"A half a pound of cotton wool."

"More than 10,000 cotton plants are more than 5,000 kilograms."

Pei Shaoqing said that this little cotton is really useless.

It only has more than a thousand cotton coats or more than five hundred quilts.

But if you want to sell cotton cloth, this little cotton is far from enough.

However, by the beginning of next year, more than 10,000 farmers in Princess Taiping's entire fiefdom will plant cotton, and then they can spin cotton cloth to make cotton coats and sell them.

Pei Shaoqing said again: "Old cow, when the cotton wool floats, you will take people to collect it, peel out the cotton seeds, and collect them separately. I have great use for both the cotton wool and the cotton seeds."

"Here, I've recorded it."

The old bull responded with a polite hand.

...

It was already dusk when I returned to Chang'an.

When I walked outside the Suzaku Gate, I happened to meet the four people of Su Weidao from Xiazhi.

Pei Shaoqing's auspicious poem collection presented by Wenqu Xingjun was finally printed and has been published nationwide.

Wu Zetian rewarded her with merits, but Pei Shaoqing's title has not changed much, and she is still a founding county.

However, Su Weidao, Du Shenyan, Li Jiao, Cui Rong and others have been promoted to the Secretary-General for their success in proofreading Xiangrui poetry collections.

Secretary and Zuorang are from the sixth rank.

However, the Bookman rose from the fifth grade to the fourth level.

Drink water and remember the source. Su Wei and the other four are of course grateful to Pei Shaoqing.

Now that I finally met Pei Shaoqing, I said, "Brother Pei, where are you going?"

"So it's Brother Su, Brother Du, Brother Cui and Brother Li." Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "Is this a straightforward?"

"What are you going to do? We are looking for you everywhere." Du Shenyan said like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "I just went to the guard to hunt for you and said you were not here, but fortunately I met you."

"Is this something wrong?"

Pei Shaoqing asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I just want you to drink."

Cui Rong said: "I want to drink the four grains of your Shenxianju."

"That's it." Li Jiao also smiled, "After drinking Siliangye, drinking other wines will be scented."

"Let's go, go quickly." Du Shenyan was really a straightforward person, and he didn't look like a fifth-rank official. He came up and grabbed Pei Shaoqing's reins and led him to Pingkangfang.

"I have to allow me to go back to the guard and capture the officer first?"

Pei Shaoqing begged and said, "There is still something that has not been explained."

"Then you come quickly." Du Shenyan said, "We'll be waiting for you in Courtyard No. 1."

"Since, the four brothers will go first, and I will arrive later." Pei Shaoqing said with his hands crossed.

After sending Su Weidao and other four people away, Pei Shaoqing went straight back to the guard and captured the siege. He happened to meet Yang Qi getting angry. Dozens of apprentices were scolded by him so that they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Old Yang, what's wrong?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "So angry?"

"Si Cheng, Xiao Lao disappoints you."

Yang Qi said with a dark face: "What happened to Mu movable type."

"What happened to Mu movable type?" Pei Shaoqing was a little surprised, "It broke so quickly?"

Wooden movable type is easy to deform, Pei Shaoqing knew about this, but he didn't expect it to deform so quickly.

"It's broken? It's not broken." Yang Qi said, "But the news has been leaked. Someone knows how we printed the Xiangrui poetry collection."

"What?" Pei Shaoqing's face collapsed instantly.

This matter is even worse, and it is even worse than the bad wooden movable type.

He was very careful, but he still couldn't defend himself against the thief.

Yang Qi said: "I accompanied my husband to the Xuanfu Temple to pray for blessings yesterday. I found that the monks from the Kufu Temple were also carving wooden boards and preparing to use them to print Buddhist scriptures."

"Jianfu Temple?"

Pei Shaoqing was stunned again.

It wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

However, from a time perspective, woodblock printing almost appeared at this time, and the original invented woodblock printing was the monks in the temple and the Buddhist scriptures were printed.

Yang Liu said again: "But don't worry, Si Cheng, I will definitely find out the truth."

After saying this, Yang Liu turned his eyes to the dozens of apprentices in the queue and gritted his teeth: "If I want me to find out this thing that is ripped out, I must peel him off!"

"Si Cheng gave me such a high courtesy,"

"I even took off our craftsmanship,"

"Let our descendants be able to study and study scientific research,"

"There are people who are ungrateful and stingy!"

Pei Shaoqing glanced over and found that the disciples were also angry.

Obviously, they also wanted to find out the traitor hiding among them.

However, Pei Shaoqing suspected that this traitor would most likely not exist.

First, the management of the Shogun Department is extremely strict, and craftsmen are strictly prohibited from going out without a legitimate reason. Second, even if craftsmen go out, they must have a Shogun Department accompany them, so it is difficult to reveal the secret.

After all, movable type printing cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Pei Shaoqing said, "Old Yang, things may not be what you think."

"Huh?" Yang Qi still said that Pei Shaoqing was afraid that he would not be able to hold his face, so he immediately said, "Si Cheng, you don't have to care about my face. Compared to the secret of guarding the siege, what is my face of Yang Qi?"

"Old Yang, I mean, it may not be that our people have leaked the secret."

Pei Shaoqing said: "You never thought that it would be the printing technique that the monks from Jianfu Temple invented by themselves?"

"Ah, this?" Yang Qi said in surprise, "No, right? Is there such a coincidence in this world?"

Pei Shaoqing said: "Then let's think about it the other way around. If you were a traitor and stole the printing technology from the guard and capture department, who would you sell this movable type printing technology to?"

Yang Qi's face changed drastically: "Si Cheng, Xiao Lao is definitely not such a person!"

"I'm just making an assumption," Pei Shaoqing said, "I'm not suspicious of you."

"That's how it's." Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That old man must have sold it to those bookstores."

"Isn't this a matter of mercy?" Pei Shaoqing said, "The temple has always only entered and not exited. If you use printing techniques to find monks. Maybe the monks will just ask you to give alms to the temple. Wouldn't that be a fool?"

Yang Qi suddenly said, "So, it's really not a traitor who leaked it?"

"What kind of traitor?" Pei Shaoqing said, "We have no traitors in the capture department."

"Oh, yes." Yang Liu hurriedly said, "The guard and the captive officer have no traitors."

Pei Shaoqing turned his eyes to the carpenter apprentices again: "Don't have any psychological burden, Lao Yang was just anxious and wronged you, but I absolutely believe in you."

The carpenters quickly crossed their hands and said, "Thank you for your trust in Sicheng."

"Next, everyone doesn't have to worry about having no work."

Pei Shaoqing said again: "Although the Xiangrui Poetry Collection has been published, there are still more than 100,000 books in the secret hall of Hongwenguan. What we need to do next is to print all these more than 100,000 books in a thread-bound book!"

"Here!" Dozens of carpenters answered with a loud bang.

Although the traitor incident was just a false alarm,

But it also reminded Pei Shaoqing.

As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how well the security guard and the guard department does, there will inevitably be mistakes. This time, no traitor will not mean that there will never be any traitor.

Take a step back, even if the security work of the Shuqiao Department is done without any leakage,

It is hard to guarantee that smart booksellers will not introduce printing technology from the printed collection of Xiangrui poetry. Unexpectedly, movable type printing is still possible.

The monks in Jianfu Temple are an example.

Can monks think of it, will booksellers never think of it?

Therefore, the plan to publish "classic, historical, and sub-collections" on a large scale must be in advance.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to find oil and water from the Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry.

At that moment, Pei Shaoqing went straight to the Bachelor's College next door and found the Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan Yuan Wanqing.

After Liu Yizhi was promoted to the Imperial College and served as the Minister of Political Affairs, Yuan Wanqing took over as the Hanlin Academy and the Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan. Therefore, if he wanted to publish the Hongwenguan secret library books, he had to obtain Yuan Wanqing's approval.

Unfortunately, Yuan Wanqing was not here, but he met Song Jing, the new top student in the subject.
