In these industries under his name, Li Yuanjia's mentality is very stable and his purpose is very clear.

Nothing other than glass is about making money.

To be honest, does he have a penny for making money?

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he doesn't go to build pavilions and pavilions, raise a lot of dancing girls and singers, or let a farmer in Zhuangzi raise chickens in order to eat chicken tongue, he just lives his rich life in peace, and money is just a bunch of numbers to him.

If you want him and his cousin Li Xiaogong to spend all day drinking and drinking like him, Li Yuanjia really can't do it - eating and drinking too much hurts his body, and after getting used to watching various entertainment programs in the future, the top dancers of Datang are just a bunch of pink skeletons in his eyes......

If he really wants to make money, he has too many ways, what is the point of making paper?

Therefore, the real meaning of the existence of the papermaking workshop, in addition to providing Li Yuanjia with paper for calligraphy and painting, and using it to establish a good relationship with the emperor and others, is actually to accumulate technology for the Tang Dynasty - cough cough, very noble, and very pure purpose.

The cost of Hanwang paper is too high, and the materials used are relatively difficult to find, so it makes no sense to promote it. But in the future, if Wang Pu and others can make bamboo paper, and the cost is relatively low......

There is no doubt that Li Yuanjia will scatter the technology.

Whether it is the paper mill of those wealthy nobles or the folk paper mill, as long as you pay a sum of money, you can get the corresponding technology from the Hanwangfu paper mill to make cheap and easy-to-use bamboo paper. Especially in the south, where bamboo is inexhaustible, it is the focus of Li Yuanjia's efforts to promote!

His requirements are not high, and the price of paper is reduced to one-tenth of what it is now.

Therefore, not only did Wang Pu and them study how to make bamboo paper, but at the same time, Li Yuanjia also asked Li Zhong's blacksmiths to find a harder alloy to use to make knives for chopping bamboo; They also had to design water-powered tools to hammer soaked bamboo chips; It is even necessary for craftsmen to continue to improve the coke manufacturing technology and reduce the price of coke as soon as possible, so as to reduce the time cost and fuel cost of boiling bamboo chips......

Again, this is a systems project.

If it was just to make money, Li Yuanjia would not have gone to such great lengths. You know, if you want to solve these problems, you need more than hundreds...... Even thousands of dollars can take years...... Even more than ten years!

If it's to make money, he's full of food and support it?

Wouldn't it be enough to expand the paper mill directly? Anyway, now as long as it is the paper sold by Xinhua Bookstore, it will be a second to throw it out, and it is enough to find a group of people to make it.

It's just that Li Yuanjia doesn't plan to tell Wang Pu about these thoughts.

It is difficult for people in this era to understand this, or he can't understand why Li Yuanjia did this, let alone the emptiness and loneliness in his king's heart - if he doesn't find a goal for himself in this era and find something to do, Li Yuanjia suspects that he will go crazy in the dark night sooner or later......

It was another night with no TV, no computer, no internet, not even a glimmer of light.

Early the next morning, when the rooster was crowing all over the place, Li Yuanjia woke up.

He looked at the roof in a daze, and it wasn't until it was dark outside that he lazily got up from the bed and pushed the door open. As soon as Li Yuanjia came out, Han Lucheng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately waved his hand, and several small servants rushed up - some dressed him, some took care of his hair, and some presented him with a toothbrush that had been stained with green salt, and there was also a basin of hot water and a clean towel waiting next to him.

After spending a stick of incense to clean himself, Li Yuanjia asked casually, "What do you eat in the morning?" Got buns? ”

"Yes, my lord."

While taking the towel in Li Yuanjia's hand and handing it to the little guy next to him, Han Lucheng said with a smile: "In addition, I also prepared fried dough sticks and scallion pancakes, a few side dishes, and rare porridge and egg drop soup." ”

"Huh? Egg drop soup? ”

"Yes, King."

Nodding, Han Lucheng's voice was a little quieter: "The princess saw that you hadn't gone back for a few days, so she asked someone to send Yu Niang over...... I arrived later yesterday, but I didn't tell you for fear of delaying your rest. Today's breakfast, the circle is made by her alone. ”

“……”

His eyelids moved, and Li Yuanjia suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

All right.

I only lived in Zhuangzi for a few days, and Han Lucheng was waiting by my side, could I still be hungry? But after all, people are kind, and Li Yuanjia can't say anything, just smiled and said: "Since Yu Niang is here, do they also come one or two of Chunyan?" ”

"Back to the king, it's the willow eyebrows and ink that have been painted, and I'm helping out at the Jade Niang at this time."

“…… Hehe. ”

After laughing dryly, Li Yuanjia looked up in the direction of Zhuangzi in the distance: at this time, Zhuangzi was already smoky and full of vitality.

The Tang people have two meals a day, and this one in the morning is particularly important.

Because after breakfast, the men have to work in the fields, or go to Li Yuanjia's workshop to "work", and the women cannot be idle, the children in the family have to take care of the housework, and the work such as chopping wood, cooking, and washing is all theirs, and they are not at all lighter than the men.

In comparison, Li Yuanjia's side is simply too leisurely.

It's a pity that this King Han no longer has the inexplicable guilt he had when he first crossed, and after just looking at it a few times, he turned around and walked into the house: "Just eat meat buns this morning and have a bowl of porridge." In addition, he sent someone to tell the princess, saying that I would stay in the Zhuangzi for a few more days, and I would go back when Li Zhong and their movable characters were finished......"

……

In the city of Chang'an, the mansion of the Duke of Liang.

“…… I'm going to win? ”

Looking at the big piece of paper on the ground, Lu Shi blinked his eyes and asked with some curiosity.

This game seems to be quite interesting.

I thought I was just playing for the first time, and I definitely couldn't win the daughter who went back to my parents' house with the game, but I didn't expect to sit down for so long and really win?

"Yes, mother."

Nodding, Fang Fengzhu happily grabbed Lu's arm: "Isn't it just that you won?" My sister-in-law and I have nothing on us now, and we are bankrupt! ”

deliberately losing the game to make my mother happy, Fang Fengzhu is not easy.

"Bankrupt? What does bankruptcy mean? ”

"Uh......"

Frowning, Fang Fengzhu explained helplessly: "It's a new word taught to me by the king, which means that you have nothing and even owe money to others...... Anyway, the person who loses in this game is called bankrupt! ”

"Oh, I see."

A look of disapproval flashed in his eyes, but Lu still smiled and nodded.

However, compared to his daughter-in-law, who was still excitedly pondering the game, Lu Shi was much more self-controlled after all, and he had no intention of playing another game right away. He took his daughter's little hand and walked aside, and asked in a low voice, "Fengzhu, the king has been outside the city for a few days, but there is ...... between you."

"Mother, don't worry."

As soon as she heard her mother's worried tone, Fang Fengzhu understood, and quickly shook her head and whispered, "The king is just going to see the workshop over there...... We're pretty good with each other, really! ”

"Hmmm......"

Frowning, Lu Shi sighed and said, "Actually, I know it, but ...... Fengzhu, the days you got married in the past are not too short, why is this belly ...... This is no small matter! ”
