Chapter 86 Planting a Seed

Eight or nine hundred people were stuffed in the Zhang family at once, and the originally empty and deserted Zhang family suddenly became crowded and lively.

Fortunately, the Zhang family’s house is big enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and it is not a problem to have eight or nine hundred people more, and it can be stuffed even if you squeeze it.

Of course, this is also because the orphans are relatively young, so there is no problem with stuffing three or four children into one bed.

The next day, Zhang Junping came to the bookstore. Bi Sheng had already settled down and was already waiting in the bookstore.

"Bi Dajiang, have you settled in the place where you live?" Zhang Junping took Bi Sheng's hand and asked kindly.

"Thank you for your concern! We have all settled down!" Bi Sheng replied respectfully.

Zhang Junping smiled again and said, "Bi Dajiang can write a letter to take all his family members over. Don't worry, butler Lu will do it for you!"

"Thank you, my boss, there is no hurry to pick up the family, let's start working!

I wonder what kind of books I want to print?”

"No need to worry about printing any kind of books, Bi Dajiang, come and see..." Zhang Junping took out more than a dozen seals he had carved himself from his body.

It is glued to Indonesia and printed one by one on rice paper. Through different combinations, a poem appears on rice paper.

Spring water is full of spring ponds, and spring grass grows in spring.

Spring people drink spring wine, and spring birds play with the sound of spring.

"Good poems, what a good poem! In just twenty words, they describe the interests of spring to the fullest!" One of Bi Sheng's junior brothers praised next to him.

Bi Sheng stared at Zhang Junping's four-line poem printed on rice paper and thoughtfully.

"Bi Dajiang, what did you think of?" Zhang Junping looked at Bi Sheng and asked with a smile.

"Boss, is this... the dull old man who redeems the stupidity of his young man. Do you want to use this method to print books?" Bi Sheng is indeed a big shot who invented the movable type printing technique. He can understand Zhang Junping's meaning at a glance.

At that time, Bi Sheng saw his children and grandchildren playing houses, making pots, bowls, tables, chairs, pigs, and people using mud to line up as they please. So he had an idea. If he carved a single-character seal with mud, he could arrange it at will and arrange it into articles? After some careful research, he finally invented the clay movable type printing technique.

"Yes!" Zhang Junping clapped his high-high: "Our current woodblock printing is too difficult and expensive, and the woodblock printing is not easy to preserve. If you use wood, iron, tin, lead, copper and other items to carve into Chinese characters, what books and articles you want to print, as long as you arrange these characters in order, will it be much simpler?" Zhang Junping continued to inspire.

"The boss's method is so good! It's so coincidental!

In the past, we printed more than 5,000 volumes of the Tripitaka and carved 130,000 wooden boards. We couldn’t even fit a room, and it took countless years to complete it! If we use the boss’s method, it will take only a few months to complete it.” Bi Sheng’s eyes became brighter and he praised him with high fives.

"Bi Dajiang, I just put forward a small suggestion. In order to make this method a reality and realize this type of movable type printing, it depends on Bi Dajiang and all the craftsmen to carefully study it!"

"Boss, with this idea, the next work is not difficult, there are always more ways than difficulties!

More than a dozen of us brothers have learned carvings since childhood. We have worked in this industry for decades, and we still have some experience!

But please rest assured, leave this matter to us, and we will definitely study movable type printing!" Bi Sheng confidently patted his chest and assured.

"In this way, I'll have to worry about Bi Dajiang. As long as I need it, I will directly find Butler Lu!

Lu Bo, Lu Boduo has to worry about it. No matter what Bi Dajiang needs, whether it is in life or research on movable type printing needs, he must try his best to meet it!"

"Here!" Zhang Lu agreed loudly.

"Don't worry, the old man will do his best to try his best to print this movable type one day earlier!" Bi Sheng promised again.

"I'm sorry, Master Bi!" Zhang Junping bowed and bowed.

"I dare not, I dare not. My boss has saved us and treated us so well. Now he has put forward such an ingenious idea. Once movable type printing is studied, it will be a blessing for scholars all over the world and also for us carving craftsmen!" Bi Sheng hurriedly replied.

There is a saying that Bi Sheng was wrong. movable type printing is a blessing for scholars, but it is not a blessing for carving craftsmen.

Nowadays, the status of carving craftsmen is relatively high because cultural heritage cannot be separated from these carving craftsmen.

However, once movable type printing is invented, the status of the engraving craftsman will definitely be greatly reduced.

This is also the previous time and space. Bi Sheng's invention of movable type printing technology has not been promoted. It is not that the government and courts have no idea of ​​things, but that the yamen responsible for managing craftsmen saw the benefits of movable type printing technology and also saw the adverse impact of movable type printing technology on carving craftsmen, so it was not promoted.

It was recorded by Shen Kuo in "Mengxi Bitan" and it did not gradually become popular until the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

After handing over the research and development of movable type printing technology to the original inventor Bi Sheng, Zhang Junping no longer worried and was busy with his own affairs every day.

In the following days, Zhang Junping's life became very fulfilling.

Every day, I went to Qingning Palace at the fifth day, accompanied Zhao Zhen to run, do aerobics, practice Taizu Changquan, and after breakfast, I went home to teach three hundred karma Dings three-body stakes, and then went to the academy to teach the children's martial arts and swordsmanship.

These two housekeepers are reliable and powerful, otherwise Zhang Junping would have to be so busy that he was dizzy.

The two housekeepers, one in charge of the inner and the other in charge of the outer, managed the inside and outside of the house in an orderly manner, which saved Zhang Junping a lot of worry.

Outside, Zhang Lu supervised the construction of the winery, the construction of barracks of 300 karmintons and 500 orphans, and the development of movable type printing technology in the bookstore.

At home, Zhang Fu managed the affairs of all sizes in the mansion and asked the doctor to check the five hundred orphans and regulate them.

These orphans have some injuries on them. Even if they are not injured, they are all thin and weak. Without treatment, they will not be able to accept the subsequent strict military training.

In the eyes of the butler Zhang Fu, three hundred clans can only be regarded as a transition, and these five hundred orphans are the basis for the Zhang family in the next few decades.

He himself is an orphan adopted by the Zhang family. He has experience in how to raise orphans and raises them with delicious food and drink every day. However, every morning and evening, during meals, the old man and the old woman who care for them would whisper in their ears that it was the Zhang family who adopted them, gave them clothes, gave them food, and treated them. They would teach them the skills in the future. They must be grateful and repay the Zhang family when they grow up.

If you repeat a lie ten thousand times, it will become the truth, not to mention that these are real.
