"Your Majesty, the King of Shu asks to see you." Wang De walked up to Li Shimin and bowed his head and said.

"That rebel son, and the face to come."

Outside the Taiji Hall, Li Er was rarely not busy with official business, sitting on a chair forcibly brought from Li Ke, basking in the sun, and hearing Li Ke's request to see, his good mood was destroyed in an instant.

"Your Majesty, to see or not to see." Wang De was apprehensive.

"Let him in." Li Er adjusted his posture and said leisurely.

"The son asks his father for peace, and I wish my father and the emperor good health." Li Ke didn't dare to make another time, and when he saw Li Er, he made a big gift.

"Did you come to see me angry with you?" Li Er didn't eat this set at all, lay lazily on the chair, and glanced at Li Ke casually.

"The sons are afraid, but the sons don't dare." It's been more than a month. This Li Er actually holds a grudge like this.

If others dared to talk to Li Ke like this, Li Ke estimated that he would take a big slap and call the other party in the face.

"What's the matter?" Li Er looked at Li Ke's attitude, and his heart was also a lot happier.

"Father, please see." Li Ke respectfully handed the stack of papers in his hand to Li Second.

Li Er took it casually, glanced at it casually, then threw it on the ground, and said disdainfully: "The workmanship is so rough, I dare to use it to insult my eyeballs." ”

"These papers are worth only a penny, of course, they can't be in the eyes of my father." Li Ke lowered his head and said flatly.

"What." Li Er snorted, bounced up from the chair, completely ignoring his imperial demeanor, squatted on the ground, and picked up the scattered papers in his hands.

Glancing at the paper again, he turned to Li Ke, and said with a shocked face: "Rebel, what are you talking about." ”

Luoyang paper is expensive, during the Western Jin Dynasty, because of Zuo Si, Luoyang paper was once scarce, and it was fried to 3,000 wen a piece, according to the price at that time, it was equivalent to 60 stone grain for a piece of paper.

Papermaking was slowly improved and developed by the Sui Dynasty, and the output increased a lot. Even so, by the time of the Tang Dynasty, the price of paper was not cheap, and a piece of paper could still be sold for three cents, which was equivalent to an ordinary person's ration, and ordinary people's homes could not afford it at all.

Li Ke brought a dozen pieces of paper, to say the least, worth only a penny, if this is the case, ordinary people can also grit their teeth and buy it to write.

Even if it is a penny per piece of paper, it is also a big impact for the family.

If this matter is true, it will be like a divine soldier descending from heaven to his blow to the five surnames and seven hopes, so it is no wonder that after Li Er heard it, his reaction would be so big.

Li Er was born in the Li family in Longxi, and he knew the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes, so he always wanted to suppress the gate valve of the Shi clan.

"Erchen has nothing to do, and the new papermaking method invented, although the cost is reduced, the formed paper, but the material is rough. Since he couldn't get into the eyes of his father, his son went back and destroyed it. Li Ke didn't seem to see Li Er's shock, and said deliberately.

"Rebel, you dare." Li Er scolded nervously.

Li Er took a big step forward, bent down and pulled up Li Ke, who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at Li Ke with joy in his eyes and said, "Hurry up and take your father and the emperor to see your papermaking skills." ”

"Don't look at such vulgar things." Although Li Ke was sincere on his face, he was proud and ruthless in his heart.

"Lead the way." Li Er's eyes froze.

Li Ke's attitude immediately changed, he didn't dare to continue to behave, and led Li Er to his residence.

"Father, son-in-law is ......." Li Ke said as he walked.

"We'll talk about it later." Before Li Ke could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Er.

Let's discuss it later, as soon as I heard it, there was a play, Li Ke was a little excited in his heart, and he diligently accelerated his pace.

"Paper, that's what these things are made of?" Li Er pointed to the remaining manganese, wheat straw, straw, sorghum stalks, etc. in the small courtyard, and looked at Li Ke with a shocked face.

"Yes." Li Ke replied honestly.

"It's a blessing, it's a great blessing." Li Er's face was full of smiles.

The main reason why Datang paper is expensive is that raw materials and other materials are scarce and expensive.

If you can use things like miscanthus straw, wheat straw, straw, and sorghum straw to make paper, then the raw materials are inexhaustible. There is no need to worry that people with ulterior motives have taken control of raw materials and forced the price of paper to rise.

"Nissan Geometry." Li Er asked with concern.

"Three hundred." Due to personnel and local restrictions, Li Ke can only produce so much per day here.

"Too little." Li Er immediately lost interest, and the joy on his face gradually disappeared. With a daily output of 300 sheets, it is a drop in the bucket for the entire Datang, and it is useless.

"Father, give his sons 300 people, 1,000 yuan, a large piece of land around Chang'an City, and his sons can monopolize all the papers in Chang'an City." Seeing the smile on Li Er's face gradually disappearing, Li Ke immediately understood what Li Er was thinking, and opened his mouth to say to Li Er.

"It's serious." Li Er really got hung up again.

"Seriously, the son is willing to make a military order." Li Ke assured.

"Okay, I will give you 500 people and 3,000 yuan, if you can't do this, you will not be spared."

Knowing that Li Ke was limited by personnel, money and land, Li Er boldly gave Li Ke an extra 200 people and two thousand yuan.

"As for the land, you will take someone to choose it, and within a thousand acres, I will give you all the reward."

Li Ke said happily: "Father rest assured, the son will not fail in his mission." ”

"If this can be done, I will consider your appointment." After Li Er said this, he left.

Understanding what Li Er implied, Li Ke took Xiao Liuzi, Zhang Sancai and others to the outside of the city that day and picked up the land.

A lot of water is used to make pulp, so the paper mill must be close to the water source.

Li Ke followed the moat and quickly picked more than 300 acres of farmland in the east of the city, and returned to the palace.

When he returned to the palace, Wang De had already brought people and waited for a long time in Li Ke's courtyard with 3,000 yuan in his hand.

"This is Your Majesty's hand, Your Majesty explained, the prince employs people, you can go to the Ministry of Industry and choose by yourself." Wang De ordered a few little eunuchs, and after moving the copper coins to Li Ke's house, he said respectfully to Li Ke.

"Is Your Majesty busy now?" Li Er was not around, Li Ke asked casually.

"I guess it's not busy." Wang Deluo replied after a moment's thought.

"The king has chosen the land, so he will go with the prince."

Li Ke found Li Er and asked for the land in the east of the city. took Li Er's hand, went to the Ministry of Industry, and received these 500 people.

After all the money, people, and land were prepared, Li Ke took these 500 people and quickly built the paper mill according to the ideas in his mind.

On the day the paper mill was built, Li Ke invited Li Er to visit, although Li Er was curious, but when he thought of the family, he still dispelled the idea of going.

Originally, the idea of letting Li Er name the paper mill himself was also dispelled, and Li Ke found his mentor Quan Wanji and named his paper mill.

"Datang's No. 1 Paper Mill."

Li Ke also seized this opportunity and used his identity as the king of Shu to collect all the five hundred craftsmen as dog legs, and also obtained a lot of dog leg value.

After receiving a hundred dog legs, Li Ke was also successfully promoted to the second level.

The reward that Li Ke received at the second level was that he could see everyone's resourcefulness, force, and favorability towards himself.

Looking at Liu Dali's eighty-five martial arts value and his thirty martial arts value, Li Ke felt that it was time for him to practice martial arts and fitness.
