As soon as he left the room, Gao Xunzhi clenched his fists tightly. He knew it.
It must be the credit of Daojun that he was able to cultivate such a knowledgeable and intelligent disciple!
The fact that A Rong knows about Taoist gods that no one else knows about is enough to prove this point!
Go, go quickly. He had to go back and burn incense. Firstly, he wanted to apologize to Emperor Wenchang for never having heard of his name. Secondly, he wanted to thank Daojun for sending such a powerful general to their Zhenbei Army.
Ever since Xiao Rong took out the map and marked that Pingcheng had coal, Gao Xunzhi actually had a vague idea in mind, and now, his idea was completely firm.
As expected... Ah Rong has a miraculous power. Whoever gets Ah Rong can get the world! ! ! ＊...
Xiao Rong felt quite disappointed when he saw Gao Xunzhi leaving.
Because Gao Xunzhi had been discussing the book collection with him for a long time, and he had not shown any surprise or curiosity about carving books on wooden boards. ...This is printing!
Printing, one of the four great inventions, can make the civilization level of the entire Central Plains achieve a qualitative leap!
It is impossible to find out who invented printing, and it is impossible to find a real inventor. After all, anyone could have a sudden idea to carve words. In ancient times when information was blocked, it is possible that several people did this at the same time, but they just didn't spread it.
The earliest prototype of printing was rubbing, or printmaking. Until now, rubbing is still an artistic activity that people use to entertain themselves in their spare time, but it is limited to wealthy families who are not short of money and do not think of selling these paintings.
In fact, Xiao Rong didn't know whether there was printing technology at that time. The time when printing technology was truly recorded as coming out was about the same time as the Taoist "Daozang" appeared. Oh yes, there is a small premise. It was also during this period that the aristocratic families were completely shattered, so thousands of new things emerged among the people like mushrooms after a rain. The famous food, clothing, housing and transportation utensils in later generations basically became household names at that time.
The Daozang is a collection of Taoist works. In fact, those books exist today, but they are hidden and not brought out. The printing technology may have already appeared, but it is still hidden and not brought out.
In the past, although Xiao Rong knew that the noble families were too much, he did not have too many emotions towards them until he found that no matter what plan he made, he would encounter these obstacles. Every step he took, there were people in front of him blocking him, pushing him, and asking him to go back. So now when he heard these two words, he had the urge to grind his teeth.
Therefore, he didn't care whether Gao Xunzhi agreed or not! He just wanted to do it. He wanted to repeatedly test the edge of the bottom line of the aristocratic families, and then work hard to develop himself. He didn't even have to wait until the Zhenbei Army surpassed the aristocratic families. As long as the two sides were equal in level, he would kick over the bottom line of the aristocratic families and officially declare war on them.
And these engravings were the vanguard of his declaration of war.
The ten people were still working hard at carving the wooden board. Xiao Rong looked at them kindly, as if he had seen through their hands the scene of the future noble families jumping up and down in anger.
The ten busy people: "..."
Strange, why do I feel a chill down my spine? ...
As for why we use woodblock printing instead of movable type…
In fact, movable type printing has never been truly popularized. It is not because someone is blocking it, but because the cost is too high and it is really impractical. Copper and iron are too expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Only the royal family can make a movable type frame for fun. The current Zhenbei Army is similar to those later private shopkeepers. They have to live frugally, so they still use woodblocks first.
In the end, eight of the ten were retained, and the remaining two were not completely hopeless. Xiao Rong asked them to go back and study hard, and he would assess their carving skills after he returned from Jinling.
The two men didn't want to carve any wooden boards at all, but they didn't dare to disobey Xiao Rong's orders, and finally they could only go back in despair.
Xiao Rong checked the works of the other eight people, and then took the best one to find Fuzi.
That day, Fuzi was hurt by Qu Yunmie's words. Although Gao Xunzhi told him that Fuzi didn't take it to heart, Xiao Rong didn't believe it. Even if the other person really didn't take it to heart, he had to show this attitude. Since Qu Yunmie would never go to Fuzi to apologize, he had to do it himself.
However, when he arrived at Mi Jing's residence, Mi Jing learned of his purpose and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, Master Xiao, for treating Mi Jing so well. But the king came the day before yesterday and we had a very pleasant conversation. The king also explained to Mi Jing about his unintentional words that day. Mi Jing was grateful for this and gained some new insights into Buddhism."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He was shocked and asked, "Did the king apologize to you?"
Mi Jing was silent for a moment, and corrected him tactfully: "Explain to me why he said such angry words that day."
Isn't that the same as an apology?
In Qu Yunmie's world, explanation is equal to apology!
Xiao Rong was so shocked that he was in a trance. It was already very rare that Qu Yunmie would apologize, and he actually apologized to Mi Jing, the person he hated the most. What kind of miracle was this in a thousand years!
Suddenly, Xiao Rong remembered something, and he asked Mi Jing: "When did the king come to you?"
Mi Jing replied, "Two quarters before yesterday at noon."
Xiao Rong: “…”
On the morning when he got up late, he asked Qu Yunmie where he had been, but Qu Yunmie turned the tables and accused him of meddling in his private affairs.
Xiao Rong was speechless. No wonder he avoided the question. It turned out that he came here secretly to apologize and didn't want others to know.
A little unhappy, but also a little wanting to laugh, Xiao Rong finally lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his head again and said to Mi Jing in a spring breeze: "The Buddhist son and the king have not known each other for a long time, and perhaps he does not know how rare it is for the king to do this. This shows how important the Buddhist son is in the king's heart."
Mi Jing looked at Xiao Rong silently, and Xiao Rong looked at him with a smile, not caring at all about what he said.
Mi Jing blinked, and after a moment, he also laughed. This smile was a little ostentatious, which did not quite match Mi Jing's usually introverted personality.
Xiao Rong couldn't help but sit up straighter, not even pretending anymore, which meant he was going to reveal his cards.
