Chapter 446: [The first business of a paper mill]

"You will feel uncomfortable when you smell it, but the papermakers have to make paper for reading in such an environment. Every piece of paper is hard-won, so we cherish paper!" Li Chengqian pressed his hands behind his back, walked in front of them, and educated him.

Qinghe covered his nose and said in a suffocating voice: "Well, I've heard from my elder brother. I won't fold frogs with paper in the future!"

Shota said: "Can you give me the origami in your room? If you give it to me, you won't fold it!"

Li Chengqian gave him a blank look: "It seems that the education I received is not enough. Come in with me. Let's go further!"

Kong Yingda looked at him with a smile behind Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian had the potential to be "good at the teacher". If Li Chengqian had not been the prince, Kong Yingda would have brought him into the profession of teacher!

The two papermakers were already standing in the pulp trough waiting for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said to them: "Okay, let's start now!"

They responded, took the bamboo curtain to pick up the pulp in the pool, put it on the wooden board, and pressed it on it with a large stone.

Li Chengqian waited in and watched. After the stone was pressed for a while, the stones started to open, and paper was placed on the fire rack and started to dry.

Li Chengqian took a piece of paper with a half thousand, which was soft and white. The feeling was very delicate when he held it in his hand. It was not much different from the high-end paper of the Tang Dynasty, but the cost was extremely low!

Kong Yingda also walked over and picked it up and looked at it. This is an old man who has written words for more than 60 years. He can tell whether it is good or bad at the first glance!

"Okay, okay, okay!" Kong Yingda was so excited that he couldn't speak, and he repeated the word "good" three times!

Xiao Laohu and the others also came over to pick it up and take a look, but they didn’t have the concept of being extraordinarily affordable as Li Chengqian thought, nor did they have the experience of Kong Yingda, so that’s the case.

The paper over there was almost a thousand baking, and soon five or six stacks of paper were made. Li Chengqian waited for the first time and looked at the finished paper and was soon satisfied with the new papermaking process.

"With such good quality and cheap paper to print dictionary, our white spoon dictionary can print more, thousands or tens of thousands of volumes!" Kong Yingda said excitedly!

Yu Zhining also thought of the number of dictionaries printed, and he also thought of more other things, such as printing and publishing more books, and publishing his own books!

"From the future, all those who are young can read books!" The two masters achieved unity in their thoughts, and tears filled their eyes!

Li Chengqian couldn't stand the Taishan in these two educational circles, so he coughed and said to the little tigers: "You follow the two masters to make paper. I have something to communicate with the two masters!"

Although the pulp is particularly smelly, it has been brought here by Li Chengqian. No matter what, the child has to suffer from the odor. When he heard Li Chengqian ask them to make paper, he immediately surrounded him excitedly. Some of them took out the pulp from the trough, some carried stones to press the pulp, and some took the pressed paper and placed it on the rack beside the stove. The more they got, the more excited they became.

On the other side, Li Chengqian took two confused masters to another room and laughed at them.

"Your Highness, you are..." Yu Zhining asked in confusion.

Li Chengqian asked: "What does Master think of me? Is that okay?"

Kong Yingda nodded: "Good, good quality, cheap, quite good, it's the best to use for printing dictionaries!"

"Well, then we will put the order for paper from Baisou Dictionary for Xiamaling Paper Factory!" Li Chengqian said.

"Of course...uh..." Kong Yingda responded habitually, and then discovered the fault in Li Chengqian's words. He couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, why are there orders?"

Li Chengqian said naturally: "It's o, how can I get it for nothing if I need money to make paper!"

Kong Yingda's mind couldn't understand the financial concept of Li Chengqian. She frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. She said, "Your Highness, this paper workshop is yours and this dictionary is yours. How can you use money?"

Li Chengqian explained: "There are different institutions, so the finance is also du Li. These two are mine. I want to give you money to print dictionary, I want to give the workshop money to make paper, and you give the money to the workshop, and I will take back the capital. This is a process of money flowing back to its original place. Otherwise, it will be messed up."

The more Kong Yingda thought about it, the more wrong he was, and said, "But did Your Highness get the money from His Majesty?"

"Oh, that's it." Li Chengqian said.

Yu Zhining saw Li Chengqian's intentions and understood that Li Chengqian was going to find paper to go to the papermaking workshop in Xiamaling. Xiamaling and papermaking workshops are much simpler than those in the Ministry of Works. Li Chengqian wanted to do the paper business and make money with paper. The first transaction was to make his own money. This money was approved from the court meeting, so he made money from the country.

"Since it is Your Highness's workshop, it is convenient to use!" Yu Zhining smiled loudly.

Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Li Chengqian wanted to express. He pointed at Li Chengqian with regret and said, "How come this very gentle thing has become a stinking smell of money when you come to Your Highness, you..."

Li Chengqian smiled.

Kong Yingda remembered that although Li Chengqian had some minor flaws, he was able to invent dictionaries and paper, which was a great contribution. So he thought about it and felt that he could not ruin the fu invented by Li Chengqian for a few minor flaws, so he had to hold back his stubborn temper!

Having said that, Kong Yingda is a stubborn temper. He used to stick to his principles. Now that he meets a student like Li Chengqian, he really wants to cry and laugh. He changes his principles and tolerate him everywhere.

This change may be because after Li Chengqian was ill, Kong Yingda was attributed to the sequelae of his illness when he saw his bad behavior, so he tolerated it. Later, he thought of Li Chengqian's talent, so he tolerated it again. He gradually got used to it. Now Li Chengqian is acting so badly in front of him. He was surprised to find that this thing that he could not be easy before, but now he can turn a blind eye to it!

I'm depraved!

Kong Yingda sighed!

Kong Yingda felt that he could not fall any longer and said to Li Chengqian: "This...ahem, your highness, this dictionary belongs to you, just do it!"

"Hehe, okay, after I calculated the price of the paper, I will just put a note and let it go to your place to pay!" Li Chengqian said.
