Chen Zhengtai said it very sincerely, and he paused, and told Li Shimin and others.

"If you can stock up more raw materials in the future, students can even increase their output."

"Mr., this papermaking manpower is ready-made and the cost is not much. When the workshop becomes more mature in the future, students hope to reduce the price of each piece of paper to one cent. Of course... there are still some difficulties at the moment, and students still need to work hard."

One penny per piece.

As soon as this statement was said, it seemed that the stimulus volume began to soar again.

what does that mean?

It means that this paper is no longer a scarce product in the future.

Every aristocratic family shows off their family background and wealth by collecting books.

In fact, collecting books is indeed a means of showing off wealth in this era. On the one hand, it shows that one's family has a prominent history, and at the same time it proves that one's family has money because a book is expensive, and this cost includes paper.

Such good paper is now, with extremely high output and extremely low prices in the future. Even if it is hard yellow paper on the market, it costs more than twenty yuan per piece, and it is the worst paper. Twenty yuan is a few days' expense for many ordinary people. Who can afford it?

If it were those famous papers, it would be even more expensive. In this era, paper and silk were equally expensive in people's eyes.

Li Shimin was surprised and said, "How can paper be done quickly? Chen Zhengtai, to be honest, what is the mystery in it?"

Fang Xuanling's heart was already filled with storms. Now His Majesty began to ask about the method of making paper, which made Fang Xuanling's mind move, and he hurriedly raised his ears and held his breath.

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself that the most difficult thing in paper is to make raw materials such as straw and bamboo into pulp, which requires a lot of charcoal and labor costs, and the processes are complicated.

But... can I tell you, in fact, collect raw materials in advance, then soak the raw materials in lime water and ferment them so that they can make pulp at the lowest cost?

If I say it out, then... the Chen family will lose another pillar.

Now there are countless refugees in Erpigou, and they are still waiting for the Chen family to have dinner. If the recipe is delivered and those families are in their hands, my Chen family will not even have the chance to drink soup.

But when the emperor asked, it seemed that he was not good at answering. Could it be that he would still deceive the emperor and mislead the emperor?

Alas... I had to use my trump card.

"My teacher can ask the prince and Princess Sui'an."

"What?" Li Shimin's face changed. Why did this have something to do with my children again?

Chen Zhengtai smiled: "The student's workshop is called Erpigou Paper Industry. The teacher knows that the students are lazy, but the students' junior brother and junior sister are smart and capable people. Therefore, the students are ready to wait for this sign to hang up and divide the entire Erpigou Paper Industry into ten shares, and the students are large and occupy four shares.

"The junior brother and junior sister will probably have to spend a lot of effort in the papermaking workshop in the future. The students are thinking, why not divide the junior brother and junior sister into three strata. In this way, the students occupy four strata, and the junior brother and junior sister are equal in one bowl of water, and each take three strata. Therefore, the students think that if the teacher has something to do with papermaking, it is better to ask the junior brother and junior sister."

Li Shimin's face changed.

The benefits of this papermaking are obvious. Even if it is sold at a low price in the future, the paper from Erpigou will definitely defeat papers everywhere in the world. The profits can be imagined.

Chen Zhengtai is a good guy who makes money. In the future, the benefits Erpigou Paper Industry will not be inferior to the salt industry.

His daughter occupied three shares and the prince occupied three shares. In this way, wouldn’t he get six shares in the palace for nothing?

I have gained more benefits than the Chen family.

This guy Chen Zhengtai is really loyal and has such good things to me.

Li Shimin felt happy at this moment, but he heard Chen Zhengtai say: "But since his teacher asked about the secret recipe for papermaking, the students are his master's disciples, both teachers and students, and monarchs and ministers. In terms of emotion and reason, students dare not hide their own personalities, and they dare not deceive the emperor. Erpigou papermaking is different from other papermaking. The biggest difference is that the process is improved, such as the wool material..."

Fang Xuanling felt that his heart was beating faster, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. On the surface, he looked calm and gentle, but at this moment, he didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

On the other side, Yu Shinan wiped the blood on the corner of his lips. His face was pale, but at this moment, his face also returned to blood. He did not move at all, and did not dare to make any slight noise.

But at this moment...

"Enough!" Li Shimin waved his hand and shouted immediately.

This idiot, such an important thing, must be spoken out in public, and he is not afraid of others listening.

Li Shimin said with a serene comment: "This is the secret recipe you have come up with yourself. I just asked casually. You kid are really unaware of the matter. How can you show me the foundation of the career of Chen in Mengjin? I will tell you to answer, what if I ask you to die?"

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Is this considered a death sentence?

Fang Xuanling and Yu Shinan immediately showed disappointment, and then looked at Li Shimin with a complex and resentful look.

Chen Zhengtai said awkwardly: "If the king wants his minister to die, the minister..."

"Stop it." Li Shimin glared at Chen Zhengtai: "You are a smart person, so you naturally know my original intention. I didn't say that this is the secret recipe of Chen. You should not show it to others. In the future, not to mention it as others, even if I come to ask you, you must keep your mouth shut. Young people should be good at caring for their own wealth, and be careful in being a person."

Is this considered a secret recipe for protecting himself?

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up. The famous Emperor Taizong of Tang in history was Emperor Taizong of Tang. He had already had the awareness of copyright and patents 1,500 years ago. He admired and admired.

"Students understand that students must keep in mind the order of their mentors, and will not say who they are in the future, no matter who they are, they will be beaten to death."

Li Shimin's face calmed down, his eyes flashed with some expectations for the future.

The new palace of the Supreme Emperor is about to be hoped for.

Only then did Li Shimin notice that Yu Shinan seemed to be a little strange just now: "Mr. Yu...you are in good health."

Yu Shinan only felt that he had just walked in the gate of hell, and he was really almost dead. However, the stimulation volume suddenly increased significantly later, which may have stimulated some potential in the body. Although he seemed much older, he could still hold on: "Your Majesty, the old minister... It's okay."

Li Shimin sighed: "If it's okay, that would be great. I'm very worried. Let the imperial physician give Yu Gong a medical examination to relieve him later."

As he said that, he looked red and said, "Donald Yu sees how I am a disciple, haha... I love him loyalty and honest. I was so real when I was young."

Yu Shinan: “…”

This time, Yu Shinan looked at Li Shimin with a little disgust, but this look only passed by in his eyes and was not revealed.

But Yu Shinan immediately began to get excited again.

"I want to congratulate Your Majesty. If everything is as Chen Zhengtai said, then... my Tang Dynasty will open a precedent that has not been seen in a thousand years. Once paper can be used in large quantities, then... how many talents can emerge in the world? Just talk about the way of running script, and I don't know how many people need to be produced. Any article needs to be written on paper, and paper is the carrier. With this, your Majesty's rule of mind... is expected."

He is speaking justice.

Fang Xuanling's eyes couldn't help but flash a different style. He nodded: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Yu is thinking of beautiful articles, but I think... Erpigou papermaking has another huge benefit, which can be said to be beneficial for the future. Your Majesty... Paper is expensive. Although the three provinces and six ministries, and the officials of each state can use paper at will, most of the civil servants of each state, their official documents and records on the documents cannot use paper. Paper is expensive, even if it is the official documents of the prefectures and counties, they cannot use paper.

To make paper popular. Most civil servants still use bamboo slips to communicate and record official documents. The bamboo slips... are heavy and cannot be recorded in large quantities, so many official documents and documents have signs of vague records and vagueness. Moreover, bamboo slips are bulky and occupy a lot of land. As far as I know, in a county, in order to store documents, there are several warehouses to store bamboo slips. It is time-consuming and laborious to search for documents from previous years. Many civil servants are unbearable and complaints are everywhere."
