Chapter 224 Movable Type Printing.
"Hahaha, that's right."
Ying Yinman sat down at the prayer table while smiling.
"This is the first time I've worked so many days in a row. It really exhausted me."
"I just recovered after two days of sleep, and I was just thinking of coming over to see if you're awake."
"I didn't expect that you would be awake when I came here. It seems that I am really lucky."
Looking at Ying Yinman's pretty smile, Qi Pan also smiled.
"What? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Ying Yinman: "What's wrong? Can't I come to see you if I'm fine?"
She smiled and joked, then said.
"Okay, Imperial Master, I won't joke with you anymore."
"I really have something to talk to you about."
"I want to ask you, what do you think about the establishment of a women's medical school?"
Ok?
The founding of a women's medical college?
Qi Pan said, "That's a good thing. I support it."
Ying Yinman: "No, Master, I want to ask you."
“Do you have any good suggestions on how to start a business?”
"For example, where will the Women's Medical College be located?"
"I've chosen a few places in the palace, but none of them seem suitable. Can you help me take a look?"
As Ying Yinman spoke, she took out a booklet from her sleeve.
Show Qi Pan the place you had chosen earlier.
After watching it, Qi Pan also felt that it was not very good.
"The women's medical school established in the palace this time is equivalent to an experiment."
"The students we recruit are mainly from the palace."
"The palace servants usually have their own duties to attend to, so they don't have much time to spare."
Qi Pan pointed at the names of several palaces chosen by Ying Yinman.
"Although these places are good, they are too far away from the palaces."
"It would take too much time for the palace servants to rush over here."
"It takes a lot of time to go back and forth."
Ying Yinman listened and nodded, "Yes, that's true."
“I didn’t think about it that way before.”
Before, she only thought that the palace here was spacious enough and close to the Imperial Hospital.
I hadn’t considered that there were palace maids from several places and it would be far to come here.
Qi Pan said, "We need to find a place where all the palaces must pass through."
"It's okay if the place is small. If there is anything missing, it can be filled as soon as possible."
"The most important thing is that it should be convenient for the palace servants in each palace to come and learn medical skills every day without delaying their work."
Listening to Qi Pan's words, Ying Yinman frowned and thought carefully.
The next moment his eyes lit up.
"Master, I remember now! I know where to go!"
Qi Pan: "Oh? Where?"
Ying Yinman turned the booklet back one page.
She found a location from a simple map she drew herself.
Stretch out your finger, point.
"right here!"
Qipan raised his eyes and looked.
"Hey? This location...is really good. It's okay."
Ying Yinman: "Great!"
“Now that the location has been chosen, I will go check it out, mark out the site, and plan it out.”
Qipan: "Okay, go ahead."
"Thank you, Imperial Master!"
Ying Yinman left happily.
It really comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
The palace maid dried Qi Pan's hair, combed it carefully, and put on a hair crown.
When Qi Pan came to the main hall to find Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was discussing the issue of medical books with Xia Wuqie.
Seeing Qi Pan, Ying Zheng said: "National Master? You are awake."
Qi Pan walked over and said, "Yes, brother."
Xia Wuqie bowed to Qi Pan and said, "National Master."
Qi Pan: "Master Xia, there is no need to be so polite."
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Ying Zheng said, "Master Xia and I were talking about the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica."
"Oh, right, Imperial Master, you said before that this Shennong's Herbal Classic was compiled from many medical books collected since the Qin Dynasty."
"That is to say, my Qin State also has such a medical book?"
Qi Pan said: "Yes, of course."
“Although the records are incomplete, they have already taken shape.”
Thinking of the time dominated by translation and copying, Qi Pan said.
"Brother, I have a quick printing technology in my hand. Shall we study it?"
"In a few days, the women's medical school at Her Royal Highness's place will be ready, and we will have to get some study materials for the students to study."
"I am really afraid of writing. I hope to develop printing technology as soon as possible so that I can free my hands."
Typography?
Ying Zheng and Xia Wuqie looked at Qi Pan in confusion.
Xia Wuqie: "Master, what is the printing technique you are talking about?"
Qi Pan: "It's a technique similar to rubbing."
"Hand-copying is too time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to make mistakes or omissions."
“Printing technology can print the words in books more conveniently and quickly.”
"Movable type printing is to find some wood with relatively high density and cut them into pieces of the same size."
“Then the characters were carved into the wood and arranged in the order of the words in the medical book.”
"After fixing it, apply ink, put paper on it, and press it to make a rubbing."
"This way a text can be printed very quickly, and the same text does not need to change the order of the fonts at all."
“It only takes half a day to print several hundred copies.”
After hearing this, Ying Zheng thought quickly in his mind.
He said very quickly, "And if a wooden block of a font is damaged, you can carve a new one to replace it."
“There was hardly any major delay in the printing process.”
Qi Pan: "Yes, and most of the fonts in different medical books are the same."
“After printing a book, you can re-order it and add the missing font engravings.”
"Soon there will be a whole new typeface."
Ying Zheng went on to say, "In addition to medical books, other text books can also be printed."
Qi Pan: “Yes.”
Qi Pan and Ying Zheng's words opened the door to a new world for Xia Wuqie.
It turns out that medical books can be copied like this... No, printed?
With this printing technology, they stored medical books in the Imperial Hospital.
You can use this method to quickly print a backup and then seal it.
There is also information needed for the women's medical college that is about to open.
They no longer have to worry about a shortage of manpower or staying up late to copy.
Afterwards, Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and Xia Wuqie started a heated discussion about movable type printing.
This is what Fusu saw when he arrived.
He blinked and walked in puzzled.
When I got closer, I heard several people talking about printing...carving characters and wood.
Ok?
When did father and the others become interested in wood again?
Do you want to carve words on wood?
Just as the discussion was over, Ying Zheng, who didn't know who to ask for this matter, saw Fusu come in out of the corner of his eye.
He immediately waved at him and said.
