Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

What Shen Changjun thought of was printing.

When it comes to printing, the Great Jin Dynasty actually had printing, but I don’t know how the technology is, whether it is engraving or movable type, the folks should not have it, but only the royal family has it, and it can be printed.

Shen Changjun's thinking was very simple. What he thought of was publishing newspapers.

At this time, his thoughts had been completely opened up, and he asked, "Do you know what the printing technique of our Great Jin Dynasty was like?"

Zhu Xuanyao immediately said: "I know this. I first carved a lot of protruding characters on a stone tablet, then spread the paper on it, and rubbed it down with ink. Brother Shen, what are you asking for this? This is under the control of the Ministry of Industry. of.?

"Oh, that means there's no movable type yet?

Then there is a goal. The problem of movable type printing must be solved first. As for the paper used for printing in the future, the paper of the Jin Dynasty cannot be used because it is too expensive.

However, he knows a rough papermaking technology. Although he only knows the theory and has not practiced it, it is not too late to study it now.

"Movable type printing? Brother Shen, what kind of movable type printing are you talking about?" Zhu Xuanyao asked suspiciously.

Shen Changjun said: "The printing technology that I am now using should belong to woodblock printing, which is fixed and the order of characters cannot be changed, while movable type printing allows a single character to be placed in any position for arrangement and typesetting."

Zhu Xuanyao and others looked at him in surprise.

"You'll know this when it's done." Shen Changjun didn't say much.

He couldn't sit still because he had something on his mind, so he got up and said, "Let's leave today, I have to find someone." Then he left in a hurry.

The three little friends who looked dumbfounded were left looking at each other.

When Shen Changjun came out of the teahouse, he realized that it was getting late. He sighed, it seemed that the talk could not be concluded today, so he simply went home first.

The person he said to be looking for was also an old acquaintance, of course it was Chu Zhaolin.

Shen Changjun returned home and found a pen and paper to write and draw. Now there is no living room, so he does it in the room.

Jiang Liu has already returned from the store, and the baby has also been carried back.

He watched her husband keep busy as soon as he came back and didn't bother him.

The little babies are also very well-behaved, and they are extraordinarily quiet when they see their father busy.

Shen Changjun stopped after he finished writing and drawing. He suddenly realized how quiet the room was. Turning his head, he saw a large pair of eyes looking at him, and couldn't help laughing.

He walked over and kissed each of them, and the family resumed their usual laughter.

The next day, Shen Changjun went to Chu Zhaolin's other courtyard in the capital.

Now that Chu Zhaolin was left in the capital by his master, it was considered an upgrade.

The housekeeper brought him to the living room, and after a while, Chu Zhaolin came out.

"Mr. Zhang, sit down quickly, why are you free today?" Chu Zhaolin greeted enthusiastically.

Now he can be said to be in good spirits on happy occasions.

Shen Changjun said with a smile: "I have been working with Brother Chu for so long, and I am used to it. No, I will come to you whenever I have something to do. You should read this first." Then he took out two pages of paper from his pocket .

Chu Zhaolin is now used to seeing his movements, and immediately knows that this is something rare.

He took it, opened it, and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. This is not an ordinary thing. It is something related to the development of the country, but it is very important.

If this happened, maybe his master would be closer to that seat.

"Mr. Chang, what do you think?" Chu Zhaolin asked cautiously.

"Actually, I don't have any ideas, but if you do it, you can make me feel good, hehe." Shen Changjun said with a smile

Chu Zhaolin only thought that he was going to print a book, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell the master about this." Chu Zhaolin carefully put the two pages in his arms.

Shen Changjun didn't stay long when he saw the matter was over, they are used to being straightforward like this

Chu Zhaolin was also a little anxious to find his master, so the two went out together.

When Shen Changjun returned home, he began to research and make a kind of paper that he knew.

The materials used in this kind of paper are plant fibers such as grass, bark or waste paper, and then through the steps of chopping, cooking, grinding, screening, etc., the pulp is first made, and then the slag removal, pressing, drying and other steps are carried out, and finally it is finished. Paper.

The paper produced by this method is not as delicate as rice paper, and the surface is a bit rough, but it is enough for printing newspapers.

Time passed by every minute and every second in his repeated attempts. When Shen Changjun finally made the paper successfully, he was so happy that he couldn't express it.

Without thinking about it, he took the paper and went out to find his three friends.

Ever since Zhu Xuanyao and the others got the library, they have been conscientious. They come to report every day and have never been lazy.

Shen Changjun can find them by coming here directly.

Nowadays, there are not many people who come to the library every day, not because they don’t know that there is a newly opened library here, and this is the capital after all, and people who can study in the capital do not lack these.

Moreover, their books are all old books, and there is really nothing to read.

Shen Changjun's goal is not only to open a library like this in the capital, but here can only be regarded as a demonstration site for him. In the future, he will open it in farther places to help more people.

So Shen Changjun recruited those three people to sit down at a stairway on the second floor, where you can see most of the upstairs and downstairs, including the store door downstairs

"Brother Shen, what's the matter?" Since there were students reading books upstairs and downstairs, Shen Zhangjun asked them to handle everything with care and speak softly, which Jingyuan remembered.

At this moment, he asked in a whisper, with a mysterious expression on his face, like an underground party joint, which made Shen Changjun laugh.

He took out the newly made paper from his pocket and put it on the table.

Zhu Xuanyao sat beside him, and was the first to pick it up and look at it.

"Why is this paper so rough, can you write on it?" After finishing speaking, he put it down without interest.

Lu Zhipeng then picked it up to look at it, and said, "Brother Shen, where did you buy this paper?

He Jingyuan snatched it from him, looked at it again and again, and said, "Brother Chen, have you been cheated? I want us to come out to you and teach him a lesson."

Shen Changjun laughed and said, "I made this paper."

"What?" The three asked loudly at the same time.

This voice caused the people in the library to frown and look over.

They immediately shrunk their necks guiltily, and whispered again.

"Brother Shen, did you do it? Did you really do it?"

"I did it. I came to you just to tell you about it."

"Brother Shen, you can actually make paper, that's amazing." He Jingyuan gave him a thumbs up and said, but Brother Shen, this paper is no good, it's so rough, no one buys it. "He unfortunately hit his thigh straight.

"It's not selling paper." After Shen Changjun finished speaking, he thought about it wrong, and explained, "It's selling paper, but it's not this kind of paper without words, but paper with words."

The more the three listened, the more confused they became. Paper with words?Then no one bought it, so how can you write on it when you buy it back.

"Let me tell you this. I made this paper out of grass and bark, so it was a little rough. I mainly used it to print newspapers. I have already had people do movable type printing. Soon, We can then publish it ourselves, and the content of the publication can be miscellaneous journals, current affairs news, or comic books. Didn’t I say last time that the criminal law should be drawn in the form of pictures, and then it can be implemented in this newspaper and then published, this paper It’s cheap, you can have a copy, even ordinary people who can’t read can buy it.”

Now all three of them understood, and after understanding, they kept saying in their hearts, "It's incredible, it's incredible, it's really incredible."

Zhu Xuanyao said: "Brother Shen, what are we going to do now?"

Shen Changjun said: "Find someone to find a place to make paper secretly."

The three of them said with a clear face: "Understood."

Shen Changjun left this matter to them.

After all, they all came from powerful backgrounds, so it was easy to find a secret place with reliable staff.

Sure enough, within two days, the three of them came to look for him together.

Now that the place and people were available, Shen Changjun led them to make paper.

There is nothing difficult about this, basically you can teach it twice.

There is no news from Chu Zhaolin for the time being, he should be stepping up the production, and he is not in a hurry.

During this period of time, Shen Changjun asked them to find some interesting things, or try to write a travelogue, or if something important happened in the capital, to collect some.

He posted a solicitation post in front of the library door, the content is as follows

Original picture books or stories, miscellaneous notes, etc. are collected for a fee. The themes must be novel, serialization is possible, and those who are interested can discuss in detail.

Paid collection of current affairs news, cases of people's livelihood in various places, successful or unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, etc., must be based on facts, with evidence and evidence.

As soon as this post was posted, the library was full of people.

Many students are talking about it, what does it mean?real or fake?and so on.

However, there are also those who are thoughtful, and find Shen Changjun himself to ask what happened.

After hearing it, they were all very interested, and Shen Changjun promised that they would not release any of their personal information to the outside world, so they can rest assured.

On this day, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the library.

Chu Zhaolin jumped out of the carriage.

When Shen Changjun saw that he rushed out to greet him, he was excited for a while. He knew that Chu Zhaolin's coming must be because things were ready.

"Brother Chu, how are you doing?"

"That's not to say, live up to the entrustment."

The two were dumbfounded outside, and finally looked at each other and smiled.

Chu Zhaolin asked, "Where are you going to put the things?"

"Let's go, Brother Chu, I'll take you somewhere." After saying hello to He Jingyuan and Lu Zhipeng in the store, he took Chu Zhaolin away

Now, one of them will temporarily stay at that "secret base" every day in case something unexpected happens.

The person staying behind today is Zhu Xuanyao.
