After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

After the birth of hemp paper, workshops in the Northland became busy.

of course.

Before the large-scale production of hemp paper, the identities of all craftsmen and slaves in the workshop were specially determined to ensure that they would not reveal the paper-making process.

At the same time, the ink painters headed by Chen Hui and Chen Ye were still researching ways to produce higher quality paper.

When Jin Yan first talked about "paper", although they thought it was novel, they didn't know that such a thing could really be made.

Now that the hemp paper has been made, is the other paper still far away?

Everyone's heart is full of hope.

They must make better paper, break the monopoly of books by aristocratic families, and let everyone in the world have books to read!

As long as the people read and are literate, they will understand a lot of truths. It will not be so easy for the superiors to fool them.

The ink artist was so busy that he didn't even have time to sit down and drink tea. But as the "inventor" of paper, Jin Yan didn't have any leisure time.

After Zhong Xing came back, Princess Jinyang arranged a family banquet and invited some people whom Xiao Buyi trusted very much.

Chen Hui and Chen Ye, who made hemp paper, and several outstanding craftsmen were also invited.

As soon as the family banquet began, Princess Jinyang asked Zhang An to serve "hemp paper". Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

Paper?

Paper that can be used to write on instead of wooden slips?

Zhang An brought a lot of paper. Those people looked at the four words "Guotai Minan" written by Jin Yan. While praising Jin Yan for having great ambitions for the world, they couldn't help but pick up a pen and write down their own aspirations on it.

It won't smear, is not easy to break, is cheaper than silk, and is lighter than wooden slips. This is simply a priceless treasure born for knowledge!

"Your Highness, paper is a thing whose benefit lies in the present, but its success lies in the future!"

"My dear master, you have done something big enough to be famous throughout the ages!"

"My lord is smart and dexterous, and cares about the world. He is a blessing to the North and the whole world!"

The more everyone talked, the deeper and deeper Princess Jinyang's smile became.

Not to mention Zhong Xing, if he wasn't worried that going too far would bring danger to Jin Yan, he would have wanted to publicize the beauty of Jin Yan's paper and Xiao Yan'er's achievements in a big way!

It would be best if Xiao Yaner could become the auspicious sign of the North Land and the world, so that everyone in the world only knows the North Land but not the court!

but.

In this way, Xiao Yan'er's reputation will be too great, which will arouse the fear of the court.

Now is not the best time, and the power of the north cannot fight against the court. If the court issues an edict asking Xiao Yan'er to go to the capital as a hostage, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, Zhong Xing quickly stepped forward to stop those people and successfully changed the topic.

In the middle of the family dinner, Xiao Jinan, who had already eaten, had already begun to rush around the room, while Xiao Buyi, Zhong Xing and the others were discussing how to use paper as a medium to spread knowledge to the world.

There are thousands of books in the world, and most of them are collected by aristocratic families. If you don't have access, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to get a glimpse of the books.

But this matter is easy to solve.

As long as cruel means are used, I believe that those aristocratic families that can always make self-protection choices at historical turning points will be able to make the right decision.

But the question is, once you have a collection of books, how to spread them?

Rely on copying?

Although the emergence of paper solved some of the disadvantages of using bamboo slips, in what year and month can all those books be copied by hand?

The amount of this project is really too large.

While everyone was discussing intensely, Xiao Jinan ran to Jin Yan and nervously grabbed Jin Yan's hand, "Sister, don't touch the knife!"

After saying that, he shouted at Princess Jinyang, Xiao Buyi and others, "Mom, eldest brother, second brother, cousin, sister is playing with a knife!"

With a loud voice, he went out, and the entire family dinner fell silent.

Afterwards, Princess Jinyang, who was giving Zhang An some instructions, and Xiao Buyi, who was having a heated argument with the retainer, both looked at Jin Yan.

"Yan, don't touch the knife." Xiao Buyi said.

Zhong Xing glanced at Xiao Buyu and then coaxed Jin Yan gently, "Xiao Yan'er, knives are very dangerous. Whatever you want to do, ask your brother to help you."

Xiao Quji: "Brother, help you."

Only Xiao Jinan looked around the table curiously.

"Hey, sister, are you carving words?"

Xiao Jinan curiously picked up a square piece of wood with the word "国" engraved on it.

He picked up a few more pieces and saw the seven characters "Tai", "Min", "An", "Feng", "Tiao", "Yu" and "Shun" respectively engraved on them.

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is good?"

Everyone else was thoughtful. Xiao Jinan asked directly, "Sister, is this also for me to play with?"

Jin Yan was a little helpless.

What else does this little fool know besides playing?

She called Zhang An, "Uncle, bring me two pieces of paper."

Zhang An immediately sent over two pieces of paper.

He spread the hemp paper on the table, knelt down again, pressed the hemp paper with his hand, "Master, do you want to write?"

Jin Yan said: "Yes and no."

Zhang An didn't know why.

Jin Yan asked someone to send ink pads again.

She dyed the small squares engraved with "good weather, good weather, peaceful country and people's peace" on the ink pad one by one, then sorted them one by one and left these eight words on the hemp paper.

At this time, Princess Jinyang, Xiao Buyi, Xiao Quji, Zhong Xing and others had already surrounded Jin Yan.

As family members, Princess Jinyang and the others know Jin Yan best and know that she has never been playful and everything she does has special meaning.

This time Jin Yan played with a knife in front of everyone, so there must be some deep meaning.

When the eight characters "Good weather, prosperity, peace and prosperity for the country and the people" were neatly arranged on the hemp paper, they seemed to realize something, but they still didn't understand what Jin Yan was going to do.

But Chen Ye of the Mo family seemed to have spied on an incredible secret, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

Jin Yan glanced at him, then lowered his head, reordered the eight words, and then printed them on the hemp paper one by one.

Soon, she arranged and combined these eight characters to print a piece of hemp paper full of characters.

At this time, Chen Hui also reacted. Like Chen Ye, his face turned red with excitement, and even his beard was trembling up and down.

Some people still didn't understand what he meant, "My lord, what do you want to tell us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Xing called him a fool.

Zhong Xing was extremely talented and very arrogant. There were very few scholars in the North who had not been scolded by him.

Many people even began to feel proud of being scolded by Zhong Xing.

Although he saw the clues, he was unwilling to steal Jin Yan's limelight. Instead, he looked at Jin Yan and let Jin Yan speak for himself.

Princess Jinyang and the others are the same.

Jin Yan sighed helplessly and had to briefly explain the printing technique, "Just like what I just carved, if you can carve out all the commonly used characters, and then arrange and combine them one by one according to the content to be printed, you can quickly expand the printing technology. Print the content of an entire book, split it after printing, and then arrange it in other ways to print other books, so you can save labor costs.”

Everyone was so shocked by her that they were speechless.

Jin Yan yawned.

After the hemp paper was made, she asked craftsmen to make these squares out of some useless wood, just to introduce printing.

She was already very tired from carving so many words.

The rest is not up to him.

Everyone also noticed her sleepiness and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Princess Jinyang went over, picked up Jin Yan, and told everyone, "You and the Mohist should carefully discuss the matter of printing the book. You must do it well. Don't let your sister down! Don't let the people down!"

Xiao Buyi and others bowed down one after another.

"Son, remember this!"

"Please remember this! Don't forget it!"

Xiao Jinan was printing words on his face, and when he saw this, he also learned to bend down and bow.

"An, come with me."

Princess Jinyang hugged Jin Yan and left with her silly son Xiao Jinan who had the words "Guotai Minan" printed on his face.

But everything about printing has just begun.

Has everyone gone home?

Happy New Year's Eve!

I wish you all a Happy New Year! Good luck in the Year of the Dragon! All the best! May all your wishes come true!

Everyone should be happy~
