Chapter 1756: Motion PrintingEditor: Henyee Translations

Shao Wen and Shao Wu also nodded. "That’s right, Madam. Among the four of us, Hongxiu is the only one who can write. If you let us in, you might as well go to the street and pull two people."

Gu Yundong could not help but glare at them. "Alright, cut the crap. Come and help me."

As she spoke, she placed the box on the table and opened the lid. Then, she carefully took out the things inside.

The thing she took out was really strange, causing Tong Shuitao and the others, who were still a little dejected, to be stunned. They went forward to take a look.

"What’s this?"

"Miss, why are there words all over it?"

Gu Yundong nodded. "That’s right. These are all words. This thing is called movable printing. It’s made of glue. It’s much more convenient and fast than the engraved printing we saw previously. Today, we’ll use this to win against the marquis family."

At this time, no one in the Dajin Dynasty used movable printing.

When Gu Yundong had unintentionally found out last time, she had indeed been thinking about getting this thing out.

However, she only had a rough understanding of movable printing and was not too sure how to make it.

Hence, she and Shao Qingyuan found a piece of wood to carve words and tried it repeatedly. Although they also made a simple version, they felt that something was missing. The words were a little uneven and not neat.

It was Shao Qingyuan who realized that the texture of the wood was sometimes scarce and sometimes dense. When it came into contact with water, it would become uneven and stick to the medicine. It was too difficult to remove the board.

Hence, they switched to glue.

After making it, Gu Yundong was not in a hurry to take it out. After all, she had just given the magnifying glass to the emperor. It would be too high-profile to print it immediately. She had always been very humble.

Moreover, Gu Yundong wanted to remind Gu Dajiang to discover it. This would be beneficial to increasing his reputation.

She did not expect it to be used on such an occasion today.

As Gu Yundong moved, she explained to them, "This clay calligraphy model is very thin. After carving, you can harden it with fire. This is an iron plate with turpentine on it. Wax is mixed with paper ash. This is an iron frame. Place this thing on the iron plate and we’ll arrange the calligraphy model according to the words in the medical books. Do you understand?"

As they listened, their eyes lit up.

"I understand, I understand. Miss, I’m good at handicraft. I’ll do it."

Gu Yundong made way for them and took out a second iron plate. She prepared two portions so that it would be more convenient.

She handed the other portion to Lu Hongxiu and led Shao Wen and Shao Wu to the side.

"Madam, what are we going to do?"

Gu Yundong said, "I looked at that medical book just now. There are many common and unfamiliar words in it. The calligraphy model I prepared is a little lacking. Let’s carve the calligraphy model on the spot."

Shao Wen and Shao Wu quickly nodded. Martial arts practitioners had steady hands. They might tremble when they were asked to write, but there was no problem with carving words. They would be familiar with it after two more times.

The five of them divided the work and quietly did their own things in the room.

Not long after, Tong Shuitao had already arranged the first page of the medical book. She looked at it with a sense of accomplishment.

Lu Hongxiu was a little slower. As there were few commonly used words, there were a few places that she could only empty first.

Gu Yundong came to check on Tong Shuitao twice. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she nodded.

"Okay, let’s heat it up."

Tong Shuitao followed her instructions and did it carefully step by step.

After the first page was printed neatly, the few people present could not help but cheer.

"It’s out."
