The second wife's face changed a little.

These days, she has witnessed the endless stream of Confucian scholars, scholars are eager to ask for paper, and even come to the royal palace to steal paper, which is very difficult to find.

As long as you are not blind, you can see the infinite potential of the Hunhou Paper.

Although she hated Xiao Hunhou, she never disgusted with things that could earn money, and she couldn't help but have the idea of ​​taking the papermaking workshop under her control.

But, there is no right reason.

When Xiaohunhou took the initiative to ask her for a sum of 5,000 taels of silver, she still disdained her and didn't give it to her... Now when she thinks about it, she regrets it so much.

If she had approved the money at that time, she would now be able to bring the paper workshop legitimately, without even a discussion.

But Xiaohunhou did not get the money from her, but went to find the county chief to pay a sum of money.

The money for this papermaking workshop was privately produced by the princess Li Yu, and this papermaking workshop belongs to the princess's private property.

The prince did not nod and she could not take ownership of the paper workshop.

She instructed her confidant General Qian to find an opportunity to complain in front of the prince, just to complain to the prince.

But.

This is the wrong direction!

The prince and Xiaohunhou had only a few words to talk, but were actually led by Xiaohunhou and were concerned about the price of the new paper.

Is the prince planning to buy paper from his son-in-law?

This time, Li Yu and Xiao Hunhou were brought in. Shouldn’t it be that Xiao Hunhou was scolding Xiao Hunhou for putting paper in the thatched cottage in the small bamboo forest, which caused ridicule of Confucian scholars all over the world, and then directly took the papermaking workshop to the royal palace’s public property?

The second wife immediately gave a wink at General Qian, asking him to immediately break the wind direction that was deviated.

Mr. Qian understood it, bowed his body, and replied to Li Rong: "Prince, Rong Xiaoren reported to me. It is a great thing for my son-in-law to make paper... It is a bit inappropriate to put the new paper in the thatched cottage.

Every day, a group of Confucian scholars invited him to come to the small bamboo forest in the royal palace to steal paper. The royal palace suffered a considerable loss of money and reputation.

You know, hemp paper can be sold on the market for ten cents. This new paper has a high quality and is worth twenty cents per piece. Nearly one hundred pieces of paper are stolen a day, and at least several taels of silver are lost.

As the head of the mansion, the villain is responsible for the income and expenditure of various industries of the royal palace, and cannot ignore it... Can you ask the prince to allocate 5,000 taels of silver from the public account to buy the papermaking workshop for the princess and take the workshop to the royal palace account?"

When Li Yu heard this, he knew that the second wife was thinking about Xiao Hunhou's papermaking workshop and couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Qian wants to interfere with the princess's private account? The 5,000 taels of silver used for papermaking was spent from my private account. This papermaking workshop is my workshop. There is no rule for confiscation of private account in the Pingwang Mansion!"

Manager Qian bowed quickly and said anxiously: "The villain dares not, the princess misunderstood. This papermaking workshop is actually very risky. If there are very few scholars who buy paper, they will suffer a great loss. It is better to transfer the papermaking workshop to the public account. This huge risk is borne by the princess."

"Yu'er, don't blame Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian is also thinking about the princess's house. Papermaking is a long-lasting business. It has been a loss in the past ten years and can't make much money at all."

The second wife also helped explain and smiled: "Think about it, new paper can be made into books, and a few scholars can buy it with light pictures. But at this price, the price is twenty cents of copper coins per piece, and the number of children who can afford it is very small, so the sales volume is naturally small.

It would be better to pay a sum of 5,000 taels of silver from the royal palace account to the princess, and then transfer the papermaking workshop to the royal palace's public property.

This papermaking business will be long and you can gradually make some money. Our Wangfu family has a big business, and if you have more long-term income in the future, you will be much more abundant in expenses.

The royal mansion is more decent, and compared with other royal mansions and other royal mansions in Jinling, our mansions will not seem shabby."

"What the second wife said is very much, and this is what the villain thinks."

General Qian wiped his sweat and nodded repeatedly to agree. He was the confidant brought by the second wife from Xie's mansion, and he had to charge for the second wife and offend the princess.

Li Yu ignored the two of them and said coldly: "It's my business to lose money or make money in the papermaking workshop. I don't have to worry about my wife. There is no reason to let the royal palace bear the losses. Don't mention this matter again!"

The second wife was blocked by Li Yu's words and couldn't help but choke.

She didn't dare to force Li Yu's private property, she could only look at King Ping. Whether the papermaking workshop could be collected from the public account depends entirely on the prince's words.

"If Yu'er wants to keep the little product of papermaking, just keep it. It's easy to take care of... but don't ruin the reputation of the royal palace. Don't let those Confucian scholars and scholars go to the small bamboo forest for excuses... If someone asks for paper, let them bid for it!"

Li Rong thought for a moment and shook his head.

He almost understood the situation in the mansion when he heard the words of several people. The second wife should have wanted to take charge of the papermaking workshop personally, rather than letting Xiaohunhou and Li Yu take care of it.

This is what happened today.

But he wouldn't care about the little money in paper workshops.

Besides, this was the paper invented by his son-in-law Xiaohunhou, so he couldn't bear to see him.

Otherwise, it would have become a big joke in Jinling City if it is said that he bullied his son-in-law and seized his daughter's private property!

Even if the papermaking workshop has a high profit, it will only benefit his only daughter. In the future, Li Yu, the entire Pingwang Mansion capital, and the son of Xiaohunhou, will inherit the family business.

The fat and water don’t flow to outsiders, and the meat is all in their own pot. Why bother to worry about who is in charge of the papermaking workshop?

"Yes, Daddy!"

Li Yu nodded with a smile, then gave Chu Tianxiu a blank look. It was all the foolish things he did. The second wife took the opportunity to sue, which made her father scold him and almost robbed the papermaking workshop.

Chu Tianxiu just ate the meat with his head down.

He didn't interrupt, but saw the stepdaughter and stepmother fighting openly and secretly. Yu'er directly blocked the second wife's plan to usurp the papermaking workshop.

It seems that Yu'er is still stronger than her stepmother in the royal palace.

A small victory!

I haven't really taken action yet. Is this battle between the royal family? Is it considered Yu'er who won the battle with me?

When Li Rong said that the construction of a library was needed, Chu Tianxiu immediately agreed that it would cover all the papers he needed.

Of course, Li Rong was embarrassed to ask his son-in-law for nothing.

The money was paid from the public account at the price of a piece of paper of five-cent copper coins.

Things about scholars are never cheap.

A five-story library is full of books, which is a long-term big business, with at least tens of thousands of books on paper... and even more, which can make the paper workshops desperately increase their production.

Chu Tianxiu was happy and was thinking about how much money he could earn.

"Son-in-law, I heard from Yu'er that you have submitted the Sui Ju "Self-Recommendation Letter" to the Gongche Mansion? Is there any rejection of the Self-Recommendation Letter in the Gongche Mansion?"

After Li Rong talked about papermaking, he remembered another incident and asked.

"Yes, I handed it in a few days ago! It was not rejected."

Chu Tianxiu said quickly.

"It's so good that it has not been rejected by the Public Car Mansion. It should be handed over by the Public Car Mansion by Yang Jiang to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xie Zhuxiang will draft a list of personnel to be selected this year and handed over to His Majesty for personal review.

Xie Zhuxiang has a good temper and he rarely rejects the recommendation letter here. As for the emperor... you have prepared to make a question these few days. There are not a few days left before the palace examination in Laba."

Li Rong thought about it.

Prime Minister Xie’s little daughter is Xie Liyuan, and the head of the Xie family, Prime Minister Xie, is his father-in-law.

He thought about how to praise this young Hunhou who often does things without any trace in front of the emperor and help his son-in-law participate in the palace examination!

What is the highlight of a playboy who can even throw paper into the cottage?

Xiao Hunhou, who was covered in black and black, is difficult to find a shining point.
