"Good paper?" Li Shimin became a little interested, stopped the eunuch who was about to leave, and said: "I also want to see the so-called 'good paper', and present it to me." ”

Chen Fei gestured behind him, and then, the two brothers Hudi and Hukang, who were overly nervous because of excitement, trembled and held up the two trays, as if walking in a thorn bush, carefully passing through the tables and chairs of the ministers, and then bowed down and raised the trays in their hands as high as possible.

Chen Fei turned around and took two trays, handed them to the eunuch who served Li Shimin closely, and waited for the eunuch to inspect them before presenting them to Li Shimin.

The two brothers, Hu Kang and Hudi, retreated in the awkward posture they had just now.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is bamboo paper, the main raw material is bamboo, this paper is white and soft, soaked and ink retention, delicate fiber, tough and smooth, conducive to preservation, calligraphy and painting, better than the current general paper several times."

Li Shimin picked up the bamboo paper and observed it carefully for a while, the surprise on his face became stronger and stronger, his hand gently stroked the paper, and exclaimed: "Good paper!" I've never seen paper of this quality. ”

Before Li Shimin could further experience the wonders of bamboo paper, Chen Fei picked up a piece of paper from another tray. "Your Majesty, please see, this is rice paper, characterized by easy preservation, durable and not brittle, will not fade, infiltrate ink retention, and bamboo paper has the same magic, but better than bamboo paper, Your Majesty, please look at this paper, smooth and soft, is the best in the paper."

"Yes! Not bad! Not bad! Good paper! Li Shimin's eyes lit up and beckoned the eunuch to go and get pen and ink. After the eunuch took the pen and ink, Li Shimin couldn't wait to pick up the brush, put pen on the bamboo paper, and wrote a big "Tang" character.

Li Shimin has never experienced this comfortable feeling!

"Good! This is the king of paper! Li Shimin laughed, and wrote "the first paper in the world" on rice paper.

Chen Fei glanced at the words written by Li Shimin, was overjoyed, swallowed his saliva, and said excitedly: "Thank you Your Majesty for the words!" ”

"Humph! I'm just writing casually, don't take it seriously, boy! Li Shimin changed a piece of paper, wrote "the first wine in the world", and then threw it to Chen Fei, "This is for you." ”

Chen Fei... accepted the inscription unceremoniously, then looked at Li Shimin pitifully and attacked him with eyes.

"Boy, don't stare at me, these two kinds of paper are of similar quality, which one do you want me to give the first paper seal in the world?"

Chen Fei...... That's why! If I had known, I wouldn't have taken out both papers!

"Your Majesty, seal it to rice paper, its quality is a little better than bamboo paper." Chen Fei's weak proposal.

"Hehe, Chen Fei, Chen Fei, don't try to fool me with this little trick of yours, it's okay for these papers to be sealed as royal tribute."

Okay, you are the emperor, whatever you say is what you say, Chen Fei pinched his nose and accepted this statement.

Suddenly, Chen Fei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and proposed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, it is better to use this kind of paper for the government in the future, and the ministers can give Your Majesty a seven-fold discount... No, eight-fold. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and pointed at Chen Fei angrily and funny: "You, you, you, you are really an out-and-out little slippery head!" Good! In the future, the government will specifically purchase these papers. ”

Chen Fei still doesn't give up, today he is like taking advantage of the banquet to make a big move, and he is bound to become famous in one fell swoop!

"Your Majesty, the minister has a new invention, it only takes one day to print a book!"

"What!" Li Shimin was completely surprised. "What do you say? It only takes a day to print a book? How is this possible? ”

"Really, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of movable type printing?"

"Movable type printing? What is typography called? Li Shimin looked confused. Chen Fei was also stunned, this... Why haven't you even heard of printing? Could it be that printing had not yet been invented at this time?

Wait a minute! Chen Fei remembered that the earliest engraving printing seemed to appear in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and it was still popular in the early Tang Dynasty to copy by hand, and the Buddhist scriptures that Tang Xuanzang brought back were excerpted by him himself.

"Your Majesty, please use the banquet first, and when the banquet is over, the minister will take Your Majesty to see movable type printing."

"Good! If what you say is true, I will be rewarded for being able to print a book in one day! Li Shimin listened to Chen Fei's description and was excited.

If you can print a book in one day, then the book will be widely circulated in the market. Books are no longer a luxury that only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford, and ordinary people can also have books to read and read!

This can not only benefit the rule of the country, but also hit the power of the family to a certain extent! Push the imperial examination system to the top! It has a special meaning for Li Shimin! Its role is even higher than the invention of rice paper!

Chen Fei naturally understood how attractive the appearance of printing, rice paper, and bamboo paper was to Li Shimin. Why was the Song Dynasty the most culturally brilliant era in Chinese history? The advent of movable type printing contributed to the popularity of paper.

If you advance the time when these things appeared to now...... Datang, what kind of peak will it reach? Chen Fei's heart trembled a little, he was the creator of all this!

The banquet continued, and the ministers drank the sobering soup, leaned on their seats for a while, and most of the wine sobered up, and comfortably leaned back on their seats to enjoy the singing and dancing programs played in Taichang Temple.

Everyone's topic is basically inseparable from Chen Fei's manor, from the dishes, wine, wine glasses, and decorations, they are all topics that the ministers talk about.

Many ministers who didn't know Chen Fei also had a preliminary impression of Chen Fei through this banquet, and this manor had almost become Chen Fei's personal business card.

There are many ministers who want to charter Chen Fei's manor to hold a banquet, some ministers want to buy Chen Fei's wine and wine glasses, some ministers appreciate the tables and chairs in Chen Fei's manor, and even some ministers want to eat the dishes cooked by Chen Fei's manor for a long time.

"Boy, you're famous!" Cheng Yanjin held his "little biting gold" with one hand, and stood in the thatched house with a comfortable "discharge".

"I've always been famous." Chen Fei had the same posture as Cheng Biting Jin, but his eyes were staring ahead, as if he was in a daze, at least Cheng Biting Jin thought so.

"Stinky boy, it's really boring to pee and be in a daze." Cheng Yanjin shook his body, lifted his pants and glanced at Chen Fei with disdain.

"Cut! The old man went back and had a few more drinks! After speaking, Cheng Yanjin left the thatched house quickly regardless of Chen Fei.

As for Chen Fei, he was not in a daze, but was entertained by the lottery points on the [Treasure Chest System].

"I just ran out of lottery points this morning, and now it has risen to 10,000 points, and this speed has simply taken off! It's decided, in the future, I will brush up on my presence in front of His Majesty, and then sit on thousands of lottery points, waiting to make a fortune! ”

"There is also a [nine-square grid module] that has not been opened, or I will save up the lottery points first, and I can open a new module when I save 50,000 points, and I don't know what kind of surprises will be waiting for me."

What a blissful annoyance! Chen Fei stood in the thatched hut like this, and for a while, he forgot to think, forget time, forget everything, and was immersed in the infinite imagination of the future......
