Chapter 33 This is Royal

Chapter 33

Wei Hao and the others sold paper in private to those who were officials.

Those who are officials will send people here to buy paper, and they also hope to buy more paper.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin was summoning those ministers to discuss national affairs, mainly border affairs.

After the deliberation, the minister of Rites stood up and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is getting married this year, but there is still no statute. Do you need to come up with a statute? Besides, there is no one in the money and the money. The goal, so, what should I do, please show your majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be delayed. The minister's suggestion is to do it!" After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, this minister also thinks that a big deal is needed, but as far as I know, there is not much money left in the house!" Fang Xuanling also stood up and cupped his hands at this moment.

"Well, they all sat down and said, Gao Ming's big wedding, it must be a big deal, money matters, I will find a way, you can do it, these two days, I will discuss it with the Queen and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites Go do it, the money that should be spent will be spent!" Li Shimin squeezed his hands and said to them.

"Yes, but this money needs a lot of money. According to our estimation, the whole etiquette will not be less than [-] yuan. Your Majesty, we also know a little about the situation on the inner side. Now I heard that the concubine in the palace There are also princes and princesses who have opinions, I heard that their monthly expenses will be reduced by [-]%!" The Minister of Rites looked at Li Shimin and said.

"It's okay, I'm not worried about the money from the inside. What I'm worried about now is that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is short of a lot of money. Can the Ministry of Civil Affairs have a solution?" Li Shimin sat there and asked.

"Your Majesty, this minister has a suggestion!" Zhangsun Wuji said to Li Shimin at the moment.

"Oh, let's hear it!" As soon as Li Shimin heard his suggestion, he immediately looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with interest, thinking in his heart that he, his eldest brother-in-law, had a solution.

"Isn't the paper shop closed yesterday? The minister took a special look after the court and found that this paper sells very well. Now many people want to buy paper. Just this morning, the minister also bought a lot of paper, but However, the price has risen a lot, and it has reached a large amount of eight cents, and the minister bought [-] of them.

I heard that many ministers’ families bought it. I thought, since this paper is so cheap, I don’t know what the profit will be, but it used to be five cents a piece, and now I can get eight cents a piece, and the profit is at least three cents more. Money, if we can let the owner take out the paper-making process, Chen thought, maybe it can ease the crisis in the court. I believe that many people will definitely want this paper! "Zhangsun Wuji sat there and suggested to Li Shimin.

The other ministers also nodded.

"This paper is really good. I also bought some. There is really no problem with writing. Although it may not be as good as rice paper, it is really good for this price and such an effect. I just don't know what the output is." Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Shimin and said.

When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed in his heart. This output is not low, and it can produce 20 pieces a day. But now, when he hears Changsun Wuji's meaning that he wants to return to the court, that's not acceptable. .

"I'm afraid this paper cannot be given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Li Shimin looked at them with a smile and said.

"Why is this?" When Changsun Wuji heard this, he looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

"Could it be that the output is not good?" Fang Xuanling also asked in surprise.

"That's not the case, the output is extremely high, but this is made by the royal family. To be precise, it was made by Lizhi!" Li Shimin was still very proud after saying this at this moment, although he also knew in his heart that Lizhi was fundamentally I don't understand, but this thing really happened because of Li Lizhi, and the current workshop is in Li Lizhi's fief!

"What?" Everyone looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

"Oh, Your Majesty, it was made by Princess Changle. This, Your Majesty, this is a very good thing for me in the Tang Dynasty, and it is of great help for His Majesty to establish the prestige of the people!" The eldest grandson Wuji said excitedly at the moment.

"Yes, so I want to talk to Lizhi, you all know Lizhi, this child has no interest in these popular things, and wants to deal with it in a low-key manner. As for me, I hope that everyone in the world will know that this paper But my daughter made it out!" Li Shimin looked at them with a smile and said, thinking about this is a good reason.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be made clear with Her Royal Highness. There are still many bad voices in the court hall. If Her Royal Highness made a paper and let the world know, I believe it can greatly suppress those people. Different voices." Fang Xuanling also stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, I will convince her, by the way, this papermaking ah, there is a person who helped Lizhi a lot, I want to reward him, so I plan to reward him as an earl, as for Lizhi, he is my daughter, so No need for a reward!" Li Shimin said to them at the moment.

When they heard that it was okay to reward an earl, they would not suspect that the paper was made by that person. If it was made by that person, it would not be an earl, and at least a marquis.

"Well, for the money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you still need to think about ways. For the money from the inner side, I believe that the Queen will be able to do it. In addition, Li Zhi is assisting the Queen now. It is estimated that the problem is not big, and the money will slowly Yes!" Li Shimin looked at them and said.

They all nodded, a little regretful in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I just want to know, how is the output?" Fang Xuanling stood up and asked, he just wanted to know this question.

"The output is good, Li Zhi said that if you have a day, there will be thousands!" Li Shimin looked at them and said.

Now he doesn't dare to say too much. If he says too much, it is estimated that these ministers will have ideas. If they want to take it back to the court, it will be a big loss.

It's not that I don't think about the court, but I think that the money in the house is in my hands. If the court needs it, I can mobilize it, but at that time, the initiative is in my hands.

And if you give it to the Ministry of People, then if you want money from your own money, you have to ask the Ministry of People for it. There will be endless things to do at that time, and those censors know about it, but they still don't know how to impeach themselves.

"Is there such a high output? Good thing!" Fang Xuanling said happily upon hearing this.

"In this case, there will be no shortage of paper for scholars in the world!" The other ministers also said happily.

Then those people started complimenting Li Lizhi, saying she was smart, thinking of her for the country, etc. Anyway, those words of praise were given to Li Lizhi.

In the afternoon, Wei Hao and Li Lizhi were standing in the house next to the shop, watching forty or fifty baskets of copper coins piled up here.

"Girl, is this so easy to sell?" Wei Hao turned to look at Li Li and asked.

"It's too fast, I'm a little scared!" Li Lizhi turned her head to look at Wei Hao in shock and asked.

"Never mind, it's money anyway. We didn't steal or rob our money. Get it back first!" Wei Hao patted his head, no matter what happened, Li Lizhi would come to save him anyway.

"You don't mind?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It doesn't matter, wait until you have enough!" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and waved his hand.

"Sir, miss, a lot of businessmen just came and said that they hope to buy our paper in large quantities. Many people have reported 1 sheets. Do you want to give this to them?" A steward looked at Li Li and asked. stand up.

Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao.

"Well, are there many people like this?" Wei Hao was a little embarrassed. If they were given such a high price and they were shipped to other places to sell, the price would definitely be higher, and he couldn't keep selling like this, right?Unless all prices are raised, the price will be the same when the store opens later.

"More, there are more than ten!" The servant nodded and said.

"Forget it, don't sell it to them! We'd better sell it to the officials first, and the merchants will talk about it later!" Wei Hao thought about it, but still didn't want to cheat those merchants.

"Why?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao in confusion.

"Hey, we still have to cooperate with those merchants. If they get these papers at a high price, then our shop will open and sell at a low price, and then those merchants will lose money, you tell them, wait a minute Come on!" Wei Hao said while looking at the servants.

"Yes!" The servants nodded and said.

Li Lizhi felt a little surprised, but looked at Wei Hao with admiration in his heart. He didn't expect that Wei Hao was so kind and thought he wouldn't cheat people.

"Okay, drag it back!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi.

"Okay, by the way, remember, I will be waiting at the mansion tomorrow!" Li Lizhi nodded and reminded Wei Hao again.

"Is what you said true or false? Why can't I believe it?" Wei Hao still looked at Li Lizhi suspiciously.

"Believe it or not!" Li Lizhi said with a smile and waved to those people, telling them to put the money away.
