Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian raised his panda's eyes the next day, a bit miserable.

Seeing him so haggard, the princess asked him with concern. Li Chengqian shook his head, said it was okay, and went to see his son who was still sleeping. Emperor Li Xiang was about to turn two years old, always smart and cute, Li Chengqian sat down by the bed and watched for a while before going to the morning court.

When the early dynasty ended, Li Chengqian discussed with Fang Yizhi and others about finding Sun Simiao's whereabouts.

When His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, Sun Simiao was invited to Chang'an. At that time, Sun Simiao was more than seventy years old, but he looked at him with a childlike face, very healthy.

At that time, His Majesty Li Er invited Sun Simiao to take up a post in the Tai Hospital, but Sun Simiao did not agree and expressed his willingness to travel around the world to treat the common people. For a while, many medical classics in the imperial court needed to be edited and edited, and Sun Simiao came again upon invitation and brought some medical books that he had edited himself.

Li Chengqian still had some confidence in this old genius doctor. He didn't mention Li Yuanying's remarks to others, only said that he wanted to find Sun Simiao, Fang Yizhi and others didn't ask much, and they all took their orders.

Fang Yizhi and several of them are descendants of the family, and they have no shortage of manpower and material resources. Sun Simiao is well-known and can be traced wherever he goes. It is really not too difficult to find.

Since Li Chengqian said that Li Er's majesty, Li Yuanying brought some small toys to look for her grand-nephews to play with, and asked if Li Chengqian had found the genius doctor.

Li Chengqian is also waiting.

The news spread too slowly these years. It was because the people Fang Yi ran straight out found Sun Simiao outside, and it took some time to bring people or news back.

Without the news of the old genius doctor, Li Yuanying had no choice but to mess up his own affairs.

Last year, he asked Dai Ting to buy him a workshop, the paper-making kind, because of the lack of materials in winter, although the workshop bought it, it has not made half of paper.

After the spring season, the vegetation was abundant and the papermaking materials were ready to be collected. Dong Xiaoyi reported to Li Yuanying that the workshop could start papermaking, and whether it was necessary to officially start papermaking according to the original process.

When Li Yuanying heard this, she was intrigued and sent Dong Xiaoyi away and wandered to find a talented martial artist.

Now Li Yuanying regards Wu Cairen as a librarian, and if he wants to find books, he will first go to Wu Cairen and ask questions.

When Wu Cairen heard Li Yuanying's question about papermaking, he thought about it, shook his head and said, "This is something very few people have specifically recorded." Record the law of papermaking.

Seeing that Li Yuanying was really curious, Wu Cairen mentioned to Li Yuanying some things she knew: paper has hemp paper. Since the Han Dynasty, hemp, ramie, and jute have been used as materials, because hemp has to be used to make clothes, and hemp paper is costly. It is also not cheap; later, paper made of mulberry and rattan was called lint paper and rattan paper; I heard that bamboo can be used to make paper in Jiangnan now, called bamboo paper, and the quality is very good.

If you want to improve the papermaking method, you can start with the raw materials and see what raw materials are cheap and easy to use.

Wu Cairen spoke very well, and Li Yuanying nodded her head when she heard it. She turned her head out of the palace and went to the workshop to tell the papermaker so and so and so and so and so and so.

Li Yuanying’s greatest advantage is that he is not short of money, so he asked Dong Xiaoyi to show up a golden ingot on the spot, and said fairly generously: “If anyone can come up with a good way to lower the cost, this is who!”

Then he emphasized that the cost is low and the quality is almost okay. The paper is too soft and can be used to wipe butt, and the paper is too rough to be used to package food.

In short, it doesn't matter how the pre-finished product is, first find out what is suitable!

If only one of them does not work, then use a mixture of multiple materials!

It doesn't matter whether there is output in the short term, he only needs the latest, best and lowest cost papermaking method!

What he wants is not paper, but to keep the price of paper down!

Although paper craftsmen had wages in the past, they have never seen such a big ingot of gold ingots—in fact, there are no other ingots. It was Li Yuanying who inspired his guards to go to Gaochang and asked people to cast them according to the drawings he drew. It's heavy, like a small golden mountain, it looks very attractive!

Throughout the ages, there are not many people who can resist the temptation of gold. Hearing the promise made by Li Yuanying Jinkouyu, the craftsmen in the whole workshop became excited and expressed that they would do their best to explore the new papermaking method.

Li Yuanying liked the atmosphere very much, and learned the way his Majesty Li Er usually speaks and encouraged the craftsmen to leave.

Li Yuanying finished his work on improving the papermaking method, and it was already mid-February.

After the spring, the weather became more and more humid, and the old wounds and pains of Li Er's body were unbearable.

His Majesty Li Er was busy receiving the envoy of Tuyuhun during this period, and temporarily shelved the proposal of the imperial doctor.

This time, the envoy of Tuyuhun was here to welcome the relatives. His Majesty Li Er named a daughter of the clan as the princess of Honghua and promised the King of Tuyuhun a Nuobobo. These days, the Ministry of Rites and Hongfu Temple have been busy with this matter.

Yesterday, His Majesty Li Er personally went out of the city gate to marry Princess Honghua, and asked General Zuo Xiaowei and Huaiyang Wang Daoming to **** Princess Honghua to Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun is adjacent to Tubo and occupies a large grassland. It is a good place to raise horses. In the Sui Dynasty, it was the place for horses in the Central Plains. Emperor Sui Yang always wanted to swallow this place into the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and once beat it to an end. country.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the whole country was in chaos, and Tuyuhun regained its vitality, and the Tuyuhun people still wandered around Qinghai Lake to domesticate and raise horses.

His Majesty Li Er promised to marry the king of Tuyuhun.

Li Yuanying didn't know much about the affairs of the DPRK. He only knew that His Majesty Li Er was very busy, and he was too busy to pay attention to them, so of course he took the opportunity to engage in other things.

As a result, he was so busy that he left his little partner in the cold. Gao Yang blocked his door aggressively this morning, asking him not to go anywhere all day, but to accompany them to play.

Li Yuanying was kind to this, she skipped class grandiosely, and took Gao Yang and the others out of the palace to play.

The four little Lori were all very interested in the situation in the library, so Li Yuanying took them to the West Market for a stroll.

The library opened for half a month, and there were still a lot of people waiting outside every day, but it was more orderly than the day it opened.

The red mantle that was originally a student of the Imperial College is now worn by a group of underachievers. They couldn't read books anymore, and now there is a place where they can wander the sea of ​​books for free, and they absolutely don't allow anyone to destroy this treasure.

Li Yuanying revealed his identity, and the volunteers who had come to maintain order eagerly led them inside.

The people inside were quietly looking for books and reading, and even Gao Yang, who had the most flamboyant temperament, eased his footsteps unconsciously.

For these humble students who come to wait for the library to open every day, any book is a priceless treasure, and they are eagerly absorbing the scriptures they need.

Coincidentally, Wei Shu happened to be in the library.

The two sides met smoothly, and the four little loli became five little loli.

Li Yuanying took five little loli around in various areas, and found that Confucian classics were the most frequently retrieved. Other classics seemed to be rarely flipped, but his "Han Zi's Fables" was quite welcome. It was almost broken, and I don't know if it is because he is the master of the library to receive this kind of treatment.

The books are coming, it's a waste of no one to read them! Li Yuanying wondered how to use the other books in the library as much as possible, but Gao Yang was tired of visiting the tedious and non-playful library, pulling Li Yuanying's sleeves and wanted to go to other places to play.

Li Yuanying is also a child's xinxing, Gao Yang stopped thinking about this, and took them out for a stroll.

In the past, Li Yuanying was not a king. At a young age, he could not go out of the palace by himself, let alone take Gao Yang and the others out to play. Now he can finally go wherever he loves!

There is freedom, but I haven’t figured out where to go, Li Yuanying simply asked Gao Yang, who has the most ideas, "Where do you think we should go to play?"

Gao Yang hasn't been out of the palace much, but she often played polo with her older imperial brothers. After hearing a lot of things outside the palace, she recalled and said, "I heard that Pingkangfang is very fun."

Her few emperor brothers privately said that Pingkangfang was a good place to go, but every time she asked them deeply or asked them to take her there, the emperor brothers kept secret and refused to mention it to her.

People are like this, the more people cover up, the more you want to know!

The same goes for Gao Yang, she has long wanted to visit Pingkangfang.

Li Yuanying doesn't like to play polo on weekdays. She is also a well-known little devil in the world. She has no topics in common with the older prince and rarely talks about it with them.

Hearing Gao Yang reported a place name, he flipped through his mind to find out the Chang'an map he had seen, took a look, and said confidently: "I know where Pingkangfang is, and it’s near the East Market, from the front of Suzaku Gate. Go straight down the first road and you'll be there."

Li Yuanying has the personality to leave, she must go to the destination and immediately take the five little loli to Pingkangfang.

Since Sizi and the others were still young, they couldn't go too far, so he had people get a carriage to take them directly to the gate of Pingkangfang.

After stepping out of the carriage, Li Yuanying felt that this place was quite different from the West Market.

The West Market is very lively, and you can hear all kinds of shouts when you walk on the street. Perhaps this is because most of the surroundings are the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there is a lot of quiet on the street. You can find a lot of residences along the way, all of which are local offices in Beijing. Officials from all over the world come to these places if they want to play. Take a break.

In addition, many officials in the capital also live here. For example, Li Yuanying saw the house of Chu Suiliang's family.

Li Yuanying asked Gao Yang strangely: "What's so fun here?" This is an official and there are also officials, so it's boring to look at!

Gao Yang said: "Brother Emperor, they said it was fun!"

Li Yuanying said: "Then let's walk around and take a look."

Li Yuanying strolled forward for a while, and found an old servant and asked him where the fun is here. The old servant took a curious look at Li Yuanying and Gao Yang behind him, and said respectfully: "There is only one fun place here, Beili. But—"

Gao Yang was impatient to leave early, and interrupted the old servant's "But", and asked, "Then you tell us how to get to Beili!"

Seeing Gao Yang's domineering atmosphere, the old servant didn't dare to say more, and directly pointed them the way to Beili.

Li Yuanying led the five little loli to the direction pointed by the old servant.

The old servant looked at their backs as they walked away, and happily finished the unfinished words alone: ​​"But, that place is not suitable for girls to go! Even if it's that little man, it's too young to see..."

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: Although I don’t know where it is, it sounds like it’s fun!

Your Majesty Li Er:? ? ? ? ?
