Chapter 43 Sun Cheng forced him to hand over papermaking
The emperor decided to privately make sure that his daughter-in-law would paint a picture of himself and Xuan'er alone.
"Granddaughter-in-law, this is the best gift I received for my grandfather's birthday. The granddaughter-in-law has a heart. "The grandfather wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, in fact, the words of his granddaughter-in-law are the life he wants. Children and grandchildren around the knees. Domestic bliss. It's a pity that his hard-working Xuan'er, but he still has Han'er, Kai'er, and three lovely grandsons, and he should be content, and he can't be too greedy.
"Princess Fuxing, you have to draw too well, why haven't we seen the pure white paper you said? Where did this come from? The paper we've seen is brownish-black, not so white at all. The ministers below finally couldn't help but ask their own questions.
Shi Lian motioned to the guards to hand over the painting to her grandfather's person. Those who didn't see the painting told them not to take it away and let them see it. Shi Lian asked the guards to show it.
"This paper is something I stumbled upon in a miscellaneous book. After marrying the prince, he broke his leg and was bored in the palace, so he studied it with the guards. The results really made me research it. In the future, our Gongyu Dynasty will also have its own paper, and we will no longer have to look at Yaoguo's face. Shi Lian said impassionedly.
"Princess Niangniang, you are really the lucky star of our Gongyu Dynasty. In the future, our Gongyu Dynasty will no longer have to exchange gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques with Yaoguo because of paper. "There is a minister who said with tears in his eyes.
"Princess Fuxing, since she has paper-making skills, she must hand it over to the emperor. In this way, my Miyayu Dynasty has papermaking. Other countries will definitely exchange gold, silver, jewelry, and rare antiques for my Gong Yu, so that our Gong Yu Dynasty will become more powerful. Prime Minister Sun Zhong said meaningfully.
"I said, sir, don't be whimsical, this papermaking technique is mine. Why should I give to the state? Isn't he fragrant when I make my own money? You're stupid. Shi Lian scolded Sun Zhong in a fool's tone. Sun Zhong almost vomited blood.
"Princess Fuxing, what you said is not right, this kind of technology can only be handed over to the state. in order to better benefit the people. I think Princess Fuxing understands the righteousness and will definitely hand over the technology to His Majesty the Emperor. Sun Chong gave Shi Lian a moral kidnapping.
"Prime Minister Sun, is this bullying the princess of this king? The princess of this king said that she would not give it, did Prime Minister Sun Cheng want to come hard? Gong Yuhan said in a cold tone. This Sun Chong is too ignorant to bully the princess of his family. It's too long to live.
"Lord Zhan, the old minister doesn't dare, the old minister just wants to hand over this technology to the country, so that it can better benefit the people." Sun Chong said with some lack of confidence. What he actually thought was that when the princess of war handed over the technology, he would be like the emperor and let the emperor hand over the papermaking piece to his henchmen, and then there would be endless oil and water.
If this is in the hands of the princess of war, he can't see a single son. and be suppressed by them everywhere.
"Prime Minister Sun, my granddaughter-in-law has already said that she will not give it, why are you aggressive, what you know is that your Prime Minister Sun Cheng asked my granddaughter-in-law for a secret recipe for the country. I don't know, I thought it was you, Prime Minister Sun. Do you want to keep the secret recipe for yourself? ”
The father-in-law couldn't stand it, and Prime Minister Sun bullied his grandson's daughter-in-law. directly pointed the finger at Prime Minister Sun Cheng, and said that he wanted to monopolize the secret recipe of papermaking. Prime Minister Sun Cheng suddenly trembled with fright. If the emperor is suspicious and suspicious, he will have to do it.
"Master Guo, you misunderstood the lower officials, the lower officials, how can you take it for yourself? The lower officials just want to help the people for welfare, you think! This papermaking technique was handed over to the state, and the state arranged for people to make it. In this way, many people can have jobs, and if they have jobs, they will have income.
In addition, the money from the sale of paper can go into the treasury, and the treasury is full. It can help the people reduce and reduce taxes, killing two birds with one stone. Do you think so? The more Sun Chong said, the more he felt that what he said made sense. did not forget to incite hundreds of officials to help him.
Hum! As long as that stupid princess hands over the secret recipe. He will have a way to get the secret recipe, and he will be able to make paper himself when the time comes. With his connections, he could imagine a lot of gold smashing at him. Ha ha!
"What Prime Minister Sun Cheng said is extremely true! Lian'er, you will hand over the secret recipe to the emperor. At this time, the official department was still noble, and he also stood up to persuade Shi Lian.
Shi Lian laughed angrily, how could this old man have him everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that he was the father of the original owner. I'm going to kill him in seconds. Just give him a jump here.
"I implore the princess of war to hand over the secret recipe for the benefit of the people." At this time, Sun Jing'er smiled evilly at the corner of her mouth, and shouted a sentence in the crowd, and the effect of this sentence was quite large.
"I implore the princess of war to hand over the secret recipe for the benefit of the people." The officials present and their relatives all left their seats and knelt on the ground, begging the princess to hand over the secret recipe of papermaking.
"I implore the princess of war to hand over the secret recipe for the benefit of the people."
"I implore the princess of war to hand over the secret recipe for the benefit of the people."
“……”
The crowd spoke several times in succession. Gong Yuhan's face was very bad, Shi Lian looked at him with a blue face, smiled softly at him, and gently held his hand to comfort him.
The father-in-law, the uncle and the late mother, they are one by one. The face is not good. This group of people is so bold. actually bullied his granddaughter-in-law and nephew and daughter-in-law. I simply don't take them seriously. And it was also at the birthday banquet of the father-in-law.
The emperor was already on the verge of wrath. This group of waste, usually when there is something to do, they all act as shrunken turtles. But now the daughters-in-law who are bullying him are scrambling one by one. and at his father-in-law's birthday party, he bullied his daughter-in-law. It just doesn't make sense.
"Zhong Aiqing used to like to kneel to attend the birthday banquet. Then kneel down in place and continue the birthday banquet of the grandfather. The emperor said plainly.
Everyone thinks that the law does not blame the people. Who knows that the emperor does not play according to the routine.
Listened to this. When the people in the palace of Gong Yuhan were in love, they almost burst into laughter. If it weren't for the fact that it was in front of everyone. They must have laughed heartily, everyone knew that the emperor was a short-sighted. I especially love Gong Yuhan.
Now he loves the house and his daughter-in-law. The emperor was spoiled together.
"Wechen obeys."
"The courtiers obey."
"The courtiers obey."
The faces of the people were the color of pig's liver. You can only kowtow to obey the order. One by one, they returned to their seats and knelt.
This can be described as the most enjoyable birthday banquet that the father-in-law has ever had in his life.
"Since this papermaking technique belongs to Princess Fuxing. So who dares to use the crooked mind of papermaking, there is no forgiveness. Emperor Gong Yu Haotian swept the crowd under him with sharp eyes. Dare to bully his daughter-in-law. One by one, I was impatient.
"The ministers don't dare." The ministers were frightened. said one after another.
"Father, don't be angry. Ministers need not be uncomfortable. At this time, Shi Lian spoke.
"This paper-making technique is indeed mine. But I didn't say that it should not be used for the benefit of the people! Isn't your purpose to use papermaking for the benefit of the people? No problem at all!
I've already planned it with Lord Zhan. We're going to start a library in Kyoto. Ministers may also participate. You can have any good collection of books at home, and donate them to our library free of charge or for a fee.
I would make a book out of paper. When the time comes, let poor students come to my library to copy books and make money......"
"Princess Zhan, are you a fool when we are civil and military officials? You opened a library to make money, and you even want us to donate books for you, you don't think we are wronged. Before Prime Minister Sun Cheng finished speaking, he took the lead. Hum! Finally let him get his chance. This stupid princess is really stupid. I was only thinking about how to make money.
"Princess Fuxing, what is a library?" The emperor glared at Prime Minister Sun. Prime Minister Sun Cheng immediately shut up, and there were a few ministers who were ready to count the fallen love together. Seeing the emperor's appearance, he immediately didn't dare to squeak.
Gong Yu Haotian wondered what the library was talking about. Why have I never heard of it?
"Back to my father. The library is exactly what the name suggests. It's about having all your books in one place. for people to watch. Shi Lian replied with a smile to Gong Yu Haotian's words.
"Put all the books together for people to see?" Gong Yu Haotian was very puzzled.
"Yes, Father. Library, daughter-in-law is preparing to rent a shop in a prosperous area of Kyoto. Collect all kinds of books from all over the world. It can be a buy-in. It can also be donated by caring people.
Once the books are in the library, we organize them into categories. I'm recruiting some poor students. The bamboo slip book was re-copied onto the paper book.
In the future, we will separate bamboo slips from paper books. The bamboo slips are the original books, and we will keep them. Paper books will be circulated in the future.
Whether it is officials, students or ordinary people. You can come to the library to read books for free. If the books are taken out, we will charge a deposit and a fee for a few days to take them out. All take-out books must be returned to the library.
If it is not returned, the deposit will be deducted. There is no charge for coming to the library to read books and copy books. Good copy of the book. They can also be sold to us.
This is the basic operating model of a library. Wait for the Kyoto Library to stabilize. I'll open the library throughout the Miyawa Dynasty. In this way, people all over the world can read books for free.
Uncle, do you say that this princess is doing this for the benefit of the people? Shi Lian looked at Prime Minister Sun Chong with a wicked smile.
"Who knows, what the war princess said is really free." Sun Chong's face turned blue and white for a while. It's like a color palette. Didn't you say that the War Princess was a fool? These words are spoken. I don't feel stupid at all.
"Akan, I didn't miss anything when I said it! I've memorized these words for a few days. "When everyone thought that the princess of war was very shrewd. Shi Lian immediately lay on Gong Yuhan and was coquettish.
At this time, it dawned on everyone. What the War Princess just said was taught by the War Prince. And it took a few days to memorize it. There is no doubt that the big guy behind this is Gong Yuhan. No wonder the emperor is on the side of the princess.
