Chapter 413 Movable type printing technology

"Your Majesty trusts you so much?" Gu Qingling was a little surprised. Didn't it say that the ancient royal family was ruthless and had no real feelings?

Why did Emperor Mingguang trust him so much in Li Wenchong's mouth?

"Isn't this normal? I am the elder brother's brother!" He would not leave any offspring, so why would he rebel?

His emperor brother is not stupid.

But wait, what if Gu Qingling leaves him a son and a half of his daughter in the future?

...

Forget it, let's talk about it then.

This matter has not been decided yet.

Even if you have children, you may not be a son.

In the next room, Master Yao Jiu sneezes: "A Qiu——"

Shu Su, the maid who was serving next to him, came over quickly, touched his little hands and back, and determined whether he caught a cold.

"Young Master Jiu, aren't you cold?" Even with the answer in my heart, the eldest maid Su Shu also treated Master Yao Jiu as a big child as the instructions of the old lady Gu Qingling and asked.

Master Yao Jiu shook his head and continued to play with the building blocks in front of him.

This set of toys was newly designed. According to his progress, Gu Qingling asked someone to readjust the difficulty and designed a house.

What Yao Jiuye wants to do now is to take the building blocks and place the house according to the design drawings of the toys.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Lingquan. Master Yao Jiu is not only serious about his work, but also very smart. He is able to build a simple little house.

Of course, it is not ruled out that every time he finishes it, he will receive positive feedback from adults - everyone praises him for doing a great job and even sends a little red flower.

Even if Master Yao Jiu didn’t understand it at first, once or twice, he could get a bowl of particularly delicious cake by saving a certain amount of red flowers.

The greedy Master Yao Jiu didn't miss the delicious food. He waved his little arm and started to work hard.

-------------------------------------

Gu Qingling didn't know if Emperor Mingguang really believed him as Li Wenchong said, "Then your Majesty knows what you and me do?"

Li Wenchong was stunned. How could he have the nerve to tell his brother about such an embarrassing matter?

Could it be that he wanted to tell his brother that he had been drugged and accidentally "slept" a woman who could be a damn woman?!

Oh My God!

His emperor brother must laugh to death.

Gu Qingling guessed something when he saw his expression and said, "So, Your Majesty doesn't know? Then... you said you want to marry me? Are you sure, your emperor knows it, will you agree to me pass by? The emperor is angry and blood flows like a river. You won't want the Yao family..."

"No, don't get me wrong." Li Wenchong quickly denied, "I don't want my prince to know, isn't you not agree yet? If you agree, I will definitely tell my prince."

"You are a prince, and you don't marry a daughter from a noble family in the capital. If you marry me an old lady who has ever married, will your brother agree to it? Or are you going to hide a sweetheart in the golden house?" Gu Qingling had never thought about what to promise him before, so she naturally didn't think about it.

But now that I can't talk about it now, why does she feel that it's not right?

So, where did he think he was very "sincere" and that she would believe him?

"As long as I want, my prince will definitely agree." Li Wenchong was very sure, "I had never been married before, and my prince was anxious. Now I finally got news. As long as I am not a man, he will agree..."

If you marry a man, it will hinder your reputation.

Emperor Mingguang didn't mind him having fun in private, but he certainly didn't want this kind of thing to spread.

In comparison, he just married an older woman, at most people said that he had "a strange habit of being a person". Because he had been "single" for so many years, his emperor brother could tolerate it.

The more Li Wenchong said this, the more strange Gu Qingling felt that according to normal logic, which emperor would tolerate his younger brother marrying an old woman who could be a damn woman?

What's more, Li Wenchong is also Emperor Mingguang's favorite younger brother.

Could it be that Emperor Mingguang doesn’t favor Li Wenchong so much?

No matter how suspicious he was, after exploring for a long time, Gu Qingling had confirmed one thing, that is, in order to marry her, Li Wenchong had quite a lot of room for concessions.

In this case, she shouldn't have much to pull him into "movable type printing" water?

He didn't talk nonsense to him anymore. Gu Qingling said that in fact, she came to see him today because she wanted to ask him for something, but I don't know if she would agree.

She reassured Li Wenchong that this matter was not all bad. If it was done well, it would be good for him.

"What's up?"

"Mr. Qian is your person, right?"

"Well, didn't you know it long ago?"

Gu Qingling said: "Then you should also know that I have a bookstore, and there are a group of craftsmen in it."

Li Wenchong nodded.

Mr. Qian has imported a lot of books from the Yao family’s bookstore, and he has made all his purpose.

Some of the interesting things were placed, he also placed an order, picked up some, and sent them back to Beijing for his nephews and nieces.

"When these craftsmen were printing books, they accidentally made something that could make printing books easier." Gu Qingling said, "I plan to give him to the court when Dalang goes to Beijing for the imperial examination next year."

Li Wenchong didn't react for a moment: "Isn't it a good thing to make printing books easier? It just so happens that your bookstore prints books quickly and can be used as a family heirloom and passed on to the next generation..."

Li Wenchong really didn't think much about it. He didn't touch the business of printing books, but Mr. Qian also had a bookstore under his name, so he heard a little about the fact that major families had their own way of printing books.

Which company has such a labor-saving way of printing books without hiding them and wants to pass them on to the next generation?

But Gu Qingling actually said she wanted to hand it over to the court?

"You are not going to go for invention awards and patent fees, right? However, there are all family members of the printing books. Even if you hand them over to the court and no one buys them, you won't be able to earn much patent fees."

"Even if the emperor will give some rewards, that little money is not as good as you earn by buying books yourself."

...

Obviously, Li Wenchong's words underestimated the "movable type printing technique" in Gu Qingling's hands.

Nowadays, people are using woodblock printing technology. If you want to print an article, you have to carve a complete woodblock. The only difference is that all the woodblock materials, ink materials and paper materials are not a bit big.

Gu Qingling said that it could make printing books easier, but Li Wenchong also thought that it was just that he had discovered some better material or that he had improved the printing process.

Gu Qingling looked at him, her expression was predictive and stopped. She knew how much the impact of "movable type printing" was, but obviously the man in front of her was not very clear.

If he knew that he had not only improved paper and ink, but also "movable type printing technology", he could turn a book that was originally worth two silver into a few cents, so that everyone in the world could afford to read books, and he would be crazy.

Saint Confucius once said that there is no difference in teaching.

Unfortunately, the cost of reading is too high, and the right to reading is still in the hands of a small number of wealthy and powerful people.

For poor scholars, if you want to provide for a scholar, you have to give your whole family the best. Every day, every day, it may not be possible.

This is also the reason why there are many cold men in the world, but it is difficult to produce talents.

Once Gu Qingling's "movable type printing technique" is released, it will inevitably break the promotion channel for only the powerful and nobles to read, touch the interests of the powerful and nobles of major families, and thus...
