed turn corruption into magic!"

He praised,

"it is good!"

"The widow likes talents the most! Since they are talents, they should not be buried! 55

"The widow must reward them, let them go to the positions they should go to, and contribute more to Da Qin! 35

At this moment, Ying Zheng had a decision in his heart!

He decided to hand over an important department of Daqin to Qin Feng as well!

"Father King Shengming!

Qin Feng smiled happily and saluted again.

"With these two new technologies, widows can also start doing things that they wanted to do before, but couldn't do!

Ying Zheng gently stroked his beard and smiled,

"For example, "The Law of Qin", the widow once imagined that everyone in the world would have one copy, so that everyone could read it!

"Before, this could not be done because bamboo slips were too heavy and expensive.

"Now that there is paper and printing technology, the idea is clearly a few steps away!"

"First of all, let the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the Qin officials all over the world, get a share of the staff!"

The Daqin ruled the country with legalism, and the "Qin Law" is the foundation of governing the country!

But all along, because of the heavy and complicated laws and the difficulty of transcribing, the latest full version of "Qin Lu" has a surplus in the Tingwei Office, and the other counties are in extreme shortage!

If the officials wanted to learn the "Law of Qin", they could only go to the government office to observe and recite them, and copy them by themselves. They were not even allowed to borrow them!

Qin is like this, not to mention the destroyed Yan Zhao and other countries!

The governance there is still in a state of savage growth and no way to manage it!

And now, two great gifts from Qin Feng are enough to change this embarrassment!

"The "Law of Qin" is also in the process of printing, the edition has been made, and the blank booklet has been vacant. 99

Qin Feng said solemnly,

"But Erchen also considers that "The Law of Qin" is the most important book in my Daqin, and the font must be solemn and solemn, so that people all over the world can watch and read it!

"Therefore, I don't dare to find someone to write the characters on this "Qin Law", but the father must assign a calligraphy master to write it!"

This copybook for writing "Qin Law" is no child's play.

Once it is written and the movable type is produced, it is the standard format of Daqin, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies will be printed!

At that time, if there is a problem with the strokes, or even a typo, then there will be 177 mistakes in the world!

This credit is very fragrant and fragrant!

But this responsibility... is also greater than God!

"Yep.

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice,

"You must find a great master of calligraphy to write down the character of my Daqin!"

"Who should I choose... um, Li Si?"

There were three and a half calligraphy masters in the Qin state.

The first one was Zhao Gao, who had been wiped out by the whole family.

The second is Chen Miao (the ancestor of official script) who was sentenced to life imprisonment for offending Ying Zheng.

The third one was Li Si, a court official.

The last half, of course, is Zhang Cang, who has read a lot of books and is a student of Xunzi with Li Si!

These four calligraphers all have their own characteristics and form their own style! They can be used as the writers of the standard edition of "Qin Lu"!

Of course, the first two are of course impossible to choose.

As for choosing one, or half, Ying Zheng pondered.

"After all, transcribing "Qin Lu" is an extremely labor-intensive thing, and there should be no distraction."

Qin Feng heard Ying Zheng mentioned Li Si, and immediately persuaded him,

"Master Tingwei is busy with his affairs, not only to deal with the difficult and miscellaneous cases reported by the county newspapers every day, but also to work hard to implement the business tax, he is afraid that he will not have the skills!!

"That's why I think it's better not to put such a heavy burden on Tingwei?"
