Chapter 278 This great gift will be saved for the emperor’s birthday (third update)
Chapter 276

Wang Yang heard Li Shishi's words and wished he could kiss this beautiful little girl's pink face to show his approval. "You are right, but Master, didn't you realize that these six movable lead types can be arranged in any row?"

"Is there anything else strange here?" Everyone looked at Wang Yang with some confusion. They really didn't understand the meaning of this guy poking around with six movable lead types.

Unexpectedly, these guys were so clueless, Wang Yang really didn't know how to explain it. "Okay, wait a little longer, come on, let's make some more movable type, and you will definitely understand in a while."

Li Shishi was about to say something, but was held back by the thoughtful Liu Yiyi, and motioned her to wait quietly.After another half day of messing around.

Wang Yang picked up a few movable type, and then printed them one by one. This sentence is the saying: A gentleman is proud but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant but not arrogant. .

But this was not over yet. After changing several of the movable types, he once again applied ink and printed on the paper.

Master Li couldn't help but read this sentence. "The Master said: Only women and villains are difficult to care for...Master, you are not talking about my sister and me."

Tired for a long time, Wang Yang just got everything done, and was about to wait for these two intelligent and blue-hearted women to speak. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li's first question went astray, and he almost took a bite. The old blood in my heart spurted three feet away.

"Sister, what did you say, take a closer look before and after, how many typefaces did your master replace?" At this moment, Liu Yiyi's eyes were as bright as the lasers of the Academy of Sciences.

"It seems that there are five words that do not need to be changed, and the other words need to be changed." Li Shishi replied after taking a serious look.

Wang Yang saw Liu Yiyi's gradually enlightened look, Master Li's still confused look, and the confused expressions of the two carving craftsmen, and couldn't help but show off with pride. "Do you know that there are a total of 930 Chinese characters in the book "The Analects of Confucius", but only 350 Chinese characters are used in these nearly [-] words..."

Liu Yiyi, who had come to terms with it, patted her thigh lightly, her charming watery eyes were staring at Wang Yang's frightening face. "Brother Wang, in other words, you only need to prepare 350 five types of lead type, and you can print the entire Analects on the book, right?"

"That's natural. Since you two are old engravers, you must know the process of printing books, right? First engrave a plate, and then start printing. When printing the first engraving, you have to go Carve the second edition..." Wang Yang is also an excellent academic, and he is naturally familiar with the four great inventions of the Chinese nation.

In addition, since I purchased this printing workshop, I have conducted in-depth understanding and discussions on engraving printing, and I am very clear about the various disadvantages of engraving printing.

The emergence of movable lead type has definitely greatly solved the various disadvantages of using engraving blocks for printing in the past, not to mention that the production of movable lead type should not be too simple.

"The important thing is that the carved lead type can continue to be used whether it is printing "The Analects of Confucius" or printing "Spring and Autumn", instead of printing "The Analects of Confucius" as in the past, it can only be printed on wooden boards Carve the pages of "The Analects of Confucius", and after printing, these carved panels can only be put aside..."

In the cabin on the return trip, Wang Yang was still staying in the cabin with the two beautiful girls, even though the heat emitted by the carbon brazier in the cabin was far inferior to that of the iron stove.

However, the enthusiasm of the two beautiful girls around him made Wang Yang feel as if he had arrived at a Brazilian carnival in the middle of summer.

Liu Yiyi's expression on the left was flushed red, um...of course she wasn't shy, but excited.In her hand, she was carrying a small package.

On the other side are the six lead movable types that Wang Yang first produced, Wang Yang, a romantic and talented man.It was in line with Wang Yang's shameless behavior, but the reason why Liu Yiyi kept this thing was naturally not to remember Wang Yang's shamelessness.

but just pure
Next to him, Master Li also had a pink and tender face, especially those bright, watery eyes, which almost made hearts jump out of them.

"Master, how can you be so powerful that you actually came up with this kind of movable type printing? My God... I don't know how to praise you..."

"Well, it's okay, you've already praised me many times, and you don't need to praise me any more." Wang Yang touched his face, um... even with his shameless thick skin, Along the way, Li Shishi and Liu Yiyi, two beautiful girls, were praised so much that their old faces turned hot.

Especially their eyes that almost swallowed Uncle Wang alive, made Uncle Wang feel a little stiff. After all, it is very difficult to keep looking up at a 45-degree angle for too long.

#####
Wang Yang just made a demonstration there, and after that, he handed over the technology to Lao Zhaotou and Graduation, and then told the steward Maverick to hurry up and get enough lead and tin ingots for these two people. The two continued to make movable type.

I believe that with the speed at which they can make at least [-] lead type in an hour, they can make [-] characters a day, and after ten days, together with the frequently appearing repeated characters, such as Ziyue, Yun, Zhi, Yi, etc., it should be possible to think about it. enough.

Liu Yiyi was sitting next to Wang Yang in the cabin, and from time to time there were strands of smoke coming out of the carbon basin in front of her, causing Liu Yiyi to involuntarily narrow her eyes.

And without knowing when, his cheek had been leaning on Wang Yang's bearskin fur coat, feeling Wang Yang's broad and strong shoulders. "Brother Wang, why do you insist on printing "The Analects of Confucius"? Didn't Manager Niu say that the printing shop just picked up a job? Why don't you make enough typefaces and try printing other things first?"

Wang Yang looked at Li Shishi who was already lying on his lap, holding the iron chopsticks and moving the burning pieces of carbon like a cute cat playing with a ball of wool.

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, he tried to sit upright so that Liu Yiyi could lean on him more comfortably, and explained with a smile. "Have you forgotten that not long after next spring, it will be the birthday of our Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

"Could it be that you want to save this great gift for the birthday of Emperor Song?" Liu Yiyi's eyes flashed with brilliance.

"That's natural. As the saying goes, the king treats me as a gentleman of the country, and I should repay him as a gentleman of the country. Today's emperor treats me, Wang, kindly, and today's emperor is really..." Although Wang Yang She didn't go on, but how could Liu Yiyi not understand what Wang Yang meant.

What's more, in today's Great Song Dynasty, regardless of the government and the public, almost everyone only knows the virtuous name of the Empress Dowager. As for the Emperor Zhao Xu of the Great Song Dynasty, he is almost like a mascot.

Except for Zhao Xu, the nominal emperor of the Song Dynasty, who would come out every year on New Year's Day or various major events, or when sacrificing ancestors, the nominal emperor of the Song Dynasty would come out to show his presence, almost all the government orders on weekdays have nothing to do with Zhao Xu relationship.

Such an emperor was really aggrieved, at least Wang Yang was quite apologetic for Zhao Xu.
