Chapter 27

After Li Shimin said about the paper, he looked at Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao was sitting there making tea, and he was also thinking in his mind, what should I do about this matter?

Li Shimin didn't urge Qin Huaidao either, he knew that Qin Huaidao was very embarrassed and scared now, so he kept waiting for Qin Huaidao.

"Your Majesty, is there a mistake, how can Pepin get the paper, the best paper now is rice paper, if Peping makes the paper, which is similar to the rice paper, what is the use? Do you have to post tens of thousands of dollars every year? Wei Chi Jingde spoke first,

Of course he knows the importance of paper, if Qin Huaidao really gets the paper, it will be a big deal for the imperial court, and for Qin Huaidao, it is also a big deal, a mixed event.

"Yes, Your Majesty, is there a mistake?" Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Shimin and said carefully.

Li Shimin didn't answer them, but looked at Qin Huaidao and said, "I just said, to protect your Qin Mansion and your safety, several uncles have also heard it, what else are you worried about, just say it together!" ”

"Your Majesty! Is this true? Li Jing also looked at Li Shimin seriously at this moment and asked.

"It's true, he has a way, he has a way to be able to produce paper in large quantities, and it's cheap!" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Jing and said, and then Li Zhi also told Li Shimin about the matter, and now he fully believes that Qin Huaidao has this ability.

"This, Pepin, is it true?" Wei Chi Jingde immediately looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, but Qin Huaidao still didn't speak.

"Peping, if it's true, take it out, the children of the poor family, you need paper, the old man knows, you are afraid, but don't be afraid, Your Majesty has already said it, the old man and the uncles are still there, don't worry about anything, rest assured to take it out!" Yu Chi Jingde looked at Qin Huaidao and said very seriously, Qin Huaidao heard it, and looked at Yu Chi Jingde.

"Take it out, the world can't be controlled by the gate valve all the time, the children of the poor family need the opportunity to be promoted, otherwise, after a few years, the world will be in chaos again, and the gate valve family controls the court.

Once there is no Ming monarch in the imperial court, they will find a way to replace him, and the people will also be coerced, and the people will have to live a hard life again! Wei Chi Jingde sat there and continued,

Wei Chi Jingde was born as a blacksmith, he didn't read many books, and he had to learn some after he was in a high position, and he was a representative of the characters who really got up from the bottom.

"Yes, if there really is, His Majesty is also here, we are also here, don't worry about anything, if there is, you can get it out!" Li Jing also looked at Qin Huaidao and said seriously.

"Huh~" Qin Huaidao exhaled deeply, and then looked up at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister can do it!" ”

"Good!" As soon as Li Shimin heard Qin Huaidao say this, he stood up in an excited moment and looked at Qin Huaidao.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a request!" Qin Huaidao also stood up at this moment, looked at Li Shimin and said: "This paper, let it be supervised by the good brother, Your Majesty, you account for fifty percent, and we will share the fifty percent!" ”

"Do you fight for the loss of money?" Li Shimin heard it, and looked at Qin Huaidao with a little strange feeling,

In his impression, papermaking is a loss-making business, although Qin Huaidao said that it was cheap, but in Li Shimin's mind, if it was really cheap, he would make it in large quantities.

He thought that he would rather put in tens of thousands of dollars every year, but also let this paper be reduced to a price that ordinary people can afford, what he wants is to make this paper affordable for all poor children.

"Losing money?" Qin Huaidao was a little puzzled, how could he lose money?

"Isn't this a money-losing thing? I hope, well, just like this rice paper, such a big one, the cost will cost 3 yuan, I thought, if it is a penny, and the amount is large, I think the people will definitely buy it! Li Shimin said and took the rice paper on Qin Huaidao's desk, which was about the size of an A4 paper in later generations, and said to Qin Huaidao.

"So much, a penny? People can't afford it, right? We now hire workers for only one penny a day, and if you count food, it's only two pennies, and ordinary people can't afford it! Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin a little stunned and said.

"Well, as long as you can get paper that is cheaper than rice paper, the key is to be able to supply it in large quantities, then I can lower it a little bit, what I want is that all the poor scholars in the world can sell paper." Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and said very seriously.

"This, Your Majesty, if, I said, ordinary people can afford such paper, what price does Your Majesty think is appropriate?" Qin Huaidao thought for a moment and asked Li Shimin.

"Well, ordinary people can afford it, then, well, it's hard to say, of course, the cheaper the better!" Li Shimin thought for a while, and it was difficult to answer this question, after all, the cheaper the thing, the better.

"What if it's 10 pieces of paper like this for a penny? All right? Qin Huaidao pointed to the paper in Li Shimin's hand again and asked.

"How can there be such cheap paper, then how much money does Your Majesty need to get into!" When Fang Xuanling heard it, he immediately shook his head and said, papermaking is a money-losing business, if it is at a price like Qin Huaidao, then Li Shimin will lose money!

"The minister can do it, and 10 pieces of paper like this for a penny, the minister still has money to earn, well, he can probably earn about double, in fact, a penny can make about 20 sheets, which is currently the minister's calculation!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"What?" Li Shimin, when those ministers heard it, they all stood up in shock, and Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao tightly.

"The minister just said, if I take it out, Your Majesty, you will account for fifty percent, and our family will earn fifty percent, which can be regarded as benefiting the world's scholars!" Qin Huaidao still stood there confidently, looking at Li Shimin and saying.

"If it's true at this time, I'm right!" Li Shimin replied very quickly, a penny can buy 10 pieces of such paper, and there is money to be made, Li Shimin didn't think about it, and immediately agreed,

Now the rice paper has to be posted with money, and the output is still very low, so it must be supplied in limited quantities.

Qin Huaidao heard Li Shimin's words, so he walked to a dark room next to the study, they didn't know what Qin Huaidao was going to do, so they waited.

"Is this kid true?" Wei Chi Jingde was a little suspicious at the moment, he felt that Qin Huaidao was too confident.

"I hope it's true, so that my poor son of the Tang Dynasty will have books to read!" Fang Xuanling touched his beard and said, as did several other ministers.

"I, I hope it's true, you are all ministers around me, and you all know what I think, I have always wanted to make the rice paper innovate, but I have not been able to succeed, I also know that they cannot succeed, the people who manage the rice paper are all people from the family, how can they innovate?" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, his heart was full of hope, and he kept staring at the door of Qin Huaidao's dark room.

And after Qin Huaidao entered the darkroom, he reported a large pile of paper from inside, all of which had not been cut, and the size was one meter by one meter two.

Qin Huaidao just came out with those papers, Li Shimin and they immediately surrounded him, Qin Huaidao put it on the desk, and then unfolded it, occupying most of the table.

"Your Majesty, the paper you need, that's it, a large sheet costs no penny, but according to your piece of rice paper, you can actually cut about 20 sheets..."

"Here, where is the brush, here, and the ink, good!" Li Shimin took the paper and wanted to find pen and ink, so he saw that Qin Huaidao had it on his desk, and immediately picked up the brush and dipped it in ink and began to write.

And Fang Xuanling and the others also picked up the brush from Qin Huaidao's pen stand and unfolded it to dip it in ink to write.

"You two don't want to write, grind the ink!" Li Shimin saw Li Zhi and they were about to pick up a brush to write, and immediately shouted at the two of them.

"Oh!" When the two of them heard it, they immediately took the ink stick and began to grind, and then their eyes were staring at Li Shimin writing, Li Shimin wrote a lot of words, and he dipped a lot of ink to write, just to see how permeable this paper is.

Qin Huaidao also smiled when he saw that they were so fanatical, so he gave up his place and walked to the side of the tea set to continue making tea.

"Tut-tut? Such a white paper, the ink is so good, it is not transparent, good paper, good paper! Li Shimin wrote a lot, and after he finished writing, he looked at it and praised it very much, and then he looked for Qin Huaidao and found that Qin Huaidao was actually sitting there and continued to make tea for them.

"Qin Huaidao, is this thing really so cheap?" Li Shimin took the paper and asked when he came to Qin Huaidao's side.

"In the warehouse, there are tens of thousands of large pieces of paper, if you can cut millions of pieces according to the size of rice paper, if the cost of a piece is according to the price of rice paper, 3 yuan, then it is 3 million yuan, worth 3,000 yuan, Your Majesty, I don't have so much money in my house!" Qin Huaidao stood up with a smile and said to Li Shimin.

"Don't talk about three pennies, it's just a penny, and now you don't have it, and the money from the brick factory has not paid dividends yet!" Wei Chi Jingde said happily next to him.

"Is there anything else in that room?" Li Shimin pointed to the room that Qin Huaidao had just entered and asked.

"Yes, there are tens of thousands more, by the way, if you need it, take it back, take more!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"That's definitely needed, the old man needs to take more!" Fang Xuanling said happily, and at the same time, Li Shimin took the lantern and took Cheng Zhihei and they walked to the dark room, and when they went in, they were amazing, the room was full of white paper, and it was neatly stacked.

"Yes, yes, Pepin, yes!" Li Shimin stood inside, saying three good in a row, but he was excited.

And Li Zhi was also quite excited, he didn't expect that Qin Huaidao had already made the paper, if it wasn't for today's discussion of this issue, it is estimated that Qin Huaidao would never have released it.

"Your Majesty, this is a major event for scholars in the world!" Fang Xuanling knelt down at this moment and shouted loudly at Li Shimin.
