I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Yin Xuan raised his hand and rubbed Li Lizhi's head: "Thank you."

Li Lizhi snorted.

The maid's expression was calm, she was used to this scene.

"This time, I'm going to give you a new topic." Yin Xuan rubbed Changsun's head again, and then said softly, "It's related to papermaking."

Li Lizhi tilted her head: "Is it to improve papermaking?"

Yin Xuan shook his head.

In fact... Datang's existing papermaking technology is already very mature. Whether it is now or in the future, papermaking is nothing more than the steps of crushing, pulping, and dehydration.

Unless the door of the industry is pushed open, it will be difficult to show any reborn performance in terms of output.

The reason why the paper industry was vigorously developed in the Song Dynasty is mainly due to two people, one of whom is Bi Sheng, who came up with such a thing as movable type printing.

The other one is Huang Chao - this old man is ruthless, slaughtered the family members, and broke the family's monopoly on knowledge.

Thinking of this, Yin Xuan's expression became strange.

Is it destined that the person who writes "When my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will kill them" will stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic family?

Yin Xuan coughed twice, looked at the puzzled faces of the girls, and explained: "Papermaking technology is already very mature, and there is no room for improvement."

"Now I hope you can find a relatively cheapest way to make paper."

After speaking, Yin Xuan paused.

"Secondly, I plan to start a magazine and choose two of you to help out."

Magazine?

"Brother Zhengyang is finally going to write a book?" Li Lizhi was a little excited, she simply understood the meaning of these two words from the literal meaning.

With the knowledge that my Zhengyang brother has mastered, it is quite appropriate to call it a magazine.

The other little girls were also a little excited.

This is to help Brother Zhengyang write a book, but... only two people are needed, and this quota is not easy to divide.

Yin Xuan patted her on the head: "It's not that I want to write a book, it's a small booklet that will be published in half a month or in one month, and some academic articles, short story books, poems and poems will be published on it."

Li Shu's eyes widened: "Brother Zhengyang can be so diligent?"

Several little girls also showed similar meanings.

In their eyes, Yin Xuan is very talented, but he is rarely willing to show it. It can be said that he is very lazy in terms of talent.

Yin Xuan squeezed Li Shu's little face: "I didn't write it, it was written by the scholars in the restaurant. When they submitted their manuscripts, I gave them copper coins to publish the articles in magazines and then sell them."

In fact, Yin Xuan had already thought about running a magazine.

It's just never been the right time.

Up to now, Yin Xuan thinks it is a relatively appropriate time.

Originally, he planned to call it "Tong Fu" or something, but Li Lizhi's words reminded him that it could be called a magazine instead.

Anyway, he really intends to make the content "miscellaneous".

Things like academic papers, novels, poems and songs are all stuffed in.

Cultural progress begins with communication.

Without communication, culture will gradually become a pool of stagnant water.

Fang Yiyu frowned: "Then I'm afraid it won't be able to be printed?"

Yin Xuan shook his head: "When the printing comes, I will come up with a technology that can greatly reduce the printing cost."

"So during this period of time, you need to find out the papermaking solution with the most suitable value."

new technology!
The little girls are gearing up, they haven't done anything for several months, and now they are impatient.

Isn't it just to find a papermaking solution with the most suitable value.

Idiot!
In the front hall, a few girls sent their maids to look for information, and they discussed in a low voice, which two people should be assistants to Brother Zhengyang.Yin Xuan brought them hot milk tea and added an extra serving of pearls.

By the way, I told those readers that I am going to start a magazine.

You can bring articles, novels, etc. first, and let him review the manuscripts in advance.

When this was said, the readers were all excited.

They have always wanted Yin Xuan to read their articles, but they have never been able to find this opportunity, and now they finally have it!And there is money!
This is not pie in the sky, this is simply gold in the sky.

However, the scholars did not act rashly. Yin Xuan's literary name was extremely high in their eyes. If he casually took out his "bad work", it would be more than a simple embarrassment.

The little girls are busy making paper.

Readers are busy with submitting manuscripts.

The court began to get busy with the memorials Li Shimin needed.

Li Yuan was too busy to lose.

Three days later, Li Shimin received a thick pile of memorials, which made his scalp tingle. There were more than 100 officials in the court, both civil and military officials, the number far exceeded his imagination.

But... if you say it, it is the water that is poured out.

He can only look slowly.

However, before he finished reading the first memorial, Lu Yigong asked to see him, and Li Shimin announced him in.

"What's the matter, Qing?" Li Shimin asked rather weakly.

Lu Yigong arched his hands and said softly: "Your Majesty, the advertising revenue for the road from Chang'an to Luoyang has already come out."

"This...for the second month's advertising fee, someone has already asked Chen, and he intends to offer [-] yuan a month."

Li Shimin cheered up immediately, and raised his voice: "How much?"

"Five hundred per month." Lu Yigong repeated, and there was some surprise in his voice.

This is also something he didn't expect.

The effect of the advertisement was much better than what he thought and those who bought the advertisement thought—after all, Li Tai was the one who built this road.

Although trucks cannot pass on the cement road, most merchants and tourists take this convenient road, and they see advertisements on the road when they come and go.

Thinking of the participation of a prince like Li Tai in this road, these advertisements seemed to have Li Tai's guarantee in their eyes.

For example, the brothel.

The guests from Luoyang went to inquire about the brothel as soon as they entered Pingkangfang. Many people in Chang'an City were also curious. What's so good about this brothel?How come everyone from Luoyang knows his name?

One to two to go.

In the past month, the number of customers in this brothel has more than doubled.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the brothel inquired about the reason, he knew it was because of the advertisement, which made him laugh from ear to ear, and immediately went to find Lu Yigong, intending to order it for a year at the price of [-] guan per month.

Li Shimin stood up and looked at Lu Yigong with burning eyes: "Are you sure?"

With his level of calculation, Li Shimin quickly came to a conclusion in his mind, this... a year's advertising fee is 12 yuan.
