In recent days, the north of Darui has been surging. In addition to the impact of the grassland war on the local area, the biggest change should be the rapid spread of movable type printing.

Even the Meng family, who had already had a long time ago, did not expect that this printing method would spread so quickly! It would even exceed their control in a short period of time!

Since the first book of Huashe was successfully printed, the movable type printing method was officially released, and it became uncontrollable. Inside and outside the city of Daizhou, more than a dozen privately opened engraving libraries rose to the ground.

Although the Meng family tried hard to suppress and control, it was still difficult to eradicate. At most, they only controlled the engraving library in Daizhou City. After this scope, even if they were willing, they would be trapped with their own hands, let alone the court rules there. The Meng family, a noble family, could not stretch their hands too long.

Furthermore, Daizhou City is located on the border and is a heavy commercial city. There are countless merchants traveling from south to north. These merchants are originally well-informed and keen sense of smell. How could such a big deal of movable type printing technology be hidden from them?

Not long after, many merchants learned about it and saw the huge business opportunities. They immediately activated their respective energy.

In this way, the news about movable type printing was unstoppable. Even the servants and servants of the Meng family were mixed in with many spies, or were bribed by a large amount of money.

However, the merchants of this era also knew that there were gods and that they still had a bottom line in doing things. So while stealing information wildly, they also invested in the Meng family to build a pavilion together, and unanimously praised the calligraphy of Qiu Yan, and put it in the pavilion, which was quite respectful.

In addition, there are also some measures, such as Huashe, which has been registered as a householder, has been invited by many huge merchants. If Huashe had not thought about the Meng family's mercy and was willing to repay the kindness, he would have left long ago.

Even so, without Huashe's franchise, the specific method of movable type printing has been explored by all spies and gathered into the hands of wealthy businessmen.

With the suppression of the Meng family in Daizhou, more than a dozen newly-launched library engravings were calmed down, but the owners of the library and the client would not disappear and were plundered by several wealthy businessmen.

Then, in just a few days, outside Daizhou, the engraving libraries stood up and printed books in large quantities. Due to the movable type, the cost was low. Instead, the regular engraving libraries had a bleak business!

In this way, the government was immediately warned, and during the national war, such things that could shake public opinion and make the people's hearts fluctuate are actually very sensitive, and certain suppression is inevitable.

However, those merchants are not a good deal of fuel. They pay filial piety to the money, which eventually made some officials turn a blind eye, and a certain balance was reached between the two sides.

However, movable type printing is a start-up after all, and there are many loopholes and disadvantages. For example, the movable type used for printing is not easy to collect and use. When placed, there is no method such as rotation to distinguish it. The craftsmen responsible for printing do not have the corresponding knowledge. When combining movable type, they are sometimes reversed and sometimes missed. Therefore, the books printed using this method have many missed mistakes. In addition to factors such as ink mixing, the books printed are ugly.

In this case, some students will naturally resist it. However, because of this, in order to sell it, the price of the books becomes cheaper. Many students, Confucian scholars and scholars cannot stand the poverty and cannot find books to copy them. They want to study and can only compromise with reality.

This also allowed printers to see profits, and more workshop-style engraving libraries were established, even passing them all the way, entering the capital and touching the capital.

However, the capital city is no better than other places. It is a gathering place for wealthy and bureaucrats. There are countless nobles and noble families in Guanlong, and they have very strict control over public opinion. All the engraving libraries in Guanlong, the capital of Guanlong, are firmly controlled by them. How can they allow private printing to happen?

As long as there is a little sign, administrative means will be used to force suppress it immediately, not only will the ban on the movable type printing workshop, but also the books leaked from the workshop will become **.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of thing that has a great influence did not alarm the emperor at all, or even the emperor was not rewarded, and the aristocratic families used their own influence to interfere in the government and directly dealt with.

But on the other hand, the Northern War involved the main attention of the aristocratic families. The seemingly simple dynasty wars were mixed with many factors. Therefore, although the threat of movable type printing was seen, the matter was prioritized. The mainstream of the aristocratic family, the big people just gave a little instructions and took the attention away, which only made the younger generation and the people below continue to ask.

This also caused some loopholes in the government's decree.

Those merchants who print books will not be willing to suffer losses due to government orders. The books squeezed in the warehouse must be exported. What's more, they have connections with some juniors from aristocratic families, which has given birth to another channel of circulation—

Traveling businessman.

The two books obtained by Meng's mother originated from this place. The two seemingly simple books can be circulated into her hands, and the twists and turns experienced in them are also unexpected.

However, Meng Sanyi, who often works in the Hanlin Academy, is very clever and good at thinking, can guess a little bit of clues. When he saw two books, while he felt his mother's concern, he also felt a little worried in his heart.

"When my mother was buying books, did anyone else see it?"

When she heard her son's inquiry, Meng's mother smiled and said, "My son doesn't have to worry about this. Because my mother knows that such books are prohibited from being sold by the government, it's just a remark. There are many people buying books. When I went there, if I hadn't rushed early, I would have been afraid that I would have returned empty-handed."

Hearing this, Meng Sanyi felt more and more worried, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed. He knew that his family was not rich. These two books printed in movable type may be cheap for ordinary families, but for families like them, if you want to buy one, you will have to save money for at least a few days, and his mother will buy two books, and the effort can be imagined.

"This is all because I'm worried about me." Meng Sanyi was clear about the reason.

Since that day, I met Qiu Yan again in the Hanlin Academy. When I heard what the other party said, Meng San moved back, tossed and turned, and chewed repeatedly, but it was a little unscrupulous.

I thought it was Qiu Yan's reason to use his power to help him form households and become residents in the capital.

To enter a local helper, we must be honest, but because the capital is full of people, not all innocent families can settle down and become naturalized. For example, Meng San moved his family to his family, which is the representative, and this guess was just now.

But judging from Qiu Yan's subsequent words, this is not the case.

After thinking repeatedly, Meng Sanyi found a little context and gradually made up his mind. Unexpectedly, what he looked like for a while made his mother so worried. The more she thought about it, the more she felt guilty. The worries were like shadows. It was just a matter of intention, and as a son, he could not refuse.

After receiving two books, Meng Sanyi said a few words to Meng’s mother, but he took the two books under a tree outside the house and came back and said, “I’m not sure recently, and my mother is worried. It’s not because I really have troubles, so I’m not sure.”

Meng's mother was not surprised when she heard this. Her son could see clearly at a glance, so she said, "What can't my son understand? I haven't read a book, so I can't help."

"I have figured it out now and I am about to talk to my mother," Meng Sanyi smiled, "I hope my mother can pickle some meat, and the child will use it in two days."

"Meat," Meng's mother looked a little embarrassed, "The cost of the family is not abundant, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a few days." In this era, ordinary people cannot eat meat every meal, but Meng's mother just bought two books with money, and she has no money to buy meat for the time being.

"The child also knows the family affairs, and he must use the family's wealth," Meng Sanyi also knew about the situation at home. "It's not that my mother would buy it, but that my mother would prepare some seasonings for marinating. I have already agreed with Uncle Li in the east end of the village and go to the forest in the afternoon to see if I can cook two wild game."

The Li family in the east of the village was a famous hunter. Meng Sanyi's father was very close to him when he was alive. Over the years, he also took care of the Meng family's mother and son. Meng Sanyi was able to go to the Hanlin Academy to help, but he still had his help. He asked a rich child who loved hunting to talk to him, so he had a chance.

However, after hearing this, Meng Mu showed a worry and shook her head and refused: "My son is thin and has always been just studying. How can he get into the forest? Could it be that he has forgotten the lessons of your father?"

Meng Sanyi's father was famous for his family's genealogy because he committed an incident at home. He was even more down and out of the ordinary people. He was wandering all the way, just like a refugee. Meng Sanyi followed him since childhood, which was quite difficult.

After Meng's father settled in this village, he went to the forest to hunt in order to improve the food at home, thus strengthening the hunter Li. He eventually died of serious injuries due to encountering wild animals, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother.

Meng Sanyi said, "It's just that my mother learned that the child was not just a temporary imagination, but to prepare the ceremony of apprenticeship for the apprenticeship. Even if the family is poor, the courtesy cannot be abandoned."

"Add to be a disciple?" Meng's mother was stunned and wanted to ask in detail, but before she could speak, her thoughts were interrupted by the voices from outside the hospital.

"It's here. The village woman who bought the best can enter this house!"

With this sound coming in, Meng's mother was shocked and thought of something. When she looked back, she happened to see a scholar in the village who led several officials to break through the fence and walk in.

She was not unfamiliar with the scholar. She had just met one of the people who bought books with her.

"You bought **?" The official in charge, who was in a strong body, walked into the fenced yard, looked around, his eyes swept over Meng Sanshi, and finally fell on Meng's mother, asking in a deep voice.

Meng's mother suddenly became afraid. (To be continued...)
