Iron Dynasty

Chapter 81: Printing

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

   Xiao Ming said.

   As people continue to join the Bo Wenxuetang for classes, the space for the Bo Wenxuetang is becoming more and more insufficient.

   So Ming Xiao decided to build a formal school, and it was also 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 writes day and night are prepared for the Bowentang.

  Since Qingzhou’s education is basically a poor one, and he cannot conjure countless clones like a ninja, he can only adopt the method of teaching the lower grade students to the upper grades.

   And he only needs to teach the oldest students, and pass it on one by one.

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

  In modern times, the entire civilization did not wake up to seek change until the artillery of the great powers blasted open the closed door of civilization, but it was too late at that time.

   So now, Xiao Ming must spread different thoughts in his fief. Only in this way can he break the long-term cultural imprisonment, wake up the sleeping people of Da Yu and make corresponding changes.

   He wants to let an era of contention of a hundred schools of thought descend on the land of China again, and end the era where the words of one family will cover the world.

  Of course, he will not play the banner of opposing Confucian culture, because it will surely invite attacks from people all over the sky, which is not good for him to recruit talents and pay tribute. He only needs to put aside Confucianism and encourage other academics.

   He believes that the people can distinguish what is right, what is wrong, what needs to be retained, and what needs to be discarded.

   At this time, one hundred thousand slaves were only partly put into production. Before there were new workshops, they could only be construction workers.

   That's why Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to take advantage of this to establish the Bo Wenxuetang.

   Pang Yukun nodded, and then talked about another thing to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, the tragedy of 72 gates destroyed in Dengzhou has been investigated. Congratulations to your Royal Highness for winning another state. The Wang family also suffered heavy losses."

A smile filled the corners of Xiao Ming's mouth, "Qingzhou, Cangzhou, and Dengzhou, we have half of the military and administration, let them continue fighting, we only 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 said with a smile, "The subordinates are not afraid of hard work, I am afraid that his highness will not support him. Now that his highness supports the subordinates, the subordinates will naturally do their best and die."

  Xiao Ming is very fortunate that his predecessor was a bastard, but there are still some talents around him, otherwise he really can't come by himself.

"Also, I see that His Royal Highness looks tired, and His Highness should make sure that his body is right. I heard Aster say that His Highness has written a lot of things and has to copy many copies. Just ask a few scholars to do these things." Pang Yukun persuaded. , He has not changed the habit of the supervisor, and he advises from time to time.

   Xiao Ming laughed. He was tired of writing textbooks all night, but he didn't plan to copy many copies himself. He said, "Pang Changshi, I'm not stupid. This king has a clever plan."

Speaking of this, Pang Yukun became interested. The most important thing for scholars is books. Nowadays, books in Dayu are basically copied and spread. It is precisely because of this that the price of books is very expensive, and many poor students simply look down on it. Book, he said: "His Royal Highness seems to be giving me another surprise."

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

   Speaking of Xiao Ming took Pang Yukun to the equipment department, the equipment department is no longer a production department in Xiao Ming's positioning, but a research and development department.

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

In the Department of Equipment, Chen Qi is leading a craftsman to produce metal cubes one by one. Standard Chinese characters are engraved on these metal cubes. This is the typeface in movable type printing.

   Now Xiao Ming is preparing to establish a new workshop, this 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 typefaces are not made of mud, but made of metal.

  In this way, the service life of the font can be extended, instead of having to use it once and throw away a batch.

   This method is derived from the modern fifteenth century lead type printing, and it is also the easiest printing to achieve under Xiao Ming.

   If there are no accidents, this printing technique can allow a printing machine to print 300 sheets of paper a day, which is more than enough for Xiao Ming.

   After all, as long as there are enough workers and enough fonts, he can mass produce.

   When he saw movable type, Pang Yukun's mouth was open enough to swallow an egg. Da Yu country currently uses engraving. This backward printing method is slow and very rigid, and it is impossible to work around.

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

  "This...this is simply a great event for the future! "If Pang Yukun despises the products that Xiao Ming used to make money, now he admires Xiao Ming from the heart, from the perspective of a scholar.

Xiao Ming is not surprised by Pang Yukun’s reaction~www.ltnovel.com~ This type of type printing uses a metal mold such as lead, and Xiao Ming sets the font size according to modern standards, such as small four and small five. All have.

   Because of this, the fonts made by Chen Qi are of different sizes.

   "Pang Changshi, Qingzhou will not be short of books 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, he certainly did not neglect the construction of a paper mill. Since ancient times, papermaking techniques are basically the same, with the difference being equipment and labor.

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

  The degumming is the use of cooking and soaking to make the material fibrillated in lye, and beating is to make these fibers into a paste, and the papermaking is to pick up the pulp with a screen. This is the wet paper, and the rest is dry.

   For Xiao Ming, there is still not much paper used, so the paper produced by a purely human and animal-powered paper mill is enough for Qingzhou to use. After all, this is still an era of illiterate people on the streets.

   What kind of compulsory education, he can't even think about it now, no money, no teacher.

   Now he can only concentrate on cultivating a group of talents, so let's do it slowly later.

Generally speaking, the most important thing for him this time is to bring type printing technology. This technology has been used in modern times. It was not eliminated until the emergence of laser printing. It is definitely a printing technology for the country. Change ~www.ltnovel.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
