What he said was full of pride, and it could be said that it gave everyone present a shot in the arm. Although Wang Si, who had a unique vision, didn't think so, he didn't dampen everyone's confidence. He then said: "The art of making paper is really not too serious. After all, from paper to book, stereotype printing or tracing and transcription are time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Looking at it right now, within 20 years, the imperial examination and selection of talents will not be able to take root stably. "

Cui Junsu nodded and said: "That's right, the foundation for our five surnames and Qiwang to gain a firm foothold is not power, but heritage. As long as we cultivate talents from generation to generation, even if there are imperial examinations as obstacles, the final winners will not be our children. ?”

"Hehe, what brother Cui said is very true, and the Cui family of Qinghe has set an example for us in educating people. I don't hesitate to let the children of the direct line become the best talents in the world. I admire it." One person said with a smile, the words in the words Everyone could hear the ridicule, Cui Junsu blushed, but he didn't attack because Wang Si had already opened his mouth to make a relief.

The five surnames and Qiwang discussed for a long time and came up with a result of close attention, and there were even people who didn't care much, but they were caught off guard by Du Shaoqing in the subsequent development.

Ever since the people of Chang'an knew that Zhaoxingfang had cheap new paper for sale, many people rushed to offer to buy and experience it. For a while, the most remote workshop in the southwest of Chang'an City became popular.

Emperor Li Er originally intended not to sell enough paper, but Du Shaoqing said that it is better to sell some of it than to block it, and most of these people are spies from other families. The initial sale of new paper is absolutely impossible. Why? Don't make a fortune?

So bamboo paper, which was the same price as rice paper but two points better than ordinary rice paper, began to sell well. Du Shaoqing also opened a bookstore in Dongshi to sell paper books.

After hearing about such things, ordinary people expressed their disappointment. They thought it was cheap new paper, but it was the same price as rice paper. It was still not affordable for the general public.

Speaking of the big sale of new paper, another strange thing happened, and the investigation results of the matter made Du Shaoqing dumbfounded.

That is because the production of rice paper is insufficient, so it is often out of stock in Chang'an. Now that there is new paper, many places in Chang'an have replaced it with bamboo paper, and the paper quality is very easy to use. One of the large purchases of bamboo paper is Datang Minbu. yamen.

Because Du Shaoqing had passed down the basis of sketching and painting, and suggested that Datang gradually implement the method of bringing portraits in household registration statistics, the Ministry of Civil Affairs needed to purchase a large amount of paper to register portraits for the people of Chang'an.

What followed was the rumor of sketch painting, and many people who like calligraphy and painting followed suit. At the same time, they also respected Du Shaoqing as the originator of sketch painting. Du Shaoqing never thought that he would be famous for sketching.

Until one day, it was rumored that the out-of-print picture album hand-painted by Master Du in Chang'an was sold in limited quantities. The sky-high price shocked the busy Du Shaoqing.

The news was brought by Hanwang Li Yuanchang, because he also sent someone to buy a copy. Since the cooperation was negotiated that day, this Hanwang has been very concerned about everything about Du Shaoqing.

Buying the picture album was partly flattering, but after getting it, the prince was astonished, and rode directly to Yongping Square to find Du Shaoqing.

"Shaoqing, I didn't expect that you are also a fellow. If you have this skill, why spread it to the shameless bastards in Chang'an? In the future, just leave this kind of business to me, and I guarantee that you will earn ten times more than this." Li Yuanchang Take this album and say mysteriously.

Du Shaoqing was still wondering, why did this cheap seventh uncle come?I haven't met a nail house yet, what is he talking about?what business?Why didn't I understand?

But when Du Shaoqing took the album and opened it, I was so excited that Du Shaoqing almost cursed, what the hell is this?Who drew this with a sketch?If this is the group of students I teach in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if I know who it is, I will beat him to death.

why?It's just because the so-called heirlooms at the bottom of the box are the picture books prepared by the newlyweds after marriage to guide the newlyweds how to perform the ceremony of the bridal chamber.

Of course, the underground market also sells them wantonly, and those are collectively referred to as a certain palace map, and they are not used to suppress the bottom of the box.

Before there were no sketches, these were albums with simple images drawn with a brush. After the sketches, the artist who drew them could even draw the appearance of beauties in a detailed and realistic way. One can imagine whether this thing will be popular?

Hearing Li Yuanchang's narration, Du Shaoqing knew that someone risked his reputation to sell this thing?And you said I drew it myself?Who is it?Doesn't it ruin my reputation to hate me so much?

"Who is it? Check it out for me. I found out that I skinned him!" Du Shaoqing was furious.

Only then did Li Yuanchang know that he was flattering, and he took the initiative to ask for orders to investigate the case. It is not difficult at all to find out the source of a businessman with the means of the Han Palace.

However, the final findings made King Han dumbfounded, and Du Shaoqing was hurt. The mastermind behind the scenes was none other than Du's subordinates, an old acquaintance scalper!

Chapter 354 Isn't That Too Much? ? ?

Li Yuanchang looked at Du Shaoqing in embarrassment, and after thinking about it, he should withdraw.

It never occurred to me that the man behind the scenes was actually a member of the Du family. Could it be that this niece and son-in-law deliberately said that, calling for a thief to cover up the album in front of him?As they advertised, he painted this thing by himself?

If Du Shaoqing knew what Li Yuanchang was doing, he would definitely cut Li Yuanchang's salary on the spot.

"Shaoqing, since the murderer has been found, let you deal with it. I will resign first, and you will inform me if there is anything to do." Li Yuanchang offered to leave.

Du Shaoqing sent Li Yuanchang out with a few polite words, and Wu Zhao came after hearing the news, "I heard that you are sending someone to look for scalpers? What happened?"

Throwing the picture book on the table: "The scalper will never change his nature, he will not follow you to take care of the work of the chamber of commerce, and even go into private business"

Du Shaoqing only talked to himself to vent his dissatisfaction, and completely forgot that Wu Zhao was still a little girl, how could he show her the picture album, so when Wu Zhao picked it up and opened it, he threw it out angrily: "Sex embryo ,what are you doing?"

"Huh? What's the matter? I'm not telling you about the crime of scalpers, what are you doing?"

"Don't think that you can have unreasonable thoughts after cooking me a few delicious meals, this girl is pure and pure, I"

Before Wu Zhao finished speaking, Du Shaoqing finally came to his senses, and looked back, how could I show her this thing this time?So he quickly reached out and put it in his arms.

"You bastard book, you still keep it in your hands, me, I'll tell Sister Changle."

Oh, I can't go, why is the misunderstanding getting deeper and deeper?

Du Shaoqing hurriedly grabbed the other party, but the picture album in his arms felt hot, and he couldn't throw it away or carry it. The dissatisfaction can only be attributed to the scalper.

At this time, the scalper outside the door was ordered to come, and when he entered the door, the two big masters were chattering, so he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "The scalper, my subordinate, didn't see anything, so I will step back and come back later."

stop!

The two shouted in unison, and at the same time let go of the hands that were holding each other.

Du Shaoqing cursed angrily in his heart because he was so weak, didn't he think that he didn't cheat me badly enough?

"Scalper, you did a good job!" Du Shaoqing shouted angrily at the scalper who came in.

"Ah? Boss, what's the villain doing? Ever since I followed you, I have worked hard and never dared to steal or play tricks." The scalper looked innocent.

Du Shaoqing was about to ask again, but Wu Zhao interrupted: "The scalper has done a good job following me, and I have been cultivating him vigorously, what do you want him for?

Also, let's put his affairs aside first, why don't you hurry up and take out that album? "

It seems that this girl didn't hear Du Shaoqing's complaints at all.

"Ah? Oh, I told you not to misunderstand." Du Shaoqing quickly took out the album to explain.

The scalper looked up, my God, isn't this the best-selling family heirloom of my subordinates?It turned out that the shopkeeper was discussing this with the owner, and it seemed that I came at a really bad time.

"Well, boss, I'd better take a leave of absence for the time being, you and the shopkeeper can have a detailed discussion." The scalper looked respectful.

Du Shaoqing's head was full of black lines, he couldn't bear it anymore, he went up and kicked him down, picked up the picture book and beat the scalper to the face, cursing at the same time: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

It's not all provoked by your soul, why are you doing bad business, but why do you do such dirty things, and still use my banner, my reputation has been ruined by you, I will beat you to death "

Wu Zhao was stunned, what's going on?

The scalper on the ground instantly understood that the owner knew that it was sold by him privately, and was angry about it.

This guy is also shrewd, he hurriedly hugged his head and begged for mercy, claiming that he was wronged, and he didn't care if he sold the court, who knew he wouldn't let him sell it.

After a violent beating, Du Shaoqing sat down panting, and then explained it again to Wu Zhao. After hearing this, the little girl also hated iron and steel.

"You are the second shopkeeper of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. If you want money and status, why bother to go back to your old business and do some shady private transactions? Besides, you signed a contract of sale to the Du family. You can't own a private business without your family's permission.

If it weren't for the generosity of the boss, you are allowed to live outside alone with your family and children, and all of you will have to work as coolies in the Du family, do you know that? "Wu Zhao reprimanded the scalper.
