Putting down the pen, Li Shimin bowed his head, "It's this person named Gu Qing again, who immediately brought people to me." ”

"Your Majesty, this Gu Qing is Sun Simiao's disciple." Fang Xuanling hurriedly added.

"Bring someone here." Li Shimin clenched his fists and looked at Fang Xuanling.

Gu Qing is selling paper, and there are many people buying it! Anyway, it's the first time I've seen such a cheap paper Chang'an, and it's just in time to reopen the imperial examination, how many people want to write and read.

Yang Sheng sighed that this guy's vision of making money was vicious.

"Who, did you pay for it?"

"Don't mess around! If you break it, you're going to buy it! ”

"Where did the doll come from, saliva is dripping onto my paper......"

……

Gu Qing collected the money in full swing, and suddenly a team of officers and soldiers came with knives, pushed aside the crowd and came to the stall, "Your name is Gu Qing?" ”

"A few officials." Gu Qing's action of collecting money in his hand still didn't stop, "Did I do something?" ”

A eunuch hurriedly ran over, pointed at the officers and soldiers and scolded angrily, "Your Majesty said that you want to invite!" What do you sword-bearers think? ”

After scolding, he said to Gu Qing with a smile: "This little boy, these Qiu Ba don't understand the rules, I hope don't be weird!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Gu Qing waved his hand again and again.

The little eunuch smiled and said, "We bought all the paper you have here, how much silver?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Gu Qing still waved his hand.

The little eunuch threw down a few handfuls of silver, "These are all yours, and we will buy all the paper!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Gu Qing still waved his hand!

"Grinding and chirping...... Do you take it or not! The officers and soldiers on the side were about to draw their swords.

Gu Qing was so frightened that he hurriedly accepted the silver, and the little eunuch scolded the officers and soldiers angrily: "What do you want to do!" Your Majesty said that you want to please, and now Your Majesty is benevolent, don't draw your sword at every turn. ”

The knife on Yang Sheng's back was wrapped in a black cloth, and he was also nervous looking at a group of officers and soldiers.

The little eunuch said again: "Little boy, can you go to the palace with our family......"

"Don't dare to ......" Gu Qing was about to say something when he saw a few officers and soldiers who were about to draw their swords, and swallowed the words back into his mouth, "I'll go with you." ”

"Please." The little eunuch arched his hand and said, "These guys don't understand the rules, they are all rough men, don't be surprised." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Gu Qing said again and again, and before leaving, he told Yang Sheng to be optimistic about the stall.

followed the eunuch all the way in small steps, after all, I was still very nervous in my heart, seeing that this eunuch was smiling so insidiously, should I want to punish myself? I also have to chop off my own head, what to sell is not good to sell paper! There was a pang of remorse in my heart.

I walked into the palace in a daze, and came to a place that looked like a study, where a middle-aged man was observing his new paper, and an old guy was Fang Xuanling at first glance.

"Uncle Fang!" Gu Qing hurriedly shouted, hugging your thighs is the most important thing at this time.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Fang Xuanling coughed, giving Gu Qing a look.

"You still don't salute when you see Your Majesty today!" The little eunuch said anxiously.

"Huh? Ao ......" Gu Qing hurriedly bowed down and made a four-like salute, "Grass people Gu Qing, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin observed Gu Qing and said, "You are Sun Simiao's disciple?" ”

"Yes!" Gu Qing replied honestly.

"You made this paper." Li Shimin asked again.

"Right? ......" Gu Qing said with a little twist.

"What's that called, right?" Fang Xuanling jumped to his feet anxiously: "Your Majesty asked you, yes, or no!" ”

"Yes!" Gu Qing didn't dare to raise his head, this is the current emperor! If this guy has a temper, I'm afraid he will be ranked in the immortal class.

"You made this paper, but does anyone else know how to make it?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Back to Your Majesty." Gu Qing raised his head and said: "This is the guy who eats, it's just my family, if it is learned by others, I ...... I ......"

Gu Qing stopped as he spoke, and hurriedly lowered his head again to resume his humble posture, "If Your Majesty wants to, the grass people are willing to offer this method of making new paper." ”

"Hehehe......" Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "This kid is really spineless." ”

Fang Xuanling also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Dogs' lives matter! Gu Qing was sure in his heart.

"Listen to your poetry is not bad?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said: "It's a good sentence of ten years of life and death, don't think about it, it's unforgettable." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Gu Qing gave up his hand again.

Li Shimin continued: "Gu Qing, do you know how many people I have in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"It should be quite a lot...... Gu Qing said.

"Boy, I want to reopen the imperial examination, do you know what it is for?"

Li Shimin's eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, Gu Qing didn't dare to look directly and bowed his head and said: "The grass people understand, Your Majesty is benevolent, and for the livelihood of the people, the grass people admire." ”

The little eunuch twitched the corner of his eyes when he heard it, what a sycophant!

An ambiguous answer, let Fang Xuanling breathe a sigh of relief, the reopening of the imperial examination is to let the poor students come out, today's Datang scholars do have, most of them are in the hands of the family gate, reading and reading can't get around a book, if there is cheap paper, Datang can have more books, there are more readers.

Li Shimin opened the imperial examination in order to get rid of the control of the Shi clan gate lord in the court, there are too many officials in the court who are children of the family, this is the emperor's real intention, Gu Qing answered whether it was intentional or intentional.

If Gu Qing had said the true intention of reopening the imperial examination, then Li Shimin would not be smiling now.

The family gate valve knows Li Shimin's intentions, and if Gu Qing moves closer to the side of the family door valve, this kid is not far from death, and being confused has the advantage of being confused, and pretending to be confused is also a kind of cleverness.

"Are you really willing to dedicate the method of making new paper to Datang?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Willing to ......" said Gu Qing and hesitated a little, "What's that...... Can I take a little bit, just a little benefit. ”

"Presumptuous! Do you think this is shopping for groceries in the East Market? Fang Xuanling scolded loudly: "I still ask for a mouthful." ”

"The grass people don't dare!" Gu Qing's head lowered even lower.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Boy, I have accepted your skills in making new paper, and I will open a paper mill in Chang'an, how about you share the monthly surplus?" ”

"Dividends?" Gu Qing's eyes lit up, the people of the Tang Dynasty already knew how to play like this? Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that thirty percent is okay!" ”

"You!" Fang Xuanling saw that he was about to scold again.

Li Shimin waved his hand and raised the new paper and said with a smile, "Yes, Sancheng!" Gu Qing, I ask you what if this paper is from other paper mills besides my paper mill. ”

"The grass people's heads fall to the ground!" Gu Qing shrunk his neck as he spoke.

In front of the current emperor, he nervously wrote down the method of making new paper, how to make several percent of the raw materials, how to beat the pulp, how to scatter the pulp, and left after writing.

Li Shimin looked at the words written by Gu Qing and whispered, "The words written by this kid are really ......."

Looking at the crooked words, Fang Xuanling looked away, "It's just unbearable." ”
