The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

The emergence of printers had the greatest impact on the literati of all dynasties.

As educated people, they naturally know best what a printer means.

You know, books are particularly important to scholars. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the source of their power.

The reason why they were able to become scholars and hold power that was beyond the reach of ordinary people was that they were deeply respected by the world.

It all depends on that they gained knowledge from books and then passed the imperial examinations to become officials in the court.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that all the power of these scholars is closely related to books.

Not only do the scholars know the importance of books, but ordinary people also know this.

As the saying goes, everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only quality.

If possible, ordinary people naturally hope to have a scholar in the family so that they can bring honor to the family.

In fact, ordinary people also very much hope to be able to afford the cost of their sons' education, but unfortunately the cost of education is not something ordinary people can afford.

The biggest expense in studying is the cost of buying books.

The cost of a book requires ordinary people to work for several months without eating or drinking.

This is also why there are so few people who read books.

Only those with affluent family background can afford the expenses of studying, while it is difficult for ordinary families to give birth to scholars.

It is precisely because they clearly know how difficult it is to study that they are so shocked by the printer.

Following the printer demonstrated in the video, they naturally understood how easy it would be to make a book.

If we buy more printers and work them non-stop all day long, wouldn't it be possible to produce books endlessly?

As a result, there will be a large number of books on the market, far more than before.

As scholars, their love for books is self-evident.

If there are more books, they will benefit greatly and this is naturally welcome.

After all, although they are not short of money, they cannot buy books on the market whenever they want.

Due to the difficulty in producing books and the fact that books are in short supply, they are in a dilemma where they cannot buy books even if they have money.

Precisely because of the scarcity of books, copying books was a common practice among these scholars.

If a family has a collection of good books, they will borrow them and copy them again.

It is conceivable that even though they were scholars, books were not available to them whenever they wanted.

But now with the advent of printers, the scarcity of books will be greatly improved.

They believed that it would not be long before a large variety of books would appear on the market, far richer than before.

In this way, they can buy whatever books they want when the time comes.

After all, with printers running at full capacity, books will no longer be scarce, but will become common goods with good quality and low price.

Until this moment, they, the scholars, deeply understood what the host said.

Indeed, the emergence of printers will greatly promote education across the country.

By then, as books become more popular, more and more readers will inevitably emerge.

After all, books have become common commodities, and ordinary people will buy some to educate their children.

Although some scholars are worried that if there are too many scholars in the future, their transcendent status will decline, which will in turn affect their own power.

But more scholars are happy to see this, after all, it is their greatest wish that everyone can afford to read.

Now with the advent of printers, the price of books will drop significantly, and this great wish will become possible.

Liu Che: The printer arrives at the right time. My educational plan can be accelerated.

Watching the magical functions of the printer demonstrated in the video, the happiest person would be an ambitious emperor like him.

Before the sky curtain appeared, he already had the ambition to achieve something great.

After the sky curtain appears, the more you understand, the more you gain.

His ambitions are far greater than ever before, and he is determined to make the Han Dynasty far more glorious than the Tang Dynasty.

With the Dahan Library and the items he bought from the anchor, he was very confident that he could do this.

But at the same time, he was also very clear that he wanted to create a grand Han Dynasty.

He can't do it alone, he needs more talented people to help him.

If we want to cultivate more talents, we need to vigorously develop education across the country.

Precisely because he knew the importance of talent and education, the most important thing for him during this period was to develop education across the country.

The anchor has taught simplified Chinese characters before, and many people across the country followed suit and learned it.

Although this has greatly promoted the country's education, the effect is ultimately limited.

After all, simply learning Chinese characters from Tianmu is far less effective than having a teacher teach you in person in class.

Therefore, in order to carry out education across the country as quickly as possible, the top priority is to obtain a large number of books and teaching materials.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Dahan Library, he has ordered people to work overtime to copy more books and textbooks.

The source of paper is naturally the papermaking technique taught by the host, and the technology used is the movable type printing technique taught by the host.

But even with the invention of papermaking and movable type printing, the printing of books and textbooks still progressed very slowly.

According to the report from his subordinates, it would take at least ten days to half a month to completely copy a book in the Han Library.

This is the result of the concerted efforts of many craftsmen, otherwise it would take more time.

The reason why the efficiency is so slow is very simple.

Whether it is papermaking or movable type printing.

For Dahan, these are all new things and he needs to spend a lot of time to get familiar with them.

Unlike later dynasties that already had papermaking and movable type printing, it was much easier for them to copy a book.

He was originally worried about this matter, fearing that the efficiency of photocopying books was too low and not knowing when he would be able to photocopy enough books and teaching materials.

But now with the appearance of the printer, his worries were resolved and he was naturally overjoyed.

Printers are so efficient at copying that it is a piece of cake to copy a book.

If we can buy as many printers as possible, then books and textbooks will be printed out continuously.

Just thinking about that scene made him excited.

He knew exactly what those books and textbooks represented, and he would surely be able to develop education across the country as soon as possible.

In this way, talent training programs can also be put on the agenda.

But what surprised him even more was that the printouts from the printer in the video were actually in color.

This was indeed extremely magical, but when he thought that the books in the Han Library were also in color, he felt relieved.

In fact, he was not the only one who noticed this. Many people in all dynasties also discovered this amazing phenomenon.

Li Shimin looked at the colored paper printed out in the video thoughtfully, and an idea popped up in his mind.

Seeing everyone attracted by the printer, Su Chen nodded silently.

Compared with other commodities, printers are particularly important.

After all, he also knew how book printing was done in ancient times, and a printer was a powerful weapon for printing books.

It is not difficult to say that for dynasties with mature movable type printing, the role of printers is even greater for those dynasties that are far away. He believes that with the blessing of printers, the education of each dynasty will be greatly promoted.

Suddenly, Su Chen saw that many people had questions about the printer.

"As for the electricity issue that everyone is concerned about, the solar panels donated to everyone before can provide a steady supply of electricity."

When people see that printers also need electricity to power them, they worry about what to do if there is no electricity.

Su Chen was not too worried about this problem.

When electric cars were sold previously, they were given free solar panels to supplement the power, so electricity was not a big problem.

Then Su Chen added another sentence.

"For those dynasties that had libraries, simple generators could be made. The libraries contained relevant books."

The books in the library cover everything, naturally including the production of generators.

Making a simple generator is not a difficult problem. With the capabilities of ancient people, there are ways to solve it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the emperors of the ten dynasties that had libraries looked delighted.

Since there are books introducing generators, it is easy. We can always make one by pooling our ideas.

This way, you don’t have to worry about electricity problems in the future.

Seeing that everyone had no questions, Su Chen officially started selling goods.

"The host has prepared 10,000 printers for everyone. They will be sold in sets of 100 printers. Each set is priced at 100,000 taels of silver."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people from all dynasties started arguing.

They already knew the wonders of the printer and were eager to snap up one.

But now one hundred printers are sold in packages, and the price is as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver.

In this case, they will have no chance of owning a printer.

After all, one hundred thousand taels of silver is an astronomical figure, and there are very few people who can come up with so much silver.

With this restriction, they had no chance to buy the printer at all.

As the saying goes, when some people are sad, others are happy.

Ordinary people naturally have sad faces, but emperors of various dynasties are indeed smiling.

Printers are such a good thing that they originally wanted to buy as many as possible, the more the better.

It would naturally be beneficial for them to sell 100 printers directly now.

After all, as emperors, they have no worries about not being able to grab it.

Now a set of 100 printers is sold, which means they will definitely be able to buy 100 printers.

Su Chen had his reasons for not selling them one by one.

The greatest help that printers provided to ancient times was the promotion of the development of education.

Only in the hands of ancient emperors could printers play their greatest role and copy huge numbers of books.

"Printer, one set for 100,000 taels of silver. Three, two, one, connect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who had already prepared themselves started rushing to buy.

Almost in the blink of an eye, 10,000 printers were sold out.

Due to its high price, not everyone can afford it, and those who participated in the rush to buy it were almost all emperors and generals of various dynasties.

As expected, those who finally bought the tickets were all big names with great reputations.

Wei Zheng: Congratulations, Your Majesty. Our Tang Dynasty now has a printer, and the people of the world are blessed.

Fang Xuanling: Lord Wei is absolutely right. With a printer, more ordinary people will be able to afford books.

Li Shimin looked at the printers piled in front of him with curiosity. He had already been sure that he would get one, so he was not too excited.

But the printer is here, and it would be a shame not to experience it for yourself.

He immediately asked someone to unpack a printer and connect it to the power supply.

Then he asked someone to bring a colored landscape painting and put it into the printer.

After some operations, in just a few moments, the exact same colored landscape painting was copied.

Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions when looking at the two identical color landscape paintings.

Li Shimin: If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that the printer was so magical.

Not to mention Li Shimin, other important officials present were also very happy.

"Okay, those who have already bought the printer can find time to explore it carefully. Now we will proceed to the final lottery."

After selling all the goods, there is a final draw to see who is the lucky winner.

Then everyone put down what they were doing and focused all their attention on the anchor.

"Everyone get ready, the lottery will begin now."

As the countdown ends, the final lucky winner is revealed.

"Congratulations to the lucky winner, it's Yang Yuhuan of the Tang Dynasty. Concubine Yang can ask a question."

When the results came out, Su Chen was not too surprised.

After all, Yang Yuhuan is one of the four great beauties in ancient times and one of the most famous women in ancient times.

With the unexpected surprise, Yang Yuhuan quickly asked the questions she had already thought of.

"Host, I want to know how to avoid a tragic ending. Please show me a way."

When the host introduced Emperor Xuanzong before, he mentioned the news of her death at Mawei Slope.

The moment she heard the ending, she was extremely panicked and was constantly trying to find ways to avoid such a tragic ending.

Since the host just mentioned it casually before, there is not much useful information.

As a result, she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, and didn't know how to avoid the tragedy.

Moreover, ever since the appearance of the sky curtain, all historical processes have deviated, and she doesn't know whether the Mawei Incident will happen again.

But no matter what, it's better to be prepared.

Li Longji: My beloved, don’t worry. As long as I am here, such a thing will never happen again.

He held Yang Guifei tightly in his arms and comforted her frightened heart.

Su Chen also expressed deep sympathy for Yang Guifei's problem.

Such a weak woman has suffered too much criticism.

When the Tang Dynasty was strong, she was the pride of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty declined, she became a scapegoat.

"The host knows the concubine's question and will tell her the answer tomorrow night."

"It's getting late. Tomorrow's schedule is still the same. Watch a movie in the afternoon and deliver goods live in the evening."

“That’s it for tonight’s live broadcast, good night everyone, goodbye.”

Su Chen ended the broadcast immediately after he finished speaking. The ancients from various dynasties under the sky were still discussing with great interest. (End of this chapter)
