Chapter 44: The Birth of Paper

A quarter of an hour later, Li Tai, who was a little annoyed, was about to raise his head and tell Qin Feng that there was a problem with this question, but he didn't see Qin Feng's figure. Immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Feng, don't let this king see you!" Hum! While scolding, he took the guards back to the dormitory.

Qin Feng and Li Ke walked all the way out of the palace and towards the Yiguo Mansion. When the two returned to the Yiguo Mansion, Li Ke asked the escorted guards to return to the palace, and went to the small courtyard with Qin Feng. What he didn't expect was that several people didn't return home, and they were all waiting for Qin Feng in Qin Feng's small courtyard.

"Fengzi, I heard from my father that when I came back two days ago, I was assassinated by a dead soldier, and Miss Ziyan was also seriously injured! What the hell is going on? Do you know who says what? Cheng Chumo just looked at Qin Feng and asked Qin Feng. Several other people also looked at Qin Feng and wanted to know what was going on.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Zi Yan was hit by an arrow to save me, and Sun Daochang had already helped to treat me, and now he is fine, recuperating from his injuries in Qinzhuang! Qin Feng said to a few brothers, his heart was warm, it was good that someone cared.

"Did you find out who it was?" The eldest grandson asked at Qin Feng.

"My stepfather and His Majesty are already investigating. Okay, don't talk about this, let me tell you something, I'm going to open a perfume shop in the East Market, specializing in soap and the perfume I gave to Niangniang today, divided into the same as before, one percent for each family, and the remaining thirty percent I have sent to the queen! I have to go back to Qinzhuang tomorrow, Chongzi, Huaiyu and Xiaoke, you three don't have to go to Qinzhuang with me, you find a shop in Dongshi, it's best to buy it, and you can get the money from Qin Xiaoliu. ”

"Good!" Li Ke and the three nodded.

"You find a good perfume shop, I am looking for a piece of land, I am going to build a restaurant, this matter is a snack, I am going to do it in two months, Xiao Ke, you remember to go to Your Majesty to ask for two words to make a plaque, and then make the signboard of the perfume shop and the restaurant. Your Majesty wants to be stingy and don't give it, so you will tell Your Majesty that the three components of the restaurant will be given to him! ”

"Will this work?" Li Ke asked Qin Feng in disbelief.

"Your Majesty is your father, do you say it's okay? If you can't do it, go find the queen mother! Qin Feng said to Li Ke.

"Okay!"

Li Ke said without any confidence.

"By the way, have you come back with Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter?" Qin Feng asked Li Ke, the person was taken away by him.

"You're back, you're coming back with me!" Qin Huaiyu said on the side.

"Okay, let's go back to someone's house, if you don't leave, you won't be able to go back after a curfew!" Qin Feng began to pick people up, he was really tired today.

"Okay, then we'll come over tomorrow morning!" A group of people originally heard that Qin Feng had been assassinated two days ago and came to inquire about it, but when they heard that Qin Feng was fine, they walked out noisily, and they all went home, and they all had something to do tomorrow.

The noisy courtyard just now instantly became clean, Qin Feng looked at the bright moon in the sky, afraid that he would never be able to go back in this life.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Qin Feng got up, Cheng Chumo and the others were already waiting in the Qin Mansion, and with Qin Qiong's order, everyone returned to Qinzhuang, where they had stayed for more than half a month.

In the next month, Qin Feng was the busiest. The brick kiln experiment was burned five or six times before the heat of the bricks was controlled, and the amount produced was still very objective, and about 30,000 bricks could be produced at a time. Although it is not as bad as green bricks for thousands of years, it is still possible to preserve them for a hundred years.

The winery has also been built next to Qinzhuang, and it has started to produce wine normally.

Several industries that Qin Feng has done have begun to develop normally, but now the difference is that the paper has not come out.

On this day, Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and several other ministers, even Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others, who didn't know anything before, also gathered in Qinzhuang. Only some of the ministers of the family are not among them.

"Qin Feng, the paper is out? Take it out for me! As soon as Li Shimin entered Qin Feng's courtyard, he shouted at Qin Feng anxiously.

"Your Majesty, what did you just say? Paper? Fang Xuanling and the other ministers asked Li Shimin with a shocked face.

Li Shimin didn't answer, staring at the door. Qin Feng and a few brothers in the room were drinking tea, and when they heard Li Shimin's shout, they got up and went out to greet them.

"Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy, Qin Feng, quickly bring the paper that I can see!" Li Shimin can't seem to wait for a second.

"Your Majesty, please!" Qin Feng took Li Shimin back to the house. walked to the desk, pointed to a couch of paper on the desk and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this is the paper that the minister made recently, this is the cut paper, and it is sixteen times that of this without cutting!" ”

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others who followed behind also stepped forward and picked up a few pieces of paper and looked at them carefully.

"Where's the pen and ink?" Li Shimin looked at the paper, and asked for pen and ink to start preparing for the experiment. Qin Feng had no choice but to step forward to sharpen the ink.

Everyone stared at Li Shimin's writing, Li Shimin wrote a lot, and he dipped a lot of ink to write, just to see how permeable the paper was.

"Good, good! Such white paper, good inkability, not transparent, good paper! After Li Shimin finished writing, he put down the brush, picked up the paper and looked at it again, very excited. And the other ministers also had the same expressions as Li Shimin, excited and excited. And Fang Xuanling and the other ministers were already speechless with excitement.

"Qin Feng, how much paper came out this time?" Li Shimin Chao Qin Feng asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 6,000 copies! It's all uncut. Qin Feng thought for a while and said.

"So much?" Li Shimin didn't expect the output to be so large. This production is there, the paper is also out, and the only remaining problem is the cost. He asked Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, how much does this paper cost?" Li Shimin was a little apprehensive when he asked this sentence, and he was afraid that the paper would be outrageous. After all, he sent Wan Guan over at that time, so he wouldn't let Qin Feng make it all gone.

"Back to Your Majesty, the cost of a piece of paper that has not been cut is less than half a penny." Qin Feng thought about it, it seemed that he just used some workers, and nothing else cost anything.

"What? Are you true? Li Shimin and the ministers were shocked and couldn't stand it. This time, even the generals who didn't study were surprised by Qin Feng's words. Paper knows that the best rice paper needs dozens of pieces of paper, and the amount is limited. The rice paper is almost more than five cents, and most of the people in the Tang Dynasty do not read because they can't afford paper, so almost half of the officials in the court are from the family. This is also what Li Shimin is anxious about. The cost of this paper should really be as Qin Feng said, how can there be people in the world who can't afford to read.

"Your Majesty, it is true!" Qin Feng returned.

"Qin Feng, on behalf of the world's poor disciples, thank you!" Li Shimin bowed deeply to Qin Feng on the side as he spoke, and the frightened Qin Feng jumped away directly. hurriedly bowed down and saluted Li Shimin. The ministers on the side and several of Qin Feng's friends were also frightened by Li Shimin's move.

"Your Majesty, the ministers can't stand your courtesy, eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries, this is what the ministers should do!"

Li Shimin laughed. Said loudly

"Good, good! Come on, the purpose! Qin Feng, the son of a strange man, has a meritorious work in making paper, and he is given a gift from heaven. Appreciate the food of thousands of households, from the three products. The fiefdom is under this Qinling Mountains. ”

Qin Feng was a little stunned by Li Shimin's holy decree, and he was upgraded again so quickly? Won't it be a little faster?

Qin Huaiyu, who was behind him, saw Qin Feng in a daze, and stepped forward and kicked lightly.

"Qin Feng, thank Your Majesty for the reward!" Qin Feng, who came back to his senses, hurriedly thanked him.
