"One, two, one", with a burst of passwords, Li Su ran at the front of a group of soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since entering the barracks, he has been exercising with the soldiers every day.

When those noble children saw Li Su like this, no one dared to be lazy.

Not so long ago, the knockout rounds were over. Of the 3,000 special forces candidates, only 1,500 remained.

For the 1,500 people who were eliminated, Li Su gave them three options:

First, when they returned to their original units, the Special Forces Command issued them letters of recommendation for outstanding soldiers, recommending them to be promoted and used in the original units. Second, if they are directly discharged from the army, the special forces command will issue a certificate of outstanding soldier for them and recommend them to work in local governments or state-owned enterprises. Third, they should continue to stay in the special combat team for two months and take the make-up examination, so they can meet the selection criteria of the special combat team, and they can continue to serve in the special combat team.

In general, the problem of unsuccessful soldiers was smoothly resolved.

The soldiers left behind were organized into a general team, three brigades, and below were also three-three formations.

Li Su stayed at the Special Operations Headquarters for another three months, and the training work was all straightened out, and a large number of officers, including Du He and Wei Chi Baoqi, were able to assume their responsibilities, and the training and management of the troops were carried out normally. Li Su left the Special Operations Command and returned to work at the research institute.

On May 3, Li turned 18 years old.

The day after his birthday, Cheng Chumo came back and sent a carriage of things.

Subsequently, Li Su called the Shangshu Emperor Fu Rui of the Ministry of Industry to bring these things into the palace.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

"Father, it's done." Li Su said happily.

Cheng Chumo and Yang Kang took out a bunch of things from a box and placed them on the table one by one.

Li Shimin saw that "ho" was all kinds of paper, including drawings, rice paper, writing paper, drawing paper, watercolor paper, sketch paper, charcoal paper, double red paper, striped writing paper, account paper, raw edge paper, leather paper, water writing paper, oil painting paper, and toilet paper.

The paper industry was underdeveloped in ancient times. Cai Lun summed up the experience of his predecessors in Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, improved the papermaking technique, and used bark, hemp, rags, old fishing nets and other raw materials to make paper, representing the highest papermaking technology at that time. However, the production is low, the quality is inferior, and the price is very high, so it cannot be popularized.

Li Shimin picked up the brush and wrote down one by one on the paper.

"Okay, good paper!" Li Shimin said excitedly.

Huang Furui introduced the uses of various papers to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin asked: "What is the output, what is the price, and can the people afford it?" ”

Huang Furui said: "There are many varieties of raw materials available for papermaking, one is coniferous wood, such as larch, Korean pine, masson pine, sylvestris pine, etc.; the second is broad-leaved wood, such as poplar, birch, eucalyptus, etc.; The third is grass plants: such as reeds, bamboo, miscanthus stalks, wheat grass, straw, dragon's beard grass, sorghum stalks, bagasse, etc.; Fourth, bast fibers, such as flax, jute, kenaf, sandalwood bark, mulberry bark, cotton straw bark, etc.

These things are available everywhere, are well-sourced, and have low prices. Therefore, the cost of paper production is very low, and the price of the paper produced is also very cheap. The people can afford it.

As for the output, this emperor can also rest assured that His Royal Highness King Liang has designed an industrial production model, which is not a problem. ”

Then Li Shimin picked up a thin wooden stick and asked, "What is this?" ”

Li Su said: "Father, this is called a pencil. As he spoke, he handed him a sharpened pencil.

Li Shimin held a pencil and wrote on paper like a brush, although he wrote words, but it was very awkward.

Li Su smiled and said, "Father, you can hold the pen like this." As he spoke, he showed him how.

Li Shimin took the pencil and tried to write again, and this time he felt that it was very convenient.

Then, Li Su picked up the eraser and erased a few of the words written by Li Shimin. Li Shimin picked up the eraser, like a child, wrote a word, erased a word, and said: "This is also good, it is easy to correct mistakes, and it also saves paper." ”

Then he asked, "How much does this pencil and eraser cost?" ”

Li Su said: "The main raw material of pencil refills is graphite, and there are many Datang, and the price is very cheap. It's just that the main raw material of this eraser is rubber. At present, the main production areas of rubber are Lin Yi (Vietnam) and Chenla (Laos, Cambodia), which are purchased by merchants from there, and the distance is long, the transportation cost is high, and the price is very high. ”

Li Shimin said: "This is simple, I ordered that King Lin Yi pay a large amount of tribute." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Father, there are several ways, one of which is to plant rubber trees in Lingnan near the southeast coast, but this requires a certain number of years. The second is to simply send troops to defeat Lin Yi and build the factory directly there. Lin Yi's good things are not just rubber. Why buy it if you can grab it? ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "You kid, you deserve to be my Li Shimin's son." Yes, when our military reform is completed and the military training is completed, we will use troops abroad! When the time comes, I will send you to merge it into the Tang Dynasty just as I did with the Western Regions. ”

Li Su said: "Father, when people mention war, they always think that it is a waste of money and labor, but in fact, it is not, in foreign wars, if the goal is appropriate, the tactics are appropriate. You can make a fortune. When I have time, Erchen wants to talk to you about this issue. ”

Li Shimin said: "Okay, when the reform of the military system is completely completed, we will discuss the issue of using troops abroad. ”

Huang Furui listened to their conversation and said in his heart: "This is really a father and son, the same domineering." ”

Li Shimin didn't say it casually, and then a series of expansion wars took place.

Li Shimin said: "This matter is kept secret for the time being, and the Ministry of Industry has to secretly build factories and hoard a large number of paper, pencils, blackboards and chalk and other things, waiting for the use of the imperial court." ”

Huang Furui said: "The minister obeys the order. ”

Then he said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Liang has also invented a good thing that works in Sheji, please take a look." ”

Li Shimin said: "Something, present it." ”

Cheng Chumo held a small box and put it on the table.

Soon, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, this time, I'll see how arrogant those guys are, I will uproot them!" ”

The next day, King Liang's Mansion.

Kong Yingda got down from the carriage and saw Li Su, the king of Liang, greeting him at the door.

"Master, you're here." Li Su said respectfully.

Kong Yingda also returned the salute and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't know what you are looking for the old minister?" No matter what, you have to invite the old minister to drink at noon. "Since the two of them competed in class and studied pinyin together, the relationship between them has been getting better and better. Kong Yingda admires King Liang very much and has already become a staunch supporter of him.

Li Su took a step forward, held his arm and said, "Master, it's a good thing." It's okay to drink, but I promise that today's things are much better than drinking. ”

Kong Yingda was physically strong and didn't need to be supported, but he enjoyed King Liang's respectful attitude towards him very much. He said happily: "Is there anything better, the old minister is very curious." ”
