Chen Shangshu ignored him and continued to say to the emperor: "The minister also heard that the workshop was built in the jue field given by His Majesty, what is it not a good field?" ”

"The minister heard, the minister heard, Chen Shangshu heard from the people, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, let alone investigate it, and he made a conclusion directly," the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was not to be outdone, and said back: "Could it be that Lord Chen also relies on 'hearing' to deal with government affairs?" ”

Chen Shangshu glared at him angrily, but ignored his questioning, but turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, now Suzhou is full of traders who rush to buy paper, so much paper can imagine how big a paper mill the Lord of Lin County has built, and all it occupies is fertile land, not to mention that it also needs materials for papermaking, and the bamboo paper it enters is made of bamboo, and so many bamboos have to be planted on land." ”

"All right," the emperor interrupted him with a raised hand, "I'm tired today, let's all go back and rest, if you want to sue the county lord for occupying the fertile land for other use, then first come up with evidence, and don't convict people by speculation alone." ”

Chen Shangshu bowed down on the horse and answered "yes", but his face was not in a hurry, but he glanced at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu with the corner of his mouth.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu gritted his teeth in anger, and after sending the emperor into the palace gate, he turned the horse's head and left.

Shangshu, who was the best official with him, hurriedly caught up, "Old Ren, what are you doing so fast?" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said angrily: "If you don't run faster, I'm afraid that I will be angry with you, it's all a bunch of pink eye." ”

After saying that, he glared at the official Shangshu and said, "Why didn't Ma Shangshu say a word just now? ”

The official Shangshu smiled bitterly: "Old Ren, there are too many people offended by that kid this time, you didn't see anyone else and didn't intervene, let Chen Shangshu go to the court?" ”

"Then you're going to die this time?"

"How can it be so serious as you say?" Ma Shangshu said with a smile: "The Lin family is her protective talisman, at most she will suffer some losses, Your Majesty will not do anything to her when she remembers the old feelings, and the ministers in the court have to look at the Lin family's face." ”

The face of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was still ugly, "The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the trees fell and scattered, even you are like this, let alone others?" ”

He looked at him deeply and said: "There is no shortage of people in this world, you don't think it's a big deal now, but her aunt and nephew are really going to be hurt because of this, I see how you go to see Zihou." ”

Ma Shangshu opened his mouth and was silent.

The two of them are close friends with Lin Zhi, and when Lin Zhi died, Lin Jiang was already very capable, and he was so capable that the emperor used him, so he didn't need the two of them to take care of him.

So after Lin Jiang's death, the two of them privately said that they would take good care of Lin Qingwan, after all, she was Lin Zhi's only daughter.

And Lin Jiang also entrusted them before his death, and at this time, listening to the question of the Ministry of Industry, Ma Shangshu couldn't help but feel a little weak.

But Lin Qingwan provoked a lot of people this time, unlike the last time it was just the Zhao family and the Chen family, and he and Lao Ren alone could block it.

This time, she pulled out two pieces of paper in a row, and one by one cut to the point.

At first, everyone focused on the exquisite bamboo paper, which was the same quality as rice paper, so they didn't pay attention to the cheap and rough straw paper.

But although the interest of bamboo paper is very high, but the people who can afford it are limited, except for a few related to this interest, everyone thinks it is not bad.

After all, there is one more choice, and the quality of the bamboo paper is also very good, so at the beginning, Ren Shangshu and Ma Shangshu were happy, and felt that Lin Qingwan was worthy of being Lin Zhi's daughter, and this ability to make money is in the same vein.

And the fine paper of similar quality is in the hands of a limited number of people, who are concerned, but not impatient.

After all, compared to bamboo paper, they have been in business for many years, and both sales and reputation are incomparable to bamboo paper.

It is not certain whether bamboo paper can squeeze them out, but the development market of bamboo paper is certain.

So from the beginning, except for the one in Xuancheng that delayed the Lin family's order, the others were not in a hurry.

And the other kind of paper, which has a lot of impurities and is also heavily permeable, is not taken into account by them.

But they didn't expect the influence of straw paper to be so great, the Lin family set the price so low, but in just two months, the capital was full of straw paper, and the other cheap paper in their shop didn't sell much at all.

Although these papers are cheap, they can't bear the large sales, and their benefits are higher than that of high-quality papers such as rice paper.

However, their cost is high, even if the price is reduced, it cannot be reduced to the price of straw paper, and everyone can only watch a large amount of money flow towards Lin's bookstore.

It is said that there are also Lin's children who opened the paper mill to Hangzhou, originally straw paper in Suzhou is eight dollars a knife, and the traders go to Lin's bookstore to buy a large number of goods only seven Wen, and they can sell ten to fifteen Wen when they sell to other places.

At this price, their paper can still struggle to survive, but with the outflow of a large number of Lin's children, there will be no more such a price in the future.

For example, in Hangzhou, I heard that the straw paper there only sells for ten wen, and it also has the meaning of declining.

If that's the case elsewhere, who else will buy their hemp paper?

Not to mention the children of the poor family, that is, the children of their family, they must have chosen cheap straw paper when they first practiced writing.

Lin Qingwan touched the interests of too many people this time, and Ma Shangshu said worriedly: "Old Ren, send a letter to that child, let her restrain herself, and deal with the paper mill if she can deal with it." Haoyu is not here, it is too dangerous for her to hold this thing. ”

If Lin Jiang was here, the other families would be dissatisfied and would not dare to attack so blatantly in the court, at most they would find him to solve it privately.

Ma Shangshu sighed, in the final analysis, the son is still thick and the heir is thin, if the Lin family has a boy.

Ren Shangshu pursed the corners of his mouth, although he didn't speak, he agreed, and as soon as he got home, he went into the study to write a letter without worrying about washing.

He sealed the envelope and handed it to Changsui, "Find two people, send them to Suzhou quickly, and hand them over to Lord Lin as soon as possible." ”

The chief responded, took the letter and went out immediately.

However, no matter how fast the letter is, it can't be as fast as the actions of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the next day at the court meeting, there is a royal history to impeach Lin Qingwan for occupying good land for other purposes, and also impeaching her for profit with the people......

Even the accusation of blasphemy against the imperial power came out.

Some people think that Lin Qingwan used the land given by the emperor to raise livestock, isn't that just a blasphemy of the imperial power and dissatisfaction with the emperor?

There were a lot of people clamoring, but except for Chen Shangshu, who came out to denounce two sentences, the rest of the people were silent.

neither defends Lin Qingwan nor denounces it.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, and begged the emperor to order Dali Temple and Yushitai to investigate, and Lin Qingwan could not be convicted of Lin Qingwan based on just one side.

In this way, Lin Qingwan was given time to react, and there was both impeachment and debate, and the emperor had to listen to Lin Qingwan's explanation first.
