Li Tai said with a smile: "Shi Jing, after returning from your house yesterday, I thought about it when I was idle and had nothing to do, yesterday afternoon in the back garden of your house The eldest brother said a few words to me, as the saying goes, it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, I have been studying hard in the Wude Hall all day, although I have learned a lot of things in the books, but after all, they are all empty talk, I want to practice more, and Brother Shi Jing also inspired me." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. "I have to say that Li Tai's ideological consciousness is really high.

"Yesterday, when Shijing said to improve the paper, it is indeed right that we have been keeping the things of the ancestors unchanged, although the things created by the ancestors are good, but there will always be a day when the mountains are empty, about the paper, Shijing wants to improve, wants to create, so I also want to participate in person, combined with things in reality, to print what I learned on the certificate." Li Tai said.

Xuan Shijing now admires Li Tai very much, he is thoughtful, conscious, and he is also a scholar.

"His Royal Highness King Wei is right, after all, practice makes true knowledge." Xuan Shijing said, suddenly there was a flash in the trouble, Li Tai, a literary young man, seems to have compiled a book in history, isn't "The Chronicles of the Ground" compiled by him, and he is also a geographer.

In line with the principle of making the best use of talents, Xuan Shijing has an idea at the moment, look at Li Tai in front of him, he will be thirteen years old after the New Year, and he is a little hesitant in his heart, this is considered child labor.

Xuan Shijing was still a little embarrassed in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was a thousand years old King of Wei, and there were more than a dozen people under him......

"His Royal Highness King Wei, I have one more thing here, I don't know if His Highness is interested." Hyun Se-kyung squinted his eyes and looked at Li Tae with a smile.

Li Tai's heart suddenly sudden, what kind of expression is this, how do you feel hairy in your heart, but she still opened her mouth and said, "What's the matter with Shijing?" ”

"It's not a big deal, Your Highness doesn't want to travel thousands of miles, it just so happens that there is something in Zhuangzi, the fiefdom of Shijing. Maybe Your Highness can get involved. Xuan Shijing said.

"Oh? What else is there besides papermaking? Li Tai asked.

"I wonder how Your Highness understands geography and water conservancy?"

Li Tai touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I know more than I know on paper, but I can only say that it is acceptable." ”

It's easy to understand, Li Tai plus the experienced Zhuang Zhuang, this river, artificial lake or something will be appropriate, and then invite an expert to go over, the matter will be finalized, and besides, Li Tai's attendants in the Wude Palace, the master or something is not an ordinary person, this time, there are so many free labor, you can save a lot of expenses.

"That's right, Your Highness, after the spring ploughing this year, Shijing Zhuangzi plans to dig a ditch to divert water, and build a reservoir upstream, which is convenient for Zhuanghumen to irrigate farmland, and it will be much more convenient for the paper mill to be close to the water source." Xuan Shijing said to Li Tai.

"Sejing means to involve me in digging rivers and building reservoirs?" Li Tai's eyes lit up and he looked at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing nodded lightly: "Exactly, although His Highness is still young, he is better than being knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and it should not be difficult to cooperate with experienced masters, isn't this exactly what His Highness wants to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles?" ”

Li Tai originally had no bottom in his heart, if it was a matter of the papermaking workshop, after all, papermaking was a test of a person's learning time, plus the craftsmen swept the formation, it was not difficult for him, if it was to dig the river, it was not just that he had read the book, the direction of the terrain, the softness and hardness of the soil and all kinds, Li Tai naturally had no bottom in his heart, but he really didn't want to waste such an opportunity. Empress Changsun's discipline of Li Tai is also very strict, if she said that she helped Xuan Shijing Zhuangzi dig a river, maybe Empress Changsun could agree to Li Tai running out from time to time, and after listening to Xuan Shijing's words, Li Tai felt that it was not as difficult as he imagined to take this matter, so he immediately nodded and responded.

"Since Shijing Zhuangzi is in need, then it doesn't hurt for me to help Shijing."

"Then there is His Royal Highness Lao," Xuan Shijing waved his hand at Li Tai.

"Shijing doesn't need to be polite, to put it bluntly, I want to thank you." Li Tai said with a smile: "By the way, the money promised to you yesterday was placed in the front yard, and Steward Zhong ordered someone to move it to the treasury on your house, although it is not much, but it is also a heart between me and my eldest brother, it just so happens that Shijing's younger brother Zhuangzi is going to dig a river and open a paper workshop, if there is a need in the future, even if it is good to send someone to tell me, my Wude Palace's food and clothing are more than that of the eldest brother, and there is no problem in saving some money." ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, Xuan Shijing's heart was also very touched, although Li Tai's attitude towards himself was not good before, but it was also the grievance of the previous generation, and now his knot has been resolved, for Xuan Shijing, it is also the same as Li Chengqian to him, unreservedly good, as for why he thinks so, Xuan Shijing feels that his current self has nothing worth buying or using.

"Thank you, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about money, as long as the papermaking workshop is opened, once the new papermaking process is developed, it will definitely replace the hard yellow paper used now, Your Highness is also a reader, so he naturally understands the importance of this paper for readers." Xuan Shijing said.

"This is natural, but Shijing, the price of this paper ......" Li Tai looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Your Highness, rest assured, it will not be too expensive, after all, this is also a matter for the benefit of all people, if it is sold expensive, let Your Majesty know that Shijing's ass will suffer." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "But before this new paper comes out, everything is just empty talk, but there is still something Shijing wants to explain to His Highness." ”

"Please." After talking for so long, Li Tai was also a little thirsty, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of water.

"The money sent by His Royal Highness King Wei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be asked for in vain, just as the two of them have invested in the shares, and after he makes a profit, he will give dividends to the two Highnesses according to a certain proportion." Xuan Shijing said.

"It's not necessary, my eldest brother and I helped Shijing, and I didn't want anything in return." Li Tai put down the cup and said.

"Your Royal Highness should not be busy refusing, Shi Jing said this, there is a reason, His Royal Highness will open his own house after becoming an adult, and the expenses will not be generally large, it is better to save more private money now, and take 10,000 steps back, if it is really profitable in the future, the two Highnesses can also improve the use of the palace, His Royal Highness also knows that His Majesty and the Queen Mother have always been thrifty, in recent years, my Tang treasury is empty, and the mother only has a splendid dress every prosperous day, if the two Highnesses can be self-sufficient by the way, help the Internal Affairs Department to enrich the treasury, this is not a filial piety. ”
