Seeing the emperor's smile appearing on his face, Duan Lun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The small print of the eyebrows was taken out from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wannian County just went to the Ministry of Works to ask the craftsmen to help make such a small thing."
"I feel that this thing is very strange and may change the printing technique of our Tang Dynasty, so I immediately took it to view it with Your Majesty."
"Printing technique!" Li Shimin's eyes immediately narrowed.
He thought of what Zhao Chen said to him yesterday and looked at the things in Duan Lun's hand.
The eunuch next to him walked quickly and delivered the small ink characters to Li Shimin.
Looking at the exquisite Yangwen ink paste in front of him, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
"Your Majesty, this thing can be made of ink..."
"I know, Zhao Chen told me before." Li Shimin interrupted Duan Lun's words.
Dip the ink ink ink and place it on the table.
Pick up a piece of rice paper in your hand and carefully press it on it.
Duan Lun stood below, and saw that the emperor was so skillful in his movements, he felt even more confident. Today, Zhao Chen came to the Ministry of Works and was instructed by the emperor.
"Okay, very good, this kid Zhao Chen has never lie to me!" Li Shimin looked at the clear words on the rice paper, and his face showed ecstasy.
Seeing the words on rice paper, Li Shimin had already confirmed Zhao Chen's words yesterday.
Movable type printing technology appears in front of you.
The eunuch beside him couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the emperor so excited.
But he only saw a small word appearing on the rice paper.
"Duan Qing, how many small characters can these inks be produced in a day?" Li Shimin looked at Duan Lun and asked.
In fact, Li Shimin is more curious now how the papermaking technique Zhao Chen mentioned should be implemented.
After all, those cheap papers are the final things.
Once it can be really done, those poor people will have the opportunity to learn.
For Li Shimin, this has increased the possibility of talent selection!
However, although printing technology is not that important, it is definitely a technological innovation for the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Shimin even believed that Zhao Chen could use the rotten hemp and straw to make paper.
"Where has Zhao Chen been going now?" Before Duan Lun could speak, Li Shimin asked again.
"After the Marquis of Wannian County promised to give each of the fifty craftsmen ten jin of silver, he left the Ministry of Works. He thought he had gone back to the tavern!" Duan Lun said.
Duan Lun was surprised by Li Shimin's excitement.
Movable type printing can indeed save a lot of time and consume very little printing materials.
But after all, this effect is limited.
Because the previous printing technology can already meet their requirements.
And those ordinary people will not use printing technology at all.
So Duan Lun felt that there was no need for the emperor to be so excited.
"That kid is generous in his actions. No wonder others believe him so much." Li Shimin nodded and waved to Duan Lun: "I have given him those silver and money. I will give him two sets of these ink-paper-small characters."
"In addition, the ban is issued. What happened to the Ministry of Works today, the firing of small ink characters in the ink must not be spread, otherwise I will implicate everyone, including you Duan Lun."
"I understand!" Duan Lun was stunned.
I came here to report the message carefully, but who knew that I would be ordered by the emperor like this.
However, he did not dare to argue with the emperor, and immediately said yes.
"Since Keming left, the right servant's position has been empty. Duan Qing, I think you have good abilities." Li Shimin suddenly looked at Duan Lun and smiled.
Duan Lun's heart burst out and then he was overjoyed.
The emperor was no longer a vague comment on him, but he was almost saying that he would be promoted to the right servant.
"I am afraid, I will do my best to be loyal to Your Majesty forever." Duan Lun knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty to the emperor.
"Well, I remember what you said, go down!" Li Shimin nodded and looked at the small words on the rice paper in front of him.
...
"Zhao Chen, you are back!"
"We have done everything you told me. Now everyone is transporting the rotten wood, straw, rotten hemp and other things to our secret base."
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang appeared on the corner of the street, and Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu ran over.
Telling about their affairs with Zhao Chen.
The expressions were still full of curiosity.
"Okay, something has been done. After lunch, we will go to make paper." Zhao Chen nodded and walked into the tavern.
"papermaking?"
"Zhao Chen, what did you say just now, what papermaking?"
"Sister-in-law, did I hear it wrong just now?"
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu didn't react for a while.
Zhao Chen wants to make paper?
They didn't know that what Zhao Chen asked them to do was to make paper!
papermaking?
That is the way to make money that only those famous families can master.
Even if their father is a Duke, he cannot get involved in these things.
Zhao Chen actually wanted to make paper.
How do he build it?
Li Ruoshuang didn't know that Zhao Chen actually wanted to make paper by himself.
Zhao Chen did not take the initiative to tell her about this along the way.
"We just went to the Ministry of Works. Zhao Chen had a new printing technology. If he could make paper, the dilemma of Wangyou Bookstore would be solved." Li Ruoshuang said just this and entered the tavern.
Only Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, who were confused, were left.
"Zhao Chen wants to make paper, but also do printing?" Cheng Chumo looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked.
"Well, I'm all stupid." Qin Huaiyu nodded and looked at Zhao Chen in the tavern, his eyes full of shock.
He had just heard Li Ruoshuang say that Zhao Chen had already done the printing technique.
The printing technique was only one morning before Zhao Chen got it done.
How did he do this?
...
"Why is Your Majesty here?" In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was drawing Zhao Chen's words.
Empress Changsun likes Zhao Chen's calligraphy the more she read it.
I even feel that Zhao Chen's calligraphy is no less than that of the saint of calligraphy.
So when she has time, she will draw it.
Empress Changsun was a little surprised to see the emperor coming to her at this time.
After all, at this time in the past, the emperors handled government affairs in Ganquan Hall.
"Just just now, Duan Lun came over to tell me that Zhao Chen went to the Ministry of Works and asked for help from craftsmen!" Li Shimin said.
"What are you doing? Although the craftsman of the Ministry of Works is good, he is far inferior to Zhao Chen himself." Empress Changsun smiled.
Zhao Chen’s hands-on ability is obvious to all. What is worth Zhao Chen’s personal visit to the Ministry of Works?
"Do you still remember the printing technique that Zhao Chen and you and me mentioned?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Remember, Zhao Chen said, that's called movable type printing technology, which can change the position of the characters at will. It sounds really good, but if you want to do it, you may..."
"Look at what this is!" Li Shimin opened his palm and showed the small ink words in his hand with Empress Changsun.
When Empress Changsun looked at her, she saw an ink as small as a thumb lying in the center of the emperor's slap.
