Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

“Your Majesty, if things are uncertain, it would be absurd for you to call us to be witnesses.”

Princess Pingyang muttered softly.

Li Shimin ignored them and instead looked at Li Yuanfang determinedly.

“Xuan’s promise remains unchanged, the witnesses present are all high-ranking authorities, and under multiple guarantees, the Ninth Brother can speak up about what concerns he has.”

“Isn’t it, this thing is actually true?!”

Li Xiaogong’s expression changed at this moment, and he looked at Li Shimin seriously.

Du Ruxian and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and explained in a harmonious manner.

“Someone in my room guarantees that the improvement of papermaking technology is real, and His Royal Highness King Zhou was busy with this matter a while ago in retreat.” Fang Xuanling made a reassuring gesture.

“The four of us saw it that day in the grid, and there were two kinds of new paper, one was toilet paper and the other was white paper.” Du Ruxian took the conversation and pointed to the person who was summoned to the Gewu Courtyard that day.

“Paper can be produced in large quantities, and such a large pool can produce more than 60,000 sheets of white paper for writing in half a month.” Fang Xuanling danced excitedly.

“In the same way, another thing is also true, the printing technology has been improved by His Royal Highness King Zhou.” Du Ruxi’s eyes narrowed, and he cut down the assertion categorically.

Well, after Fang Moudu’s explanation, the burning gazes of others fell on Li Yuanfang’s body.

“Ninth brother, Yuanfang, you personally told the imperial sister, you really did it?”

Raising his eyes and glancing at the surprised Li Xiuning, Li Yuanfang hesitated, but finally nodded.

“I did improve the printing press, called movable type printing,”

“The first step is to form a single-word Yangwen anti-text mold lead block, and prepare only a few thousand commonly used words.”

“The second step is to select the words according to the manuscript and arrange them in the word tray.”

“The third step, ink printing.”

“Finally, after printing, the font mold is removed and saved for the next typesetting.”

“The improvement of this method is inspired by the daily use of seals, which is also a bit troublesome in the picking stage.”

Everyone frowned, the wise man fell into deep thought, and the rest looked like they didn’t understand.

Li Shimin coughed lightly.

“Ninth brother, can you actually demonstrate it?”

“……”

Li Yuanfang was speechless, and casually beckoned at An Zuo.

“You go and bring the word tray and the usual word mold lead block.”

“No!”

Anzo led the way.

……

It’s just a moment’s work.

Anzo returned with a tray.

On the tray of mahogany sits a box containing a common typeface lead block, and a word plate is placed above the box.

The tray was rested on the desk, and the word tray and the commonly used word mold lead blocks were made very plain, without fancy patterns.

Li Yuanfang didn’t say a word, and he picked out the words and arranged a sentence on the word plate.

Zi Yu: Learn and learn, don’t you also say? Have friends from afar, not happy? People don’t know it, don’t they care about it?

The lead blocks that need to be used are selected from the boxes and arranged neatly one by one.

Then ink it with a brush, cover it with a piece of paper and print it on it, and the removed paper is printed with a neat line of handwriting.

Everyone present was shocked, and everyone raised their hands and rubbed their eyes.

With such a row of words, such a piece of ink, and such a place of paper, this is the end of the matter.

It’s a bit unreasonable~!

“This… This is movable type? ”

“Yuanfang, you managed to scare us all.”

“Ninth brother, your technique is extremely powerful!”

Li Yuanfang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“Thank you for your compliments, this concludes the demonstration of movable type printing.”

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he began to provoke the thorn.

“In contrast, movable type printing can be reused, and woodblock printing is expensive and inconvenient.”

“The war subsided, the country was unified, and there was a lot of demand for books, so woodblock printing came into being.”

“The emergence of movable type printing directly allowed the craftsmen who relied on this craft to eat, what is His Royal Highness King Zhou’s opinion on this?”

Li Yuanfang smiled and shook his head slowly.

“None, non-also.”

“Woodblock printing also has its advantages, woodblock can print pictures, this movable type printing technology can not do.”

“Many ancient books are not purely literal, so we might as well use the two printing techniques interchangeably.”

Using the principle of four or two thousand dollars, Li Yuanfang solved the difficulties from Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji nodded in satisfaction, and it was a pity to secretly say.

The brain moves so fast, he actually does not like to mix officialdom, and wastes his good talent in vain.

Qin Qiong looked at Li Yuanfang and sat there and said very seriously.

“The officials of the imperial court cannot all be controlled by the family gatekeepers, and the children of the cold family must have the opportunity to rise.”

“Otherwise, in a few years, my Great Tang will not be as good as the former Sui Dynasty, the land annexation will be serious, the people will be involved in the fires of war, and the country will not be a country.”

“His Highness’s improved paper and printing technology are very important, His Highness’s talent for innovation is more important, whoever wants to deal with His Highness, none of us present will let him go.”

Li Yuanfang thought and thought, and saw that everyone present nodded in agreement, and finally couldn’t help but ask three words.

“Why?”

“Because we all have a dream to assist Your Majesty in creating a peaceful and prosperous era, this idea has not changed at all, Your Highness can accelerate the pace of the Great Tang Dynasty entering the prosperous era, then we will do our best to protect you.”

Qunchen borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, not only answered Li Yuanfang’s questions, but also further expressed loyalty to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin’s helpless support also expressed a sentence of ‘middle two’.

“I aspire to be a prosperous king.”

“Whew~!”

Li Yuanfang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately laughed happily.

“One day, I, the Great Tang, will let the four sides come to congratulate ~!”

“Good, well said.”

When Li Shimin heard Li Yuanfang say this, he instantly stood up excitedly.

This sentence is equivalent to the signal of the ninth brother untying his heart, which is really gratifying!

Li Yuanfang also stood up and calmly emphasized the profit sharing.

“After the paper is mass-produced, it is divided according to the conditions we finalized that day.”

“You and my private treasury each have three percent benefits, and the Gewu Yuan and the national treasury each have one percent profit, and how the remaining two layers are distributed, the royal brother can arrange it as he pleases.”

Li Shimin nodded: “There is no opinion on this division method, the old rule is that the paper mill gives priority to recruiting soldiers, and militarized management is implemented inside.” ”

The reason why I will add such a sentence is that I ate the sweetness at the salt workshop.

“As you wish, the junior brother does not participate in management, just sits and waits to collect profits.” Li Yuanfang said casually.

The conversation between the two brothers caused many people to turn their strange eyes.

“Wait… You’re going to have a slick of it. Cheng Yanjin was confused.

“So what kind of papermaking is not a matter of filling money and losing money?” Qin Qiong was also full of question marks.
