At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 299 Movable Type Printing

"Library? Okay, let's go to the library," Li Wu also guessed that they wanted to go to the library. If it were someone else, they would certainly want to go to the library too.

So many books were too tempting for the ancients.

Of course, there are still many people who would not choose a library. After all, many ancient people could not read. How could they choose a library if they could not read?

When the five people heard Li Wu's agreement, they all smiled sincerely.

The sheer number of books in the little immortal’s previous study was enough to shock them.

I think there must be more books in that library. They can't wait to go there and read them now. There must be many more books from later generations.

That’s more than the royal collection of books.

"Little immortal, when are we going? This library must have a lot of books. How many books are there?" Sun Simiao was so excited.

"Little immortal, there are so many books here. I'm sure there must be even more books in the library," said Li Shizhen.

Li Wu nodded and said, "Of course, no less than a lot. I only have a few books. Large libraries usually have tens of millions of books."

"What, what!" Five people showed the same shocked expression.

Everyone in front of the sky curtain was stunned, even the illiterate people were shocked.

Although the common people could not read, they knew books, and this book alone would cost their family several months' food expenses.

How much would these tens of millions of books cost?

The people don’t know, but they know without thinking that it must be a very, very large amount of money.

Barrage

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: I thought my collection of books was large enough, but I never imagined that a library in later generations would have so many books. Little immortal, have you put all the books in the country there?

Otherwise, how could there be so many books?

Qianlong was very confident. He had a huge collection of books. It could be said that no emperor before him had a larger collection of books than him. Qianlong was so confident. As a result, when the immortal said that a small library had tens of millions of books, he could hardly believe it.

Although the later generations are indeed very powerful, there can't be so many books published, right?

Yi'an Jushi Li Qingzhao: It's not fair that you have so many books. The last time I went there, you never suggested going to the library.

This made Li Qingzhao feel overwhelmed. There were so many books, but she didn't read any of them.

Not only Li Qingzhao, but also many other literati posted on the barrage that if they had the chance next time, they would like the fairy to take them to the library to read books, and they could read for a whole day, no, more than one day.

It can take several days, and they are willing to watch them all the time.

Sky

"Little, little immortal, you, you are not, are you deceiving us? How can there be so many books?" Hua Tuo's voice was trembling a little, especially since he was still living in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, books were very precious, and paper was even more precious.

Although printing technology was invented, it was still a rubbing method, which was not only troublesome but also inconvenient.

"Little immortal, even if there was movable type printing, it would be impossible to have so many books. How did people in later generations do it?" Li Shizhen asked. He was born in the later dynasties, and the natural conditions were much better than those in the earlier dynasties.

"This, in later generations, is mostly done by machines, but I don't know much about this. Anyway, we have no shortage of books or paper in later generations." Indeed, there is no shortage, and they are used very, very much. There are so many students in the country, which takes up most of the paper resources.

"The future generations are so enviable," Dong Feng exclaimed, and the other four had the same expression.

"What is this movable type printing?" Zhang Zhongjing smelled something good. He had a vague feeling that this movable type printing must be different. It seemed to have appeared on the rotating disk before the little fairy.

He thought it was something that only existed in later generations, but he never imagined that it existed in the Ming Dynasty?

Sure enough, they don't have anything good up front!!!

"Little fairy, is this possible?" Li Shizhen looked at Li Wu and asked her if she could say it.

Li Wu smiled and said, "Of course you can. But this is not mine. It was invented by Senior Bi Sheng during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty. If Senior Bi Sheng is willing to share it, I have no objection," Li Wu smiled. These good things were all invented by our ancestors, and they are just taking advantage of being born in later generations.

Bi Sheng himself was still silly. He felt that the little immortal was calling his name, but at the same time he felt that it was not, because after all, he was just an ordinary person.

Besides, there are so many people with the same name and surname. However, he didn’t know who Song Renzong was. What he could guess was that he must be the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

The barrage is full of @Bi Sheng, I want him to come out and say something.

Bi Sheng just posted a barrage, and it turns out that he was really talking about him!

Of course I agreed. How could I not agree?

"Senior Li Shizhen and Senior Bi Sheng said they were willing to share their movable type printing technology so that more people can know about it," Li Wu was deeply moved. Our ancestors were so selfless.

"We have to thank Senior Bi Sheng for this. Because of your invention, we have so many more books." If it weren't for the movable type printing technology, how could they have so many books.

In the past, books were copied by hand. A thin book would take several days to copy, and a thick one might take a month or two.

"It is better for you, the little immortal, to explain this," said Li Shizhen. Although he knew about movable type printing, he just couldn't explain it and was not good at expressing himself.

"Okay, I say, everyone should remember this well.

This movable type printing technology is very simple. Everyone is familiar with seals, right? Many people have them, right?

Just think about it, as long as the seal is engraved with reverse words, it will become normal words after printing. What if it is made into many small seals?

Just carve some frequently used words on it, arrange them in a layout, apply ink on them, and then print them directly on paper, isn't that it?

Of course, this thing can’t be used as a seal, because that would be very expensive, right? I think everyone should understand it after this explanation. If you are still not sure, you can ask Senior Bi Sheng. "Li Wu felt that as long as he gave a hint, the ancients would be able to guess it.

There were many smart people in ancient times.

Many people in front of the sky were sure to understand after hearing what the little immortal said.

Especially Li Si himself, he was the one who engraved the imperial seal for Qin Shihuang, how could he not do this.

It turns out that movable type printing is so simple, why didn't they think of it before?

I use seals every day, but I have never thought about this.

But it’s not too late to know now.

"Hiss, this, little immortal, this, this method, hahaha, good, good, we never thought that this younger generation of Bi Sheng is really good, not bad," Sun Simiao laughed, stroking his beard.

"Little immortal, wine," Hua Tuo said. He was quite fond of drinking.

"Of course we have prepared it, but I also know that several seniors, except for Senior Hua Tuo who likes to drink, don't drink much," Li Wu said with a smile. It may be because they are doctors, even if they drink, it is just a small drink.
