The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Secondly, there is no need to make a complicated whole engraving. No matter what the content is, what needs to be changed is only the order of the Chinese characters in the frame."

After Li Fu's explanation, the eyes of the three craftsmen became brighter and brighter.

Printing can actually be done this way?

Why didn't I think of it before?

"This thing is called movable type printing." Li Fu said: "In the beginning, we need to do experiments, so I need you to use clay as raw material and burn out one or even multiple sets of characters."

"When everything is foolproof, the clay characters are replaced with lead type, and this thing will be done more or less." Li Fu said.

"I have explained the matter to you clearly. I still say the same thing. This thing I asked you to do must not be spread. What does printing represent? In the future, this academy will have more books for children to read. Once it is spread out, if the court cannot protect you, your lives will be in danger, and even this thing will die. You cut off the way for all children from poor families to study."

Li Fu wanted to make the matter more serious, and he could also scare people.

However, it sounds serious, and it is serious in reality.

Li Fu did not lie.

Reducing the cost of poor children's education is to shake the foundation of the family.

What does the family rely on to control the channel of rise?

Reading is one of them, and it is also the top priority.

The three craftsmen looked serious and nodded seriously.

If they were just thinking about their own lives before, then now, they care more about this matter in their hearts.

The way for all children from poor families to study cannot be cut off just because of the three of them.

They had heard a little about the academy during the two days they were in the manor.

Most of the students enrolled in this academy were children from ordinary farmers in the manor and the surrounding villages, and none of them were from wealthy families.

To be able to have the opportunity to study, to put it in an exaggerated way, it was really a great honor for the ancestors.

The academy also provided various subsidies for poor students.

His Royal Highness King Jingyang had already done this. If there was any problem with the three of them, they would be sinners for all eternity, and they would deserve to be dug up after their death.

"The place where you will work next is not here." Li Fu said, "I have a workshop somewhere else, which is dedicated to firing kilns. If you want to make clay characters, it will be more convenient for you to go there. Don't worry, there will be someone to arrange it when you get there, and you will be provided with food and accommodation as well."

"Everything is subject to the instructions of His Royal Highness."

The three craftsmen expressed their opinions in unison.

Suddenly, I felt that what I was going to do in the future was full of glory.

Li Fu was thinking, now that he has his fiefdom here, and even the manor next door is in his hands, should he move the kiln workshop here?

But after thinking carefully about the future plan, he thought it would be better not to move it for now.

The kiln workshop is over there, and it is convenient to get materials. Why dig in his own manor when he can dig in other places?

Anyway, it is only an hour away, so just bear with it.

The books sent from the palace two days ago were quite a lot. After they were copied, they were sent here and temporarily placed in the academy. They will not be open to students for borrowing. After all, they are all handwritten copies, which are still very precious at present. What's more, two-thirds of the children who are currently enrolled are in enlightenment classes. Even if they are given these books, they can hardly understand them.

Whether they can recognize all the characters is a problem.

Not to mention those students, some books are ancient books, and it is hard to say whether they can understand them.

In the Tang Dynasty, I was considered a semi-serious scholar.

Let the craftsmen quickly get the movable type printing, I believe there will be results soon.

When the movable type printing is out, a book will be printed in hundreds of copies, placed in the academy, and numbered, and then it can be borrowed.

There are also textbooks for children, which will still be printed by woodblock printing.

During the period until the end of the year, Li Fu had nothing to do, so he started to organize and compile the textbooks for the academy with Lu Deming.

Some of them need to use ready-made books, and some need them to adjust or rewrite.

What gives Li Fu the most headache is that he has to give them textbooks.

For example, when learning mathematics, the existing number reading seems a bit troublesome. In the process of learning, students should learn Arabic numerals and the multiplication table.

The multiplication table has been around for a long time, and it can be used with a little modification.

The multiplication table is also called the Nine-Nine Song, which existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and is from the "Algorithm Dacheng".

This book will be printed in several hundred copies in the future and will also be distributed to students as a textbook.

The Nine-Nine Song in it isFrom 9981 to 2244, there are 36 formulas in total, which are also catchy.

However, Li Fu is also used to the 99 multiplication table he learned in childhood. When the time comes, he will collect the opinions of teachers and students to see whether to use the version he learned or the version in "Algorithm Dacheng".

Li Fu couldn't help but sigh. The next step is all hard work and brainwork.

I didn't like to go to work, but I still had to go to work in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the "work" in my own village is not fixed. I can be late and leave early at will. When I want to fish, it all depends on my mood.

Who made me the biggest landlord in the whole village?

A landlord should also have some benefits of a landlord.

Before rebirth, I worked from nine to five.

After rebirth, I worked from nine to five in the Tang Dynasty.

Then I was reborn, so you can send me back.

In autumn, there were several heavy rains.

The people in the village were also very happy about the coming of these autumn rains.

The water level of the Jing River rose, and the canals in the village were filled with water.

Years ago, it was almost time for Li Fu to send the betrothal gifts. Before the winter solstice and Laba Festival, Li Fu returned to Chang'an City. Old Zhao, Xiaotao, Liu Niang and the rest of the family returned to the Jingyang Palace together.

It was a big deal for one's husband to send the betrothal gifts. It had to be sent to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion in a grand manner through the streets of Chang'an City.

Let Chang'an City also see the pomp of the Jingyang Palace.

In addition, sending betrothal gifts for marriage is not something that can be done secretly and low-key.

The King of Jingyang wanted to marry a princess, not a concubine, so he wanted to be grand and high-profile.

Anyway, the Jingyang Palace was rich.

Old Zhao, Xiaotao, Shitou, Liu Niang, and even Tiezhu came to Chang'an City.

They wanted to witness their husband's life event with their own eyes.

On the way to Chang'an City, everyone sighed.

Back then, Old Zhao was still worried about how to find a girl from a suitable family for his husband to get married and continue the family line.
