Although Domhnall and Dill slept in Old Tosh's pub all night because of their drunkenness, they still got up the next day despite the discomfort caused by their hangovers.
They all still have work, which is related to Moscow's military construction. Time cannot be lost. Lord Rostislav will deal with them if they are delayed.
Fortunately, both of them were energetic warriors. Although those hangovers made them very nauseous, it had little impact and they could continue working without any problems.
Dill went to the outside of Moscow. The Rostov battalion, which was full of new recruits, really couldn't survive without him, especially when the only officer Yegor could rely on had left today due to something else.
Domhnall went directly to the Red City. The soldiers on duty at the city gate greeted the deputy of the guard captain enthusiastically, but the Gael just waved his hand tiredly. He was really tired.
However, after entering the city gate, he saw his father-in-law walking past him accompanied by the prince, which shocked Domhnall.
If his father-in-law found out that he hadn't come home all night, he would be yelled at badly. In the past few years, he had been punished for this a lot, so this guy subconsciously hid.
Fortunately, neither the father-in-law nor the prince noticed him, which made the Gael sigh a sigh of relief, and then he noticed the two walking towards an inconspicuous house next to the Rostislav Palace.
This house is just an ordinary brick building, but it occupies a large area and is always filled with personal guards of the prince.
And when he thought about those personal followers, Domhnall felt a little unhappy. These people were essentially just soldiers. Why did they act independent from the soldiers all day long? The young people here even dared to contradict him.
However, their unhappiness did not last long. The two people in the past made Domhnall a little curious. Why were they going there so early?
As the second-in-command of the Janissaries, Domhnall knew what the prince was doing there, but unfortunately he only knew what he was doing there.
As for what exactly it is, only the Guardsmen Gevalan knows.
However, Domhnall's curiosity did not last long. He had to quickly gather his men to start the morning drill, lest the prince and his father-in-law came over and found nothing.
————————
If Domhnall could enter that house, he would find that not only the Prince of Moscow and his captain were here, but also the Bishop of Moscow and the abbot of the monastery whose reputation was becoming more and more powerful throughout Northeastern Russia.
.
And these people are gathering together now, watching a set of parchment books being bound into a booklet, and behind them, there is a rather strange machine for this area, and if you are an Easterner, you will definitely recognize it.
name.
printing press.
However, unlike the engraving printing that was popular in the East during this era, the printing press here is a movable type printing press that should not have appeared in this era. The Cyrillic letters on the machine can be disassembled and reassembled.
As the binding of the Bible was completed, Rostislav first took the Bible, opened the parchment pages, and looked at the slightly simplified Church Slavic language on it, feeling satisfied.
After the prince read the Bible, he handed it to the bishop and the abbot of the monastery. The two looked at the Bible carefully to make sure that the printing in it did not disclose anything, and there were expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
"Now the scribes in the church can be liberated, and we have more people who can devote themselves to missionary work. This is really true, Rostislav, I didn't expect you to have such an idea. This is really a salvation.
It’s ruined our career.”
Bishop Luca of Moscow sighed and said that if history were to go by, this bishop would have died long ago, but I don’t know if it is because of the influence of Rostislav, a later visitor, that Bishop Luca is still alive and well, and he is full of energy every day.
Passionate work for the conversion of Northeast Rus.
"In this way, more people can see the Bible, and more people can see the Lord's teachings. Mr. Rostislav, thank you so much. This invention of yours will definitely make your name spread throughout the ages. And I have to express my gratitude to you.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have regarded your work as useless."
Hilarion, the abbot of the largest monastery in Northeast Russia, said, his words were full of gratitude.
And he couldn't help but remember that Rostislav had commissioned him to simplify Church Slavonic as much as possible a few days ago. To put it simply, although it was simplified, it could still be understood by those who spoke Church Slavonic.
At that time, Hilarion thought it was useless, but now his view has changed. This Bible, which was produced at a speed far exceeding that of scribes, allowed him to see the role of simplifying language and writing. Ross's cultural field must be able to
ushering in a round of expansion.
Seeing how moved and inspired these two top religious figures in Northeastern Russia were, Rostislav couldn't help but feel satisfied that his goal had been fully achieved.
In fact, the reason why Rostislav brought out movable type printing is very simple, that is, in today's cultural world of Northeastern Russia - the church to be precise - there is a complete shortage of people, there is a shortage of people everywhere, and there is no one to use them everywhere.
.
Rostislav had to find a way to increase the number of personnel in this area, and after much thought, he only came up with one way.
That is to use movable type printing to liberate those scribes, let them participate in the spread of religion and culture, and fill as many gaps as possible.
It was very troublesome to produce a book in this era. It required scribes to spend a lot of time copying and even drawing. In this way, a lot of manpower that should have been on the missionary battlefield was diverted.
So Rostislav wanted to use movable type printing to liberate them.
As the direct beneficiaries of this liberation, Hilarion and Luca were both jubilant. They immediately had a group of people on their hands to devote to the now nominal parish.
Both of these two people have great ambitions. They came to Northeastern Ross at such a young age just to prove themselves. Otherwise, wouldn't they be able to enjoy happiness in the city?
"It's a pity that we don't have enough parchment paper at all. It seems that we can only import it. I don't know where I can buy these things in large quantities..."
After being happy, Rostislav revealed another problem, which was the insufficient amount of paper. With the parchment paper on hand, he could no longer make dozens of Bibles at most.
