"Qiao'er, what you just said, the thing that will make your father famous throughout the ages and our Su family famous throughout the ages, are you referring to which article above?"
"Yes, sister, tell me quickly." Even Su Yichen paid great attention to this matter.
Su Qiao didn't hesitate, opened the book, and found the article by Printing Technique: "Master, dad, brother, look at this."
"This article is about Printing Technique, which is to print the text on paper and then bind it into a booklet."
"Today's books are copied word by word with a brush and then bound into books, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you copy a wrong word, you have to rewrite it, which is a waste of pen and ink, time and energy, and most importantly, it is very slow."
"This has also led to the fact that the books circulating outside are not only horribly expensive, but also in very small quantities. Many poor families cannot afford to go to school, and many students cannot afford or even buy books."
"As long as we figure out this kind of technology, all of this will be solved."
Su Qiao explained it simply and easily, and everyone understood it immediately. There is a way to print books very quickly without having to copy them word by word.
And they can use this method to produce a lot of books to sell.
The old man did not expect that there was such a way. "This... this is indeed a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it can also make our family famous throughout the ages."
Su Yaohui stared at the short description carefully, read it several times, and frowned:
"Qiao'er, the processes above are very complicated and profound. We don't understand anything about reverse engraving or clay."
Su Yichen and Su Yihe were also confused.
Su Qiao made an understatement Underground Passage: "I have roughly figured this out, and the mold is basically ready, otherwise I would not dare to tell you about it today."
Next, you only need to add some rosin to the clay, calcine it to make various calligraphy stamps, and then add ink to print.
"Is this true?"
"Sister, have you really figured it out?"
All of a sudden, all three Su Yaohui screamed.
The old man knocked the table hard with his copper smoke stalk. "Don't shout, let Qiao'er speak slowly."
"It's true, I just lack practical operations now."
"Also, besides this, I have a plan."
"After Movable Type Printing Technique is released, I will make a copy of Tianyuan Dictionary."
Movable Type Printing is just the beginning. Next, Su Qiao will start with the dictionary as a stepping stone to produce a variety of books, industrial agriculture, picture albums, etc.
"What is a dictionary?"
Su Qiao explained Xinhua Dictionary simply.
"Currently, our Tianyuan Kingdom, or even other countries, have never had a book that allows you to learn from Pinyin and check out the explanations. If it can be made, it will be a great innovation and will be convenient for countless students to check."
Su Qiao After explaining, there was no sound for a while in the room.
The old man was stunned for a while, regained his composure, and managed to calm down Underground Passage: "If this... this Tianyuan Dictionary can really be made, plus your Movable Type Printing Technique, it will be a great thing that will benefit the country and the people and shock the whole country."
"However, the dictionary takes a long time and cannot be completed in a short while."
Su Yaohui father and son also nodded solemnly.
Su Qiao tapped his fingers on the table and pondered for a moment, "This is my plan."
"Divide this dictionary into two volumes. Let's make the characters we know first, and then borrow some books and make the characters on them as the first volume. Let's take our time with the remaining volumes."
