Datang Institute of Technology

The undercurrent surged above the court, and those who didn't know it stretched their heads.

They want to see how the Prince's Mansion is so extravagant, how to defend themselves.

No, not self-defense, because Wei Wang jumped out to excuse the prince.

That feeling is simply indescribable.

Li Tai stood up in a dignified manner, and said reluctantly, "Father, if the Crown Prince's Mansion is said to be extravagant, then my Prince Wei's Mansion can't escape the same crime. We also have a lot of this kind of paper in our Prince's Mansion now."

Eerie atmosphere.

Is King Wei surrendering himself?

What about using paper?

Are they crazy at the same time?

The prince became inexplicable, he was punished for extravagance not long ago, but now he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion at all.

The same is true for the king of Wei, who has become very weird and behaved extravagantly?

Scholars all over the world, especially those from poor families who can't afford paper to make a fuss about, shouldn't they scold them every day?

Li Shimin snorted, and looked at Li Tai and Li Chengqian interestingly.

Fang Xiang and Wei Zheng looked at each other. Wei Wang's character is not the kind of personality that admits his mistakes when he does something wrong. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Li Tai continued, "The admonisher bluntly said that going to the Prince's Mansion is extravagant and extravagant, just because paper is expensive, but if paper is no longer expensive, is this still a luxury?"

The hall was silent, thinking that he had heard wrong.

Did King Wei just say that paper is no longer expensive?

Did they hear it right?

But how is this possible?

The papermaking process has always been in the hands of the Luoyang gentry. Because of the complexity of the process and the expensive materials, only a small amount of paper is produced each year, which makes the price of paper remain high.

It can be said that the more scholars there are, the more expensive the paper will be because of the shortage of supply due to the output.

If Xu Jiazi hadn't invented the pencil, and the writing took up less paper, with the current trend of more and more scholars in the Tang Dynasty, the price would have risen long ago.

Nowadays, many scholars use pencils to copy books, and various shops also use pencils to keep accounts, which is convenient to carry without grinding ink, and the paper saved can be imagined.

However, the writing brush has not been left behind, especially the writing brush used in colleges, imperial examinations, and official documents.

Now there is a feeling that the two go hand in hand, and the people of Tang Dynasty have found a balance between the two.

No one thought that a small pencil would bring about such a big change in ten years.

The pencils in Xu's Supermarket are doing very well now.

Li Shimin also frowned, Qing Que meant, the paper they used for that was not expensive?

Even the poorest quality paper issued by the Luoyang gentry is still paper, and the price cannot be so cheap.

He looked at Li Tai, waiting for his explanation.

Li Tai continued, "Everyone, have you been wondering why this king has been going to the Prince's Mansion recently?"

Everyone was taken aback, why did King Wei suddenly change the subject?

However, they are also interested in this topic. This is an unsolved mystery in the court recently. Everyone wants to find out the reason, but the situation in the Prince's Mansion is not so easy to inquire about.

Li Tai continued, "Because these days, this king has been studying paper-making crafts with Xu Jiazi in the Prince's Mansion, and now he has finally made new progress. From now on...paper will become common people. It's also worth it."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai, lied, came to his prince's mansion to eat and drink, why study paper reforming technology together?I just took a fan and fanned it twice.

Li Tai continued, with a high-pitched voice, "From now on, batch after batch of scholars will emerge in our Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of Wenzhi is coming..."

The excited voice seemed to describe the most beautiful era.

Only those who listened were dumbfounded.

Improvement of papermaking process

Not to mention improvement, the papermaking process has always been controlled by the Luoyang gentry, and it has never flowed out. There is no such thing as how to improve the papermaking process?

But Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, etc.'s eyes suddenly became fiery and excited.

If the King of Wei said that he improved some papermaking technology by himself, they would not believe it.

But Wei Wang just added a Xu Jiazi in an understatement.

If Xu Jiazi takes the lead, it is really possible.

Xu Jiazi is so monstrous, how many things have he done that made the impossible possible?

They are all numb.

Li Shimin stood up, "Is this true?"

He is promoting Wenzhi recently. If Tang Wenzhi can develop, what a credit it is, and it will definitely be famous in history.

However, the matter was stumped at the very beginning. He wanted to increase the number of scholars in Datang, but scholars had to use paper, but paper was too expensive, and if they couldn't afford paper, they still read shitty books.

Li Tai was about to answer, but Li Chengqian appeared on the list. How could Li Tai take the credit for what his friend made.

Li Chengqian said, "My son has brought a large number of samples here, please take a look."

At this time, some little father-in-laws came up with boxes of roll paper.

They are arranged in a row on the Golden Temple.

Everyone gathered around, "Is this the improved paper? But it's a bit rough, and the quality is not as good as ours. Maybe it's okay to write with a pencil, but I'm afraid it's okay to use a brush..."

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, and he said, "Everyone, according to my friend, this paper is really cheap, not for writing."

It is indeed cheap. Once the bark is boiled, it will come out casually. There is no complicated process, and two eggs can be bulged out.

"Isn't it used for writing? What is it used for?" someone asked.

After asking, I was suddenly taken aback, could it be for...

The people around were also quiet for a while, and they also thought of it.

His face was very strange.

A little embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject, "I don't know how cheap this paper is?"

They care more about this.

Because in their deep-rooted thinking, paper is expensive, which is exclusive to scholars.

Li Chengqian said, "My friend means that as long as their Xujia Village starts production, they can buy a roll of such paper for ten cents."

There was a sound of throwing the ground, and the whole hall was silent, with disbelief on his face.

Ten pennies?

Did they hear correctly?It's really ten cents, and the huge price gap is really unbelievable.

When did the price of paper and cabbage become the same?

This kind of rough paper is indeed cheap, because the raw materials are cheap, and they are all made from rotten bark that costs nothing. Xujia Village is full of trees.

Xu Changsheng also told the people in Xujia Village that if one tree is cut down, two must be planted, which is the long-term solution.

And there is no craftsmanship, and the cost will be lower if mass production.

Everyone was still in a daze, with ten cents flashing in their minds.

Considering the prices of those papers they treasured at home, it is a world of difference.

But fortunately, the paper they collected still has its advantages, at least the quality is good.

At this time, Li Chengqian continued, "This is just the roughest paper. My good friend is trying to make high-quality paper. According to him, from now on, paper will become the daily necessities of ordinary people in my Tang Dynasty."

Daily necessities for ordinary people?

Everyone shivered.

Of course they know what that means.

I am afraid that the reform of paper is really coming. It is an unprecedented huge change, like a monument, with historical significance.

Everyone: "..."

It seems that the good paper in their home collection is no longer their capital to show off.

Li Shimin asked, "Apart from these rough papers, are there any other samples?"

Although these rough papers are cheap, they are not very convenient for writing.

Well, according to Xu Jiazi, it is not for writing.

Li Chengqian said, "Yesterday, some good paper came out. Although the quality is not the best, it is comparable to the quality of ordinary paper in Luoyang. However, Xu Jiazi went out with those papers early this morning. Erchen has no samples now. .”

Actually produced paper equivalent to the quality of ordinary Luoyang paper.

An official asked, "May I ask Your Highness, what is the price of this plain paper?"

Li Chengqian said, "It is still the price of daily necessities for the common people."

Everyone looked at each other.

People like Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were ecstatic, and the prosperity of the Tang dynasty might be realized in them.

What kind of achievement is this, Great Tang will reach a height that all previous dynasties have not reached, can they not be excited?

Some people still couldn't believe it. After all, the prices were too different, so they kept asking questions.

Li Chengqian also answered one by one, the whole court hall was extremely lively, it hadn't been so lively in many years.

Many old officials sighed, when was the last time it was so lively?

It seems that it was the time when Xu Jiazi and the crown prince required marriage age and three generations of close relatives were not allowed to marry.

More than ten years later, the benefits of this law of the Tang Dynasty have also been revealed. Although the age of marriage has been postponed, the population of the Tang Dynasty has grown rapidly, because the mortality rate of newborns has been well controlled.

It has to be said that Xu Jiazi is very far-sighted.

Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian who was surrounded in a circle, curled his lips, and said what, Xu Jiazi didn't come up with the craft of paper transformation.

Li Tai snorted, and walked over. He is one of the paper craft improvers, so there is no such thing as him.

……

At this time, Xu Changsheng was asking Brother Changbai and Er Dan to go to the Imperial College with a load of newly made paper.

He was going to fool his calligraphy teacher, the great calligrapher Ouyang Xun.

When I came to Guozijian, I stated my identity and wanted to see Mr. Ouyang, a doctor of Guozijian.

Before entering, the entire Guozijian was boiling, and Xu Jiazi came to the Guozijian.

Recently, if you want to say where Xu Changsheng has the most gossip, it is the Imperial College.

Xu Jiazi used to be a student of Guozijian. Although he dropped out of school halfway due to physical reasons, he entered other Guozijian one day, even if he was not a student of other Guozijian.

The Guozijian is now discussing every day, the legend of how Xu Changsheng swept the Guozijian at the age of four, a talent from heaven.

And it was passed on miraculously. If someone said that Xu Jiazi had three heads and eight arms, they would probably believe it.

What is Hongwenguan Chongwenguan, the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty?Can they teach such an awesome student like their Guozijian?

Therefore, the students of Guozijian walk with their eyes higher than the top of their heads recently.

Especially in some poetry fairs, when you meet the students of Hongwen Hall and Chongwen Hall, you don't even take a look at them.

It doesn't matter if you lose at the poetry meeting, but you have to say something arrogant, you are so good, you can compare it with Xu Jiazi, a student of our Guozijian, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, younger than you.

The students of Hongwen Hall and Chongwen Hall were so angry that their faces were red. These Guozijian students were too shameless. Xu Jiazi had dropped out of school, and he kept putting gold on his face.

But it is undeniable that Xu Jiazi studied in the Imperial College.

The students of the Imperial College will also firmly refuse to admit that Xu Jiazi is not a student of the Imperial College, so whoever says it is not them are in a hurry.

Therefore, when Xu Changsheng came to the Imperial College, the entire Imperial College erupted.

Those who came to watch the excitement were in groups.

"Xu Jiazi didn't have three heads and eight arms, so how could he be so powerful?"

"Xu Jiazi is really good-looking. Looking at this handsome demeanor, it looks like he came from our Imperial College."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

He blushed from the discussions around him.

Shy, how powerful is he?Is it really him?

Xu Changsheng blushed and beckoned Brother Changbai and Er Dan to leave quickly.

Brother Changbai and Erdan enjoyed it a lot.

Surrounded all the way.

Ouyang Xun just came out of the dormitory, and his students also just came out.

As soon as I went out, I saw a crowd of students coming.

Can't help but be taken aback, what's the matter?

Ouyang Xun looked at the crowd, and straightened his waist. Hearing that Xu Jiazi ran to find the old man Yan Wenshu, he made a thank you teacher, but he was so envious of him. He thought, he also taught Xu Jiazi seriously before, Although I was so angry with Xu Jiazi's chicken feet every day that I could vomit a few pots of blood.

Now that old man Yan Wenshu is very popular, as a scholar, wouldn't he gain a reputation and face, thinking, why didn't the Xu family give him something to thank his teacher?

Especially when I haven't seen Xu Jiazi come to see him for several days, I feel blocked, the calligraphy teacher is also a teacher, isn't he?

From time to time, he would tell his students interesting stories about Xu Jiazi's time in the Imperial College, and his students have taken a lot of seriousness in class recently.

But when Xu Jiazi didn't come to see him, his students began to be confused again. Some students even asked directly, Mr. Ouyang, are you really Xu Jiazi's calligrapher?But the Xu family has been in Chang'an for so long, and they have all gone to see Mr. Yan Wenshu, why didn't they come to see you

But Ouyang Xun's face turned red.

Unexpectedly, he left the dormitory in shame and anger, and the Xu family came outside.

Can he stand upright.

Xu Changsheng looked at Ouyang Xun and was taken aback for a moment. Why is Dr. Ouyang so straight?The Mr. Ouyang he knew before was slovenly and disrespectful, he was simply old and not ashamed, which was a bit different from his current image.

However, more than ten years have passed, maybe Dr. Ouyang will change his sex at some time.

Xu Changsheng hurried forward, "Student Xu Changsheng, meet the teacher."

Wow, the students behind Ouyang Xun looked excited. It turned out that Dr. Ouyang didn't tell lies, he was really Xu Jiazi's calligraphy teacher, so what Dr. Ouyang usually brags about was also true?

Dr. Ouyang is good at everything, and his calligraphy is superb, especially regular script, which is invincible, but he usually likes to brag.

Ouyang Xun hummed nonchalantly, then looked back at some of his current students, and said, "This is your former classmate, Xu Changsheng, son of the Xu family."

The faces of those classmates became excited, and they quickly saluted as a scholar, "Xu's family is polite."

In this way, they are still classmates with Xu Jiazi, although they are from the past.

Ouyang Xun said to Xu Changsheng again, "These are my current students, Xu Jiazi should also come over and see."

Xu Changsheng was a little puzzled, weird, weird, why is Dr. Ouyang not like the Dr. Ouyang he knew.

He stepped forward and performed a standard scholar's salute, "Everyone is polite."

Gentle and gentle, with outstanding temperament, he is completely a model of code of conduct.

A group of people were envious. I heard that the students taught by Yan Wenshu all had such a unique taste. Unfortunately, they had no relationship with Dr. Yan, and even complained a little. Why didn't Dr. Yan teach them etiquette?

If Xu Changsheng knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say, masochist, shaking M.

The other students were very envious, and Dr. Ouyang's student and Xu Jiazi greeted each other as classmates.

Don't underestimate this point, this is actually a confirmation of a relationship. In ancient times, students brought out by the same teacher had a much better relationship than others.

For example, if these students report that they are Teacher Ouyang's students and go to the Prince's Mansion to meet Xu Jiazi, Xu Jiazi will not be able to shirk due to etiquette.

After a greeting.

Ouyang Xun's teacher Fan Er said a few words, "Xu Jiazi, have you been slack in your calligraphy these years?"

The corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched a few times. Could Mr. Ouyang not be clear about his calligraphy?In the past, when I saw his writing in every class, my face was as black as a pig's liver.

Xu Changsheng said with a guilty conscience, "I have made great progress, I dare not forget the teacher's teachings, and dare not slack off."

Afraid that Dr. Ouyang would ask him to write a few words on the spot, he hurriedly changed the topic, "Teacher, the students are studying the paper improvement process recently, and they produced the first batch of paper that can be written on, and sent it to the husband."

The new paper will be available soon, and this matter must not be covered up, and there is no need to hide it.

Ouyang Xun was stunned, researching paper improvement technology?

Thinking about the outrageous things that Xu Jiazi did in the past, it is impossible to say that this is really possible.

Also made the first batch and sent it to him?

This heart is sincere, look, the students around are showing admiration.

Xu Jiazi really respected his teacher, with Yan Manjusri in front, and now he gave the paper he made to his calligraphy teacher as soon as possible.

Ouyang Xun was also very happy.

What a good student of his.

In a hurry, he went up to look at the two loads of paper he was carrying.

The quantity is a bit too much, these two burdens alone are enough for him to use for many years, not bad, not bad, it was made by his students himself, he can accept this gift, and maybe it will become a good story.

Xu Changsheng continued, "Students are still researching, and now they have produced two kinds of paper patterns of different quality, and the other quality is rough, so we don't need to embarrass them in front of the teacher."

Ouyang Xun said with emotion, "It's okay, the quality of the paper I used before may not be so good."

Paper is expensive, even when he was studying, he couldn't buy all the paper.

Xu Changsheng continued, "When the students develop better patterns, they must be sent to the teacher for a try."

Ouyang Xun nodded, "It's so good, but I don't need to bring so many in the future, just show me a few sheets, paper is expensive, and now these are quite expensive, the old man accepted your gift, but I don't know how much to buy. How many people have been criticized."

Xu Changsheng smiled, "Where is the teacher, the student will be criticized for giving the teacher some paper. Moreover, the teacher may dislike the student's courtesy in two days."

Ouyang Xun was taken aback, and so were the other students.

What Xu Jiazi said was wrong.

Students giving gifts to teachers is an expression of respecting the teacher, but if the gift is too expensive, it is not respecting the teacher, and it will change the taste.

Xu Jiazi's two loads of paper, if he hadn't made them himself, Ouyang Xun wouldn't have accepted them, it's beyond the scope of etiquette.

Xu Changsheng smiled, and did not explain for the time being, but said, "Teacher, how about we make a bet?"

Everyone around is dumbfounded, so what's going on?Is this thinking jumping a little fast, they have no time to adapt.

The corner of Ouyang Xun's mouth twitched, Xu Jiazi was really able to do such a far-fetched thing.

The corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth turned up, revealing a fox-like smile. His hole had already been dug, and it depended on whether Mr. Ouyang jumped or not. However, in his opinion, Mr. Ouyang had to jump into this hole, because he blocked it to death. All retreats.

It is almost impossible for Xu Changsheng to want Ouyang Xun to leave the Imperial Academy to teach in his academy.

Guozijian is the top school in the Tang Dynasty. It directly trains officials for the imperial court. The doctors here are not comparable to ordinary colleges in terms of reputation and salary, let alone Xu Changsheng's college. Far away from Chang'an, in a barren hill, it was indeed a barren hill before.

It's like you let the doctor of Tsinghua University and Peking University suddenly resign from the teaching position of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and follow him to teach in an unknown remote college.

Although Ouyang Xun was Xu Changsheng's calligraphy teacher, he would not agree to such a request. He also had his own life.

Therefore, Xu Changsheng thought in his heart that if he took the normal way, he might not be able to invite Dr. Ouyang, so he had to play a little trick.

His college is good. Mr. Ouyang will definitely not regret it if he goes there, but now others don't know if it is.

Maybe other Guozijian doctors, no matter what he said, it is impossible for him to go to a college full of unknowns.

But Ouyang Xun has a very free and easy personality, commonly known as old and not ashamed, as long as he digs the hole well, he might really be fooled by him.

Ouyang Xun heard that Xu Changsheng actually wanted to bet with him. This was the first time he had gotten along with a student like this, but he knew very well whether the student respected the teacher enough, and he didn't feel that this was not respecting him enough. , although it does sound a bit weird.

With Ouyang Xun's character, he really became interested, "What bet?"

The surrounding students also became interested and listened with pricked ears.

The way Xu Jiazi and Dr. Ouyang get along is really strange, but it seems that this relationship seems to be better than that of ordinary teachers and students, as if the etiquette is no longer superficial.

The relationship between Xu Changsheng and Dr. Ouyang is indeed good. In the past, Xu Jiazi liked to see how Dr. Ouyang instantly changed into a pig's face when he read his words.

Xu Changsheng cupped his hands and bowed deeply, "Teacher, let's talk about the bet first."

Ouyang Xun: "..."

Everyone: "..."

It's really eye-opening, Xu Jiazi turned out to be such Xu Jiazi.

Xu Changsheng said, "If the student loses, the student will let the teacher deal with it, but if the student wins by chance, the teacher will be invited to come to my college to teach calligraphy."

It was quiet.

Ouyang Xun was also taken aback, Xu Jiazi actually came to invite him to teach in his academy?

Now the whole Chang'an is full of rumors, Yan Wenshu has been invited by Xu Jiazi to teach etiquette in his college.

Everyone is still guessing who Xu Jiazi will invite to teach other subjects.

Unexpectedly, as a subject of calligraphy, he actually found him.

This is actually a very face-saving thing, which shows that in Xu Jiazi's heart, his teacher is very amazing, otherwise why would he come to him to teach.

Ouyang Xun's face was full of joy. Regardless of whether he won or lost, the story between him and his students would probably be recorded and spread widely. He said with a smile, "This old man accepts your bet."

I was also curious in my heart, logically Xu Jiazi is so smart, you should know how difficult it is for him to resign as a doctor of Guozijian to teach in other colleges.

Xu Jiazi actually wanted to convince him with a gamble, what kind of gamble would it be?

The other students were also curious.

Obviously, ordinary gambling games can't convince Dr. Ouyang at all, and it's impossible for Xu Jiazi to play tricks on his teacher in public.

Therefore, the Xu family's gamble must be open and aboveboard, must be extremely convincing, and must convince everyone.

The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth rose undetectably, he jumped into the pit, and now he couldn't escape.

Xu Changsheng saluted again, and said word by word, "Teacher, the student's gamble is that the student can increase the number of scholars in Datang by [-]% within a year. Does the teacher think the student's gamble is fair?"

Ouyang Xun was stunned, to increase the number of scholars in Datang by [-]% within a year?Xu Jiazi was probably talking in his sleep.

Guozijian doctors like them are very familiar with government affairs. After many Guozijian doctors retire, they will basically hold high-level official positions in the court.

He knew that His Majesty was going to promote culture and education, but he was stumped before the beginning.

It is conceivable that even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, and there was no voice of opposition. The policy they wanted to implement was so difficult. Xu Jiazi actually said that the number of scholars in the Tang Dynasty would increase by [-]% within a year?This is not talking about what is in your sleep.

The students around had the same idea, but they were all still studying, and it was shocking enough that Xu Jiazi, who was about the same age as them, had such a great idea.

Ouyang Xun said, "Changsheng, if you want to beat the old man in this round, it will be very difficult."

Then, among the many students, an old man happened to walk over, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This old man is the Guozijian Jijiu, Kong Yingda Kong Jijiu who just came back from court.

He heard that Xu Jiazi had actually come to the Imperial College, so he stopped by to have a look.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiazi actually came to Guozijian to poach a corner, but he thought that although Xu Jiazi's college had some reputation, it was still impossible for Dr. Guozijian to leave and teach in his college.

But when Xu Jiazi’s gambling game came out, Kong Yingda’s heart shrank. Combined with what the prince and Wei Wang said in the court today, the paper will soon become the daily necessities of ordinary people, and the culture and education of the Tang Dynasty will be booming. By then, the number of scholars in the Tang Dynasty will increase by more than [-]% .

Kong Yingda was beaten a little dizzy by Xu Jiazi's shameless bet, and before he had time to remind him, Ouyang Xun actually agreed to the bet.

Isn't this digging a 100% winning pit for others to jump into?

Kong Yingda's face can't be dark, and he cheated one of his doctors in front of him.

At this moment, the students also noticed Kong Yingda coming and stepped aside.

It's just why Kong Jijiu's face is so dark?

Kong Yingda stepped forward and gave Xu Changsheng a hard look.

Xu Changsheng was so embarrassed that he was caught digging someone's corner.

Moreover, Kong Jijiu must have just returned from court, which means that he already knows that paper is about to become popular all over the world.

The prince told him that today he will report on the improvement of the paper craft.

Xu Changsheng bowed in embarrassment, "Students pay respects to Kong Jijiu."

Kong Yingda snorted coldly, and made trouble for him as soon as he came back. Sure enough, he was not a peaceful master like before.

Ouyang Xun was smiling and telling Kong Yingda an interesting story about their blockage, but Kong Yingda's face became even darker, and he glanced at Ouyang Xun who was very happy after being tricked.

If it was an ordinary gamble, he could still say a few words and let it go, but what they blocked was to make Datang scholars get [-]% more.

Ouyang Xun might not even want to admit defeat to such a thing that shocked the world and benefited all people.

The Xu family is very scheming, he simply blocked all the escape routes, even he, the Guozijian Jijiu, could not stop this gamble, it will spread all over the world, no one dares to refuse this gamble, and no one dares to be a villain Characters come out to dissuade.

Xu Changsheng lowered his head a little bit, so embarrassed, the schemer was caught.

Kong Yingda sighed, glanced at Ouyang Xun, and said, "Xinben, pack up your things and leave the Imperial College tomorrow to go to Xujiazi's academy."

Ouyang Xun, word Xinben.

All sounds stopped.

Ouyang Xun was also taken aback, what does Kong Jijiu mean?

Xu Changsheng was so ashamed that he wanted to hide his face and run away.

Kong Yingda glared at Xu Changsheng, and continued, "Hey, you...you were tricked by your student, and he won the bet."

Needle drop is audible.

Xu Jiazi won?

How can this be?

Their gamble is to increase the number of scholars in Datang by [-]% within a year.

How could Xu Jiazi win?

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Xu Jiazi has the possibility of winning, it will take a year to see the result, right?

Ouyang Xun thought similarly, and looked at Xu Changsheng with a frown.

Xu Changsheng was in a dilemma. How could he not die? Kong Jijiu just came, so he had to salute Ouyang Xun, "It's the student who overstepped. The student is suspected of playing tricks, but the student has indeed won the bet."

Ouyang Xun: "..."

He looked at Kong Yingda again, guessing there was something he didn't know.

Kong Yingda pointed to the two loads of paper on the ground, "Xu Jiazi has improved a new paper-making process. From now on, even ordinary people can easily use paper, and its price will become the price of cabbage. In addition, His Majesty intends to vigorously promote culture and education. Within a year, the number of scholars in Datang will increase by [-]%, which is almost a certainty."

The first year is definitely the one with the fastest increase in the number of scholars. He doesn't know if it will increase by [-]% every year in the future, but it must be a full [-]% in the first year.

A piece of silence, from now on, the original expensive paper will become the price of cabbage?

Scholars spend the most on paper. If paper becomes the price of cabbage, wouldn’t it be possible for a large number of new scholars to emerge in a short period of time.

This is the gospel of scholars all over the world, especially those from poor families.

Children from poor families accounted for the largest population in the Tang Dynasty, so there was [-]% more scholars in the first year, no problem at all.

So...Xu Jiazi won, and won without any suspense.

He is obviously digging a hole for Dr. Ouyang to jump, it is obviously a 100% winning bet.

Everyone: "..."

Ouyang Xun: "..."

Xu Changsheng was so embarrassed that the diorama was exposed on the spot.

He gritted his teeth and raised his head, "Teacher, the students have already arranged a place for the teacher. The teacher should pack up and go on the road. It's not far from Chang'an, less than half a day's journey away. I believe that my grandfather and Mr. Yan will be very happy to see the teacher." .”

Ouyang Xun: "..."

He is not particularly happy now, he has no way out.

It's fine if it's a small fight, but their gamble is that the scholars of Datang will increase by [-]%. With such a gamble, how can he refute it in front of the scholars all over the world?

Glancing at Xu Changsheng, he sighed, "If your academy dissatisfies me, I won't care about the relationship between teachers and students. Let's see how I deal with you."

Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Teacher, don't worry, other students can't guarantee it, but the student's academy still dares to guarantee that the teacher will be satisfied. If not, the teacher can leave at any time."

Ouyang asked in his heart, leave anytime?Shit, even if it's a ravine, he's bound by this gambling game and has to stay there.

Xu Changsheng patted his chest and abdomen for some reassurance, and then ran away as if fleeing for his life.

……

A gamble, cheated a doctor.

The topic of late is nothing more than this.

A historian wrote and recorded it in the unofficial history with a smile. For Datang, it is also a highlight, because it happened at the juncture of the paper revolution, and it was also the event that happened to the parties involved in this revolution.

The story is also widely spread among the people and is quite legendary.

Ouyang Xun got angry, but the fire made him sigh a little, Xu Jiazi really... It is wrong to say that his cleverness is not used on the right path, the contribution made by others to Tang culture and education is obvious to all, and it is said that he used Let's go on the right path, he actually cheated even the teacher.

However, Xu's academy is not too far from Chang'an, and going back and forth to Chang'an is not too troublesome.

Ouyang Xun went to Xu Changsheng's college with the idea of ​​suffering, so he packed some simple luggage by himself, and his family stayed in Chang'an.

It's just that when he arrived at Xujia Village and was taken to the college by his great grandfather and Yan Wenshu who were drinking tea and chatting, he returned to Chang'an overnight to pick up his family members to the college.

He felt that his life was about to start a legendary story.

To be able to teach in such an academy, I have to envy my colleagues from the original Guozijian.

Let alone teaching, he is willing to let him stay in the academy for the rest of his life.

This is not a college, it is simply a fairy palace on earth.

Now if he is asked to live in the palace, he will not go, he will live in the academy.

In the following time, Xu Changsheng went to the Imperial College several times, and visited several other Imperial College doctors who taught him.

Now that he has revealed his secrets, it is not easy to fool people, so none of them succeeded.

Of course, Xu Changsheng did not admit that he was not good at fooling around, but shifted the responsibility to Kong Yingda and Kong Jijiu.

Because every time he came to Guozijian, Kong Ying Da Kong Jijiu followed him like a thief, and his small eyes kept staring at those doctors, who would dare to agree?

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, this little old man must have ordered the gatekeeper at the gate of the Imperial College to notify him as soon as he came to the Imperial College, otherwise it would be impossible every time it was so perfect, he hadn't even talked to the doctors, and old man Kong came running up.

Xu Changsheng saw that he couldn't get any benefits in the Imperial College, so he had to leave with a sigh.

Although Mr. Pei has a great reputation, Mr. Pei should not be able to refuse this condition he proposed.

So Xu Changsheng returned to the Prince's Mansion, brought some gifts and went out again.

As soon as Xu Changsheng went out, people on the street noticed him.

The enthusiastic person looked at Xu Jiazi's gift and asked from a distance, "Xu Jiazi is going to cheat again... No, are you going to invite someone to your academy?"

Xu Changsheng's face turned dark, what is a pit?

He is a sincere invitation.

After answering a few words casually, he continued to move forward, walked for a while, and stopped in front of a mansion.

Pei Xingjian's family sold their ancestral property and spent all their savings to buy such a small yard, which is not bad for them to live in.

"Is this the home of Pei Xingjian, the assistant coach of the four schools?" said the spectators.

"Could it be that after Xu Jiazi got rid of the attention of his teachers, now he doesn't let go of his classmates? I heard that Guozi
