Chapter 55 Li Shimin Sets Up a Banquet
Soon, the dried paper was pushed out of the drying room by the craftsman, and the craftsman took off the paper one by one and put it neatly on the platform.
Li Shimin and all the ministers all gathered around, and the eldest grandson Chong had already prepared pen and ink, and Li Shimin saw that he was holding a brush stained with ink, and happily wrote on the white paper.
"Good paper, good words!" The eldest grandson Wuji said happily.
Li Shimin wrote a few words at random, then opened it to look at the back, and found that the ink had not yet penetrated.
"What a good paper!"
"Not bad!"
"Lao Chen also come and try!"
On other platforms, those ministers also took brushes and began to write, Li Shimin was smiling, excited, finally came out, in the future, Datang will not be short of paper.
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji and the other Guogong saw that the paper came out in the workshop, just like what Qin Feng gave him before, and their hearts were completely relaxed. But the ministers of the family are a little out of place here now, a little cramped and uneasy.
This is, more than a dozen ministers from humble backgrounds walked towards Qin Feng and solemnly saluted Qin Feng.
"God give, please accept our worship!"
"Ah, you don't have to be like this, get up quickly!" Qin Feng stepped forward and hurriedly helped up a few people.
"God-given wait, you don't know the difficulty of reading for the disciples of the poor sect, don't hide it from God-given, I didn't write on paper before I was fifteen years old, and then I got a piece of rice paper, and I kept it well, and it took more than a year before I was willing to take out and copy an article that I thought I could, and send it to Mr.'s house for guidance! God-given, in the future, the world's poor disciples will no longer have no paper to use, and several of us on behalf of the world's poor disciples thank God. An older official took the lead and bowed to Qin Feng again.
Please get up quickly, we are all worried about Your Majesty! I don't deserve such a great gift from you! ”
Qin Feng looked at these officials, and a faint touch was touched in his heart, thinking about the previous life, how could there be a shortage of paper, nine years of compulsory education books have not been paid, let alone there will be no paper available. Look at it now, it has been more than a year before I am willing to use a piece of paper, I don't know whether it is pitiful or pathetic. It seems that I am going to get printing technology together in the near future and completely change the current situation.
After a while, Li Shimin and the others were tired, so Qin Feng led everyone to the canteen prepared here, fortunately, the canteen was big enough to seat so many people.
"I've been looking forward to this paper every day, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Li Shimin smiled and looked at Qin Feng and Eldest Sun Chong on the side. The other ministers were also smiling, only the people of the family had a little unkind face, but they didn't show much.
"Your Majesty is worried." Qin Feng's eldest grandson Chong stood up and bowed to Li Shimin and said.
"Sit down and talk! You have done such a great thing for me this time, what reward do you want? Li Shimin asked with a smile.
"Back to Your Majesty, the paper mill is all Changsun Chong is busy, Your Majesty will reward him if you want it, the minister has nothing to want!" Without waiting for Changsun Chong to speak, Qin Feng gave all the credit to Changsun Chong, he was really lazy to be an official, how tiring he was. Look at the officials in this hall, they are only thirty or forty years old, and they all have gray hair.
"You boy! You are you, Changsun Chong is Changsun Chong, without you, where would Changsun Chong have the opportunity to build such a big factory, all the planning in this is done by you, do you think I don't know? Li Shimin scolded with a smile.
"But the minister really doesn't lack anything, Your Majesty, if you really want to reward the minister, you can reward the minister with some money, the money is not enough to spend recently!" Qin Feng looked at the happy Li Shimin, and said casually that he had made a lot of money, but not all the money was given to Zhang Dayong to buy grain. Now Qin Feng is indeed poor.
"Money, money, money, you know money, don't you know how much your business makes every day, and you still need money, no!" Li Shimin scolded angrily, this kid, you can't be an official, you spend money all day long, and ruin my good mood.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it, as for being angry!" Qin Feng muttered in a low voice. Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't hear it, but a few brothers around heard it, and the cold sweat brushed down.
"Chong'er, Qin Feng, I'm going to sell paper in Chang'an City in three days, you guys will prepare more for me!" Li Shimin continued to say to the two.
"Your Majesty!" The two replied to Li Shimin.
"Eldest Sun Chong, I have appointed you as the director of the paper factory, and the official rank is temporarily on the fifth grade, and you are in charge of the paper factory!" Li Shimin opened his mouth to arrange the paper mill.
"Command!" The eldest grandson rushed forward and bowed.
"Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, I have appointed you two as captains on horseback, and I will take the left and right guards and thousands of people to guard the paper factory!" Li Shimin continued.
"Command!" Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to receive the order.
"Okay, all of you Aiqing have seen it almost, they all go back to the palace with me, I want to feast the ministers today, Qin Feng, you boys will arrange the paper factory in a while, and they will all return to the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin left with his ministers, leaving Qin Feng, Changsun Chong and others to arrange the paper mill, while Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin took the two guards to set up defenses.
Half an hour later, a few people left the paper mill and headed for Chang'an.
After a few people entered the palace, Li Shimin's banquet had already begun.
Qin Feng was really going to find a random place to sit down with a few brothers, and Li Shimin's personal eunuch Li Gonggong came.
"Heavenly Marquis, Your Majesty is invited!"
The brothers were not interested enough to find a place to sit down by themselves, ignoring Qin Feng, Qin Feng had no choice but to follow Gonggong Li all the way through the ministers and walk towards Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, Qin Feng brought!" After Gonggong Li said to Li Shimin, he stood on Li Shimin's side!
"Your Majesty!" Qin Feng bowed to Li Shimin.
"Qin Feng, sit!" Li Shimin pointed to the position on Li Chengqian's side.
After Li Shimin said this, everyone in the hall looked over here, the location Li Shimin said was the prince's area, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and other princes were sitting here, and when Li Shimin was holding a banquet today, he said that he would add a table next to him, and everyone didn't expect that this was left by Li Shimin for Qin Feng.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only Qin Feng didn't know who this position was, Li Shimin let him sit down, walked to the seat and ate it. Waiting for Li Shimin at noon, he didn't eat, he was already hungry, and as for the change in the atmosphere in the hall, Qin Feng didn't notice it at all.
The Duke of Guo, who was familiar with Qin Feng, was happy for Qin Feng and was favored by His Majesty. But those ministers of the family don't think so, this is to show the people of their family, Li Shimin does have this meaning, Qin Feng's status is now equivalent to the prince, and your family will weigh it.
Qin Feng didn't care about eating and drinking, the taste of food seemed to be very familiar, so he asked Li Ke on the side.
"Xiao Ke, has the imperial dining room changed cooks?"
"What kind of chef do you change, haven't you eaten the dishes made by the four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter!" Li Ke said to Qin Feng.
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter? How did they come! Qin Feng looked puzzled, why were these four people in the palace.
"When my father returned to the city, he specially asked me and Li Tai to go to the drunken night building and bring them over to cook!" Li Ke said.
"What should I do with my drunken supper?" Isn't this, bring my cook to the palace, my restaurant can't be opened.
"The restaurant is temporarily closed!" Li Ke was a little embarrassed.
"That's not! I.... Never mind! Qin Feng was about to stand up and ask Li Shimin, thinking that he was the emperor, and now the Tang people had the final say, but they still forgot it, and they couldn't afford to provoke it, so they had to sit down and eat it fiercely, as if the dishes in front of him were Li Shimin.
