I Become A Saint By Studying

Chapter 354: The First Draft Of Movable Type Printing

"Is it finally all right?"

Lin Yi heard the news from the Ministry of Industry in advance and waited at the official residence early.

Behind him, Zheng Yu and others were also waiting silently.

They didn't really know what they were waiting for.

I also asked Lin Yi, when can they start copying those three articles in large quantities?

But Lin Yi smiled and told them that there is no need to copy.

This made them extremely confused, how could it be distributed to the whole world without copying it, and how could it be seen by the common people and those officials?

And what happened next completely overturned their cognition, and they deeply admired His Royal Highness the First Prince.

"coming!"

Lin Yi saw Chen Jingzhi leading the officials from the Ministry of Industry and dragging a carriage behind him.

It was hard for Lin Yi not to be excited.

This will be a pioneering move by Dayan, allowing the world to re-understand the imperial court.

"Your Highness, I kept you waiting for a long time. I haven't come over these days. I have been supervising the work in the Ministry of Industry. Although it is a bit late, I still live up to your highness's trust..."

Chen Jingzhi cupped his hands and saluted.

"Not too late, go directly to the printing workshop through the side door and try the effect."

Lin Yi personally led the way, leading Chen Jingzhi and the officials of the Ministry of Industry pulling the carts to the printing workshop.

All the ink and paper in the printing workshop are ready, the only thing that needs to be done is the fonts in place.

Once feasible.

You can screen and recruit printing workers, print on a large scale, and choose the date of opening at the same time.

Send all weekly reports to pilot state capitals.

"What did the Ministry of Industry bring?"

"It seems that His Highness asked the Ministry of Industry to order it. I don't know, but it may be related to the article we wrote."

"It's been a while since the incident in Nanxiang Mansion, and if we don't let the common people know about it, the common people won't feel too much about it..."

Zheng Yu and others who came to the printing workshop curiously looked at several boxes brought by the Ministry of Industry.

Wondering if it's silver?

"Zheng Yu, Changsun Ce... get your manuscript and rice paper ready."

Lin Yi told Zheng Yu and another Imperial Academy scholar to prepare the manuscript.

He opened the box.

When Lin Yi saw the neatly arranged characters inside, Lin Yi took a deep breath, and felt an indescribable feeling when he touched the characters on the characters with his right hand.

Bi Sheng.

The moveable type printing technique you invented, I brought it to the Shengwen Continent for you, bless me with a hit.

"Am I being too harsh on the sage, and I still ask him to bless me in this world..."

Lin Yi dismissed his thoughts, then called other bachelors, and carefully moved these fonts to the workbench.

There are many commonly used words in it, such as officials, common people, scholars, holy court, human Taoism... imperial court and other words, Lin Yi asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to burn a few more.

I am worried that there are too many such words in an article, which makes it impossible to print.

"This word is so beautiful, it seems to contain talent."

A female bachelor's eyes lit up, looking at the words on these fonts, she couldn't put it down.

Chen Jingzhi smiled and said, "This is all written by His Highness himself, and carved by craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. These craftsmen are all seventh-rank, and they are full of talent to prevent premature wear and tear."

"His Royal Highness's word?"

The scholars were stunned for a moment.

Looking at these words, Zheng Yu suddenly said, "Did you find out that the words of His Highness seem to be very similar to the words in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" in the Pavilion of King Teng."

"Look, these are the four characters Teng, Wang, Ge, and Xu."

Zheng Yu found these four characters from the font, and the more they looked at them, the more they looked like, they were exactly the same.

"Zheng Yu, what is the name of Jing Chengxiang Shi Jieyuan?"

"Lin Yi."

"Surnamed Lin?"

Hearing the whispers of these bachelors, Chen Jingzhi couldn't help saying, "Lin Yi is His Highness's name."

"what?"

hum!

Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce were stunned, their heads buzzing.

"Don't make random guesses, Lin Yi, Jie Yuan of the township examination, is me..."

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, and said, "According to the words on the article, find out the typefaces one by one, and put them into the grid of the movable type plate. Don't mess up the order..."

All the scholars' scalps were numb.

They never expected that His Highness is actually the one who wrote Ming Mansion's article "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng".

for a while.

The way they looked at Lin Yi, apart from showing respect to His Highness, was more of an admiration for Lin Yi's talent.

That article can be called a swan song through the ages.

Then they were also full of enthusiasm, wondering what these fonts could do when they were assembled into movable type.

But strangely, they found that these words are all inverted words.

Zheng Yu whispered, "Have you noticed that these characters look like seals..."

"Found!"

"I seem to understand a little bit. If we arrange all the fonts according to the content of the article, put them into this movable type plate, and then paint them with ink and print them on rice paper, wouldn't the article come out directly without copying?"

"Yes! Two copies of one copy will be very troublesome, but if it is printed in large quantities, it will be a great weapon."

"Ten thousand prints a day, that's ten thousand articles..."

Until then, the first batch of employees of Dayan Weekly did not know what it was.

There was a turbulent wave in my heart, and I was so shocked that I couldn't add it.

They looked up at Lin Yi in unison, feeling ashamed.

How old is Your Highness.

They may not read as many books as them, but it seems that they can be crushed in all aspects.

Chen Jingzhi observed the assembling of the fonts by the bachelors with his hands behind his back, and when he found something irregular, he couldn't help pointing out, "It's a bit crooked, fix it."

"This one too!"

"This line is a bit skewed, adjust the movable type."

"There are stains on this font, wipe it gently with a brush."

Lin saw that Chen Jingzhi was directing there, so he decided not to bother him, because the neat layout was not wrong.

"Do you have the stamped characters?" Lin Yi asked afterward.

A good weekly newspaper cannot be full of dense text, but should also have some embellishments.

In the future, among these Imperial College scholars, those who are good at typesetting will be responsible for the layout design.

"His Royal Highness, all according to your request, yes!" said the official of the Ministry of Industry.

soon.

Zheng Yu and others lined up the movable type version of the "Nanxiang Mansion Demon Attack Incident".

"Your Highness, we have arranged the first edition." Zheng Yu said.

Lin Yi walked over quickly, checked carefully, and said, "The three manuscripts are too closely arranged, separate them, and divide them into sections based on the title of the article..."

Lin Yi pointed out some problems.

Zheng Yu and others nodded and re-typesetting. This time Lin Yi was very satisfied, "It will look very comfortable this way. You should also pay attention to it in the future. When writing articles, you must consider the reader's feelings."

"It's easy to read, that's the most important thing."

"Yes!"

All the scholars listened carefully and kept it in their hearts.

"Xuan paper!" Lin Yi said.

"At this."

Chang Sun Ce spread out the rice paper, which was custom-made by Lin Yi and slightly larger than the movable type.

It can accommodate thousands of words of articles at the same time.

And these three articles are actually not too long. After Lin Yi crossed out some content, they are actually a bit like official announcements.

Concise and concise.

That is to say, the fewer words, the bigger things.

"ink."

A maester brings a bowl of ink.

Lin Yi picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and brushed ink into the type blocks on the movable type block.

Then pick up the rice paper and cover it on the movable type plate, and press it lightly with the equipped press plate.

Quickly remove the pressure plate.

'The time to witness the miracle has come...'

Plop!

Lin Yi's heartbeat accelerated slightly, he glanced at Zheng Yu and Changsun Ce, and found that they were also extremely nervous.

Chen Jingzhi was also tense, witnessing a miracle.

"Let's witness the birth of Dayan's first manuscript printed with movable type. I hope...it will be successful!"

Lin Yi took the not-so-thick piece of rice paper with both hands, and turned it over carefully...
