Chapter 198(2/2)
My relationship with you is not as good as it can say such things, right?
But then again, Pei Shaoqing's words still made Liu Rengui very helpful.
Especially Pei Shaoqing can be said to be a political enemy with him, and praise from political enemies is even more commendable. It is not as good as the old saying goes, conquering one's own people is nothing, conquering the enemy is really powerful.
Liu Rengui, Liu Ge Lao, who is trapped in self-affirmation, is unable to extricate himself.
Unaware that the initiative in the conversation had been stolen by Pei Shaoqing.
This is very rare. Liu Rengui is a veteran who has been deeply involved in the officialdom for 60 years.
While talking, Liu Fu had already cooked tea and came in to pour it for Pei Shaoqing to eat, but his expression was much better.
Because when she was cooking tea outside, Liu Fu also heard Pei Shaoqing's words, thinking that he had wronged Pei Sicheng before. Although this guy cheated the Liu family for more than 500,000 yuan, he was a smart person, and he could still distinguish between the high and low levels. At least he could see that Alang was the best among the Dukes of Yan and Yan.
After having tea, Liu Rengui finally recovered.
He said again: "Pei Sicheng, you have eaten tea, it's time to leave now?"
"No, I'm really not in a hurry." Pei Shaoqing said, "Gei, I haven't finished my words yet."
"What, haven't you finished speaking yet?" Liu Rengui smiled and suddenly felt that talking to Pei Shaoqing was actually quite interesting. He smiled and said, "Then you finish speaking quickly and then leave."
"Here." Pei Shaoqing crossed his hands and bowed, "I want the elder to see something."
After saying that, Pei Shaoqing took out a rolled piece of paper from the leather bag he carried with him.
As early as four months ago, shortly after the wedding, Pei Shaoqing transferred a group of paper craftsmen from the Shaofu Supervisor to the guard and capture department through Pei Feishu.
In the next four months,
These craftsmen have been busy making paper in Qipan Mountain.
After four months of continuous exploration and improvement, bamboo paper with mosaic bamboo as the raw material was finally made.
Bamboo paper made of bamboo as raw materials is pure white in color, and is tougher than velvet paper and easier to write. Even compared to tribute paper, it is no less beautiful.
What Pei Shaoqing now gives Liu Rengui is the newly made bamboo paper.
Liu Rengui glanced at Afu, and Afu reached out to take it.
After unfolding the bamboo paper, Afu first curled his lips and said, "This is just paper."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed again and said, "Hey, what kind of paper is this? Why haven't you seen it before?"
"It's right that Butler Liu has never seen it." Pei Shaoqing said, "Because this is the newly made paper from our Shuqiaosi Paper Floor, and we haven't had time to get it to the market to sell it."
"Has the Masato made new paper?"
Liu Rengui finally got serious now.
As soon as he reached out, Liu Fu quickly handed the paper on it.
"Not bad, good paper." Liu Rengui praised after a moment of looking, "No worse than tribute paper."
"The master of the Pavilion is as wise as a torch." Pei Shaoqing said, "This paper is not inferior to the tribute paper regardless of its toughness, color or smoothness. More importantly, it is cheaper."
"Oh?" Liu Renguidao, "How cheap is it?"
Pei Shaoqing stretched out his hand and said, "A single knife is only fifty pieces!"
"What?" Liu Rengui finally changed his face, "Fifty-word?"
"Yes." Pei Shaoqing said, "Because the raw materials for papermaking are inexhaustible, the cost required is nothing more than the wages of the craftsmen, and a piece of paper is enough!"
Liu Rengui was speechless.
He did not doubt Pei Shaoqing's words.
Because Pei Shaoqing had no need to lie to him.
I looked at the paper in my hand and was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
Pei Shaoqing could hear the sound of the word, at least two meanings.
The first meaning is that such a major invention that has been achieved through the country actually comes from the Shouchao Department.
The second meaning is that such an invention that can make countless profits is not the Liu family!
When Pei Shaoqing heard this, he felt very calm and sighed, which means that Liu Rengui still had something to ask for, but he was not really as calm as water, without desires or demands, and this was easy to deal with.
Pei Shaoqing said again: "Ge, do you know what this thin piece of paper means?"
"I probably know," said Liu Rengui. "With such cheap paper, the price of books will also drop significantly. In this way, not only the noble families can afford books. This means that from now on, poor families will have the opportunity to study and take the scientific exam."
Pei Shaoqing changed the topic again: "I heard that the elder of the Pavilion was born from the Liu family of the Wei family?"
"It's just a side branch." Liu Rengui said, "It's really a poor family."
It’s right for a poor family. If you are from a poor family, I won’t come to you yet.
It is precisely because Liu Rengui was born in a poor family and suffered from the hardship of having no books to read when he was a child that he hated books and monopolized knowledge from a noble family.
It is precisely because of this that they have a foundation for cooperation.
Pei Shaoqing suddenly stood up and bowed to Liu Rengui to the ground.
"What is Pei Sicheng doing?" Liu Rengui reached out to support him in surprise.
Pei Shaoqing insisted on bowing and said, "George, I really have something to ask for."
"Pei Sicheng has something to say." Liu Rengui said, "Actually, there is no need to be like this."
Pei Shaoqing said: "I am asking the elders to uphold justice for all the poor students in the world."
