I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 11 Obsessed with Papermaking
After two or three days of visits, Li Yu visited Xianyang City all over.

The house at this time is really cheap, and the annual rental cost of a shop is only two taels of silver.

For Li Yu before, it was indeed very expensive, but this moment is not that moment.

Li Yu got on the line of Ying Zheng, and even got a marquis. For the marquis, this little money is really a drizzle.

……

"How many houses do you need, you just need to inform the officials, why do you have to go there yourself?"

Looking at Zhao Youting, the history of Gyeonggi, he showed compliments and spoke pleasantly.

Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Neishi's words are not appropriate. Since he is an official in the same dynasty, it is better to meet each other. We still have to collect as much as the store should charge, and we cannot engage in privileges."

What Li Yu said, the so-called privileges, for Zhao Youting, who has been in the center of power for a long time and dealt with princes and nobles, Zhao Youting didn't take it seriously.

Maybe he was a little surprised that Junhou would say such a thing.

But these words came from Li Yu's mouth, so Zhao Youting could only pretend to be confused, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense."

The meaning of prevarication is beyond words, Li Yu is not stupid, let alone care about it.

In Daqin, princes, generals, and ministers included land wealth, common people, and slaves.

Under such a hierarchical system, to say no to privileges is to question His Majesty's way of governing the country.

Li Yu even had a flash of thought, whether to change Daqin's hierarchy as well.

But then he shook his head and dismissed the idea. Such a concept that is too advanced may not be suitable for Daqin today.

Now that he has figured it out, Li Yu doesn't talk too much anymore. The most important thing now is of course power and money.

If we want to aspire to make Great Qin stronger, the two are indispensable, and we have the rights, but the money...

Li Yu gambled on a spicy stick, and the current Daqin treasury has absolutely no deposits.

Therefore, everything still depends on oneself to have enough food and clothing, so Zhao Yun put a package on the table.

Only then did Li Yu say: "Master Neishi is busy with business, so I won't bother you anymore. On the table is the deposit for renting two shops for five years. There are 100 taels of silver in five years, which is not a lot."

Zhao Youting's face changed, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty can't do it, if His Majesty finds out..."

In this troubled world, does the popular force send money or not?

Li Yu was a little surprised, and immediately interrupted: "It's okay, if His Majesty asks you to be held accountable, you can say that I insist on paying."

Being able to serve as the history of Gyeonggi, Zhao Youting is naturally outstanding.

What I said just now was just to wait for Li Yu to say something so that I could deal with my errands. When I heard Li Yu got up and explained, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't dare, I will see you off."

They are full of cunning old men like foxes, the national treasury is at a loss, and they still can't think of a way to make money, Li Yu shook his head helplessly.

"The road is difficult and long."

After leaving the Internal History Mansion, Li Yu sent Zhao Yun to call Cai Lun.

After a few days of recuperation, Cai Lun walked much more smoothly, but for men, purging should be the scariest castration in history.

Li Yu couldn't help shivering, and said with concern: "Xiao Cai, how's your self-cultivation these days?"

Cai Lun showed a shyness on his face?
I'm afraid it's not that Li Yu misunderstood...

I saw Cai Lun bowed and said: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern. The villain is fine. I have been thinking about papermaking every day for the past few days, and I have some clues."

The system did not send the business of papermaking technology by the way, but it took Cai Lun three or two days to figure it out, which is indeed a bit shocking.

Li Yu was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Oh? Tell me quickly and listen."

Cai Lun thought for a while, organized his language expression, and then said: "Recently, the villain was thinking that it would be great if this paper could be stretched as smoothly as cloth, and then he thought that when he was a child, he went up the mountain with his parents to cut firewood and break bamboo. The bamboo joints of those trees are inextricably linked, if these trees can be..."

The more Li Yu heard it, the more shocked he became. Li Yu probably knew about Cai Lun's paper making, but now hearing it on the spot is another experience.

Seeing that Cai Lun's discussion tended to be eloquent, Li Yu quickly interrupted: "Just talking is not enough, let's go, we have to combine practice, as the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice..."

The reason why Li Yu visited Xianyang all over was to find such two places that could be quickly converted into paper workshops.

A mill with warehouses beside it.

Li Yu led Cai Lun, and Zhao Yun plunged into the workshop.

a month later.

It was rumored in the imperial court: Li Yuchu, the lord of the Immortals, arrived in Xianyang, and brought two young men into the mill, but there was no one there for a month.

Li Yu, a newcomer who has just arrived, made such a weird move, no wonder the officials have different opinions.

Ying Zheng was looking at the memorial about the survivors of the Six Kingdoms in his hand, but his mind was not on the memorial.

Xianjun actually took two handsome teenagers to stay in the mill for a month.

……

A trace of suspicion appeared on Ying Zheng's face, what are you doing in the mill?
What can I do?
The behavior of this Xianjunhou was really unexpected and erratic, making it hard to fathom.

Ying Zheng shook his head first, tapped the hand holding the memorial a few times, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Zhao Gao, come with me to Nanshi."

Zhao Gao just glanced at it and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Since Li Si was misfortune by Li Yu to the west of Xianyang City, the place has become quieter.

But the journey to the morning court is really long. In the past, it only took a quarter of an hour to get to Xianyang Palace at the fourth watch, but now it takes three watch to get up.

I was feeling angry, and I heard from the housekeeper that Li Yu seemed to be working on something in a mill, and it had been a month.

Li Si tapped the bamboo scroll on the table with his fingers. This was the memorial to Ying Zheng about the adherents of the Six Kingdoms.

Li Si pondered for a moment, then retracted his fingers and shouted, "Prepare the car and go to Fangshi in the south of the city."

……

Li Yu stared at the milky white slurry in the pool in the mill with red eyes, and as Zhao Yun and Cai Lun slowly lifted the gauze from the pool, he couldn't help but reminded: "Slow down! Slow down!"

As the two ends of the gauze were lifted, a thin layer of milky white powder was dyed on it, and it was placed on the smooth stone platform next to it.

"Hurry up, get on the board, and put the boulder on it," Li Yu shouted again.

This is the third improvement, and Li Yu can't be in a hurry. At this time, Li Yu, including Zhao Yun and Cai Lun, are also the same. extreme.

Li Yu looked haggardly at the boulder pressing on the gauze, and suddenly flushed, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Cai, start a fire, roast it!"

Grandma, I've been busy for a month, and it's all about this hair.

Cai Lun was even more tired, after all, something was missing.

But he was equally excited and inexplicable, and lit a fire under the stone platform with numb hands and feet.

Li Yu's shout just now was not insignificant, it scared Zhao Gao who had just walked to the door to stagger.

"Start a fire and roast him?"

Could it be that Xian Junhou is lynching?

Zhao Gao's fair old face looked a little panicked.
