Chapter 305: Time travel again
When they returned to the Li family, Sister-in-law Li took the wooden box carried by Shijiu and asked Li Sanniang: "What is this? It's pretty easy to handle."
< br>Li Sanniang took the cloth towel handed over by Luzhu'er and said to Sister Li while wiping her hands: "It was given to me by someone who came to the clinic today. It is a white porcelain tea set.
Take it apart and use it. , It’s okay to leave it to our family to take care of us while we drink tea.”
Sister-in-law Li understands that the Li Family Medical Center has been open for so long, and Li’s father has been practicing medicine for decades, and there are indeed many times. Patients and their families bring more expensive gifts to the door.
Sister-in-law Li thought that since Li Sanniang was also a doctor, it was normal for someone to give her some gifts.
After playing with Lu Zhuer for a while, it was time for dinner.
The most surprising thing is that Brother Li returned home early today.
"Brother, you haven't had dinner with us for a while."
Brother Li cleaned his hands, picked up the dewdrops around Li Sanniang's legs, and pushed hard He threw the dewdrop into the sky, and then caught it when it fell to the height of Brother Li's neck.
This went back and forth several times, making Lu Zhuer laugh.
Mother Li came in from the next door. As soon as she walked to the edge of the yard, she saw Brother Li doing this, and immediately a fire went straight to the top of her forehead.
“Boss!
Put Zhuer down quickly!
What a man!
The tiger head is at an age where it is easy to get a wife, and he himself is already going to be an Aweng, but he is still teasing the children here regardless of the importance! "
Mother Li ran over in just a few steps and carefully snatched Luzhu'er from Brother Li's arms.
"Grandma's darling, are you scared? Your uncle really has no idea. "
"Grandma, how are you doing, uncle? Pearl likes this. "
Brother Li scratched the back of his head and stood still to listen to Mother Li's scolding.
However, Xiao Shilang, who had been watching covetously, jumped out at this time, walked to Brother Li's leg, hugged Brother Li's thigh and begged: "Uncle, I want this too, I'm older than Luzhu'er, I'm not afraid, uncle, hold me I'll fly."
Brother Li laughed twice, thrust his hands under Koshiro's armpits, and threw Koshiro into the air with a "swish", and then stabilized when he fell. He caught it steadily and repeated this several times. The whole yard was filled with Koshiro's cheerful laughter.
After dinner and the family gathered in the main hall to chat, Brother Li took out a book and handed it to Li Sanniang.
“No, I found a bookstore for the manuscript you gave me, and they were pretty quick. They gave me a sample book in just a few days.
Look, if it’s right, I But just place an order and have it printed.”
Li Sanniang quickly put down the fruit in her hand and took the book handed over by the second brother Li. This book was stapled with thread and had an indigo blue cover. The vertical version read "Introduction to Wen Po" in large italics and read carefully.
While flipping through the pages, Li Sanniang was surprised. Is this another time travel colleague starting to flap their little wings?
Li Sanniang remembered that she gave her manuscript to Brother Li more than ten days ago, and asked him to help him find a bookstore and printing bureau to see if he could print some books at his own expense.
You need to know why in the past knowledge could only be possessed by the upper class?
One of the important reasons is that books are expensive.
Before movable type printing, every book was hand-copied. As the cost increased, how could books not be expensive?
Later, after Emperor Wu came to the throne, I don’t know who invented engraving and printing books, so that books could be supplied to those who were wealthy and had children who were studying.
Even the pamphlets published every quarter by the Imperial Medical Office are produced by the government printing bureau.
But Li Sanniang didn’t expect that there would be complete movable type printing now?
Li Sanniang wouldn’t believe it if no time travel colleagues took action.
"Second brother, how come you can produce a sample book so quickly? There are only a few days until I give you this manuscript."
Brother Li knew that Li Sanniang would ask such a question. You must know that he had I took this manuscript to the bookstore and asked about it. They said that as long as I was willing to pay the money, I could be ranked immediately.
Brother Li paid the money, and within a few days, he got such a sample book. He was also shocked.
“We still don’t have any news about this. I don’t know who is a clever person who actually came up with the idea of carving out the characters one by one in advance and then combining them for typesetting. The people in this bookstore said that this It's called movable type printing." Li Sanniang turned through the pages and saw a blank page. Brother Li also looked up and saw it, so he explained to Li Sanniang: "Those pictures you drew can be printed if you want. OK, but it will cost more and it will take some time. After all, they have to find a craftsman to carve it before printing it, which takes a lot of effort.”
Li Sanniang expressed her understanding and asked the second brother Li: "This money is worth spending and should be spent.
Is the money I gave to the second brother before still enough?
I will give it to you later. Second brother, take some manuscripts of the techniques that I wrote earlier. Second brother will also take them and help me print some. Just in time, let’s get together with this." Li Sanniang shook the book in her hand twice, " It’s cheap to give it to others and learn together.”
Brother Li was curious about what the two were talking about, so he raised his hand and took the book from Li Sanniang’s hand to read.
“I’m sorry for bothering you, second brother. I’ll treat you to a feast later and reward you.”
Brother Li smiled and didn't reply, but he felt worried that Li Sanniang had not ignored his efforts.
“I haven’t been at home during this period, but I didn’t know you had done such a big thing.
If it is useful to go to Big Brother’s place, just ask. "
"Hehe, I know, I'm not polite to my eldest brother. "
The Li family looks happy, but every family in Chang'an City has its own joys and sorrows.
Xing family, study room.
Xing Yu is reading a book under the lamp. Although it is printed vertically and the font is in traditional block letters, the content inside is Buddhist scriptures.
This is why Mrs. Xing has had such a hobby since the young man of the Xing family was lost and found on the night of the last Wanshou Festival, copying Buddhist scriptures.
“Now that movable type printing is done, I’m just opening a supermarket. Do I need to expand it, or else I won’t be able to keep up with my time travel colleagues.”
Xing Yu was thinking in his mind While thinking about this, I heard a knock on the door, and then Mrs. Xing came in with a tea tray.
"Master Lang, let's have a bowl of pear soup."
West City, a house behind a shop.
Chang Siyuan was wearing brown shorts and sitting on a round table, reading a book in front of the lampstand. The name on the cover page of the book was the manuscript "Introduction to Wenpo" written by Li Sanniang.
“Hey, isn’t this the job of a midwife? She’s in charge of women giving birth.
This person named Li Sanniang, I’m afraid she was an obstetrician and gynecologist before time travel.”
Daming Palace, Xuande Hall.
Emperor Wu was also sitting on the lampstand reading the record of strangers that Xue Yao had just presented recently. Looking at the small notes about seven or eight people with abnormalities that appeared, Emperor Wu thought to himself, "This can be regarded as an effort." ”
Remarks (from Baidu Encyclopedia):
Block printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty and was widely used in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The invention of movable type printing was a great technological revolution in the history of printing.
During the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1041-1048), Bi Sheng (970-1051) of China invented movable clay type, marking the birth of movable type printing.
He was the world's first inventor, about 400 years before the German Johannes Gutenberg's movable lead type printing.
Wang Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty successfully created wooden movable type and invented wheel typesetting.
In the mid-Ming Dynasty, copper movable type was widely used in Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou and other places in Jiangsu.
