The next day, Du Shaoqing saw Li Er's papermaking workshop under the leadership of the servant Lao Gao, which was a papermaking workshop run by the imperial court, and the people of the Tang Dynasty generally could not afford to use rice paper, this papermaking workshop used mulberry bark, and the paper made was light and soft, with strong tensile force, and the stubble was torn off like cotton wool, so it was also called cotton paper.

The materials of the whole Datang papermaking can be said to be varied, basically all of them are made of Cai Lun's improved papermaking technology, mulberry bark is mostly used in the north, straw is mostly used in the south of the Yangtze River, and rattan paper made of rattan bark is used by people, and the paper made of fishing nets and rags is collectively referred to as hemp paper and so on.

But there are so many types, and only rice paper can be used for writing, and the others are all for daily use.

"Du Horse, this workshop will be handed over to you, if there is still something missing, please give the horse a famous word, and the old slave will supervise it immediately." The chamberlain Lao Gao said.

Du Shaoqing asked with a smile: "From now on, these people are all mine?" ”

"Uh...... Your Majesty's original words, all of them belong to the horse. Lao Gao was stunned for a moment, and almost laughed, saying in his heart that this horse master is not like a greedy person.

"Can you send me a team of guards? After all, the papermaking matter needs to be kept secret for the time being, and if it is learned by criminals, it will be troublesome. Du Shaoqing suggested.

Lao Gao was puzzled, "Horse, there are a lot of people in the world of papermaking, if others learn it, it should be a good thing, it can greatly increase the output of paper, do you need to keep it secret?" ”

Du Shaoqing hurriedly shook his head, "That's not what you said, what if it's a spy from another country?" After learning our skills, go back to educate your own people, will the country be used to attack our Datang when the country is strong? So it's better to be cautious. ”

Well! That's right, Lao Gao instantly straightened up, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, don't worry, the old slave will arrange the defense, and I will tell Your Majesty when you go back." ”

Then Du Shaoqing found the old steward of the workshop and instructed them to empty the materials of the original workshop and replace the papermaking materials with newly cut bamboo.

Du Shaoqing smiled lightly, that is, your soaking time is too short, and bamboo and paper should be soaked for at least 100 days.

The old steward was skeptical, but he still did things according to his words, and then Du Shaoqing went back, papermaking is not a day, just wait.

Back at home, in the courtyard of the Earl's Palace, Xiao Xuanxuan was playing with someone, Du Shaoqing took a look, why did he come?

This person is also an acquaintance, the fourth prince Li Tai, the king of Fengwei, the brother of Princess Changle, and the fourth uncle of Xiao Xuanxuan, is a little fat man who is not yet twenty years old.

But at this time, he was tossed enough by his niece, Li Tai came to find Du Shaoqing, but when the person was not there, he was pestered by Xiao Xuanxuan to play with his fourth uncle, playing cat and mouse, what about cats and mice, cats are ready-made big cats, what about mice?

Li Tai is stupid, why me? Do you see my uncle and I are fat, like a mouse? Have you eaten such fat mice?

Xiao Xuanxuan smiled, stretched out her hand above her head, rubbed her feet and rubbed Li Tai's round belly, and explained in a serious manner that the fourth uncle was too fat, and his father said that it was not good for health, and he should run to lose weight, which is for your good.

Run? Weight loss? You kill me, Li Tai is a hundred unwilling in his heart, he is a fat man, and he is panting when he walks
