Chapter 256 - On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the banquet of the Taiwei Mansion
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the New Year was about to begin, and the streets of Huijicheng were more lively than before, and families were ready to have a good year. Under Xiang Yu's chairmanship, the Ministry of Industry also officially began to manufacture paper and print books. Xiang Yu even went to Lu Mansion in person with a piece of paper to discuss business with Lu Junxing.
After the experiment, Lu Junxing was amazed by the incomparably white paper in front of him, and his heart was overjoyed. Seeing this, Xiang Yu naturally struck while the iron was hot, and Lu Junxing naturally agreed happily, even if he invested 100,000 taels of silver, he planned to ask Xiang Yu for 200,000 pieces of paper. When Xiang Yu heard this, he was also stunned, I have to be obedient, 200,000 pieces of paper, 100,000 taels of silver? This paper is too valuable, isn't it?
Lu Junxing saw that Xiang Yu didn't speak, thinking that it was because the money was less, even if the price was increased to 150,000 taels of silver, and said with a sad face, no matter how much he had no money, he hoped that Xiang Yu could be cheaper.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu agreed even if he agreed at the price of 100,000 taels of silver, and the other 50,000 taels of silver would be regarded as his own! and ordered it to only be exported, and 200,000 pieces of paper can only be handed over next year. As for the price, it is naturally Lu Junxing who has the final say, but the profit from selling has to be divided into three layers!
Lu Junxing was surprised and happy when he heard this, and even if he agreed. In his opinion, this business is very cost-effective! Although it is not allowed to sell in Jiangdong, but out of Jiangdong, it is equivalent to a monopoly by oneself, the price is also self-set, and he has seventy percent of the profit, so he doesn't make a lot of money? !
Xiang Yu looked at Lu Junxing and almost laughed out loud. 200,000 pieces of paper, 100,000 taels of silver, whoever doesn't do this business is a fool! But after thinking about it, in fact, Lu Junxing is also quite smart, after all, paper is a rare thing in this era. What's more, hundreds of years later, better quality rice paper?
After negotiating the first big order, Xiang Yu ordered the Ministry of Engineering to hurry up. After Xu Guangqi and others received the order, they naturally worked hard to produce. After all, the new official has three fires in office, and if he doesn't make some achievements, he is afraid that people will look down on him.
Early in the morning, Xiang Yu went down to the morning court, and even dragged Xu Huang and others back to their homes and set up a banquet to entertain everyone. When everyone heard this, they naturally did not refuse. Originally, Zhao Yun was also called, but Zhao Yun refused to go with him.
"Alas, King Xiang, don't worry about Zilong, Zilong doesn't know what's wrong these days, and he always looks melancholy!" Qin Ming on the side, seeing this, was afraid of losing Xiang Yu's face, so he immediately explained to Zhao Yun.
In this regard, Xiang Yu shook his head with a smile, indicating that he did not go to his heart.
"Hahaha, in my opinion, Zilong is probably a girl he has a crush on! In unrequited love too! ”
When Meng Heng said this, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Meng Puyu, Meng Puyu, I think it's you, right?" Xu Huang, who is having fun with Meng Heng on weekdays, is also opening his mouth at the moment.
"Poof, Gongming, you're hurting me again?!"
"Hahaha, who doesn't know that little Jiujiu of your Meng Puyu?"
The generals were joking all the way, and Xiang Yu watched everyone relax and didn't say much. After a while, they arrived in front of the Taiwei's mansion. At this moment, Yu Ji and Xiong Yun had already greeted everyone who came to the banquet at the gate of the mansion, after all, Xiang Yu had already prepared for the banquet three days ago, and he was waiting to invite everyone to the banquet today.
When Yu Ziqi looked at it, he stepped forward and said, "Yo, everyone, look, the two princesses have been waiting for the king to come back for a long time!" ”
As soon as Yu Ziqi screamed like this, everyone began to coax. The ears of the second daughter turned red.
"The eldest brother is all Hou Ye, and he is still so cheesy!" Yu Ji immediately scolded the eldest brother in front of him.
"Hahaha! I am not only the Hou Ye, but also the king's brother-in-law! Isn't that right, the king? Yu Ziqi immediately laughed proudly.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he was immediately full of black lines, but he didn't expect that his two brothers-in-law would not let him worry about it!
In fact, only Yu Ziqi dared to make this joke with Xiang Yu. After all, if everyone wants to talk about qualifications, I am afraid that he is the oldest in the Yuzi period! When Xiang Yu raised an army against Qin, he was already his left and right arms, and his sister Yu Ji became Xiang Yu's wife again, and Yu Ziqi was naturally Xiang Yu's brother-in-law.
"Alright, alright! Why are you so nervous?! Don't you want to eat anymore, if you don't eat, you will leave quickly. ”
As soon as everyone saw that Xiang Yu had spoken, they immediately stopped talking nonsense, and entered the house one after another to take a seat, only to find that Liu Ru was also there, Xiang Yu was a little surprised, but Yu Ji told him that he had called for help, and Xiang Yu didn't ask much. After everyone sat down, after getting an order from Xiang Yu, they began to move their chopsticks.
At this moment, Yu Ji, who was sitting next to Xiang Yu, whispered something in Xiang Yu's ear, Xiang Yu was stunned at first, and then issued an order to the system to detect Liu Ruyi's five dimensions.
"Ding! Liu Rushi: Force: 29, Intelligence: 88, Command: 25, Internal Affairs: 73, Charisma 98.
"Well, yes, not only is he beautiful, but his intelligence is also about to catch up with a second-rate strategist! Worthy of Zhao Yun! Xiang Yu looked at the data and immediately said secretly.
"Big bull, big bull! Don't eat it, come here! ”
Zhang Daniu, who was still gnawing on the chicken leg below, heard Xiang Yu call himself, and immediately put down the chicken leg in his hand and stepped forward.
"Father, what do you call me?"
"Well, you go to General Zhao Yun's mansion and invite him over, just say that this king means!"
"Huh? That chicken leg ......"
Seeing this, Xiang Yu immediately smiled and said, "Go quickly!" I'll watch the chicken legs for you, are you worried about not having chicken legs to eat when you do good deeds? ”
"Okay!" After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, even if he ran out, he didn't forget to take a chicken leg before leaving, and then ran to eat.
Xiang Yu looked at Zhang Daniu's appearance, he was angry and funny.
Under the temptation of chicken legs, Zhang Daniu ran back in less than a stick of incense, and of course Zhao Yun also followed him and entered the Taiwei Mansion together. When everyone saw Zhao Yun coming, they also greeted each other.
Zhang Daniu took Zhao Yun to Xiang Yu, then returned to the table and continued to nibble on the chicken legs.
"King Xiang, what is the matter with you looking for clouds?" Zhao Yun arched his hand.
"It's okay, sit down first."
Xiang Yu looked at Zhao Yun, who was sitting still, and asked, "Zilong, I think you are also in your early twenties this year, it's time to find a wife and marry for a hundred years." ”
"Well, this ......" When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately spit out a little.
"What do you think of Miss Liu?" Xiang Yu asked tentatively.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately looked up at Liu Ruyi, only to see that Liu Ruis was also looking at him, the two looked at each other like this, and immediately their faces were hot, and they lowered their heads again.
"It's good, it's good."
"Good! Since you also think that Miss Liu is good, how about this king give you to marry Miss Liu? ”
Xiang Yu thought that Zhao Yun would agree, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Yun jumped up with a "ho", and immediately knelt down and said: "Please also ask the king to take back his life, Zilong doesn't want to take his wife." ”
