Li Yuanjia, who has been a bachelor for two lifetimes and is still waiting for his first wife in this life, it is difficult to understand the mood of Li Shimin, who is forty years old this year.

The eldest grandson married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, gave birth to his first child at the age of eighteen, and then experienced a series of hardships and dangers such as opposing the Sui, founding the country, killing his brother and killing his brother, and forcing his father to abdicate, and gave birth to seven children together......

There is no substitute for this kind of feeling.

Therefore, from no one to think of the eldest grandson, he was saddened, and then he was angry with his younger brother, and his face began to be unkind to this kind of brain circuit, even if Li Yuanjia was a psychiatrist in his last life, he couldn't guess it!

Fortunately, I can't guess Lao Li's mentality, but Li Yuanjia still has the ability to observe words and feelings, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly shrunk his neck: "Second brother, you try my ink, paper and inkstone first...... When you're done, I'll have something good to offer! ”

"Huh? And also? ”

Li Shimin subconsciously glanced at the boxes, and sure enough, there were still two that had not been opened.

Curiosity finally overwhelmed the unhappiness, Li Shimin squinted his eyes, quietly picked up the wolf hair in his hand, and began to write his favorite flying white on the white paper that Li Yuanjia brought him: "Gao Xuan is ambiguous in spring, and the pavilion is beautiful in the morning light." Tongting Flying Color, Cui Hao Yao Mingjue ......"

A poem "Yuan Ri" is Li Shimin's own poem.

Of course, Li Yuanjia didn't know, so after reading the first four sentences, he immediately clapped his hands: "Good words!" However, the younger brother felt that this poem was written, but it covered the second brother's Feibai...... Tsk, good poetry! What a poem! ”

In all fairness, in fact, Li Yuanjia doesn't like Feibai.

Perhaps because later generations were accustomed to seeing Songti characters, Heiti characters and italic characters, Li Yuanjia preferred boxy and well-behaved characters, and this preconceived idea made him unable to accept the gorgeous and impractical Feibai, and also appreciated the cursive and line calligraphy of the ancients. Later, for the sake of movable type printing, he deliberately began to change his calligraphy style, and began to move closer to the standard Song style little by little, until now most of the progress has passed......

But for Li Shimin's poems, Li Yuanjia still admires them very much.

Of course, the so-called admiration here is not to say how good Tang Taizong's poems are, and to be able to break their wrists with those poetry bigwigs in the Tang Dynasty or something, purely because Li Shimin's poetry skills are completely beyond Li Yuanjia's expectations!

To put it bluntly, it's still preconceived notions.

When I didn't know it before, Li Yuanjia thought that his cheap second brother should be an emperor immediately, a master of power and scheming, and his understanding of literature or something was the level of an ordinary literati. I didn't expect to hear the poem "Ci Xiao Yu" written by Li Shimin two years ago, and I realized that "the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen" turned out to be his handwriting!

Although "Wind Knows the Strength of the Grass" is not his first work, it is quite remarkable to be able to use it well, at least it is not a star and a half compared to Li Yuanjia!

So if you don't compare with Brother Li and Brother Du, as an emperor, and an emperor who is famous in history, and whose main energy and time are spent on governing the country, intrigue, and even women, Li Shimin can write good poems, which has made Li Yuanjia admire him very much......

"This paper...... Not bad! ”

After writing two lines, although he was quite surprised in his heart, Li Shimin's face just nodded with a chuckle: "The ink is condensed on the paper but not dispersed, and the shade is appropriate...... Good paper! Even if it is compared to the tribute of the Li family's paper mill, it is not much worse...... No, it's even better! ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "This is the paper made by your paper workshop and planned to be sold in Chang'an and Luoyang?" ”

"Ahem, it was made by Lingkui's workshop."

After listening to the emperor's words, Li Yuanjia suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have already given him the papermaking workshop in Luzhou...... Second brother, I don't plan to sell paper in Chang'an, but the paper I made is quite surplus, and I plan to dedicate some ...... to the second brother."

"Hehe, do you want to give some more to your uncle and Wei Guogong?"

Before Li Yuanjia finished speaking, the emperor sneered: "Then if other people know this kind of paper that is no less than the tribute of the Li family's paper mill, and want to ask for it, they must give you a ...... It's called the cost price, right? ”

"Uh......"

Subconsciously shrunk his neck, Li Yuanjia didn't dare to continue to speak, but his expression immediately became panicked.

This routine, anyway, is exactly the same as when he sold thirteen incense, if Li Yuanjia insists that it is an "exchange" between friends and only charges some cost price, then it is really insulting the emperor's IQ - it is one thing for you to take advantage of loopholes to do these things, but it is another thing to annoy Li Shimin.

Looking at Li Yuanjia's frightened look, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Of course he didn't want Li Yuanjia to do business, after all, he was a dignified prince, and doing this kind of thing would definitely disgrace the royal family. However, Li Shimin also knows that there are not a few people who do business in the name of the Chinese martial arts of this dynasty, and as long as they are not put on the surface, no one will say anything.

Not to mention......

It's better to focus on making money than to think about other things, right?

After a deep groan, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't care about you, just send me two boxes of paper every year in the future." ”

After using it, he was also quite satisfied with the new paper sent by Li Yuanjia.

Therefore, opening his mouth is 10,000 pieces of white paper every year, and Li Yuanjia, who was suddenly distressed, was trembling for a while - although Wang Pu's production efficiency is not low, at least it must be higher than the Li family paper mill that can only supply 20,000 pieces of top-quality white paper every year, but with the current scale of the paper mill outside Chang'an, it can only make 40,000 or 50,000 pieces a year!

This emperor opened his mouth and went directly to one-fifth of the production capacity!

Thinking about it again, since it was given to the emperor, then Uncle and Fang Xuanling couldn't be stingy, basically a small half of the dry shares of the paper mill were sent out like this!

Seeing his brother's distressed appearance, Li Shimin was also secretly amused.

He uses the top white paper of the Li family paper mill all the year round, can he still not know the cost of this thing? It takes labor, time, waste materials, and dozens of pieces of paper to make one, and if it is sold normally, it must be an amazing price! So I want 10,000 pieces a year to open my mouth, and it is estimated that Li Yuanjia, this kid, is a big loss!

However, in order to teach him a lesson, Li Shimin naturally did not plan to buy it with the same money as he did with the Li family's paper mill.

And you have to give money for your brother's things, how can this make sense!

The relieved emperor drank a sip of warm goat's milk, and for a while forgot to ask what was in the other two boxes, but remembered what Li Yuanjia said just now. So he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "By the way, what did you just say you wanted me to do?" ”

"Huh? Oh, kapok! I want Kapok from Gaochangguo's tribute! ”

Li Yuanjia, who came back to his senses, shook his head and hurriedly said: "Second brother, in addition to the seeds of kapok, I also want the farmer who can serve kapok, and it is best to give it to me......
