Chapter 88

Qin Huaidao sent the prince away, and he returned to the study, where Qin Huaidao sat there making tea, thinking about this in his mind.

This time, it definitely has something to do with Li Zhi, if it has nothing to do with him, he doesn't believe it if he kills Qin Huaidao, and few people know the profits of the paper mill.

Even Yu Chi Baolin and Li Shimin may not have known about the profits of the paper mill before.

Now the news has been poked out, not only for himself, but also for himself, and to suppress the prince, wanting to kill two birds with one stone.

But what Qin Huaidao couldn't understand was that Li Zhi didn't have this strength at all, and it was impossible for him to spread this rumor to Chang'an in a short period of time.

Therefore, Qin Huaidao didn't know how Li Zhi operated.

A prince who lives in the palace every day, there are few people under his hands to do things for him!

Qin Huaidao sat there and thought for a while, and the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in.

"Young master, a person named Wei Ting asks to see!" The housekeeper said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Oh, please!" Qin Huaidao heard it, stood up, and went to the living room.

As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw a thin man standing there, looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the pillar of Qin Huaidao's living room, looking more than forty years old!

"Is there something important for Lord Wei to come to the door?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"I've seen Hu Guogong!" When Wei Ting heard the voice, he immediately reacted and saluted Qin Huaidao.

"You may be seated!" Qin Huaidao walked to the main seat and asked him to sit down, Wei Ting hugged his fists and bowed his hands, and then sat down, and the maid brought tea at this moment.

"I don't know if Master Wei is here, what's the matter?" Qin Huaidao looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I think Hu Guogong has also heard about it, but there is a rumor about Hu Guogong here in the capital!" Wei Ting nodded, looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile.

"Just knew, it's okay!" Qin Huaidao smiled indifferently.

Wei Ting saw it, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said: "Xiaguan was also entrusted by several family heads to come to make it clear to Hu Guogong that this matter has nothing to do with our family!" ”

"I know, this thing was not done by your family!" Qin Huaidao nodded and spoke.

When Qin Huaidao said this, Wei Ting was stunned, they were all worried that Qin Huaidao would misunderstand that the family did it, and when the time came, something would come out again, which would make the family even more headache, but they didn't expect Qin Huaidao to say that he knew that it was not the family's doing.

"I still believe the words of several family heads, since they have already been said, then it is definitely not you who did it, it is someone else!

Moreover, I also believe that Master Wei knows whose it is, I don't know, can you tell my father? Qin Huaidao looked at Wei Ting with a smile.

Wei Ting was looked at by Qin Huaidao and shook his head with a wry smile.

"It seems that Master Wei is very embarrassed, and my father also guessed it, but there are some things I don't understand!" When Qin Huaidao saw him like this, he knew that his guess was right.

"It is said that Hu Guogong is young and intelligent, and he acts steadily, when he sees it today, it is indeed worthy of his name, I hope that Hu Guogong will atone for his sins, today, Xia Guan is just coming to say on behalf of the family, and the others, Xia Guan is inconvenient!" Wei Ting said with a fist at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao nodded, Wei Ting was following King Wei, this Qin Huaidao knew very well.

This matter must also have something to do with King Wei, but what made Qin Huaidao puzzled was how Li Zhi could hook up with King Wei.

"Well, since it's clear, it's okay, my father believes in the family!" Qin Huaidao looked at Wei Ting with a smile and said.

"Then, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to bother more! Say goodbye first? Wei Ting stood up, since Qin Huaidao already knew, there was nothing to say, and his trip was in vain.

Qin Huaidao nodded, and Wei Ting left.

Qin Huaidao sneered, King Wei wants to deal with himself, there is no doubt about this, but does Li Zhi also have to deal with himself?

He is not thin on him, and he has not done anything unfavorable to Li Zhi, why did Li Zhi do this?

After coming out of printing, Li Zhi didn't come to his house!

Qin Huaidao sat in the living room, thinking about things with a teacup.

The butler came over at this moment, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huaidao looked at the housekeeper and asked.

"Young Master, there is a rumor outside that is not good for the young master!" The housekeeper looked at Qin Huaidao cautiously and said.

"I know, don't care, do your own thing, and tell the people in the house not to chew the root of your tongue outside!" Qin Huaidao nodded, soothed the housekeeper with a smile and said.

"It's good that the young master knows, these things, the old slave doesn't understand, but young master, please rest assured, no one in the house dares to go outside to chew the root of the tongue!" When the housekeeper saw that Qin Huaidao knew everything, he thought to himself that Qin Huaidao would definitely deal with this matter, and it would not be his turn to be anxious.

"Well, is there sake lees in the house?" Qin Huaidao nodded, looked at the housekeeper and asked.

Qin Huaidao remembered that at the end of last year, the government took stock, and Qin Huaidao remembered that there were more than ten loads.

"Distiller's lees? Yes, there is, but there are not many, the new wine will not be made until the autumn, and the current sake lees are still from last year, which was originally used to feed the livestock! The housekeeper heard it, thought about it carefully, and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, don't use those lees anywhere else, I'll use them, and I'll do it in the next two days, by the way, the lees aren't rotten, right?" Qin Huaidao explained to the housekeeper and asked at the same time.

"No, it was all dried before, otherwise it wouldn't have been kept for so long!" The butler affirmed.

Qin Huaidao nodded, and the housekeeper saw that Qin Huaidao had nothing else to order, so he went out.

The next day, Qin Huaidao still didn't go out, and continued to be busy planning in the house.

Some green bricks have been transported to the two homesteads, and the family members in the house have also gone over to help, preparing to build the outer wall first, and Qin Huaidao has no intention of stopping at all.

Now that it's winter, there are not a few months, and there is not much time to work, Qin Huaidao needs to hurry up and do as much as possible to make some houses, and the rest can only be arranged slowly!

At this time, in the palace, Li Tai, the king of Wei, had already taken the chapter and arrived at the Ganlu Palace.

In the past few days, he asked some poor officials to write to the emperor, saying that the price of paper was too expensive, and Qin Huaidao had made a lot of profits, and they needed to reduce the selling price.

Originally, Li Tai was going to let the officials of other families also read the book, but no one listened to him, no one read the book, Li Tai could only find those civil officials from the poor family who took refuge in him to write the book, and the chapter was sent, but there was no response.

And today's news in Chang'an City, fewer and fewer people are discussing this paper matter.

For the people, the paper has nothing to do with them, but for the scholars, they are grateful to Qin Huaidao.

After all, now they have paper to use, 2 yuan a large sheet, for most scholars, it is affordable, compared to before, I don't know how much better now.

Therefore, in the past two days, there have been many people queuing up for paper in Chang'an City, and even many civil officials and families will hire people to queue up to buy paper, selling 50,000 pieces a day, and they will be sold out before noon.

Now Li Tai is a little anxious, and wants to go to the book in person to discuss this matter with the emperor.

And Li Zhi in the palace is also anxious, things have passed for so many days, why has there been no news yet.

There is also the words of his father that day, which also made him frightened and afraid, but he still hopes that the thing he took the risk of doing can bring a little effect, and he can't let the entire court act as if nothing happened, so isn't his adventure blind?

"Father, my sons have heard a news from Chang'an City in the past two days, which is very bad for the court and our royal family, and I hope that my father will strictly investigate it!" Li Shimin had just taken the important ministers to the Ganlu Palace, and before he could sit down, Li Tai spoke first.

And Li Chengqian was just about to sit down, and he was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai want to talk about this, the rumors outside were almost gone, and Li Tai actually brought it up?

"Well, what rumors? Oh, I know, in the past two days, many officials have written and talked about this matter, but the ministers have not mentioned this, what's the matter? Qingque, tell your father! Li Shimin heard it and pretended to say casually.

When Li Tai heard Li Shimin ask, he immediately became energetic, and immediately talked about the rumors in Chang'an City!

After finishing speaking, Li Tai saw that Li Shimin was sitting there without moving, and the other ministers did not react, so he spoke again: "Father, Qin Huaidao is really inappropriate to do things, and at the same time build two mansions covering an area of 200 acres, where did his money come from, please also ask my father to strictly investigate,

In addition, the profits of the paper mill are amazing, and the establishment of the paper mill was originally to benefit the world's readers, so why should it earn the profits of the readers.

The minister thinks that this matter is extremely inappropriate, and the paper mill should immediately reduce the price, so that ordinary people in the world can afford to buy paper! ”

"I know the origin of the money for the construction of the house in Peping! As for the profit of the paper mill, is it that high? Li Shimin pretended to be confused and looked at Li Tai and asked.

"It's true!" Li Tai said with great certainty.

"Well, how much paper did you just sell, and you didn't make any money back, so you counted the profits of the paper mill?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Tai and asked.

"Huh?" Li Tai heard it and looked at Li Shimin a little confused.
