Shao Wen and Shaowu also nodded, "Yes, ma'am, among the four of us, Hong Xiu is the only one who can write words. If you let us in, it's better to go to the street and drag two people."

Gu Yundong couldn't help but glared at them, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, come and help me."

While speaking, she put the box on the table, opened the lid, and then carefully took out the contents.

What she took out was really strange, and Tong Shuitao, who was still a little dejected, was stunned and stepped forward to look.

"what is this?"

"Miss, why are there words on it?"

Gu Yundong nodded, "Yes, these are all characters. This thing is called movable type printing, and it is made of glue. It is much more convenient and quicker than the engraving printing we have seen before. Today we will use this to win the Marquis of Pingnan. House."

At this time in the Jin Dynasty, no one used movable type printing.

When Gu Yundong knew about it by accident last time, he really had this thing in his heart.

It's just that she only knows about movable type printing, and how to make it is not very clear.

So she and Shao Qingyuan found wood lettering and tried it repeatedly. Although they also came up with a simple version, they always felt that something was missing, and the font was a bit uneven and not neat.

Shao Qingyuan said that the texture of the wood is combed and dense, and it will become uneven when it gets wet, and it will stick to the medicine. It is too difficult to remove the board.

So, they switched to mastic.

After making it, Gu Yundong didn't rush to take it out. After all, she gave the magnifying glass to the emperor, followed by movable type printing. It was too high-profile. She has always been very humble.

And this, Gu Yundong wanted to remind Gu Dajiang to discover it, which would help increase his popularity.

It's a pity that I didn't expect it to be used on occasions like today.

As Gu Yundong moved, he explained to a few people, "This clay font is very thin, and it can be hardened by burning it after it is engraved. This is an iron plate with turpentine on it, and wax mixed with paper ash to cover it. This is an iron frame. Put things on the iron plate, and then we will type the font according to the words in the medical book, so, do you understand?"

Several people listened and watched, and their eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Understood, Miss, I'm good at this manual work, I'll do it."

Gu Yundong stepped aside and took out the second iron plate. She prepared two copies, which was convenient.

The other one was handed over to Lu Hongxiu to complete, and he took Shaowen and Shaowu aside.

"Ma'am, what do we do?"

Gu Yundong said, "I just looked at the medical book, and there are a lot of commonly used and uncommon characters in it. The fonts I prepared are missing some. Let's engrave the fonts on the spot."

Shao Wen and Shaowu nodded quickly. The hands of the martial arts practitioners are relatively stable. If they are asked to write, they may tremble, but there is no problem with the lettering. After two more visits, they will become proficient.

The five people worked together, quietly doing their own thing in the room.

It didn't take long for Tong Shuitao to arrange the first page of the medical book, and she glanced at it with a sense of accomplishment.

Lu Hongxiu's side was a little slower, because there were a few common words, and there were a few places she had to leave blank first.

Gu Yundong came to Tong Shuitao to check it twice, and after confirming it was correct, he nodded.

"Okay, let's bake it with fire first."

Tong Shuitao followed her instructions, carefully doing it step by step.

After the first page of paper was printed flat, several people present couldn't help cheering in unison.

"Out."
