Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 121 The Way Out of Du Village
Before the three scholars in front of him could react, Li Ze took out a stack of paper cut to the size of a human head from his sleeve.

At the same time, they handed it to Gongsun Yu and the others.

"Look, do you have any habit of using this kind of paper?"

Gongsunyu and the others immediately took out a piece of paper, and Dang even looked at it carefully before their eyes.

I saw the three scholars placed in front of my eyes for a while, and facing the sky for a while, buckling and frustrating again.

"Hiss - this paper is very even, and there is no mess or hemp. It is simply perfect!" Zhou Song looked at this new paper made by Li Ze using the method recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" and immediately praised it. Absolutely.

After a lot of tossing, the three carefully put the paper back to its original position as if they had found a treasure, while Gongsun Yu gently placed the paper in his hand on the table, looked at Li Ze and asked, "Doctor Li, can you borrow the paper?" As soon as the pen and ink are used, the villain wants to try to write."

Li Ze didn't stop him, but nodded lightly, and immediately walked to the three of them.

Gongsun Yu leaned on the press, holding the pen in one hand, staring at the paper with both eyes, not knowing what to write for a while.

Dang even thought about showing his hand in front of Li Ze, and immediately conceived and created poems praising Confucianism in his mind, to show Li Ze, a doctor who only knows how to treat medicine, his ability.

However, before he could conceive the rhythm, he only heard Li Ze's voice from behind.

Seeing that Gongsun Yu was having trouble writing, Li Ze immediately blurted out: "Why don't you write: 'There will be strong winds and waves, so hang up your sails and sail across the sea'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Yu, who was already on the spot, froze immediately.

Li Ze's half sentence about the difficulty of traveling lingered in his ears like a hurricane, lingering.

As a scholar's instinct, Gongsun Yu immediately threw away the remaining distracting thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath and picked up the pen to click on the paper.

In just a few breaths of time, a row of regular regular scripts that are neat and orderly without any procrastination appeared on the paper.

Moreover, there is no slight skew on the empty paper without vertical lines, which shows that Gongsun Yu's calligraphy skills are also extraordinary.

Li Ze couldn't help sighing: "Tsk tsk tsk...Mr. Gongsun is really good at writing!"

However, the three scholars were not horrified by their handwriting, their eyes just stayed on the short fourteen characters.

Zhou Song and Luo Heng looked at each other in shock after hearing this part of the sentence, and praised repeatedly: "What a poem! What a poem! I never thought that Dr. Li would actually do some research on poetry. I really admire him!"

Li Ze also smiled awkwardly, but he just recited a sentence of "The Road Is Difficult" by the Immortal Poetry casually, and he didn't have much time to study any poems.

Among the three scholars, Gongsun Yu was the one who responded the most.

It is not the first time for the oldest Gongsun Yu to go to Beijing to rush for an exam. Seeing such a sentence, his whole body trembled with excitement. His lips were trembling, and he murmured: "There will be times when the wind and the waves break... There will be times when the wind cleaves the waves..."

This half sentence of "The Road is Difficult" is not his own heart's expectation for the future.

It's a pity that he has repeatedly failed the rankings, and now he has encountered repeated setbacks in Chang'an. This morning, he was almost beaten to death and reduced to hard labor.

If it wasn't for Li Ze's bankruptcy to eliminate disasters, the three of them would most likely be dead in the wild at this time, or be placed under house arrest in Lu's Bookstore to copy books and do hard labor.

"Boom!" Gongsun Yu suddenly knelt down on the ground, excitedly grabbed Li Ze's hand and said, "Thank you... Thank you Doctor Li for saving your life!"

Li Ze quickly pulled Gongsun Yu up, and quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, there is no need to worry about this matter, but in the past few days, the three gentlemen may need to be busy with Chenggong."

"The paper making and book making are two things that are not easy to accomplish. You three need to cooperate with me. Later, the three of you will follow Chenggong to buy books one by one according to the books required for the imperial examination. The more complete the better. Alright, I have given Cheng Gong the rest of the matter, and you can follow Cheng Gong's instructions."

"However, let me put my ugly words first, this new papermaking technique was made by me, Li, and all the subsequent processes must not be spread out in the same way! Otherwise..." Li Ze said suddenly, " Clang!" With a sound, he pulled out the precious sword bestowed by Li Er from his waist.

The three scholars looked at the royal sword carved with dragons and painted phoenixes around Li Ze's waist, which was decorated with gold, and cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, and their whole bodies twitched slightly.

Not everyone can get this imperial bestowed sword.

Even the current prime minister, few people can get this thing.

One can imagine how high Li Ze's position in the emperor's heart is!
"The villain obeys, even if he dies, the villain will never reveal a word of this matter! Otherwise, the sky will be struck by lightning and he will die!" The three of them immediately became serious, and swore poisonous oaths in unison, with extremely firm eyes shining of light.

"Okay!" Li Ze didn't doubt the sincerity of the three of them.

The moral character of scholars in ancient times was much better than that of some scholars in later generations.

As long as you have the courage to swear, you will naturally fulfill your promise; people in that era still valued their own reputation very much, otherwise the story of "two peaches killing three men" would not have happened.

Li Ze has already handed over the full power to Cheng An to purchase everything needed for papermaking, and now, if he wants to make paper in large quantities, manpower is indispensable.

But now that the war is ahead, it is obviously impossible to ask Li Er to use the method of making salt to borrow soldiers.

If craftsmen are hired, it is very likely to lead to leaks. If this skill is mastered by those clans, the price of paper books may not drop much by then.

On the contrary, it may also cause malicious competition among clans against themselves.

With his own efforts, he could not defeat the major families of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, but he obviously couldn't defeat them.

Li Ze immediately paced the room anxiously. He had no one at his disposal, and his mind was filled with all kinds of things. It was very difficult to think of them.

"Just relying on these servants in the family, the appearance of hundreds of people will certainly not be able to make much waves."

While rubbing his chin, Li Ze walked around the room, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the gourd hanging in the guest room, which was once placed at the door of Du Village's own medical center.

"That's right! Du Village!" Li Ze's eyes lit up immediately.

There are more than 20 victims in Du Village, and now they lack a means of making a living.

"If we let them make paper, with the strength of 20 people, they can almost instantly lower the price of paper in Chang'an City by ten cents!"

"Although Du Village is remote and the terrain is rugged, there are mountains and water, and there are plenty of light and water sources. If Du Village is developed into a professional paper-making town, it will inevitably provide countless paper to Datang. !"

"At the same time, if you make your own books, you can also rely on the strength of 20 people in Du Village!"

Li Ze was immediately excited, as if he had seen 20 people making paper and printing books in full swing.
