    Gan Ning left and took more than 20 new-style ships and more than 2,000 elite sailors to Daifang County.

    The Liaodong Fleet is the main force to attack Yingzhou eastward in the future. Of course, Yan Liang cannot equip Gan Ning with only twenty ships. That is because more advanced ships that are more suitable for ocean voyages are still under construction and will only be allocated in time.  Gan Ning.

    As for this new type of sea-going ship, it is based on the original sea-going ship. It has a larger hull, more sails, and a deeper draft. Compared with the original sea-going ship, its combat effectiveness has risen by a full level.

    Zhang Fei thought that he could build a navy that could compete with Da Chu by relying on the few captured ships. Little did he know that the ships he regarded as treasures had become the types of ships that Da Chu would soon eliminate.

    All of this is naturally attributed to Yan Liang¡¯s extremely smart queen.

    Over the years, when Yan Liang was conquering the east and west, Huang Yueying, who stayed in the capital, not only kept the order of the entire palace in order so that Yan Liang had no worries, but also dedicated various inventions to Da Chu in his free time.  .

    As a time traveler from later generations, Yan Liang has all kinds of fantastic ideas, while Huang Yueying has superb skills. As long as there are sufficient conditions, she can always turn Yan Liang's inspiration into reality.

    That new type of sea-going ship was finally transformed by Huang Yueying after research.

    Although Yan Liang has three thousand beauties on the Jade Bird Stage, most of those women are just his playthings. The woman he values ??most in his heart is of course Huang Yueying.

    When having fun on the Jade Bird Stage, Yan Liang never neglected Huang Yueying.  Every once in a while, she would go back to the palace to stay and have a lucky night with Huang Yueying.

    This night, it was stormy again.  In the spring rain, Yan Liang used his heroic spirit to nourish his wife.

    The couple lay hugging each other, and before they knew it was dawn.

    Yan Liang yawned, stretched, and sat up lazily.

    "Your Majesty is awake." Huang Yueying had already gotten up and dressed up early in the morning.  Waiting to serve Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang raised his head and glanced out the window. It was already three o'clock in the morning. Then he smiled and said: "I worked too hard last night. I didn't expect that I would sleep until dawn."

    Yan Liang¡¯s phrase ¡°too much work¡± naturally meant something else.

    Huang Yueying couldn't hear the joke behind his words, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face.  Set against the reflection of the morning light.  It looks even more moving.

    Yan Liang laughed loudly and jumped off the brocade bed happily.

    Huang Yueying raised her hand slightly, and a group of palace maids came with golden basins of jade liquid to serve Yan Liang for washing.

    After washing her face, Huang Yueying personally presented an ivory toothbrush to Yan Liang. The toothbrush had salt grains like sapphire powder and exuded a rose-like fragrance.

    This toothbrush.  Naturally, it was Yan Liang who gave Huang Yueying an idea in his spare time.  Huang Yueying invented it based on her own intelligence.

    However, the manufacturing technology of this era is far less advanced than that of later generations. Although this tooth looks ordinary, it is more difficult to make it than to make a good ring-shou knife.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not matter to the emperor, a set of teeth.

    As the saying goes, what goes up has consequences. As soon as the emperor, queen, and the concubines in the palace used toothbrushes, the civil and military ministers, nobles and wealthy people outside the palace also followed suit. Nowadays, it is popular among the upper class in the capital to get up early and brush their teeth.  .

    "Your Majesty, it seems a little late to go to court today." Huang Yueying sighed.

    "It's too late, it's too late. An emperor is not a good emperor unless he wakes up early every day and goes to court early in the morning. Today I will take a day off and stay with you Ying'er for the whole day." Yan Liang said with a smile.

    Huang Yueying¡¯s eyebrows were dizzy with anticipation, and her watery eyes flashed with relief and surprise.

    Yan Liang kept his word and spent the whole day with Huang Yueying in Kunning Palace. The couple talked quietly and discussed various weird ideas with each other.

    At dusk, when the couple was drinking tea and chatting, a palace maid walked into the palace holding a big board and placed it in front of them.

    "I would like to express my gratitude to you, your Majesty. This is the printing plate that your Majesty asked for. I have made it according to your instructions."

    Printing board?

    Yan Liang suddenly became interested. He looked at the big board placed in front of the case and saw the words engraved on it. He suddenly understood.

    It turns out that this is a piece of engraving for printing.

    "In the past, His Majesty issued proclamations and the imperial court issued proclamations. Thousands of them could only be copied by hand, which was labor-intensive and slow. So I thought about how to engrave the imperial proclamations on a board first.  , and then write to the paper?One seal, this saves both manpower and time.  "

    Huang Yueying said, carefully inspecting the carvings, nodded with satisfaction, and praised the technical level of the general.

    "It turns out that my wife invented engraving and printing." Yan Liang sighed and couldn't help but admire Huang Yueying's intelligence.

    This engraving printing technique was invented many years after the advent of mass-produced paper. It is a major event in the history of printing.

    Regarding this printing technology, Yan Liang has never mentioned the idea, but his wife, when she had nothing to do, just figured it out. This virtuous and intelligent wife is indeed the greatest inventor in the world.

    "Ying'er, your intelligence and appearance have really not changed at all. You are still as good as you have been for more than ten years." Yan Liang held the carving board, admiring it and praising it at the same time.

    He praised Huang Yueying so much, not only praising Huang Yueying for her intelligence, but also praising her youthfulness and beauty. These sweet words made Huang Yueying feel as if she had eaten honey, and a secret smile appeared on her eyebrows.

    "Although this engraving plate is good for printing, it is useless every time it is used. Or if you want to print a book, you have to engrave many engraving plates and then it is useless. It is really a pity." Yan Liang soon discovered.  Among the shortcomings.

    Huang Yueying sighed: "There is no other way. I also feel it is a bit wasteful, but so far, I still can't think of a better way to solve this shortcoming."

    When Huang Yueying sighed, Yan Liang looked at the carved board, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

    "Ying'er, this carving board is dead, but the words are alive. If each word is made separately, it only needs to be arranged and combined when used. In this case, wouldn't there be no waste?"

    "Each word is created individually?" Huang Yueying fluttered her eyelashes, surprise shining in her starry eyes.

    What Yan Liang said is actually the process of movable type printing.

    Movable type printing was originally invented by Bi Sheng in the Song Dynasty on the basis of engraving printing. This major invention is as important as a milestone in the history of printing, and its importance is no less than that of gunpowder.

    The invention of movable type printing has made the spread of cultural science and technology more convenient and smooth, and its significance is comparable to the invention and promotion of mass-produced paper.

    In fact, the process of movable type printing is not that complicated. The key lies in a little inspiration and flexibility.

    But in history, such seemingly simple inspiration often takes hundreds of years and various coincidences to appear.

    Yan Liang comes from a later generation, and for him, the most indispensable thing is naturally inspiration.

    Today, he saw his wife and invented the engraving printing technique. Reminded by this, his inspiration burst out. Suddenly, he followed his train of thought and thought of movable type printing.

    "Your Majesty is right. Why didn't I think of this? Why don't you have to carve it board by board and carve each word separately? Isn't it better!" The smart Huang Yueying figured it out quickly and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.  Yin, I am full of surprises at Yan Liang's broad thinking.

    Yan Liang has long been accustomed to his wife's eyes of wonder and admiration, so he just smiled lightly and said: "I just had a sudden inspiration and got it occasionally. I'm afraid it depends on you, Ying'er, as to the specific manufacturing method."

    "Well, your majesty's idea is so ingenious that I have to think about it carefully." Huang Yueying's thoughts were suddenly immersed in Yan Liang's novel inspiration.

    In the next few days, Huang Yueying relied on her superb intelligence and Yan Liang's occasional suggestions to finally figure out a feasible method.

    The key to movable type printing lies in casting characters.

    Huang Yueying's method is to use clay to make blanks of the same specifications, engrave reverse single characters on one end, and the height of the protrusions of the characters is the same as the thickness of the edge of a copper coin. Then, the clay movable type is hardened with fire.  , becoming a single movable type.

    In order to meet the needs of typesetting, several or even dozens of commonly used characters are generally prepared for repeated use in the same edition. If you encounter uncommon characters that are not commonly used, you can make them as needed.

    After casting the characters, it¡¯s time to choose the characters and type them.

    In order to facilitate the selection of characters, the burned clay characters were placed in wooden grids according to phonetic classification and labeled with paper strips.

    When typesetting, use a framed iron plate as the base, apply a layer of agent mixed with rosin, wax and paper ash on it, then pick out the required clay characters and arrange them one by one into the frame.  .

    After filling a frame, it becomes a plate, and then bake it with fire. When the agent melts slightly, use a flat plate to flatten the words. After the agent cools and solidifies, it is ready.?For the layout, ink is brushed up, and then it is ready for printing.

    After using up a plate, use fire to bake the agent, shake it gently with your hands, and the movable type will fall off the iron plate, and then put it back into the original wooden grid according to the rhyme, so that it can be used again next time.

    Bi Sheng invented movable type printing at that time, but after many experiments, he first used wood to print, and finally after several failures, he thought of using clay.

    With Yan Liang¡¯s reminder, Huang Yueying was able to skip the wooden movable type and go straight to the clay movable type. I don¡¯t know how many detours were avoided during this process.

    This is the evening, in the Kunning Palace, Huang Yueying is holding the piece of "Eastern Jieshi" printed with movable type printing by Yan Liang when he returned from the Wuhuan expedition.

    Appreciating Yan Liang¡¯s eternal masterpieces and admiring the beautifully printed paper, Huang Yueying¡¯s face full of mature charm was full of joy.

    "My Ying'er is really amazing. Once this movable type printing technology is invented, it will benefit the world." Yan Liang hugged Huang Yueying's waist and praised.

    However, Huang Yueying sighed with a smile: "Your Majesty is so powerful that he can write such wonderful works as "Eastern Jieshi", and he can also inspire me to create this movable type printing technology. Your Majesty is the one who truly benefits the world. I feel that,  In the history of history, I am afraid that no one can surpass His Majesty in his achievements." (To be continued)
