=================

It's June, and it's getting hot. In fact, the heat of the palace is still not very much, the wooden buildings, each palace is very tall, at least the palace where Li Zhi works and rests, is very tall. It has a very good thermal insulation effect.

But the heat wave still rushed in from the door, not standing, not sitting, even if you don't exercise, there is a lot of sweat on your body, sticky, hot and uncomfortable.

Two little palace maids carried large banana fans made of bamboo slices and fanned for Li Zhi.

Gradually, Li Zhi shrank in bed and fell asleep.

Originally, his health was not very good, but the disasters for many years made him mentally exhausted, and he lost a lot of weight in his life. It looks like an oversized rickets shrimp.

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Zhi with pity, her husband is a good husband and a good emperor, but God doesn't seem to have long eyes, and whispered to the eunuch: "Let Your Majesty have a good rest, no matter what happens, don't disturb Your Majesty." ”

"Whoa."

Wu Zetian walked out with Li Shoucheng.

Li Zhi was in a bad mood, and she was even more uncomfortable. In fact, it's strange to say, since following her husband to become a Zen monk that year, the year has begun to get bad. Disasters occur almost every year. This made her heart very blocked, no matter whether she exceeded the system or not, over the years, she had indeed done a lot of things for the Tang Dynasty, even if the eldest grandson queen she admired was alive, she might not have done much by herself.

The drought could not be alleviated, and finally a few ministers couldn't help it, Hao Chujun and others, many times, to hold a big pheasant sacrifice. He also said in very vague words, such a disaster year is rare in history, and it was too late to pray, but now that the imperial court is planning to hold a big pheasant festival, why should it be stopped? Can Heaven not be angry?

The big pheasant sacrifice is small, this is forcing the palace, once you can't ask for rain, all the contradictions will sneak out, and you will inevitably make a fuss about yourself when the time comes. His heart is condemnable, but these people say it so cleverly that people are helpless.

"Where is the prince now?" Wu Zetian turned his head to Li Shoucheng and asked.

The more severe the drought, the busier Wu Zetian became, and every day there were urgent twists and turns in various places, from Guannai to parts of Hedong Road and Henan Province, like snowflakes, flying towards Luoyang. Begging for food and supplies. Li Zhi was not in good health, so most of the twists and turns were reviewed by Wu Zetian. Even the situation of his son forgot to ask.

The most troublesome thing is not only this, she is fighting hard for the court, but a group of ministers are thinking about her all the time.

"Empress Yu, the prince left Shaolin Temple and went to Guangchengze."

"The prince has been fasting in Shaolin Temple for a long time, and a group of guards have been very hard, but it is not good to open the vows in Shaolin Temple. It's a good place to go to Guangchengze. Alas, he is a soft lord, who likes some small compassion, and even thinks about the mood of the guards. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very benevolent." Li Shoucheng replied cautiously. In fact, slandering in my heart, the emperor, a big family, is becoming more and more incomprehensible. At first, the prince was extremely disrespectful to his mother, but suddenly there was a big change. So the queen was angry at first, and then her attitude changed. As for the emperor, he first liked his son very much, but now, he is somewhat displeased. Dare to love this is faster than the June day, changing faces.

But why did the prince run from Shaolin Temple to Guangchengze, Wu Zetian did not say. Li Shoucheng will not ask without interest.

Wu Zetian said again: "That bamboo paper is about to be time?" ”

"Yes, but the queen can rest assured that the slave maid has already instructed the craftsman officials to send a large number of craftsmen to assist. In fact, it is rumored that bamboo paper will be very cheap, and Xijing officials are also very concerned. ”

"Do you think the prince's bamboo paper will be successful?"

"The slave doesn't know." In fact, I was also worried about the prince in my heart. In fact, after the Zhongnanshan assassination case, all officials in Chang'an thought the same way, the former prince had a gentle personality, and there were really not many people who had offended. Almost no one was disgusted with him, so it was immediately decided that it was the assassin who must have done it by Helan Minzhi. Even Wu Zetian is no exception, what evidence is not needed, it is what you instructed.

But this character is not good. When Di Renjie talked to Li Wei, he also vaguely said that he was blindly weak, which meant that he couldn't help himself. If you can't help it, how can I help you? Therefore, the former prince wrote about the two princesses, coupled with the magnificent poetry and understanding of the soldiers, which made Liu Renliang have a good impression. If there is one less, Liu Renliang will not be flattering.

Although he is a close confidant of Wu Zetian, Li Shoucheng can't hate the prince.

Wu Zetian asked, and muttered a little in his heart.

The queen's mood, he understands, the situation is embarrassing, in fact, he has really done a lot of things for the court, and it is not very bad for the people, but he can do it, the emperor is a little relieved, the courtiers are against it, but the people are slandering. The mood is bad.

That's the case, the drought forced the queen, and it may be a little difficult to even protect the queen's status. So I got seriously ill and went to the doctor. I want to use bamboo paper to do righteousness.

Righteousness!

Not only does bamboo really make paper, but it is also really cheap, so cheap that most people in the world can afford it, not only that, the quality can be a little second, and it is not required to be compared with Yizhou hemp, but it can be written at least. These things add up, and righteousness can be earned.

But since the advent of paper, what kind of paper has done it? How many talented people are improving paper, and paper is still so expensive.

However, as soon as the queen preached it, the matter spread almost all over the world, if it didn't succeed, what would the prince do?

This is even lower than betting on the big pheasant festival, and the success rate is even lower.

But he didn't dare to say it. He bent down again and replied: "But the slave maid has already instructed people, once the bamboo paper comes out, immediately report to the eastern capital as quickly as possible." ”

"Well, come with this palace, Shangzhu incense."

"Whoa!"

Coming to the dormitory, there are various statues of Bodhisattvas in the middle of the dormitory, and there is a delicate copper incense burner under the statue, Li Shoucheng asked the palace maid to bring incense and burn incense in each incense burner. Wu Zetian also held three incense sticks in his hand and worshiped and prayed in front of each Bodhisattva.

With the sunlight outside, Li Shoucheng could see Wu Zetian with tears in the corners of his eyes.

The Queen, who feels very strong, does so many things every day, and serves His Majesty, like an iron man who will never fall. But a few people can understand the sourness and grievances in her, and Li Shoucheng's eyes can't help but be sour.

………………………………

"Little lady Liu, did you open today?" Early in the morning, he didn't even ask about government affairs, so Dou Zhide came to the East Palace to ask Liu Qun. There are many ministers behind him, Zhang Wenjun, Xiao Dezhao, Jiang Ke, and almost all the bigwigs have come over.

Li Wei did not look down, he must be very emotional when he saw it, if he paid so much attention to craftsmen, with the wisdom of the Chinese, maybe he would have entered the four modernizations in advance during the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, not so seriously, many, many reasons.

One is the identity of the crown prince, just like the carpenter emperor Ming Xizong in the Ming Dynasty, making a chair can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. If it's really so expensive, in the final analysis, it's still the emperor. The second is that if the bamboo paper is really as good as it is rumored, it has indeed benefited the world, and it has also been as Wu Zetian wished, and the righteousness has been achieved. The third is a small piece of bamboo paper, I don't know how to get it, it is related to the direction of the country's political situation.

So Dou Zhide forgot that he was a minister, and the other party was just a palace maid, and he actually used the title of a little lady.

Liu Qun was also uneasy in his heart, isn't it just a piece of paper, no matter how good it is, it's still paper, but now the array is too big. Those pools are guarded by guards day and night, and there are quite a few tourists, and almost thousands of people run to each other every day. But none of them could come close.

It's not without benefits, I originally wanted to ask some familiar craftsmen to assist, but now I don't need to ask, there are as many craftsmen as there are craftsmen, and what kind of craftsmen you want, there are what kind of craftsmen you want.

I'm really worried, what if the bamboo paper can't be made?

In fact, she thinks the same as Li Xian, and she wants to be so good, as long as she can make paper, she can prevaricate in the past.

After counting the time, the bamboo and lime have been steamed and boiled in the retort for eight days and eight nights. However, it is not a retort, it is more than 20 retorts, the heat of cooking, and the proportion of lime, Li Wei is not very clear, and this also has to be tested to get results.

But Dai Zhide and others were very worried in their hearts.

Originally, I didn't care much about the papermaking process, but in the past few days, almost all the ministers have asked about the relevant process of papermaking, not only papermaking, but more than half of the ministers now also know, some of the high-grade calligraphy and painting paper made of rattan and mulberry bark, in order to shine, but also use some materials to cook into paint, paint coating and then wax, and finally use coarse cloth or stone to polish thick calendering, and some of the writing paper in order to avoid beetles, specially dyed yellow with yellow barberry.

Knowing it, I know why paper is so expensive, and the cost of materials and labor is really high.

But I haven't heard of adding lime to steam.

Liu Qun didn't know much in his heart, and said in a snort: "You can open it today." ”

"Go ahead, then."

specially let Liu Qun get into the carriage and drove to the Xiuzheng Workshop. When I went from afar, I saw many people watching, and when I saw a large line of carriages coming, they all said, "Coming, coming." ”

Today, there are many people who know about it, so there are more people who come to watch than before, there are students, ordinary people, businessmen, and some paper-making workshop owners who rushed to hear the news, and even many ladies show up, which is more lively than the Lantern Festival.

The crowd dodged out of the way, and the convoy drove in, Liu Qun looked at the retort and said, "Open." ”

After opening the retort, the bamboo is still bamboo, in fact, it is only a soaking process, and it cannot really make the bamboo rot into a mess of mud. If you want it to be rotten, it is the next process, the mortar. Put this bamboo in a stone mortar and pound it with a stone mill until it is clayed.

After the end of the mortar, the rotten material is poured into the sink, and the bamboo curtain is constantly swinging, and the bamboo material becomes a thin layer attached to the bamboo curtain, and this thin layer is taken.

These processes are very fast.

The craftsmen of the craftsmen smashed the bamboo and began to pour it into the sink. The hearts of the people were lifted. As soon as this thin layer is formed, it means that the paper comes out. As for the quality of the paper, that's another matter. If it can't be formed, then this sensational bamboo papermaking will become a big joke.

The craftsmen began to put the bamboo curtain into the sink, and the bamboo curtain swayed in the water with a crisp sound. There is also a special emphasis on swinging materials, and the force is even, and the thin layer will be even, otherwise it will come out of the paper, and the thickness is also different. But this doesn't matter now, the main thing is to get the paper out, preferably very thin.

There was silence in all directions, and they all opened their eyes wide, looking at the row of two dozen or so sinks. After a while, the first craftsman took out the bamboo curtain......
