Chapter 342 Movable Type Printing
He turned around, picked up a book from the table and handed it over.
"Sir, take a look. Is the handwriting quite neat?"
Qin Zhenning took it and glanced at it.
"It's just okay. Average, but lacking in spirituality."
"If we mass-produce it according to these specifications, do you think those newly enlightened children will be able to understand it?"
"Of course, the handwriting is very neat."
"That's good!"
He picked up another set of seals without saying a word and picked up the movable type inside in several rows one by one. Qin Zhenning's eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
"Did you come up with this?"
"no."
"Of course it was my wife who came up with it!"
Jiang Wan honestly shook her head and didn't take credit for it, but with her wife sitting behind her, Li Chengxiu, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately opened his mouth and started to talk.
"Listen to me, my wife has an incredible brain, no one has ever seen one before or since!
At first, she saw me working so hard on reviewing memorials, and then she came up with the idea of carving a "read" stamp for me. I could just stamp it on any memorial, and hey, it would be done.
Later, we both felt that copying books was too troublesome, and our wrists ached from the fatigue of writing. My wife was just worried about me, but she spent many days thinking about it and finally came up with this living thing. No, what is it called?
It's no use if you don't have knowledge. You can't do anything except showing off. Look at how you can't even explain the story clearly. Old Qin and Old Jiang both snorted in their hearts, and then stared at their daughter with bright eyes.
Jiang Wan raised his hand and gently knocked on the seal box.
"This is movable type printing, which is quite different from ordinary rubbing. You see, each seal has a character on it. In the future, if you want to print a book, all you have to do is proofread, arrange the characters one by one, apply ink, and lay out the paper. Then you can quickly copy an article. That's how it's used. Let me show you how..."
"No, this method works!"
Qin Zhenning is an absolutely intelligent person. He can basically know the whole picture of some things with just one glance.
In fact, he has thought of more.
The existence of movable type printing was enough to change the current situation where knowledge was monopolized by aristocratic families. It was also enough to help his daughter win the reputation of a virtuous empress in history books.
He was so proud in his heart. Such a smart little girl is my daughter!
"Since Your Majesty has already come up with a foolproof plan, I will say no more. When I return today, I will set about collecting rare and famous seals. You can then send someone to retrieve them."
"good."
After the goal is achieved, the daily teaching will begin step by step. After all, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time, so don't rush.
Returning home at dusk, the Duke's mansion was filled with joy for everyone, young and old. After dinner, as the sky gradually darkened, Old Jiang was in the main courtyard, talking to his wife about how his eldest daughter was a truly talented person.
"Looks like me. I have to say that the girl I raised looks just like me! She's got a smart brain, and every blink of an eye is full of ideas. Hahahahaha!"
Jiang Huailiang was so proud of himself.
"Old Qin said our eldest daughter will definitely go down in history. Do I need him to tell me? Don't I know it myself? The eldest daughter of our Jiang family should be able to bring peace to the world with her pen and to rule the world with her martial arts!"
There was also a smile in Xu's eyes.
"Our youngest sister looks just like my sister. You don't know that my sister is actually quite smart. She..."
"I know your sister Xu Ruojin is great in every way. You've been saying this for half your life, so how could I not know it?"
Old Jiang had long since accepted the fact that his wife had never loved anyone else in her life but her sister.
He sighed and brought up another topic.
"Speaking of the one who looks most like your sister, why do I feel like she looks more like our second daughter? She's so frustrated with her relationship life, I'm so worried that I even sleep with my eyes half open at night. Sigh!"
"What happened?"
Knowing her husband's temperament very well, Mrs. Xu almost immediately understood the deeper meaning behind his words.
"It's not a big deal. I'll tell you in detail, but don't worry."
"Don't hesitate, speak!"
"Now, this is the situation..."
After giving a brief account of what had happened in the palace, Xu's eyes were tinged with anger.
"How can this be possible!"
"Look, I told you not to be anxious, but you're anxious again. It's not like there's no solution to this problem now. We just need to deal with it carefully. Anger is harmful to your health, my wife."
"That's not the reason. I'm angry because that kid from the Ji family was so rude that he actually came to my doorstep!"
"What did he do again?"
Old Jiang's beard twitched, his eyes glazed, and a hint of ferocity inexplicably took on his dignified face. Xu looked at him and pointed in the direction of her stable.
"Around the hour of Yin today, guards from the Ji Mansion drove over. They claimed to be following Ji Yunzhi's orders to return the carriage left behind by the Jiang family yesterday."
"But there was a quarrel at the door?"
"No, the doorman, Old Zhang, was very perceptive and immediately had a servant take the carriage and rush to the stables. The guard ran away after delivering the carriage, and I got angry for nothing."
"I understand. I'll go find that old bastard Ji Xun and get this back. His son wants to ruin my daughter's reputation, so I definitely won't let his Ji family have any good results."
After comforting his daughter-in-law with a few words, he brought up the old topic again.
"Why don't you talk to our second daughter nicely? If it's time to get engaged, then it should be done. I don't know who is plotting to set her up, so let's just cut off the source of the trouble."
"Master Qin said that?"
"That's what our eldest girl meant. The emperor even said directly that no matter who the second girl chooses, he can immediately issue an imperial decree to grant her marriage."
"Okay, I'll go over and tell her in detail. You've been out here all day and it's really tiring. You can rest first and don't have to wait for me."
"Okay, ask Ziyu and the others to bring more lanterns. It's dark now and we can't see clearly on the road."
"knew."
Xu came all the way to her daughter's Chunyun Garden.
Jiang Han was busy copying the finally completed record of the visit car improvement. When he heard the maid at the door greeting him, he quickly put down his pen and stood up to greet her.
"Mother, it's dark outside and windy. Why are you here? If there's anything, send someone to let me know and call me over."
"It's nothing serious. It's still early, so I just wanted to come and see you."
"You must have something to say, just say it directly! We are mother and daughter, why beat around the bush?"
The maids stood outside the door very politely, so Jiang Han had to personally help his mother sit down on the chair.
"Go ahead, I'm listening!"
Since her daughter spoke quickly, her mother didn't want to waste time and asked directly.
"Sister Han, are you still thinking about Guo Ziqian?"
"How is that possible?"
Jiang Han didn't know what wrong behavior he had done to give his mother such an illusion.
