Seeing the pen and ink in front of him, Li Tai picked up the pen and began to write quietly, and ideas kept appearing in his mind.

As if he was writing a crime, Li Tai wrote down everything he knew, thinking in his heart how his father knew about it, and Lishan's papermaking skills have always been kept secret.

No one knew about it until the papermaking was in their own hands.

At present, I have just fully understood the papermaking technique, and my father knows it.

Who are the guards in the mansion who are the eyes of the emperor.

It was very quiet in the Ganlu Palace, and Li Tai knelt in the hall and quietly wrote what happened, and wrote a large article in a free manner, "Father, the son has finished writing." ”

Li Shimin nodded, "Submit it." ”

Li Tai wanted to stand up, because his knees were sore and sore because he had been kneeling for too long.

The eunuch on the side saw it and hurriedly went to help.

The written story was presented to his father, and Li Tai bowed down and said, "This is what happened." ”

Seeing that his father was looking carefully, Li Tai said again: "The matter involves the family property of the emperor's sister and brother-in-law, and the son did not write down the secret recipe of papermaking. ”

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Naturally, I can't do anything to take away the property of the courtiers. ”

Li Tai whispered: "The reason why my brother-in-law refuses to make this papermaking technique public is because this method will cause others to covet it, and I ask my father to ...... it."

"I'll keep it a secret."

Li Tai muttered in his heart, brother-in-law, that's all I can do for you, do your best.

Zhang Yang, who was discussing with Xu Jingzong in the Ministry of Rites, sat on a box.

The chest was full of silver cakes, all of which were refined from silver ore.

Each piece is a silver cake of equal weight, which is the silver money that will cost the operation of the Ministry of Rites in the future, but the Japanese monks have already written to the Japanese country, and they don't know when the next batch of silver mines will be delivered, and these should also save some flowers at the moment.

Zhang Yang let out a loud sneeze, "Sorry, I didn't control it." ”

Xu Jingzong smiled embarrassedly, "It's okay, this kind of thing can't help it." ”

The two of them continued to look at the map, and Zhang Daxiang, who was standing on the side, hesitated: "The matter of building the Foreign Affairs Institute still needs to be approved by the Zhongshu Province, and only if the Zhongshu Province feels that it can do so, can it be subordinate to the Ministry of Rites." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, "It is true that the approval of the Chinese Book Province is required, and even more so, the approval of His Majesty." ”

After speaking, he realized that Zhang Dasu, Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Yang were all looking at him.

Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth, "Xiaguan will go to the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhang Yang said, "Knowing that you are good at this kind of thing, I will bother you." ”

Li Baiyao came back from the Ministry of Officials, a meeting had ended, and he took a file and said: "Zhang Shangshu, this is the roster that has been selected recently, and the Ministry of Officials means that a few people can be selected from it. ”

Zhang Yang locked the box, "There is no shortage of manpower now, and there is no need for the time being." ”

Li Baiyao said entangledly: "All the ministries have been chosen, we can't not want all of them." ”

"Then you need a few sweepers and cleaners, you can pick two or three yourself."

The two brothers, Elephant and Dasu, went to choose a site for the future Foreign Affairs Academy, and they were in a good mood today, as soon as Zhang Yang walked out of the Ministry of Rites, he saw the guards of the Wei Wang's Mansion coming in a hurry.

"Zhang Shangshu, hurry up and see King Wei."

Seeing the other party's panicked expression, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "His Royal Highness King Wei is sick?" ”

"King Wei ......" The guard's words choked in his throat, and he said in a low voice: "Please also go to the mansion of King Wei." ”

It is about the cash cow of Lishan, and in the future, Li Tai will call for wind and rain in the shopping mall of Datang, and his safety is also important to his family business, although I don't know what happened, if you can't count on Li Tai, there is a prince who can be replaced.

Zhang Yang followed the footsteps of the guards and walked all the way to the mansion of King Wei.

At this moment, Li Tai's mansion was very chaotic, a group of subordinates were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to speak, and furniture and various clay pots were piled up in the courtyard.

Li Tai was sitting in a chair, his eyes silently tearing a calligraphy and painting.

The guard said in a low voice: "After seeing Your Majesty come back, it is like this, as if the devil is stunned. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang stepped forward and looked carefully.

Li Tai said in a low voice: "Don't look at it like this, this king is not sick." ”

Zhang Yang explained: "I didn't say that His Royal Highness King Wei was sick. ”

"You look at the king's eyes like you're looking at a sick person!"

The people in the house brought a chair, and Zhang Yang sat down on the side, "What happened to me, smashing the house like this." ”

Li Tai covered his face, "Brother-in-law, what do you say is right and wrong in this world." ”

"Why did you suddenly ask such a profound question, could it be that His Royal Highness King Wei doesn't want to do business anymore and wants to be a saint?"

Li Tai lowered his head, "In my opinion, a mistake is a mistake, and it should be punished, but what is right and wrong in the eyes of my father, can even this kind of right and wrong be used?" ”

"In fact, sometimes right and wrong are not so distinct."

Li Tai put the weight of his body on the pillar behind him, just sat on the ground and looked up at the sky, "Dai Stomach passed away, I want to admit my mistake to my father, my father already knew about it, and he didn't punish him, but let me write down the process of getting papermaking." ”

"Handed over to your father?"

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I didn't leave a secret recipe, and I don't care how many of my father's eyeliner there are in King Wei's mansion, Lu Dongzan was beaten by me, and he will be punished as he wants."

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Even Lu Dongzan doesn't care, this is a big or small thing, if your father thinks that this matter is harmful to the face of the envoy, then this matter is big, if it is just an ordinary brawl, and there is no fatality, they are only some skin injuries, this matter is at most a fine, it all depends on how your father wants to look at it." ”

Li Tai raised his head and said in a low voice: "Why do you say that my father even has to use the last trace of value before his death, I feel guilty, so I wrote down the origin of papermaking." ”

Walking up to him, Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Children are innocent and kind, right and wrong in the eyes of King Wei are very clear, but right and wrong in the adult world is another matter, congratulations to King Wei for finally getting a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg in the adult world." ”

Li Tai frowned and said: "I used to want to be a person like my father, but now I don't want to, I'm afraid of being a cold person like my father, you are not in the Ganlu Palace, you know how terrible your father's cold eyes are." ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang said: "In fact, the person who is the emperor does not necessarily have to be so bad, sometimes I don't agree with your father's three views so much, and sometimes his thoughts are weird and bizarre. ”

"Even you think so?"

"I'm worried that your father has lost his ambition and doesn't want to start a war against Tubo and Goguryeo, which will make our Ministry of Rites very embarrassing, excluding your father's strange three views, if you can always instill ambition in Your Majesty, and can also expand the territory, I still support him."

Li Tai glanced at Zhang Yang, "You're not a good person. ”

Zhang Yang smiled instead, "I'm not like your father, I want to be a Ming Jun and always establish my own image, I am a righteous person, what I should be like." ”

Li Tai picked up the wood on the ground and smashed it at the window, but his strength was not strong enough, and the wooden block did not cause any damage when it touched the window.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "I have studied a poem before, if His Royal Highness King Wei feels confused again, you might as well remember it and read it a few more times." ”

Li Tai sneered: "Just like the words you gave to the prince, study hard and make progress every day?" ”

"This sentence may also be useful, I want to give another sentence to King Wei."

"What words?"

Zhang Yang said loudly: "What do you want to transport the canopy, I don't feel that I have turned over, I have broken my hat to cover my face in the downtown area, and the leaky boat carries wine in the middle of the stream......."

Li Tai listened quietly, thinking about the artistic conception in the poem.

Zhang Yang continued: "Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow, hid in a small building to become a unity, and managed him in spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”

Li Tai listened carefully, "Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu...... What a great poem. ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "The person who wrote this poem is also very powerful. ”

"Written by my brother-in-law's teacher?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed: "Many people in my hometown know him, if we all use his articles as a benchmark, I think we are all his disciples." ”

Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Yang said again: "By the way, this poem is called self-deprecation. ”

"Self-deprecating ......" Li Tai smiled bitterly: "Come on, write this poem to this king!" Hang in front of my Wei Wang's mansion! ”

The little fat man's eyes had the light of struggle again, and Zhang Yang was also a lot relieved.

On Suzaku Street, there is a group of people walking to see Dai off his stomach.

An old man has passed away, as if an era has passed, and the people in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty have all left, and now they have reached Zhenguan.

is also announcing that the troubled times of the year have passed, and now it is the world of Li Tang Jiangshan.

There were fewer and fewer old people in that era, and the chaos and desolation of those war-torn years finally ended.

Zhang Yang walked all the way and thought about it, Li Shimin knew that there was papermaking in Lishan, and with his character, he probably wouldn't just take away papermaking.

Lishan is not the only one who can make paperware in this world.

When I returned home, I saw Li Yue and Xiao Wu kicking the shuttlecock and playing, Xiao Xiong surrounded the two of them and wanted to catch the shuttlecock, making trouble from time to time, causing Xiao Wu to chase after him.

Xiao Wu's little short legs are struggling to catch up with the bear.

Now that this bear has grown so strong, Xiao Wu's fists and feet can't do it any harm.

told Li Yue about Li Tai.

Li Yue whispered: "Papermaking is not important, the important thing is that our family should be safe." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "If there are other people who know about the existence of Lishan papermaking technology, I will not hesitate to hand over the papermaking technology." ”

Li Yue smiled softly, "The profit of printing books is so shallow, and it has always been on the verge of losing money, which is why my husband wants to make the price of paper so low." ”

"When we produce enough paper, we also have the right to price paper, and the most critical factor in competing for this pricing power is productivity, who can produce enough paper, who can print more books, and occupy more markets, the greater the right to speak."

Li Yue shook the small pu fan in his hand, and there was still some sweat on his forehead just after kicking the shuttlecock.

In the imperial city, Xu Jingzong waited outside Zhongshu Province for a long time, and finally waited for the eldest grandson Wuji to come out.

"I've seen Zhao Guogong, this is the recital of the Ministry of Rites." Xu Jingzong handed over the recital.

First of all, Sun Wuji, the chief of the chapter, had not opened it to look at it, and asked first: "You are the squire of the Ministry of Rites, and you can also enter the Zhongshu Province to report matters, why are you waiting outside the door?" ”

Xu Jingzong replied: "I'm afraid of disturbing the public to take care of state affairs." ”

"The affairs of the Ministry of Rites are also state affairs." The eldest grandson Wuji opened the chapter and looked at it carefully, and after reading it hastily, he asked: "What is the purpose of the Ministry of Rites to build the Foreign Affairs Academy?" ”

Xu Jingzong lowered his head and showed respect to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Deal with the affairs of diplomatic relations between the countries." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled: "The Ministry of Rites can handle these things, so why bother." ”

"Back to Zhao Guogong, diplomatic matters also have priorities, just like the relationship between the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the same is true of the Ministry of Rites and the Foreign Academy, if it involves diplomatic matters, it can also be submitted to the Foreign Affairs Yuan for adjudication, and then handed over to the Ministry of Rites for approval."

"At the beginning, Zhang Yang had an agreement with the old man, and the Ministry of Rites could make its own decisions, and this agreement is still in place today, and the old man will make it clear to the old man about the Foreign Affairs Academy."

"Then thank you Zhao Guogong."

"It's a matter of duty." Glancing at Xu Jingzong again, the eldest grandson Wuji said again: "The court is the time to employ people, and there are other places besides the Ministry of Rites and the court that can give full play to your talents. ”

"Where does the lower official have any talent, how can he compare with the Zhongshu Province, it is very good in the Ministry of Rites, if the lower official has meritorious service, it would be great if Zhao Guogong could be promoted."

Just as he was about to leave, Eldest Sun Wuji turned around and asked, "Who is in charge of the Diplomatic Academy?" ”

Xu Jingzong stood in place and replied: "Naturally, it is still Zhang Shangshu." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded slightly.

When the people were far away, the smile on Xu Jingzong's face was fleeting, and every time he was very tormented with the eldest grandson Wuji.

He rubbed his face, which was about to stiffen with laughter, and then left quickly.

The days passed, and Zhang Yang still lived his life as usual.

The matter of Lishan papermaking is like a stone sinking into the sea and there is no movement, and neither Li Shimin nor the court mentioned it.

didn't bother to ask, Zhang Yang took Li Yue and Xiao Wu on the way to the village.

On the way, Li Yue talked about his doubts, "It's been five days, and my father hasn't asked anyone to inquire." ”

Let the horse walk slowly, looking at the factory in the distance, Zhang Yang said, "Your father is also waiting." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"When our papermaking and printing technology can boost the number of books, your father will naturally not let go of something useful to the society."

"What the husband means is that my father has a plan for papermaking and printing."

Zhang Yang nodded, "We are not the only ones in this world who have papermaking skills, hasn't your father seen papermaking?" How many of those guards of King Wei are His Majesty's eyeliner? One or two? Or maybe everyone was the eyeliner of that Heavenly Khan, and handed over the papermaking technique to the people of King Wei, and he knew it so quickly. ”

"Maybe the progress of papermaking and printing technology does not meet the needs of Tian Khan, as the emperor, he naturally knows that it is not worth killing chickens and eggs, he will wait for this fruit to ripen, and then pick it to contribute to his country."
