Bi Sheng is very awesome.
It only took one day to master the movable type printing technique.
Now, he is printing the first book in the imperial city.
In fact, the difference between movable type printing and ordinary printing lies in its long-lasting, durable and fast nature.
The latter can generally only print one book.
The former can be printed in multiple copies without any problems.
Therefore, if only one copy is printed, it is difficult to uncover the secrets of movable type printing.
But after all, it is the first book printed using this printing technique, so it must be of epoch-making significance.
This day.
Ying Yuan, the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers, the four generals, the historian, and even the queen Daji all came to the room where Bi Sheng was printing books.
They all wanted to witness this epoch-making scene with their own eyes.
Everyone's heartstrings were tense.
Just yesterday.
Cai Jing had already told the secrets of movable type printing to all the ministers.
He wasn't worried that the news would get out.
Because they are all central ministers of the court, they know what they can say to others and what they cannot say to others.
Although there are shadows of aristocratic families behind them.
The invention of movable type printing may actually affect the interests of the aristocratic families.
However, they still would not tell those aristocratic families about such a confidential matter.
All I can say is that before Ying Yuan decided to announce this news, he should inform those wealthy people who supported him behind the scenes.
Because they are first and foremost subjects, and only then are they the people in charge in the court appointed by the aristocratic families.
What's more, Cai Jing believed that he would not dare to deceive them about such a big matter.
If movable type printing could really be successful.
Then, it is a great event worthy of celebration by the whole world.
About an hour later.
The door to printing books was slowly opened by Bi Sheng.
Then, he pulled out a brand new thread-bound book from his arms, held it in both hands, walked to Ying Yuan, knelt on both knees and said, "Your Majesty, the book is finished!"
When he uttered the last three words.
Everyone seemed to be excited, and then they all bowed to Ying Yuan and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
With this movable type printing technology, it is equivalent to holding a magical weapon in hand, which can continuously supply talents to the country.
This is a blessing for scholars!
It is also a blessing for people all over the world!
Then, Cai Jing said excitedly, "Your Majesty, with this printing technology, the Qin Dynasty has hope for a revival!"
He Shen quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, an emperor of all ages!"
“…”
Hearing their voices, Ying Yuan couldn't help but sneer.
The moment the imperial examination system is implemented throughout the country, you will know what difficulties and obstacles the Qin Dynasty will encounter.
"Bi Sheng, no matter how many men or how much money you need, just go to the inner chambers... go to the treasury and I will grant you the request.
I only want you to hurry up and print books, including the Four Books and Five Classics, and the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Do you... understand?"
As soon as Ying Yuan finished speaking.
Bi Sheng bowed solemnly and said, "I, a humble servant, will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Seeing this, Ying Yuan nodded.
As for the first book printed using movable type, he listened to Cai Jing's advice and placed it in the Taimiao.
He did not object to this matter, as it would not help the country's strength anyway.
However, this scene was considered by others to be an attitude and determination of the court to establish official schools, and was politically correct.
Many years later.
A reporter visited the Taimiao of the Qin Dynasty and saw the first book printed using movable type printing - "The Book of the Human Emperor" (more than 20 years ago).
In other words, the book printed by Bi Sheng was actually a record by the historian of the true story of Ying Yuan from his birth to his journey across the world and the creation of movable type printing.
Of course, this was done by Cai Jing, who handed over the historical records to Bi Sheng.
At the beginning, that book only had the two words "Benji".
When Ying Yuan's child succeeded to the throne as emperor, the words "Human Emperor" were added at the beginning of this chronicle.
It was from that book that later generations slowly uncovered the prologue to Ying Yuan's legendary life.
......
On the way back to Xuan Zheng Hall, Ying Yuan kept talking about the wonders of movable type printing.
In his words, he seemed to want to praise the former to the sky.
It seems to be saying that movable type printing is a blessing for scholars all over the world. With this technology, countless children from poor families will be able to study.
Of course, this is true.
"Your Majesty, movable type printing is undoubtedly a national treasure.
I am worried that if this technique spreads to other countries, it will bring disaster to our Great Qin."
After the flattery, Daji said worriedly.
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if it spreads to other countries, it won't matter."
If this could bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty, it would be a rare opportunity!
However, he never expected that Cai Jing had already taken a complete set of confidentiality measures.
In the short term, the news about movable type printing will not spread.
Moreover, the people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot are not pushovers either.
Although Ying Yuan did not instruct Cai Jing to keep the matter secret.
However, as the prime minister, he believed that everything required the emperor's orders.
Then he, as a minister, would be a complete failure.
Seeing Ying Yuan's confident look, Daji felt relieved.
