Chapter 318 Papermaking Ideas
"Your Majesty?"

The two of them suddenly looked terrified, and looked at Li Xuan in a daze.

"Your Majesty's intention, we really don't know!"

"I don't know?"

Li Xuan sneered, "The two patriarchs have agreed to this king about the Japanese hozen incident in Wannian County, and they will help me find out who is behind the scenes. So how much time has passed?"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde: "..."

My heart trembled, and I couldn't believe it.

After such a long time, the king still remembers it!

"Your Majesty, calm down. Since no clues were found at that time, it can be seen how cautious the mastermind behind the scenes is. Therefore, only after a long time, when his inner vigilance is relaxed, can he show his feet!"

Cui Hongmo said quickly.

"So, do you two have news?"

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing lightly.

"Hey, king..."

The two were all smiling.

"If you have nothing to do, don't bother me in front of this king!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly.

"The villain retire!"

After hearing this, the two quickly left.

As for Li Xuan, he was lying back on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed.

After coming out of the gate of the other courtyard, the two of them relaxed slightly, and let out a long breath.

"It seems that those companies have really offended His Majesty and Your Majesty this time!"

"However, Your Majesty's memory is really long. In the future, you must never..."

While talking in a low voice, the two of them didn't stop, they hurried back to the Jincha shop in Chang'an City.

Inside the shop, there are already a lot of aristocratic family stewards.

"Two virtuous brothers, I wonder if there is any news about the little brother's request?"

Seeing the two of them, they hurriedly greeted them.

The two shook their heads with heavy faces, and then let out a long sigh.

"But what's wrong?"

All the stewards of the aristocratic families could not help but look anxious, and asked quickly.

"Please tell the two virtuous brothers frankly, with this appearance, I really want to wait to death!"

"Exactly, the two virtuous brothers followed His Highness King Jin and made a lot of money, but I have been waiting for these few days, but I am so anxious that I can't eat or sleep well!"

"Ugh!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde sighed heavily again, bowed their hands apologetically to the family stewards.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to help, but that I can't do anything!"

"Exactly, as soon as I opened my mouth today, His Royal Highness King Jin was furious!"

"King Jin is furious?"

Immediately, the expressions of all the family stewards changed slightly.

"Exactly!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde quietly glanced at the family stewards, "This matter is His Majesty's punishment for your petty tricks behind the scenes. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jin reminded me so that we both understood.

My virtuous brothers, because of this matter, the two of us almost annoyed His Royal Highness King Jin.From then on, the two of us would absolutely dare not agree to this kind of thing again, so please forgive me. "

The stewards of all the aristocratic families couldn't help laughing dryly, and said again and again.

"This matter has really troubled the two virtuous brothers. Today, the younger brother invited the two virtuous brothers to a banquet, which is regarded as an apology!"

"Exactly, it was our negligence that caused the two virtuous brothers to suffer, and we must make amends!"

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but wry smiles.

He hurriedly took care of the affairs of the aristocratic families, and again and again accused him of crimes.

"Brothers, I still have a lot of things in my hands. I really can't go out. Please forgive me, forgive me!"

"In another day, the two of us will host a banquet in person, and invite you all to make amends!"

"Ok?"

The stewards of the aristocratic families were full of curiosity.

"I'm the same as a child of an aristocratic family. What else are you two virtuous brothers so busy with?"

"Exactly, the autumn harvest will start in another half a month. What else do you two need to be busy these days?"

"My virtuous brothers, forgive me, it's the white dimples I planted this year, and we've already started picking them!"

Cui Hongmo cupped his hands and said.

"White Diezi?"

The stewards of all the aristocratic families couldn't help but be surprised.

"Exactly, a full twenty acres, His Royal Highness King Jin attaches great importance to this, and we must not be negligent!"

Cui Hongmo nodded quickly, and said again: "Besides, Aye at home has brought his little sister and others, and he is coming to Chang'an soon, so I have to prepare for this!"

"Patriarch Cui? Princess Jin?"

Now, the stewards of these aristocratic families couldn't help being envious after being surprised.

"In this way, I will not bother the two virtuous brothers anymore!"

"I'll send you off respectfully, dear brothers!..."

Walking out of the Jin tea shop, the faces of the family stewards who were originally smiling suddenly fell silent.

Especially thinking of Cui Hongmo's words, everyone couldn't help but sighed together, and then went back to their homes.

King Jin's side can't work, so they can only face His Majesty Li Er alone.

Ugh!
……

Three days later.

Inside Lijiazhuang Forge.

Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and others stood on one side, quietly watching Li Dashi and Mo Laosi, one standing at the end of the water tank, holding a giant curtain, swinging in the water tank full of yellow silk. swing away.

After repeated many times, the giant curtain was covered with a thin layer of yellow paper.

Then, after it dries a little, peel off a thin piece of yellow paper with your hands.

Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and the others didn't have to wait long. Under the sun, the huge yellow paper was completely dried and formed.

"Master, what a yellow paper!"

"I didn't expect that it would be so cumbersome to make yellow paper!"

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Baoding and others were all excited.

Although they are the eldest sons of the royal family of Guogong County, this is the first time they have watched the papermaking process.

"Ok?"

However, Li Xuan found something wrong.

"Why is this yellow paper slightly rough compared to the yellow paper used by this king?"

"Forgive me, my lord. In order to present the papermaking process to the lord as soon as possible, this villain has simplified the process of boiling the yellow tiller skin a lot, and the resulting yellow paper is rougher than normal yellow paper!"

Li Dashi said quickly.

"I see!"

For this, Li Xuan did not blame him.

Originally, he asked the two to make embellished paper just to watch some of the papermaking process.

"Letai, have you come up with a way to improve papermaking?"

Thinking about it, Li Xuan looked at the bandstand beside him.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Le Tai immediately felt ashamed.

Seeing this, Li Xuan chuckled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

Looking at Li Dashi and Mo Laosi who were busy making paper with a giant curtain again, they said thoughtfully: "The yellow paper made from the skin of the yellow tiller is yellow in color. Not white?"

"bamboo?"

Hearing this, Letai's expression changed.

"exactly!"

Li Xuan thought for a while, and said: "Pull out the white bamboo fiber in the bamboo, boil it, and then use good lime to turn it into mortar, apply it on the bamboo material, put it in a bucket and cook it, and boil it into a paste. Then rinse it clean and make it like yellow paper, I wonder if it is feasible?"

"The king is very wise!"

Le Tai's eyes lit up, and he said hastily: "This method, the villain thinks it is feasible, but I am waiting in the middle of Guanzhong, and there are not many bamboos!"

"There seem to be several long bamboo forests on Mount Zhongnan, we can send people to look for them tomorrow!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes, the villain will look for it tomorrow!"

Le Tai said quickly.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded, and said again: "So, can the rice stalks in the fields be used to make paper?"

"Don't worry, my lord, after the autumn harvest, the villain will collect some rice stalks to test!"

At this moment, Letai was full of motivation.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Then, after watching it again for a while, he went out.

In this weather, the forging workshop was like a big steamer, and he was already drenched in just a short while!
