"What kind of magic is this?" Li Chongrun was a little confused.
"It's the kind of method where you sew a person back and forth, just like sewing a rag doll, and then the person is cured." Wu Qi supported Li Chongrun's surgery for the longest time yesterday, and is the most familiar with Li Chongrun's operation.
"Oh, you want to learn how to do surgery. I haven't figured out the method yet, but if you want to learn it, we can learn it together."
Li Chongrun glanced at Wu Qi and thought it might be a good thing to have a cute little nurse by his side.
"But let's get started. Studying medicine requires you to memorize a lot of books. As the saying goes, if you want to persuade people to study medicine, you will be struck by lightning. I don't want you to talk about it later."
"Wu Qi has a very good memory. The plays written by the prince were so long, Wu Qi could remember them in one go."
"You made your own choice, don't blame me." Li Chongrun smiled maliciously at Wu Qi, and responded to Wu Qi's expectant gaze.
As soon as she reached the door of the guest room, Bing'er hurried over from the backyard, holding a small note in her hand.
Although the quill pen accidentally invented by Li Chongrun has not yet been accepted by the world, Feng Yiwei likes this new gadget with extremely fine handwriting, which can greatly improve the efficiency of flying pigeons to pass letters and secret messages.
The letter was sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it was good news from the beginning.
His Majesty has given the nod to Li Chongrun to print the book.
The second piece of good news is that my aunt has been promoted and is now the third-rank Minister of Taichang Temple, with a very distinguished status.
When Li Chongrun heard the news, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. His aunt was originally from the third rank, and she reached this rank as a woman. She was already unprecedented. She didn't hear any political turmoil today, so why was she promoted?
official?
The third one is a puzzling news. It is said that it has recently been spread in the city of God that he is a rabbit master and likes to molest children.
Li Chongrun maliciously speculated that this must be the work of his father-in-law.
But being able to print books is indeed good news.
If you want to build a factory, climb the technological tree, and crush the five surnames and seven hopes, you will naturally need a large number of workers who have received primary education.
Otherwise, if the workers in the workshop don't know a word of Chinese characters, and can't even do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, how can they create things that are considered top-secret black technology in this dynasty?
For example, when making gunpowder, different proportions will have different effects. One batch of gunpowder produced in the workshop can be used to blow up mountains, while the other batch can only be used as a flower.
If you want to quickly cultivate a large number of workers who are literate and know simple arithmetic, you need a lot of books.
In this dynasty, books still represent high-end knowledge and learning. If you have five great things to learn, you will already be a world-famous scholar.
Now, with His Majesty's approval, the book is no longer just for rich and wealthy scholars, but something that can truly enter the homes of ordinary people.
Lao Chen's fever has subsided somewhat, but he is still unconscious.
Li Chongrun had no choice but to arrange for a few little girls to boil the medicine and pour some decoction into it regularly.
Without modern antibiotics, we can only use some traditional Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory effects such as dandelion, and we can only leave the rest to fate.
Lao Chen is still lying down, and Yang San can't find any news. Li Chongrun wants to go to Runzhou to visit, but although the distance is not far, the New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the governor has already sent a greeting invitation to New Year's Day.
I couldn't do without the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven, so I could only wait.
Li Chongrun was a person who couldn't take any time off, and he was also known as someone who liked to mess around. But after staying at home for a long time, he happily rushed to Yangzhou City to find a shop and prepare to open a printing library.
The merchants and restaurants in Yangzhou City have all moved to the banks of the Guan River, leaving only some government offices and schools in the city. There is also a Confucian Temple with great fireworks.
The Confucian Temple was the first of its kind in this dynasty. Just as it was popular in later generations to pass up Kobe Bryant instead of Conan, the rise of exams prompted the emergence of the Confucian Temple. Everyone came to take exams. It is always right to pay homage to the ancestor. It is also a comfort to the heart, right?
.
The south of the Yangtze River has always been a place of cultural prosperity since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, when Yiguan moved south. There were many scholars from poor families, so the Confucian Temple at the entrance of Yangzhou Academy was much more prosperous than other state capitals. Scholars came and went like crucian carp crossing the river.
There is an endless stream.
There was a small incense shop at the entrance of the Confucian Temple, which was packed up and bought by Li Chongrun. However, within a few days, a small signboard was hung in front of the incense shop with the words "Commercial Press" on it.
The few little girls who had previously handed out flyers at the opening of RT-Mart Food Store went to battle again, but they no longer held colorful flags and flags in their hands, but replaced them with a stack of small printed notes, which read:
"The Commercial Press will print the book as soon as possible. It will be available immediately. A thousand words and two hundred texts."
Li Chongrun had been thinking about opening a printing library for a long time.
Printing books in the Tang Dynasty was expensive. Although engraving printing was already available, the price was extremely expensive. Printing a book with tens of thousands of words easily cost dozens of coins, and the price was one or two hundred copies. Therefore, learning to be rich is not just about academic level.
The representative, in many cases, represents financial resources.
As a street writer in his previous life, Li Chongrun was naturally familiar with the technology required for time travel, and he naturally knew that movable type printing could not use ink but had to use ink.
I just mixed it with tung oil and sesame oil several times, but it was still not beautiful enough, or the color easily dispersed, or it was not even enough, causing the handwriting to be damaged, which was always a bit dissatisfying.
A palace servant who had followed Li Chongrun in making fans mentioned it and said that the ink used for painting was very good. Li Chongrun went to buy some and found that it was suitable, but the color was a bit light.
This is easy to solve, just add more finely ground graphite powder.
I also asked skilled craftsmen in Yangzhou City to carve three sets of wooden movable type. The material is oil-rich fragrant wood, which will not absorb ink, so it is perfect for making movable type. One set was sent to Yubi, and the other to Yubi.
When I got to the palace, I still had one set for my own use.
The movable type was ready, and a few sets of explanations and explanations for teaching children how to read were printed. Fortunately, the people brought from the gods in the mansion could read and write, so it was not difficult to find a typesetter.
Everything is ready, all we need is your majesty's nod. It's not like Li Chongrun sent a letter this time and needed to review it in his previous life. It's just the cautious habit that Li Chongrun has developed over the years.
Your Majesty is thoughtful, this is Shangguan Wan'er's comment on Wu Zetian. It doesn't matter if you print the book yourself, but if someone with an intention says lightly: "He is trying to win over the hearts of the world's scholars."
Then Li Chongrun is like a grasshopper after the fall. He can tie himself up and send him to the magistrate's court.
Now that he has received the news that His Majesty has nodded, Li Chongrun's press will naturally open.
However, the first set of books in the press was actually an advertisement for the own press.
The press has been open for two days, and although the advertisement has been distributed to readers as much as two dollars worth of paper, there is still no one to print the book.
Li Chongrun waited for two days in the simply-organized press shop. He was really bored, so he simply left a hired boy to look after him and asked him to pick up the customers and send them to the garden.
As soon as I returned to the garden, I heard Wu Qi come to report that Old Chen had woken up.
