The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 42
I have to admit that Xuan Shijing felt that he had really underestimated the people in his house, they were all talents, look at our personal maid, she is 14 years old, she can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, she is capable of writing and martial arts.

This also made Xuan Shijing more and more curious about the Erxian Village that he had never been to. He only knew about Erxian Village after watching "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but he did not expect to become his own disciple. Hearing what Longer said Xuan Shijing feels that the Erxian Village has changed from being the leader of the green forest road in the past, and it seems to be a bit of a good man. His Majesty Li Er can't rub this kind of sand in his eyes.

"That's just right, Long'er, come, sit across from me, and look for it with me. You must have heard what I said to Uncle Zhong just now. In the coming year, we will build a reservoir on our village, dig a river channel, and throw it here. The money on it is indispensable, this papermaking workshop has been established for a day, and the money in our hands can last for a day." Xuan Shijing opened a book and rummaged through it, and said to Long'er.

Long'er naturally understood the reason behind this, so she didn't ask any more questions, and picked up the books on the table to help Xuan Shijing search together.

Searching for these materials is the most boring thing. Xuan Shijing didn't have a good rest last night, but now he is yawning all the time while holding the book, and his eyes are staring at the book. In the end, his head began to Knock on the desk.

Long'er really couldn't stand Xuan Shijing's current state like this, put down the book and said to Xuan Shijing: "Young Lord, if you are sleepy, go to sleep for a while, and let Long'er do these things. "

Xuan Shijing couldn't hold on anymore, closed the book, and said: "Okay, then you continue to look here, I'll lie down and squint for a while." After speaking, he fell asleep on the desk.

Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing who was sleeping on the desk and couldn't help showing a smile. Sometimes her little master really doesn't look like a child. Whose child would worry about making money for the family and making money for the farmer at such a young age? The door allocates money to store water and dig rivers; but sometimes, my Lord Hou is really a child.

Long'er got up gently, took the velvet coat that was put aside, and gently put it on Xuan Shijing's body, then moved her limbs, stretched her waist, and sat down opposite Xuan Shijing , Continue to read this Han Shu, after reading two books in a row, when she opened the third book, Long'er's eyes lit up impressively.

At the beginning, there are these big characters: "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biographies of eunuchs."

After looking carefully for a while, I finally found "The Biography of Cai Lun". After reading it, Long'er looked discouraged, spread the book on the table, and sighed. Papermaking is really too general.

Since ancient times, most of the book deeds have been compiled with bamboo slips, and those who use silk are called paper.It is expensive but simple and heavy, which is not convenient for people.Lun Nai uses tree skin, hemp head and cloth for making (inventing and creating).Fishnet thought paper.In the first year of Yuanxing, it was played.The emperor is good at his ability, so he can use it from time to time, so the world salty calls it "Cai Hou Zhi".

Glancing at Xuan Shijing who was still sleeping soundly, Long'er was a little bit disappointed. Lord Hou had such great expectations for papermaking, but after working hard for a long time, he finally found such a little information...

Long'er got up, carefully picked up Xuan Shijing, and carried her into the couch in the back room of the study. Tonight, Xuan Shijing can only sleep here. It's cold outside. That may be worth the candle.

Slightly open the window of the study room, walk through the carbon gas in the room, Long'er burns the charcoal fire in the brazier more vigorously, goes outside, puts out the candles, Long'er is also on the couch outside and undressed And fell asleep.

Early the next morning, just as Xuan Shijing had breakfast, Xiaoji ran into the backyard in a hurry.

"Little Lord, Little Lord~~~" While running, he shouted to find Xuan Shijing's figure.

Xuan Shijing picked up a piece of pie, walked out of the door of the living room, stood in front of the door, looked at Xiao Ji who was rushing this way: "Slow down, our house is not on fire yet." After speaking, he took a bite of his hand. of pies.

Xiaoji trotted all the way to Xuan Shijing's body, because he ran too fast, he stopped for a while, still panting for breath.

"Look at you, what's the rush, take it easy, take a break first, the devil has entered the village?" Xuan Shijing teased.

Xiaoji stroked his chest, let out a sigh of relief, swallowed, and said, "Young Lord, His Royal Highness King Wei is here."

"Who?" Xuan Shijing swallowed the pie with difficulty: "Wei Wang? Li Tai?"

Xiaoji nodded.

To send money?There was a sparkle in Xuan Shijing's eyes, which made Xiaoji jump.

"Please go to the front hall quickly, and we will serve you with good tea and water." Xuan Shijing ordered: "Long'er, tell me to go down and take this breakfast away. If you don't want to eat, I will go see the king of Wei. There might be something to gain.”

"Yes, Young Master." Long'er replied.

When Xuan Shijing got up in the morning, he saw the description about Cai Lun’s improved paper in the Book of Later Han that Long’er found yesterday. It was really too little. Xuan Shijing didn’t forget that Li Tai agreed at the mansion yesterday. I want to help find some classics about papermaking. Although Li Tai is young, he can be considered to be very knowledgeable. If he helps, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Facing the rising sun with a calm smile on her face, the golden radiance sprinkled on Xuan Shijing's small body, in Long'er's eyes, she added a little more holiness for no reason, like a little fairy who came down from the sky.Long'er shook her head, then looked at the smile on Xuan Shijing's face, it was clearly a little fox, how could she mistakenly see it as a fairy.

Xuan Shijing walked into the hall of the front yard with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to Li Tai.

"I have met His Royal Highness King Wei."

"Shijing doesn't need to be too polite." Li Tai stepped forward to convince Xuan Shijing: "I am here today, firstly, to give you the money I promised you yesterday, and secondly, it is naturally about your papermaking business. In this matter, I have a merciless request." Li Tai did not call himself king or lonely in front of Xuan Shijing, but called himself me, such an approachable Li Tai made Xuan Shijing refresh again. The impression of Li Tai.

"Your Highness, please tell me." Xuan Shijing looked at Li Tai, wondering in his heart, what is Li Tai asking him to do?

"It's not a big deal, but I hope that after the paper-making workshop is completed, I can personally participate in the production of this new paper." Li Tai said.

Xuan Shijing was taken aback, Li Tai wants to make paper himself?Although he was puzzled, he was still very happy in his heart. After all, Li Tai could be regarded as a cultural person compared to himself, and he replied with a smile: "I can't ask for it, but Shijing doesn't understand why His Highness condescends to develop this product himself. What about new paper?"
