"Paper is so important...!" Li Chengqian looked at Du He with some horror.

Here, Li Zhan chimed in: "Of course... Many things look small, but they are very important, paper is one of them, Du He's words just now, Cheng Qian, you must remember, these are the words of governing the world. ”

Li Zhan's words made Du He smile slightly, and then bowed respectfully.

"And bamboo can make paper?" Eldest Sun Chong looked at Li Zhan with some incredulity.

Li Zhan nodded and said, "That's right... Bamboo can make a kind of bamboo paper, this kind of paper is soft, curly and unswerving, and it is not moth-eaten, as long as we make it, bamboo paper will not be worse than rattan paper.

What's more, bamboo paper is not the same as rattan paper, rattan paper needs green rattan, this green rattan has only one quality, and the price remains high, while bamboo paper can be divided into a variety of qualities.

We could even make a paper specifically for toilet use, so that there would be no need for silk. ”

"If bamboo paper can really be made, then I'm sure that this bamboo paper will definitely be popular in Datang." Changsun Chong shouted in some surprise.

"I think it's not just the Tang Dynasty, but even the Western Regions, Tubo, and the grasslands are all going to be shocked." Du He looked at Li Zhan with an admiring smile.

At this time, Li Chengqian said hehehe: "Bamboo paper is not good, do you want to call Zhenguan paper." ”

"Huh...!" Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian and laughed, to be honest, Li Zhan didn't expect that his younger brother would still know how to pat Li Shimin's sycophants, Zhenguan paper, in fact, it was not impossible, and then Li Zhan smiled and nodded: "Yes..!" ”

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth curled, but Li Zhan didn't know the reason why Li Chengqian wanted to shoot Li Shimin's ass, in fact, Li Chengqian wanted to make Li Shimin have more feelings for Li Zhan, and he called Zhenguan Paper not for himself, but for Li Zhan.

...............................

Li Zhan papermaking, in fact, also found that there is a bamboo forest here so he came up with it, the production process of bamboo paper is very complicated, just soaking bamboo, it takes a hundred days, and the selection of bamboo materials is also very particular.

It must be five to seven feet of tender bamboo, of course, the paper made of such tender bamboo is also the best, called jade button paper.

You can also make paper without the best tender bamboo, but the quality is not so high, Li Zhan's encyclopedia records the production method of bamboo paper in detail.

Li Zhan is now choosing someone who can inherit this secret recipe for making bamboo paper, but the candidate has not yet been selected, however, Li Zhan is more inclined to Wang Dali.

In addition to papermaking, Li Zhan also prepared a coal mine, there is a coal mine in Zhushan, which was said by the owner of Liuye Village introduced by Wang Dali, as soon as Li Zhan heard that there was a coal mine, he thought of daily fuel, forging, burning lime, refining cinnabar, sulfur and so on.

The strongest coal can still be used to make iron, and there are many benefits, so Li Zhan is also preparing to open a mine, and finally there is the factory of Huo Zhezi, which is a kind of paper rolled into a tight paper roll with very rough clay paper, and then blown out after being lit with fire, although there is no flame at this time, you can see the red bright spots faintly burning, just like an ember in the ashes, which can be kept for a long time. When it needs to be ignited, it can be rekindled by blowing, but blowing is very skillful, it needs to be sudden, short, and powerful, and the air supply volume should be large.

These three businesses are almost not profitable in a short period of time, so Li Zhan asked Changsun Wuji to give him a million yuan to cooperate, but fortunately, Changsun Wuji agreed, and Li Zhan was also very happy.

In this way, after Li Zhan and his entourage took a turn on Zhushan, it was getting late, and Li Zhan took everyone back to Liuyezhuang.

And Tang Qiang, the owner of Liuyezhuang, already knew the identity of Li Chengqian and others, as an old Xuanjia army, Tang Qiang prepared with the most pious heart, after meeting Li Chengqian, Tang Qiang and Wang Dali used the standard Xuanjia military salute together.

"Please... Please... His Royal Highness the Prince...! ”

Tang Qiang let Li Chengqian sit in the first place, and the others sat down in turn, the table was full of wild game from the mountains, and what made Li Zhan shocked was that there was actually a big bear's paw in the middle.

Li Zhan looked at the big bear paw and asked, "Master Tang Zhuang, there are still bears in this bamboo mountain?" ”

Tang Qiang smiled and said, "Yes... However, in the deep mountains, it generally does not come out, this bear paw is hunted by me in early summer, and it has been chilled with ice, and it was originally intended to be used in autumn to paste autumn fat. ”

This paste autumn fat, that is, on the day of the beginning of autumn in ancient times, people were weighed on hanging scales, and the weight was compared with the beginning of summer to test the fat and thin, and weight loss was called "bitter summer". At that time, people's health was often judged only by fat and thin. Of course, you need to "make up" if you lose weight, and the way to make up for it is to "stick autumn fat", eat delicious delicacies, of course, the first choice is to eat meat, "stick to fat with meat". On this day, ordinary people eat stewed meat, and those who are particular about it eat white-cut meat, red stewed meat, as well as meat-stuffed dumplings, stewed chicken, stewed duck, braised fish, etc.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, this tradition was still there.

"Ahh Everyone smiled and nodded, followed by Tang Qiang and immediately beckoned everyone to eat together, Li Zhan took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and took a bite of the bear's paw, it was really delicious.

This bear's paw is steamed and has wild honey added to it.

The meat is elastic, the juice is full, and when he goes down, his mouth is full of sweetness, Li Zhan took another bite after eating, and then nodded and said, "It's delicious... It's really delicious...! ”

Seeing that Li Zhan liked it, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Big brother... If you like it, I'll send someone to bring it to you every day in the future. ”

Li Zhan shook his head with a smile and said: "It's too extravagant, and some things will get tired if you eat too much, don't fall into it, stop at the point, and know how to give up..!" ”

Everyone nodded frequently.

Li Zhan looked at Tang Qiang and asked, "Master Tang, you weren't injured when you hunted the black bear, right?" ”

Tang Qiang smiled, but Wang Dali, who was on the side, continued: "Li Gongzi... Don't you know, my brother Tang, used to be in the Xuanjia Army that pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, and this black bear was blinded by two eyes.

Then he was hacked to death with a knife, as long as my brother Tang carried a bow and arrows, any beast in this mountain would go around Brother Tang. ”

Wang Dali's words made Li Zhan interested: "Then why didn't the owner of the soup village go to Baiqi?" ”

"Homesickness...!" Tang Daqiang showed a shy smile and said: "The killing has been too long, which has made me feel homesick, and my parents, wife and children at home are always looking forward to us going back."

At this time, His Majesty knew, so he split the Xuanjia Army.

Homesickness, the hundred horsemen who stay, and those who don't want to ride can also go to other armies...! ”

"I see...!" Li Zhan had an admiration in his heart, and Li Zhan was also surprised in the past, why did Li Shimin dismantle the Xuanjia Army, you must know that the Tang Dynasty at this time does not need an army, and it is really a pity to dismantle an army like the Xuanjia Army.

Now Li Zhan understands that this is Li Shimin's benevolence, some people in the Xuanjia Army are homesick, in order to reward these people, Li Shimin let them go home on their own.

This is not something that every emperor can do.

The more powerful the army of many emperors, the more they have to hold it in their hands, Li Shimin is really different from these emperors, he is really a monarch through the ages.
