Chapter 24

After Kong Yingda entered the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was talking to the ministers.

"Dr. Kong, but what's the matter?" Li Shimin sat on it and said to Li Shimin who had just come in.

"Your Majesty, I have just obtained a good thing, and I came here to show it to Your Majesty. This thing is a great blessing for the world's study!" After saluting Li Shimin, Kong Yingda took out from his sleeve pocket. Out of the paper, handed it with both hands.

Immediately, the commander-in-chief on duty came down to pick it up, and then unfolded it. After finding that there was nothing abnormal, he handed it to Li Shimin.

"What kind of treasure is this? Paper?"

"Looks like paper!"

"Maybe it's paper!" The ministers below looked at it and found that it looked like paper, but they weren't sure yet.

And after Li Shimin took it, he was also very surprised, such a big paper, and it was so flat, the key was that it was very white!

"This is paper? Where did Dr. Kong get it?" Li Shimin stood up in surprise and asked Kong Yingda.

"Go back to your majesty, there are some for sale in Dongcheng. Now there are a lot of scholars there. I looked at that shop, and there are still a lot of papers like this, a large sheet of five cents, and such a large sheet can almost be copied. One book, thick books, three or four is probably enough.

Your Majesty, this is a great good thing for the scholars in the world. Now I have few scholars in the Tang Dynasty. The key is that there are no books. Those books are controlled by the big family, and many of them are bamboo slips, which is very inconvenient to read.

If it can be copied on paper, I believe that there must be a large number of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. The key is that when I look at the store, there is a lot of paper, unlike rice paper, the output is extremely low! "Kong Yingda said excitedly to Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay, someone here, go and invite the owner of that shop right away!" Li Shimin stood up excitedly and said.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, I don't know what the paper is like!" Zhangsun Wuji stood up at this moment and said to Li Shimin.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin immediately sat down, took a brush, and began to write on it. After writing, he turned to the back to see it.

"Good paper, this kind of paper can be used for writing. For ordinary scholars, there is no problem at all. It is even said that there is no problem with using paper in Chaotang. Take it down and take a look!" Li Shimin said. Then he handed the other papers to the captain next to him.

The captain took the paper and went down the steps for the ministers to use.

"You can cut it out and write it. It's fine. It's very cheap. These pieces of paper are only 200 cents. If it's rice paper, it's estimated to cost [-] cents. The key is that you can't buy it!" Kong Yingda stood there and said. .

"Are there many more in that shop? Where did they get it?" Li Shimin stood there and asked.

"This minister hasn't inquired clearly yet, but when he finds this paper, he will bring it over and show it to His Majesty!" Kong Yingda said.

"Okay, okay, go have a look, send someone to take a look!" Li Shimin said a little excitedly.

Now the aristocratic family controls most of the officials of the court, and there are very few children of the poor family. It is not that they do not like reading, but the fundamental reason is that there are no books to read.

Because those books are under the control of the family, one of the important factors is that there is not enough paper. If there is enough paper, then the content of the books can be copied out, so that there will still be many readers willing to read.

"Your Majesty, this minister suggested to seal up this shop immediately, seal up those papers, and let's talk about it after the investigation is clear.

Now the origin of this paper is unknown. It stands to reason that such a good thing should be dedicated to Your Majesty. Wouldn’t it be better if His Majesty made great efforts to make it and distribute it to scholars all over the world, but this person actually wanted to sell it in the market, which is completely It is an insult to the readers of the world! "Zhangsun Wuji stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Ah? Well, that's a bad word!" Kong Yingda was stunned when she heard it, but she didn't agree with what Changsun Wuji said.

"Isn't it? Such good paper should be enjoyed by scholars all over the world, and should be presented to Your Majesty as auspiciousness!" The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Kong Yingda and said.

"But!"

"The minister agrees with the words of Zhangsun Shangshu, this matter still needs to be investigated and discussed clearly!" Another minister stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, this is not right. After all, this was made by the people. If Your Majesty goes to seal this shop, I am afraid that scholars all over the world will have opinions!"

Kong Yingda was in a hurry. He didn't expect that when he came to report to Li Shimin, he would bring so much trouble to the owner of the shop.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's better to check it out and see where this paper came from. If there is no problem, I will reward that owner!" Li Shimin thought about it and said to Kong Yingda.

"Yes! But!"

"Okay, that's all set, just temporarily seal it up and investigate it clearly!" Li Shimin interrupted Kong Yingda's words, and then said to a commander next to him, "Cheng Chusi, go and investigate it yourself."

"It's Your Majesty!" Cheng Chusi immediately cupped his hands, then went down and exited the Nectar Palace.

Li Lizhi, who was outside, was still in a hurry. Seeing Cheng Chusi coming out, she immediately went over and asked, "How long will it take for royal father and the others? I've been waiting for so long?"

"Eldest Princess, this minister doesn't know either. The minister still has things to do. Your Highness, you should wait a little longer. It probably won't take long!" Cheng Chusi immediately smiled and surrendered to Li Lizhi when he saw that it was Li Lizhi. said.

"Okay, really!" Li Lizhi became impatient, thinking about the outside world.

And Wei Hao is quite comfortable at the moment, because the paper sells so well, and now those big households have come to buy it, some of them are worth 5_ Lined Clients , Wei Hao likes this kind of customer!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this moment, a team of Guards came from a distance.

"Young Master!" A servant was a little flustered when he saw the guards coming.

"What are you afraid of? It's okay!" Wei Hao was actually a little flustered, but now he has to bite the bullet.

"It's all spread out, no paper is sold here!" Cheng Chusi came to the front, waved at the people in line, then turned around and asked Wei Hao, "Who is your owner?"

Those servants all looked at Wei Hao.

"Fuck, I'm not the owner, the owner didn't come!" Wei Hao cursed in his heart, and then bit his head and said to Cheng Chusi, "This soldier, I'm the owner, do you have any questions?"

"Just be here, come with us later, we will seal it up here!" Cheng Chusi said to Wei Hao.

"What's the matter? Seal it up? Why do you want to seal it up? Am I breaking the law?" Wei Hao was shocked when he heard it. He didn't do anything, so he would seal his shop.

"If you say seal it, seal it up. If you still have an opinion, come with me!" Cheng Chusi waved at the people below.

"Don't move, no one is allowed to move, your uncle, who are you, if you say it's seized, it's seized, Mad, robbing money? Seeing that I've got so much money here, you'll come and rob it, right? "As Wei Hao said, he lifted the bench he just sat on and made a defensive posture.

At this time, the soldiers beside Cheng Chusi drew out their knives and pointed at Wei Hao.

"Yoah, you're not too timid, don't you know we are the Praetorian Guards? Huh?" Cheng Chusi laughed when he saw Wei Hao like this. It was rare for someone to dare to defy the Praetorian Guards.

"What happened to the Praetorian Guards, there are no bad guys in the Praetorian Guards? Who are you? Why do you want to close my shop?" Wei Hao said to Cheng Chusi.

"Who cares who I am? Come and fight if you have the ability!" Cheng Chusi smiled and hooked his finger at Wei Hao!

Wei Hao took a look at the war knife hanging on Cheng Chusi's waist, and looked at the soldiers around him who were holding the knife at him, swallowed a saliva, and thought to himself, "I can't beat it, they all have knives. What if you get killed by them?"

"Don't you dare?" Cheng Chusi asked Wei Hao with a smile.

"If there's something, we'll go head-to-head, or you can go together, we don't need weapons, we just use fists, how about that?" Wei Hao swallowed his saliva and said to Cheng Chusi.

"Let's go together? Who are you insulting? Come on, I promise you don't need weapons, you also put down the stool, let's fight!" Cheng Chusi said, taking off his saber and throwing it to the soldier next to him.

"Okay, but if you lose the fight later, other people are not allowed to use a knife to fight, or you can fight with your bare hands. When we get to a fight, I'll admit it if we lose. Wherever you take me, I will also There is no way, if you can't win, then you can't close my shop! And you can't take me away!" Wei Hao said again boldly, thinking in his heart, Li Changle, you dead girl, if you don't come again, I'm about to be beaten to death and the money is gone.

"Don't worry, I promise to deal with you without weapons. Brothers have heard it!" Cheng Chusi said with a smile, looking at Wei Hao. He has never seen such a person who is not afraid of death. Dare to challenge the Praetorian Guards is simply out of his mind. .

"It's done! Look at the move!" Wei Hao put down the stool as he spoke, and before Cheng Chusi could react, Wei Hao rushed over.

After all, Cheng Chusi was also born to practice martial arts. After all, his father was Cheng Yaojin, a master of the state, and he had a family heritage of martial arts, so when Wei Hao's fist came over, he subconsciously blocked it with his arm.

"Ouch!" Cheng Chusi let out a sigh, feeling that his arm was smashed by a copper hammer, but before he could make the next move, Wei Hao punched him in the face.

Cheng Chusi only felt his head buzzing, his eyes were all white, and he fell straight down.
