If you say that, I don't have to entertain you well today.

Otherwise, you'll have to complain and say that it's no good to do me a favor. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and patted Wei Qing's shoulder, Wei Qing also laughed, and the two walked in holding each other's shoulders.

When he arrived at the secret place, Zhang Yuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he pulled Wei Qing and sat down together.

"Brother Qing, I want to recruit some generals."

Zhang Yuan said to Wei Qing very cautiously.

Wei Qing didn't react to Zhang Yuan's idea.

"As long as Your Majesty agrees to this matter, Brother Yuan, you can recruit some generals.

I thought about persuading you to mention this matter before Your Majesty was concerned, if it were someone else, I am afraid that the house would have raised some generals a long time ago. ”

"So how do I do that? After all, I don't know anything about it. ”

Wei Qing thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Yuan.

"I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll meet Your Majesty when I return to Chang'an tomorrow.

The reason is that the paper mill needs to be protected.

Shao Shangzao can have twelve generals, and I will go to the Zhongjun Mansion tomorrow to help my brother choose some available people. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, Wei Qing would definitely be able to reassure him.

"Well, remember to keep the foundation clean, although there are no secrets in the house, I don't want to be disturbed by others all day long."

Wei Qing didn't continue to say anything, but he took Zhang Yuan's request to heart.

"By the way, the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family went to Chang'an to see the graphite mine mentioned by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, why didn't the elder brother bring it up before, but let Zhuo Wangsun take advantage of it?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and explained.

"The original map that recorded the mineral deposits was about to be forgotten by me, and it was Zhuo Wenjun who came to beg me to help the Zhuo family solve their difficulties, and then I remembered it.

You see, now I have to think about printing because I want to make paper, and I have already been a doppelganger, how can I still have the leisure to work on graphite mines, it is better to take Zhuo Wenjun's face and pull the Zhuo family. ”

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that the graphite ore mined will be divided between you, Your Highness and the Zhuo family.

The Zhuo family only has one percent, sixty percent is His Royal Highness, and the remaining thirty percent is yours.

The Zhuo family is responsible for all the mining and transportation, and His Royal Highness will send people to watch in Shu County, on the one hand, to deter others, and on the other hand, to keep an eye on Zhuo Wangsun. ”

"Oh? The princess is still thinking about me, this thirty percent is not too little, I'm afraid that some people will be red at that time. ”

"It's okay, even His Majesty can't do anything to his sister in the realm of the Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother loves this eldest princess the most, not to mention that now the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is controlled by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, deeply feeling that this woman was terrible.

Princess Pingyang is about the same age as Zhang Yuan, but she plays the power trick perfectly, and ten more Zhang Yuan can't fight a Pingyang princess.

"That's good, but I'm worried that there won't be a place to store so much graphite."

"It's not a problem, it's a big deal that you can trouble Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to sell it directly, and then sit at home and wait to collect the money."

"It's a good feeling."

"Haha."

The two of them talked and laughed, which made Zhuo Wenjun standing on the other main building extremely envious.

Staying now, Zhuo Wenjun is absolutely in the late stage of social phobia, a 100% otaku.

Wei Qing only stayed in Zhang's mansion for one night, and left on horseback early the next morning.

Zhang Yuan summoned Lao Zhao and them, and began to continue to build the wall along the original outer wall, to the left and right sides and the rear.

Race the horse first enclosure.

Build this wall first, and then think about fleshing out the contents.

If each of the more than 200 people in the family could have a yard to live in, then Zhang Yuan would be basically satisfied.

Of course, it must take a long time to build a house, and Zhang Yuan can't let the emperor wait in a hurry.

Except for the necessary bricklayer workers in the house, all the remaining males make paper in the backyard.

The thousands of acres of fertile land in front of the door were handed over to half of the children, and the servants were busy raising pigs, sheep, chickens, and silkworms.

Zhuo Wenjun didn't stay at home for a few days, and Princess Pingyang sent a team of people to escort Zhuo Wenjun to Shu County, and she might not be able to come back with her until the first batch of graphite mines were transported back to Chang'an.

Slowly it is about to enter summer again, a favorite season of Zhang Yuan.

The summer day of Dahan is actually not so hot, as long as everyone is like Zhang Yuan in shorts and shirtless, and then prepare a deck chair made of green bamboo, plus chilled watermelon juice.

This kind of day is not too comfortable, but most people who think they have status always have to maintain their face, and they have to wear two layers of clothes when they travel in the summer, which is not to find their own guilt.

Just when Zhang Yuan was living a fairy-like life, the time to come finally came.

On this day, Zhang Yuan, as usual, wore coarse linen shorts, moved a recliner in a ventilated place, and asked Xiaoya to prepare watermelon juice, and then put the blindfold he made on his head, and lay on the recliner to feel the temperature of the wind.

Before you know it, all that is quiet is the sound of birds.

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that someone was kicking him, and subconsciously thought that Xiaoqing was playing with him.

"Don't make a fuss, it's okay to stay where it's cool."

"I think the whole Zhang Mansion is the coolest here, where do you think I should go?"

Zhang Yuan was startled, took the blindfold off his head, and saw Liu Cheren squatting next to the recliner looking at Zhang Yuan.

Behind Liu Che is a team of armor soldiers, and there are Wei Qing, Tian Wei, and Princess Pingyang standing beside him.

Zhang Yuan rolled down from the recliner and knelt on the ground in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the minister did not know that His Majesty was here, please forgive your Majesty for the sins of the minister."

Liu Che looked at Zhang Yuan and smiled, then turned back to Princess Pingyang and asked.

"Sister, is my face so terrifying?

When Dr. Qing saw me, he was as frightened as if he had seen a ghost. ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and said slowly.

"Your Majesty has a kind face, how can it be terrible?

Doctor Qing was so frightened that he was only because he had already regarded His Majesty as the son of heaven in his heart, so he was afraid of angering Tianyan. ”

Ever since Liu Che met Dong Zhongshu, there have always been people inside and outside the court who have begun to deify Liu Che.

Princess Pingyang, a princess who is only for the Liu family through and through, naturally hopes to see the royal family deified, so that no family will still think that the Liu family is still from a reckless background like them.

"Your Majesty, what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said is that the minister is afraid of angering Tianyan, and I hope that Your Majesty can forgive the minister."

Liu Che smiled noncommittally.

"Get up, and if you are sinned, it will be cured too soon.

Hurry up and put on your clothes, now that you look like this, you can see it to others, and I thought that the doctors of the Han Dynasty were like this. ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Yuan got the answer and hurriedly ran upstairs to change clothes.
