Song Jicai, who was in the racecourse, and the four of them received a letter from Zhao Yao.

They untied a letter from the leg of a sparrow, which said to take them in a spring hunt.

"Boss, tell us to participate in the spring hunt."

"If the boss doesn't call us, we will also participate in the spring hunt."

"We participate in the spring hunt every year."

"Speaking of which, we participated in the spring hunt last year, and we didn't see the boss."

Chu Huan said: "Last year, the eldest was only five years old, too young, so he didn't participate. This year, the eldest is six years old and can participate in the spring hunt. ”

Song Jicai clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped the palm of his left hand, and said with a very excited expression: "The boss's archery skills are superb, and with the boss's participation this year, we will definitely be able to show our skills in the spring hunt." ”’

Shen Sen instantly understood what Song Jicai meant, and his expression became excited.

"With the boss here, we must have hunted a lot of prey this year, and we must let Daddy and them see how good we are when the time comes."

"Yes, the boss is very good at archery, and with the boss here, we will definitely be able to hunt a lot of prey this year." Zhang He reacted at this time and said with great interest, "When the time comes, the dads won't laugh at us for being useless." ”

Chu Huan saw Shen Sen and them with a look of "we are finally going to raise our eyebrows", and unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on them: "Have you forgotten that the boss is hiding his strength in the palace?" The boss will not show his true strength in the spring hunt. ”

Hearing Chu Huan say this, Song Jicai and the others remembered this matter. The faces of the three of them immediately showed disappointment.

"I still want to follow the boss on the spring hunt."

Shen Sen leaned on the table and said, "The boss, this prince is really aggrieved. ”

Song Jicai held his face with his right hand and said, "The boss, the prince, has not done as chic and happy as us. ”

Zhang He very much agrees with Song Jicai's words: "That is, we are not happy yet." ”

Shen Sen said again: "Now it seems that there is nothing good about being a prince. ”

Chu Huan said: "When the boss becomes an adult, he will be crowned king, and then the boss will be able to go to his fiefdom, and at that time the boss will be more chic and happy than us." ”

"To the fiefdom?" Shen Sen sat up suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became shining, "Yes, after the boss becomes an adult, he will be able to go to the fief, and then he will be far away from the capital, and at that time we can go to the boss's fief with the boss."

Zhang He reacted very quickly this time, and immediately understood what Shen Sen meant.

"Let's go to the fiefdom with the boss, and when the time comes, our father will no longer be able to control us."

Song Jicai said with a bright face: "When the time comes, we can do whatever we want." ”

Chu Huan also said excitedly: "The boss said that when he grows up, he will travel around and eat all the world's food, and then we will be happy with the boss." ”

The four of them imagined the situation when they followed Zhao Yao around, and they all showed a yearning smile on their faces.

Shen Sen smiled hesitantly: "In this way, there are still benefits to being a prince." ”

"Wait, the eldest is only six years old this year, and he's still too early to grow." Zhang He suddenly lost his spirit, "We still have to wait for ten years." ”

When Shen Sen heard this, he instantly lost his spirit: "Why is the boss only six years old, why is he not sixteen years old, so that we can follow the boss to the fiefdom this year." ”

Chu Huan glanced at Shen Sen and said, "Even if the boss is an adult this year, if we want to follow the boss to the fiefdom, our father will not agree." ”

Shen Sen asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

"Because we're not adults."

Shen Sen's expression instantly stiffened, and he immediately returned to the table, pouting and saying, "In Daddy's eyes, we are also children. ”

"It's still early to go to the fiefdom with the boss, let's talk about spring hunting." Zhang He said confidently, "I want to hunt a deer this year, and I want to eat roast venison."

"I still want to eat bear's paws, so I'll have to hunt a bear this year."

"Then I'm going to hunt a wolf."

"I'm going to hunt a tiger too."

The four of them imagined that they had shown their might in the spring hunt, hunting tigers, bears, wolves and other scenery, and then laughed proudly together.

The one who was waiting for a reply came to see Chu Huan and a few of them laughed when they didn't reply, so they flew to Chu Huan's head angrily and nagged Chu Huan's head hard.

It was Chu Huan who untied the letter from Laiyi's leg just now.

Chu Huan hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't chatter, I'll write a reply immediately." ”

As soon as he heard this, he let Chu Huan go and flew to the side to wait for Chu Huan's reply.

When Song Jicai and the others saw this scene, they said in surprise again: "The sparrow raised by the boss is so smart, not only can he deliver letters, but he can also understand what we say." ”

Laiyi proudly raised his little head and glanced at Song Jicai and the others very arrogantly.

Chu Huan wrote a reply, and then tied it to Laiyi's leg. He wanted to reach out and touch Laiyi's little head, but Laiyi avoided him.

Laiyi shouted at Chu Huan, and then waved his wings and flew away.

Chu Huan felt that he had just seen disgust in the eyes of the sparrow.

"We're going to participate in the spring hunt tomorrow, let's hurry back and get ready."

At this time, Zhao Yao was performing martial arts to try the bow and arrow given to him by the fourth prince.

Wei Mian and Tongxi stood aside and watched Zhao Yao practice archery.

Because the four princes wanted to cultivate history in the Lanyuan Pavilion, they couldn't come to the martial arts arena to watch Zhao Yao practice his new bow and arrow, so they sent Wei Mian over to take a look.

Zhao Yao shot three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye.

Wei Mian saw Zhao Yao stop, stepped forward and asked with concern, "Your Highness, what do you think of the bow and arrow, does it fit your hand?" ”

Zhao Yao said with a smile: "The bow and arrow sent by the fourth brother is really easy to use, and it is much lighter than the bow and arrow I usually practice." ”

"My Highness specially asked people to do it according to your habits, do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it so much." Zhao Yao said with a smile on his face, "Fourth brother is really good. ”

"It's really nice that you like it." Wei Mian said, "Your Highness is afraid that you don't like it. ”

"How is it possible, as long as it is sent by the fourth brother, I like it." Zhao Yao said, thinking of something, he asked curiously and suspiciously, "Isn't the bow and arrow heavy, why does the fourth brother send a light bow and arrow?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Tenth, because you are still young, you have just learned archery for a short time, and if you use a heavy bow for spring hunting, you will strain your arm, so my Royal Highness specially made such a light bow for you."

"The fourth brother is really good to me." Zhao Yao picked up another arrow and aimed at the arrow target not far ahead, "I must hunt a fox and give it to the fourth brother." With that, he let go of the arrow on the string. Then, a "thump" was heard, and the arrow was ready to hit the bull's-eye.

"Wei Mian, what kind of hair is on the arrow?" Zhao Yao picked up another arrow and carefully looked at the feathers on the tail of the arrow.

"It's the feathers of the golden eagle." Wei Mian said, "On the hunt last autumn, His Royal Highness of my family shot a golden eagle and made arrows from its feathers. ”

"Oh, I remember, the fourth brother was rewarded with a bow by his father last year because he shot the golden eagle." Last year's spring hunt, he couldn't participate because he was young, but he went to visit with his mother and concubines. At that time, the fourth brother shot a golden eagle and made a big splash in the spring hunt, and was praised and rewarded by his father, which made the third brother angry.

"Yes, my Royal Highness said that the feathers of the golden eagle would be very useful to make arrows, so I used the feathers of the golden eagle to make a lot of arrows, but I won't use them on weekdays, and my Royal Highness plans to use them in spring hunting and autumn hunting." Wei Mian said.

"The fourth brother is really good to me, it seems that I have to send the fourth brother two foxes." Zhao Yao handed the bow in his hand to Tongxi, "Take it back and put it away." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I'll go to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the fourth brother."

When the fourth prince saw Zhao Yao coming to him, he hurriedly asked him if the bow and arrow were suitable.

"Fourth brother, it's too compatible." Zhao Yao hurriedly thanked the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, I like it very much, thank you so much." ”

"If you like it."

"Fourth brother, you are so good to me, I have to give you two foxes."

The fourth prince joked: "If you want to give me three foxes, I don't mind." ”

"Then I'll try to shoot three foxes." Zhao Yao sat next to the four princes and watched the four princes copy the historical materials.

When the four princes copied historical materials, they had to be very serious and focused, and they could not make a single mistake. Once you make a mistake, you have to start all over again. Not only must you not write it wrong, but you must also write neatly and beautifully.

Zhao Yao watched the four princes copying historical materials, and suddenly thought of something. When he grows up and becomes an adult, he wants to go to the fiefdom, and when the time comes, he invites Mr. Xiao to teach the children of the fiefdom to read, and he will definitely need books, and he will need a lot of books. There were not many books in the Kunde Palace, which meant that he had to buy books to take to the fiefdom.

Books weren't cheap, he didn't have that much money.

After the fourth prince finished transcribing a page, he saw Zhao Yaojin frowning and looking distressed, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yao came back to his senses, looked at the fourth prince and asked, "Fourth brother, is it annoying for you to copy books on weekdays, and will you copy books too slowly?" "He just remembered something very important. In the dream, Zhao Yao read a lot of books, and their books were not copied by hand, but printed.

"Fourth brother, are all our Da Zhou's books copied by hand?"

"yes, it's all hand-copied." The fourth prince replied, "We must be slow to copy books like this, but this is also something that cannot be helped. ”

Something that can't be helped?

If there is Zhao Yao in his dream, then he can print a lot of books. Once there are more books, they will become cheaper, so that many people can afford to buy them.

"What are you asking for?" The fourth prince asked suspiciously.

Zhao Yao smiled slightly: "I just think that you are copying books too hard every day, and you can't make a little mistake." ”

He added, "Isn't there a way to go faster?" ”

"No, since ancient times, books have been copied from generation to generation." The fourth prince picked up a book that he had copied at hand, and said to Zhao Yao, "Now that there is paper, it is much easier to copy books." In the past, it was more difficult for people to copy books on bamboo slips. ”

"Yes." It is more difficult to engrave a book on a bamboo slip than to copy it on paper.

Speaking of paper, Zhao Yao remembered another thing. The paper they use now can't be compared with the paper they used by Zhao Yao in their dreams. In the dream, Zhao Yao's paper was very white, unlike the paper they used now, which was very yellow. And in the dream, Zhao Yao, the paper they used was very cheap and very easy to use. The paper they use doesn't seem to be cheap.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was thinking about things again, the fourth prince asked, "What happened?" ”

"Fourth brother, I don't think the paper we use now is cheap."

"Not cheap?" The fourth prince asked puzzledly, "Where do you start with this?" ”

"Fourth brother, look, if the paper we use is cheaper, will the books be cheaper, so that more people can afford to read books?" Zhao Yao held his face in both hands and said, "Many people can't afford to buy books to read now, just because books are too expensive." The reason why books are expensive is, firstly, because paper is not cheap, and secondly, because everyone's books are copied by people. ”

"You're right." The fourth prince asked, "So what?" ”

"If paper could be cheaper, if it could be turned into a book without having to be copied by someone, would it be cheaper?"

The fourth prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "Tenth brother, your idea is very good, but paper will not become cheaper." Also, there will be no books if no one copies them. So, what you say can't be realized. ”

"Not necessarily." In the dream, Zhao Yao and they came true. He had to think about how Zhao Yao made paper cheap and how they printed books in his dream.

The fourth prince reached out and touched Zhao Yao's head, chuckled and said, "If you're okay, just read here." ”

"Fourth brother, what is the paper we use now made of?"

Without thinking, the fourth prince said, "'Made of bark, hemp, rags, and old fishing nets. ”

"I made it out of these things."

"If you're interested in papermaking, I'll take you to see it when I'm free." The fourth prince said.

"Okay." He had to see how their paper was made now, and then find a way to make the paper that Zhao Yao and them used in their dreams.

By the way, he still has to prepare the book in advance, so that when he grows up to be crowned king, he can only take the book directly to the fiefdom.

"Fourth brother, do you have a lot of books?" Zhao Yao asked again, "Fourth brother, do you have a lot of books that you don't need?" ”

The fourth prince felt that Zhao Yao's question was a little strange, "I have a lot of books, but there are no books that I don't need, and all the books I need." ”

"I mean, fourth brother, you have so many books, is there a lot of duplicate books, such as several books in one book."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Fourth brother, can you give it to me?" From this day on, he has to collect books everywhere, so that when he grows up, he will be able to collect a lot of books. Of course, it's best to collect books without spending money.

"What do you want books for?"

"Of course."

The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao suspiciously: "You want to read?" ”

Suspicious by the fourth prince, Zhao Yao said with a little weakness: "Fourth brother, although I don't like to go to Wende Hall to study, it doesn't mean that I don't like to read at all. I still read a lot on weekdays, and my mother can testify to this. ”

"Since you want to read the book, then I'll give it to you." The fourth prince didn't believe that Zhao Yao would take the initiative to read the book, but since Zhao Yao wanted it, he gave it to him.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother!" He first asked the fourth brother for a book.

There are a lot of books in Lan Yuan Pavilion, there must be duplicate books, he has to find a way to get his hands on them.

Mr. Xiao must also have a lot of books there, ask Mr. Xiao after the spring hunt.

When the fourth prince saw that Zhao Yao suddenly smiled as cunning as a fox, he knew what good ideas he was playing.

"Tenth brother, I'll give you a book, you have to read it, you can't use it for bad things."

Zhao Yao pretended to have a hurt expression. He looked at the fourth prince in disbelief: "Fourth brother, how can you think of me like this, how can I do bad things with books?" ”

"It's not about doing bad things with books." The fourth prince deliberately warned Zhao Yao, "If I let me know that you are doing bad things with books, I can't get around you." ”

Zhao Yao hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Fourth brother, I really didn't do anything bad when I asked you to ask for a book, but I wanted to read it myself." ”

The fourth prince said in disbelief: "That's good." ”

"Fourth brother, I won't bother you, I'll go back first." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he ran away.

On the way back to the Kunde Palace, Tong Xi saw that Zhao Yao had been frowning, and asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, you look preoccupied?" "I'm going to spring hunting tomorrow, with His Highness's temperament, His Highness should be very happy at this time.

"I'm wondering how to make paper cheaper and easier to use?"

"Huh?" Tongxi was shocked by Zhao Yao's words, "Cheaper and better paper? Your Highness, what do you want to do with this? ”

"Of course it works." He remembered Zhao Yao's world in his dream, and the paper they used had bamboo in it.

Zhao Yao: I have to find a way to get more things before I go to the fiefdom, so that when I grow up, I don't have to spend money to buy them.

Start by collecting books.

Author: Your name is white prostitute.

It's still two more, no third one. But the number of words in the two watches adds up to a lot.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass!
