There are some things that Li Yuanjia can't say so clearly to Yu Wenshi.

He couldn't tell his uncle what the improvement of papermaking meant or how important it was to the world!

But on the other hand, he can't just say that I just want to be in business.

Li Yuanjia is a prince anyway, maybe he can do it with a thick skin, but it's inconvenient to say this with a thick skin. So he had already guessed that Yu Wenshi and he would come, so he directly turned on the flickering mode: "Uncle, do you know how much I spend a year to maintain a paper workshop?" ”

"Two hundred? Or three hundred? ”

Subconsciously pursed his lips, Yu Wenshi asked lightly.

In his heart, Yu Wenshi felt that his nephew was really a little stingy - a paper workshop, just a few people, how much money can it cost a year? As for saying that if you don't sell paper, you can't support it?

"Uh, this ......"

Rubbing his nose, Li Yuanjia laughed dryly and said, "Uncle, my papermaking workshop may cost a little more, and it will take at least 2,000 yuan a year to maintain it!" ”

"What? How much do you say? ”

"Two thousand, no less!"

Looking at Yu Wenshi with an unbelievable face, Li Yuanjia still had a smile on his face, and said emphatically again.

Li Yuanjia didn't add any water to this number. Although there are only about ten people in the papermaking workshop now, it seems that it doesn't cost a few dollars a year, and two or three hundred yuan will reach the sky, but don't forget that the entire workshop has just been built, and the standard of construction according to Li Yuanjia's requirements is very high, and it is completely according to the level of producing 200,000 pieces of paper per year.

He has to calculate this cost, right?

And as in any industry in the future, as soon as the scale of this manufacturing increases, the cost of various expenses will naturally rise, as well as the fuel cost of boiling pulp......

Two thousand a year, you can really spend it!

So after roughly explaining to his uncle, Yu Wenshi asked helplessly: "King, what are you ...... What do you do with so much blank paper? The entire palace combined, can you use up 2,000 in a year? ”

In these years, paper was expensive, and even ordinary rich families could not afford it, and the officials of the court and the general large families had to calculate and use it. Of course, a prince like Li Yuanjia is not, but how much can he use in a year alone? Five hundred? Or a thousand? Even if the palace has other purposes, such as bookkeeping or something, 2,000 sheets are enough, right?

You know, if the paper coming out of the workshop is cut to the size of a book, one can be divided into a dozen.

"Hehe, the problem is that it's not just me who uses it."

Blinking, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "I'll do the math with you!" Your Majesty, I want to send 10,000 pieces a year, His Royal Highness the Prince, your uncle, and Fang Xianggong's side, I will also send at least 2,000 copies a year, right? There will definitely be other human relations in the future...... This year, 20,000 are gone! ”

“……”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Yu Wenshi was also speechless.

Although he wanted to say that you don't need to send them over there, there will be at least two thousand left, but after opening his mouth, Yu Wenshi swallowed this sentence back.

This is the nephew's heart, and Yu Wenshi does not want to refuse.

But at this moment, he suddenly understood one thing, that is, no matter what he said, I am afraid that it will be difficult to dispel the idea of his nephew to open a paper shop. So after being silent for a long time, Yu Wenshi finally said: "In that case, I'll find someone to buy this shop for you!" In the future, your workshop will just send the paper over, and then I will ask him to send you the money back every month! ”

"Uh......"

As soon as he heard Yu Wenshi and what he said, Li Yuanjia immediately understood what he meant.

"Alright, that's it!"

Seeing that Li Yuanjia frowned, as if he wanted to say something, Yu Wenshi immediately said, "Since I can't stop you, then I have to cover it up, right?" Otherwise, if you are a prince who opens a shop so blatantly, I am afraid that someone will be impeached the next day! ”

"Impeachment? Is that an exaggeration? ”

After hearing these words, Li Yuanjia was stunned, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

"Huh."

Smiling at him, Yu Wenshi didn't have a specific explanation, but that expression said it all. So Li Yuanjia was not allowed to say anything at all, he had already stood up: "Okay, I'll let someone do this when I go back, and you don't have to worry about it...... Have you thought about it, my lord? Once that store opens, the future will ...... You're not the same person you used to be! ”

"Uncle, I've figured it out!"

Li Yuanjia was also silent for a moment, and then a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "That's just that I'm different in the eyes of others, but in fact, I'm still me, and I won't change anything because of this......"

……

After respectfully sending off Yu Wenshi and others, Li Yuanjia stood in place for a while, and then let out a long breath.

Reborn in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if it was his great luck or a kind of bondage, in short, from the day he was reborn, Li Yuanjia's body was tied with shackles one after another, and he couldn't move. Now I finally feel that the biggest shackles have finally been broken, and it turns out that it is not so easy to do something.

"It's hard......"

"King, Li Zhong and Ma Liang ask to meet!"

Li Yuanjia just sighed lightly and muttered two words in a low voice, and the maid Liu Mei suddenly walked in from outside and said respectfully.

"Oh? The two of them? ”

First frowned, and then suddenly remembered what he had told them to do before, Li Yuanjia's eyes suddenly lit up: "Quick, let them in!" ”

"Yes, my lord."

Li Yuanjia seemed to be in a good mood in front of him, and Liu Mei hurriedly went out and called the two in.

"Little Li Zhong (Ma Liang), I've seen the king!"

"Alright, let's all get up!"

Seeing that Ma Liang walked in empty-handed, and Li Zhong was holding a small bag, Li Yuanjia knew that he might have guessed correctly, and after letting the two of them get up, he hurriedly asked, "Li Zhong, but what you did has a result?" ”

"Yes, King!"

Li Zhong also looked quite excited, and immediately put the bag in his hand with both hands and said: "Fortunately, we have finally completed the mission!" A hundred books in total, and all the results are already all here! ”

"Good! Well done! ”

Seeing Li Zhong's excited face, faintly and proudly, Li Yuanjia naturally praised without hesitation.

He knew that this job was really hard to do!

Although the number of books in these years is not too many, and many of them are only a few thousand words, the number of 100 books is quite amazing. More than 30 people have to be counted within three months, which is definitely to make Li Zhong and them exhaust every cent of their energy!

But......

This ultra-simple version of the Tang Hanwang dictionary is finally off to a good start.
