I thought through my heart, and my whole body was relaxed at the moment. Liu Rong put away these papers and stacked them with the toilet paper collected a few days ago, these were the bargaining chips for him to negotiate with Zhuge Liang and the courtiers in his court.

On the second day, Liu Rong sent someone to announce Zhuge Liang and Li Yan.

Because there was something to discuss with the two, Liu Rong only exercised for an hour today before bathing and changing clothes, sitting in front of the hall, waiting for the two to enter the palace.

After thinking about it, he got up again, took out a roll of silk silk from the corner of the hall, took another piece of writing paper, and spread the two on the table.

He grabbed the pen, and Wang Li immediately studied the ink for him.

And the three queens also avoided it at this time, if they were tired of being with the emperor all the time, and they would be reprimanded by the prime minister for a long time.

On the silk silk, is Zhuge Liang's teacher's table.

All he had to do now was to transcribe the list on paper.

Coincidentally, the timing was just right, and after he finished transcribing, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan had already entered this palace of heart cultivation.

Liu Rong hurriedly got up and said hurriedly, "Father-in-law, come in quickly, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much!" Come on, sit down! ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan, sat down, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister has been busy with the autumn harvest and the Northern Expedition training in the past few days, and has never entered the palace to face the saint, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

Li Yan also said, "Your Majesty, so are the ministers, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

Liu Rong shook his head and said, "Where is it, the two elders are working for the country, sharing worries for me, how can they forgive their sins." ”

"Then Your Majesty Xuanchen and the two entered the palace today, right?" Zhuge Liang asked immediately.

Liu Rong said, "I miss the two elders a little here, and I do have some things to discuss with the two elders. ”

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang and Li Yan were puzzled, although the emperor had changed a few days ago, but his past performance was indeed deep-rooted, so the two really couldn't imagine when the emperor would discuss with the two.

The emperor will definitely find a way to hide small things or misfortunes, and he will not take the initiative to discuss them with them.

Liu Rong leaned over, picked up a few pieces of paper with the teacher's table transcribed on it, and handed it to Zhuge Liangdao, "Father, let's take a look first, has my words grown in the past few days?" ”

After Zhuge Liang took it, he was first happy in his heart, isn't this his own teacher's table? In the past, the emperor was extremely resistant to reading and writing, but now he took the initiative to copy his proud work.

I didn't notice the paper on which I was writing for a moment.

Li Yan also saw it, at first his heart was unhappy, but what the emperor valued was actually Zhuge Liang.

But soon, he focused on paper.

He snatched the paper from Zhuge Liang's hand, held it with both hands, shook it from side to side, and looked at it carefully.

"Li Shangshu, what are you doing? Let me take a look at Your Majesty's words in the past few days, have you grown? Zhuge Liang said angrily.

But Li Yan ignored Zhuge Liang, but asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?" Ho Chen had never seen it before! ”

"Paper!" Liu Rong said, "In the past few days, I thought about writing on silk every day, how inconvenient and luxurious it was, so I made some paper myself. ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang paid attention to the paper, and Li Yan handed it to Zhuge Liang and said, "Your Majesty, this paper has also been seen, but its color is dark and rough, so it is not suitable for writing at all, but Your Majesty, this paper?" How did Your Majesty make this paper? ”

Zhuge Liang also nodded, and he thought the same thing in his heart.

Liu Rong listened to his chest and said, "I thought about it for a while, and made some improvements to this paper-making technique, and it was like this!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you still have this paper?" Zhuge Liang also realized the extraordinaryness of this paper at this time, and asked immediately.

Liu Rong turned around and pointed to a few points, "No, the paper made in the past few days is there!" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly ran to the front of a few people, took one sheet, spread it on a few, stroked the paper with both hands, and took a pen and wrote four big characters on the paper.

"Return to the Central Plains"!

"Prime Minister, I'll try it too!" Li Yan also wrote four words on a piece of paper at the moment.

"Long live Your Majesty"!

The content of the writing does not matter, but there are bursts of brilliance in the eyes of the two, and at the same time there is an answer in their hearts,

This paper can be written!

Seeing the way the emperor looked at them with a smile at the moment, the two suddenly understood that today's emperor announced that their entry into the palace was related to this paper.

Li Yan immediately said, "The paper made by Your Majesty is very easy to write. Your Majesty does you have any other ideas, tell me and listen to the ministers! ”

Liu Rong said, "First, this paper can produce energy, and the cost is extremely low, and the raw materials are also extremely common, so I want to mass-produce it." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "If it is as Your Majesty said, this paper will definitely be able to replace bamboo slips and silk silk." ”

Liu Rong said again, "Second, I have already thought of a way to quickly put the article on the paper, two elders, think about it, if I put all the famous scrolls of the ancient sages on the paper, so that more people in the world who want to read can learn it, how about it?" ”

"There is no one in the world who is not grateful to Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang immediately thought of how powerful it was.

Why are there so few people reading in this era? After all, you can't afford to read!

If you want to succeed in reading, you have to read a lot of books. Because in this era, the carrier of the book is either bamboo slips or silk silk, and it must be copied by hand, so it is extremely difficult to circulate!

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to read.

"Exactly! Father, it was at this time that I was discussing with the two elders that I wanted to set up a department to specialize in these manufactures, not only paper, but also other inventions that would benefit people's livelihood. Liu Rong said suddenly.

"Your Majesty, there is a manufacturing institute in the country!" Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Rong shook his head and said, "Father, I know about the manufacturing institute, but this manufacturing institute has already engaged in various manufacturing matters in the country, if I want to do something, it will inevitably disturb them, and at this moment I also know that the whole country is preparing for the Northern Expedition, and I really don't want to affect the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition!" ”

Li Yan glanced at the emperor, nodded and said, "That's true, Prime Minister, I think what Your Majesty said is extremely true!" ”

Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while and nodded.

"But the father agreed?" Liu Rongcheng hit the railway.

"Where does Your Majesty say, Your Majesty wants to do something practical, this is a good thing, how dare the minister refuse?" Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Rong said again, "And I want to sell this paper and the items produced in the future to the outside world, and get money as the capital of my father's Northern Expedition!" ”

When it came to the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang's eyes brightened again.

And Liu Rong continued, "Father, my father used to teach me that if a country wants to fight and win a war, it can't do without the support of money! Whether it is recruiting troops and horses, cutting and armor, food and grass salaries, or pensions for soldiers, they are all inseparable from money. However, the source of the treasury is one of taxes, and the other is coinage! ”

"As far as taxation is concerned, the prime minister also said that Yizhou is tired and disadvantaged, and it really can't aggravate the tax hardship of the people in Shudi. As far as coinage is concerned, my father also said that the coins made in Shu are not a long-term strategy, in fact, it is also to aggravate the suffering of the people, but the circulation of commodities is different, one can benefit the whole country, and the other can also increase the revenue of the treasury, killing two birds with one stone, what does my father think? ”

At this time, not only Zhuge Liang, but even Li Yan looked at the emperor in a daze.

What were the previous emperors able to say?

As the rulers of Shu, the two of them clearly know the essence of the current economic policy of Shu.

In fact, every coinage issuance is a plundering of the wealth of the people and people of Shu by the rulers of Shu.

At this time, the two of them were also interested, and Zhuge Liang said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me in detail about this coinage?" ”

Li Yan also said, "And how can the circulation of commodities mentioned by His Majesty benefit the whole country?" ”

Liu Rong was secretly delighted, and he used paper to throw bricks and jade, and at this moment he finally achieved results.
