Li Xuan looked straight at Li Yi as if he had heard a fairy tale, "It's easy for you to say, you think it is a subset of the existing classics and history. There are countless engravings, and all the textbooks you mentioned are still there."
It has not been compiled. There are dozens or hundreds of books. Where can I find so many craftsmen to carve them one by one? Even if they are really carved, I still don’t know that it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse..."
"As for improving papermaking and reducing costs - if it could be reduced, it would have been reduced long ago. There are many types of paper on the market, but there are only a few types suitable for writing. A wealthy family like the Yu family has been around for hundreds of years.
, all have their own unique paper-making formula, which is also the most widely circulated on the market today. If they don’t cooperate, this matter will not progress..."
Li Xuan spat and said in an angry tone: "No one has solved these two problems for thousands of years. How can we easily solve them?"
Li Yi glanced at him and said, "Oh, how about a gamble?"
Li Xuan looked at him and asked: "What are you betting on?"
"I bet on whether I can make cheap, high-quality paper, and whether I can figure out a way to print a large number of books in a short period of time."
"Haha, these two things are related to the scholars all over the world. Don't even think about blowing me up. If you had such a method, you would have come up with it when you were planning to build the academy. How could you wait until now?" Li
Xuan sneered and asked, "Tell me, what's the bet?"
"I haven't thought about the bet for now. I'll talk about it later, but it won't be too much... Why, are you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Li Xuan sneered, "I don't even go out to inquire. What have I, your majesty, the Crown Prince, been afraid of?"
"Then do you want to bet or not?"
"No gambling."——
Whether you are afraid of returning or not, if you still insist on betting with him knowing that you will definitely lose, then it is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but whether you are stupid or not.
Judging from past experience, whenever he bets with himself, he must be confident about something. Today, he sounded so sure, it must be impossible to succeed, and only a fool would make such a bet.
Li Xuan showed a vicious expression on his face and said: "This Yu family, you have to beat it hard to vent your anger on Mingzhu!"
Li Yi picked up the two fish and walked back. As he walked, he murmured to himself, "How should I eat today's fish?"——
"Thank you very much for these two days."
In the small pavilion in the cloth village, Zeng Zuimo stood up and bowed to the white-haired woman. The white-haired woman smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I am idle anyway. I haven't touched these things for many years. Some of them are
I probably won’t have the chance to do it as a handcraftsman in the future. If it takes longer, I’m afraid I’ll forget it…”
Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said: "Why don't you have the chance to do it? I don't know if your child is married. In the future, your child will also have children. He will definitely be very happy wearing the clothes you have sewn."
"My child..." The white-haired woman's eyes were a little dazed, and then she smiled slightly and said: "That's right, while you can still do it now, do more, because in a few years, you won't be able to do it anymore..."
She turned to look at the girl with a smile and said: "I like the fabrics in this store very much. If there are any new styles in the future, please help me pay attention to them."
Zeng Zuimo smiled and nodded, "The famous fabrics in Kyoto these days are all available here. As long as you have heard the name, just send someone to get it."
For some marketing reasons, many high-quality fabrics need to be preheated in advance, causing a period of discussion in Kyoto and being hotly debated before they are released.
Before this, it was almost impossible for others to get the fabrics, but in these fabric shops and the ready-to-wear shops in Kyoto, she was the one who made the decisions, so there was no problem of not being able to get the goods.
Chen Miaoyu suddenly looked at Zeng Zuimo and asked, "Is Miss Zeng going to get married soon?"
When Zeng Zuimo heard this, his face turned a little red, and he whispered: "No, it's nothing..."
Chen Miaoyu looked at her with a smile on her face, took her hand and said: "Although we are women, once we meet the person we like, we still have to fight for it. How can a moment of modesty compare with a lifetime of happiness?"
?”
When she heard this, her face turned even redder - she looked at her, kissed her, hugged her, even said such shameful words, how could she be so reserved?
"Anyway, don't regret what you do now." Chen Miaoyu clapped her hand and said, "It's time for me to leave too."
"I'll send you off."
Although they didn't have much contact, the two of them were very close to each other. When they walked out of the store hand in hand, they heard slightly chaotic sounds coming from inside the store.
In the store, a girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, "Soft Smoke" and "Cancer" have not arrived in our store yet. Please wait for a few days, as soon as they arrive.
, we will send someone to inform the young master immediately..."
In the shop, the young man hugged a charming woman, lowered his head and whispered: "Look, they don't have the goods here, and there's nothing we can do about it..."
The enchanting woman said coquettishly: "There is no stock. These two kinds of fabrics are only produced in their shop. Mr. Yu doesn't know. She is here to tell you that there is no such thing. Those naughty foxes in Qunyu Courtyard, one by one, can
All used."
There was hesitation on the young master's face. He didn't know the details of this cloth village, but he also knew that it was impossible to do business in Kyoto without any background power.
The Yu family is also a big family in Jingguo. Although it is not as good as the Cui family and the Wang family, it is not much different.
Because of their relationship with the King of Shu, the Yu family and the Cui family have extremely close contacts. Unlike the Cui family, which mainly engages in jewelry business, the Yu family has been running a paper mill for decades. The Yu family’s paper name is Manjingguo, which is popular in most countries.
In people's eyes, they all belong to a top scholarly family.
However, these are not the capital that he is proud of. At least the Yu family does not have the capital that allows him to run rampant at the bottom of the well.
Just when Mr. Yu was hesitating, the enchanting woman next to him came over and whispered in his ear.
"I have heard that the "soft smoke" and "candy organza" are very thin and the colors are beautiful. If you wear them half-covered, it will definitely look good... When the time comes, the Nu family will
Wear it for the young master to see..."
Although Mr. Yu didn't know what "soft smoke" and "candy organza" were, he understood the woman's words, and a vague picture suddenly emerged in his mind.
Although the Yu family is not rampant in Kyoto, that was before. Now, even the eldest princess who is in charge of the government has asked the Yu family for something and has not seen her father.
The Cui family has been extremely satisfied with the Yu family recently. When His Highness the King of Shu comes to power, the Yu family may be able to climb higher. Even if there is someone behind the shop, they may not dare to
Provoke the current Yu family.
Thinking again of the eye-catching picture that just appeared in his mind, Mr. Yu put his hand into his lower robe, adjusted his posture, then looked at the girl and said angrily: "How dare you deceive me, the goods have not arrived?
Then tell me where those fabrics outside come from!"
