Chapter 37 Movable Type Printing!
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Yunjing laughed: "Those who put on the bidding and selling their first place dare to speak loudly here!"
A hint of shame flashed in Yelu Baba's eyes and shouted: "Who are you? Do you dare to come out to fight!"
Xiao Yunjing laughed: "Are you worthy?"
Yelu Baba gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes fell on Zhang Han's face, and he said in a deep voice: "You can only shoot cold arrows behind your back. Such a small person's behavior is in line with the so-called etiquette in the Central Plains?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Han laughed furiously: "Whether the barbarians and others talk about etiquette, do you think we are fools?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, just attack. If you don't dare, go back and herd sheep as soon as possible!"
Yelu Baba smiled coldly and turned around and said, "Let's go!"
Lin Yan stood above the city, never speaking, his eyes fell on the departing Xiqi Iron Cavalry, and said softly: "Xiqi Iron Cavalry is dominant in the world, but after getting off the horse, he is almost the same as our Yasukuni soldiers!"
"Also, Xiqi's siege equipment is extremely backward, with only cloud ladders and siege cars, and nothing else!"
"So, in this battle, our Yasukuni was at a disadvantage in addition to the number of people, and he was in other aspects!"
Mu Su, who was standing by, nodded in agreement, and said softly: "We are more than enough to defend the capital at this time. As long as we have the opportunity, we may not be able to defeat Xiqi with a counterattack!"
Yue Fei looked at Mu Su in surprise, for some reason, his tone suddenly became firm, and he whispered: "This battle is a tough battle!"
Lin Yan smiled faintly, glanced at the distance, and said softly: "It's almost time!"
...
When Lin Yan returned to the palace, he heard Eunuch Liu say, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager invite you to come!"
Lin Yan's face was slightly stunned and said with a faint smile: "Empress Dowager?"
"What can I say?"
"Never!"
Lin Yan said lightly: "I don't need to pay attention to it for the time being!"
"Just say that I am busy with official duties and busy dealing with Xiqi. After the overall situation is settled, I will definitely pay my respects!"
This empress dowager was not Lin Yan's biological mother, but Lin Chen's mother. Lin Yan's biological mother died early and was raised by King Cheng's mother himself. Therefore, Lin Yan did not have any good feelings for this empress dowager!
On the contrary, half of the reason why Emperor Jing can reach this day is because of this Empress Dowager!
"promise!"
After Eunuch Liu retreated, Lin Yan showed a thoughtful look in his eyes and said softly: "Calculate the time, Fan Li should come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Liu, who had just left, turned back again: "Your Highness, Minister of Works, You Bin, ask for a meeting!"
Lin Yan's face was slightly stunned, then she showed a hint of joy and said softly: "Let him come in!"
"promise!"
You Bin walked to Lin Yan in small steps: "See Your Highness!"
Seeing the joy on You Bin's face, Lin Yan showed a smile on her face and said softly: "Is it done?"
The smile on You Bin's face finally couldn't hide it: "Your Highness, it's done!"
"good!"
"good!"
"OK!"
Lin Yan said three times in a row: "Yes, Lord You, I will remember you again this time!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Hearing Lin Yan's praise, You Bin said with a smile: "Your Highness, although you have already made a hundred steelmaking process, it will take at least one month to produce in large quantities!"
"So, it cannot be used on a large scale for the time being!"
Lin Yan was stunned and nodded slightly. It was good to be able to master the forging method of 100 steelmaking in three days. As for Mo Dao, Lin Yan didn't even think about it in a short period of time!
"Sir You, I want your Ministry of Works to make some gadgets!"
"Your Highness just give orders!"
Lin Yan thought for a moment and said in a solemn voice: "This method is not complicated to make. You must use a trustworthy craftsman and there is no possibility of any leakage!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against others!"
Lin Yan's eyes were filled with a warning, and You Bin's face was slightly stunned. You know, even if it was the three-bow crossbow and the method of creating a catapult, the prince did not pay so much attention. What exactly was it that made the prince so cautious?
"Don't worry, your highness, after the official returns, he will definitely supervise this matter himself!"
Lin Yan nodded slightly and said softly: "After going back, I summoned some masons to make the same-sized blanks with clay, and carved the inverted single characters at one end. The protruding height of the characters is like the thickness of the edge of the copper coin. It is burned with fire to become a single mud movable type."
"Prepare twenty to thirty words for some commonly used words. After making one, I will send it to me first!"
A trace of doubt flashed in You Bin's eyes: "I wonder if your Highness is preparing?"
Lin Yan did not tell the whole story of movable type printing, but handed over some pre-production to the Ministry of Works!
"You don't need to worry too much about what it is. Just follow my instructions!"
"promise!"
After You Bin bowed deeply, he stood up to say goodbye. Lin Yan's face was deep. Mo Dao could not be forged in a short period of time, but movable type printing can be done in a short period of time!
I don’t know whether the movable type printing technology is good or bad. You must know that books have always been controlled by those aristocratic families, and even some of them are not even in the palace!
The cost of making books is high, and whether it is paper or copying, it is extremely energy-consuming. In order to stabilize their status, those so-called famous families strictly control the outflow of books. In this way, it is difficult for thousands of people to educate them. The children of the gentry directly monopolize the court and dare to challenge the imperial power!
Now, Lin Yan's movable type printing technology is now in this era, it is simply a photocopier, which can completely break the deadlock of the monopoly of the aristocratic families!
By then, the people's hearts will become open and the poor family may not be able to replace the status of the aristocratic family. Therefore, if this movable type printing technique is leaked, Lin Yan will definitely become the public enemy of the aristocratic family!
"I can only take one step and see one step. The regime comes from the barrel of a gun. As long as I have soldiers and armor in my hands, what about the aristocratic family?"
A trace of gloom flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. If the aristocratic family really became a barrier to the revival of the Yasukuni Kingdom, Lin Yan would not mind pulling out their tiger teeth!
