What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Li Zhi also thinks that this matter is not a big deal. Li Yue is not a prince in name. If a prince is a prince, he will not go to the feudal clan at a young age. Therefore, in Li Zhi's way of thinking, it is better to wait until Li Yue gets married to be considered an adult. , It is not too late to leave Beijing.

Li Yue didn't know what the two of them were thinking. He looked at the account book at home, and then thought about his next plan, thinking that he could make a wave of money first.There is no way, because Princess Gaoyang has played the role of dumping books at low prices, so that the profits of both the papermaking workshop and the printing workshop are limited. In this way, the limited profits are invested in expanding production.I also caught a local gangster trying to set fire to the printing workshop before. If I didn't find out in time, I'm afraid I don't know how much damage it will cause.You know, there are too many combustibles in the printing workshop, such as paper, ink, and rosin used to fix the movable type. Once these burn, it will take a lot of effort to put out the fire.These people are naturally instigated by someone secretly, but even if they are tortured and interrogated, it is difficult to be implicated in the real behind-the-scenes instigation. To put it bluntly, these hooligans are too far away from the people behind the scenes.

Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yi'ai are currently torn apart with those aristocratic families. For this reason, Princess Gaoyang went to Li Yue to apologize, saying that the couple will not want any income from toilet paper in the future, and it will all be Li Yue. Yes, besides that, Princess Gao Yang also gave Li Yue a box of pearls as compensation.

These days pearls are treasures, but for Li Yue, that's all.Don't look at later generations, when jewelers tried their best to preach how natural pearls were better than cultured pearls, but just like diamonds and other gemstones, Li Yue always felt that artificial gemstones after industrialization were actually better than natural ones. They are bigger and more pure. Besides, everyone is not a professional jewelry appraiser, who cares whether these are natural or artificial.For the same money, the artificial ones can be bigger than the natural ones, isn't it delicious?The same is true for pearls. Artificially cultured pearls are rounder, larger and more productive.As for pearl luster, pearls will fade and turn yellow after being left for a long time. Otherwise, how can there be a word called old pearl yellow!

Princess Gaoyang’s first title was Princess Hepu, and the specialty there is pearls. Even if Princess Gaoyang changed her title later, pearls are still not too rare for her, but there are not too many high-grade ones. This time, she really couldn't find anything suitable, so she packed up the high-quality Nanzhu and sent it to Li Yue.

If Li Yue was a woman, she could use these pearls to make jewelry. The problem is that Li Yue is not. These pearls are of good quality, and it would be extravagant to make clothes buttons. He is not old enough to use them. When it was time to send out the hairpin, Li Yue thought about it, and simply asked Mrs. Zhu to put it away. If there are any interpersonal matters later, she can add some pearls to the gift list.At least these pearls have to be consumed before the pearl light dims, otherwise they can only be ground into powder.

In any case, the cash in Li Yue's mansion is really not that much, especially as a member of the royal family, all kinds of interpersonal communication is also a problem. All in all, there are really more places to spend money, let alone, Li Yue Yue also feels that the safety of the current palace is a bit unreliable. After all, the beauty of this pure civil structure house does exist, but it is not fireproof.Especially after hearing about the arson case, Li Yue has been thinking about safety issues.People like him, who are used to living in the industrial age, can appreciate the unique beauty of ancient buildings, but are there fewer ancient buildings that have caught fire?The Forbidden City did not know how many times it caught fire!Therefore, it is safer to honestly use reinforced concrete, at least the fire will not spread so quickly when it burns!Besides, even if it is made of reinforced concrete and painted with a layer of paint on the outside, there will be no difference. Otherwise, where did those antique buildings come from in later generations?

Regardless of whether it is to manufacture steel bars or cement, these all cost money. Li Yue was not an expert in this field in his previous life, that is, he only knew the surface, so the initial investment is necessary.The most troublesome thing is that Li Yue doesn't have many craftsmen in his hands. Craftsmen are actually relatively scarce these days. There is no way. The craftsmen on the road also know some superficial craftsmanship, or they were expropriated before.

Li Yue first rejected the option of smelting iron and steel. Iron smelting in the Tang Dynasty was divided into two types: government-run and private-run. Like the eldest grandson's family, a large source of income for the family was iron smelting. Therefore, Li Yue has a small body now. , It's really not suitable to enter this business, he doesn't want to confront the eldest grandson's family for the time being.So, let’s forget about steel bars for now. Cement is actually quite simple. I learned chemistry back then, but the problem of proportioning needs to be solved. In addition, it is best to burn some glass to make windows. Windows these days, summer Pasting window screens and paper in winter will inevitably affect the lighting. Compared with it, glass windows are definitely better.

Li Yue quickly worked out a plan, and then asked people to build a kiln on Zhuangzi. Let them burn bricks and practice their hands first. After he found the corresponding raw materials, he could consider whether to make lime cement, porcelain or glass out.

Li Yue was working hard for her own better life in the future, but over there, the aristocratic family finally died down because Fang Yiai took out a big killer.

Craftsmen these days are not incompetent, but lack motivation. In order to deal with the aristocratic family, Fang Yiai offered a huge reward to the craftsmen below to find ways to continue to reduce the cost of printing books. Then, a craftsman came up with Tao Movable type, compared with copper type that requires a lot of metal, pottery type is much simpler. Of course, there are many disadvantages, such as easy to bump and not wear-resistant, but it is not cheap!Then the ink formula can also be improved. In short, it is cutting corners, and the paper is the same. The paper used before is thicker, but now it is possible to peel off two more layers. The paper is thinner without affecting the printing.Of course, the quality of printing is definitely much worse than before, but it doesn't affect reading, and the cost is less than [-]% of the previous one.

Without further ado, Fang Yiai directly invited a group of ex-husbands and dogs over here, and gave away the pottery movable type technology for free. After all, as long as this thing is explained, it is actually very easy to imitate. The reason why no one entered this business before is nothing more than It is because they don't have so much copper to cast movable type, and they don't have such cheap paper. Now, there are cheaper pottery movable type and very cheap paper supply, so naturally they are all thinking about it.There is always a market for cheap things. If the previous price could only allow children from middle-class landlord families to study, now at this price, some small landlords and even farmers with a little spare money can cultivate a scholar by gnashing their teeth. , this base has undoubtedly more than doubled, this is money!Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang are only involved in the main states and counties, and they don't have the energy to do it any further.And Fang Yiai discussed with this group of cronies, and everyone divided the territory according to the power of each family, and planned to sink the market directly and sell these precious books to the counties and even towns and villages below.Moreover, in addition to selling imperial examination books, you can also sell other things. The people in the countryside don't know a single big character, but it doesn't affect them praying to God and worshiping Buddha. Pious heart.

This is to kill Fang Yiai and his wife, and movable type printing has spread. For the aristocratic family, it seems that there is no way to recover, so they have to temporarily stop.Fortunately, cultivating a scholar is not just about studying. You must have reliable teachers, and you must also have corresponding contacts. Otherwise, with the current imperial examination system, there is a high probability that poor students will not be able to pass the imperial examination after studying.Regardless of whether it is self-consolation or not, the aristocratic family will stop for the time being.On the other hand, Li Zhi began to secretly think about how to adjust the imperial examination system so that those poor students who were obviously capable but had no connections would be turned away.
