"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, do you still think that when the Marquis of Lishan County seized the sky, it was right to change the location to satisfy his own selfish desires?"

"Hahaha!" Li Tai suddenly laughed out loud, "Old monk, what my Lishan School wants to pursue is to fight with the sky and the earth!" ”

"It's a good sentence to fight with the sky and the earth." Monk Huikuang lowered his head, "Conquer the heavens and the earth, go against the sky, and be intolerable by the world, Lishan will have evil retribution, and the Marquis of Lishan County will also eat the evil consequences sooner or later." ”

The monk spoke calmly, and his words were full of piety.

Shangguan Yi took out the contract to interrupt the debate between King Wei and the old monk, and took out another pen, "Please also ask the two of you to draw a pledge on this contract, a total of four copies, Lishan, Fomen, and Mr. Li, and the rest will be handed over to me to testify." ”

Li Zhengzao picked up the contract and read it, and there were more than 100 words written on the paper, "What's the price of this vacancy?" ”

Li Tai explained: "According to the agreement, you buy a total of 2 million guan of paper making from Lishan, and if the money is not delivered, you first write an IOU, and this IOU can be invalidated when you hand over 2 million guan to Lishan." ”

"As long as the painting is pledged, Lishan can not be sold to anyone else until you give money, otherwise Lishan will make other plans."

"As for the vacant places, the two of you will divide them, will one person have one million yuan, or will there be more and who will have less?"

Monk Huikuang immediately said: "Of course it's a million!" ”

"Wait!" Li Zhengzao drank three bowls of spirits, and his eyes were red at the moment, "I said it was good, but it's not like this?" ”

Monk Huikuang pondered for a while, "Since you should be half of one party, you can also share Lishan papermaking technology." ”

Li Zhengzao pointed at the old monk and said fiercely, "The old man can only take out 600,000 yuan, and he won't come out with a penny." ”

Monk Huikuang snorted and said: "Zhengzao, this is the Marquis of Lishan County, waiting for me, and I hope to calm down." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Zhengzao calmed down again, and slowly picked up the pen to draw.

Li Tai said: "We in Lishan have always believed that there is no basis for words, and words are based on evidence. ”

Seeing that the tip of Li Zhengzao's pen had fallen on the paper and had not yet been written, Li Tai said quietly: "Old man, the words are the basis." ”

Li Zhengzao held the pen with a trembling hand, and the tip of the pen fell on the paper and did not start writing, so he raised it again, "The old man thinks it is inappropriate." ”

As he spoke, Li Zhengzao pulled the old monk to the outside of the shed, and the two began to argue in the snow.

Pei Xuanji smiled bitterly: "Let His Royal Highness King Wei see and laugh." ”

Li Tai didn't care, and said: "Brother Pei, this old gentleman and this old monk look like each other, sooner or later they will become hostile from the current cooperation, it is better for Brother Pei to follow this king to do things, you are also a talent, this king has always admired people like you." ”

"I don't have great ambitions, I just want to marry a girl with five surnames, but I have the rest of my life."

Li Tai sighed in the cold air and turned into a cloud of white mist, "It's a pity. ”

After an hour of incense, the argument between the two in the snow stopped, and finally decided to pay one million yuan each.

Li Tai checked the contract to confirm that it was correct, "In this way, when you deliver the two million guan, Lishan will hand over the complete papermaking technique to you." ”

Monk Huikuang accepted the contract, recited the Buddha's name and left.

Li Zhengzao accepted the contract, glanced at Shangguan Yi deeply, and left with Pei Xuanji.

Standing in the snow to bid farewell to the three of them, seeing that the people had gone away, Li Tai asked, "What did Brother Shangguan stuff in Mr. Li's package?" ”

Shangguan Yi said in a low voice: "White sugar." ”

The wind and snow were still very strong, Li Tai patted him on the shoulder, "If you are the king, you can't let go of the things of the year, but it has been so long since the Jiangdu mutiny, and no one can tell what is right and wrong, and now there are very few people who have white sugar, after Sun Fujia investigated the case in Luoyang, all the white sugar has been sealed, and the roster of trading white sugar has also been archived." ”

"Many people are tracing the source of white sugar, and if there is white sugar on Mr. Li at this time, he will be speechless, even if he can't die, there will be countless troubles to find him."

"Brother Shangguan, is this king right?"

Li Tai looked sideways, where Shangguan Yi was still by his side, and when he looked back, he had already walked into the village.

This person has been weird recently, and the change in Jiangdu was Shangguan Yi's biggest concern.

Li Tai couldn't ask questions, so he could only take the contract and walk to the Weishui River, where his brother-in-law was fishing with a hat.

"Can there be fish on a cold day?"

"Yes." Zhang Yang shook his bamboo basket, and sure enough, three live fish were jumping in it.

Li Tai sighed into his hand and rubbed his palm, which was red from the cold.

The snow fell silently on the river, and the two sat by the river for a long time without speaking.

"Done?"

"Hmm." Li Tai nodded heavily

"Wait, don't be in a hurry to sell these debts."

Hui Kuang and Li Zhengzao took the scroll of drawings and left, as for which of the scrolls will be in the hands of them in the end, it can only depend on how they fight for it, which is one of the divisive calculations.

Divide the debt of 2 million yuan equally, which is the second of the divisive.

The conspiracy is all used.

I'm not afraid that they won't mess up.

Even if they can really join the same breath and wait for Lishan to sell these debts to others, a debt of one million guan and a debt of 600,000 yuan will be profitable.

As for who this debt will be sold to, you can pick the right person and let other families go to the door to collect the debt, so that the gate valves can fall into endless infighting.

I'm not afraid that they won't pay, I'm not afraid that they will drag, the debts of the Li family and Buddhism in Zhaojun are very valuable, 600,000 guan is just a conservative estimate, and 800,000 guan is a good deal, and the reputation is worth this price.

As for who and to how many people the debt is to be sold, a suitable target is needed.

This will exacerbate the contradiction between Li Zhengzao and Hui Kuang, which is the third divide.

I'm not afraid that they won't mess up, and even if they don't, they can force them to mess up.

Zhang Yang said again: "Please let His Royal Highness the King of Wei tell your father that our Lishan has completed the transaction, and the 300,000 guan they sent bought all the manpower and equipment of our paper mill in Lishan, and took out 150,000 of them to your father." ”

"Whoa." Li Tai is going to do business.

Li Zhengzao and Monk Hui Kuang bought papermaking, while Li Shimin bought all the workers and equipment of the Lishan factory, which could produce paper immediately.

In this way, one side buys papermaking, and the other side buys technology.

Lishan ate two fish and two fish, and also got a debt of 2 million yuan, becoming the biggest winner.

As for whether their two million guan can be paid, it is no longer important, and some are means to make an IOU become a genuine silver money.

Li Tai asked people to send the news to Chang'an City, Li Shimin was very happy to get 150,000 yuan, and he enjoyed this feeling when he watched a cart of copper coins and silver cakes sent into the palace.

This is more refreshing than collecting taxes.

"My pool of liquid can finally be repaired."

Tian Khan has been thinking about the Taiye Pool for three years, and in the past three years, he has often gone to look at the river outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Now the Taiye Pool is about to be built, in addition to building the Taiye Pool, another palace will be built in Longshouyuan, which is the location that Cen Wenwen and Yuan Tiangang have already chosen.

Thinking about the silver money in his hand, Li Shimin felt that the 150,000 yuan of silver was used to dig the Taiye Pool, and after using the money, there was not much money left in the future.

Thinking of Zhang Yang's good use of money, if he came to supervise the production, he might be able to save a lot of money.

The prince said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is still waiting for His Majesty's reply outside the Chengtian Gate. ”

Li Shimin wrote a decree: "Ninety percent of the paper made by the Lishan papermakers has just been sent to the palace, and the printed books are supervised by the secretary and supervisor Cen Wenwen, and the location and manpower of the Lishan Paper Mill are the same." ”

A will was hurriedly sent out of Chengtianmen, and was hurriedly sent to Lishan by Li Tai's guards.

According to the meaning of the will, the ownership of the paper mill was handed over to Tian Khan, and everything else was still in charge of Lishan, and everything else was the same.

Li Yue sorted out the account books, took out one of them and handed it to Aunt Wang, "It's just that the wages required by the Lishan Paper Mill and the cost of the coming year are all given to my father." ”

"Whoa."

After a while, Li Shimin was in a good mood and received the account book sent by Lishan at the moment, and he was still hesitating who to let supervise the Taiye Pool, and he thought about letting Zhang Yang supervise the construction, but he didn't want to use him.

Since the paper mill will belong to Tian Khan in the future, all the costs required will be borne by Tian Khan, and the cost of the paper mill will cost 300 yuan a year.

Li Shimin stared at the account books, from the sixth year of Zhenguan to the present, he has been losing money every year, and no year has been profitable.

Seeing that it was dark, Li Shimin stroked his forehead, and finally understood at this moment, no wonder Zhang Yang was so bold, and thought that he had an extra conscience.

"This bastard boy!" Li Shimin took the case, which frightened Yan Liben, who was originally standing on the side, also trembled.

I don't know why Your Majesty is angry, after buying the paper mill, Your Majesty was laughing when he slept last night, what happened today?

"Do you think he has a conscience? I didn't expect him to sell the most loss-making deal to me!"

With the cheap price of books in Lishan for so many years, it is true that it has always been a loss-making transaction, that is, the books supplied to the court, which are pure loss-making books.

His Majesty's hand holding the account book was trembling, and it was obvious that the paper mill was not profitable, and even if it was saved, it would only balance the expenses if it was discarded with manpower.

Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl on the side, found that the tea was already cold, and put it down again, and the tea in the tea bowl was sprinkled on the table.

At the beginning, he should have gritted his teeth and made a decision to hang him! Hang yourself in front of the Chengtian Gate!

There is no need to watch him make trouble in Lishan.

The prince immediately poured a bowl of hot tea, added some fire to the stove beside His Majesty, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Supervisor Lu of the Imperial Doctor's Department has an instruction, Your Majesty's heart fire has finally calmed down, and it can't be anymore, it will only get worse every time." ”

Li Shimin drank the tea, calmed his emotions, and his eyes fell on Yan Li, who was standing still, like a wood carving, "If you dig the Taiye Pool, how much silver can be saved in 150,000 guanzhong?" ”

"Your Majesty, according to the previous plan, there are five hundred in the north and south of the Taiye Pool, counting the east and west of the palace and more than 10,000 meters, these 150,000 are not enough, how can we save them."

Li Shimin wanted to ask again, but the words were choked in his throat and couldn't be spoken, looking at Yan Liben's honest appearance, most of them were the truth.

"Prepare the car, I want to go to Lishan."

"Whoa."

The prince hurriedly responded, the words passed through his mind, and he thought about it again, and then walked back, "Your Majesty, the queen arranged it yesterday, and today I will take the concubine and Your Majesty to Qujiang Pond to enjoy the snow scene." ”

Holding his forehead, Li Shimin looked pained, "Then tomorrow." ”

Wang Gonggong whispered: "Your Majesty, tomorrow I will arrange to discuss calligraphy with Xu Guogong and Mr. Yu Shinan." ”

"Then another day."

Seeing that His Majesty had compromised, the prince responded with a smile, "Hey." ”

Of course, papermaking is the only one that loses money in all the money-making transactions in Lishan, and this loss is a loss for five years.

Now that Zhang Yang has handed over the papermaking technique to Tian Khan, Lishan finally stopped losing money, and suffered from the already nervous use of the DPRK and China.

After Yan Liben and Cen Wenwen, who had just been appointed as the supervisor of the paper mill, calculated that if the DPRK needed 10,000 books a year, then the cost of 300 yuan a year in the accounts would increase by five times.

That is, a loss of at least 1,500 yuan a year.

The DPRK and China are already tight, not to mention giving money every year.

Papermaking is a good thing, but it is a very melancholy thing to hold in your hand and need money to keep you supplied.

"There are pros and cons to everything, which is also helpless." Yan Liben said with emotion.

"Zhang Yang will not stick to a paper mill, he must have a way."

This is Cen Wenwen's discovery since he met Zhang Yang, this person has a lot of wonderful ideas, with his foresight, he really thinks that papermaking is a loss? Even if he achieves his goal now, there must still be articles in it.

Now, Li Shimin raised his head with his sword and said angrily: "Do you want me to go to Lishan and beg him?" ”

His Majesty was very angry and smashed the Manna Hall again, so that the palace would not put valuable objects in this palace.

It is necessary to find Zhang Yang's theory, and before that, Li Shimin still has a lot of things to do, especially this year's New Year.

On the outskirts of Chang'an City, on an official road ten miles away, the monk Huikuang braved the snow to ask for a cake in the hands of a seller selling braised pork outside the post house.

The dealer whispered a few words to the old monk.

Hearing this, Monk Huikuang hurriedly walked into Li Zhengzao's room with a few monks, opened his package, and sure enough, he found a cloth bag, opened the cloth bag, it was crystal white sugar, and it was indeed that sweet taste when he tasted it.

The old monk looked out of the window again, and the cart selling braised pork had already left.

Li Zhengzao hurriedly walked into the room, "The weather in Guanzhong is really cold, and it will be better after Tongguan." ”

Seeing the old monk sitting in his room, Li Zhengzao said again: "Why did you come to the old man's room?" ”

Monk Huikuang put the sugar on the table and said in a low voice: "Everyone knows the Luoyang white sugar case, dare to ask Mr. Li, where did you get the sugar?" ”
