Chapter 565: Papermaking

The calculation of the ledger was carried out for a year.

It's not really because there are too many accounts, it's because the efficiency is too slow.

After Li Yu saw it, he smiled bitterly, feeling that he had to do something, and such efficiency was not beneficial to Tang Guo's various operations.

You must know that materials are needed to fight a war, and materials come out of the household, but if the household department does not liquidate the materials fast enough, it will affect the delivery of materials.

Li Yu had some calculations in his heart, but he didn't say it, so after earning a circle in the household department, he didn't stay in the household department for long, and directly entered the palace.

When he came to the palace, Li Yuan was a little curious.

"I heard that you went to the household department, how did you think of entering the palace?"

Li Yu said, "Father, after the sons went to the household department, they found that the efficiency of the household department was too slow, and the sons wanted to carry out some household reforms. ”

"Reform?" Li Yuan was puzzled, all the time, the household department has been like this, not only for them, but also for other countries, how to reform?

"Yes, Erchen wants to reform, of course, Erchen's reform is not only helpful to the household department, but also to our entire Datang, Erchen wants to make paper."

"Papermaking?" Li Yuan was very unfamiliar with the word Tang Yu said, and asked, "What is papermaking?" ”

Li Yu smiled bitterly, "Father, what I want to make is paper, paper can replace the bamboo tube, but just write on it directly with a brush, no need to carve the seal, it is very convenient, the bamboo tube can also be written directly, but it is too labor-intensive, and it is not easy to carry......"

Li Yu told Li Yuan about the situation of the paper, and Li Yuan listened to it in a fog, but when Li Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand and agreed.

"You can do whatever you want, just make it and let your father see it."

Li Yuan liked the things that Li Yu did in Shuozhou, and now Li Yu wants to drum up new things, even if he doesn't know it, he is also very curious.

With Li Yuan's approval, Li Yu immediately began to prepare, of course, since he wanted to prepare, he must need money, otherwise he would not have to apply to his father.

After getting the voucher for the appropriation, Li Yu came to the household department again.

"Lord Lu, this king wants to make paper, this is the money approved by my father, give it to this king."

Although he worked in the household department, he still had to follow the procedure, and Li Yu found that although many things in the Tang Kingdom had not been invented and manufactured, this system or something had been quite perfect.

Lu Tong looked at the voucher that Li Yu took, and then frowned, and said, "Lord Wang, although there is a holy certificate, the money you want to approve may be a waste of our Tang Kingdom's money, so this official can't give it to you." ”

Hearing this, Li Yu suddenly couldn't believe his eyes.

"Lord Lu, has my father agreed?" His father agreed, can Lu Tong refuse?

"The Holy Lord did agree, but as the head of the household, I have the right to make reasonable arrangements and distributions for the money of my Tang Kingdom."

Li Yu smiled bitterly, there are still such rules?

"Lord Lu, this king is working for the benefit of my Tang Dynasty, I want to make paper, this thing will definitely be successful, and then the entire household will benefit from it, if it fails, I am willing to pay the money to the household department, this is always okay, right?"

Li Yu was very depressed, why is it so troublesome to get money from the household department, even the future generations have never seen such a difficulty, the boss is split, and an accountant can still manage things?

But Li Yu is not good at bullying others, so he can only reason with Lu Tong.

After Lu Tong heard Li Yu's words, his expression was a little relieved, and he said, "Then the prince is going to make a note." ”

"No problem."

Lu Tong nodded, and then ordered someone to bring some silk cloth, before there was no paper, many of the certificates of the Tang Kingdom were written on the silk cloth, and there were many bamboo tubes, but the bamboo tubes were only used on some books because they were inconvenient to carry.

After the silk cloth was brought, Li Yu wrote the situation on it, and then signed and drew it, so that after some programs were written, Li Yu said, "Can you give me money?" ”

"Not today, wait for the prince to come again tomorrow, tomorrow I will call a few other people to come together, open the warehouse, and get money for you."

Hearing this, Li Yu almost collapsed, but in the face of a person like Lu Tong, he knew that it was useless to say anything, this kind of efficiency was really too bad.

-------------------------

Wing King's Mansion.

A spy suddenly came running in a hurry.

"Lord, a good thing, a good thing."

The spies looked excited, and Li Shang was a little strange, and asked, "What's the good thing?" ”

"The subordinates got the news, then Li Yu went to the household department yesterday, but today he took a batch of money from the household department, you said that he just became a household servant, and he began to make money for himself, is this good news for the prince?"

Hearing that Li Yu actually got money from the household department, Li Shang suddenly frowned, so even if Li Yu is short of money, I'm afraid he won't get money as soon as he goes to the household department, right?

Moreover, Lu Tong of the household department is known as an iron rooster, and he does not pull out a dime, so how easy is it to embezzle from the household department?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Do you know why Li Yu approved the money?"

"I heard that it is to make paper, but who knows what paper is, Lord Wang, this must be Li Yu's clever trick to cheat money."

Li Shang had never heard of paper, and after thinking about it, he also felt that Li Yu was probably cheating money in a clever name.

As soon as he thought of it, Li Shang smiled, "Okay, good, tomorrow morning, he looks good." ”

After several twists and turns, Li Yu finally got the money from the household department.

And after getting the money, he bought papermaking from the mall.

Papermaking is relatively easy, but if you don't know it, or if the technology is not mature, it is difficult to make good paper.

After buying papermaking, Li Yu studied it and made sure that he knew it, so he finally recruited some craftsmen.

When the craftsmen were recruited, Li Yu told them about the raw materials and process steps of papermaking, and then asked them to try it slowly.

This thing, Li Yu just knows the technology, I'm afraid it won't work once or twice, so I have to let these craftsmen try it slowly, as long as they follow the steps, it is not difficult to succeed.

It's just that when Li Yu was doing papermaking on his side, Li Shang suddenly came up early that day.

"Father, the son wants to impeach King Yongde for setting up a name and taking advantage of his position to defraud money from the household department."

Halfway through the morning dynasty, Li Shang stood up, Li Yu heard this, and shook his head a little speechlessly, this Li Shang had nothing to do all day, always staring at what he was doing.

Fortunately, this is not to cheat money as Li Shang said.

"I'm here to make paper, and when the paper is made, you'll know it." Li Yu retorted.
