Seeing everyone's admiring gaze, Li Yang was quite proud.

However, Li Yang knew that although woodblock printing was awesome, movable type printing was actually a great technological revolution in the history of printing.

In fact, Li Yang wanted to invent movable type printing at the beginning, but because of the time not allowing, he finally chose to use woodblock printing temporarily.

In movable type printing, one-word positive and anti-text molds must be made first, which is much more troublesome than making carved plates. Moreover, when printing, the word molds of these single-word molds need to be arranged in the word plate. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive for printing textbooks that are the same thousands of times.

In addition, there is another condition for movable type printing, that is, printing workers must be able to read. This is also a flaw for the current Qin Dynasty.

Woodblock printing is different. It meets the printing needs of textbooks. A textbook requires 100,000 copies, so as long as a piece of woodblock is made, any worker can directly copy it repeatedly.

Li Yang calculated that the three textbooks had hundreds of pages, that is, hundreds of carved papers, and only a few hundred printing workers were required. Each worker printed 100,000 copies every day, and in three months, he would print 100,000 copies of the textbooks for each subject. Therefore, in the beginning of spring next year, it would be possible to ensure the smooth promotion of compulsory education.

Moreover, you can use these woodblocks to continue printing the first-grade textbooks you need next year, the year after, and the next few years. Therefore, when it comes to printing textbooks, woodblock printing is better than movable type printing.

For Li Yang, as long as the woodblock printing technology is invented, then the next movable type printing technology can be easily studied by just a little mention and the people of the Shaofu and others can easily study it. There is no need to worry about it yourself.

Therefore, Li Yang immediately said to He Zhang: "This kind of printing technique is called woodblock printing. The advantage is that it can be repeated countless times with just one woodblock. It is very simple, convenient and fast, and is suitable for large-scale book printing like textbooks."

Everyone nodded. They had seen how effective the woodblock printing technology was on printing textbooks, so they all said excitedly: "Grand printing technology is so talented. This kind of woodblock printing technology will surely shake the world like papermaking technology, and will have a profound impact on my Chinese culture. You can really be said to have immeasurable merits!"

For He Zhang and the others, this is not flattery, but the truth.

Because the current knowledge and culture are all copied by hand and preserved and disseminated.

This inevitably leads to the limited retention of knowledge and information, so it cannot be widely disseminated.

With this kind of woodblock printing technology, the retention of knowledge and materials will no longer be a problem in the future. As long as it is good knowledge, good materials, and good culture, it can be made into woodblocks and then printed in large quantities, which can greatly accelerate the dissemination of knowledge and culture.

I would like to ask, is there anything in this world that has more significance than this invention?

At this time, they finally understood why Li Yang had said before that printing has the same status as papermaking.

It seems that the Prime Minister of the Central Committee is really not lying.

Just when everyone admired Li Yang very much, Li Yang began to dislike woodblock printing and said, "In fact, woodblock printing also has its shortcomings."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Prime Minister of the Central Committee is the Prime Minister of the Central Committee. The role of woodblock printing is about to affect the world, but he is still not satisfied with this.

At this time, Li Yang heard: "When each piece of woodblock printing is fixed, you can only print the same piece of material. If you want to print other materials or books, you have to re-carve a new woodblock. Therefore, it is not flexible."

Xiao He said: "What's the matter? Just print other books and re-made the woodblock."

He Zhang and others also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is already the most advanced printing technology in the world. Why should adults be harsh? It is impossible, these carved plates can be freely changed to the text!"

Li Yang nodded: "You are right. In fact, I do know a more advanced printing technique, which can freely change words."

Ga!

Everyone staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Big... Sir, what did you say? You also have a printing technique that can freely change words!"

Suddenly, several people looked at Li Yang with shock, so shocked that they could not speak.

The woodblock printing technology is already enough to shock the world and will have a significant impact on Chinese culture. He actually said that he also knows a more advanced printing technology than this...

What a sin, is this guy still a human?

Xiao He and others suddenly felt inferior. Compared with Li Yang, they seemed to have become trash-like existences. Not to mention that they could keep up with other people's knowledge and wisdom, they could not even touch them.

Li Yang didn't know that these guys were abused, so he nodded and said, "I understand another kind of printing technique, called movable type printing technique."

"Mobile type printing?"

When everyone heard the name of the printing technology, they felt its height.

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, movable type printing technology is actually not complicated. It is to first make text molds one by one, then select the text molds needed according to the content that needs to be printed, arrange them in the plaque, and print them with ink. In this way, no matter what content you want to print, you can print flexibly. Is it more advanced than woodblock printing?"

After saying that, he looked up and saw that Xiao He and others looked at themselves as if they had seen a ghost.

Xiao He and others were really shocked!

They can no longer understand why Li Yang is so smart.

This is just inventing the woodblock printing technique, and then he came up with movable type printing technique. Moreover, the exquisiteness of this movable type printing technique is so amazing and inspiring. The movable type plate making just avoids the shortcomings of the woodblock. As long as you prepare enough single font molds in advance, you can imitate the plate at any time and print all the books you want to print!

OMG!

The Prime Minister is simply an unparalleled and unparalleled genius!

Everyone was attracted to the scene.

Li Youpraises: "Grandma is really a genius, with great wisdom and wonderful ideas. Any idea I think of is so earth-shaking and affecting the development of Chinese civilization. No word of praise in the world can be used to describe the talent of the great master. In short, the respect for the great master has always been like the surging water of the Yangtze River, continuous, and like the flood of the Yellow River, it is out of control."

Everyone nodded again: "We are the same."

Li Yang was speechless about this group of flattery.

He waved his hand and said, "There is no need to flatter you. Now the printing technology has told you. The printing of textbooks will be left to He Zhang, you are fully responsible for the printing of textbooks. Xiao He, the Education Department, will also help supervise it. Textbooks are important and cannot be mistaken."

"He Zhang, Xiao He and others immediately received the order.

After pondering for a while, Li Yang said again: "There is also movable type printing technology. He Zhang, you can study it slowly in the future. The font mold can be made of hardwood. If the font mold can be made of copper, it would be even better."

He Zhang looked excited: "When the craftsman completes the carved version of the textbook, the official will ask them to continue to try the movable type model."

Li Yang nodded. The movable type printing technique was actually not difficult. He believed that the Shaofu should be invented soon.

The printing matter was finally settled, and Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he waited for the carving board to be made and started printing...

"Prime Minister, I have found you! Your Majesty Zhangtai summoned you!"

Just as Li Yang was about to return to the prime minister's mansion, Liu Xi from the palace came over.

"Your Majesty is looking for me?" Li Yang was stunned.

Liu Xi nodded: "That's right, the Prime Minister, let me enter the palace! Your Majesty is waiting."

Li Yang said curiously: "I wonder what your Majesty is asking me for?"

Liu Xi shook his head: "I don't know this... I don't know about it."
