Chapter 89

Li Shimin asked, Li Tai didn't know how to answer, he didn't make back the capital, now let's talk about profits?

"Your Majesty, Erchen doesn't know how much profit there is on the paper mill side, but according to Erchen's investigation, the cost of the paper mill is very small now.

And every day they can produce hundreds of thousands of pieces of paper, worth five or six hundred yuan, one or two thousand yuan a month, the paper mill does not need much cost, so calculated, the paper mill can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year, which is very inappropriate.

Now I can't afford to buy paper for many children of poor families, so it is very unfavorable for children of poor families to participate in the imperial examination, and I hope that my father can order the paper mill to reduce the price and sell paper! Although Li Tai was stunned for a moment, he still insisted on his opinion.

When Li Shimin heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian immediately stood up.

"Father, the fourth brother's investigation, is not detailed, the paper mill has invested a total of about 20,000 yuan, every month, it also needs to cost five or six thousand, in addition, the cost of land, and in winter, it cannot be produced.

The time that can't be produced in winter is about 4 months, and the production time of a year is only 8 months, and the income is not as high as the fourth brother said! Li Chengqian stood there and reported to Li Shimin,

Li Tai was a little surprised, he didn't know that the paper mill couldn't produce in winter!

"Your Majesty, if as His Royal Highness said, the profit of the paper mill is not high, there is no need to reduce the price, if you need to expand production in the future, of course, you can consider reducing the price, but now the cost has not been recovered, and the price should not be reduced!" The eldest grandson Wuji also stood up at this moment and reported to Li Shimin.

Li Tai looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a little anger in his heart at the moment, he was also his own nephew, and he respected him very much, why did he only have the prince in his eyes.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"..

The other ministers also immediately stood up and said, but Wei Chi Jingde did not stand up, after all, they also had a part in this matter.

"Since this matter, everyone thinks that the price should not be reduced, then the price will not be reduced, this matter is decided, Qingque, do you have anything else?" Li Shimin sat there, looked at Li Tai, the king of Wei, and asked.

Li Tai was depressed in his heart, he just said it, and now Li Shimin has set the tone, that is to say, the rumors he spread before are completely useless.

And what puzzled Li Tai was, why didn't anyone stand up for those officials of the family?

Now they are attacking Qin Huaidao and the crown prince, those officials of the family are all following themselves, why did they stop attacking the prince this time?

However, being depressed is depressed, and now he has no better way, so he can only shake his head and say: "Back to my father, there is nothing else to do with my son." ”

"Well, then you can go out first! I and the other ministers have important matters to discuss! Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with a smile and said.

Li Tai nodded, bowed his hand to Li Shimin, and then bowed his hand to the crown prince, and withdrew.

Li Shimin was discussing things with those ministers in the study.

More than an hour later, those ministers also came out of the Ganlu Palace, and in the study, there were only two left, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son.

"This matter, Pepin's idea, seems to be right!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"Erchen also thinks it's right, and the tools on the paper mill, father, you have also seen, a large number of new tools, are able to improve the production speed of the paper mill, these tools can greatly save costs, this money, Erchen thinks, the paper mill should also earn, or directly, they should share some!" Li Chengqian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, yes, and, what's the key, you know?" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Now the family can't mess up, if the price is reduced, the family may be in a hurry, and when the time comes, they will make the court unstable!" Li Chengqian thought about it for a moment and spoke.

"Hmmm! That's it, Pepping also knows, so he insists on not reducing the price, and it is also out of this consideration that Pepin, a child, still sees the overall situation very thoroughly.

If he relents and lowers the price, then I may immediately receive a large number of impeachment notes, and if I don't deal with Pepin, then many ministers will hang up and leave! Li Shimin sat there, touched his beard, and said with satisfaction.

"Yes, Erchen also thought of it later, and now that a balance has been formed, this balance should not be broken! Otherwise, there will be chaos! Li Chengqian nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"It's not bad that you can think of that, huh! It's okay, walk around with Pepin more! He'll be helpful to you! The last time you went to the Peping Mansion to talk about that matter, I was very pleased, and in the future, there will be no more mustards. Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said softly.

"Yes, Erchen understands!" Li Chengqian nodded and said,

In his heart, he didn't think so, he knew that he couldn't get too close to Qin Huaidao, if he wanted to leave this person for his own use, he had to stay away from him, and it was best to keep a proper distance, otherwise, Qin Huaidao might be killed.

"Well, have you investigated this matter?" Li Shimin sat there and continued to ask,

Li Chengqian didn't speak, and Li Shimin sighed when he saw him like this, knowing that he must have found out something.

"He's still young, if you are a big brother, you will tolerate it once!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian nodded helplessly, still didn't speak, although he was aggrieved in his heart, but he knew that it was useless to show it, and he couldn't get any pity.

"Okay, by the way, do you have any opinion on the construction of the mansion in Peping?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"This, Erchen doesn't have it, after all, he wants to build these two mansions!" Li Chengqian hadn't thought about this question, and now Li Shimin asked this, which caught him a little off guard.

"This kid is making mistakes in his own way, he's doing it on purpose!" Li Shimin smiled and spoke.

"Deliberately?" Li Chengqian was puzzled.

"Well, think about it slowly, this kid is very smart!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian nodded.

On Qin Huaidao's side, Qin Huaidao had just finished practicing martial arts, and Wu Mei was washing Qin Huaidao's body.

"Master, the rumors outside seem to have stopped, and the master didn't seem to be worried at all before?" Wu Mei wiped Qin Huaidao and asked Qin Huaidao.

"Worried about what? Paper is so cheap, and you want me to lower the price, is it possible? Profit? Hmph, who will do things without profits, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is for profit! Qin Huaidao stood there and said confidently.

"Master, don't say this, sir, you are a scholar!" Wu Mei heard it and said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Master, I'm also a general!" Qin Huaidao couldn't help laughing, and Wu Mei was also laughing behind him.

"Master, then, the house, let's continue to build it, build it better!" Wu Mei whispered to Qin Huaidao from behind.

"Of course, not only must it be built, but I will also build the best and most luxurious mansion in Chang'an!" Qin Huaidao smiled proudly, and Wu Mei also smiled.

After Wu Mei dressed Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao came out, and Wu Mei also came out, the weather outside was very hot, and it looked like it was time for heavy rain.

"Big brother, big brother, eat lotus seeds!" At this time, Qin Jiao came running from a distance, holding a large handful of fresh lotus seeds in her hand, which had not yet matured, and it was very sweet to eat at this time.

"Well, give my brother a taste!" Qin Huaidao took it with a smile, and Qin Shandao also ran over, also holding a handful in his hand.

"Who picked it for you? You are not allowed to go into the water yourselves! Qin Huaidao took the lotus seed and gave it to Wu Mei, peeled it and ate it himself.

"It's from the family, isn't it delicious?" Qin Jiao looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked.

"Well, it's delicious! Jiao'er, in the future, you have to follow Sister-in-law Wu to learn from Sister-in-law, you can't do it if you don't learn this, do you hear? Qin Huaidao thought of this, and said to Qin Jiao.

"Huh?" Qin Jiao heard it and made a bitter face.

"Jiao'er, learn from your sister-in-law, make sure you can learn!" Wu Mei also took Qin Jiao's hand and said.

"Oh, big brother, I don't want to learn!" Qin Jiao looked at Qin Huaidao and said coquettishly.

"That's not possible, when the time comes, if you want to get married, you can't let people say that the girls of the Qin family are not educated, right? Study hard! Qin Huaidao said to Qin Jiao with a smile.

Qin Jiao could only nod, although she didn't want to, but she also knew that this had to be learned! ...

"Young master, just now the carpenter said that the cage you want has been made, and the blacksmith has also brought what you need!" As soon as Qin Huaidao sat down in the study, the housekeeper came over and reported to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, it's done, quick, get someone to the kitchen!" Qin Huaidao heard it and said happily.

Today he wants to try steaming liquor to see if he can get the liquor out of the future, he doesn't want to drink those drinks that are popular in Chang'an City now, the smell is too bad!

Soon, the housekeeper took the housekeeper, holding the steamer, to the kitchen, and some housekeepers held iron pipes and bamboo pipes, Qin Huaidao arrived at the kitchen, and instructed the housekeeper to start the installation, and at the same time asked the housekeeper to get the lees over,

The housekeeper didn't know what Qin Huaidao wanted to do with the lees, but he still brought it.
