Movable type printing, what is this?

The man felt that he was wronged: "I don't even know what movable type printing is! Don't slander me out of thin air!"

The person who was speaking didn't care about his clothes being soaked by the lake water. He was panting and his fingers were shaking. "You! You are such a scumbag! Before you asked Bi Sheng to deliver the gift, didn't you take a good look at what the gift was?!"

"It's just a printing press. Why should I care about it? Why don't you do something else with your free time?!"

Others also tried to smooth things over: "Brother Zhuge, don't be angry, it's just a printing technique, just give it to Gu Nanxi. Brother Qiming is right, we are all busy with all kinds of things, how can we have time to look at this printing technique!"

The man called Brother Zhuge blew his beard and glared: "It's easy for you to talk, but when you know what Qiming has sent out, I wonder if you can still sit still!"

"What on earth is this movable type printing?"

Zhuge's face looked as if he had eaten shit, and he looked at Qiming as if he wanted to skin him alive.

"Although Bi Sheng was a small figure, he pounded the clay into clay embryos, and then used a carving knife to carve out positive characters to make movable clay characters. When printing was needed, all he had to do was arrange these small names one by one."

Everyone gasped.

The current woodblock printing technology is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. The characters carved from clay are very cheap, even if each character can only be used three or two times!

The key is that this job is extremely efficient!

Others have to carve a plate for each page they print, but he only needs to arrange it neatly!

The people who had printing houses at home were a little impatient: "Brother Zhuge, how did you know about this?"

Zhuge Liang sneered: "Everyone in Kyoto knows! Gu Nanxi is recruiting workers with great fanfare and is preparing to open a printing factory!"

After all, those present were not stupid and they quickly thought of other aspects.

"In this way, Baichuan Academy will be able to expand its enrollment again! Originally, the number of students in the imperial examination intensive class was very small because the Wu San could not be printed on a large scale. Once movable type printing is available, we can print as many as we want!"

"If Gu Nanxi had a more vicious mind and spread the secret book on a large scale in the Great Zhou, other candidates would not follow her pace, and the imperial examination would become more difficult!"

Everyone just felt their scalps tingling, and the imperial examinations would probably be even more competitive in the future!

As long as Gu Nanxi is willing, those cultural relics and ancient books that are regarded as treasures by each family can be given to everyone in an instant.

Lower printing costs and higher efficiency mean lower costs for acquiring knowledge and a wider reach.

This day, maybe it will really change!

Brother Qiming's face turned pale. Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, he swore to the heavens: "I really am not Gu Nanxi's man! If I were an undercover agent, why didn't I give it to her secretly?"

"Bi Sheng is an employee of your bookstore. Everything is traceable. If you give him money secretly, it will only arouse everyone's suspicion. That's why I deliberately did this!"

Brother Qiming was speechless and had a sad face: "How should I know this? The bookstore owner only said that Bi Sheng loved playing with mud, but he didn't say that he invented movable type printing!"

There was endless debate in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the emergence of movable type printing caused an earthquake in Kyoto from top to bottom.

Ordinary people were naturally happy to see the price of books drop. A set of the Four Books and Five Classics could not be bought without more than ten taels of silver.

If the printing factory of the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang started to operate on a large scale, given her personality, she would definitely cut the price in half? !

Inside the Fuquan Teahouse, the tea drinkers were discussing enthusiastically, and it seemed that they could foresee a future where everyone could speak eloquently!

"She is indeed the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang. Even Lu Ban came to celebrate her birthday!"

"Hey, didn't they say that Bi Sheng was just an apprentice who came to Kyoto from a bookstore in Hangzhou?"

"What do you know? Bi Sheng must have received some advice from Lu Ban to invent movable type printing. Didn't you hear him say that there is someone behind him?"

"I think so too. Even I can see the huge benefits and prospects brought by movable type printing. Even if I don't set up a factory myself, I can get a title if I submit this matter to the court. Who can give away such a good thing for free?"

"Then it must be a deity! Only a deity would not care about these fame and honors, and only a deity would give these things away!"

"Oh, fortunately, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was reborn in our Great Zhou. If she had been reborn in the northern border, I would not dare to think about it!"

The owners of bookstores, teachers and students in academies were also looking forward to this printing factory.

There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, but many of them have no chance to succeed due to their family circumstances and lack of knowledge.

As long as we provide them with a platform and some resources, perhaps among the common people there will be a Yan Shu who could write poems at the age of five and become a prime minister when he was young!

In the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, everyone frequently expressed their admiration for Gu Nanxi.

Lumei is even more considerate.

"Oh, Master, please sit down. How can I trouble you to do such a small thing?"

Gu Nanxi had no choice but to put down the handkerchief in her hand and let Lumei wet the handkerchief and wipe her fingers as if she was wiping some precious and fragile porcelain.

If she didn't have to go to the toilet herself, Lumei would probably have gone to the toilet for her!

"Lumei, your master is not that lazy."

Lu Mei gave Gu Nanxi a disapproving look and said, "Master, you have already suffered a lot since you came to this world! How can you trouble yourself to do such a small thing?"

Gu Nanxi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lu Mei knew that she was a person who traveled through the book?

Gu Nanxi looked at Lumei's expression and saw that there was only fanatical admiration on her face, without any fear or apprehension, so he felt relieved.

Then I felt a pang of sadness in my heart. Of course, I had no mobile phone, no computer, no internet here. I just ate and slept every day, and occasionally opened the door to receive a gift.

What a crime!

Lu Mei was still chattering: "The printing factory has been taken over by the eldest son and the young lady. They said that you can rest assured that they will handle this matter properly!"

Raise a child for a thousand days, use the child for a while.

Look, the three kids have grown up and finally know how to do things!

Gu Nanxi sat down and enjoyed Lumei's attentive service with peace of mind.

Little did she know that the motherly system code in her mind was almost completely messed up.

The loving mother system regretted for the ten thousandth time, why did it bind itself to Gu Nanxi? !

Look, Bi Sheng, who was supposed to die tragically in Hangzhou Academy, has suddenly become a guest official in Yongchang Marquis' Mansion!

Although movable type printing had been invented, it had not been widely promoted. However, within a month, it became popular in Kyoto!

The corn kernels that were supposed to be cooked and eaten by the accountant were now hidden in Gu Nanxi's private vault!

Crazy! The Great Zhou Dynasty is really going crazy!
