Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!
Chapter 135 Movable Type Printing
Conquering the Huns is just a small beginning!
Sooner or later, Ying Zheng will unify the Kyushu, and the world will be unified. Under the whole world, could it be the land of Qin, and the shore of the land, could it be the minister of Qin!
After the court meeting ended, Ying Zheng immediately issued an order.
"Prepare the car, go to Jingshui!"
. .
"Che'er, daddy is here to see you again!"
Ying Zheng smiled and led everyone into the mansion.
Zhao Che was obviously lazy these days, and it was no surprise to see Ying Zheng coming.
"Come in and sit down, dad, what happened this time?"
Zhao Che greeted everyone to get on the kang, and casually asked Ying Zheng a question.
Ying Zheng rubbed his palms, thinking about how to raise this matter with Zhao Che more appropriately.
If Zhao Che was not so monstrous, how could he feel that his servants were so incompetent.
"So, you think your subordinates are not open-minded enough and lack knowledge, and you want me to teach them?"
After listening to Ying Zheng's narration, Zhao Che also understood the reason for Ying Zheng's visit.
"Che'er, these people are the foundation of our future rebellion. The better you train them, the easier it will be for us to deal with Daqin?"
"Father, what you said is indeed true!"
Sure enough, upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Che immediately became interested.
"Originally, I didn't intend to take this thing out now, but since you have said so, Dad, let's try to promote it first!"
"Oh? What is it, take it out and have a look!"
Yingzheng secretly thought that sure enough, Zhao Che had a lot of hidden things, didn't he take them out again this time?
"Here, this is it!"
Zhao Che took out a book from under the table, threw it in front of everyone and said.
"Book?"
Ying Zheng read it over and over several times, but he didn't find any mystery about the Ritsu Honda.
"Confused, dad, don't you know what books represent? This is knowledge. As long as we have a lot of books, we can select and train talents everywhere. Are you still worried that no one under your command can use them?"
"That's what I said, but where can I find so many books, and how do I know who is worth cultivating?"
Yingzheng shook his head. The reason why scholars had a high status in ancient times was not because they read a lot of books.
"Then what if I say that I can make the cost of books so low that it can be almost ignored? So that tens of millions of Guizhou heads in Daqin can afford to read books, so are you worried that you won't be able to cultivate talents?"
"Let Daqin's tens of thousands of capitals afford to read books?"
Zhao Che's words directly made everyone present dumbfounded.
It is no exaggeration to say that to achieve this is even more difficult than when Ying Zheng unified the six countries.
The cost of books is very high, not to mention how much a roll of bamboo slips costs.
With the bamboo slips, the content in it still needs to be transcribed manually. It may take ten days and a half months at the earliest to transcribe a book. If it is slower, it will take several months.
Of course, with the rice paper presented by Zhao Che, it can naturally replace the role of the bamboo slips, and it can also reduce part of the cost.
But labor can't be saved, it's not like asking people to transcribe word by word.
"Che'er, what you said is simply unrealistic. If you can really reduce the cost of books to such a low level, then you will be working hard for your father to spread this book!"
When Ying Zheng spoke, there was still a glimmer of hope, what if?What if Zhao Che could really create a miracle?
"Hey, it seems that you still don't understand my methods!"
Zhao Che laughed, and ordered Maverick to find him a small piece of wood.
Afterwards, Zhao Che picked up a knife and began to carve on the wood.
"What is this doing?"
Ying Zheng and the others went in without knowing it, but they didn't dare to disturb Zhao Che, so they could only watch quietly from the sidelines.
Not long after, Zhao Che blew on the sawdust on the wood and threw it on the table.
"Movable type?"
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and four big characters were carved on the wood.
"Yes, it is movable type printing!"
As Zhao Che said, he divided the piece of wood into four pieces, each with a word on it.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Che began to arrange and combine the four characters to form different words.
"I understand!"
Li Si's eyes lit up, and he suddenly called out.
"What do you unserstand?"
The rest looked at Li Si.
"The movable type printing you mentioned should be to engrave each character individually into a type, and then arrange and combine them separately. You only need one set of type, and you can print a variety of different content, and if the type is broken, you can just replace it. In this way, it directly replaces the trouble of manual handwriting!"
Movable type printing is actually not difficult, as long as you take a look at it, you can understand it.
With Li Si's explanation, Ying Zheng and the others came to their senses.
"So, as long as we have enough fonts, we can print all kinds of books without limit?"
Ying Zheng was a little excited. He never expected that such a small method would solve the big problem of expensive books.
This movable type printing, combined with the rice paper, is simply perfect.
"How? Now that rice paper is available, combined with movable type printing, the speed and cost of book production will increase all of a sudden. Are you still worried that you won't be able to cultivate talents?"
Zhao Che hiccupped and said very calmly.
"Hiss, with these two things, why worry about my Great Qin being unhappy?"
Ying Zheng hugged the four characters with excitement on his face. These four small wooden cubes carried the national destiny of the Great Qin Dynasty for thousands or even ten thousand years. It would not be an exaggeration to take them back and confess.
"Your Majesty, this alone is not enough!"
At this time, Meng Yi secretly whispered something in Ying Zheng's ear.
"Ahem, Che'er, you also know that most of the books in Daqin are actually books handed down by the so-called sages. Of course, there are precious books worthy of inheritance, but there are also a lot of dross. If a group of nerds are cultivated, they will It's useless!"
"Textbook, I'll get it for you!"
"Great, this is it, Cheer, how many textbooks do you have, give them all to me, and I will go back and order people to start mass printing!"
Ying Zheng was inexplicably excited, and he was still secretly thinking about whether he should just get Zhao Che drunk the next time he came over.
Sooner or later, Ying Zheng will unify the Kyushu, and the world will be unified. Under the whole world, could it be the land of Qin, and the shore of the land, could it be the minister of Qin!
