Chapter 2214 Governor, Come and Farm with Me! (224))

"Qiao'er, what you said just now, the thing that will make your father famous and make our Su family famous, which one of these are you referring to?"

"Yeah, sister, tell me quickly." Even Su Yichen paid attention to this matter.

Su Qiao didn't grumble, she opened the book and found the one on printing: "Master, father, brother, look at this."

"This one is about typography, that is, printing words on paper and binding them into booklets."

"Today's books are copied word by word with a brush, and then bound into a book, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you copy a wrong word, you have to rewrite it, wasting pen and ink, and wasting time and energy. Most importantly, also very slow."

"This has also led to books circulating outside, which are not only frighteningly expensive, but also very few in number. Many poor families cannot afford to go to school, and many students cannot afford books, or even books."

"As long as we figure out such a technology, then all this can be solved."

Su Qiao's words were simple and easy to understand, and everyone understood it at once. There is a way to quickly print books without needing to write word by word.

And they can make a lot of books this way to sell.

The old man didn't think there was such a way: "This... This is indeed a great deed that benefits the country and the people, and it can also make our family famous for the ages."

Su Yaohui stared at the short description carefully, read it several times, and frowned:

"Qiao'er, the above procedures are very complicated and profound. We can't understand what kind of reverse character carving and what kind of glue."

Su Yichen and Su Yihe were also confused.

Su Qiao said lightly: "I have probably figured out these things, and the molds are basically ready, otherwise I wouldn't dare to tell you about it today."

Next, you only need to use clay to add some turpentine, calcine to make various characters, and then add ink to print.

"This is real?"

"Sister, have you really figured it out?"

All of a sudden, the three of Su Yaohui screamed.

The old man tapped the table hard with a copper tobacco stalk: "Don't shout, let Qiao'er speak slowly."

"It's true, I'm only short of practice now."

"And besides this, I have a plan."

"When the movable type printing technique comes out, I will make a Tianyuan dictionary."

Movable type printing is just the beginning. Next, Su Qiao will start with the dictionary as a stepping stone and produce various books, industrial agriculture, picture albums and so on.

"What is a dictionary?"

Su Qiao briefly explained the Xinhua Dictionary.

"At present, our Tianyuan Kingdom, and even other countries, have not had such a way to learn Pinyin and consult the book of interpretation. If it can be done, it will be a great innovation, and it will be convenient for countless students to consult."

After Su Qiao finished explaining, there was no sound in the room for a while.

The old man was stunned for a while, then calmed down and said calmly: "If you can really make this... this Tianyuan dictionary, plus your movable type printing technique, this will be a matter of benefiting the country and the people. A great deed that shocked the nation."

"However, the dictionary thing takes a long time and can't be completed in a while."

Su Yaohui and his son also nodded solemnly.

Su Qiao tapped her fingers on the table and pondered for a moment: "I planned this way."

"This dictionary is divided into two volumes, first and foremost, let's make the words we know, and then borrow some books, and make those words on it as the first volume, the rest of the second volume, let's slow down. Slow down."
