Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty: flirting with the princess at the beginning

"Yang Hao, that's okay, don't you have to do anything else?" Princess

Changle asked in surprise

, "Well, otherwise,

didn't you see that I was so busy just now? Now wait for the paper to dry out and see the effect."

Yang Hao said with a smile

, "Cut, you've been busy for a while,

and you're embarrassed to say you're busy." Yang Hao, are you sure? and how long do you have to wait for drying?".

Princess Changle asked a little nervously

, "Hey, who do you look down on, don't worry,

it will definitely be done." You need to wait half an hour for drying, and the stove is not on before, so you need to preheat."

Yang Hao glanced at Princess Changle, and wanted to knock her on the head, thinking about it, forget it, there are so many guards around her.

Yang Hao is still very sure whether he can make paper, at most there will be some small problems, and he can solve them by himself

! The two sat outside and chatted like this, and waited!

In the process of waiting, Princess Changle couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart, although she believed in Yang Hao, she was still afraid that the papermaking would fail.

Now the Tang Dynasty is in ruins, and there are too many places where the court needs money, not to mention the tinkling of the poor court now.

If this paper can be made in large quantities, according to Yang Hao, it is not a problem to earn one or two hundred thousand yuan a year, so that the father and emperor will not have to worry so much about the lack of money available in the court, and it can also benefit the scholars

! In the end, Princess Changle simply stood up and walked around in front of Yang Hao!

"Oh, I said beautiful and moving princess, why are you so anxious?" Calm down, believe me Yang Hao, I won't let you down."

Yang Hao looked at Princess Changle helplessly and said

, "Hmph,

you don't know how important this paper is to the Tang Dynasty and the court."

Princess Changle glared at Yang Hao and said

, "Hey, I don't know, I don't know,

I don't know, can I come up with the idea of making paper?

Yang Hao pretended to be angry and said,

"Oh, aren't people in a hurry?"

When Princess Changle saw Yang Hao angry, she knew that she was too anxious to say the wrong thing, so she couldn't help but say coquettishly! Yang Hao saw

her little woman's delicate appearance, and her heart was very excited, and her heart was beating involuntarily!

Meidi is very, Meidi is very !!

"Okay, don't be too anxious first, sit down first, I'll go in and take a look, it should be almost dry." 。

Yang Hao couldn't bear to see Princess Changle so anxious, so he stood up and said with a smile!

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he took a few workers into the drying room, and after entering, Yang Hao looked at the wooden frames one by one, and found that the drying effect was faster than his budget, and it was basically dried.

Yang Hao instructed a few workers to push out all the wooden frames, and he also pushed one out of the way!

"How is it

? Is it done?" Princess Changle, who was standing outside, saw Yang Hao and them pushing the wooden frame out, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked

, "

Well, it should be fine, when it gets colder, I'll tear it off and take a look,

otherwise it will be easy to stick."

After a while, dozens of wooden frames were pushed out by the workers one after another, and Yang Hao also began to tear off the paper from the wooden frame.

Every time he tore off a sheet, Yang Hao would study the quality of the paper, and finally after tearing it all off, Yang

Hao picked out three of the best quality, which were not so hard to the touch, although the quality was still not as good as the paper of later generations, but it was not bad

! Yang Hao spread the three pieces of paper on the table one by one, picked up the pen and ink that had been prepared next to him,

and wrote his name on the three pieces of paper!

After writing, Yang Hao picked it up and looked at it, there were two of them that were a little permeable, which should be caused by a little insufficient thickness, only one was turned over and looked at the other side, and it would not be permeable at all, and the words could be written up, and the ink could be absorbed quickly!

Yang Hao looked at the paper and nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yang Hao

, it has really become such a white paper,

and the quality is no worse than the yellow rice paper used before."

Princess Changle also touched the paper in Yang Hao's hand, and said excitedly

, "Hmph, didn't you still doubt me before? Now you see, how beautiful this paper is,

and how artistic the words on it are."

Yang Hao looked at Princess Changle proudly and said

, "Oh, I'm not in a hurry, Yang Hao, can I make a large number of papers now?How many sheets can be made in a day?"

Princess Changle asked!

"Of course you can, as for the quantity,

you wait, I'll calculate...... Well...... 20 big pits have been dug here, and the wood pulp in a big pit can produce about 10,000 sheets, that is, 200,000 sheets",

"A large pit can be used about 7 times a month on average, and it is 1.4 million sheets in a month, which is about this amount, are you satisfied?"

Yang Hao thought about it and counted it, and after speaking, he asked Princess Changle who was already shocked on the spot!

"This ...... That's 1.4 million sheets a month, my God, that's equivalent to about two years of rice paper made by the entire Tang Dynasty."

Princess Changle said in shock!

If you want to make more money, you can dig dozens of more big pits, and the number will multiply several times by then."

Yang Hao smiled!"Well, we must dig dozens of more big pits, such a good paper, anyway, we don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, but Yang Hao, how much money do we have to sell this paper?"

Princess Changle looked at Yang Hao and asked!

"Hmm......

This depends on you, anyway, the cost of making this paper is low

, the main thing is to pay a little more, my suggestion is: if you want to make a little more, you can sell it for seven or eight cents, if you don't want to make more money from readers, just sell it for three or four cents!"

"But you still have to consider the current shortage of money in the court, we can temporarily sell the price one or two cents higher, and then we are not short of money later, and then reduce the price."

Yang Hao opened his mouth to suggest, but he still reminded Princess Changle not to sell the price too low.

Yang Hao didn't come out with the papermaking skills of later generations to make money for himself, he had his own purpose.

First: It is for Datang to have more readers to use paper, so that there are more and more scholars from poor families, so as to eliminate the foundation energy of the family, [Of course, there are not many readers just for paper, but this is only Yang Hao's first step]

Second: It is to make more money for the court, so that Li Shimin has money, and he doesn't have to take too much care of the family when he does things in the future.

Third: Of course, for the sake of the beloved woman, I don't want to see her always worry about money.

When Princess Changle heard Yang Hao's words, she also thought about it, of course she was kind-hearted and didn't want to make more money from scholars, but Yang Hao was right, now there are too many places where the court needs money, and it can be temporarily sold for a penny

or two However, considering that this paper business belongs to the royal family after all, and the price is too high, I am afraid that it will cause the scholars to be dissatisfied with the royal family and the emperor, so this matter still needs to go back and ask her father

for advice!

So Princess Changle told Yang Hao about her thoughts and concerns.

"Hi... My silly princess, have you forgotten that the quality of this white paper is better than the previous yellow rice paper, and it is also much larger than it, the previous rice paper was 1 foot wide and 2 feet long, and now our paper is 2 feet wide and 3 feet ......long."

Yang Hao smiled when he heard Princess Changle's concerns, and explained!

"Oh, you see, I was confused, and I only thought that the cost of our paper production is not high, so I think the price of a piece is a bit high..."

Yang Hao smiled and said!

In the Ganlu Palace, after Li Shimin finished dealing with some important twists and turns, he stood up and made a few unsightly movements, and then slowly walked out of the Ganlu Hall and went straight to the Lizheng Palace.

In the Lizheng Palace, at this moment, Princess Changle is teasing the little son, and the eldest grandson queen is teaching Xiao

Li Zhi to read and write!

"Eldest sister, can you start eating?"

Xiao Li Zhi looked at the full food on the table on the side, and he didn't have the heart to read anymore, swallowed his saliva, looked at Princess Changle and asked!"

You little fat man, what are you anxious about, my father hasn't come over yet, recognize your words well, otherwise the eldest sister will whip you."

Princess Changle turned her head and glared at Xiao Li Zhi, who was almost a child, and said threateningly!

"Eldest sister, you don't love me at all, you only know that you love your sister and son, I

don't accept it......" Xiao Li Zhi pouted with a little chubby face and said

, "Yo, don't accept it,

don't you try it again?"

Princess Changle stepped aside, took out a rattan, looked at Xiao Li Zhi with a smile and said

, "Eh, big sister, I'm served, I'm obedient,

I just need to read well."

Xiao Li Zhi immediately said

in acknowledgment! Empress Eldest Sun pursed her lips and snickered from the sidelines!

"What's the matter, this is a pheasant slave, are you making your eldest sister unhappy again?"

Li Shimin walked in slowly with his hands behind his back and said,

"Father, Emperor......"

"Your Majesty

".

"Father, the son didn't mess with the eldest sister, but he was hungry and wanted to eat."

Xiao Li Zhi hurriedly said

! He didn't dare to say that he had upset his eldest sister, otherwise he would have to be scolded by Li Shimin if he was beaten by Princess Changle!

"Well, that's good, since you're hungry, let's eat first." Li Shimin

walked to the dining table and sat down, and said,

"Okay"

When Xiao Li Zhi heard that he could eat, he hurriedly put down his books and jumped

to the dining table! Empress Changsun and Princess Changle also walked to the dining table and sat down, and the son-in-law was left to the palace maid to take care of!

There are a lot of meals on the table today, especially roast duck and white-cut chicken, which are three or four more than before.

"Oh, good guy! Why did you bring back so much food today?" Li

Shimin saw so many meals, looked at Princess Changle, and guessed some, so he asked knowingly

, "Father, didn't the sons see that you have worked too hard to deal with the government,

so you brought some more."

Princess Changle was serious, her face was not red, and her heart was not beating and she lied!

In fact, the truth was that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she ......

"Oh, it's better to be a girl, and I understand filial piety."

Li Shimin didn't poke it either, and said with a smile!

Two quarters of an hour later, the food on the table was swept away by the four of them.

Li Shimin touched his belly and muttered comfortably: "Oh! It's comfortable, it's beyond imagination!"

"Father, mother, come and take a look at this."

After Princess Changle finished speaking, she took out a stack of white paper from behind the chair next to her, unfolded it and placed it on the table.

When Li Shimin and his wife heard this, they looked at Princess Changle curiously, and then walked over together!"Girl, what is this?

Is it paper?"

Empress Changsun looked at the white paper after coming over, and asked with some uncertainty!

Li Shimin also looked at Princess Changle, waiting for her daughter's answer!"

Oh, Queen Mother, you are so clever that you can tell at a glance that this is paper".

Princess Changle praised!

"Hehe...... What

is this, this is very much like paper, but how can you have such a white and large paper?"

Empress Changsun smiled, and then asked curiously

! At the same time, she was also a little surprised in her heart, she had never seen such a white paper, and Li Shimin was the same!

"Hehe, how is it? Father, mother, this white paper is beautiful, right?

Princess Changle asked with a playful wink!

, "Ahem...... Beauty, where did you get this paper?

Li Shimin coughed lightly twice, looked at his daughter and asked curiously

, "Of course it's made, can you buy it outside?"

Princess Changle continued

to sell Guanzi and said, "You girl, when did you learn to sell Guanzi so well, don't you hurry up and say it,

you want to kill your father in a hurry."

Empress Changsun opened her mouth and scolded with a smile

! Comrade Li Shimin gave Empress Changsun a blank look, what did she say, just like you are not in a hurry!

"Ahem...... Okay, no kidding, it's like this............".

Then Princess Changle started talking about Yang Hao's statement a few days ago that she was going to make paper and open a paper factory!

After talking for two quarters of an hour, she could be regarded as explaining the whole thing clearly.

Li Shimin and his wife listened to their daughter quietly like this, and did not intervene to ask.

It wasn't until the daughter finished speaking that she turned her head and looked at each other at the same time, both of them were a little surprised.

At the same time, I also thought that it was a new thing that Yang Hao had come up with, is this Yang Hao so powerful?

Beauty

, this thing is really made by Yang Hao? Can 200,000 pieces be made in a day?"

Li Shimin still couldn't believe it and asked!

"Father, where would the sons and daughters make jokes about this kind of thing, it was really made by Yang Hao, and in the future, when there are many big pits, they will take turns to cook wood pulp, and there will be at least 200,000 pieces every day."

Princess Changle nodded and said seriously!

" Hiss...... There is also such a papermaking technique, this amount is really terrifying! I really can't see that this Yang Hao is such a genius"

Li Shimin gasped and said, but as a dignified emperor, he was also shocked.

Empress Eldest Sun was also so shocked!
