Listening to Nini's words, Li Mengyue knew that Gongsun Cheng and others had successfully made paper without her personal guidance.

In fact, she was not surprised. After all, the papermaking process she wrote was very detailed, and anyone could make paper by following it.

What's more, the Gongsun family is not an ordinary person. For them, it is not a big problem at all.

However, when Li Mengyue and Nini spoke, they still affirmed their contributions.

"Ni Ni, can you take me to see it?"

"Of course, Master, come this way."

Under the guidance of Nini, Li Mengyue went to the backyard, where paper was made.

As soon as I walked into the backyard, I saw that the Gongsun family was busy. Some were rolling paper, some were drying paper, and basically there was someone doing each step.

Watching the Gongsun family making paper in an orderly manner, Li Mengyue stood there without saying a word, but Nini called her mother.

"Mother, the master is here."

Gongsun Shi put down the work in her hands after hearing her daughter's cry, and looked up to see her savior, their current master Li Mengyue.

At this time, other people also looked at Li Mengyue, and everyone hurried forward to greet her.

Li Mengyue waved her hand, telling everyone not to be so polite.

"Master, we did not move to the village as you ordered. Please punish us."

Gongsun Cheng knelt down.

"Get up. This has nothing to do with you. I came here just to check on the papermaking progress and make appropriate adjustments based on the current situation."

Li Mengyue walked to a table with brand new papers on it. She picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. She found that the papermaking technology of the post-war era could produce paper that was much better than the best paper on the market today.

It can be said that the paper they make on the spot, as long as it is sold on the market, will definitely beat all the papers available on the market.

But before officially selling it, she still needs to think it over carefully.

You have to know that in this era, books and paper have been monopolized by aristocratic families since ancient times. In addition, papermaking technology is backward and production efficiency is low, which leads to extremely high paper prices.

Even a family with a small fortune could hardly afford to support a scholar.

After all, not counting the tuition, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone alone would be a large sum of money, which could easily bankrupt the entire family.

Let’s not talk about other things, just look at the Li family. In order to let Li Jian study, old man Li and old lady Li not only spent all their savings, but also spent all the annual output of the land on Li Jian’s studies.

Old man and old lady Li were looking forward to Li Jian's admission to high school, so they were willing to sacrifice their eldest son and second son's family and treat Li Hai and Li An like their workhorses.

The biggest reason is that studying is too expensive.

When Old Man Li came to Xinghua Village, he had a large amount of savings and 20 acres of land. In the process of supporting Li Jian's studies, the family's money became less and less, and the family's living standard gradually declined.

Although the Li family lived in a blue brick and tile house, the food they ate every day was not very good in the village, and it was just enough to make ends meet.

䀴This "food and clothing" does not refer to all members of the Li family. For example, Wang and the Li twins, and the sisters Li Rou and Li Qiao, can only eat their fill a few times.

Even so, it was difficult for the Li family to support Li Jian's studies, let alone other villagers.
