Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

In the courtyard of Li Mansion.

Li Yi set up the pot.

No one would have thought that Li Yi's papermaking was actually caused by a tragedy caused by going to the toilet. at this time.

The kiln in the workshop is already firing.

The clinker was poured directly into the boiling water in the furnace, and then the laborer began to stir with a long stick, constantly heating and stirring the boiling water to turn it into pulp...

All of this was like magic, and the originally extremely difficult pulp The production was surprisingly easy here and the mixture was smooth. The latex-like pulp was extremely uniform.

The manufacturing process that originally took countless hours turned out to be miraculous and was completed in just a few hours.

Shangguan Yi and Di Renjie on the side looked dumbfounded.

"Senior brother, are you sure your mentor is making paper? Di

Renjie asked Shangguan Yi blankly.

Shangguan Yi opened his mouth in surprise:"This is too fast!" Is this good? Can this be made into paper?"

How can papermaking be so easy?

This is wrong!

Di Renjie and Shangguanyi also visited the papermaking workshop in the palace.

The complexity of the process shocked both of them.

How come it turned out to be like this when they arrived at Li Yi's place? Simple?

Not only has the process been reduced by dozens, it can be completed with a little tweaking of ordinary labor, but what’s even more frightening is... After the paper is finally cut out, it undergoes post-bleaching, and finally drying. The texture is exceptionally smooth and extremely white.

Most of the papers in the Tang Dynasty are yellowish.

The two of them couldn't figure out why the originally white paper turned hard and snow-white in Li Yi's hands.

This How much does it cost to grow paper?

And what about your mentor?

He used it for shit?

This...is sinful!

After the stacks of paper were cut, they finally took shape. Li Yi stepped forward and touched the texture of the paper. After observing its color, he shook his head in his heart. This paper... was still far behind compared with the paper of later generations.

But Li Yi was not satisfied.

Shangguan Yi and Di Renjie were wet with it.

Damn it!

It's all white. Paper!

It blinded the eyes of the two of them.

Li Yi took the paper, nodded and said:"With this thing in the future, I won't be afraid of leaking when I go to the latrine.""

Ugh!

Ugh!

Shangguan Yi and Di Renjie began to retching uncontrollably again.

……

On Wannian County Official Road.

Yu Shinan rode a donkey and came to Li Mansion leisurely.

After revealing your identity.

Then he found Li Yi. to be honest.

Li Yi's words,"Water can carry a boat but also capsize it" shocked Yu Shinan's heart.

He smiled and held up his hands:"I have admired Mr. Li Xiaolang's name for a long time... huh? What is that in your hand?"

Li Yi said in confusion:"Obviously, it's a blank piece of paper."

Yu Shinan peed.

The whole person was trembling slightly.

He is a master of calligraphy and has been exposed to many kinds of paper.

He knows very well what kind of paper is good and what is not.

"good."

Yu Shinan stroked his beard, looked at the white paper, and couldn't help but nod.

Li Yi also nodded:"Indeed, it is easier to use it in the latrine."

Yu Shinan:"……"

His face suddenly turned ugly, as if he thought he heard wrongly

"What did you just say? Going to the pit? Use this paper? Li Yi nodded:"

Otherwise?" The old straw paper was too soft and easy to break, so it didn't work."

Buzz buzz...

Yu Shinan can be considered a person who has seen the world. At this moment... he felt that his head was completely blank and he was completely confused.

His face suddenly dropped, and he said in an educational tone:"Li Yi! Do you know you are wrong?"

The change happened so fast that Li Yi was caught off guard.

He said confusedly:"What's wrong?

Yu Shinan hummed:"You will never regret it if you persist!" You are so stubborn that you don’t regret it! I'm here to ask you, how much is this piece of paper worth?"

"Isn't this... worthless? I don't know either."

Pfft...

I've never seen such a arrogance.

It's not worth a few dollars. I can't afford such paper for my cursive writing. You little kid, but you don't take this precious paper seriously, what does it mean? Then

?

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had people wrap a tree with silk, he must have thought that the silk was not worth much money.

A waste of money!

A total waste of money!

Yu Shinan's beard trembled in anger:"That's nonsense! Don't insult the paper! you can not do that! You are still young! How could it be so extravagant?"

Seeing Yu Shinan stamping his feet in anger, Li Yi became even more confused.

"What's wrong? Ah...I know, you are Yu Shinan!"

Nah!

Yu Shinan feels humiliated.

I introduced myself when I came here, and you just remembered it now?

Li Yi really just remembered it.

To be precise, I remembered Yu Shinan's identity.

This is the Tang Dynasty's A famous calligrapher!

"Swords are given to heroes, famous papers are given to everyone"

"When you leave, I will give you dozens of kilograms of paper. You can take it back and write slowly. Don't be polite to me. Write more calligraphy or something and bring it to me, okay?"

Yu Shinan was stunned.

To be honest, he was shocked. He looked at Li Yi in surprise. He looked indignant!

When... such good paper was measured in kilograms.

He was humiliating me.

Seeing Yu Shinan, he remained silent.

Li Yi was also slightly surprised.

Was it too little?

Oh, yes.

Li Yi suddenly remembered something.

This Yu Shinan has seen the world and has a deep family background!

The Yu family is a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Ten pounds seems a bit low-grade. It seems that my size is too small.

"If you think twenty kilograms is too little, how about... one hundred kilograms...?"

Being able to get Yu Shinan's calligraphy is worth it no matter what. Besides, this paper... it's really not valuable!

But when I said it cost a hundred kilograms, I felt a little guilty. Although the paper is not valuable, it's worth it. Hasn't it just started manufacturing now? I'm afraid the efficiency won't be that fast.

Yu Shinan was surprisingly silent at this moment. He... wanted to say something at this time, but was silent.

At this time, his brain was already calculating quickly. What is the concept of a hundred pounds of blank paper?

It seems that my brain is a bit insufficient. It's a pity that I can't use an abacus.

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong with you? Can you just say a word?"Li Yi felt that he was kind enough.

This is already very generous. Isn't this enough?

Is this Yu Shinan so rich? Does he have such a big appetite?

For a long time...

Yu Shinan stared at Li Yi, suddenly with a surprisingly calm expression. In a tone of voice, he said word for word:"Boy...are you humiliating me?"

Li Yi was shocked. The ancients were not kind. One hundred kilograms of paper was not enough? Even the Yu family of Yuyao didn't have to be so loud, right? People's hearts are not enough. Snakes swallow elephants.

Li Yi thought he had given less..

I have to say that this Yu Shinan does have a big appetite.

One hundred kilograms of paper, is it enough for Nima to write many cursive scripts?

Isn’t this enough?

He gritted his teeth.

Li Yi stamped his feet and said:"One hundred kilograms is a humiliation, then three hundred Jin, no more."

Pfft...

Yu Shinan is about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He is already over seventy years old. He can't stand this stimulation.

What is the concept of three hundred kilograms?

This is an astronomical figure.

Even if it is ordinary hard yellow paper, this price is not high. Fei, what's more... such a precious piece of paper?

He felt that his body was on the verge of collapse, and he felt like he had suffered a great shame and humiliation. As a great scholar, his mind immediately thought of the allusion of Shi Chong's fight for wealth. This boy really didn't regard money as money.

I’m sorry!
