?? Chapter 1756 Movable Type Printing

?? Shaowen Shaowu also nodded, "Yes, ma'am, among the four of us, only Hongxiu can write words. If you let us in, it's better to go to the street and drag two people."

??Gu Yundong couldn't help but glared at them, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, come and help me."

?? While speaking, she put the box on the table, opened the lid, and then carefully took out the contents.

?? The thing she took out was really strange, and Tong Shuitao, who was still a little dejected, was taken aback for a moment, and they stepped forward to look.

"what is this?"

?? "Miss, why are there all characters on it?"

Gu Yundong nodded, "Yes, these are all characters. This thing is called movable type printing, and it is made of glue. It is much more convenient and quicker than the engraving printing we have seen before. Today we will use this to win the Marquis of Pingnan. House."

?? In the Jin Dynasty at this time, no one used movable type printing.

?? When Gu Yundong knew about it by accident last time, he really had this thing in his heart.

?? It’s just that she only knows about movable type printing, and she doesn’t know how to make it.

?? So she and Shao Qingyuan found wood lettering and tried it out. Although they also came up with a simple version, they always felt that something was missing, and the font was a little uneven and not neat.

?? Shao Qingyuan said that the texture of the wood is combed and dense, and it will become uneven when it gets wet, and it will stick to the medicine. It is too difficult to remove the board.

?? So, they switched to mastic.

After making the ??, Gu Yundong didn't rush to take it out. After all, he gave the magnifying glass to the emperor, followed by movable type printing. It was too high-profile. She has always been very humble.

?? And this thing, Gu Yundong wanted to remind Gu Dajiang to discover it, which would help increase his popularity.

??Unfortunately, I didn’t expect it to be used on occasions like today.

As Gu Yundong moved, he explained to a few people, "This clay font is very thin, and it can be hardened by burning it after it is engraved. This is an iron plate with turpentine on it, and wax mixed with paper ash to cover it. This is an iron frame. Put things on the iron plate, and then we will type the font according to the words in the medical book, so, do you understand?"

?? Several people listened and watched, and their eyes lit up involuntarily.

?? "Understood, Miss, I'm good at this manual work, I'll do it."

?? Gu Yundong moved away and took out a second iron plate. She prepared two copies, which was convenient.

?? gave the other one to Lu Hongxiu to complete, and took Shaowen Shaowu to the side.

?? "Madam, what shall we do?"

?? Gu Yundong said, "I just looked at the medical book, and there are many common and uncommon characters in it. The fonts I prepared are missing some. Let's engrave the fonts on the spot."

?? Shao Wen and Shaowu nodded quickly. The hands of those who practice martial arts are relatively stable, and they may tremble when they are asked to write, but there is no problem with engraving. After two more attempts, they will become proficient.

?? Five people work together, quietly doing their own thing in the room.

?? Not long after, Tong Shuitao had already arranged the first page of the medical book, and she glanced at it with a sense of accomplishment.

?? Lu Hongxiu was a bit slower, because there were a few common words, so she had to leave a few places blank first.

??Gu Yundong came to Tong Shuitao to check twice, and after confirming it was correct, he nodded.

?? "Okay, let's bake it with fire first."

??Tong Shuitao followed her instructions, carefully doing it step by step.

?? After the first page was printed flat, several people present couldn't help cheering in unison.

"Out."
