Everyone stopped what they were doing.
Especially Ji Ruxue, she was very happy when she learned that Kong Yingda invited Li Min to teach at the Imperial College.
Why?
Because he must have been recognized!
That's why the old guys at the Imperial College asked him to teach.
That's a great opportunity, a celebrity for the ages!
As for Li Min, he had a different idea. He thought, go to the Imperial College to teach?
But what can be taught? There must be a purpose for going there, not in vain.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
If you teach that thing, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty.
People's study and life will be more convenient in the future.
There is another one that can affect the income of scholars, and it happens to be related to what he has been studying recently!
"Okay! You can decide the time, and just let me know when the time comes!"
Li Min agreed wholeheartedly.
Kong Yingda was a little stunned by such a straightforward agreement. It was so simple?
He thought it would be troublesome, but he didn't expect that Li Min agreed so quickly.
All this is a bit unreal.
Until Su Dan pushed Kong Yingda.
He just reacted.
"That's it, great, I'll prepare one or two now!"
"Master Kong, what about the time? It hasn't been decided yet!"
Su Dan added.
He really wanted to set the time directly, after all, the time to return to Taizhou was getting closer.
When the time comes for him to leave Chang'an, he will probably suffer a loss if he only relies on Su Mei.
"Oh, I've already set a time. How about this? Let's set the time at chenshi tomorrow morning! How about that?"
Tomorrow's time is set to be from seven to nine o'clock tomorrow.
This time is just right, neither early nor late. After he finishes speaking, he can go back to the group and continue working.
"Can!"
Li Min agreed wholeheartedly.
Kong Yingda was very happy.
"Great, I'll have someone come over to take you to the Imperial Academy tomorrow!"
As the highest academic institution in the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial College was not accessible to everyone.
And more than half of the people who teach there are also talented people.
If you start there, something will be popularized quickly.
Li Min took advantage of this.
What he wants to do is a great thing for Datang, and it will bring a lot of benefits to himself, especially some records.
"Anything else?"
Then Li Min asked again.
"One more thing!"
Kong Yingda said.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Yesterday, didn't you say that Shengtang Group could make paper?"
Speaking of this, Ji Ruxue listened attentively because Li Min said yesterday that he deliberately let Kong Yingda know.
It's just right now, I'm here again today, and sure enough it's still because of the paper.
"Yes! Then what? What?"
Li Min also seemed to realize what Kong Yingda was going to say.
"Your Majesty knows about this!"
"oh!"
Li Min only said one word "oh", and it seemed that it was not beyond his expectations.
Su Dan asked on the side: "Paper making? What kind of paper?"
Kong Yingda handed the paper to Su Dan to read.
Su Dan was full of praise when he saw it.
"Is this kind of paper really made by Mr. Zili? It's really extraordinary!"
I don’t know whether his words are true or false.
"Replace it if it's fake!"
Kong Yingda should say.
Su Tan praised him a few more times.
Kong Yingda also replied some.
The two of them played Li Min on the side.
But Li Min didn't feel anything at all.
What are these two guys doing?
He quietly watched the conversation between the two.
Finally, Kong Yingda realized that he still had important things to deal with.
"Mr. Zili, I brought the paper to the palace yesterday and it is very popular with His Majesty. Your Majesty said that the court will demand as much of this paper as there is!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. This was such a generous move.
People who don’t know think it’s not much.
But what about the people who know?
It has been learned that Li Min's papermaking speed is more than a hundred times that of ordinary papermaking.
Because he used hydraulic power and some mechanical synchronization, the number of people used was not very large. But the yield is very high!
He even mobilized 10,000 people he recruited to produce bicycles to join the effort.
Moreover, Li Min can make the current paper almost as heavy as A4 copy paper. In terms of sheets, the weight of almost a piece of paper is 30g.
At present, he can produce about 200 tons of paper per day. If one paper is worth one penny, the total is 6,700 taels.
If more investment is made, it will be possible to produce 1,000 tons per day.
His real profit is one-tenth, and this tenth is used to maintain normal operations. After all, he does not rely on paper to make money, but wants to drive down the price of paper. It makes the Maison sad that most of the hairdressing and papermaking factories are monopolized by the Maison. While making changes, he also wants to suppress the Maison!
"Does the imperial court really want that much?"
Li Min asked with a smile.
Kong Yingda was puzzled.
"How much? How much is that?"
Li Min said directly: "Not counting my full production, it would be 2.52 million taels a year! If I am fully producing, it would be 20 million taels!"
When Kong Yingda heard this, he was shocked.
This was something he didn't expect. He didn't expect that paper would cost so much money?
Su Dan was even more shocked.
But they also don’t think about how much they produce in a day.
But could the crucial court use so much paper?
Kong Yingda was also embarrassed because the money he received from the Ministry of Household Affairs was not much.
But once the words are said, it’s hard to take them back.
I had no choice but to say: "This, let me discuss with Your Majesty how much it will cost!"
Sure enough, I was still timid.
He had to give in. If he didn't give in, the paper that would cost 20 million taels a year would not be used up by the court!
"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me directly! By the way, do you have anything else?"
Li Min asked.
"No, let's go first!"
After finishing, Kong Yingda and Li Min said goodbye.
Ji Ruxue said: "Mr. Zili, do you really want to go to the Imperial College to teach?"
she asked, not surprising that her focus was on teaching, not paper money, now that she knew the yield.
"Yes, once we go there tomorrow, it will have a huge impact on Datang!"
"What impact?"
"You'll know tomorrow!"
"Then can I go with you tomorrow?"
"It's up to you. You can go if you want! Okay, I have other things to deal with first!"
"yes!"
Li Min then started doing his own work.
And when Kong Yingda and the others left, there was a huge sensation in Chang'an.
There are rumors circulating that Mr. Zili is going to the Imperial College to attend classes.
Some people even asked for connections to attend classes in the Imperial College.
Suddenly, it caused a huge sensation.
The literary circle was shocked.
There are also some old guys who have never been born who are even more concerned about everything about Li Min.
As for Li Shimin, he was also quite shocked when he learned about this important event.
