Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 54 Aren’t you in a hurry?What if I add another fire?
At night, everyone gathered at the Cui family residence.

Cui Hong told what he saw and heard today, and everyone was silent after hearing the words.

Suddenly Lu Siqi said: "Is it true that His Majesty is helping Lin Heng behind his back?"

Cui Hong nodded heavily: "It seems so, indeed."

However, at this time, Xiao Qian of the Xiao family raised objections: "Your Majesty has always had a very high vision. Lin Heng is just a farmer who runs some merchants. How can your Majesty think highly of him?"

"I feel that your Majesty's visit to Lin Heng's paper bank is just to inquire about it. Besides, if Your Majesty really wants to help, why bother to pretend? As long as Your Majesty comes here, he will truly stand by Lin Heng's side to scare me. Wait, but His Majesty didn’t do that.”

"And as far as I know, even for the royal paper-making workshop, the cost of making a piece of paper like that is extremely high. Besides, the treasury is empty now. Why go to war just to help the consort of a disfigured princess?"

Cui Hong asked with some confusion: "Then do you think Lin Heng has really mastered the art of papermaking and can make such good paper at a very low cost?"

"It seems like it should be."

After saying that, everyone was silent again. Even if they didn't believe that a farmer really made the paper, the facts were indeed there now.

A piece of paper costs [-] guan, and Lin Heng sold at least over [-] guan today. If the cost was really that high, the loss would be [-] guan!
Can a farmer afford such a huge loss?Even the current royal family cannot afford it!

Cui Hong spoke again: "Once the cost of paper comes down, the cost of books will also fall. This is a big problem!"

Lu Siqi denied: "No, the price of a book lies in its content and copying. Paper is just a cost. Although the price of paper has dropped significantly, what really affects us is the income from selling paper."

Everyone present knew that the income from paper was the largest part, especially the Wang family, which had been running a papermaking workshop for generations.

"Perfume, soap, paper, shapeless, Lin Heng has so many secrets!"

"If we can get these businesses, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Suddenly someone said this, but everyone present had also seen Lin Heng's attitude last time, and it was almost impossible to let go.

Li Shiqi's face suddenly darkened: "Since this person is so stubborn, it might as well"

He then made a gesture of wiping his neck.

This kind of behavior is actually commonplace for aristocratic families. After all, people in shopping malls do regard profits as more important than their own lives.

And every time they do it, they can deceive others and prevent dirty water from being poured on themselves.

As soon as he said this, Lu Siqi shook his head: "If it was really that simple, his business would have been in our hands long ago. Why is it so troublesome?"

Lin Heng's identity was too sensitive. He was Princess Runan's consort, Li Shimin's son-in-law, and he also held a title. Once such a person disappeared inexplicably, everyone in the world would probably point the finger at the aristocratic family.

Naturally, Li Shimin will not let the family go easily. Even if they are doing it covertly, Li Shimin can still find clues. When Long Yan is angry, they will suffer a big loss!
Xiao Qian was silent for a moment and said: "This person has not let go before. What do you think is the reason?"

Wang Shaoyu sneered: "I just feel that the aristocratic family has given me less, what else can I have?"

"The lion opens his mouth wide and is not afraid of dying!"

"What if the price is raised again?"

Someone said in surprise: "The conditions given last time were already close to [-] guan. Lin Heng is still not satisfied. He must really give up the entire family to him before he lets go!"

Xiao Qian lightly tapped the table with his fingers: "The benefits of paper are obvious to all. The price has dropped, and we have suffered serious losses. We must not allow this low-priced paper to continue to be sold on the market."

"We must get these things from Lin Heng. The Cui family is the most powerful in Chang'an. Send someone to warn Lin Heng first, and then the Cui family will come forward to discuss it."

Everyone agreed, and suddenly he came to the noble Pei Bei and said, "Lu Siqi, weren't you asked to be responsible for the craftsmanship of soap and perfume before? How far has it progressed now?" Lu Siqi said dejectedly: "All Lin Heng's soaps The processing of perfume and perfume was done in batches. I spent a lot of money to hire these people and planned to dig out the formula of perfume from their mouths. Unexpectedly, these people only knew the flow of each process, but the most critical molding was not done. arrive!"

Soap cannot be molded and perfume cannot be concentrated, so how can it compare with what Lin Heng sells!

Cui Hong sighed and said: "Presumably he had thought that such a day would come before he opened the store. The key technology must be in his own hands and will not be handed over to others easily."

Xiao Qian said: "You recruit alchemists from all over the country. Don't those people like to do this? Let them try to see if they can find a way to promote it."

"But the best thing is to dig out the perfume formula from Lin Heng."

The next day, in Lin's Manor, Lin Heng was holding a small handful of dark stuff and stuffing it into a paper tube.

Black powder!
After scolding the family, there is also a reward, which is really good!
Seeing that the filling area was almost there, Lin Heng put in a long fuse and lit it immediately.

A moment later, there was an explosion, and nearby villagers heard the noise and immediately gathered around.

"Lin Langjun, it seemed like there was thunder just now, you..."

Everyone looked at the traces of burning and a lot of scraps of paper on the ground, and couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Seeing this, Lin Heng said awkwardly: "You guys are talking about the commotion just now. I did it. It's nothing. Let's disperse."

They thought there was thunder out of thin air on this sunny day, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Langjun always comes up with some weird things, and they are used to it.

Lin Heng looked at the traces left on the ground and couldn't help but think.

Although this gunpowder formula is available, how to use it is very particular and needs to be tested step by step.

He was about to do the next experiment when he saw Cui Hong coming with a few servants. When he saw Lin Heng, he cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

Lin Heng returned the gift with some confusion. There is no such coincidence in the world, right? They all ran into his own house by chance?
"Mr. Lin, I wonder what you were doing just now?"

Lin Heng twitched his lips: "What does it have to do with you?"

Cui Hong still said with a smile on his face: "I would like to invite County Prince Lin to come to my house to have a talk."

None of these aristocratic families were holding their breath back. He was not interested in communicating with them, so he said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it here, I don't have time."

Hearing this, Cui Hong took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said: "Lin Langjun's paper is indeed excellent. We have also seen the sales volume in Chang'an in the past two days. It is indeed shocking."

"I'm here to discuss a business deal with you on behalf of the family, how about it?"

Are you going to start tempting yourself with benefits again to hand over the formula?These people were really boring. Lin Heng originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of something.

The aristocratic family still behaved so calmly, obviously this piece of paper failed to make them panic!

So what if you add more fire?
Lin Heng chuckled and said, "Okay, when?"

Cui Hong was a little surprised. Lin Heng actually agreed?
He quickly said: "This afternoon, at Cui's house."

"can."
