Bi Sheng?
Ying Yuan's heart moved.
This is the ancestor who invented movable type printing!
I didn't expect to meet him in this world.
It’s just that some of the growth experiences have changed.
Bi Sheng here has already made a name for himself in the printing industry in Xianyang City.
The books he printed were basically provided to princes and ministers.
However, it seems that Bi Sheng had not yet developed movable type printing.
Well, since I am taking over your duties, I will give you the job of printing books.
Make you rich for life.
Ying Yuan made up his mind.
He certainly didn't want to delay the printing of the book any longer.
Because he wanted to promote the imperial examination as early as possible.
"Convey my decree and summon Prime Minister Cai Jing and Bi Sheng to the palace."
After Ying Yuan gave the order, he did not hesitate at all.
He immediately ordered his troops to split into two groups, one to invite Cai Jing and the other to invite Bi Sheng.
The former was originally working in the imperial city, so after hearing the emperor's summons, he was able to rush here as soon as possible.
When Ying Yuan saw him slowly walking into the hall, he couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know what this is?"
Hearing this, Cai Jing looked at the movable type made of clay on the table, which was of the same specifications, and frowned.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my limited knowledge. I have never seen this thing before, let alone what it is."
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "This is the movable type printing I made..."
He explained the principles of printing.
Cai Jing listened attentively, and the more carefully he listened, the more shocked he was.
Until the end, I was stunned with surprise.
I was even more shocked than when I heard about the imperial examination system that day.
If we say that the single imperial examination system can only have an impact on aristocratic families.
Then, the imperial examination system combined with movable type printing could completely deal a devastating blow to the aristocratic families.
What has enabled the aristocratic family to exist for such a long time?
It’s because the aristocratic families hold the lifeline of knowledge!
The most expensive and most lasting thing in this world is culture, which also includes science.
Apart from this, the rest of the wealth is not worth mentioning in front of it.
Now, there is movable type printing.
Daqin could then print books in large quantities.
By then, when everyone in the world can read, won’t the so-called aristocratic families collapse on their own?
How many generations can they prosper after they lose the culture on which they depend for survival?
Three generations at most.
"His Majesty!"
Cai Jing bowed deeply with excitement and said, "On behalf of all the scholars of the future generations, I thank Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Ying Yuan smiled and said, "My dear, there is no need to do this. It is only natural for me to do this."
He didn't have the complicated thoughts that Cai Jing had.
His only wish now is to quickly implement the imperial examination system throughout the country.
To be honest, as for Bi Sheng, Ying Yuan wanted to use him.
In previous history, Bi Sheng did not serve as an official in the court.
Now that the job of printing books is given to him, we hope that he can make the best use of it.
In other words, no matter how you look at it, Bi Sheng seems to be a capable minister with a special skill.
Ying Yuan’s current situation is that, regardless of whether he is a loyal or treacherous minister, as long as he can help him to defeat his country, he is a good minister.
Asking Bi Sheng to print books just happened to be in line with his interests.
By then, he would surely work hard to print books.
In this way, the rise of official schools is not far away.
"Your Majesty is benevolent, wise, and truly an emperor of all ages!"
Cai Jing said with sincere admiration.
Ying Yuan felt a little offended when he heard his flattery.
But none of this matters.
Not long after, Bi Sheng came in front of Ying Yuan.
This was the first time he met the emperor.
Even though he had printed books for the imperial court, he was, after all, just a poor man.
How could a poor person dare to dream of meeting the emperor?
Now, I see it so realistically.
Bi Sheng was so excited that his whole body was trembling. When he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor, he even stuttered.
"I...I...I bow to you..."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Let's forget about the formalities. I heard you're good at printing books. Do you know what this thing is?"
The next moment.
Bi Sheng looked where the emperor was pointing.
There was movable type printing.
When he saw those things, Bi Sheng felt inexplicably excited.
He said tremblingly, "This thing...this thing...seems to be related to printed books?"
Hearing this, Ying Yuan laughed and said, "Indeed, this thing is called movable type printing. I intend to teach you this technique. From now on, you will print all kinds of books for the court. How about that?"
The previous test has confirmed that Bi Sheng in this world has not yet invented movable type printing.
As soon as the words fell.
Bi Sheng was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
Movable Type Printing...
Teach yourself...
From now on, you will only print books for the court?
These things, mixed together, suddenly made Bi Sheng feel flattered and he didn't know what to do.
After a pause, he followed Cai Jing's instructions and kowtowed like a wooden chicken, saying, "I...I accept your command and thank you!"
Bi Sheng was really excited.
He could do nothing but print books and love to print books.
