Zhang Yuan, who had changed into court clothes, ran downstairs again without stopping.

It would not be wise to keep such a group of people who could ask for their heads at any time waiting.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuan bowed his head and bowed to Liu Che.

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction and said.

"It's a lot more pleasing to the eye."

It's pleasing to the eye, but the temperature of the body jumped up because of these two layers of clothes, Zhang Yuan didn't sweat because of nervousness in front of Liu Che for the first time, and this time the beads of sweat on his forehead were all hot.

"Your Majesty came to the minister's humble house, and the minister was very grateful.

The paper workshop has been built, and I ask Your Majesty to move to the backyard to take a look. ”

Zhang Yuan took the initiative to talk about it, hoping that the leaders who jumped down above would get out of the way after the inspection.

Following the direction pointed by Zhang Yuan's arm, Liu Che strode away with great interest.

Zhang Yuan took advantage of this gap and hurriedly bowed to Princess Pingyang, Tian Wei and Wei Qing, no matter what the relationship was, the etiquette could not be abolished.

The paper mill is not in the same place as before, but in the newly opened courtyard.

Of the twelve generals that Wei Qing helped Zhang Yuan get, ten of them were guarding around the paper mill, and the remaining two were at the main entrance.

Originally, Zhang Yuan thought that these twelve generals were his own people, but he didn't expect Liu Che to still be able to quietly enter his own home, it seems that the whole world is surnamed Liu.

Because the big woks that are burning to heat the raw materials are burning, the temperature of the paper mill is much higher than in other places.

After Liu Che entered, he felt a wave of heat coming to him, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Doctor, what are these things cooking on the fire?"

Zhang Yuan saw that these people in the original paper mill were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to move, so he personally stepped forward and lifted the lid.

"Your Majesty, look, these are all bamboos that have been shaved off their green skins.

After cooking, the hard bamboo becomes soft and the fibers inside are fine. ”

Liu Che obviously didn't understand, but so many people nodded here for the sake of face.

"Got it, let's continue to lead the way."

The paper mill is actually very simple, just a few pools, plus these woks, and a bunch of shelves, which are all hung with paper.

In fact, it doesn't look much different from the dyeing workshop in Shuzhong, and after Liu Che turned around, he quickly got a little bored.

In fact, the most important thing was that the heat drove Liu Che away, and after just such a while, Zhang Yuan was drenched in sweat, not to mention Liu Che and his party.

Those stubborn armored soldiers all looked a little shaky, and Princess Pingyang's usually cold face now looked red.

"Have you ever made all the papers I have settled?"

Zhang Yuan nodded with a smile and said.

"10,000 pieces of one-foot-square paper have been sealed, and the minister will send them to Chang'an City tomorrow."

Liu Che wanted such a large amount mainly not for daily needs, but to be able to transcribe all the classics in the palace on paper.

"Okay, that's it for today.

I moved to Dinghu Yanshou Palace, do you have anything else to see with your sister? ”

Princess Pingyang smiled indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I don't have anything to see, but I heard that the dishes of Zhang's Mansion can be called a must.

Just took this opportunity to have dinner in Zhang's mansion, I don't know if Dr. Qing will feel bothered. ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can eat in the minister's mansion, that is the supreme glory, how can the minister feel troublesome before he has time to be high-minded."

As an emperor, Liu Che naturally couldn't eat casually in the courtiers' homes, and the pity in his eyes quickly disappeared.

"Since my sister wants the usual deliciousness, then I left.

Prime Minister, do you follow me or do you also stay in Zhang's Mansion to eat? ”

Tian Wei looked at Zhang Yuan and said with a smile.

"No need, there will be many days to come to the Doctor's Mansion in the future.

I hope that by then, Doctor Qing will also treat the old ministers like he treats Her Royal Highness the eldest princess today. ”

"Nature."

Zhang Yuan said to Tian Wei.

No one asked Wei Qing's opinion, so Wei Qing had to glance at Zhang Yuan, and then left behind Liu Che's ass.

Liu Che's guards were divided into half to guard around Princess Pingyang.

Although there are still a lot of people around, Zhang Yuan still feels a little nervous at the moment, just like a man and a woman are in the same room.

"Isn't it possible for Dr. Qing to fulfill his plan to let me bask in the sun all day today?"

Zhang Yuan woke up suddenly, bowed his head and said to Princess Pingyang.

"Please forgive me, the princess, the main building is ventilated on all sides and is very shady.

The princess moved to the hall, and the courtier asked her to prepare some soup to quench your thirst. ”

The soup is naturally watermelon juice, and it is no wonder that Princess Pingyang has watermelon, and there are many in Pingyang Hou's mansion.

But what Zhang Yuan brought up was a mashed watermelon pulp, and the mashed ice cubes were added, in short, it was watermelon sorbet.

There is also a small wooden spoon next to it, when has Princess Pingyang seen this kind of fresh food, and she was immediately addicted.

After eating a bowl, I asked Zhang Yuan to get another bowl.

"It's a pity that Dr. Qing doesn't go to cook."

After eating two bowls, Princess Pingyang may feel a little lost, so she didn't ask for a third bowl.

The princess laughed, the minister is not boasting, if the minister is a cook, he can only satisfy the desires of one person.

However, in order to devote himself to the workers and peasants, he was able to enable all the peasants in the Han Dynasty to make progress.

Tenants who had been unable to eat now have surplus food, and scholars from poor families who could not read could also buy books because of the appearance of paper. ”

It was the first time that Zhang Yuan emphasized his importance in front of others, which was caused by Zhuo Wenjun's long journey to Chang'an and his failure to return, and since then Zhang Yuan has felt that a sense of security can only be obtained by his own efforts.

As a result, there was a look of appreciation in Princess Pingyang's eyes, the Liu family was naturally strong, and most of the people they appointed belonged to the people recommended by Mao Sui, and those who didn't speak would be discarded and no one would take care of them.

"Yes, the great Han literati should have your temperament.

Wei Qing will be fighting for the Han Dynasty in the future, but you, Zhang Yuan, will be able to support the people in the rich country.

I only hope that you can abide by your nature, be loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, and the marquis and the prime minister will be just around the corner. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't know how much he had heard these words, no matter how much he had heard, no matter how high the glory of a literati and martial artist was to be able to be enthroned, so as to shade his family.

Zhang Yuan is not so resistant to these things now, maybe only after sealing the marquis can he have the strength to break his wrist with a big man like Tian Wei.

"The minister should not forget his original intention and dedicate his all to His Majesty and the princess."

"Good!"
