Seeing everyone's expressions of disbelief, the corners of Ying Yu's mouth raised slightly.

I just like to see you like this, as you have never seen the world.

He cleared his throat, took a sip of tea and continued:

"This technique can produce thousands of books in one day. I named it printing technique."

Xiao He, Meng Yi and others looked at me and I looked at you, and at this time they realized something was wrong.

This young master is obviously not ill, so it is impossible for him to talk nonsense to them. Could it be that what he just said is true?

"Sir, don't be so pretentious. Tell us what's so magical about this printing technology."

Wang Ben couldn't wait to speak and urged.

After this period of contact, he got to know his future son-in-law quite well.

This young master does not adhere to vulgar etiquette and does not attach much importance to this aspect.

Ying Yu did not answer his future father-in-law's question, but snapped his fingers with a smile on his lips.

Qin Feng on the side immediately took out a book from his arms and presented it in front of everyone.

Meng Yi stretched out his hand to take it, and what caught his eyes were the two big characters "Qin Code".

When Xiao He and others saw this, they quickly stood up and gathered around.

"This...is this a book made of paper?"

Han Xin exclaimed.

"I told you to cover it up, please stop touching it and open it quickly to take a look."

Seeing that Meng Yi hesitated to read the contents, Wang Ben couldn't wait to grab it directly.

After hearing this, Meng Yi came back to his senses and gently opened the "Qin Code".

Then we watched it with everyone.

At first, everyone looked at it with great interest and didn't notice anything wrong.

"No...this isn't right!"

Suddenly a confused voice came from Xiao He's mouth.

Meng Yi frowned: "Why, is there anything wrong with this "Qin Code"?"

Xiao He shook his head: "It's not that the content is inappropriate, it's the word. This word is wrong."

"Word? This word is very good. What's wrong with it?" Wang Ben asked with some confusion.

"Everyone, haven't you noticed that the characters, size intervals, and font shapes in this "Qin Code" are all the same?

Look at these two words for Dharma. Is there any difference between them?"

After everyone heard this, they immediately looked towards where Xiao He was pointing.

At first glance, he immediately showed doubts.

"This is indeed exactly the same. This...how is this done?"

"Is this... is this the printing technology that the young master just mentioned?"

After understanding the key, everyone turned their heads and looked at Ying Yu.

"Sir...how did you do it?"

Xiao He was the first to ask the questions in his mind.

Ying Yu put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "It's very simple."

"Engrave each character on a small wooden block, then select the required characters, arrange them on the character plate, and then apply ink and print."

"As for the detailed process, it's too complicated, so I won't go into details with you. You just need to know that with my printing technology, you can get as many books as you want."

Ying Yu didn't go into details, he just gave them a general answer.

After all, this already involves core technical issues, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"This...if it is true as the young master said, then wouldn't it be long before this book becomes popular in our country, Qin?"

"The popularization of books is definitely a great thing for scholars, but Your Majesty..."

"I think you are worrying too much. If it is as the young master said, then books will be both important and unimportant from now on."

Ying Yu on the side nodded slightly, as expected of Xiao He, he saw things thoroughly.

Once books can be mass-produced, the influence of hundreds of clans will be greatly weakened.

Like Confucianism, it is simply impossible to control public opinion anymore.

Why did Brother Zheng burn the books? He had no choice.

But things are different now. Books can be mass-produced, and the people are all literate. Who will listen to your Confucian lies now that they are all educated?

Not only will Brother Zheng not object to this point alone, but he will also strongly support it.

After Xiao He reminded him, Meng Yi also understood instantly.

At the same time, the eyes looking at Xiao He also changed. It seems that these people recruited by the young master are all capable people.

"With your printing skills and paper, you don't have to worry about books."

"It's just that our Daqin treasury is not rich now. If we want to build academies in various counties at the same time, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain the money."

"In my opinion, it is better to build one in Xianyang City first, and delay the rest of the counties. What do you think, Master?"

Speaking of this, Meng Yi looked embarrassed.

This is the most critical issue. Without money, everything is just talk.

If he didn't have much money, he could provide some support, but how could he come up with the money to build a college.

Xiao He, Cao Shen and others also looked embarrassed.

Ying Yu nodded slightly, but as far as he knew, there was still a sum of money in the treasury.

It's just that no one dared to touch this money, because it was used by Brother Zheng to build a new palace.

And this palace is the famous Afang Palace.

In Ying Yu's opinion, Afang Palace is useless and wastes money and people.

However, after a little thought, Ying Yu gave up the idea of ​​using the money.

It’s better to earn this money yourself.

What they are going to do now is enough to offend people.

If Brother Zheng is offended again, it will not end well.

"I will take care of the money matter, you don't have to worry."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and then they all looked at Ying Yu in unison.

Books you solved!

Have you settled the money?

So why did you come to us?

With so many of us there was no help at all, and we even ate a lot of snacks.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ying Yu continued:

"Let's do this. First build a royal academy outside Xianyang, and Xiao He will be responsible for it."

"I will give you the construction drawings later. As for manpower, we can only recruit from the surrounding areas."

Xiao He was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the young master would entrust him with such an important matter.

But then his face turned a little ugly, and he hesitated and said:

"Sir, now is the busy time for farming. Isn't it inappropriate to recruit laborers at this time..."

Ying Yu smiled slightly and said, "Who said that I, the young master, will be drafted for labor?"

"That..."

If you don’t recruit labor, where can you find people to build it?

Just when everyone was confused, Ying Yu agreed:

"We hired the common people to build the academy and take care of food and housing. The common people will be given 50 yuan for every day of work. In this way, the common people will definitely come first, and naturally there will be no need to recruit labor."

"What? You get 50 yuan for a day's work?"

Several people immediately exclaimed when they heard this.

This is simply unheard of and unseen.
