Regarding papermaking, Long Lin had a somewhat vague understanding.
It should be that some wood chips and other things were broken into pieces and put into a pool, and then fished out to form paper.
Long Lin didn't know much about the specific process.
After these papers are dried, they will form rice paper. The newly formed rice paper is very large and not particularly neat.
After cutting, it can be formed into some book-sized papers.
Without machinery, it would be difficult to make more paper. I am afraid the only way is to increase the number of workshops for making paper.
Printable books, Long Lin You Impression, and movable type printing can greatly speed up printing.
There is a huge difference between carving a word and carving a word board.
The solution is also very simple, just change it.
After making up his mind, Long Lin fell asleep peacefully.
One day later, Long Lin hurried towards the palace and soon met Fang Pu.
Under the leadership of Fang Pu, they rushed towards the rice paper making workshop outside the palace.
The workshop is very large, and countless people inside are busy non-stop.
When they saw the group of people, they all showed respectful expressions.
The three kings followed Long Lin, curiously watching the operation of the entire workshop.
A little old man came to the two of them with a smile on his face.
Under the leadership of the old man, we entered the interior of the workshop.
Each house is a separate small workshop, and there is a large pool inside the house.
Many people took out the papers one by one from the pool and put them aside neatly.
After looking at several places in a row, Long Lin found that there was no difference from what he thought.
Next to the papermaking workshop is the place where books are made. This place is larger than the papermaking workshop.
Under the leadership of the person in charge, we entered the interior of the printed books.
A neat wooden board with square fonts carved on it. After filling it with ink, the entire paper is printed with fonts and then set aside to dry.
The dried papers are then revised into the entire book in order.
The whole process is very complicated, and printing a book takes a very long time.
Long Lin stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and showed a smile.
"Bring this bottom plate, let me take a look."
Someone immediately stepped forward and respectfully took out the bottom plate. There was still a lot of ink on it.
Long Lin took it in his hand and looked towards the bottom board.
On the bottom plate, there are densely packed small characters, engraved all over the entire bottom plate.
This board is not very thick, presumably to save some firewood.
The wooden board, which is not thick to begin with, becomes thinner and lighter after being carved.
Long Lin held it in his hand and shook it deliberately.
Snap!
The bottom plate fell directly from his hands and fell to the ground in an instant.
The already thin base plate could not withstand such a fall and broke into countless pieces under the direct impact.
Some of the carved areas were directly cracked and shattered all over the floor.
This sudden scene shocked many people.
Countless craftsmen suddenly widened their eyes when they saw such a scene.
These bottom plates are very important to them, and all printing is inseparable from these bottom plates.
But now, the bottom plate is just broken. Seeing this scene, countless people immediately showed sad expressions.
In fact, most of them are extremely angry inside.
But the person he was facing was a His Highness, and they were all senior officials in the Ministry of Rites. People like them had no right to be angry.
Even though I feel extremely unhappy, I can only endure it.
Carving such a base plate takes a very long time, and the base plates are all made by skilled craftsmen.
Making a new piece is time-consuming and laborious.
The protection of the bottom plate is usually meticulous to the extreme. In their hands, such a thing has never happened.
If a worker accidentally breaks the bottom board, the punishment that awaits him will be completely unbearable.
Therefore, no one dares to make any mistakes.
But this bottom plate broke into pieces as soon as it was handed to Long Lin's hands.
Your Highness is here just to watch. Isn't this causing trouble?
The scene suddenly fell into silence, and everyone looked at Long Lin.
Fang Pu, who was behind Long Lin, saw everything with his eyes.
His Highness Long Lin held the bottom plate and dropped it to the ground without looking at it for a few times. Those who were close to him could probably see his hand clearly clearly.
Your Highness? Could it be that you did it on purpose?
This kind of bottom plate is very precious, why would you want to damage it?
The person in charge here stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, are you okay? This bottom plate is broken. You can carve a new one, as long as you are okay."
Long Lin heard this and immediately laughed.
The baseboard fell to the ground. What could have happened to him?
It was obvious that this little old man was trying to smooth things over.
He was holding the bottom board himself, obviously shaking it deliberately to make it fall. Others might not be able to see clearly, but this little old man must have seen it all.
In his mind, this little old man must be like a mirror, knowing very well that he deliberately let go and broke the base plate.
But despite this, the little old man could only laugh. I'm afraid he kept all the curses in his heart.
But as a young old man, he must be angry but dare not speak out.
The little old man squatted down and tried to pick up the floorboards.
Long Lin waved his hand at this time.
"Don't move."
After saying these two words, the little old man stopped immediately.
The crouched body stood up in confusion and took a step back.
Long Lin looked carefully at the broken pieces of wood on the ground, and he easily discovered that there was a word in it that happened to fall off independently.
Long Lin leaned down, picked up the wooden board with the word on it, and put it in his hand.
He didn't say anything, just held this small piece of wood and looked at it carefully.
Long Lin remained silent, and the others naturally did not dare to say anything.
Everyone looked puzzled and looked at Long Lin's hand.
Long Lin was looking at the words in his hand. Fang Pu and the officials from the Ministry of Rites behind him also looked at Long Lin's hand in confusion.
Most people in the entire workshop looked at Long Lin's hand in confusion, and their eyes fell on the word that fell out.
No one spoke, everyone just stared.
Time passed slowly and no one spoke.
After a long time, one person among the crowd suddenly jumped up excitedly.
"Oh, why didn't I think of that?"
In his excitement, this man rushed out without caring about the people around him.
While everyone was stunned, they snatched the word from Long Lin's hand.
This happened suddenly, and everyone in the room was instantly shocked.
The rest of the people didn't understand at all. Is this kid suddenly crazy?
The little old man in charge here was frightened on the spot. Oh my God, who is this kid? Is he looking for death? How dare he steal something from His Highness?
