Chapter 179; Leisure

As soon as she said this, the eldest princess of Ningyang, the county lord of Qingyang, and Huo Junyao were all silent.

Naturally, they could see what the emperor meant.

What kind of virtue is the current prince, they can't be clearer, and they are already indistinguishable from being fooled by a Zhao Yan'er.

If it continues like this, when he ascends the throne in the future, then the country of this Yu Dynasty will really be a little unclear about what the surname is.

As for the King of Qi and the King of Chu, don't look at these two people who are very happy now, they seem to be very brainy and powerful.

But as far as the two of them are concerned, it's really not enough to see.

The water in the Yu Dynasty is very deep, and there are not only supporters behind these two people, but also many founding dignitaries.

The vast majority of these people are characters who have come from the sea of corpses and blood, and they are not something that anyone can suppress.

In addition to these, there is an even larger and more terrifying group, and that is the gentry.

Don't look at the fact that these two people seem to have the support of the Shi clan behind them, but they are just some small Shi clans, or the maiden family of their mother and concubine.

Far from representing the true scholars.

These people are all human spirits, otherwise why would figures like Emperor Taishang and Emperor Zhaowu be restrained by them?

Looking at Emperor Zhaowu's current three adult princes, none of them have a reliable role, so Emperor Taishang will naturally move some thoughts.

King Qin, although he is not the son of Emperor Zhaowu, but his name is very correct, and people really can't say too much.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, he is the real eldest grandson.

It's just that it is very difficult and dangerous for King Qin to ascend to the throne, not to mention whether Emperor Zhaowu can agree, even if he can agree, what about the queen? What about the crown prince and the king of Qi, the king of Chu, and the supporters behind them?

So although Emperor Taishang had this thought, after Emperor Zhaowu refused, he didn't say anything.

He knew very well that if he talked too much, he was afraid that King Qin would be able to live without peace in the future.

"Maybe I haven't seen you for years, so I miss it a little."

It was Huo Junyao who broke the silence with a smile, and then continued to speak; "Eldest sister, second sister-in-law, it's rare for you to come here, what do you want to eat today? I'll have someone get it for you. ”

"I heard that Xiaomei has a lot of food here, you can look at it."

The county lord of Qingyang also spoke.

Looking at Fang Zhilan again, after asking the question just now, seeing that the three of them were silent for a while, she immediately understood in her heart that she was only afraid that there would be something inconvenient to say.

At this time, seeing Huo Junyao change the topic, he also chatted along the way.

In the evening, the eldest princess of Ningyang took the county lord of Qingyang and Fang Zhilan to bid farewell to the hot spring villa and return to the capital.

Huo Junyao returned to the room and asked Red Sleeves about some of the situation in the workshop, according to the previous arrangement she had arranged, Red Sleeves was responsible for business matters, and she would also go over to take a look from time to time.

However, in the past few days, I have been busy with the affairs of Xiaohuangzhuang, but I don't have time to check it.

"There's nothing wrong with that, and the production and income are stable every day."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao didn't ask too much, after all, there are only two brick factories and paper workshops in the industrial zone she planned, and the brick and tile factory has temporarily stopped production because it has been busy with Xiaohuangzhuang recently.

That is to say, at present, there is only the matter of the paper workshop that needs to be stared at, which is now on the right track, and a lot of paper is produced every day, although because of this period of time, the demand for paper in the capital has slowly become saturated, and the business has declined.

But the daily income is also quite considerable, and as for the outward expansion, she hasn't thought about it yet.

This paper workshop can be set up, thanks to the Zheng family, the Shi clan has been diverted, but if you want to continue to expand externally, this is equivalent to a comprehensive land grabs with the Shi clan.

Last time, it was because she wanted to take revenge on the Zheng family, the teacher was famous, and the scholar clan also took enough benefits, so naturally she wouldn't say anything.

However, if it expands rapidly and compresses the paper market in other places, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

This is the first reason, the second reason, of course, is that she still does not have enough manpower in her hands, and she is completely unable to expand outward on a large scale.

Moreover, she didn't plan to operate the outward expansion by herself, and it was better for the emperor to do these things than for her to do.

Anyway, this paper workshop has the emperor's mixture is something that everyone knows, let the emperor go up to expand, first, talk about the past, second, these troubles, she doesn't want to worry about it herself.

She is also not the majority shareholder of the paper mill.

No, she continued to be busy with the harvest of Xiaohuangzhuang, and in the palace, Emperor Zhaowu had just returned to the imperial study after returning to the imperial study that day, and dealt with government affairs for a while, and suddenly remembered the matter of paper.

immediately put down the government affairs in his hand and took Gao Fu to Da'an Palace.

Earlier, he heard that Huo Junyao had sent the first month's dividend of the paper workshop, and there were thousands of dollars, but he was invited to see the corn before he had time to go over.

After that, it was potatoes or something, and he and his ministers were discussing these things in the past two days, after all, food is the foundation of a dynasty, and it naturally needs to be studied by Haosheng.

It's not that as soon as he says promotion, he can immediately promote it.

The territory of the Yu Dynasty is relatively large, and the new grain this time, whether it is corn or potatoes, is a good thing, but there is also a problem, that is, the Yu Dynasty has never appeared before.

When you promote it, you run to tell others that this thing can yield more than 1,000 catties per mu, who will believe it?

It can be said that if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, if someone else told him, his first reaction would definitely not be to believe it.

Besides, there are only a few potatoes, and seeds need to be cultivated.

There were a lot of things and they were troublesome, so he didn't suddenly remember them until today.

It is said that it is sudden, but in fact, it is not sudden, but because the Yu Dynasty is very poor now, and today I heard that there is a drought in the following places that need silver money and food relief.

Although there are still some in the treasury at present, there are not many, and he wants to make money, so he remembered the matter of the paper workshop.

When he arrived at Da'an Palace, the Emperor Taishang was leisurely drinking tea, and when he saw him coming, he didn't say much.

"Father, what happened to the paper workshop?"

Hearing this, the Emperor raised his eyebrows and said; "The old man thought you didn't ask."

Emperor Zhaowu said with a sneer; "How is it possible, it's just that I've been busy discussing the promotion of corn recently."

"Well, this is the most important thing, how did the discussion go?"

"Erchen plans to slowly figure it out, first promote it around the capital, as soon as the previous thing about corn has spread, more or less people around the capital have heard about it, so it is faster to accept it."

He really wanted to promote it as soon as it came up, but the conditions for this thing really didn't allow it.

Therefore, we can only retreat to the next best thing, and spread outward little by little with the capital as the center, so that the number of people who slowly understand will increase, and at the same time, a large number of seeds can be recycled stably, which is convenient for large-scale promotion in the future.
