The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 618 His Majesty is holding back a big move?

Chang'an is the center of Tianxia Pass.

The weight is like a kimono, the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty.

What happened in Chang'an within half a year all affected the development of the entire Tang Dynasty, and even fluctuated the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty.

But behind this, there are only one or two people pushing.

For a moment, even Zheng Yunhe and Wang Duan couldn't help but think carefully and fear...

Although it sounds like sleepwalking, when I think about it carefully, it is still secretive.

In this way, Tang Sufan must not be underestimated like before.

Zheng Yunhe's complexion was serious, his eyes were like torches.

Wang Duan put down the wine glass, all the attraction of the wine disappeared at this moment, with a serious look on his face.

"Brother Zheng, since we have talked so far, I guess... you should have guessed it, then Chang'an Bookstore must have a new method of making paper, and even... a method of making books that surpasses the method of rubbing!"

This kind of conjecture is not limited to Wang Duan, and now several big families have guessed it.

As soon as Wang Duan finished speaking, Zheng Yunhe's eyes froze.

A new way to make paper!Even a new method of extension!
The implication is self-evident.

In the past six months, Chang'an Bookstore's cheap and constant paper, although it has only been used as a newspaper, has not been found, but time has seen the clues.

Among them, the hundreds of neat and orderly fonts, templates, and even the specifications of the main newspaper have already explained a lot.

If a person like Wang Duan and Zheng Yunhe can't see anything, then he is really a fool~
Zheng Yunhe's long and narrow eyes flashed brightly, no emotion could be seen.

"It's more than just guessing. The Chang'an Bookstore is now a great threat. Among them, the method of expanding characters..."

"To be honest, Brother Wang, before the New Year's Eve, after careful research by our family, we found that if the boards are arranged in columns and the characters are rubbed separately, then the printing will be uniform and the printing will not change!"

Not all ancient people are fools, his Zheng family is a hundred-year-old scholar, and his heritage is so strong.

Before the end of the new year, the mystery of this method of rubbing has been discovered. After half a month of discussion and research in the bookstores under all properties of the Zheng family, this movable type printing technique has finally been studied and understood.

Following that, Zheng Yunhe's tone became slightly lower.

"Now, our family has already figured out the method of dividing and rubbing characters...but..."

Zheng Yunhe pondered slightly, Wang Duan frowned.

Split word rubbing...

Combined with Zheng Yunhe's words and thought about it for a little while, it suddenly became clear, that's how it was.

This method should be a wonderful word. From then on, the act of hand-recording and making plates is just a laborious effort!
As long as there is enough paper, various books can be rubbed and printed according to the specifications!

Such a mysterious method, as expected~
Wang Duan secretly wrote down this wonderful method, and naturally went to study it later.

For the aristocratic family, any method of monopolizing culture is a weapon they must master.

Following Zheng Yunhe's words, Wang Duan naturally thought clearly.

"Brother Zheng is worried. Does Chang'an Bookstore have a cheaper way to make paper?!"

Zheng Yunhe sighed softly, Cheng Fu Ru also had a real worry in his eyes at this moment.

"Brother Wang is right. For one thing, the Chang'an Bookstore's paper, two papers per piece, is six or seven times cheaper than ordinary paper on the market. At first, I am afraid that several families thought that the move by the imperial court was a deliberate creation. A place that understands public opinion and guides momentum. Spending money to build momentum is not as good as this~”

"Secondly, this Chang'an Bookstore, every time it publishes an article for half a year, there are no less than [-] copies, and now "Manjianghong" is all over Chang'an in less than a day..."

Zheng Yunhe's complexion changed——

"Heh, it can be said that Chang'an Bookstore has a cheaper method of making paper in all likelihood..."

"The cheapness of it is far beyond our imagination!"

As soon as Zheng Yunhe's last words fell, the two fell into silence.

Because of the advantages and disadvantages, there is not enough to say.

Today's papermaking method is rich in raw materials. In addition to the hemp and bark of the Han Dynasty, the raw materials used include hemp, Chu skin, mulberry skin, rattan skin, daphne skin, hibiscus skin and bamboo.

It is also divided into raw paper, cooked paper, etc., and the cost is different, each with its own characteristics.

Among them, the best quality rice paper is thin enough to cook with and keeps blistering, but how expensive is this kind of paper?

Of course, for all the methods of papermaking, even the cheapest cooked paper that can be used to make a book requires eight to ten coins a piece.

Moreover, the quality of Chang'an Bookstore's paper is close to that of cooked paper and rice paper. If it is even said that the cost is two yuan per piece, is this not just a dream?

If you just go to the street to buy a biscuit, it will cost you two or three pennies, right?

What's more, in the years when there is such a saying as a piece of paper and a piece of jade?
If this is true—

Not only is this not a fool's dream joke, but a horror story that makes their hair stand on end!
If we say that the so-called "a piece of paper and a piece of jade" is really broken in this world, the cost of reading from now on will be enough to break the old saying that reading is expensive for scholars.

As long as the imperial court intends to interfere, within three to five years, the so-called reliance of the world's aristocratic families will be broken six out of ten.

If coupled with the strength of the current imperial court, deliberately supporting the poor family to divide his family's deep roots over the years.

In these two days, since the Shang and Zhou clans, the biggest weapon and murderous intent!
The two people who had just won over a lot of prestige by relying on the names handpicked by Wen Sheng couldn't help but their expressions completely sank.

"Brother Zheng, if it is true, how could it be possible for His Majesty to remain silent for half a year?"

Wang Duan's brows were silent. Regarding this matter, no matter how many of them or any family, they had to be extremely cautious!

"Based on my humble guess, firstly, the papermaking method of Chang'an Publishing House has not yet reached a certain level of cheapness, and it is still an act of buying wood with tassels. Secondly,——His Majesty is planning a big move——"

Big move? ! ! !

Lifting Zheng Yunhe's long and narrow eyes, he met Wang Duan's serious eyes!

Based on the changes in His Majesty in the past six months, maybe!

If it is said that half a year ago, who would dare to say that they are sure to prepare their troops and go to Mobei?

But now, in just half a year, Li Shimin not only predicted all the movements of the Turks by virtue of his insight and insight, but also used unpredictable marching tactics to make his way as fast as possible.

Now, it's almost time to hit Jie Li's old court!

Now, it is not enough for one month to go out to Mobei on the first day of the new year.

Your Majesty today is unfathomable——

The two pondered for a while, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Brother Zheng, I wonder if you have any good recipes?"

Zheng Yunhe pushed the jug in front of him lightly, Wang Duan looked away and understood the meaning.

"Brother Zheng means..."
