This is not the roar of a machine, this is the sound made when a large amount of spiritual energy is absorbed by the magic weapon.
Since a large number of books were sold out, Jun Chengyu and others came here to inspect it in person, and then he saw Jiang Hua guarding here.
"My lord, this is truly a prosperous age for culture and education!"
"Indeed, this is indeed a grand event!" Jun Weiyan nodded, put the book in his arms and hid it directly. Then, he picked up another book and continued to read.
Jiang Hua was speechless when he saw the skillful Jun Wei Yan. This is why Jiang Hua wanted to take charge of this place personally.
To be honest, Yancheng's defense of the printing factory is not lax. There are more than ten Taoist priests and hundreds of warlocks in front and behind the printing factory in front of us. The surrounding formations are continuous and always on.
Here, when a Taoist priest comes, he will only be suppressed by layers of formations, just like ordinary people.
Only those who carry special tokens can move freely within the formation.
It stands to reason that this level of protection must be no problem.
As for the Taoist priest, I can't guard against him!
Totally unpreventable!
The cost of guarding against Taoist priests is too high, and it is usually just a small secret room. If you want to fully defend against Taoist priests in a factory of this size, the cost is extremely high, and the gain outweighs the loss.
More importantly, books and papermaking cannot be kept secret!
Unless Yancheng never takes out the books from the beginning, once they are used on a large scale, the relevant technology will definitely be lost and stolen!
Those Qi refiners, once they get serious, can even master such complicated magic weapons, and can also learn so many complicated Taoist techniques. Jiang Hua doesn't think that mere papermaking can defeat them, especially when they have it in their hands.
After having books as reference.
Is papermaking difficult?
In fact, it's not difficult. Once you have the sample, all that's left is to imitate the sample.
The only difference is how long it takes and how much cost you are willing to invest.
But it is obvious that papermaking is not difficult for any vassal state. Those with a little foresight will directly master the relevant technologies of papermaking and improve it.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, I never thought that this paper factory and printing factory could guard against Taoist priests.
However, the relevant protection is not too low. Although Yancheng will take the initiative to disclose papermaking technology sooner or later, this does not mean that any cat or dog can steal the relevant technology.
But such a tight formation cannot defend one's own people.
It’s not that in such a short period of time, people inside and outside colluded to sell related technologies, but that senior officials came to rob them under various banners!
For example, Jun Chengyu came over personally and said that he wanted to review these books again to see if there were any deficiencies. In this name, he directly took away tens of thousands of books, pulled them by car, and then used them as welfare rewards.
It was given to some small officials who work hard on weekdays.
This time, all the people rewarded by Jun Chengyu were minor officials.
Moreover, this move indeed greatly improved the enthusiasm of those petty officials.
This is certainly a good thing for Yancheng!
But it didn't take long for Jun Weiyan to hear about it, and then he went directly to the formal route, built a military camp nearby, and mobilized 500 Taoist soldiers. He said that today's printing and paper mills are too important, but
The guard strength is too weak, so I don't feel confident at all.
When Jun Weiyan left, he also took tens of thousands of books with him...
Facing the two men's fierce competition, Dr. Qiuyang couldn't stop him at all!
"My lord, you know me well. Although I moved tens of thousands of books from here, I didn't hide any of them. I distributed them all to the lower-level sons and daughters. They are all very happy now.
." Jun Weiyan took the initiative to explain.
"My lord, I actually wanted to print some books, but I didn't know if my lord had any arrangements, so I didn't tell Dr. Qiuyang." Jun Chengyu suddenly changed the subject.
Not to mention, his new topic was also what Jiang Hua wanted to say.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua looked at Taoist Changkong beside him: "Uncle Master, why did you come here?"
"Hey, I don't actually lack these, but my subordinates all want them. Many members of the Daofa team used to risk their lives for the great cause of Yancheng. Now they ask me to use the back door, and I am embarrassed to refuse, so
Just come over."
"However, I don't plan to take away the books directly. I am just studying these magic weapons. Now that I have seen them almost, I will make a copy near the big library when I get back. If necessary, I will make paper and print it in-house.
"
Jiang Hua nodded slightly to express understanding.
"Uncle Yu, Uncle Yan, Uncle Master, in fact, if these books are opened, they can also do it."
"The relevant magic weapons are not complicated. If you want to increase production, you only need to temporarily recruit some Taoists."
"As long as you tell those Taoists that if you participate in this recruitment, you will have the right to purchase the books after they are produced in the future, there will be many Taoists who are willing to come and work for free."
"But I didn't do that. The reason is very simple. There is a saying that you can't read a book unless you borrow it!"
"If we supply it on a large scale right from the start, it won't attract so many people's attention."
"If there is an unlimited supply from the beginning, every household will soon have dozens of books. They will cherish them at first, but they will change after a while."
"However, all this will change in three days. I originally planned to open the supply after seven days, but now it seems that it will still be three days. In three days, every town will have at least one library, which is responsible for selling
Book."
"Since you are all here, it means that you still have quite a lot of free time. In this case, please come over and study."
As he said that, Jiang Hua waved his hand, and tens of thousands of bamboo slips appeared in front of him: "Some of the contents of these bamboo slips can be directly copied into books for sale to the outside world, and some contents are not suitable for direct sale to the outside world."
"I originally planned to take some young people with me to review it together. Since Uncle Yu, Uncle Yan and my uncles are all here, we will work overtime together and review it!"
…
Don't leave once you're here, we all work overtime together!
Then I started working overtime until late at night.
Jiang Hua put down the bamboo slips he was reviewing early, built a bonfire, and then asked someone to place a large pot on it.
Seeing this, Jun Weiyan also put down the bamboo slips he was reviewing, took the kitchen knife directly from the chef's hand and started to cut the meat. The meat he cut was very thin, and after cutting it, he started to spread sauce on the meat.
Prepare for roasting.
Immediately, Jun Chengyu also put down the bamboo slips in his hand. He looked at the big pot and said with a smile: "Add spices and oil first. Many Chinese medicines can actually be eaten as seasonings. Let's see my skills!"
Finally, Taoist Changkong also put down the bamboo slips in his hand. Looking at the busy three people, Taoist Changkong thought for a while and took out a spiritual fruit, and cast a spell to create some fresh ice cubes. After a while, a large number of spiritual springs were
Added in.
Some people are still working overtime, such as the members of the cabinet. Although there are few people attending the banquet in front of them and the standard is not high enough, they all want to join in. However, they also know that near this big iron pot,
There is no seat for them!
Jiang Hua was washing vegetables slowly, and while washing, he said: "Although these vegetables are not spiritual roots, they are the first batch of large-scale off-season crops on Dongning Island."
"This technology was also invented by a Taoist man with an idea."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but smile.
As long as you guide them in the right direction, the talents displayed by these Taoists are enough to shock the world.
"Actually, this is just a warlock."
"Last winter, the warlock went home to celebrate the New Year, but found that the dishes on the table were mainly pickles, pickles and pickles. He didn't like it very much, but there were very few fresh vegetables in the market. After all, in the past,
, fresh vegetables in winter are all preserved in advance using Taoist methods, and most people cannot afford them."
"After the Chinese New Year, this Taoist has been thinking about whether he can grow vegetables in winter."
"Later, he checked the information and found that in ancient times, some people planted vegetables near hot springs. Even in winter, they could successfully grow vegetables."
"Then he started researching what the cause was."
"Eventually, he figured out the cause was temperature."
Temperature is also a new word that was just defined in the past six months.
In today's Yancheng, new words are born every day, and new standards are born. Many people write in their journals and make up a new word, and explain it in detail at the end of the journal. So many people
When people look at periodicals, their first reaction nowadays is to turn to the end to see how many new words have been coined in this periodical.
But fortunately, Yancheng's writing has also developed from the writing of the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone still has the ability to interpret the meaning of words. There are many new words, and you can guess the general meaning just by looking at them.
"After a series of experiments, he succeeded and successfully grew big radishes in winter!"
"After obtaining these radishes, he brought the relevant technology to the prefect's mansion. The batch of fresh vegetables in front of him were not grown right now, but produced using this new technology. Therefore, many of them were grown in autumn and summer.
Mature.”
"Although the quality is not as good as the spiritual fruits we usually eat, it is still a fresh taste."
Hearing this, Jun Chengyu nodded while frying the bottom of the pot: "It's the same here. This method of frying the bottom of the pot is actually an invention of the people on the island in recent months."
"At the beginning, it was close to noon when every citizen came ashore. In order to allow these people to recover, we would get some animal meat and bones, make some soup, and add some spiritual springs for the people to eat and drink.
.”
"At that time, the people had just taken a boat ride for nearly a day and a night, and they ate dry food and porridge on the boat. After landing, they ate hot meat and drank broth, so many people fell in love with this kind of food.
Law."
"Then it was time to open up wasteland. During the time of land reclamation, there were many people working together to open up wasteland, so some people took the initiative to buy big iron pots and eat in such big pots."
"After eating too much in the big pot, some people think that the meat in Yancheng is not expensive, so they occasionally start to buy some meat as a gift."
"In the end, gradually, some people felt that adding some grass or other medicinal materials can make the big pot of food taste better."
Speaking of this, Jun Chengyu took a piece of grass and showed it to everyone: "This kind of grass can be seen almost everywhere on Dongning Island, and it cannot be eaten, but when added to the soup, it can make the pot cook better."
The bottom is even more delicious!”
Jun Weiyan did not speak, but silently sliced the meat, then spread the sauce on it, and finally hung it on the bonfire to start grilling.
After a while, several people started eating.
There was no particular etiquette, just eating around the big iron pot in front of me and the barbecue next to it.
"Papermaking is very important, but it is difficult to hide it. Once it is exposed, it will soon spread throughout the world. However, this is a cultural and educational event."
"Although it cannot directly bring much benefit to Yancheng, it can bring huge prestige. Taking this opportunity, we can build a school book office to review books and compile books."
"With paper, a lot of knowledge that was originally very simple can be explained in large quantities."
"In the past, limited by bamboo slips, a lot of knowledge was very concise and without punctuation. Although there were sentence readings, the sentence readings had to be interpreted by a teacher, and the sentence readings were not clear and there were no unified regulations. The same sentence,
Because there are no punctuation marks, there may be one standard for each place."
"We will take this opportunity to introduce punctuation marks, and then by interpreting the classics, we will give the classics an opportunity to divide punctuation marks and gather a group of talents."
"Of course, the most important thing is to take this opportunity to gain some of the power to influence public opinion around the world."
"Just like this time, Thousand-Character Essays and Shuowen Jiezi are actually works that can occupy the right to speak."
"In today's world, there is no writing that can be used throughout the world. Even the writing used by Emperor Zhou in Luoyang in the past is still used by only a handful of people today."
"Almost every vassal state has its own writing, almost every vassal state has its own currency, and almost every vassal state has its own weights and measures!"
"This phenomenon is actually not conducive to cultural exchanges between countries, and is not conducive to the spread of many things."
“And what I’m thinking about is whether I can take advantage of this opportunity to achieve unified writing and unification of weights and measures on a small scale!”
"Our journals have been published all over the country, and the words in them are all written in Yancheng. The weights and measures in the journals are also the weights and measures newly stipulated and newly defined in Yancheng in recent times."
"In a sense, when others read our journals every day, they are subconsciously accepting Yancheng's words and Yancheng's current weights and measures!"
"Now, with papermaking, the next step is the printing of a large number of books."
"I hope that our books in Yancheng can be published to the whole world as much as possible. By then, although they will not be regarded as true books with the same text, nor truly unified weights and measures, they can silently influence the world and make more and more people
Many people are familiar with this kind of writing and the weights and measures of our Yancheng!"
"Although this is still far from a truly unified text, currency, weights and measures, this move will definitely be beneficial to the development of the entire human race!"
"I congratulate you, Your Majesty!" At this moment, Jun Chengyu's excited tone even trembled.
"I never believed in the existence of the Lord of Destiny in the past, but now I really believe it!" Taoist Changkong sighed in surprise.
"Me too!" After thinking for a long time, Jun Weiyan added.
The unification of words, currency, weights and measures, what Zheng Ge did was the biggest contributor to the great unification. But I don’t know since when, many people subconsciously put the credit for the great unification on Confucianism, and said that without Confucianism, there would be no Great Unification.
