Datang romantic little landlord

Plagiarism?Copy one for us to see?

Can a person who can write such poems be a shooter for others?

In fact, he himself didn't believe it. After shouting, the Wang student angrily left the crowd in front of him and ran out of the Imperial Prison.Many students from aristocratic families followed closely behind, and they all needed to rush back to the clan to ask how to deal with this matter.

Before the children of these aristocratic families went back to report the news, the matter had already been spread throughout the city of Chang'an.

Because at this time, there were four-wheeled carriages passing by in various workshops in Chang'an City, and they kept pouring down the "Ziyou Anthology" that they had just seen.

Li Wangyou's name is popular in Chang'an City today!

In fact, the Taiyuan Wang family really did not wrong Li Wangyou, Li Wangyou really plagiarized his poems, but the poems he copied were all the poems of those big bosses in later generations.

There are three hundred Tang poems and Song lyrics, and there are many poems in his mind.

Originally, Li Wangyou would be so high-profile and proactive, copying the poems of big bosses, but he was forced to throw out a poem or two to deal with errands.

However, Li Wangyou didn't care about that much when he learned yesterday that the elites of the aristocratic family actually mobilized the public opinion of scholars to attack and discredit him.

You can only go your own way, so that the bosses of future generations will have nowhere to go!

He discussed with the beautiful boss for a long time, and felt that in order to resist the pressure of public opinion from the aristocratic family, he could only show his talent in a high-profile manner.

However, Datang is not like in later generations. You can post small videos on Weibo and Douyin to quickly accumulate popularity.Not to mention that there are no newspapers and media to use, so how to express yourself quickly is a problem.

Li Wangyou couldn't help sighing and said, "Hey, it would be great if there were newspapers, and if you pay for an exclusive interview or something, the effect will be great."

Su Changqing couldn't help giving him a blank look: "I'm returning the newspaper, do you want to be on TV? If there is a newspaper, is it your turn to copy three hundred poems from Tang and Song Dynasties?"

Being bullied by the beautiful boss, Li Wangyou could only scratch his head and giggle.

He thought of the leaflets and small advertisements he often distributed when he was a part-time job in college, and he couldn't help but have an idea.

Newspapers cannot be run, after all, Datang did not have movable type printing.

Although both Li Wangyou and Su Changqing knew a little about the principles of movable type printing, they couldn't figure it out without spending time on experiments.

But it is no problem to use engraving printing to print a leaflet or something. He can completely print and distribute his plagiarized poems on a large scale to prove his innocence.

Li Wangyou, who originally didn't want to be famous, only now realizes that in Datang, fame is also very important.

Isn't it because of the reputation accumulated over thousands of years that the aristocratic family can wrestle with Li Er so high-profile?

If Li Wangyou was a famous Confucianist like Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda, would the aristocratic family dare to discredit him?

Li Wangyou's idea was actually supported by Su Changqing.

In the absence of effective communication channels, distributing leaflets to future generations seems to be a good choice.

After discussing the details, the two made a plan to make this leaflet famous.

Li Wangyou immediately copied out the poems and handed them over to Niu Wu, who asked him to go to Hu County to find a book printing house to print a large number of them for him.

But to the surprise of Li Wangyou and Su Changqing, Niu Wu went to Hu County, but came back soon, bringing back bad news.

The printing workshop in Hu County is unable to print Li Wangyou's leaflets, because no one has heard of woodblock printing...

Li Wangyou was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then he slapped his head.Ma Dan, I forgot, not only did movable type printing not appear in the early Tang Dynasty, but even woodblock printing had not been invented yet.

254 Block printing

Li Wangyou also forgot that the books in the early Tang period were still in the era of hand-copied books.

Woodblock printing did appear in the Tang Dynasty, but now it is only the second year of Zhenguan, so there is no such thing as woodblock printing.

Li Wangyou remembers that the earliest record of the use of woodblock printing was that after the death of Empress Changsun, Li Er, in grief, ordered people to use woodblock printing to print and publish "Nv Ze" written by Empress Changsun.

But that was ten years after Zhenguan.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many poor scholars who earned a meager income to support their families by helping others copy books.It is precisely because of this that the dissemination of books is quite difficult.

The aristocratic family's ability to gain such great political power and influence has a lot to do with the preciousness of books.

Books represent knowledge, and the aristocratic families who monopolize knowledge can naturally get a lot of benefits from it.

The reason why the aristocratic families disappeared in the long river of history in the late Tang Dynasty was not only related to the prosperity of the imperial examinations and the massacre of the aristocratic families by the Huangchao Uprising, but also because books became cheaper and cheaper with the development of printing technology.

The large-scale dissemination of knowledge has caused the aristocratic family to lose their monopoly position.

Those bookstores in Datang today should actually be called copybook workshops.

The owner of the shop hired humble scholars to copy books and sell them, but the prices of these manually copied books were quite expensive.

Of course, there was also printing, but printing at that time mainly referred to rubbings, that is, carving steles with stones and then rubbing them.

It is precisely because the printing technique has not yet prevailed that the Tang Dynasty did not actually have bound books at this time, but scrolls prevailed. Reading a book is like looking at a painting, which needs to be unfolded slowly.

Every time Li Wangyou sees Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms reading a thread-bound book on TV in later generations, he can't help but want to spit at the director.

Did you also travel through the past?Where did the thread-bound books come from during the Three Kingdoms period?

Before the invention of papermaking in the Han Dynasty, there were bamboo slips and books in parallel; from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there were scroll books.After Datang invented woodblock printing, thread-bound books began to appear, which is the style of books that later generations are accustomed to.

Niu Wu made a trip to the bookstore in Hu County, but of course he returned in vain.

For this, Li Wangyou also felt a pain in the ass, because he was forcing himself to invent and create again.But anyway, it has only been a few years since the emergence of engraving and printing, and I have only slightly advanced the historical process.

Li Wangyou could only go to the county bookstore again with Niu Wu.

The owner of Huxian Bookstore is surnamed Sun, and he is in his fifties.Although he is a merchant, he is also a scholar.Seeing the baron of Hu County visiting in person, he greeted him immediately.

"I've seen the man from Hu County."

"Master Sun, you don't have to be polite. I'm here to ask for something, and I hope Master Sun can help you."

Fangzhu Sun showed a wry smile: "Mr. Huxian, your Buqu has already told the old man about it, but it is impossible to copy ten thousand manuscripts in one day. The old man is really powerless."

Li Wangyou was not in a hurry to answer, but just asked with a smile: "Master Sun, is there a craftsman who knows how to carve seals?"

Fangzhu Sun was stunned when he heard the words, nodded and replied: "Of course there are. Huxian men need seal carvings or inscriptions? We can do it in our bookstore. There are several old craftsmen here with very good craftsmanship, which is definitely not inferior to A seal carving craftsman in Chang'an City."

"That's good. May I ask Master Sun if there is a wooden board here? It doesn't need to be too big. It's about the size of my manuscript." Li Wangyou raised the manuscript in his hand and continued to ask.

Fangzhu Sun was confused by his question, but he could only cooperate.

"Of course there are. Huxian male, please wait for a moment, this old man will get someone to pick it up immediately."

Not long after, a piece of high-quality boxwood board was brought.
