Second Emperor Li's main goal for this trip had been successfully achieved, and he was in a good mood!
The few of them pushed their glasses and drank happily!
"I've been hearing from my daughter recently that you've invented a new method of making paper. The cost is very low.”Li Er asked.
"Indeed." Li Yun nodded.
"With the current price of paper, this deal can be profitable. Do you want us to continue working together?”Second Emperor Li continued to ask," It's still the same as selling glass. You provide the technology and leave the rest to me. We'll split the money we earn!”
However, Li Yun shook his head decisively.
"Old Li, there are many ways to earn money, but I can't give you this.”
"Why is that? Do you not trust me, Old Li?”Second Emperor Li hurriedly said," I've remembered the money you earned from selling the glass last time!”
"I said that because I trust you and we have a good relationship.”Li Yun patted his shoulder and said,
"Last time, when you were in urgent need of money, I agreed to sell Liu Li to scam the aristocratic families. Even if they realized that they were scammed, it would take a few years.”
"But the paper business is different. If you suddenly lower the price of paper, won't that affect the foundation of the aristocratic families?”
"I reckon your own family won't agree. You might even lose your life!”
"So don't think about this anymore!”
When Wei Zheng heard this, he was shocked and glanced at Second Emperor Li uneasily!
Before he came, he had no idea that Li Yun had a cheap way to make paper!
Could it be that His Majesty was really going to make a move against the aristocratic families?
Li Yun's analysis hit the nail on the head. If this cheap paper-making method was really popularized, the aristocratic families would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
At that time, it would definitely cause a huge commotion!
Thinking of this, he looked worriedly at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
The two of them also frowned. It seemed that they had also thought of this point.
"It's fine. I've naturally considered what you said. I'm not stupid enough to suddenly lower the price of the paper.”Li Er smiled.
"Lower the price a little and continue to sell the books to the aristocratic families. This way, we can earn a lot!”
"They've been collecting books for hundreds of years. As long as it's a book, they'll buy it no matter how expensive it is!”
"Since we've already cheated him once, it doesn't matter if we cheat him again!”
"As you said, slow knife kills!”
After he finished speaking, Li Yun hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
If this was the case, there was indeed not much risk and he could even earn a huge sum!
Then, he joked," You said that I keep an eye on Li Er every day. Aren't you also keeping an eye on the aristocratic families every day?”
"But your plan is not bad. I agree!”
"Alright, then it's settled. Yin Sheng!”His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and raised his glass in greeting.
For Li Yun, this business was indeed feasible.
He didn't have to spend much effort on it, and it could also alleviate the huge consumption of road construction. It was a pleasant surprise.
As for scamming the aristocratic families, he did not take it to heart.
He even dared to trick Li Er, why would he be afraid of this?
......
After the banquet, the host and guest were all happy.
Second Emperor Li and the others didn't stay any longer and left.
In the swaying carriage, Second Emperor Li asked,
"Xuan Cheng, do you believe Zhen's words this time?”
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
"So there really is such an expert in this world. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, this old minister would have found it hard to imagine.”
"What do you think of Li Yun?" Second Emperor Li continued to ask with interest.
Wei Zheng's face turned serious as he said," No one in the world can compare to such a genius.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people in the carriage revealed shocked expressions!
The one who spoke was Wei Zheng. Everyone knew his old-fashioned temper very well!
After working together for so many years, very few people heard Wei Zheng praise them, let alone use such exaggerated words!
Even the current Emperor rarely heard anything good from him!
"Xuan Cheng's evaluation of him is so high?”Second Emperor Li asked curiously.
"I'm not afraid that Your Majesty will laugh at me. This person's intelligence and knowledge made me feel ashamed for the first time.”Wei Zheng smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded in agreement.!
"Your Majesty, why don't you recruit this expert into the imperial court and let him farm in the countryside? Isn't that a waste of talent?”Wei Zheng asked.
When Li Er heard this question, he didn't want to answer.
I also wanted to confess, but he didn't come!
After a moment of silence, he replied dryly," This little bastard, you heard it too. He's been thinking about how to trick me.”
"He has some misunderstandings about me."
"And he said that he wanted to plant a field that was auspicious and prosperous.”
Wei Zheng was stunned at first, then he shook his head in amazement and said,
"Perhaps there are always some special people in the world.”
"Looking at this child's age, it's about time for him to start a family. This old minister's daughter is also at the age of marriage, how about it?"
Looking at Wei Zheng's bright eyes, Second Emperor Li was instantly amused!
This old man actually had this idea!
You have one daughter, but I have two!!
Before he could speak, Fang Xuanling smiled and said,
"You don't have to think about this matter. His Majesty's two princesses are about to move to that Li Manor.”
"What a pity, what a pity. I came too late!”Wei Zheng sighed regretfully.
His words also sounded the alarm for Second Emperor Li.
Lizhi was about to reach the age of marriage, and Li Yun was naturally an excellent candidate.
But what should he do about this marriage?
Thinking of this, Second Emperor Li couldn't help but have a headache.
......
The next day, after the morning court session.
Second Emperor Li happily came to the Administrative Hall.
Just now, in the morning court, he had announced the method of exchanging grain for highland wheat that he had obtained from Li Yun.
Without any suspense, he received a wave of worship and shock from the ministers. Once again, he successfully showed his divinity in front of others.
Therefore, he was in a good mood.
However, his good mood did not last long.
In the room, Empress Zhangsun was leaning against the couch with her hand on her forehead, her face full of helplessness.
Seeing that Second Emperor Li had arrived, she hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty, you came at the right time. Take care of your two daughters!”
"Aye!"
"Aye!"
Li Lizhi and Si Zi, who were sitting beside Empress Zhangsun, greeted her in unison.
"What's going on?" Li Er asked curiously.
"You'd better ask yourself!" Empress Zhangsun sighed.
Before he could speak, the little rhinoceros said softly,
"Ah Ye, I want to go to Yuhang with Brother Li Yun!”
Li Lizhi didn't say anything, but she looked at him with her big eyes.
" This..." His Majesty Li Er was a little dumbfounded!
"Your two precious daughters have been pestering ChenQie since yesterday, insisting on going to Yuhang with Li Yun.”Empress Zhangsun said with a headache," ChenQie can't do anything about it. Your Majesty, you should see for yourself what to do!”
Hearing this, Second Emperor Li's good mood was swept away!
The behavior of these two daughters made him feel very jealous. Not to mention their beauty, even his little cotton-padded jacket was not considerate!
In the past, he would receive a bowl of bird's nest soup from Lizhi when he returned from morning court.
However, ever since he met that little bastard Li Yun, he had never received such treatment again!
They had not even married yet!
And now, he actually made such an unreasonable request!
As the Royal Family's Eldest Princess, how could she do such a thing?
Second Emperor Li even suspected that Li Yun had secretly drugged his daughter!
That demure and gentle beauty actually knew how to make requests now!
However, these two daughters were his favorite. He could not bear to scold them, so he felt a little helpless for a moment.
"Tell Aye, why did he go to Yuhang with Li Yun?”Second Emperor Li sighed.
"Brother said that Yuhang is very beautiful, very fun, and there are many delicious things.”Little Si said seriously.
Li Er was speechless." That kid is talking nonsense. There's nothing fun in Yuhang. It's all swamps and Camphor Woods."”
"But he suggested bringing you along?”Second Emperor Li asked in an unfriendly tone.
" Yes, sister." Little Si shook his head. Before he could finish his sentence, Li Lizhi stopped him.
Second Emperor Li and Empress Zhangsun looked at her meaningfully at the same time. Li Lizhi's face instantly turned red as she lowered her head and said nothing.
Second Emperor Li sighed in his heart!
A grown woman can't be kept!
"Let Aye think about this. You guys go first!”A moment later, Second Emperor Li said after some deliberation.
Li Lizhi's big eyes lit up when she saw that Aye did not reject her immediately!
He pulled Si Zi and left shyly.
After the two of them left, Empress Zhangsun asked in surprise,
"Your Majesty, you won't really agree, will you?”
"I think if Lizhi goes with that kid, it might not be impossible.”Second Emperor Li said,
Then, he told Empress Zhangsun about the plan for the highland rape wine and the method of making paper.
"Tell me, the problem that stumped all the officials in the court was solved by him so easily. If he runs away, the loss will be too great!”
"When they come back, we'll settle the marriage. Guanyin maid, what do you think?”
"This…" Empress Zhangsun opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.
It was a mess, it was all a mess!
She had thought that Second Emperor Li would be unhappy and even reprimand him severely after hearing this.
She did not expect him to have such a reaction!
For a moment, she was in a daze. She had already thought very highly of Li Yun, but she did not expect that she had still far underestimated his position in the Emperor's heart!
Just as she was in a mess, Second Emperor Li said,
"This way, I'll have an excuse to get Li Junxian to protect me!”
"Yuhang isn't very safe. This kid is the foundation of our Great Tang.”
