Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Chengqian's words about not wasting paper when reading and cherishing learning opportunities made Kong Yingda nod with satisfaction.

    But Kong Yingda knew very well what Li Chengqian was like. When he had nothing to do, he would tear up a piece of paper and make origami. This sentence about not wasting paper came out of his mouth, which was really inconsistent!

    ¡°However, Kong Yingda is a well-educated person and will not tear down Li Chengqian¡¯s platform at this time.

    "I wonder if His Highness and the workshop master got the paper out?" Kong Yingda asked!

    Li Chengqian came out to talk to him about this. He shook his head and said, "I thought things were too simple. Although I told the master the craftsmanship, many things still need practice before I can figure it out!"

    "Oh, then" Yu Zhining was stunned.

    Li Chengqian said: "I would like to ask the two masters to go back first. I want to study the papermaking process with two papermaking masters here!"

    "The prince is making paper here, how can I leave? I will stay with His Highness the prince to study together!" Kong Yingda said with a solemn expression on his face.

    "It's useless for you to stay, so you don't have to suffer from the stench here!" Li Chengqian rushed in.

    Kong Yingda still wanted to say something, but Li Chengqian carried him out, then placed him at the door of the workshop and turned around to go in.

    Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining watched Li Chengqian rush into the smelly paper-making workshop, and sighed: "His Royal Highness, in order for the common people to read a book and write a word, he personally came to this smelly workshop."  Studying paper inside, what a respectable and admirable spirit this is!"

    "Yes, we can't help the prince, but we must report this deed to your majesty, so that your majesty, other ministers, and your students will know that we have such a person.  Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yu Zhining nodded and said.

    Kong Yingda touched his beard and said: "His Highness likes property. If I tell you this, I will definitely reward His Highness with property. It will be just what you like and you will get the beauty of it!"

    Yu Zhining looked at him and laughed.  Then following Li Chengqian's wishes, the two left Xiama Mausoleum hand in hand.

    Li Chengqian returned to the West Pool Courtyard very late. As soon as he entered the door, the maids hid away quickly because of the stench all over Li Chengqian.  Sister Hippo was the most direct. When she saw Li Chengqian, she immediately picked up his ice cream and ran out of the West Pool Courtyard. Xiao Chen didn't have the courage to approach Li Chengqian. Although Su Mi was as usual, she didn't care whether Li Chengqian was smelly or stolen, but  Helplessly, Li Chengqian's domineering power leaked out, forming a substantial domineering circle outside his body. Even if she wanted to get close, she couldn't get past it!

    "Don't come over here, I'll take a shower and change clothes and then come back!" After Li Chengqian said that, he stepped in and ran to take a shower!

    After taking a shower, the two women dared to approach Li Chengqian and asked him how he smelled so bad.

    Li Chengqian gave birth as expected.

    Xiao Chen was shocked: "Paper?"

    In Xiao Chen¡¯s eyes, this usually has no smell, and some papers even have a scent. How could it be so smelly?

    "Sister, don't be surprised. Before I married His Highness, I had seen a paper workshop at home. The smell was just like His Highness's just now!" Su Mi said.

    When Li Chengqian heard this, it turned out that the Su family also had a paper mill.  In ancient times, I had a paper-making stone at home. I wonder if it was for the sake of face!

    While the family was having a chat, a eunuch from the Manlu Palace came in and read out Lao Li's oral edict!

    After listening, Li Chengqian was a little stunned, and then he went to work on papermaking, and someone told the story to Lao Li's ears.

    However, Lao Li did not criticize him. Instead, he praised him and asked Li Chengqian to keep up his efforts.  Originally, Li Chengqian was going to be rewarded with something, but he was asked to make some achievements before he was rewarded!

    After sending away the eunuch, Li Chengqian didn't care at all. In the past, Li Chengqian would ask Lao Li to reward him a little more, but now his toilet water has begun to make money. This month's dividends amounted to 2,537 guan.  This word count made Li Chengqian's family so excited that they wanted to jump up and down, so now several years later, Li Chengqian still remembers this word count.

    So now those old Li¡¯s consistent rewards are no longer in Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes.

    It¡¯s strange who brought this matter to Lao Li.

    "I guess it's Confucius!" Su Mi said softly, happy that Li Chengqian had gained both fame and fortune.

    Li Chengqian nodded in agreement with her words.

    In the next few days, Li Chengqian stayed in Xiamaling, studying papermaking techniques with several papermakers there.

    Papermaking is divided into five steps: one soaking, two boiling, three drying and four pressing.?Baked.

    Soaking is to put bamboo and other raw materials into the pool, let the raw materials fully absorb water, and then mash them.

    Cooking is to cook the scraps until they become pulp, allowing the fibers to disperse.

    Drying means that after the pulp is cooled, a flat bamboo curtain is used to pick up the pulp and filter the water to become a paper film.

    Pressing involves using wooden boards to clamp the pulp, and then placing large stones to squeeze out the water and make the paper thinner.

    Baking is to put the half-pressed paper film next to the fire to bake, and then peel it off to get the finished product.

    After several days of practice, Li Chengqian finally understood all these processes, and his control over some details became better and better.

    "Brother, what do you want us to do?" Little Tiger asked Li Chengqian strangely.

    Shota curled his lips and said, "That's right, do we still want to go to school?"

    The little tiger would like to express his respect for this lumpy head, Mr. Shota, with a roll of his eyes. With the eldest brother, the king of truancy, are you still afraid that Master will blame us for truancy?

    "Today, I will take you to see how papermaking is made. Through such a close-up view, a subconscious mind will be created in your hearts. In the future, you must cherish paper and not waste it. You must study hard.  Learning opportunities are created for you by other working people!" Li Chengqian said seriously.

    "Workshop?" His eyes lit up, he was obviously particularly interested in this!  !

    "Get in the carriage!" Li Chengqian waved his hand, and five or six younger brothers and sisters quickly got on the carriage.

    Arriving at Chongwen Hall, Li Chengqian picked up Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining, and shouted to a master inside who was going to Hongwen Hall: "I'm taking my younger brothers and sisters to practice in the society, and I'll give you a lesson here!"

    Before the master came back to his senses, Li Chengqian's carriage left.

    When they arrived at Xiamaling, Li Chengqian led a group of people into the workshop. Xiaohu, a group of pampered princesses and princes, immediately couldn't stand the stench inside and quickly took out a handkerchief to cover their noses.  Shota went even further and ran out directly.

    Li Chengqian brought it back to him with one hand and immediately took the opportunity to say: "Do you know that paper is produced in such an environment?"
