Her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement and she raised her head to look at Zhao Hao.

"This white linen paper is so beautiful. It's not as clean and neat as bamboo paper or Juan paper, but it has a kind of beauty that makes people love it."

"Zhao Hao, you are amazing. You actually created it!"

“And it was such a short time.”

Zhao Hao was also very happy: "Finally this time was not wasted, and I succeeded before winter!"

"Papermaking cannot be continued once winter comes, unless a huge amount of money is spent to build a warm greenhouse."

"But if that were the case, it would require too much money!"

Princess Yongning nodded and said, "How many sheets of this paper can you make every day?"

Zhao Hao said: "If I use all my strength, I can probably get more than a thousand."

Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed: "So many?"

Zhao Hao said: "This is not too much."

Princess Yongning glanced at him and said, "Isn't that a lot? You know, the bamboo paper made in the south only produces tens of thousands of sheets in a whole year."

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "It is difficult to make bamboo paper, and the raw materials are not sufficient, so it is normal that the quantity is small."

One thousand sheets a day, this speed, he was indeed not very satisfied.

But the scale is like this,

There's nothing I can do about it.

Princess Yongning asked: "So what are you going to do next? Are you going to start selling right away?"

Zhao Hao said softly: "Wait a while, make a few more, and then decide when to sell them."

Princess Yongning asked, "Do we have to wait any longer?"

Zhao Hao said: "This amount of paper right now won't make much of a splash even if we sell it. After all, it's just the beginning and it's still too little."

"At least wait until winter comes and we can't continue to build."

“By that time, we should be able to accumulate quite a bit.”

"Or maybe we can just not sell this year and wait until next year when the inventory has accumulated before we start selling."

"Anyway, there's nothing to worry about if the paper is left here. As long as we take it out, someone will definitely buy it!"

Princess Yongning nodded and said, "That's right, there's really no need to rush."

As she spoke, she took the paper in her hand again and touched it gently.

It's just wonderful.

As she looked at them, she exhaled softly and said with emotion: "When you start selling these papers, many people will be able to afford paper!"

"Zhao Hao, you have done another great thing that benefits the country and the people!"

Zhao Hao smiled softly and shook his head: "This is not really beneficial to the country and the people!"

Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed: "Do you have any other plans?"

Zhao Hao said calmly: "It's not really a plan. I just want to print all this paper into books and then sell them directly."

"Into a book?"

Princess Yongning was startled, then shook her head.

“Printing books costs too much and takes too long!”

"You'd better just sell paper!"

Printed books have existed in this world for a long time.

However, that requires engraving on a whole copper plate.

It is almost equivalent to the level of China in Zhao Hao's previous life before the invention of movable type printing.

Simply put, the cost of copying a book is already very high, and the cost of printing a book is much higher than copying it.

What about movable type printing?

It’s not that no one has tried it, but this thing does have technical barriers.

It was not until the invention of movable lead type that the problem of printing was completely solved.

Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes fell on Zhao Hao and she sighed softly.

"I know that you hate the aristocratic families and feel uncomfortable with their dominance."

“That’s why you wanted to invent paper.”

“I want to print a book.”

“Break their contextual monopoly.”

Princess Yongning's words immediately surprised Zhao Hao.

But he had never told her these thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the little white dove actually thought of it on his own.

Seeing Zhao Hao's surprised expression, Princess Yongning said, "Don't be so surprised. I am still very smart, right?"

Zhao Hao smiled softly: "Indeed, Your Highness the Princess is very smart."

Princess Yongning said: "So, it is already a great achievement that you can make paper!"

"As for printing books, forget it!"

“Even if you put all the money you earn from the First Floor every year, plus the dividends from the Dry Wine, into this, it’s still not enough for you to print a few books.”

Zhao Hao nodded slightly.

"Of course I understand your highness's good intentions, but I am just like that. If someone makes me unhappy or suffers a loss, I will definitely not let it go for nothing."

"So Your Highness, there's no need to persuade me. I will definitely write this book!"

After hearing what he said, Princess Yongning suddenly became a little annoyed.

"Why are you so unwilling to listen to advice?"

"It's a road that's obviously blocked, and it's obviously a big pit, so why do you still force yourself to jump in?"

Zhao Hao said softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I am sure of it."

Princess Yongning asked, "Then tell me, what are you sure of?"

Zhao Hao said, "Because I can change the printing technique. I can change the original copperplate printing method to movable type, and that will be all!"

“It greatly increases the speed of printing.”

Princess Yongning rolled her eyes speechlessly and said unhappily, "You think you're the only smart person in this world, right?"

"I don't know how many people have tried your method over the past few hundred years, but have you seen any one succeed?"
