In the eight-character paper pattern, two or three of them bleed ink a little badly, but the situation of the other five is much better.

Rao is like this, and he still shocked Li Ke so much that he couldn't help himself.

"Brother Chu Bi, how did you grow your brain, you didn't want to engage in printing, why did you want to research and make paper again?"

Cheng Chubi, who is a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, glanced at His Royal Highness King Wu, who didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and said unhappily.

"Because I'm poor, can't I?"

As soon as Cheng Chubi's voice fell, Li Ke, who had seen the local tyrant side of Brother Chubi, was directly happy.

“…… Brother Chu Bi don't have to laugh, you invested in that small printing shop before, and you smashed it into 5,000 yuan at once.

With such a big deal, you are still crying poor in front of your little brother? ”

"Those 5,000 guan are what I made up even when I made a crotch cloth, okay?" Cheng Chubi glared at this guy unhappily.

"Your father owes me more than a year's worth of money."

Li Kekou looked at this brother with a look of indignation on his face crookedly. God owes you more than a year, it's clear that you made a fuss and the demon moth was deducted, okay?

But considering that he was in the old Cheng family like the tiger's den in Longtan, Li Ke decided to follow the heart, smiled, and lowered his eyebrows.

"That's your matter with my father, and I don't have anything to do with my younger brother."

“…… Hmph, you think, that one zhang of tribute paper, it will cost dozens of dollars, cut down, I'm afraid it is not enough for a book, if we print three or five hundred thousand copies, how much money will it cost to spend that paper alone? ”

"What else can I do if I don't figure it out myself?" Cheng Chubi sighed for a long time.

Before, I thought that as long as movable type printing was done, all problems could be solved.

But when the matter came to an end, I found that things were far from being as simple as I imagined, such as the ratio of lead-tin alloy.

And the cylinder press, but also the ink, and even the paper, almost everything, needs to be overturned......

All of this is a good treasure made by myself and racking his brains, just to cooperate with lead movable type printing.

Listening to Cheng Chubi's half-complaining and half-boasting about his great achievements there.

Li Ke looked at Cheng Chubi, the brother who cut off the head of the chicken and burned the yellow paper, and the shock in his heart far exceeded what could be expressed on the surface.

Cheng Chubi didn't have time to pay attention to the stunned Li Ke, looked at these paper patterns with a happy face, asked Cheng Hu carefully, and gave a new solution.

In fact, it is to extend the boiling time, as well as the soaking time, and then increase the number of grinding.

Of course, Cheng Chubi only put forward his own idea, and the specific details naturally had to be repeatedly tested by the Cheng Family Paper Mill in charge of Cheng Hu.

After Cheng Chubi encouraged Cheng Hu, he asked him to make it as soon as possible, and strive to send a batch of paper samples over within three or five days.

After Li Ke had a fragrant breakfast in Lu Guogong's Mansion, he slapped his ass and left a little distractedly.

And when this guy left, he also took three of his own calligraphy works, saying that he was not satisfied with his writing and wanted to take them away.

Cheng Chubi already has five calligraphy works of His Royal Highness King Wu of the Tang Dynasty in his hands, so naturally it doesn't matter if there are three less, after all, they are all duplicates.

Besides, things should also be scarce and expensive, if Li Ke's calligraphy works are rotten on the street, then Cheng Chubi is afraid that there is still ink in his buttocks.

#####

Of the three calligraphy works that Li Ke took away, two had the problem of ink immersion, and one had no problem.

After leaving the Lu Guogong Mansion with the bamboo tube containing these three characters, Li Ke first rode his horse in the direction of the palace.

But before and after arriving at the gate of the palace, Li Ke couldn't help but hesitate, after all, he felt that this kind of Cheng family paper was really important, after all, the court spent a lot of money on paper every year.

In addition, his father had complained privately before that the amount of money spent by the court on paper every year was not a small amount.

However, a large number of hard yellow tribute paper and Xuanzhou tribute paper will be used in the annual correspondence, official documents, and various text copywriting.

Because only these two kinds of paper can bear the pen and ink writing, my father also urged the Ministry of Industry to develop new paper, but either the quality is too strong and unsatisfactory.

Either the cost is high, and it has not been able to obtain more affordable paper.

But now, if it is used to dedicate it to his father, will it disturb the calculations of the brothers everywhere......

A cadre of guards looked at their prince in a daze, stood at the gate of the palace and sighed for a long time, and then shook his head dejectedly.

"That's it, go home."

The group of people did not open their mouths to inquire with each other, and followed His Highness back to the mansion.

However, after returning to the mansion, Li Ke was still a little restless, after all, this matter was really not small, he wanted to keep the secret of lead movable type printing, and at the same time wanted to let his father know the good news of Cheng Jiazhi......

This operation is too difficult, but in case the father knows that he is also an insider, hehe......

As soon as he thought of the consequences of concealing and not reporting, he instantly began to feel that his stiff buttocks and hot Li Ke really couldn't sit still.

What should I do if I don't want to be swollen?

After Li Ke, a handsome and handsome bad prince, turned his eyes countless times, his eyes finally lit up, picked up the bamboo tube that was resting beside him and strode out of the hall door.

"Your Highness, you are ......"

"Let's go, follow this king into the palace."

“？？？” The two of them had accompanied Li Ke at the gate of the palace for a full pillar of incense, and then with Li Ke, they returned to the palace with less than a pillar of incense, and the guards were stunned.

Your Royal Highness, what kind of demon moth is this going to make?

Although he didn't understand, he could only harden his head, and followed Li Ke to leave the house again and head towards the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Li Ke turned over and jumped off the horse, copied the bamboo tube and went straight to the palace.

And his own eunuchs came forward to see His Royal Highness King Wu and asked where he went.

"Today, this king has something important to go to find his mother, and he will not lead the way quickly." Li Ke bowed slightly to the eunuch and commanded.

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun was looking at Li Mingda, a lovely and smart girl, who was sitting in front of the desk and writing with a pen in an orderly manner.

Although her pen power is vain and her handwriting is a little crooked, it is already extremely remarkable for such a small doll to do this.

Empress Eldest Sun watched with satisfaction and satisfaction as she practiced her words there seriously, looking at her little face that looked very similar to herself.

I still remember that when I was a child, I really didn't have such a mellow girl, and when I thought about it, Queen Eldest Sun couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

Although this empathetic and good girl is much rounder, she also has an extra benefit, and now she really rarely gets sick.
