Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

“Your brother, this is a profit share? Or do you share the losses separately? ”

Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning frowned, looked at her brother for unknown reasons, and then looked at her younger brother.

In her impression, the emperor’s brother makes paper every year and loses money every year, so papermaking and losing money are equated.

In fact, people who exclaim without understanding the cost think so.

Li Xiaogong picked up a new piece of paper found in the book and shook it with a rustling sound.

“The toughness of the paper is good, and the rice paper issued by the imperial court every month, such a large cost is three cents.”

“Cousin, you have reduced the cost and can be mass-produced, how much does your piece of paper cost?”

Li Yuanfang glanced at the paper.

The paper he placed on his desk, each cut to A4 size according to modern custom.

“The cost of a piece of paper is very low, I have carefully calculated it these days, according to the size of the paper in my cousin’s hand, the cost is 1 penny 25 sheets.”

“I recommend selling white paper for 1 penny 15 sheets.”

“Brother Huang, you can’t be cheap, and I don’t agree to do this business even cheaper.”

A pool of paper gives approximate raw materials, and there is no more intuitive recognition of today’s right.

Rice paper is so expensive!

Li Xiaogong’s eyes widened in shock.

“Rice paper is so expensive, just this paper in my hand, it costs 3 to replace it with ordinary rice paper, and 5 to 8 pieces of good rice paper.”

“You this… You sell 15 blank pieces of paper in this 1 article, this is to make the cold students crazy to rob ah. ”

Li Xiuning patted Li Shimin’s arm and teased him with a slight smile.

“Brother Huang, you can sell paper according to Yuanfang’s plan.”

“In business, he knows more than you, and he makes more money than you, can you think of a day when you will not lose money selling paper?”

Li Shimin shook his head slightly.

“Can’t.”

Every year, he loses tens of thousands of dollars, and he hopes that the price of paper will be reduced so that the people of the Great Tang can afford it.

Cold students have books to read, and paper to make manuscripts for themselves.

The high price of paper that year became an eternal pain in his own heart.

Now it’s good, the royal family has a genius.

Losing money?

Under the continuous invention of the ninth brother Li Yuanfang, sorry, losing money is a non-existent thing.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the happier he became, and he quickly agreed to Li Yuanfang’s request.

“It’s accurate, 15 pieces for 1 penny, and the income is still very considerable if the amount is large.”

“In fact, Xu is also poor, and if you can make money on the basis of convenience, you really won’t refuse at all.”

“How big can this paper be?” Can I draw a big picture? ”

Li Yuanfang rolled his eyes, and walked to the bookcase on the side as he spoke.

“You wait, I’ll go get the largest white paper, as well as the special paper for drawing in the grid, and the paper on the desk is only used for writing homework.”

The bookcase was at the other end, and when Li Yuanfang went to get something, the others began to talk in low voices.

“The rice paper issued by the imperial court now has to be poured with money every month, and the workshop is still controlled by the people of the family, and the ninth brother really didn’t brag about the output alone?” Li Xiuning frowned slightly, she felt that Li Yuanfang was too confident.

“Princess Pingyang doesn’t have to worry, the old minister guarantees that the output of paper is real.” Du Ruxian stroked his beard happily.

“Hehe, His Royal Highness King Zhou not only drinks a lot of alcohol, but also has a good brain, and my students of the Great Tang Dynasty are blessed.” Cheng Yanjin laughed and was full of confidence in Li Yuanfang.

Xiao Yao, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Li Yuanfang brought several sizes of paper.

The largest paper is one meter wide and two meters long, and has not been cut at all.

As for the drawing paper currently prepared for storage in the lattice yard, the standard specification is A2 size.

“Can I give it a try, just pick up a pen and write a few words.” Li Xiuning smiled at Li Yuanfang delicately.

“There is pen, ink and paper on the desk, and the third sister is casual.” Li Yuanfang shrugged indifferently.

Li Xiuning immediately picked up a brush and dipped it in ink and began to write.

At the same time, Xiao Yu looked solemnly at the line of printed words.

Zi Yu: Learn and learn, don’t you also say? Have friends from afar, not happy? People don’t know it, don’t they care about it?

“What is it between the lines? Always think there is a university here? ”

“Teacher, what are you muttering?”

Xiao Yu muttered too quietly, and Li Yuanfang on the side couldn’t hear it clearly, so he turned his head and asked seriously.

Who knew that before Xiao Yu could harvest, Li Xiuning’s excited voice came to mind.

“God, white paper is as white as snow, impermeable to ink, good paper!”

When the others saw the word ‘Tianxia’ on the paper, their eyes showed a feverish smile.

Cheng Yanjin suddenly stirred and tangled.

“Your Highness King Zhou, you should have a lot of white paper, can you give all the old Cheng a thousand sheets.”

Li Yuanfang nodded and agreed with a chuckle.

“More than 60,000 sheets of paper were made in half a month of retreat, and any of you can use them if you need them, anyway, the second batch of paper is already being manufactured.”

“The paper made in the grid yard is used to improve research and be used in my own yard, and I have no intention of establishing a paper mill to sell paper.”

Li Shimin looked over with amusement.

“Okay, you know, you don’t have to explain.”

“I heard that the mosquito coils in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion have been selling well recently, and I have made a lot of money, what do you plan to study?”

Li Yuanfang shrugged: “Light! ”

Candles were introduced to China from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, and they were still scarce materials for a long time.

At that time, it was also difficult for the emperor to light candles.

Until the beginning of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, candles began to be popularized, but the level of this popularity was also limited.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that candles became a universal commodity, especially referring to the exclusive belongings of the rich, and ordinary people still could not afford to use them.

The candles were really not opened on a large scale, and that was during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In addition to candles, matches and other convenient items, they are new goods that Li Yuanfang is currently considering putting for sale in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuanfang did not mean to explain further, and naturally did not ask more, anyway, the finished product was made, and he would always know.

“Yuanfang, why should this sentence you print be separated by dots of different forms?” Xiao Yu asked with great interest.

“Back to the teacher, this is called punctuation, punctuation marks are a good thing to assist in sentence breaking, with their help we no longer have to worry about sentence breaking errors, and the officials below misinterpret the imperial court decrees.” Li Yuanfang said happily on the side.

“Huh? Sentence breaking is the basic skill of learning, isn’t it necessary to use punctuation to isolate it? Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, and also came over to stare at those punctuation marks strangely.

Li Yuanfang smiled mysteriously, and Li Xiaogong on the side secretly sighed that someone was going to be unlucky.

Sure enough, within three seconds, Li Yuanfang threw out a sentence that blew up the people of insight present.
