Three Kingdoms

Chapter 728 The book passed down to the world

In the Han Dynasty, there was only the rudiment of engraving, that is, rubbing.

The reason for the existence of rubbings is inseparable from Cai Yong.

Because Cai Yong's Xiping Stone Classic was a sensation throughout the country, many people dared to come from thousands of miles away just to get the corrected version of the Xiping Stone Scripture. Therefore, the method of copying appeared, and later it became rubbing books. .

But the engraving thing, one is because it was relatively chaotic from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Five Hus, and then the Sui Dynasty, and the other is because paper was not popularized in large quantities, so it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it officially appeared.

As for movable type printing, that is what happened in the later Song Dynasty...

Originally, the technology of movable type printing had to pass through wooden movable type and clay movable type before entering the ranks of metal movable type. But since Fei Qian knew about this, he directly asked Huang Yueying to cast the type in copper.

And it just so happens that Fei Qian now has all the conditions he should have.

Clay type and wooden type are of course not as good as metal type, but among metal type, copper is the best and most convenient material. Whether before or after, copper was still a currency, and it just so happened that during this period Because copper coins in the market are like waste due to inflation, and a large amount of bad money has nowhere to go, so Fei Qian directly took part of it and melted it to make fonts...

As for the casting craftsmen, this is even simpler. Han Li itself is a font with strong aesthetics, which is perfect for casting and engraving.

To put it bluntly, movable type printing does not actually have much high-tech and sophisticated technical content, so it didn’t take long for Huang Yueying to develop it. However, because it was an experimental product, she did not choose one with a large number of words, so she only printed this "Lianshan" "Remnant Chapter" comes out.

The books naturally belong to the Cai family's collection, and many of the books in the Cai family's collection were written by Cai Yanmo. Therefore, although the mold was slightly distorted, the calligraphy handwriting was still vaguely discernible, and Cai Yong could naturally recognize it.

With bamboo paper, relatively cheap and high-quality paper is available. Coupled with movable type printing, mass production of books becomes possible. In this way, the things Fei Qian thought about before have a basis for implementation. .

Although most of the people who come to the Academy are children of aristocratic families, as this group of people continues to expand, books will continue to radiate, and eventually they will flow to more people and a wider range of people. …

Fei Qian smiled flatteringly at Cai Yong, and then said: "The Chapter of the Five Skills of the Flying Squirrel is being printed and will be available soon. It should be a book for beginners in the academy..."

Cai Yong slowly reacted to Cai Cai Fei Qian's words, and immediately showed some smiles. Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be in a very happy mood. What a scholar hopes most is to write a book and pass it down through the ages. I originally thought that besides Luo Apart from the Xiping Stone Scripture in Yangcheng, Cai Yong thought that he might not have any chance to pass it on to future generations like the Xiping Stone Scripture. Unexpectedly, he would have a new opportunity now.

What's more, the Encouragement to Learning chapter was written entirely by Cai Yong, which is naturally very different from the Xiping Stone Classic, which was written by many people.

Cai Yong touched the title page of the book again and marked it as being collected by the Cai family. Although it did not directly say that it was copied by Cai Yan, anyone who is interested might be able to know it after a little understanding. In this way, as long as this volume of the book is Publishing it all over the world means that Fei Qian has made Cai Yong and Cai Yan famous...

Moreover, Fei Qian just mentioned that the Cai family's collection of books was passed down to the world and restored the origin of the books of the various scholars. For those who seek a book but cannot find it, the words of kindness and regeneration are not too much.

"Thank you Ziyuan for this..." Cai Yong's old face glowed with an unspeakable luster. Looking at Fei Qian, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fei Qian could do this without using Cai's name or using Cai Yan's font, so naturally the reputation would fall on Fei Qian.

You must know that even Confucius only accepted thousands of people as disciples at the beginning. But now that the academy is opened and Cai's collection of books is promoted, more than a thousand people will receive Cai's favor? !

In this way, it is equivalent to adding an invisible layer of protection to Cai Yong and Cai Yan. Even if someone from the Chenliu Cai family is not committing suicide, they will be respected wherever they go!

Of course, when Fei Qian faced such a thing, he was also moved, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better to praise Cai Yong.

One is because Cai Yong is his master and a recognized master of Confucian classics in the north, but he has not made any achievements in the field of Confucian classics. Even if he insists on pretending to be a big clove of garlic regardless of the situation, there are probably not many people. If you know it, you won't have much credibility...

Second, although Cai Yong said that he would stay in Pingyang Shoushan Academy, if something happened to the Cai family in Chenliu, and then Cai Yong was needed, would Cai Yong choose the family or the academy? And in this way, it is basically equivalent to tying Cai Yong and the academy together, and also tying the Chen Liucai family to the academy's chariot. The affairs of the academy naturally become the Chen Liucai family's business. …

Third, of course, these books cannot be given out for free. Some books on superficial cognitive literacy, such as Cai Yong’s literacy chapter, are almost free, but other books may have to meet certain standards. Only then can you borrow them, so that you can unknowingly use some conditions to pull these academy students onto your chariot...

Fei Qian didn't have many books on hand. Only Cai Yong, whose private collection of books in the Han Dynasty could rival the national collection, could do it. What's more, after the Dongguan in Luoyang was burned down, although Li Ru sent someone to send it Some of the books were given as rewards for Fei Qian's victory over Bai Bo, but they still cannot be compared with the number of books collected by Cai Yong, so in any case, the name given to Cai Yong is well deserved.

Plus the Cai family's humanoid library, well, this...

Food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done step by step. Fei Qian has now set up a huge trap, waiting for students all over the world to fall into the trap. Of course, Cai Yong cannot let Cai Yong know about these subsequent things.

Seeing that Cai Yong had no objection, Fei Qian naturally said goodbye to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian's leaving figure with a smile on his face and nodded slightly with satisfaction. He felt that it was the most appropriate idea for him to accept Fei Qian as his disciple. Then he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the Academy Council Hall to see him again. Seeing how the other people were doing, he took two steps and suddenly paused. A strange thought came to him: "This Ziyuan...could it be that he tried his best to dissuade me from leaving the capital during the Luoyang period? Could it be that he had calculated it at that time?" This collection of books?”

Cai Yong shook his head from side to side, frowned and thought for a while, then smiled dumbly, shook his head, and dismissed the idea in his heart. After all, the world has been unpredictable in the past two years, and even he is a little overwhelmed, so what about Fei Qian? There may be such a long-term plan...

Do you want to add some tea leaves to the noodles? In fact, it tastes pretty good if you add a little while cooking. Just don’t add too much, and it’s not recommended to eat it at night, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep after eating it. The author who is tossing and turning... …
