After all, they are people who traveled from another time.

What's in his head is far beyond what people in this world can compare to.

He then dictated the information, and Shang Rong took notes on his behalf.

The first step is called "Chopping Bamboo and Drifting in the Pond".

As the name suggests, it involves cutting down bamboo and then chopping it into small pieces.

It was then immediately soaked in the pond.

Its main purpose is to soften the bamboo fibers.

After soaking until soft, you can use tools to crush the softened bamboo.

The second step is to boil the glutinous rice for fire!

It's basically just burning firewood to boil these crushed bamboo stalks.

The crushed bamboo is boiled until it is thoroughly broken down, which completely separates the bamboo fibers until it becomes a thick pulp. This step is considered a success.

The third step is the crucial one: pouring the material into the curtain.

This step is a very important and crucial one.

The main process is to transform the cooled pulp into paper film.

Insert a flat bamboo screen, slightly tilted, into the pulp water.

Then, a thin layer of pulp water was scooped up and the excess water was filtered out.

This pulp water will eventually turn into paper film.

This step is very important because it relates to the quality of the paper produced.

It also puts the craftsmen's professional skills to a considerable test.

Only highly skilled and experienced individuals can produce uniform paper films.

The fourth step is to cover the curtain and press down the paper.

It involves stacking these paper models one by one.

Then they pressed it down firmly with heavy objects.

Then squeeze out the water from the paper film.

It also allows the paper film to take shape.

The fifth step is to dry it thoroughly in a fire.

This step is actually quite simple.

As the name suggests, it involves using a small fire to dry the paper.

By completing these five steps, you will be able to produce a complete sheet of paper.

The ministers naturally took careful notes of Ye Xuan's description.

After all, this is the key to making paper.

When Ye Xuan finished speaking, the ministers finally realized what had happened.

They all heard it clearly and distinctly.

After figuring these things out, many ministers showed even more admiration for Ye Xuan.

His Human Emperor has come up with such a solution.

This was something they really hadn't expected.

For them, it was a truly eye-opening experience.

Once this method of papermaking was known, even ordinary, less skilled people could produce it.

Seeing that the civil and military officials acted like country bumpkins who had never seen the world, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile faintly.

There was also a faint sense of satisfaction in my heart.

He liked the way these people were so naive and unsophisticated.

Simply showing them the papermaking process is enough to amaze them like this.

What happened next will surely shock them!

Ye Xuan took a deep breath.

He then spoke again.

"Some time ago, I went on an incognito visit, mainly to check on the people's conditions in Chaoge."

But in the end, an unexpected situation was discovered.

"That's because the book I painstakingly created some time ago has a large number of errors when it's circulated in the market."

"This is definitely not a good sign. Even Chaoge, the imperial city, is in this state."

"Wouldn't these books be riddled with flaws when they actually spread throughout the world?"

"Wouldn't this make it a force that harms the country and its people?"

After much thought and consideration, I finally found the reason.

"Because in this world today, literate people are still a minority."

Even literate people can easily make mistakes when faced with some uncommon characters.

"If this continues, the number of errors during copying will likely increase."

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Therefore, after much solitary contemplation, he finally came up with a solution."

"This method is actually movable type printing."

Upon hearing this,

The ministers exchanged bewildered glances.

Movable type printing?

What the heck is this?

From the name alone, they had no idea what it was.

I only felt a sense of profound mystery that was difficult to fathom.

The ministers exchanged bewildered glances, but finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"Your Majesty, what is movable type printing?"

Could you explain this to us in detail?

In their hearts, Ye Xuan had now become omnipotent.

The movable type printing technique mentioned today is probably something magical.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

He then waved.

Wushuang was behind Ye Xuan, quickly took out some strange and unusual items.

There was a small, perfectly square box.

The box contained a large number of small cubes.

These small cubes are all engraved with some text.

However, all the text is reversed.

It's quite puzzling.

Then Wushuang took out a "Harmony" plate.

Then, a large number of small squares were placed on the "Harmony" plate.

After the arrangement is complete.

The clip on top is fastened.

These small cubes were then fixed in place.

Then Wushuang took an ink cartridge.

I dipped this inkstone into the ink box.

Then, align it with the paper and press down gently.

When this huge dial with dials was taken away.

The paper was already covered with text.

Furthermore, each character in the text was exceptionally elegant and beautiful.

Countless characters were neatly arranged on this piece of paper.

"Let him be strong, the Qingfeng Foshan Hill."

"Everyone has their own unique talents, and though I may spend all my wealth, it will return."

"To live, be a hero; to die, a ghost of valor."

"---------"

The words were clearly printed on the paper.

Upon seeing this, the ministers were immediately in an uproar.

This paper is covered with densely printed text.

Furthermore, every single character is extremely dignified and beautiful.

It was actually printed directly onto paper?

Many of the ministers were exceptionally intelligent.

Naturally, they clearly saw the advantages of movable type printing.

I also understood the principle behind this so-called movable type printing technology.

It means that all the text was pre-made as reverse typefaces.

Then, simply select these items according to the needs of the text.

Then arrange them in order on the character plate.

Then apply ink, or dip it in ink.

Then it can be printed.

This printing technique.

Primarily for facilitating mass printing.

Send some people to arrange the plates according to the contents of the book.

Mass printing could then begin.

If the number of type trays and the amount of paper are sufficient.

Hundreds or even thousands of books can be printed in a single day.

Furthermore, books printed in this way are without any errors.

It saves time and effort, is convenient, and is unlikely to make mistakes.

It's an absolutely terrifyingly good treasure.

If this technology were to be put into use...

Therefore, the books produced by His Human Emperor the Emperor will surely spread throughout the world in a very short time.

At that time, everyone will be able to benefit from creation; it is indeed an incredibly magical invention.

Everyone showed admiration for the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor had even thought of such a method.

It's truly unbelievable.

They had no idea what was going on in His Human Emperor's head.
