Daqin: Zulong Asked Me to Be the Prince

Chapter 258



Chapter 258 Every1 Is Like A Dragon! Every1 Can Write A Biography! (15)

Mo Wu received the order, and Ma Liu picked up the pieces of movable type and began to arrange and combine them according to the original text of “Sun Tzu’s Art of War” on the side.

Because ancient books did not need punctuation marks, he assembled them very quickly, and in just a while, he was already arranging the typeface.

Those movable characters are all “Yangwen”, that is, mirrored characters.

Brush two layers of ink evenly on these yangwen, and then cover the paper as thin as a cicada’s wings firmly!

Finally, press the paper with a thin slate to make it evenly stressed!

After a while, Mo Wu took the slate and carefully picked up the paper with the words on it.

“Look at the giant!”

Mo Wu offered treasures,

“This is “Sun Tzu’s Art of War: Strategy”! Take a look, are you satisfied with the effect?”

Qin Feng took the paper from him, just glanced at it, then smiled and nodded again and again—

The font of movable type is strong and upright, and the font is extremely clear, so the whole layout looks very refreshing and easy to read!

All the ink marks of the characters are very uniform, no one is light, and no one is dark!

If there is only a little flaw, it is only the ink is not dry, and it feels wet to the touch, but this is not a fault at all!

“Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, must be observed…”

Qin Feng said softly, laughing loudly,

“Good good! 35

“With this printing technique and papermaking technique, my Daqin no longer has to use cumbersome bamboo slips, and I no longer have to copy books word by word!

“The classics of all dynasties can be bound into a book with just a single print for people to read!

It is not without reason that these two technologies are listed as the four major inventions!

Their appearance has greatly reduced the cost of learning, made writing and reading countless times more convenient, and made it easier for the general public to access knowledge!

Originally, reading and writing were the powers only possessed by nobles, but even nobles actually possessed only some ancestral family learning, in fact, knowledge was still lacking.

People use “learning to be rich in five cars” to describe a person who is knowledgeable, but in fact, the five-car bamboo slips can’t carry much content at all!

A scholar who learned to be rich in five cars in the pre-Qin era may not even have the reading volume of a primary school student in later generations!

As for the poor?

The poor cannot afford even a single roll of bamboo slips, let alone learn to read.

The emergence of paper and printing will completely break this dilemma!

Think about it, the same five cars… If you change it to paper books, how many books does it have to hold?!

“Master, you are truly the number one ink craftsman in the world! Even if Mozi was alive, he would not be able to create such a miraculous thing!””

Mo Wen said excitedly,

“With these two things, bamboo slips can be eliminated!

“Big boy, I have a request!”

Qin Feng was in a very good mood, and immediately nodded: “If you have something to say, talk about it! What are you polite?”

“I want to print out the Patriarch’s Book of Ink, and let all Mohist disciples read it. Even if they can’t have a copy, they can borrow it freely!”

With deep excitement, Mo Wen suggested,

“Although we have absorbed a large number of craftsmen as peripheral disciples, but they only learn skills, but don’t learn the core ideas of my Momen, they can’t be regarded as real Mohist disciples!

“Previously, the bamboo slips were so precious that we could not pass them around to the disciples, but now with printing and paper, this problem has been completely solved!

“As long as all the craftsmen learn ink, even if they just look into it a little bit, our Momen will surely be able to come back to life!”

The more Mo Wen said, the more excited he became, because his own ultimate ideal was actually possible!

“Well, your proposal is good, I approve it! 35

Qin Feng nodded slightly and said,

“However, the length of the “Mojing” has to be selected, some things that are not suitable for this era, we must discard them! And the truly immortal parts, keep!

“Take the essence and get rid of the dross! 39

“There are some things, not that the patriarch was wrong, but that he was limited by the times and could not do anything about it. Since our younger generation wants to carry forward the Momen once again, we must make ideas and theories progress!

“Understand?

When Mo Wen and Mo Wen heard the words, they all looked solemn and said:

“Thank you for your teaching!”

Under the influence of Qin Feng, they are no longer the foolish inkers they once were, but flexible inkers!

Therefore, they are 100% convinced and obedient to the words of the giant!

“In addition, you can also write your own experience, or comment on the side of the “Mo Jing”, or directly write a book and make a biography!

Qin Feng pointed out again,

“Comment on the “Mo Jing”? Write a book and make a biography?

Mo Wen held his breath and said incredulously,

“I… how can we have the qualifications to write biography.”

“Only a giant has this qualification, we dare not, dare not…”

Annotating the classics of the ancestors is crazy enough! Still writing books and biography?

All the great figures in history, such as Mozi, Confucius, Laozi, and other top teachers have the qualifications to establish biography and founding schools!

In front of them, I’m just a junior with superficial knowledge! I haven’t learned all of it yet!

“Don’t underestimate yourself!”

Qin Feng criticized and said with a smile,

“The advent of paper and printing has lowered the difficulty of writing books by dozens of grades!

“In the future, everyone can write books and everyone can write biography!

“As Mohist masters, why are you unqualified?

“Think about it, what will you write in the future! 157 You are the first to get the moon, and then I will open a bookstore and a printing bureau. You can take this convenience and spread your theories all over the world! 99

Ink: “!!!””

Mo Wu: “!!!””

When Qin Feng said this, the passion in their hearts was completely ignited!

Write a book and make a biography! Publish it all over the world!

What a beautiful thing that is…

“However, eat one bite at a time. Now these two technologies are still in the preliminary stage, and you still have to improve the process.”5

Qin Feng exhorted,

“I want the paper to be smoother in texture and cleaner in color!”

“Furthermore, gather the rest of your disciples and make movable type as soon as possible with the usual words in the book!

“I ask you to print out a series of classics such as “Sun Tzu”, “Mo Tzu”, “Han Feizi”, “Tao Te Ching”, as well as the most important “Qin Law”. The number of this classic is no less than one thousand! 99

“When you do this, it will be time for me to open Daqin Bookstore and Daqin Printing Bureau!”

“clear?”

Mo Wen Mo Wu’s heart froze, and he was full of energy!!

“clear!”

They both said in unison.

ps: The previous reward is “block printing”, which is a clerical error, and the reward should be “movable type printing”.
