Chapter 228: Whoever has done it beforehand, then talk about it
Now the popular papermaking process in the mainland of China is still made of bark, hemp and cloth, fish nets and other raw materials, after frustration, pounding, frying, baking and other processes, the same is true of Daxia Kingdom, but the amount of paper is increasing sharply every day, and the lack of raw materials has caused the phenomenon that paper is more expensive than money.
In Xiao Rui's memory, in the continuous improvement of the traditional papermaking process, bamboo paper was successfully invented, because the fiber of bamboo is hard, brittle and easy to break, and the technical treatment is more difficult, and it is not easy to make paper, but the improved process and high-strength pulping will create a fine and well-proportioned good paper, and in the Great Xia Kingdom, bamboo is lush and abundant, just suitable for bamboo paper!
In addition, movable type printing is needless to say, it is a disadvantage of thoroughly improving engraving printing, starting from clay movable type, to wooden movable type until copper movable type, greatly reducing printing costs and improving printing efficiency.
The combination of the two is simply an artifact.
Xiao Rui only remembered the general principle, so he explained the general principle to Emperor Xia. But this did not affect Emperor Xia's understanding, and after in-depth understanding, Emperor Xia really realized the power of bamboo paper and movable type printing, and believed even more in what Jia Xu said just now!
This is simply a cultural change in the Great Xia Kingdom!
Changing the status quo of the Great Xia Kingdom is a means for the rise of the Hanmen!
Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui and said solemnly: "I will take out 100,000 taels from the internal money, and you will send someone to me to personally develop bamboo paper and clay movable type printing, regardless of the cost." And this matter must be kept strictly confidential, Mu Chen, send a brocade guard to guard the workshop for me, and prohibit anyone from approaching! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mu Chen said.
Xiao Rui originally just wanted to make money, but he didn't expect it to be in his current state, but it could benefit Daxia, so he was naturally enthusiastic: "The sons obey the order, the father can rest assured, this matter is related to the society, and the sons dare not slack off." But these two things are no different from starting from scratch, you need to keep trying and experimenting, so the son should make it clear in advance, don't take a long time, as soon as the father is anxious, the son will be punished by the father! ”
Emperor Xia smiled: "I know, so I don't urge you, and I can promise you, when you succeed in manufacturing, I will authorize the Chamber of Commerce you recommend to exclusively issue bamboo paper and clay movable type printing within two years." ”
Xiao Rui's breathing suddenly became short.
Exclusive distribution within two years, not taken away by the imperial court, this can be developed, and it will inevitably make a lot of money!
"Father, don't worry, I am guarding with a whip, and I have the trust to complete this mission!" Xiao Rui was instantly full of fighting spirit.
Xia Huang nodded and said with a smile: "Sit down, I am too excited, I am so excited to see that you are jumping up with excitement, I am still very relieved that you are doing things." ”
"It is an honor for my father to trust his son so much." Xiao Rui said obediently.
Emperor Xia couldn't help but sigh: "How good would it be if your other brothers were so obedient as you?" ”
"What's the matter, Father?" Xiao Rui asked.
Emperor Xia said: "Do you know that in the early court today, all your five imperial brothers entered the palace and strongly opposed the list of officials submitted by the Ministry of Officials, what did they have in mind, I don't know?" ”
Xiao Rui only understood what the list was after hearing it, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "The officials are so efficient? ”
Xia Huang also nodded with a smile, and then asked rhetorically, "What's the matter, you don't have a recommended name?" ”
Xiao Rui replied: "Erchen is relatively low-key and doesn't know officials very well, so why bother to make trouble for my father and add unnecessary trouble." And the father, those are all officials below the fifth grade, selected by the cabinet, and presented to the father and the emperor, why do you have to work hard for the emperor, a few imperial brothers are really excessive. ”
"That's right! I won't be quiet for the New Year, and I have already returned to the cabinet, so let Li Mingyang supervise this matter. Xia Huang smiled.
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Li Shoufu is dedicated to the public, he will definitely be able to do this well, this is the end of the year, there must be a lot of people who want to visit his house, and there will be a lot of traffic in front of the door." ”
Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui, and ignored his words at all, but said: "It is not unreasonable that Li Shoufu can be the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has been sitting for six years, and he is still so stable. ”
"Erchen admires Li Shoufu quite a lot, and he must learn from him." Xiao Rui immediately changed his mind.
Emperor Xia suddenly remembered Xiao Rui's marriage, so he said: "Champion Hou will leave Beijing after the fourth year of junior high school, and he has no objection to your marriage with Zhuge Liuying, originally I wanted to marry after the year, but suddenly thought that Champion Hou's mother died less than three years ago, so wait a little longer." The champion Hou couldn't take care of filial piety for the sake of loyalty, couldn't keep filial piety for his mother, and took the liberty of giving marriage, which was also disrespectful to the old man. You are still young, you are only eighteen after the New Year, your career has not been successful, and you are not in a hurry to get married. ”
Xiao Rui said: "The sons are not in a hurry, the father is in charge of this matter." ”
"Speaking of marriage, Concubine Yun has always been begging to see me these days, hinting side-by-side that King Ke wants to marry Li Mingyang's granddaughter Li Ruoxue as a side concubine, saying that the two are in love, and it seems that King Ke will have to beg me after the year." Xia Huang Road.
"Cut..."Xiao Rui couldn't hold back and sneered.
Emperor Xia glared and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Erchen laughed at Concubine Yun and said that the two were in love, which was really a big joke." Xiao Rui said: "Son, look, it's Lang's lover who has no intention, so he has no choice but to ask his father for marriage." ”
"How do I feel, there is something sour in your words?" Emperor Xia quipped.
Xiao Rui said depressedly: "How can there be a sour taste, just for Ruoxue's sister, once the father gives marriage, it will hurt a woman, hey..."
"Smack!" Emperor Xia was so angry that he slapped the table and chair and asked, "You are quite bold, you dare to slander me!" When have I ever hurt someone! ”
Xiao Rui was straightforward, and regretted it after speaking, although His Majesty reprimanded, but his face was not angry, he put his mind at ease and said, "Erchen knows that he is wrong." ”
Emperor Xia snorted: "If you also like people, you can also ask me for marriage." ”
Xiao Rui said depressedly: "Father, the son is wrong, okay, how can the son have that kind of thought!" ”
"Don't really have an idea?" Emperor Xia shook his head and sighed, and said, "Manly man, what you like, you have to get!" If you can't get it, you have to fight for it, and you have to grab it! This is not to lose the true character of a man! If you worry about everything, you will achieve nothing! Remember, if you do it in advance, you will talk about it, and as for whether it is successful or not, you will think about it in the process! ”
Xiao Rui wanted to refute him, this kind of wolf thinking is indeed a good character, but it is not useful for everything, without careful consideration, what if you step into the abyss?
Emperor Xia seemed to see Xiao Rui's thoughts, and said: "Throughout history, you will find that those who have achieved great things have the attitude of becoming benevolent if they do not succeed. This attitude towards everything will urge you to do things well, which is a hint of the heart and a kind of inner strength. ”
Xiao Rui was silent, he listened to His Majesty's words in his heart, did he worry too much, always worried that his strength was not enough, and his connections were insufficient, so he was afraid and didn't dare to really fight and grab?
People die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, and they have always known this truth, but they have never really understood this truth.
Xiao Rui got up again and saluted respectfully: "Father, the son has been taught." ”
Xia Huang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good." ”
Xiao Rui suddenly had a thought in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Father, the son has a saying, I don't know whether to ask or not!" ”
"You ask!" Xia Huang nodded.
Xiao Rui took a deep breath and asked the curiosity in his heart for the first time: "Why did Erchen's mother die?" Is it really a disease? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rui's restless heart suddenly calmed down.
