The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 549: That kid can make paper? Isn't it a joke?

"...When is this ghost reason?" Empress Changsun's face turned black. Gritting his silver teeth, some of his teeth are authentic.

"The wealth your father gave to that kid, I'm afraid it should have two or three thousand guanxi..."

Li Ke quickly explained the sentence.

"Mother, Cheng Chubi just spent five thousand guana a few days ago and bought a printing shop."

The corners of Queen Changsun's eyes stood up.

"Five thousand guan, how can it cost so much...With so much money, Cheng Saburo is more than enough to build two printing workshops."

Empress Changsun had said this, and Shen Sui's eyes fell on Li Ke's body.

"San Lang, although Cheng Chubi has a brilliant literary style, with his temperament, it is impossible to buy a printing shop and develop new paper."

"Could it be that there is something that makes him have to do this?"

Seeing her mother's gaze that seemed to be able to insight into people's hearts, Li Ke could only harden his scalp and salute the grandson empress.

"Erchen knows that he can't conceal his mother's queen. There is one thing, his son...I want to ask the mother's queen to conceal something for him and elder brother."

Empress Changsun slowly straightened her spine, her eyebrows lightly frowned, and she waited for Li Ke to speak.

Li Ke's heart was crossed, and he placed Brother Chu Bi at Tangquan Palace in Lishan. After watching his painting with his elder brother that day, he was inspired by the seal.

I thought of a newer and more affordable printing technique, and after that.

"In the beginning, the eldest brother wanted to directly present the printing technique to the emperor father. But he was blocked by Brother Chubi..."

The grandson emperor looked calmly at Li Kekankan in front of him, and carefully told about Cheng Saburo's development of movable type printing.

I feel that the efficiency and cost of this technique should be tested first, and if it is feasible, then use this technique to print a large number of books first.

When the prince’s leg injury is completely healed and he returns to Chang’an, the prince will personally present to the court and offer to his majesty...

Li Ke has already finished talking about the reason why Cheng Chubi would quietly purchase the printing press, and it was after the development of a new pattern.

I saw Empress Changsun sitting on the spot in a daze, without saying a word, but he didn't dare to bother, so he could only sit down and down.

I don't know how long it has passed before Empress Changsun slowly shook her head and let out a soft sigh, her eyes were a little red.

"Cheng Saburo, it's really intentional... Cheng Qian's ability to make him a friend is a good blessing for his life..."

"What the queen mother said is that although Brother Chubi has a temperamental excursion on weekdays, he treats his father and eldest brother..."

"I don't know, your father also knows." Empress Changsun smiled sweetly. "I just didn't expect that he would be able to do this..."

Empress Changsun gently stroked the smooth surface of the paper.

"It's that movable type printing is useless, and the paper patterns he made with a good price and reasonable price are enough to make the world's scholars happy."

"I will personally tell your father, don't worry, mother will leak the news for you in advance."

Hearing this, Li Ke, who seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Empress Changsun respectfully.

"Thank you, the queen, for being considerate of the children."

"You have both a close friend and an emperor in your heart, so how can I not help you." Empress Changsun stepped forward two steps and lifted Li Ke up comfortably.

When the Emperor Longsun arrived at the Ganlu Temple, Li Shimin, who had not retired for a long time, was still criticizing the memorial in the Ganlu Temple.

Seeing Empress Changsun walking slowly, she couldn't help but put a smile on her face. "Avalokitesvara maid, where is Xiao Sizi?"

Empress Changsun stepped forward with a smile and offered the bamboo tube in her hand.

"She is playing in the garden... Husband, concubine, here is a treasure that I want to dedicate to your majesty."

Li Shimin had a happy laugh, took the bamboo tube and said while pulling off the tube cover.

"Oh? Could it be that you got another ancient scroll or the book is not posted?"

When Li Shimin opened the cover of the bamboo tube, he took out the paper pattern there and saw the writing on it.

After reading the song "By Father's Order, Cheng Saburo Sends His Father Cheng Yaojin West to Chang'an", he laughed happily.

"What's the matter with that kid Li Ke? He would copy this poem and give it to me."

Seeing that the husband just looked at the poem in the happy mouth, he didn't notice what was the point at all.

Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile, and slowly shook her head. "Husband, that's not the point, please take a closer look..."

"Not the point?" Li Shimin glanced at his dear lady with a dazed expression, and then carefully glanced at his own Keer's handwriting.

After half a day, Li Shimin was very sure and authentic. "Um... this kid hasn't seen calligraphy for a few months, but it's quite profitable."

The empress, who was supposed to be the eldest grandson with a gentle and virtuous face, had already raised her hand blankly at this moment, and pressed the faint veins of her forehead.

Empress Changsun finally understood that her husband's observation power seemed to be off track, and she had to go straight into the tunnel alone.

"Husband, you really didn't notice how the paper in your hand is different from the tribute paper?"

"Gong paper...Gong...what kind of paper is this?" Li Shimin finally reacted after carefully examining the paper pattern in his hand for a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~, repeatedly examining the paper pattern in his hand with a look of surprise. I always feel that the quality of this paper should not be as good as that of tribute paper, but it is worse than ordinary paper.

Seeing her husband's expression that was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked, Empress Changsun finally felt that she had a lot of thoughts, and she said with a gentle smile.

"This is Cheng Chubi Cheng Saburo a few days ago, who improved the papermaking technique of the Chengjia Paper Workshop, and newly produced Chengjia Paper."

"That kid, he can make paper? Isn't it a joke..." Li Shimin almost uttered aloud, but saw the calm and pretty face of Guanyin's maidservant.

The ridiculous smile on Li Shimin's face gradually faded away, staring blankly at the paper in his hand, and the reassuring voice of Guanyin's maid heard from his ears.

The price of that Cheng's paper and the reason why Cheng Chubi would improve his papermaking skills.

Li Shimin looked at the paper pattern in his hand and even picked up his pen, and wrote several words beside the poem.

It was observed that after the ink was immersed in the paper, it was not smudged, but it was able to outline the handwriting well.

At this moment, he couldn't help shaking his head in disbelief.

The cost of this new type of Chengjia paper is only eight or nine per cent, which is five or six times lower if it is enough to tribute paper.

We must know that the reason why books were precious in the past was that they were precious in tribute to paper, and that they were troublesome and laborious to copy.

But now, the paper pattern that Cheng Chubi had worked out for the lead type printing was enough to shock Li Shimin's heart.
