Chapter 277
On the second day, Crown Prince Cheng Qian followed Emperor Qinglong and began to go to court.

The civil and military officials were not surprised to see this scene. They were all crown princes, so it was not normal for them to participate in political affairs.Although the Crown Prince is still ten years old and a little younger, his performance in the court is almost speechless.

The Crown Prince either doesn't say anything, but whenever he speaks, he amazes everyone.Not only did Emperor Qinglong nod frequently, but all the civil and military officials also admired him deeply. He was worthy of being praised by several great scholars in turn.This is probably an innate talent.

"Second brother." After the court was over, Cheng Qian called Cheng Li and walked out of the Zhengde Hall with him.

"Prince." Chengli smiled in return.

"Let's go back to Xuanren Pavilion together. I also brought you a gift. You must like it." Cheng Qian looked like you got a big deal.

"Oh. Then I have to take a closer look. Hahaha." Looking at the fourth brother who was shining brightly in the court after becoming the crown prince, he didn't expect that there would be no change in getting along with him in private.

The two walked towards Xuanren Pavilion talking and laughing.

The adults of the San Dynasty all praised the brothers, friends and brothers. The crown prince was not only outstanding in ability, but also impeccable in conduct.

Chengli saw Chengqian hand over a piece of paper.

"Here, I'll keep it for you. You'll like it after you read it." Cheng Qian saw that the person didn't accept it, so he handed the thing forward again.

Chengli originally thought the gift would be something like the Four Treasures of the Study or a jade ornament, but unexpectedly it was just a piece of paper. He didn't react for a while until Chengqian handed it over again and then he hurriedly took it.

Chengli looked intently, and once he looked at it, he couldn't stop at all.

"Prince, you have truly touched my heart. Hahahahaha." Chengli laughed loudly, as if he had obtained a treasure.

"I knew the second brother would like it, but some details still need to be perfected, so it's up to the second brother." Cheng Qian smiled.

"Okay, then I have to go back to the Ministry of Industry, I think the Minister of the Ministry of Industry will jump up when he sees it." Cheng Li didn't say any more, and ran away like being chased by a dog.

Before returning to the capital, Cheng Qian knew that his mother-in-law had written a storybook. He heard that the response was particularly good, at least in the capital.However, since all current books are copied by hand, there are still hardware difficulties in distributing them further and wider.

Ben Chengqian read these words very seriously. He understood what his mother wanted to do, so he wanted to help her achieve it.

Regardless of selfishness or from the perspective of the entire Qing Kingdom, what the mother-in-law wants to do is a good thing.And what I gave out this time will not only help my mother and concubine's story books, but it will also be a great good thing for the literati in the world.

Royal study.

"Cheng Qian, did you give your second brother a printing skill a few days ago?" Emperor Qinglong was praised today by the Minister of Industry.

The crown prince was excellent, the second prince was down-to-earth and hard-working, and the good words poured out in baskets after baskets, making Emperor Qinglong feel embarrassed to praise him.

"Yes, mainly because I also discovered along the way that books are so precious to scholars nowadays, and the dissemination of handwritten books is really limited." Cheng Qian said solemnly, "Moreover, handwritten books are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and easy to copy. Mistakes and omissions hinder the development of culture.”

"Are you sure about the printing technique?" Emperor Qinglong also saw the advantages of it, but was afraid that his son would not be able to make it. This was his first official appearance after becoming the crown prince.

"In woodblock printing, after the manuscript has been written, the side with the characters is attached to the board, and the characters can be carved. The engraver uses different types of carving knives to carve the inverted characters on the woodblock into raised characters. At the same time, the remaining blank parts on the wooden board are removed to make them concave. The characters carved on the board surface are raised out of the printing surface, and then the carved board is washed with hot water to wash away the wood chips, etc., and the carving process is completed."

"When printing, use a cylindrical flat-bottomed brush dipped in ink and apply it evenly on the board. Then carefully cover the paper on the board and gently brush the paper with the brush. The exact image of the text or picture will be printed on the paper. Place the paper Lift it from the printing plate, dry it in the shade, and the printing process is completed. One person can print at least a thousand sheets a day, and one printing plate can be printed ten thousand times in a row."

Emperor Qinglong felt even more confident when he heard this. It was really a great idea.

"Are you not sure that you can be praised like this by Lord Shangshu? How does your father feel?" Cheng Qian couldn't help but joke, and he understood his father's worries.

"Okay. Okay. Okay." Emperor Qinglong's three good words already explained the problem.

"Now Qingguo is rich in products and people's lives are prosperous. Since the material level is satisfied, the spiritual and cultural levels are the current focus." Cheng Qian spoke eloquently.

The look of satisfaction in Emperor Qinglong's eyes grew stronger and stronger. Did Emperor Qinggan's style begin from this moment on?
