At the entrance of the palace, Red Sleeves showed Huo Junyao's token, and after the guards checked it, they asked Red Sleeves to wait for a while.

Not long after, a palace man hurried to Da'an Palace.

When Duan Li saw the visitor, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked; "What are you doing in a hurry? Don't know what this place is? ”

"Duan's father-in-law forgives his sins, and the small ones have something to report."

Hearing this, Duan Li nodded slightly, and asked with slightly raised eyes; "Tell me something."

"Someone came to the gate of Shicai Palace to report, and the red-sleeved girl beside the county lord of Zhaode asked to see her, saying that the county lord of Zhaode asked him to send something to the emperor."

As soon as he heard Lord Zhaode, Duan Li's originally lazy expression immediately retracted, and his eyes burst out with a fine light.

"You wait."

After speaking, he turned around and entered the palace where the Emperor Taishang was resting, and then respectfully walked to the edge of the bed and called in a low voice.

After a while, the Emperor Taishang opened his eyes leisurely, and Duan Li hurriedly explained the matter.

"That girl has someone send something again? Just let people in. ”

Duan Li responded, turned around and asked a little chamberlain to pass the word, and he himself was waiting for the emperor to get up and change his clothes.

After a while, the red sleeves came, and the emperor also packed up.

Seeing the red sleeves, the emperor didn't have a stand, and asked with a smile; "Your county lord, what did you want to send again?"

Hearing this, the red sleeves saluted respectfully before speaking; "Back to the emperor, the county lord asked the slave maid to send you money."

"Money? What money? ”

Then Red Sleeves told him about the fact that the paper workshop had been open for a month, and at the same time did not forget to take out the account book and respectfully hand it over.

"In the past month, the workshop has made a total profit of 5,000 yuan in addition to all the capital, and the county lord said that according to the original agreement, you take half of it, that is, 2,500 yuan, and the county lord asked the slave maid to send it to you."

As soon as he heard this, the Emperor Tai, who had just gotten the account book, was suddenly shocked.

"Profit of 5,000 a month?"

Five thousand guan is not much for him, a former emperor, but from another point of view, it is also a lot.

One workshop can make a profit of 5,000 yuan a month, but what if you get ten? Or a hundred?

You must know that there are many cities in the Yu Dynasty, and there are also many scholars, if this workshop is opened all over the Yu Dynasty, it will be a lot of wealth.

Not to mention that you can get 5,000 guan every month, but two or three thousand guan should be fine, two or three thousand in a workshop, ten is 20,000 or 30,000, and 100 is 230,000.

The Yu Dynasty only has a lot of money from taxes in a year, but it is only a few million guan, and since this workshop can also earn millions of guan in a year, this is too terrible, right?

But the next moment, he thought of those scholars, no wonder the Zheng family would come to threaten at the beginning, it turned out that the income of this paper workshop was so huge.

What about the other industries in the hands of the nobles?

At this moment, he seemed to understand a little bit why there was a "hundred-year dynasty, a thousand-year-old clan." "That's it.

These guys have so many things in their hands, and they keep asking the court to stretch out their hands, fattening them personally, but making the court a miasma, and even ruining the country.

"Yes, you have the accounts of the past month."

The Emperor Taishang came back to his senses, looked down at the accounts, and he was shocked when he saw it, this price was so cheap, several times cheaper than the previous rice paper, even so, this month's income is still so terrible.

He instantly understood that this was a big piece of fat.

But more than that, he was happy, because he had already gotten a lot of this big fat meat.

This is not for Huo Junyao's paper workshop, but for the entire Yu Dynasty's paper market.

The Shi clan has always been his heart disease, but there has been no good way to restrain it, but now after Huo Junyao's efforts, he actually grabbed such a piece of fat from the Shi clan.

"Hahaha, okay, Yao girl should be rewarded."

This is not only related to his income, but also related to the entire Yu Dynasty, although it is only a small step, but this step is also a step that he and his son Emperor Zhaowu have not been able to take for so many years.

Now because of Huo Junyao, they have taken this step and won a big victory, which is a great thing.

Redsleeves smiled and saluted again.

"All this is thanks to your old master, otherwise this paper workshop would not have been able to get up."

Hearing this, the Emperor Taishang was even more happy, and asked Duan Li to reward the red sleeves with fifty yuan.

"Emperor Taishang, when the slave maid came, the young lady told the slave maid to ask the Emperor Taishang to go to her small imperial village outside the city, and she said that there was a bigger surprise for you."

"He also said that if it is convenient, it is best to ask the emperor to join him."

"Oh? And the surprises? ”

The Emperor Taishang was very happy, but when he thought of his identity, this trip out of the palace was too much to motivate the public.

He wanted to refuse, but the red sleeves below could almost see his thoughts, and said again; "The surprise given by Miss this time is related to the people of the world, and I implore the Emperor to go."

"That's right."

The Emperor pondered for a moment, he loved Huo Junyao's granddaughter very much.

If it was said that he loved Wu and Wu because of Ningyang's relationship before, then after a series of getting along, he also loved this granddaughter from the bottom of his heart.

Sensible, capable, and not messing around.

"Okay, since Yao Yatou said so, the old man will go over and take a look."

"Duan Li, you go and inform the emperor and ask him to come over and accompany the old man to go out."

Not long after, Emperor Taishang and Emperor Zhaowu changed into ordinary clothes, and without bringing a few people, they followed the red sleeves out of the palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the capital, I met the eldest princess of Ningyang and her family of three who were waiting here.

"Jingzhi, you have a good daughter."

As soon as he saw Huo Jingzhi, Emperor Zhaowu opened his mouth with a complicated face.

Emperor Shicai had already told him about the paper workshop, and this profit also frightened him, and at the same time he was glad that they had achieved such a victory from the hands of the scholars.

He was happy to be happy, but when he thought of the past, he was a little unhappy.

It's not against Huo Junyao, but at himself, to put it bluntly, he regrets what he did at the beginning.

Otherwise, there would not be a rift between himself and this niece.

"Doesn't the imperial brother also have a good son, my family Yaoyao can't compare."

Huo Jingzhi hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the eldest princess of Ningyang on the side said first.

Since the previous New Year's banquet, the eldest princess of Ningyang has not entered the palace, even if the emperor invites her, she refuses.

Obviously, there is a lot of resentment in the heart of the emperor.

Seeing Emperor Zhaowu's appearance at this time, she didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she naturally had to taunt her.

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Zhaowu was even more helpless.

And the Emperor Taishang on the side, naturally standing on his daughter's side, glanced at Emperor Zhaowu lightly and said; "If your son doesn't change, I'm afraid this Yu Dynasty won't be good in the future."
