Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Li Ke has a plan for the next step about coal in his heart.

Coal is not only used by the Ministry of Industry to make steel, but also has great uses in daily life.

His next plan is to deeply explore the role of coal in daily life.

Five days passed in a flash.

"Your Highness, the thousand copies of "The Analects of Confucius" have all been printed!"

At this time, the little supervisor in charge of book printing ran over quickly and told him the news with excitement.

Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried to the printing workshop in the backyard with great anticipation in his heart.

At this time, the printed copies of "The Analects of Confucius" were stacked neatly by the wall.

Li Ke picked up a copy casually, opened it and read it.

He could still smell the strong smell of ink. He touched it a few times with his hand and found that his fingers were clean and there was no ink mark.

Then he looked at the font carefully, and every font was printed very clearly.

And because the wear resistance of the lead type is very good, the thickness of each character is exactly the same, and there is no difference at all.

For a book, clear fonts and durable paper are completely sufficient.

And the "Analects" in Li Ke's hands undoubtedly far exceeded these two standards.

He then randomly flipped through a few more books, each of which gave him exactly the same senses.

It feels like flipping through the same book.

Don't think this is nonsense.

In fact, in ancient times, even if it was a book printed on the same block, there were still some subtle differences.

But the books printed by his workshop are exactly the same as the modern printed books.

"Continue printing!"

Li Ke explained to the craftsmen.

Anyway, "The Analects of Confucius" is a must-read for scholars in this era.

Just like a modern language document.

So no matter how many copies are printed, I am not afraid that no one will ask for it.

"Yes!"

The craftsmen responded energetically.

Books used to be exclusive to scholars and were very precious things.

As craftsmen, they are not qualified to study.

But now, they are the ones who print the books!

It gives them a sense of wonder.

Moreover, once the number of books increases, their descendants may not be unable to read!

Thinking of this, their enthusiasm for work is naturally extremely high!

Li Ke took 10 copies of "The Analects of Confucius" and 10 sheets of paper at random, and entered the palace in a carriage.

In the past few days, Chang'an City has been raining for a while, and the road has become muddy.

It was quite difficult for the carriage to walk on the muddy road.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Ke felt that the wheels of the carriage were slipping, as if he was on a boat.

At this time, in the Manna Hall.

Li Shimin is discussing matters with the ministers.

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu seeks an audience."

At this time, a young eunuch reported to Li Shimin.

Originally, Li Shimin had already explained not to disturb during the discussion.

But Li Shimin also explained at the same time that if Wu Wang Li Ke asks to see him, he can interrupt him.

That's right, our old Li is such a double standard.

"Let him in."

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.

Afterwards, Li Ke walked in carrying a cloth bag.

"My son attends the royal father!"

Li Ke first greeted Li Shimin.

"What is the purpose of coming to Ganlu Hall? 5.8"

Li Shimin saw that he was carrying a cloth bag, but he didn't know what was in it.

"What you explained a few days ago, Erchen made it out."

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin and smiled slightly.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately: "Is that what you have in your hand? Take it out and have a look!"

He also didn't care about the ongoing discussion. Compared with what Li Ke said, what was being discussed now was nothing worth mentioning!

Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Ke's father and son were talking secretly, the ministers in Ganlu Palace couldn't help but look puzzled and bewildered.

Are they speaking official language?

Why can't we understand!

Changsun Wuji, who was sitting in the first place on Li Shimin's left, saw this scene, and his face suddenly sank.

Although he couldn't understand the encrypted call between the father and son, but looking at Li Shimin's expression, it was obvious that Li Ke had come up with something good again!

This is obviously not good news for him and Li Chengqian!

Li Ke took out 10 copies of "The Analects of Confucius" and 10 sheets of snow-white paper from the bag without haste.

When he took out the paper, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Ganlu Palace!

"Is this paper in your hand?"

After Li Shimin saw the snow-white paper, he couldn't help but exclaimed!

PS: The first update! .

Chapter 109: The Minister of Rites has arrived!Cement roads!

Li Shimin was shocked when he saw the snow-white paper!

Li Ke did say that he would improve the papermaking technique, and the paper produced would be of low cost and high quality.

And the look and feel of the paper will be better than the original paper.

But he thought, the look and feel of the paper is better, and it should be similar to the current paper, and the gap will not be too big.

But when Li Ke took out the snow-white paper from the unpretentious cloth bag, Li Shimin was dumbfounded!

You call this observation better?

What the hell, one kind of paper is dark yellow, and the other kind of paper is snow white!

These are two different things, right?

"Yes, this is the paper made by Erchen."

"Not only is the cost low, but the quality is also good, and the appearance is also very good."

Li Ke handed a piece of paper to the little eunuch, and the little eunuch immediately handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the snow-white paper, touched it carefully, and found that it was a little thicker than ordinary paper.

Seeing Li Shimin's cautious look, Li Ke couldn't help shaking his head.

"Father, this paper is very resilient and will not be easily damaged."

While introducing, Li Ke picked up a piece of paper, folded and kneaded it casually in his hand.

A piece of paper was crumpled into a ball, and then the ball was spread out again to become a piece of paper again.

Except for the wrinkled prints on it, the paper is not damaged in any way.

As long as it is clipped in a book, or pressed with a heavy object for a period of time, it can be used again.

"The quality is so good!"

Seeing Li Ke's behavior, Li Shimin couldn't help being slightly surprised.

Immediately, he followed suit, folding and crumpling the paper with his hands.

He even used a little force, pulling the paper slightly from both sides.

But even so, this piece of paper is still intact!

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin basically understood the quality of this paper, it is definitely the best paper so far!

Not only the quality is good, but also a piece of snow white, the appearance is very good.

The black pen and ink is written on pure white paper, and the display effect of the handwriting is absolutely very good!

At this time, other ministers in the Ganlu Hall also saw what Li Shimin had done just now.

When everyone saw that the paper was destroyed in such a way, the paper was intact, and it was extremely shocking!

Especially seeing the snow-white paper color, no flaws can be seen, it is simply perfect paper!

Immediately, everyone looked at Li Ke in unison.

Obviously, the paper as white as snow must have been made by Li Ke!

"What is the cost of this paper? What is the yield?"

Li Shimin put down the paper and looked at Li Ke with burning eyes.

"Cost? Very low, very low, much lower than the cost of paper that everyone uses now, and the more paper produced, the lower the cost!"

"As for the output? As much as you want."

Li Ke thought for a while, and then gave a vague answer.

Because he is currently unable to give a clear cost.

Once industrialized production, after the output increases, the cost will be reduced.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed immediately!

The paper produced by Li Ke is of good quality and looks great.

Moreover, the output is large and the cost is low.

This means that scholars in Datang will be able to use better and cheaper paper in the future!

This can greatly promote the cultural development of Datang!

All the ministers were also very happy and excited after listening.

The current paper quality is not good, and the cost is still high.

Even if they are important ministers, they are very economical in paper usage.

But once the paper made by Li Ke is on the market, it can be used casually!

Not only easy to use, but also comfortable to use!

Don't worry about writing unclearly with pen and ink on it, and don't worry that the paper will be damaged every now and then.

Even Changsun Wuji was conflicted at this moment.

Leaving prejudice aside, he also felt that the paper Li Ke produced had great significance and far-reaching influence on Datang.
