Cheng Chumo and his friends were waiting for their big eyes like copper bells, looking at the small square lead type in front of them, and asked with confusion: "That's it?"

They really don’t understand. Early in the morning, Su Cheng was eager to buy a printing workshop for this small lead block?

Yes, this small lead block can indeed print, but so what?

Isn't this possible to print characters?

Just this? Wang Shengnan and a group of craftsmen all looked at Cheng Chumo and the others blankly, as if they were looking at a stupid bear with a well-developed limbs and simple mind.

Cheng Chumo and the others scratched their heads in confusion and said, "What's wrong? What are your eyes?"

Su Cheng patiently explained: "This kind of lead type can be reused, and it is movable type. In the future, you can just find a combination of movable type to arrange it. In this way, you don't have to carve it every time like now, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. So with such lead type, it means that more books will be printed and the price will be cheaper."

It was so easy to understand. Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and others finally understood what the purpose of this lead type was, but they still didn't understand the meaning of it.

So what if you print more books? So what if you are cheap? Who would buy books? Who would be idle and read books?

So, Cheng Chumo and the others said in unison: "That's it!"

For a moment, even Su Cheng was speechless. These guys with developed limbs didn't understand the meaning of movable type printing at all. That was a real achievement that was famous in history.

It is of great significance to the development of civilization!

A guard hurriedly ran in and said anxiously: "Master, your descendant!"

Cheng Chumo was anxious when he heard this: "Look, even Your Majesty is here. Tell me, you are not going to the palace just because of such a small lead block. This is a bad thing. Your Majesty has come to settle the score with you!"

Li Chongyi repeatedly said, "What should I do? Su Cheng, you should be grateful to go out and admit your mistake!"

Su Cheng couldn't help but shrugging slightly after hearing this. He felt that Li Shimin was unlikely to be in person because he resisted the order. After all, the emperor was as busy as a dog all day.

He has resisted the order once or twice. I think the emperor is used to it, so it is impossible for him to come to settle the score with anger.

To take a step back, even if Empress Changsun’s aunt came and Li Shimin was a little irritated and wanted to settle the score with him, he should have asked Li Junxian to take him to the palace instead of the emperor’s presence.

So, Su Cheng immediately thought of another possibility. Li Shimin probably learned from the eunuch who sent the order that he wanted to improve printing technology, so he came here.

It can be seen that Li Shimin still has vision!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin still looked calm and composed, and smiled faintly: "Your descended and you are here, why are you panic?"

Cheng Chumo and the others were stunned when they heard this. His Majesty came to settle the score with you. You were still worried. What do you want to do? Do you want to go to heaven?

At this time, if you don’t hurry up and ask for guilt, you are still staying here freely, and you are not afraid that Your Majesty will beat you!

You can't sit still and watch Su Cheng be beaten by His Majesty, especially in front of the eldest daughter of the Wang family. Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin pulled Su Cheng out.

"What are you trying to pull me?" Su Cheng asked speechlessly.

What are you pulling you? Why did you pull you? Before Cheng Chumo and the others could speak, they saw a dark figure walking in.

Not only the emperor came, but also Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang and others, Cheng Chumo and others were stunned immediately. Why did the emperor come to Su Cheng to settle the score with so many important officials in the court?

And why are they all civil officials?

Do you want these important officials in the court to teach Su Cheng the etiquette in the court?

Wait a minute, it’s wrong. Look at the emperor’s face, he doesn’t look angry at all!

The emperor not only did not look angry at all, but also looked at Su Cheng with excitement.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others all looked at Su Cheng with their eyes shining.

Cheng Chumo and the others were all confused. What was going on?

Why is this different from what you expected?

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

...

"No gifts, no gifts, no gifts, no gifts!" Li Shimin waved his hand casually, but stared at Su Cheng without blinking.

"I heard you want to improve printing? Really?" Li Shimin asked impatiently.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "When you go back to your Majesty, I have a sudden idea of ​​improving printing technology. Because I am addicted to this, I was unable to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you. In fact, the minister who has made great contributions to the literature has made suggestions. Although everyone claims to be the number one talented man in the Tang Dynasty, my knowledge is far inferior to the great scholars in the court, so there is no need to participate in the affairs behind me!"

Li Shimin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you are busy improving printing technology. I have no consideration. How has your printing technology been improved? Have you succeeded?"

Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and the others were completely stunned. What was going on?

Can resistance to the order make His Majesty happy?

Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, it should be successful!"

"Success? Really successful?" Wei Zheng stepped forward with excitement and asked impatiently.

Su Cheng nodded with certainty and said, "It's indeed successful. If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself."

The craftsmen next to them printed them again with small lead blocks. Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others all surrounded him and stared at him with a burning look.

"Really, the words were printed!" Li Shimin said in surprise.

After Changsun Wuji looked carefully, he pondered: "It's just that the characters are not well printed!"

Su Cheng smiled and explained: "The inks printed are actually specially prepared. This ink is suitable for woodblock printing and is not suitable for lead type, so it is still necessary to prepare new ink. I asked the craftsmen, and they said that it is not difficult to prepare new ink."

Li Shimin and others immediately looked at the craftsmen beside them, but the craftsmen were already confused. When they heard the emperor coming, they were already confused there in fear and had not yet come back to their senses.

Wei Zheng asked with a smile: "Are you sure to prepare new ink so that the characters printed with lead type are the same as those printed with woodblocks?"

The manager said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, it takes less than ten days to prepare ink suitable for this type of lead type."

Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and then became excited.

Success! Su Cheng actually succeeded!

They thought about it carefully that such small lead characters can be assembled and arranged to print books!
Chapter completed!
