After Lin Xuan left the East Palace, he returned home and wrote down the cement firing method and sent someone to send it to the East Palace.
After finishing all this work, Lin Xuan continued to stay at home and write romances of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Writing is not troublesome, the troublesome thing is that it needs to be copied.
The original text must not be seen by others, otherwise he would be in big trouble. Lin Xuan planned to destroy the original text after finishing writing it.
"Sir, the shopkeeper Mo Xuanzhaihe is here to see you. I'm in the side hall," Chunyue said.
"I understand, ask someone to bring you some tea, I'll be there right away." Lin Xuan responded, put away the copy of Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, got up and went to the side hall.
"I've met the Marquis!" He Xinmin immediately stood up and saluted when he saw Lin Xuan coming in.
Lin Xuan waved his hand, walked to the top and sat down, and asked: "Is there something wrong with the cooperation with the Cui family?"
He Xinmin shook his head, took out a stack of paper from his arms, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, the research on toilet paper has been completed, Master Hou will see if he is satisfied with it."
Lin Xuan took the papers and looked at them carefully. They were rough, similar to the papyrus of later generations.
However, ancient technology cannot produce the soft toilet paper of later generations. It is already very good to be able to achieve this step.
"Not bad, what's the cost?" Lin Xuan asked.
He Xinmin was well prepared. When Lin Xuan asked about it, he said, "This toilet paper costs about 20 yuan per kilogram."
Twenty cents?
Not too expensive.
In the Tang Dynasty, one kilogram was worth sixteen taels, and one kilogram was enough to last several months.
Seeing Lin Xuan's calm silence, He Xinmin thought he was dissatisfied, so he quickly said: "Master Hou, mass production should be cheaper."
Lin Xuan came back to his senses and said: "You did a good job, you will receive a reward of ten coins, and everyone else will receive a reward of two hundred coins."
Merits will be rewarded, and Lin Xuan has now become a master of what he does.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." He Xinmin thanked him.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "This is what you deserve. Let's arrange for mass production when we get back. By the way, how is the research on bamboo paper?"
"Forgive me, Lord Marquis, but there has been no progress in bamboo paper for the time being." He Xinmin said.
Lin Xuan said: "I don't mean to blame, but we still need to hold on tight. The same goes for toilet paper. We need to continue to research softer ones."
He Xinmin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I understand. Mr. Hou, I wonder how much this toilet paper costs?"
"What's the selling price?" Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "It's only fifty cents per catty."
"yes!"
"By the way, how is the cooperation with the Cui family going?" Lin Xuan asked.
He Xinmin said: "Back to Lord Marquis, everything is normal with the cooperation with the Cui family. The Cui family bought a total of five million pieces of paper."
"It's only five million. I thought they could clear out the inventory. It seems that the Cui family's strength is not that great." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
There were tens of millions of pieces of paper piled up in the warehouse. He thought the Cui family could eat them all, so he specifically told He Xinmin to keep 20%.
He Xinmin was a little embarrassed. With the strength of the Cui family, how could they not be able to afford this little paper? It's just that their power was not in Chang'an and they didn't have that much money.
But he had no intention of explaining, as long as Lin Xuan was happy.
Lin Xuan chatted with He Xinmin for a while, sent them away, and returned to the study to continue writing the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
After taking a lunch break at noon, Lin Xuan continued to work in the study.
There is not much left of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it will be finished in an hour at most. Lin Xuan is ready to work harder to finish it.
However, it was not possible as Lin Xuan wished, because Cheng Chumo and others came.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
Cheng Chumo said: "We came to you to form a team to participate in the polo club."
"Zichu, if we form a team, we can definitely kill everyone." Yuchi Baolin said with a smile.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "I have never played polo, so you should go find Li Dezhou."
Cheng Chumo said with some disgust: "My skills in the Li De Award are poor and I don't plan to participate at all."
Lin Xuan was speechless and said: "I don't even know how to do it, and my skills are even worse. You might as well go to Rengui."
Yuchi Baolin said: "We also want to join Xue Rengui. The problem is that only the Lord's children can participate in the polo club, and Xue Rengui cannot participate."
"Why do you attach so much importance to the polo club?" Lin Xuan asked a little strangely.
Although Li Shimin said that good performance would be rewarded heavily, but it was nothing more than some money.
It's not normal for Cheng Chumo and the others to be so concerned.
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "All the beauties from famous families in Chang'an will go to watch the polo match. Hehe."
Lin Xuan stared at the boss and said in disbelief: "Do you want to go on a blind date?"
Yuchi Baolin said quickly: "What's the blind date? We just want to see it."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and thought I was a fool.
If they had gone to see it, with their status, they would have been able to go.
Why bother dragging him to participate in the competition?
It's nothing more than a peacock spreading its wings to attract the opposite sex.
"With your status, it seems like you can't make your own decisions about marriage, right?" Lin Xuan said angrily.
Cheng Chumo said firmly: "Although we can't make the decision, the family will still consider our opinions."
Lin Xuan glanced at him and said, "Do you want me to ask Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi?"
Others are still possible, but with the characters of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, it is strange that they would discuss it with them.
"Just tell me whether you want to help or not." Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan spread his hands and said: "I would like to help, but I don't know how. It's really helpless. You can hire someone else."
Yuchi Baolin said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how. Polo is not difficult. With your hands, you can learn it quickly."
"Yes, we are brothers, just help us." Cheng Chumo said.
"Okay." Lin Xuan said helplessly.
"I just said Zichu would help us. Let's go and practice now." Cheng Chumo grabbed Lin Xuan and walked out.
Lin Xuan quickly said: "Wait a minute, we don't have much time today, let's go tomorrow."
Qin Huaidao agreed: "Yes, tomorrow."
Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "Okay, there is a polo field in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and it has been booked by me. You can just come directly after tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I understand. If you have nothing to do, go back first. I still have something to do." Lin Xuan said.
In the next few days, I will probably have to practice ball every day, so I must finish writing the remaining parts today.
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said, "Give me some more of that Longjing tea."
Yuchi Baolin said quickly: "My family is gone too."
Qin Huaidao said nothing, but looked at Lin Xuan with eyes full of longing.
Together you think I am here to catch the autumn wind.
Lin Xuan told Chun Yue to prepare a pound of top grade tea and several pounds of top grade tea for each of them before sending them away.

Since the establishment of Taiyuan County in the Qin Dynasty, Taiyuan County has been one of the largest counties in the world.
Jinyang, the seat of Taiyuan County, was the place where the Tang Dynasty flourished. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and Li Shimin made great efforts to build Jinyang and it became very prosperous.
The headquarters of the Wang family in Taiyuan is in Jinyang City.
The Wang family has deep roots in Jinyang. The Wang family's ancestral home covers an area of more than 100 acres, which is a very large area.
You know, according to regulations, the residence of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty could not exceed a hundred acres at most.
It's just that the Wang family is special, and no one makes an issue out of it.
Wang Qingyun spent many days and exhausted several horses before returning to Jinyang.
