Later, papermaking took a step further, and a wide variety of fine papers appeared.

Large-scale paper-making workshops were also developed.

But for Liu Rong, the conditions are not yet ripe.

At present, it is only possible to make a sample of white paper in the form of a handicraft workshop before considering anything else.

The large-scale white paper production workshop could only be placed outside the palace, preferably on his own fiefdom.

This not only facilitates secrecy and production, but also eliminates the need to pay taxes to the imperial court.

After inspecting the bamboo pulp balls that had been pounded into a pulp, Liu Rong ordered: "Continue to pound the pulp hard!" ”

Then he called the eunuch in charge of the meal in the palace to him, and in front of the three craftsmen, he ordered: "Add dinner tonight, and the wine and meat are full." ”

And threw a small piece of gold cake over, and the eunuch immediately accepted it with a smile on his face.

This eldest son of the emperor seems to have completely changed as a person, not only won the emperor's love, but also was very generous to the people below.

Therefore, recently, some people in the palace always like to come here to hang out when they have nothing to do.

First, I am familiar with my face, and secondly, I can occasionally get some benefits.

……

Weiyang Palace.

Liu Qi finished dealing with today's recital and walked a few steps around the study.

I always feel a little uncomfortable, as if I am missing something.

After thinking about it, he summoned the eunuch who was waiting next to him and asked, "Why hasn't that kid moved in the past two days?" ”

Although the emperor did not name him, the prince knew who the emperor was talking about, and secretly sighed that the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong won the emperor's heart, and said with a smile on his face:

"I heard from the people in the palace that His Royal Highness has been closed for the past few days, and it seems that he is tinkering with something?"

Speaking of this, he observed the emperor's expression carefully, saw the movement of his ear listening, and then continued to speak knowingly.

"Some people passing by the palace said that they often smell a foul smell coming from the palace of His Royal Highness, and they don't know ......."

"Bastard boy, it's only been two days of seriousness, and now it's itchy again."

Liu Qi showed a touch of anger on his face, snorted heavily, and ordered: "Go, I want to see what this kid is doing!" ”

obviously missed his son, but he had to find an excuse to go over to visit.

The prince sees all this in his eyes, and it is not easy for His Majesty the Emperor to secretly!

This is not to say that the royal family has no family affection, but that successive kings have paid attention to a favored grandson rather than a favorite son.

Even if Liu Qi has a preference for his eldest son, he will not show it easily.

……

When Liu Qi walked into the Hengde Palace, Liu Rong was testing the concentration of bamboo pulp with his own hands.

There's no way, except for him, others don't understand it at all.

Even he was only on paper and had no practical experience.

Therefore, he could only explain to the three of them while groping.

When this first batch of white paper is made, it will be much smoother in the future.

"Bastard, Liu Rong, what are you doing, do you still have the appearance of a prince?"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Liu Qi was angry.

Not to mention the stench of this full house, as a prince, he does the work of a craftsman.

If this matter spreads, it must not attract the attack of the courtiers.

Liu Rongcha was startled when he heard the cheap father's voice, but he quickly reacted, stepped forward and saluted: "In a few days, it will be my father's birthday, and my son is preparing a gift for my father." ”

As soon as these words came out, they attracted the reverent gaze of the surrounding people.

As a prince, he did the work of a craftsman, and only prepared a birthday gift for his father.

In the Han Dynasty, which advocated filial piety, this behavior could not be said to be a fault.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is also a piece of filial piety!"

How shrewd the prince is, he naturally will not miss this opportunity to send favors.

"Hmph, this kid hasn't been in shape all day, and if he can make me angry less, it's filial piety."

Although Liu Qi still had a straight face on his face, his tone was much softened.

He paced back and forth for two steps, muttered for a moment and said, "In order to prevent you from causing trouble again, from tomorrow, you will follow Neishi Ling Chao Cuo to familiarize yourself with government affairs." ”

After speaking, he snorted heavily.

Then he took the lead and walked out of the Hengde Temple.

As Liu Qi's personal eunuch, Wang Gonggong stayed at the end under the pretext of excuses, and whispered to Liu Rong with an eager face: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" ”

Although His Majesty the Emperor did not say it explicitly, looking at Liu Rong's errand, how could an ordinary prince enjoy the guidance of important ministers of the imperial court in government affairs?

In the eyes of those who are familiar with the rules of officialdom, this is undoubtedly announcing Liu Rong's status as the crown prince to everyone.

"Today, I want to thank my father-in-law for speaking up, and I will be rewarded in the future."

Liu Rong said hypocritically.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, all he shows is an attitude.

The prince stayed until the end, waiting for this sentence.

"Your Highness is serious, this is just a matter for the minion."

If it were replaced by other ministers, he might still show a strong character, but as a eunuch, the prince did not have this consciousness.

The next conversation can be said to be that Lang has the intention of a concubine, and naturally the guests and hosts are happy.

Most of the Yamen, the central official residences of the Han Dynasty, were close to the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle.

For example, the Yamen of Inner History, which is at the gate of Changle Palace, is next to Liu Bang's high temple.

Therefore, Liu Rong walked out of the palace gate, and after walking for hundreds of meters, he saw the plaque and gate of the Inner History Yamen.

Speaking of which, he had a lot of expectations for this trip, and in his previous life, he had read a lot of archives and introductions about the internal history yamen.

The internal history of the yamen can be said to have undergone several changes.

During Liu Bang's period, Neishi was also in charge of the country's financial affairs and the Jingshi region, which was equivalent to the modern finance minister and mayor of the capital.

During the reign of Empress Lu, the right to manage the financial affairs of the whole country was stripped out and set up separately as the internal history of Zhisu, which was later renamed the Great Agricultural Order, also known as the Great Sinong, and was one of the nine Qings with the internal history.

In the second year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, that is, not long after, the internal history will be divided into left and right internal history.

Finally, in the reign of Emperor Wu, the right internal history will be divided into two, namely Jing Zhaoyin and right Fufeng, and the left internal history will be renamed Zuo Feng Yi, and it has continued for hundreds of years since then.

It can be seen from this that the position of internal history has such a huge amount of power.

And today's internal history is even more of Emperor Jing's henchman, presiding over the reduction of the domain, and even Prime Minister Shen Tujia can't help him.

As soon as he thought that he was going to work under this person, Liu Rong's heart was full of joy.

Although the opponent is strong, he is not afraid.

Didn't Taizu say a word?

Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless.

Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless.

Fighting with people is endlessly fun.

Liu Rong wants to see if he is a modern person who is powerful, or whether the ancients are smarter.

Liu Rong had just gotten off the carriage in front of the Yamen of the Inner History.

The middle door of the Inner History Yamen was wide open, and an official wearing an inky black court dress and a green ribbon led more than a dozen subordinate officials out, saw Liu Rong, and bowed: "The ministers are wrong and the officials of the internal history greet Your Highness!" ”

In terms of etiquette, no one can find the slightest mistake in him.

Liu Rong also had a warm smile on his face, stepped forward to help Chao Cuo, and said: "Wrong father, please get up quickly, the kid is so virtuous, I really don't dare to be a wrong public gift...... Princes, please get up......"
