16 Jia Sheng vents his anger(1/2)

Di'er came back from a papermaking workshop in the suburbs and saw Zuer depressedly taking a stack of paper to the small bamboo forest. He asked, and then he realized that the first batch of new paper made by his son-in-law had come out.

She reported the matter to the princess and complained: "Princess, the papermaking workshop has invested thousands of taels of silver, not a small amount of money. The paper made by my son-in-law actually piled them into the thatched cottage."

Li Yu was a little surprised. The paper was so fast. "What is the quality of the paper made by my son-in-law?"

"I brought you a piece of paper. This is the first batch of new paper. My son-in-law called it Hunhou paper."

Di'er said immediately.

Li Yu took it, his beautiful eyes lit up, and he looked at the paper of Hunhou.

Good paper!

The texture is fine and uniform, with excellent quality, and the fibers are much finer than hemp paper.

She couldn't help but be amazed.

I stroked my jade hand for a while, and it was smooth and shiny, and it smelled light.

It was the new paper made by my husband, which was much better than the hemp paper with a piece of ten-month copper coins... even better than she expected.

Alas, why is my husband’s hobbies different?

Li Yu thought for a moment, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

If she went to persuade her, she would be afraid that she would annoy her husband again and make him unhappy. She spent thousands of taels of silver to make him do serious business, and it would be in vain.

“This paper is excellent, and it is a bit inappropriate to use in thatched cottages.

But Xiao Hunhou is so in nature and loves to use luxury goods. Since he has to do this, let him go.

Anyway, when the paper is placed in the thatched cottage, others dare not use it. He uses it himself, and he can't use much copper coins in a day. A month is just one or two taels of silver, which is nothing.

Why do you make you blush again because of such a trivial matter?"

Li Yu didn't want to worry about it.

In her opinion, it was a small matter of how many taels of silver.

When there is too much paper produced in the future, you can sell it with some paper and try to lose as little as possible.

...

Pingwang Mansion.

In a remote corner of the bamboo forest, three servants of the royal palace were guarding the cottage honestly, with red faces, embarrassed and helpless.

They were captured here by Zuer and did not do anything else, so they specifically guarded the Hunhou Paper in the thatched cottage.

"Available, no stealing!"

This is the rule set by my son-in-law.

The son-in-law is the master, and they must listen to the master's words.

But after they stayed for a long time, no one dared to go to the thatched cottage of Xiao Zhulin, and no one dared to learn from Xiao Hunhou to wipe the filth with paper.

My son-in-law dares to use it, but other servants try it with hemp paper. I dare to learn from my son-in-law's splendor, and I am not afraid of being beaten to death by the manager Qian?!

No one dares to steal.

It was strictly prohibited under the rule of Prince Ping's Mansion. Almost all the guards were the prince's personal soldiers, and the servants were slaves for generations, without any short-term workers or temporary workers.

No servant would steal papers. Once he found out that he was punished, he would lose a lot of money if he lost his iron job in the royal palace.

The three of them guarded outside the cottage, doing nothing, and complained secretly.

"What do you think about the son-in-law? He took thousands of taels of silver from the princess to make paper, and made high-quality and precious good paper, but they all piled up the cottage?~!"

"Even hemp paper costs ten cents of copper coins. This new paper is several times better, so he is willing to use it to wipe the filth?"

"Oh, Hun Hou didn't know that paper is precious! He didn't know how we servants, who treat paper like treasures, even writing is too luxurious... He actually..."

"I used to hear from scholars in Jinling City that Xiaohunhou was more playboy than other aristocratic families. He was the leader of the four major playboys in Jinling. When I first met my son-in-law a few days ago, I always felt that this was exaggerated.

This time I have seen it. Is the best playboy in Jinling or the most light-hearted, and the best playboy in the world deserves its reputation!”

"I have also heard that Xiaohunhou once squandered 1,000 taels of silver in one day, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were all lost in less than a year. He didn't care, is it expensive for paper money?"

They were talking bitterly and whispered.

This small bamboo forest in a remote corner has also become lively.

This incident had spread rapidly in Prince Ping's Mansion, and many guards and servants were talking in surprise in private, even not believing it.

In order to prove it, many people came to Xiaozhulin to see and found that there were indeed three servants guarding the thatched cottage. Only then did they believe that this was the case.

When the headmaster Qian from the royal palace heard about this outrageous thing, he felt sorry for the wasted papers, so he came to Xiaozhulin to see if it was true.

Unexpectedly, there were really three servants guarding the cottage outside, and there was a very beautiful stack of paper inside that I had never seen before.

"What are you doing when you guard this thatched cottage?"

Manager Qian was stern.

"The chief manager, Miss Zuer said that it was the son-in-law who ordered us and the three of us to guard the dumb marquis in this thatched cottage... We are allowed not to steal!"

A servant hurriedly said.

Manager Qian thought for a long time but couldn't say anything.

The money was given by the princess.

The paper was made by my son-in-law.

His second wife’s confidant chief manager really doesn’t care about how the master Xiaohunhou uses paper.

Manager Qian was wandering around outside the cottage in annoyance for a few times. He had no choice but to go back to report the matter to the second wife.

...

The next day, Jia Sheng came to the private school of the royal palace, but heard that the servants in the palace looked mysterious and excited, and they secretly discussed it.

Speaking of my son-in-law's papermaking workshop, a new paper called "Huanghou Paper" has been created.

The exceptional quality is far better than the previous hemp paper.

Unfortunately, such a good thing was thrown into the cottage by my son-in-law.

Jia Sheng was surprised when he heard this.

Isn’t this a treasure jade bead destroyed by a war?

The private school of the Wangfu has always lacked paper for writing, and it is not good to give him these papers.

He hurried to Yuyuan and excitedly asked to see Xiaohunhou, who was much more respectful than before. "Little Marquis! I heard that Xiaohunhou's workshop has made a batch of new paper, which is of high quality, far better than hemp paper?!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Chu Tianxiu was calm.

"Since it is owned, I hope the little marquis can supply a batch to the private school of the royal family and the children of the Li family to copy books to replace the bulky and inconvenient bamboo slips.

The Li family members have always suffered from the fact that there are not many books in the mansion and their literary spirit is not strong. If there are enough books, they can promote the literary fortune of the prince's mansion, and it will be of great benefit to the son-in-law... The prince will definitely praise the young marquis' talents!"

Jia Sheng quickly said something nice.

"Don't flatter me, how many copper coins are worth?"

Chu Tianxiu didn't even think about it and refused, "This marquis has just come out, and the thatched cottage is not enough. If you want paper in a private school, you can, just spend money to buy it.

Mr. Jia, go find the second wife and ask her to allocate some money to buy the Hunhou paper for the private school of the royal palace. Tell her that every twenty cents can not be lost, and I will sell her as much as she wants!"

Private schools need paper, which is the business of the royal family. Of course, you have to pay the money from the royal family account and ask him to provide paper to the private school. Haha, don’t dream.

Jia Sheng was confused.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hunhou refused so decisively.

No matter how much thatched cottage is enough, this is clearly an excuse, I don’t want to give it to you.

Twenty cents a piece is worth the daily meal of an ordinary family. The rich people think it is too expensive to copy books, so who would be willing to throw them all in the toilet?

Xiaohunhou would rather put the paper in the thatched cottage than give it to the private school of the royal palace. This was obviously annoying that Jia Sheng, the second wife, and she didn't want to give it to the private school for free, so she wanted the royal palace to pay a large price to buy it.

But the second wife is so stingy, it would be strange if she is willing to pay a lot of money to buy paper for a private school!

Jia Sheng couldn't get the paper, Yu Angry said goodbye and wandered around the palace indignantly.

He hasn't seen new paper yet.

Is this paper so good? It only takes twenty coins to open your mouth?!

Just go and have a look for it yourself.

Jia Sheng came to the thatched cottage in the small bamboo forest of the royal palace.

"Oh, I ate the wrong thing and had a colic in my stomach. Hurry up and go to the cottage."

He held his stomach and shouted, and without having time to stop the three servants, he became the first person in the Pingwang Mansion to rush into the small bamboo forest cottage.

Jia Sheng took a look.

There is really a small stack of newly made Huohou paper in the thatched cottage.
