Chapter 23

In the early morning of the next day, Li Lizhi arrived at the Ganlu Temple very early, but Li Shimin was earlier, and now he has already entered the court. He is discussing important matters with those ministers. Li Lizhi can only wait outside, in his heart He was anxious. He knew that he needed to sell paper today, but he didn't go, so he didn't know what Wei Hao would say.

Wei Hao, who was outside, came to the store and found that there were scholars waiting outside. Those scholars came here after seeing the notice.

"Excuse me, do you have paper to buy here, and it's a big piece of five cents?" A scholar asked when he saw Wei Hao standing in front of the store.

"Yes!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Then when will it start selling?" The scholar continued to ask, and the other scholars also looked at him.

"Right now, don't worry, there must be!" Wei Hao said with a smile to reassure the scholar, and then he saw Li Lizhi's servants, who came over early in the morning.

"That girl hasn't come yet, really, don't care, open the door to do business!" Wei Hao said to the servants.

The servants nodded hurriedly and began to open the shop door.

As soon as the shop door was opened, those scholars saw the inside of the shop, all of which were pure white paper, and they were still piled up in piles, I don't know how many.

"Well, a large piece of five cents, take it back by yourself, and cut it as much as you want. It's so much cheaper than rice paper, and it's almost the same price as yellow paper. If you take back this kind of paper, you can copy books and write. , you can do anything!" Wei Hao said to the scholars with a smile.

"Hurry up!" A scholar at the door said anxiously to Wei Hao.

"Why are you in a hurry? How much do you want?" Wei Hao immediately shouted at the scholar.

"I want five!" The scholar stretched out his hand and said.

"Take the money!" Wei Hao also stretched out his hand and shouted at him.

"Here you are!" The scholar counted 25 Wen and handed it to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao immediately ordered five of the people behind him, rolled them up, and handed them to the scholar.

"Okay, prepare the money if you want, and we will count it for you at that time!" Wei Hao stood there and shouted, and then the scholars started to line up here.

"Give me ten!"

"Give me two!"

"Give me a hundred!"

Those scholars reported the number in front, and the servants went to count the paper, and gave the paper after paying the money.

Wei Hao carried a chair and sat there watching, watching all the money thrown into the basket.

After a while, a basket was full, worth at least 50 taels of money, and those scholars were not happy when they got the paper. Some people didn't bring enough money, so they hurriedly sent back the paper they just bought, and went back to get it again. Money to go, continue to come to buy.

Soon, the entire store was filled with scholars. Some merchants saw that the business here was so good, and they were still selling paper at such a low price. They also came to see and buy a few, hoping to cooperate with Wei Hao.

"Cooperation, in two days, it will only be sold in Chang'an. If you want to sell it outside, you can. Come here in two days to talk. Now I don't have time!" Wei Hao sat there, facing those who came to ask. The businessman said.

"Okay, okay, what's your name, Young Master?" The businessmen asked happily when they heard it.

"The last name is Wei!" Wei Hao said, and continued to stare at the money he threw into his basket. Three baskets had already been filled, and they were still being filled, and he didn't know how many people there were outside.

Wei Hao is very happy at the moment, but also a little regretful, why Li Changle hasn't come yet, is something wrong with her, the key is that he doesn't even know where her home is, and he forgot to ask, What kind of country is Dad?

"Hey, something happened, right? If something happened, it would be cheaper for me!" Wei Hao sat there, thinking a little regretfully.

At this moment, in Kong Yingda's house, Kong Yingda is already a doctor of the Imperial Court of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a descendant of the sage Kong. Azu, Azu, look, paper, such good paper!"

"What?" Kong Yingda looked at his eldest grandson in confusion, wondering why he was so excited.

"Look, Azu, look!" Kong Yingda said and spread the paper he bought on Kong Yingda's bookcase.

"This is paper? Where did you get such beautiful paper? It's not worse than rice paper!" Kong Yingda said excitedly after seeing it.

"Azu, there is something for sale right here in Dongcheng. You can buy as much as you want. A lot of people buy it over there. I just brought 100 yuan, and I bought it all. Now I still need that money to buy it. Buying more is enough. Five cents is a big one, and just like that, you can transcribe a book! If the number of words is large, I estimate that three can be copied.

Azu, there are still so many bamboo slips at home. If we can buy enough paper, then those bamboo slips can be copied down so that they will not be lost! "Kong Zhixuan said excitedly to Kong Yingda.

"I'll take a look, I'll take a look!" Kong Yingda said and started writing with a brush, and found that it was very good, the ink was fast, but it was not transparent. This kind of paper is quite good.

"Good paper, this is good paper!" Kong Yingda said excitedly.

"That's right, Azu, I'm going to get the money. There are so many people over there now. It would be a pity if they sold out!" Kong Zhixuan was quite happy when he heard Kong Yingda say this.

"Come on, the old man will go too, let's go!" Kong Yingda said excitedly.

There are still a lot of bamboo slips at home, but because there is not enough paper, they have not been transcribed.

As a doctor of Guozijian, plus a baron, he can only get ten sheets of one-foot-square paper a month. How can that be enough? Sometimes, in order to copy a book, he needs to save several months of rice paper. enough.

Soon, Kong Yingda took a carriage to Wei Hao's shop. Now it can be said to be crowded with people, and there are a lot of carriages driving past!

"Azu, let's come down, now there are all people here, so we can only queue up!" Kong Zhixuan said to Kong Yingda.

"You are lining up to buy it, this old man comes forward to have a look!" Kong Yingda said to Kong Zhixuan, while he squeezed forward and finally got to the front. Go to the front.

"How much?" The servant looked at Kong Yingda and asked.

"Oh, really!" Kong Yingda was anxious to find that she had no money on her.

"Master, master here!" A servant at the back handed over a money bag, and now Kong Yingda also knows that the paper here is five cents.

"Give me 20 first, and I'll count the money for you!" Kong Yingda stood there and counted the money.

"You go to the side to count the money first, and then come over after counting. Don't block the people behind, they have already counted the money!" Wei Hao said to Kong Yingda when he saw it.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the old man has counted 20 coins, you can give me 4 first!" Kong Yingda said and handed the servant 20 coins to the store. .

After Kong Yingda got the paper, he immediately walked to the side.

Wei Hao, on the other hand, continued to watch here. Today, there are 10 large sheets of paper in this shop, but now, more than [-]% of the sales have been made. Wei Hao has already sent people to install it. Now the business is so good, of course it needs more. Just sell some.

And Wei Hao looked at the people queuing outside, thinking that it is possible to sell hundreds of thousands of copies today, and many people went back to withdraw money, and they brought more money.

Now they buy [-] or [-], and even rich people buy [-] or [-]. Wei Hao is of course very happy to see these.

After Kong Yingda went out, he was stopped by Kong Zhixuan.

"Azu, you just bought it? Why did you buy so many?" Kong Zhixuan looked at Kong Yingda anxiously and said.

"You are lining up to buy, the old man still has something to do. I have to go to the palace, but I need to buy more!" Kong Yingda said to Kong Zhixuan as he walked.

When Kong Zhixuan heard it, he nodded, and then Kong Yingda ran into the palace.

At this moment, Li Lizhi was in a hurry. It was already very late. Li Shimin had not yet entered the court and was still discussing something with those ministers, but he couldn't wait.

"Eunuch Wang, go and urge your father, I still have important things to go out!" Li Lizhi said to Wang De.

"No way, Your Highness, I just said it when I was young, and His Majesty glared at me. Now they are discussing big things!" Wang De said to Li Lizhi in embarrassment.

"This, oh, what can I do about this!" Li Lizhi was anxiously turning around, thinking in her heart, that Wei Hanzi would definitely complain about such an important matter, so she didn't go through it, so she wasn't despised by him?

At this moment, Kong Yingda came over.

"Dr. Kong? But what's the matter?" Wang De asked when he saw him rushing.

"It is a matter of great importance to scholars all over the world. This old man needs to urgently ask to see His Majesty!" Kong Yingda stopped and said to Wang De.

Kong Yingda usually does not come to Ganlu Hall unless Li Shimin summoned him to come to teach, so now Wang De heard what he said, he immediately asked Kong Yingda to wait a moment, and went in to inform him first.

After a while, Wang De came out and said to Kong Yingda, "Dr. Kong, Your Majesty, please come in!"

"Okay, okay!" Kong Yingda said, raising his legs and walking inside quickly.
