"The Academy of Sciences really can't make waterproof paper and fireproof paper..."
Li Xuan looked a little haggard, obviously he had been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and it seemed that he really had no clue, otherwise he would not have given up so quickly.
"If you can't make it, let's forget about it. At worst, I won't eat paper-wrapped fish." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Mingzhu is very busy these days. You should pay close attention to the paper workshop, especially the method of making paper. Don't let it out. Go out, the people of the princess mansion, you also help take care of it."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching."
"Speaking of Mingzhu..." Li Xuan turned to look at him, hesitated for a moment before saying: "I know it's not easy for you, but Mingzhu is exhausted enough dealing with political affairs on weekdays, you... you should exercise some restraint and pay attention to your body. "
Li Yi looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What are we restraining?"
"Anyway, just be more restrained. Look at how tired she is..."
Watching Li Xuan turn and leave, Li Yi shook his head and murmured: "I don't know why..."
Fearing that he would forget, he reminded him again, "You must keep visiting the Yu family!"
"knew."
Li Xuan waved his hand to the back and walked out of the gate.
Yu Fu.
A steward of the Yu Mansion said to the middle-aged official sitting on the chair with a wry smile on his face: "My lord, it's really not that we don't want to help, it's just that the paper workshop of the Yu family only received a few large sums of money a few years ago. Shanzi, I really can't spare extra manpower..."
The middle-aged official thought for a while, and said again: "If the Yu family is willing to provide this batch of paper to the academy first, the price can be increased by one liter..."
"this… "
The manager had a look of embarrassment on his face, thought for a while, and said: "My lord, wait a moment, I will inform the Patriarch first."
Not long after, Yu Dingfeng, Marquis of Ningyuan, personally sent the officials of the Princess Mansion out and said, "Don't worry, my lord, what Your Highness the Princess has done is a good thing for the country and the people, and the Yu family is also doing their part for the country..."
"Thank you so much, Lord Hou, I will leave first..."
"Farewell!"
Seeing the official leave, an inexplicable smile appeared on Yu Dingfeng's face, and he walked back into the mansion.
"Father, is that why we promised the princess?" A young man came from a distance, followed behind him, and asked eagerly: "In this way, how will we explain to the Cui family and His Highness the King of Shu? "
"What do you know!" Yu Dingfeng glanced at him and said, "The demand for paper in the Academy is so large that no one except our Yu family can afford it. They offer such a high price, why not do it? The money was spent on this, I see how their academies will operate in the future, their academies can’t continue, we get money for nothing, not only will Concubine Cui not blame us, this matter is still a great achievement.”
After the young man was stunned, his face showed reverence, "Father is brilliant!"
Yu Dingfeng waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop flattering and say, what's the matter?"
"You can't hide anything from Daddy." The young man smiled embarrassingly, and said: "The third brother has been introspecting in the room for half a month, and the mother asked the boy to ask, when..."
"Don't mention that bastard to me!"
Hearing him talk about this matter, strong anger appeared on Yu Dingfeng's face. If it wasn't for that bastard who didn't open his eyes to offend the Chen family, how could that lunatic Chen Chong come to the government to ask for his crime? It took a lot of money to settle the matter, and it still hurts him to think about it now.
"A month is a month, one day less, even an hour less!" Yu Dingfeng said with a somber face, and asked, "Did you find that whore that day?"
The young man lowered his head and said, "Not yet. When I found the brothel, I heard that she redeemed herself that day and left. As for where she went, I don't know..."
Yu Dingfeng's face became even more gloomy. If he still doesn't know that the Yu family has been plotted against by others, he is not worthy of being the head of the Yu family.
As early as half a month ago, after listening to the few personal guards explain the events of that day in detail, he discovered that the woman's appearance and what she said were intentionally guiding that Nizi and that member of the Chen family. It was only when there was a conflict that Chen Chong called at the door. It was obvious that someone was plotting against the Yu family behind their backs!
Although I don't know who is behind the scenes, but the account with the Chen family will be settled sooner or later.
Originally, after knowing the identity of the other woman in the cloth village that day, he still had many scruples in his heart. After all, the youngest Doctor Jin Ziguanglu in the history was not a good person.
Fortunately, after such a long time, that person hasn't made any movement. I'm afraid... , have you forgotten about it
Well, he must have forgotten.
"The Yu family has already agreed?" When Li Yi walked out of the School of Mathematical Sciences, Li Xuan chased him out from behind, and after listening to him, he asked.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "I just agreed, should we release that paper now?"
"Don't worry." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Let them stock up first."
There was only a little grievance with the Yu family, but it has been half a month. With the addition of interest, the small grievance has long since become a big grievance. Bullying Mingzhu and Zuimo just let them lose their money, which is nothing, after all Although the money is gone, the people are still there.
When passing by a goulan, let Xu veteran's carriage stop. This goulan is the core of all the goulan in Kyoto. All the big and small matters of the goulan on weekdays will be gathered here. If Wan Ruoqing is not in Yangliu Lane, he will be here most of the time .
"Marquis Li County?"
When he walked into the Goulan, there was a voice behind him. Li Yi turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who walked in from the outside.
The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes took two steps forward, smiled, and said, "It's really the Marquis of Li County."
Li Yi's gaze swept across the man behind the middle-aged man, and then he looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"I'm Qin He." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Qin Xiang is my father."
Li Yigong cupped his hands: "So it's Mr. Qin."
"I don't dare to be an adult." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "The fifth eldest in the family, no official or job, just a common man, Li County Marquis, come to Goulan to watch a play?"
"I just looked at it casually..." Li Yi smiled, and asked casually, "I don't know which one Qin Wuye watched this time?"
""The Orphan of the Zhao Family"." Fifth Master Qin smiled and said, "This play is really good. I don't know who wrote it. This is the third time I've watched it."
Li Yi said in surprise: "It turns out that Fifth Master likes to watch this kind of drama of forbearance and revenge..."
Qin Wuye smiled and shook his head: "It's just a casual look, a casual look..."
After chatting with the fifth master of the Qin family for a while without saying a word, the other party entered a fence. After Li Yi stopped outside for a while, he looked away and walked towards the small building inside with ease.
"Young Master Li."
Inside the small building, there were still several women who were busy. When they saw Li Yi coming in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Master, are you looking for Miss Ruoqing? The girl is upstairs."
Li Yi smiled and nodded at them, walked up the stairs, and lightly knocked on the door of a certain room.
"Come in."
When Li Yi pushed the door and entered, Wan Ruoqing was writing something at his desk without raising his head, and said softly: "Two new plays have been released recently, and the repertoire needs to be rearranged; the costumes should be ready soon. , wait until tomorrow to remind them; the two Goulan in the east of the city are a little short of manpower, they need to be transferred..., ah, you are here."
There was no sound coming from the door. She looked up, and after being slightly startled, she immediately stood up.
Li Yi walked over slowly and said, "You don't have to arrange these trivial matters yourself, the people below can also do it well..."
Wan Ruoqing smiled and said, "There is nothing left and right, so I just do what I can do."
"You, how many times have I said it, but I have never listened to it once." Li Yi looked at her, shook his head, and said helplessly.
Talking and chatting with her has always been so soft-spoken, she is a real woman as gentle as water, no matter how impetuous the mood is, with her for a short moment, she can quickly calm down.
It's just that when I passed by here, I stopped by to see her, talked about some things, told her to rest more and not to be too tired, and then refused her move to go downstairs to see her off, said goodbye and left.
Above the small building, a soft gaze, through the window, watched him step out of the fence and stop at the place where his back disappeared.
The figure was leaning against the window, just staring blankly, watching... until the sky darkened.
