Chapter 417: Eight catties

As soon as the improved paper was listed, it caused a sensation in Dawei.

Readers lined up to buy it, including Li Xingchen, who also switched to improved paper.

The quality of this kind of paper, Li Xingchen is not unable to invent, but unable to reduce costs.

Just like paper money, the quality is good enough, but the cost far exceeds the value of the printing itself, and it loses some meaning.

On the premise of controlling costs, things can be done well in order to make profits. This is also the reason why he spent a lot of money to cooperate with the Liu family.

The paper sold very well as soon as it was launched, and the Liu family believes that it will sell better and better in the future.

I even thought that it would be better to be in charge alone, and the profits from selling short paper every day would be all my own, and it would not be a problem to earn tens of millions of copper plates a year.

Of course, he just thinks about it casually, because he doesn't have the start-up capital at all, even if he does, the Liu family has no backers and no connections, maybe they have been robbed a long time ago, and the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty.

Now cooperating with the court, who dares to fight the doctrine of the court?

The Liu family is hooked with the Royal Paper, which is equivalent to being hooked with the imperial court, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can walk sideways in the capital.

After that, Li Xingchen set a time limit for the patent, which was the same as later generations, fifty years.

Of course, this is the maximum patent life.

In later generations, there are also many patents that are less than 10 or 20 years old, and the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Patents that are too long will affect social development, and the best time frame is 20 to 30 years.

However, the national conditions are different, Dawei is backward, transportation and information dissemination are slow, fifty years is not short, but not long, Li Xingchen is confident that Dawei has always been ahead of other countries and has always been the world hegemon, so it doesn't matter if the patent is longer.

We are not afraid of being like later generations, developed countries restrict the development of underdeveloped countries with long-term patents.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner, but some people are becoming more and more unable to sit still.

In the capital, in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, in a mansion, the former prince is sitting in the main seat of the hall, and there are several black-clothed people kneeling in front of him.

This was the private army he raised when he was still in power.

Although most of Li Xingchen was wiped out after he took the throne, there were still fish that slipped through the net and survived.

"Are you ready?" The former prince said in a deep voice.

At this time, a man in black took out a black blade, "Your Highness, this is a new black blade with copper, which is stronger than the previous generation of black blades. A man in black said.

"The gun truck was also stolen out...", followed by another person's report.

The former prince's eyes lit up, "After I compete for the throne, you are all great heroes, and you will be added to the rank of marquis and prime minister." Money, fertile land, and beautiful women are all there. ”

Nowadays, in Dawei, the most powerful weapon is the artillery carriage, and it can be said that whoever owns the artillery carriage has the right to speak and has absolute strength.

He thinks that Li Xingchen can lead the Great Wei into the ranks of the hegemon, relying on all the artillery carriages, as long as he can have the artillery carriages, with the name of the first concubine, he will definitely be able to pull Li Xingchen off the horse.

"Your Highness!" The man in black trembled with excitement.

The former prince threw a big-eared scraper over and glared at him with a hideous face, "What did you say?" ”

The man in black was beaten, and instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately clasped his fists and bowed down: "Your Majesty Xie, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Several others also chanted long live, and the former prince was satisfied and laughed.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, get up, I am very satisfied with you."

At this moment, he desperately wanted to regain the throne, which was originally his.

The Great Wei Mountain was his, but it was just taken away by Li Xingchen.

"Your Majesty, the reply from Zhou Yuetian is that he will try his best to cooperate." A man in black said worriedly.

The former prince snorted coldly, try to cooperate, to put it bluntly, he has to consider, and he may not be able to help.

The old puppet clearly came to me first to accuse Li Xingchen of his unreasonable behavior towards Buddhism.

I promised him that as long as I regained it, I would suppress Taoism and revitalize Buddhism, but as a result, he still looked forward and backward, afraid that Li Xingchen would be afraid of his life.

Forget it, whatever, just don't blame yourself for being ruthless then.

The former prince waved his hand, "Let's all step aside." ”

The blacks quickly disappeared into the night, and the lobby was as silent as death.

Then he called the butler.

Although the current place of residence is not so luxurious, as Li Xingchen's half-brother, it is not much worse for him to live.

Stewards, slaves, and guards, all there should be.

The former prince is also from the royal family, and he has his own wrist ability, and after coming here for a few months, he will collect all the people in the palace.

However, this is also because Li Xingchen didn't care about finding someone to serve the former prince, so he was so easy to master.

"There are still a few days of full moon in all directions." The former prince asked.

He wanted to use his son to hold a full moon wine and call Li Xingchen and some ministers of the DPRK and China to the palace to celebrate.

No matter how you say it, he is also the eldest son of the Emperor Taishang, and Li Sifang is also the eldest son, I believe that Li Xingchen will give this thin face.

As soon as Li Xingchen comes, those ministers will definitely come.

Li Sifang was a maidservant girl after the former prince was captured by Li Xingchen and returned to Beijing.

I was born half a year pregnant, and I said that I was born prematurely, but I was white and fat, and I weighed eight pounds just after birth.

When Li Xingchen arrives, he will use the artillery truck to blow him up and regain the throne.

"Master, there are still three days." The housekeeper replied,

The former crown prince nodded, "Write more invitations early tomorrow morning and send them out, I will put a full moon banquet for the Quartet, remember, the emperor must be delivered first." ”

Whether he can regain the throne after three days depends on the last stand.

If you lose, you won't get a chance again.

The butler suddenly understood something with compassion in his eyes.

"Let's go down." The former prince waved his hand.

What belongs to him, he is bound to take back. As long as he doesn't die, it is impossible for him to give up the idea of revenge, the throne was originally a position that belonged to the lineage, and he refused to accept it if the concubine forcibly occupied it.

After the butler left, the former prince glared at the ground viciously.

Li Xingchen, you will definitely regret it, and I will return to you a hundred times the pain you brought me.

The next day, the Grand Duke entered the imperial study and said that the former prince had sent someone to send an invitation.

Li Xingchen took it and saw that it was the former prince who invited him to participate in the full moon wine three days later.

"Your Majesty, are you going?" The Grand Duke asked.

The housekeeper was still waiting outside the palace for a reply.

Li Xingchen pondered for a moment and nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Anyway, it was also the eldest son of his eldest brother, and the full moon sent an invitation, so he should go.

As he grew older, Li Xingchen had let go of many grievances, and at the same time he also hoped that the other party could let go.

But the former prince seems to have always been resentful, so go to the full moon banquet and see what he wants to do.

As soon as the Grand Duke went out on the front foot, the shadow guard commander arrived on the back foot.

After saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, the former prince's movements are getting bigger and bigger, he has gathered the former private army, I don't know what he is doing, the spies have not found it, and he is also very close to many ministers in the court..."
