Chapter 196: A Great Gift from Changle

The royal dishes are exquisite, but the temperature is not high, think about it with your toes, you also know that this entrance is related to the safety of the prince and princess, coming out of the imperial dining room, the eunuch has to trot along the way, and when he arrives at the place, he has to test for drugs and so on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFortunately, the weather is warmer, otherwise my stomach would be really uncomfortable after eating such a dish.

"Dr. Jin, please!" Although the dish is not hot, it is served quickly, and the cooks in the palace are basically responsible for one dish, which Jin Yu knew when they trained the chefs.

After the food was served, Li Chengqian gave way with the appearance of a little adult.

"Your Highness comes first." Jin Yu was a little unable to let go, after all, this was not a place to eat, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him were not dedicated to serving themselves, which was like Xhua 0.Some people will always be unhappy to observe, and I don't know how Li Er can have sex under the gaze of eunuchs, this psychological quality is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.

"Your subordinates!" Changle was still understanding, and waved his hand to send the gang away, and Jin Yu felt better.

"Dr. Jin, how about a drink to warm up?" Li Chengqian enthusiastically picked up the wine jug and was about to pour wine for Jin Yu.

"Excuse me, I have to talk to the officials naked in the afternoon, it's not good to be rude." Jin Yu hurriedly stopped it, he really didn't want to drink in this environment. Otherwise, in the future, you have to choose a satisfying place for dinner, and when you are in a good mood, you can have a good amount of wine. Although Li Er asked his children to entertain Jin Yu in the palace was an extra-standard courtesy, it also made Jin Yu sit on pins and needles.

"It's the students who don't think it through." Li Chengqian saw that Jin Yu was resolute, so he was no longer humble, but picked up chopsticks and gave Jin Yu a lot of dishes.

Just because the dishes are exquisite doesn't mean they taste good. When it comes to this dish, the emphasis is on "color, flavor, and flavor", but the temperature is also very important, so when this dish reaches Jin Yu's mouth, he feels a little discolored. It's just not good on the face.

"Lizhen, didn't you say that you have something to ask Dr. Jin?" The scene was a little cold, the scene was wrong, not only Jin Zi felt uncomfortable, but Li Chengqian was the same, so he threw the topic to his sister.

"What's the matter?" Jin Yu put down his chopsticks, looked at Changle and asked.

"Forage." Under Jin Yu's gaze, Changle's face was slightly red, and he didn't know that he thought he had drunk. "Although I started to buy straw since last year, I didn't expect the workshop to open up and consume too quickly, and at this rate, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the rice to ripen in the autumn, and the straw in stock will not be enough."

"Wouldn't it be okay to buy some more?" Jin Yu scratched his head, he really didn't have any good way to deal with the issue of raw materials.

"Everything that can be collected near Chang'an has been collected, and the transportation cost is too high to be cost-effective. There are still some in the treasury, but they are used as horse material reserves, and they cannot be used. After getting along for a period of time, Changle has been instilled in Jin Yu's mind with concepts such as cost and profit, which would have been impossible before.

"Horse feed." Jin Yu frowned, horses were the main combat tools in the Tang Dynasty, and horse materials belonged to material reserves, which were equivalent to oil reserves in later generations. If in the future generations, someone mistakenly sells a large number of oil reserves, it will definitely be a controversial issue, and the situation is the same now, so Jin Yu has to think about it first.

In the past six months, Jinyu Zhuangzi has undergone earth-shaking changes, the mills are one after another, and the output of white flour has also increased several times. There are more noodles and more bran, and Jinyu Zhuangzi is basically used to feed cows, donkeys, mules, pigs and chickens, but there are still a lot left, and this part is definitely not wrong to feed horses. Thinking of this, Jin Yu said his statement: "It is not ideal for straw to be used as horse feed, not to mention that it occupies a lot of space, and it is easy to rot if it is not sunburned well." It would be perfect if it could be replaced with bran, and it would also save straw to make paper. But there is a premise for this, and wheat cultivation must be encouraged. In fact, flour is much better than Dawei, but I didn't know how to make it before. ”

"Dr. Jin is right, Jin Yiwei's steamed buns are made of flour, right? It tastes really good. Li Chengqian nodded and said, but Changle rolled his eyes, blaming him for interrupting Jin Yu's words, Li Chengqian made a gesture to Jin Yu embarrassedly: "Dr. Jin, you continue." ”

"I use bran to feed the livestock in my own village, although it costs more money than forage, but the livestock are fat and strong, and the money is worth it." Jin Yu gave an example of his Zhuangzi, "Of course, this is just my family's words, whether it will succeed or not, it still needs to be determined after the imperial court investigates." Jin Yu added, although this kind of thing is beneficial to the country, but it is still good to pick up his own. ,

"Even if you can do this method, it is far from quenching your thirst, and there is still a shortage of forage!" Changle's brows did not stretch after hearing this, she didn't worry about any military affairs, as long as she took care of the things in her hands.

Jin Yu thought to himself, in fact, the paper workshop also has its own general shares, and whether it makes money or not is closely related to its own interests.

"If it's really not enough, take bamboo instead, this thing grows fast, and it can grow all year round, it is really a good material for papermaking." "Wouldn't that be bamboo paper again? The quality is not as good as the current straw paper, and the cost is still high. Changle disagreed with Jin Yu's opinion.

Looking at Changle Lori's face with some sorrow, which was very incommensurate with her age, it was distressing to see it, Jin Yu smiled, "Who said that bamboo can't make good paper?" The quality of bamboo paper is better than that of straw paper, but those workshops can't figure out the production process. Although the cost will be high, our selling price cannot be lower than the current price of bamboo paper. ”

"Why can't the price be low? Isn't it just that the imperial court co-organizes a workshop with you so that people in the world can afford to use paper" Changle heard Jin Yu say this, and he didn't understand.

"I'm afraid it's not realistic in a short period of time, and all the improvements will have to take some time to achieve. Although the output of our workshop is large, it is not enough to meet the market demand, even if we keep the price very low, the scholars will not be able to use it, the merchants will sell the paper to a place where they can get more profits, and we will offend people, and even bring some instability to the imperial court. Jin Yu explained to Changle with a smile, as if he had returned to the environment where the two of them discussed issues in private.

"Offending people?" "Instability?" Li Chengqian's brother and sister asked in unison, but the focus of their concerns was inconsistent.

"Yes." Jin Yu nodded, and then explained to the two young men who were thirsty for knowledge: "It is the merchants who sell paper that are offended, the bigger the merchants, the more they suffer, who has no inventory in the library?" If the price of the straw paper we supply is low, the bamboo paper in their library can only be sold at a lower price, because of our competition, they lose money, is it offended? ”

Seeing that the two nodded, Jin Yu continued: "It's okay for the merchants to say, after all, they can make up some profits from the straw paper, but what about the workshops that produce bamboo paper?" They are making bamboo paper for food!

If we lower the price too hard, the merchant will take our price and force them to lower the price, if they can't get by, what will they do? When people can't eat, it's hard to say that they don't go the wrong way. ”

After Li Chengqian listened, he looked thoughtful, Jin Yu didn't bother him, but said to Changle: "While the straw paper is not on the market now, Your Highness should investigate the price and sales volume of the paper market, and we can also use it to set the price, so that the straw paper and bamboo paper market can have a smooth transition and minimize unnecessary trouble." ”

"Hmm." Changle nodded, and laid down the errand ordered by Jin Yu. In fact, Jin Yu is lazy now, and he really doesn't want to start making this thing.

"Thank you Dr. Jin for reminding me, otherwise there will really be a mess."

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Jin Yu.

"Your Highness has seen the outside, no matter how you say it, it's your own business, and this is all your duty."

"Huh." Li Chengqian smiled slightly, and then arched his hand towards Jin Yu and said, "There is another happy event to congratulate Dr. Jin today." ”

"Oh? What's the happy event? Jin Yu was stunned, and he was also a little happy in his heart, could it be that Li Er was going to reward himself again?

"Father has decided to print your new arithmetic into a book, this is the third book since the beginning of the dynasty, a great honor!" Changle said proudly. In fact, there is also her role in this, but she didn't tell Jin Yu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jin Yu got up and arched his hand in one direction casually, anyway, he didn't know where Li Er was, so he just saluted.

"Dr. Jin is a genius and a talented man, and he is eight buckets high, which is what Dr. Jin deserves." Li Chengqian got up to accompany him, and said after Jin Yu finished saluting.

"Your Highness has a good reputation." Jin Yu arched his hand, saying that he didn't dare to be. After Changle finished speaking, there was no follow-up, and Jin Yu was a little interested in his heart. There is still a copyright problem in later generations, and now Li Er said that he would use it, and he would not say that he would buy it out, which is very unkind!

After saying what should be said, the next thing is to eat with the three of them bored. Li Chengqian eats Xiang Siwen, Changle is noble, Jin Yu is not good to evaluate, the momentum is huge, only a little worse than Cheng Biting Jin, he is now venting all his dissatisfaction with Li Er on the table in front of him. ,

After the drink, it was the afternoon lecture, and Jin Yu was a little worried, and even repeatedly hinted to himself before class that he wanted to teach the officials below as elementary school students, but the class order was surprisingly good.

Because Jin Yu was well prepared, he used his own small workshop to print a lot of multiplication formulas and abacus formulas, and explained them to the officials in general, and the rest was just to practice diligently.

Originally, Jin Yu was a little dissatisfied with the printing of the book, but Yang Ying rarely supported it after hearing it. "The husband doesn't know, from ancient times to the present, the people who can publish books and legacies can be counted, even if it is a change of dynasty, these people are the objects of the court. With this layer of talismans, the husband can really gain a foothold in Datang! ”

"No copyright tax, no buyout fee" Jin Yu drew a small circle on the side, his thoughts were a little unturned, and when he heard Yang Ying say this, he said magnanimously: "Forget it, you should serve the people!" ”

"The husband will say something weird!" Yang Ying glanced at Jin Yu and said happily. The Buddha blessed, and drove Ming'er Concubine to donate some sesame oil money in the small temple in front! ”

"Why don't you go to Daxingshan Temple?" Jin Yu's family combination is a little strange, Jin Yu does not believe in Buddhism, but is somewhat interested in Taoism, and there is also a Taoist priest in the house, but Yang Ying still believes in Buddhism.

"It's too far, it's cheaper here." Yang Ying whispered a little irreverently.

"The Buddha can be angry when he hears what you say. Forget it, it's all his old man's branch anyway, and it's the same at home. Before donating money to the Buddha, let's ask the Bodhisattva first? ”

"Husband...... Nasty."
