Chapter 313 You wait to make a piece of decorative paper for this king to see
The amount of paper consumed twice a day is really expensive!
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan asked slowly: "Steward, are there any craftsmen who know how to make paper in the house?"
"Back to the king, there are two old craftsmen in the palace who came from the papermaking workshop, but they haven't been to the imperial paper workshop for a long time!"
After thinking for a while, Li Chang replied honestly.
"Really?"
Li Xuan was stunned. He just tried to ask, but he didn't expect that there were actually two of them.
He couldn't help but look happy, and said: "Call those two old craftsmen here, and there is also a bandstand."
"yes!"
Li Chang responded quickly and walked out.
At the same time, there is still a little excitement in my heart. With such actions, the king is going to make something good again!
Soon, two gray-haired old men and the ink master Ledai followed Li Chang in.
"The little man has met the king!"
This was the first time they were summoned by Li Xuan alone, and the two old papermakers were filled with excitement.
"Can you two make paper?"
Li Xuan asked directly.
"Back to your Majesty, I can only make paper!"
The two old craftsmen quickly raised their hands and said.
"Very good!"
Li Xuan looked happy and asked the band next to him.
"Can you make paper?"
Bandai looked confused and shook his head in confusion.
"Back to your Majesty, I have only heard of the art of papermaking, but I have never made paper!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan just nodded slightly and said to the two old craftsmen.
"In this case, you first make a piece of paper and let me read it again!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two people quickly raised their hands and responded, then looked embarrassed again.
"Your Majesty, making upholstery paper requires a lot of yellow tillers. Boil them, drain them, mash them and boil them. After pressing the bag, pound them and boil them again. Repeat this three times until the yellow tillers are boiled into mince.
, then pour it into the water tank, and the two people use giant curtains to swing it against each other, so that yellow paper can be made!"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and understood what these two old craftsmen meant.
"You mean, making paper takes a long time?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The two old men looked happy and nodded quickly.
"If you need anything, just go to the steward and ask for it. I want to see the paper made as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Several people quickly said yes, and then hurriedly walked out.
"Butler, why did the king ask the villain to come?"
After leaving the main room, Bandai seemed to have just remembered something and asked Li Chang quickly.
"Forehead!"
Li Chang was also startled, his face full of confusion.
"What did the king just say to you?"
"Back to the housekeeper, the king just asked the villain if he can make paper?"
Bandai frowned and thought for a moment, then replied cautiously.
Li Chang: "..."
After thinking for a moment, he said: "In this way, the music craftsman will make paper together with these two old craftsmen!"
After listening, Bandai thought for a while and nodded quickly.
Anyway, at this moment, there was nothing in the forge that he needed to worry about.
"Butler, do you think the king wants to open a paper-making workshop?"
While walking, Bandai suddenly realized something and quickly looked at Li Chang.
"I don't know about this!"
Li Chang shook his head subconsciously, then thought of something and stared at the orchestra table again.
"Also, the king's thoughts are not for me and other servants to guess at will, and we cannot guess at will. Whatever the king orders, I can do it!"
"Yes, butler!"
It felt like this usually peaceful butler suddenly seemed to be a different person. Le Tai felt something in his heart and hurriedly raised his hands in response.
Papermaking is a rare job.
After Li Chang came out with a few people, he went straight to the forge. He specially found a corner room in the forge and handed it over to Bandai and the two old craftsmen.
Two old craftsmen, if they want something, they will immediately send someone to find or buy it.
At the same time, he specially recruited two young craftsmen from the ink-making business next door to work with them.
Although Li Chang guessed that the king made paper for the purpose of using it in the school.
However, they still paid special attention to confidentiality and found Zheng Fu and Ma Xi.
"Two generals, the king wants to make paper. During this period, your majesty, the queen, and a group of noble concubines and princesses are spending the summer in the manor. There are many officials entering the manor. I also ask the two generals to take more care of the forging to prevent anyone from sneaking in!
"
"Butler, is your Majesty going to invent something good again?"
When the two of them heard this, their eyes widened.
"Nothing!"
Li Chang slowly shook his head, "Your Majesty just asked two old craftsmen in the palace to make some paper. As you know, a lot of paper is used in the school these days!"
When they heard about papermaking, the two nodded repeatedly.
"Butler Li, don't worry. Your Majesty is doing this for us. We will definitely guard the forge tightly and never let outsiders come in and disturb us!"
Li Chang looked solemn, "You and other personal guards are also not allowed to go in. It's not like you don't know the name of the king as a sage. The king usually tinkers with some small objects first, but in the end they always turn into something that is envied by everyone in the world.
of good stuff!”
"this……"
The two of them looked stunned, thinking of their king's past deeds, this was really the case!
"Don't worry, Butler Li, I'll find out later!"
"Um!"
Seeing this, Li Chang nodded with satisfaction.
And in the main house.
Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others all sat on the sofa with helpless expressions.
As Li Shimin and his family moved into the Lijiazhuang Villa, the officials rushed here even more diligently.
Even a group of generals came once a day.
As for those old killers, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin, they hid whenever they could.
He stayed in Li Xuan's house and refused to get out.
If it had been in the past, they would have been out and about.
"well!"
Thinking about it, several people sighed again.
On the side, Li Xuan was taking a nap with his eyes closed. His brows could not help but wrinkle slightly. Then, before the others could sigh again, he opened his eyes and glared at them, "What are you doing? My sofa is not comfortable to sit on?"
Cheng Chusi shuddered in fright, quickly closed his open mouth, and quickly explained: "Master, I misunderstood. It's just that there have been too many uncles in the village recently, and I can't handle them..."
"I see that you can't go out into the wild, you're in a panic!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly, "You will go to the forge with a white book and write down in detail the process of making paper by the craftsmen!"
"ah?"
Cheng Chusi and others were stunned.
"Um?"
Li Xuan stared at these bastards again, "What, you don't want to?"
"Master, don't be upset, I'll be there soon!"
Cheng Chusi and others quickly got up and ran out.
Although the forge is a bit stuffy, it's still better than being stuffy in the master's house all the time.
After these bastards walked out, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
A bunch of little bastards, still trying to trick him?
Don’t they know that in this era, their masters, their masters, and their masters are the ones they cannot mess with?
