Iron Dynasty

Well, taking advantage of the construction of the workshop area, the Bo Wenxue Hall will also be built at this time, so that the common people in the fief will have a place to go to school.

Xiao Ming said.

As more and more people join Bo Wen Tang to take classes, the space of Bo Wen Tang is becoming less and less.

So Xiao Ming decided to build a formal school, the first comprehensive school close to a modern school.

The area of ​​this school will be very large, and it will integrate various professional disciplines. The textbooks he has written day and night these days are prepared for Bo Wen Tang.

Considering that Qingzhou's education is basically poor and white, and he can't change countless clones like a ninja, he can only use the method of senior students teaching junior students.

And he only needs to teach the most senior students, and so on.

In a closed island civilization, people are always comfortable with their current lives and have little interest in change, but this is indeed extremely dangerous.

In modern times, it was not until the artillery of the foreign powers opened the closed door of civilization that the entire civilization woke up and sought change, but by then it was too late.

So now Xiao Ming wants to spread different ideas in his fief, so as to break the long-term cultural confinement, wake up the sleeping Dayu people, and make corresponding changes.

He wants to make an era of contention among a hundred schools of thought come back to the land of China, and end the era when one family's words speak for themselves.

Of course, he will not play the banner of opposing Confucian culture, because it will definitely lead to the attack of scholars all over the world, which is not good for him to recruit talents and pay tribute.

He believed that the people could tell what was right and what was wrong, what to keep and what to discard.

At this time, only a part of the 100,000 slaves were put into production, and before there were no new workshops, they could only be construction workers.

That's why Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to take this opportunity to build Bo Wen Tang.

Pang Yukun nodded, and then told Xiao Ming about another matter: Your Highness, the 72 massacres in Dengzhou have been found out, congratulations to Your Highness for winning another state, the Wang family also suffered heavy losses.

There was a smile on Xiao Ming's mouth, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Dengzhou, we have already mastered half of the military and politics, let them continue to fight, we just need to fight steadily, and the power from top to bottom is in our own hands. Pang Changshi, your task is not light.

Pang Yukun smiled and said, Xiaguan is not afraid of hard work, but I am afraid that His Highness will not support him. Now that His Highness supports him, he will naturally give his best and die.

Xiao Ming is very fortunate that his predecessor was a jerk, but there are still some talented people around him, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to come alone.

Also, I saw that His Highness looked tired, and His Highness should also ensure his health. I heard Aster say that His Highness has written a lot of things, and he has to copy many copies. You can find a few scholars to do these things. Pang Yukun advised. , His habit of speaking officials has not changed, and he advises from time to time.

Xiao Ming laughed. He was tired of writing textbooks overnight, but he was not prepared to copy many copies himself. He said, Pang Changshi, I'm not stupid, this king has his own plan.

Speaking of this, Pang Yukun became interested. For scholars, the most important thing is books. Nowadays, books in the Great Yu Kingdom are basically transcribed and disseminated. It is precisely because of this that the prices of books are very expensive. Book, he said: His Royal Highness seems to be giving me another surprise.

Xiao Ming waved to Pang Yukun and said, Come on, this king will take you there.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming took Pang Yukun to the equipment department. Today's equipment department is not a production department in Xiao Ming's positioning, but a research and development department.

Xiao Ming's new crafts will be born here, because there are the best technical talents in Qingzhou.

In the equipment department, Chen Qi is leading a craftsman to produce metal squares. These metal squares are engraved with standard Chinese characters. This is the typeface in movable type printing.

Now Xiao Ming is preparing to establish a new workshop, which is the printing workshop, and the printing workshop uses type printing.

This is a printing technology similar to movable type printing, but it is more advanced than movable type printing. These fonts are not made of clay, but made of metal.

In this way, the life of the font can be extended without having to use it once and throw away a batch.

This method comes from the modern 15th century movable type printing, and it is also the easiest printing method under Xiao Ming's assessment.

If there is no accident, this printing technique can make a printing press print 300 sheets of paper every day, which is enough for Xiao Ming.

After all, as long as there are enough workers and enough fonts, he can produce them on a large scale.

When he saw the movable type, Pang Yukun's mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg. At present, Da Yuguo still used engraving printing. This backward printing method was slow and very rigid, and there was no way to change it.

But now he sees a different scene. The fonts in Chen Qi's hand are of different sizes, and they can be typeset according to the requirements, which is very flexible.

This... This is a great event that will benefit the future! If Pang Yukun despised Xiao Ming's lucrative products, now he admires Xiao Ming from the bottom of his heart, from a scholar's point of view.

Xiao Ming was not surprised by Pang Yukun's reaction. This time the lead type printing technique used lead, a metal mold, and Xiao Ming set the font size according to modern standards.

It is precisely because of this that the fonts made by Chen Qi are also of different sizes.

Pang Changshi, there will be no shortage of books in Qingzhou in the future. Of course, there is one more thing, paper. Xiao Ming said.

Printing also requires qualified paper. When Xiao Ming established the printing industry this time, of course, he did not neglect the construction of papermaking workshops.

The power machine Xiao Ming can only use water and cattle power, so the equipment company is still producing the cattle power refiner he explained to improve the efficiency of beating, because the steps of papermaking are basically degumming, beating, copying, drying, and shortening one of them. , can increase productivity.

Among them, degumming is to use the method of cooking and soaking to make the material fiberized in the lye solution, and beating is to make these fibers into a paste.

For Xiao Ming, there is not much paper currently used, so the paper produced by a purely human and animal-powered paper mill is enough for Qingzhou. After all, this is still an era when the streets are full of illiterates.

He doesn't even dare to think about compulsory education, he has no money, and he doesn't have a teacher.

Now he can only concentrate on cultivating a group of talents, and he will take it slowly in the future.

In general, the most important thing for him this time is to bring the type printing technology. This technology has been used in modern times until the emergence of laser printing. change.
