But how often does this newspaper come out? "Li Jiancheng has a keen insight that the timeliness of this newspaper is also very important.
Therefore, the interval cannot be too long, otherwise a big event will happen after the last issue of the newspaper comes out, but if you have to wait a month or two for the next issue of the newspaper, by that time everyone will know about the big event, and the newspaper will lose its It worked.
"The most ideal is of course a daily newspaper, but considering the current situation in Datang, a weekly newspaper! It is published once a week! And in the early stage, it mainly covers places with relatively concentrated populations such as Chang'an and Luoyang."
Tang Ping thought about it. Based on the current territory and transportation speed of the Tang Dynasty, if the spread was too wide, it would probably take more than a month for a newspaper printed in Chang'an to be delivered to the frontier and lose its effect. sex.
So we’d better start with Chang’an and Luoyang first. When things are done well here, we can let each state and state capital produce its own newspaper.
After all, if you let a person from Jiannan Road choose, he would definitely want to know what's new in Jiannan Road and what new stores have been opened, rather than the situation in Chang'an or Luoyang.
At that time, the state governments will only need to put the main news of the Tang Dynasty in the front according to the imperial court's urgent Di newspaper, and then the state governments will be free to write their own local news.
"It would be a bit difficult to do it once a week!" Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Just to engrave each issue, if you have an engraver working day and night on each plate, it would probably take more than a week. Time, if we wait for it to be printed, it will be at least two weeks later."
Tang Ping didn't understand and asked Li Jiancheng: "Why do you need an engraver to carve it?"
"That's it!" Li Jiancheng gestured on the newspaper: "If you want to print such a large page, why don't you find an engraver to engrave it one by one?"
After finishing speaking, Tang Ping and Li Jiancheng looked at each other.
After a while, Tang Ping asked with some embarrassment: "This...did the Tang Dynasty not have movable type printing technology yet?"
Only then did he remember that the four major inventions of movable type printing were not invented until the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Movable type printing? What is movable type printing?" Li Yuanji murmured strangely: "Those characters are all dead, where do they come from?"
Tang Ping slapped his forehead and actually
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Such an important thing has been forgotten.
At this moment, the system also made a sound in Tang Ping's mind.
"Mission: Promote movable type printing!"
"Task description: The Tang Dynasty possesses papermaking, compass and gunpowder. The last piece of the puzzle of the four great inventions of ancient China will be completed by the host. Please do your best to promote movable type printing for three months!"
"Task reward: The reward will be determined based on the host's promotion level after three months."
It can only be said that Tang Ping's system is too screwed up. Other systems all proactively give out tasks, but this system only issues tasks when things are at hand, and it even requires Tang Ping to actively trigger it.
However, this task promoted movable type printing, and Tang Ping felt that the reward must be very good.
Because the reward for each mission is determined based on his contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and movable type printing can even be said to be something that will benefit the present generation, so the final reward must be the same.
Thinking of this, Tang Ping found a wooden square at random, handed it to Pei Min and said, "Uncle Pei, do me a favor. Cut four wooden squares of the same size for me."
Pei Min put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his sword and cut out four identical small wooden cubes.
Then Tang Ping pointed to it and said, "Can you carve a word on each square? Just carve...'Long Live the Tang Dynasty.' That's it." "
Old Man Pei changed to Li Bai's dagger, and after a few brush strokes, the words Tang Ping said appeared on the small piece of wood.
After taking it, Tang Ping looked around and rubbed it directly on the bottom of the pot where the fish bone soup was burning.
The bottom of the pot had been burned for a long time and naturally had some black oil. After rubbing it, he took a piece of white paper and pressed it hard.
Because I forgot to tell Pei Min to carve it backwards, four traces of "Long Live the Tang Dynasty" appeared backwards.
But this is not important anymore. He moved the four word blocks again and pressed them a little lower on the white paper. Then the four words "Long Live the Tang Dynasty" appeared.
Li Yuanji didn't fully react yet, he just said: "Isn't this a seal?"
But Li Jiancheng had already understood, and said with some trembling: "This...this...there are three thousand commonly used words, that is to say, as long as there are three thousand such words,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Blocks can be combined into thousands of articles at will! "
He was really shocked. This seal has been used by people since ancient times, but no one has thought of using it for printing.
Why is knowledge not widespread now? Because books are expensive, each page of a book must be engraved, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Therefore, in order to make the people literate, even the government could only carve characters on the walls of county offices.
But if there is such movable type printing technology, as long as more such typefaces are prepared early, then it can be put together according to the article.
Even such typefaces do not require skilled engravers to carve them, and any apprentice can slowly complete them.
If Tang Ping's assembly line operation method is used, one person is responsible for carving a few characters. After they become proficient, the speed will definitely increase, so that more than 3,000 characters can be carved quickly.
With a sound of brushing, he stood up directly, holding the four small wooden blocks in one hand, and holding Li Yuanji up with the other hand to walk outside.
"Brother, what are you doing? You haven't finished eating yet? Hey, hey!"
"This matter must be reported to Your Majesty immediately! You and I must return to the palace as soon as possible!"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng's look and knew that this matter was important. He only had time to turn around and shout to Tang Ping: "Uncle San will bring another big fish tomorrow and let Xiao Luo make another table. Xiao Qing also has a good rest." , I will ask people to build a yard for you nearby tomorrow."
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Xiande Hall without even having time to wait for the guards to report.
Li Shimin was still approving the memorial in the Xiande Hall. He looked at the two people rushing in and said with a smile: "You two went to Shanghe Village to have a tooth ceremony, so you don't have to be in such a hurry to show off to me!"
After he finished speaking, he joked: "If I had known that I would have taken over the position of Crown Prince from my eldest brother."
Li Jiancheng had no intention of making these jokes with him at this time, and directly placed the four wooden blocks on the table in front of Li Shimin.
"Long live the Tang Dynasty? Who carved it? This word is so careless!"
Li Jiancheng didn't say much. Just like Tang Ping had done at the beginning, he dipped Li Shimin's seal ink and stamped it with four words. Then he changed the position and stamped it again. Then he raised his head and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, movable type printing!"
