Chapter 566: Abacus

"I'm here to make paper, and when the paper is made, you'll know it."

In other things, Li Yu may not be so aggressive, but in this matter, he can't fight it.

Especially when a lot of people don't know about it.

After Li Yu finished speaking, Li Shang smiled, "Who are you fooling, I don't believe you can make paper." ”

Li Yu said, "I can make paper, do you want to bet with me?" ”

The two princes quickly quarreled in the court, and Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair and watched, but he didn't stop it.

This Yongde King of his own, when he was the prince before, he was a little simple, he didn't like to fight with people, he was a gentleman, and then he went to Shuozhou, relatively speaking, he has grown, but he still doesn't like to fight with people, which is not good.

Now that he is finally willing to fight, how can Li Yuan stop it?

When the prince fights, the court will be balanced, this is the imperial technique he learned from his teacher.

"Bet on it, what don't you dare to bet." After Li Shang finished speaking, he faced Li Yuan and said, "Father, the son wants to make a bet with King Yongde, please ask my father for permission." ”

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and then asked, "Okay, what are you betting on?" ”

"If Tang Yu makes paper, even if Erchen loses, if he doesn't, even if Li Yu loses, then I want him to make alkaline noodles, and he is not allowed to make alkaline noodles again."

As he spoke, Li Shang looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Do you dare?" ”

Li Yu smiled lightly, "What is there to dare to do, but if I make paper, you lose, and I don't want any money from you, you just need to kneel down and kowtow to me three times, how about it?" ”

"You ......" Li Yu's bet is very insulting, he is a prince kowtowing to a county king, what is this?

However, he soon laughed again, "Okay, I promised, I don't believe you can make paper." ”

Li Shang was very confident that if he won, then he could monopolize the alkaline noodle business in the entire Tang Kingdom, and he would be able to make it at that time.

He was very strange, such a good thing, Li Yu was willing to share it with others, I really don't know what his brain thinks.

The early dynasty ended like this, after Li Yu left the palace, he didn't look at the paper-making situation, in his opinion, as long as those craftsmen did what he said, there was absolutely no problem in making paper.

So he went straight back to the house.

"Cui Tong, according to what is written on this, go and get me the tools."

Cui Tong took a look at the list, there were not many things on it, bamboo sticks, beads, and some fine wood.

This thing was too simple for him, so it didn't take long for Cui Tong to find all these things.

After the things were found, Li Yu found a few craftsmen, and then handed over the portrait of the abacus to them.

"Do it for me according to what is drawn above, whoever does it well and does it beautifully, this king will be rewarded."

The craftsmen didn't know what an abacus was, but after they took a look, they thought it was not difficult to do, so they immediately started to do it.

Cui Tong suddenly became worried.

"Lord Wang, are you going to lose your mind again?" The abacus looked like a toy, and this thing was Li Yu's favorite thing to play with when he was the prince in the past, and he was worried that Li Yu would return to the way he was before.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu's slap was slapped, "What are you thinking, this king wants to make an abacus, a tool that can be quickly calculated, and the efficiency of the household department will be much higher at that time." ”

Hearing that the prince of his family was not a plaything, Cui Tong sighed, which was relieved.

----------------------

Time was slow, and two days later, a subordinate hurriedly ran over.

"Lord Wang, those paper-making craftsmen sent a message that they had made paper."

Hearing that the paper was made, Li Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly led people to the paper mill.

After they arrived, the craftsmen took out the paper they had made, and the paper was white and tough, but it was not enough to look at it this way, and it was necessary to try it to know if it was good or not.

Li Yu took out a brush and wrote two words casually, and the words were left on the paper after they were written, and there was no infiltration, and after seeing this, Li Yu finally nodded with satisfaction.

The best paper is to look like this, if the paper is written and the ink penetrates, then the paper is definitely not good.

After making the paper, Li Yu ordered someone to take some, and then hurried to the palace, and at the same time, he also sent someone to call Li Shang.

In the palace, in the imperial study, a group of people were standing, looking around curiously, they wanted to know where Li Yu's paper was, but Li Shang was a little unimpressed, he didn't believe that Li Yu could make paper.

"Li Yu, where's your paper?" Li Shang looked at Li Yu and asked.

At this time, Li Yuan also looked at Li Yu curiously, Li Yu said that he had paper, but he didn't see it.

Li Yu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, "The paper is here." ”

As he spoke, he took out the folded paper from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it, finally covering the entire imperial case.

Everyone didn't expect Li Yu to really take out something, but Li Shang still refused to give up at this time, what if this paper didn't have the effect that Li Yu said?

Everyone looked at Li Yu, and Li Yu saluted Li Yuan and said, "Father, can I borrow your imperial pen?" ”

Li Yuan smiled: "Take it!" ”

Li Yu stepped forward, picked up the brush, splashed ink on the paper on the spot, and after a while, a song "Plugged Song" was written.

The Han family is full of Yin Mountain, and they don't send Hu'er back.

I am willing to serve the country with this length, why should I be born into the Jade Gate Pass.

The handwriting is heroic and arbitrary, it looks extremely beautiful, and the poems have an indescribable wild atmosphere, but at this time, everyone didn't care about the handwriting and the poem, everyone was just suddenly shocked by the paper.

"Isn't it, this thing can really write?"

"It's easy to carry, and the writing is very clear, better than those silk cloths."

"Yes, the key is cheap, silk cloth is too expensive, who can afford it, generally cut a few bamboo slices, but if you want to use bamboo slices, you have to roast them on fire, alas troublesome......"

Everyone, you are saying a word, Li Yu stood beside him, looked at Li Shang and smiled, "His Royal Highness the Wing King, I don't know who loses and who wins now?" ”

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the Wing King Li Shang, Li Shang's cheeks were flushed, and he cursed in his heart.

"What do you want?"

"It's not good, according to what I said before, just kowtow to me."

"Father?" Li Shang wanted to intercede, but Li Yuan pouted, "I'm willing to gamble and lose." ”

Li Shang was helpless, so he could only kneel down and kowtow to Li Yu a few times, Li Qing watched from the side, revealing a light smile.
