Mu Yangling couldn't help laughing when he heard that, half of the children in the nursery had no names when they came, and half of the names were heavy, so after they started to read, they started to name themselves.

The same is true for Lin Ke. He used to be called Sanzhu, but in the nursery school, those named Sanzhu could line up around the nursery school. Because he chose the craft of printing and often carved characters, he got this name.

Lin Ke was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking worriedly at the characters he had carved. In fact, he had tried three types of wood, but they all failed. He had no choice but to find Master Bowen.

When Lin Ke was still worrying about whether Master Bowen would agree to help him get materials, he heard a soft female voice ask, "Are you Lin Ke?"

Lin Ke looked up and saw Mu Yangling standing not far from him. He immediately got up and nodded awkwardly, "Girl, I, I am Lin Ke."

Mu Yangling looked at the wooden font on the ground, "Is this what you carved?"

Lin Ke scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yes, but it will be ruined once the typesetting is completed and cast."

Mu Yangling picked up a font and squeezed it. These wood blocks are all made of broken wood for making furniture, and their ability to withstand heat is indeed relatively low.

Mu Yangling didn't know which kind of wood the movable type used in movable type printing was made of, but she had heard of tin movable type, but the most famous one was clay movable type. After thinking about it, Mu Yangling said: "I will Ask someone to prepare more temperature-resistant wood for you, and you bring a few classmates to experiment together, but don’t talk about it, just treat it as your usual homework.”

Apart from Bowen and her, the only person who can realize the impact of movable type printing is Mr. Liu in the nursery.

Lin Ke was very excited, nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely try my best to verify that this printing method is useful."

Mu Yangling naturally believed that she asked people to buy temperature-resistant wood overnight.

Xiuhong was speechless, "Is this really possible?"

Mu Yangling turned his head and said, "Even if it doesn't work out, this possibility is worth experimenting with. Xiuhong, you should read more books. You ask Bowen, why is he willing to support Lin Ke without a guarantee?"

Xiuhong turned her head to look at Bowen.

Bowen raised his head and said: "Because the spread of culture represents the progress of technology, cousin Xiuhong, with the invention of paper, many things in the world can be recorded. Affordable to read books, and engraving and printing came after imperial examinations. If Lin Ke’s method can be used, among other things, the price of books will be much cheaper. If there are more people who study and be educated in this world, the national strength will naturally It went up."

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? But the spread of culture will indeed be strengthened a lot."

When Mu Yangling went back, he opened the history books about Sejong, and found that there was really no mention of movable type printing. Did he forget?

Mu Yangling couldn't find the reason, so she could only not think about it. She had already found a gift for Qi Xiuyuan's wedding.

Movable type printing, she didn’t intend to keep it alone, and she couldn’t hide it. Except for the bookstore, I’m afraid no one would come to snatch it. It’s not that Bi Sheng didn’t pay attention to it after he invented movable type printing back then. , leading to the loss of the clay type making method of movable type printing, only the method of movable type printing has been handed down?

Although this is not the Northern Song Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty is similar to the Song Dynasty. Maybe the upper class here is the same as the upper class in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Two days later, through experiments, Lin Ke finally found two suitable types of wood. After casting, the printed characters were still somewhat unsatisfactory, but it was much better than the previous situation where he could not even print.

Mu Yangling nodded slightly, and said, "Try the clay, it should be much better than wood."

"Clay?" Lin Ke's eyes flashed with confusion, "Isn't that for pottery?"

"Yes, the movable type made of wood is limited, and it will be broken after a few plates. Pottery has no texture on wood. As long as it is cast well, the service life of the type should be ten times or even higher than that of wood. .”

Lin Ke was eager to try, "But girl, I don't know how to make pottery."

"You can apply for the pottery-making class again, or you can ask the pottery-making classmate to help you." Mu Yang looked at Lin Ke with admiration and said, "You are only twelve years old this year, and you still have a lot of time to study this."

Lin Ke's eyes sparkled, and then he became worried again, "Will anyone use this printing method?"

"As long as you do well, someone will definitely use it, and even your name will be recorded in the history books in the future."

There was light in Lin Ke's eyes, and he said firmly on his small face: "Girl, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

"I want to send this printing technique to General Qi, and let him promote it. I don't know if you are willing. Of course, if this printing technique generates benefits and is handed over to me, I will hand it over to you. "

Lin Ke blushed, shook his head again and again, and said, "Girl, this, this is what you and the nursery school originally did, and anyone can learn this."

Mu Yangling smiled slightly, "I know anyone can learn it, but since you invented it, you should be rewarded."

"It's fine for the girl to decide, I, I will listen to the girl."

Mu Yangling took away the typeface of the second chapter of that edition of "The Analects of Confucius".

With this, Mu Yangling wrapped a hundred taels of red envelopes and went to Qi Xiuyuan's wedding banquet. Mu Yangling attached great importance to this thing, so when he handed it to Butler Zhu, he made a special statement that Qi Xiuyuan must see it.

Butler Zhu was so busy that day that he got dizzy and forgot, even if he didn't forget, he wouldn't use this to harass his master on the wedding night, but the next day, when Qi Xiuyuan led Li Jinghua to meet the servants of the whole family, Butler Zhu remembered it.

But Qi Xiuyuan is newly married, he only plays chess and chats with his little wife, and doesn't go to the study to deal with political affairs, and the butler Zhu doesn't know what is in the box, so he hesitates for a while.

Qi Xiuyuan saw that the butler Zhu was not going, so he asked with a smile, "Why are you still here? Do you think I gave you too little red envelope?"

Butler Zhu shouted: "The slave really wants to ask for another red envelope, but I don't know if the master is willing to part with it."

Qi Xiuyuan threw a red envelope to him, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, let's play around like this in front of your mistress, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Master Hui, it's not a big deal, it's just that when Miss Mu came here yesterday, in addition to the gift money, she also gave the little one a box, saying it was a wedding gift specially for you, and told the little one to let you see it The little one doesn't know what's in it, and I don't know if it will delay Miss Mu's business." Zhu Butler knows that the eldest son attaches great importance to this future fourth young mistress.

"Oh?" Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked, "Where's the box?"

"The servant put it away alone, the little one will bring it for you to see?"

"Take it to the study, I happen to have some business to deal with." Qi Xiuyuan turned his head and said to his wife, and said softly, "Go back to your room and rest, and come back to accompany you after I finish my business."
