Chapter 195 The King, Queen, Young Master, and Sword Master
"Ah~ I seem a little sleepy, so I'll go back to sleep first."
Cheng Jiao yawned, stood up unsteadily, and was about to walk out of the room.
"sit down!"
Ying Zheng subconsciously sat up straight.
Cheng Jiao didn't even think about it, and immediately sat back. Looking at her face again, there was no trace of sleepiness at all.
"The genius is so dark, why should I sleep?" Shu Li looked at Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao looked helpless.
Whenever Shu Li and Ying Zheng stayed together, Cheng Jiao would feel uncomfortable and always wanted to stay as far away from them as possible.
"I was reading so well just now." Shu Li glanced at the bamboo slips spread out on the table, "Keep reading. Where are you going?"
"What the queen said is absolutely true." Ying Zheng agreed, "My little brother, just read the book again. If you don't hear it, it's better to hear it. If you don't hear it, it's better to hear it. If you hear it, it's worse to see it. If you see it, it's better to know it. If you know it, it's better to do it. The world is at peace. "My little brother, let me see it first, prophet, and then help me see it later."
Cheng Jiao curled her lips.
Every time Brother Wang didn't speak up for him, he would just step on him.
"Brother Wang's words make sense. Why don't you also read with me?"
Ying Zheng looked at Shu Li and found that she seemed to agree with Cheng Jiao's words, so he knew that he had absolutely no room to refuse, not to mention that he didn't like reading, so he readily agreed.
"What's wrong with that?"
When Cheng Jiao saw Ying Zheng's reaction, she instantly realized that she had miscalculated.
Didn't his brother Wang always like to hold the bamboo slips and read them, which almost made them wet?
Genie in the corner was silent again.
Although he has always spoken very little, there has never been a situation like this where he didn't know how to react because his first impression of people was continuously broken.
So, after Lao Zhaotou brought a few scrolls of bamboo slips, everyone in the room began to read with books in their hands. Suddenly, a scene of seriousness and studiousness appeared.
"Sister." Finally, after reading the book for a while, Cheng Jiao still felt something was strange.
"Read the book carefully and don't be distracted." Shu Li put down the paper book in her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Cheng Jiao was speechless.
From the beginning, he was curious about what Shu Li was holding.
Seeing Shu Li put down her book and drink tea, Cheng Jiao quickly put down the bamboo slips in her hand and carefully took the paper book in front of Shu Li.
Shu Li just glanced at Cheng Jiao's movements, but did not stop them.
"This thing seems to be very useful, but it is fragile." Cheng Jiao tried to use a little force and tore a hole.
He also saw his brother Wang writing on it with a brush in his study room. It was indeed very convenient.
Shuli:!
Shu Li snatched the book from Cheng Jiao's hand, "This is the first printed book, you are going to die!"
Cheng Jiao was startled.
"That book is worth hundreds of gold, be careful your sister tears it up for you." Ying Zheng said in a nonchalant manner while watching the show.
Shu Li turned around and glared at Ying Zheng, who was so frightened that he immediately buried his head in the bamboo slips.
"Is this thing worth a hundred gold?" Cheng Jiao was a little stunned.
This is not Shu brocade, nor is it anything that looks particularly valuable.
If I must say it, the feel of the book to his hand was a bit like the grass that country people use to wipe the back of the toilet.
"This was formulated after countless experiments by the Ministry of Industry. Forget it, you don't understand even if you tell me." Shuli didn't want to ignore Chengjiao and continued to flip through the book in her hand. She wanted to check again to see if it was really qualified. .
People from the Ministry of Industry experimented with countless materials of wood and grass, and mixed their proportions many times, and what ingredients needed to be added, before they made this kind of paper suitable for printing.
Shu Li has already made two of the four great inventions.
As for the other two, they looked too high on Shu Li, a liberal arts student in his previous life.
She used to think that gunpowder was a natural thing that only needed to be mined. That's why mining accidents happened because gunpowder is flammable.
Not to mention the compass.
In Shuli's previous life, she could get lost even if she followed the navigation system. In this world, she could only rely on the morning and evening sun to determine the direction.
Those businessmen who run businesses are all experts in wilderness survival. Everyone is a Mr. Bei, and there is no need for Shuli to teach them how to identify directions.
"That's it." Cheng Jiao nodded.
What he learned was that the Gongshu family spent a lot of money helping Da Qin make new equipment.
Therefore, it is indeed very expensive to develop a new thing.
"Sister, what is the book in your hand about? What else is 'printing'?" Cheng Jiao didn't want to read a book and tried to chat with Shu Li to pass the time. At the same time, he was really curious about it.
"The Book of Shang Jun, your brother Wang loved reading this book before, so the first printing was based on the Book of Shang Jun." Shu Li showed Cheng Jiao a classic chapter in the book.
Later, Shu Li continued, "As for printing, it's just like using a seal on a slip tied with a rope, placing a mud seal at the knot, and stamping the seal on the mud. The mud seal is also on the mud. Printing, it’s just printing on paper.”
Cheng Jiao suddenly understood the principle and murmured, "It turns out to be so simple, how come no one discovered it before?"
"Then why has no one invented this thing before?" Shu Li raised the book in her hand, "Besides, this ink cannot be printed easily."
"No wonder it's worth a hundred gold."
"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and read your book, and you." Shu Li turned around and glared at Ying Zheng, who had been fishing for a while.
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Shu Li, "I would rather look at you than look at the bamboo slip."
Shuli:.
That's enough, you're so oily
Cheng Jiao:.
It turns out that this is how Brother Wang hooked up with his sister
Gai Nie:.
I should read the book seriously
Shu Li expressionlessly thrust the book in her hand into Ying Zheng's face, "Read your book, or I will drive you back to Xianyang."
Ying Zheng didn't mind Shu Li's actions, he just smiled and took the book.
"Queen Cicada, when will "Five Beetles" be printed as well?"
"Just wait, the Ministry of Industry is still improving the materials, and..." Shu Li stared at Ying Zheng closely, "You have to know that each of the seven countries in the world has its own writing. What you have to do It’s still a long, long time.”
"I will not forget it." Ying Zheng looked at the book with "Book of Shang Jun" printed in his hand, "One day, there will be only one kind of writing in the world, and sooner or later, this simple and easy writing tool will be spread throughout the world. .”
Shu Li nodded and interrupted the atmosphere created by Ying Zheng with one word, "Okay, let's continue reading."
Gai Nie was sitting in the corner, deep in thought.
He only knew that Ying Zheng wanted to end the troubled times, but he never thought that there were more things he wanted to accomplish.
Unify the writing and write the same text.
That is something that even Dazhou has not accomplished yet.
If Cangjie’s creation of characters made ghosts cry, then would the gods also be frightened by the unified writing style?
