Chapter 755: Warm and hospitable Guo Fengxiao: Come and have tea if you have nothing to do! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
Liu Xie took the rice paper. The paper was smooth and soft, much better than the paper of the Han Dynasty.
He opened the cabinet again and took out a roll of rice paper brought from the real world. After comparing them with each other, he felt that the feel, color and flexibility of the rice paper made in the industrial area were very close to the high-end ones in the real world. Rice paper.
Yang Xiu said proudly:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. When we made it, we followed the ancient rice paper process every step of the way. There was no overstep. It is only natural that the quality is good."
Liu Xie: "..."
Modern people call ancient method rice paper because it is indeed a practice handed down from ancient times, but there is no need for us big men to mention the word ancient method, right?
In terms of process flow, the word "古" on ancient rice paper is most likely finalized during the Tang and Song dynasties, and was the result of improvements during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has nothing to do with the Han Dynasty.
He spread the rice paper on the table, took up his pen and wrote in regular script the long and short sentences "Can draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, shoot at the wolf", and then said:
"It's very smooth to write, very good. How much output can you produce in a day now?"
Yang Xiu held a fan and fanned the rice paper, preparing to take Liu Xie's calligraphy away and hang it in the office for show:
"Now is the experimental stage, the output is not high, but after the process is understood, it is easy to increase the output... Your Majesty, should we sell this paper? It will increase some income for the industrial zone."
Now, although the industrial zone has been working overtime, the orders it receives are all from the imperial court. The industrial zone has little liquidity and cannot afford to hold events occasionally.
So Yang Xiu wanted to use rice paper to make some extra money for the industrial zone, increase income, and the court could also increase taxes.
Liu Xie thought for a while and said:
"It's half the price of paper on the market today. Will you lose money?"
If it loses money, it will be used exclusively by the court. After the cost is reduced, it will be sold to the public... Although the Han Dynasty is prosperous, there are many places to spend money, so save when you can.
Yang Xiu shook his standard tinfoil iron and said:
"There is almost a profit of more than ten percent, which is far from losing money. When large-scale production is carried out in the future, the cost will be further reduced... I remember that there is an idiom in later history that Luoyang paper is expensive. It would be better for us to lower the price first."< br>
Liu Xie reminded:
"When rice paper comes out, it will definitely cause a rush among the big families. They will stock up a batch first, and then sell it when the quantity is sufficient. I don't care about the cost. 30% of the profits earned will go to the industrial zone for its own expenses, and the remaining 70% will go to Chang'an University and the Royal Family." The institute is used for scientific research, the purchase of teaching aids, and scholarships for outstanding students. I will ask someone to come up with a detailed charter in the future.”
It is natural for cultural income to be used for education and scientific research. However, after hearing the 30-7 split, Yang Xiu unconsciously came up with two lines in his mind:
"Why is it only 70%?"
"The 70% belongs to others. If you can get 30%, it depends on Huang Silang's face."
It was supposed to generate revenue for the industrial zone, but His Majesty confiscated 70% of the profits.
If production capacity is expanded in the future, the supply of rice paper will be astronomical. By then, the profits of rice paper will also be astronomical... Chang'an University and the Royal Academy will become richer and richer.
However, thinking that universities and research institutes could help modernize industrial zones, Yang Xiu held back.
Without the research institute, no one knows how to maintain a lot of equipment in the industrial zone or how it works. And without industry-related college students, the factory would have no senior technical personnel.
Of course, these are all complementary to each other. Take the industrial zone as an example. Without the equipment here, many projects of the institute can only stay at the PPT stage. Students from the College of Engineering of Chang'an University don't even have a place to practice.
Now that the industrial zones are making money, it is natural for them to feed back research institutes and universities.
I wonder if the aristocratic family can still recruit talents after Chang'an University launches the scholarship system... Yang Xiu felt as happy as drinking Sprite when he thought of the aristocratic family's failure.
Liu Xie reminded:
"Don't just think about making money. The industrial zone must speed up the production of soldiers and armor. In addition, it must also speed up the production of various agricultural tools, and vigorously promote agricultural tools such as shovels, sickles, iron rakes, and iron plows."
Farmers in the late Han Dynasty used wooden plows and shovels, which were not only inefficient but also difficult to use.
The ink on the rice paper was dried, and Yang Xiu was ready to put it away and take it away:
"We have been producing, and the Quyuan plow has also been produced. We are also planning to share the process with Mianchi Iron Mine, Wancheng Iron Mine, Jinyang Iron Mine and Yecheng Iron Mine, so that these iron mines can specialize in the production of agricultural tools. The focus of the industrial zone is still military equipment, and the functions of civilian equipment are separated. ”
Just as he was about to roll up the rice paper, Liu Xie said:
"Wait a minute, I will write the signature for you, so that no one will believe that this is my handwriting."
After speaking, he picked up the brush, left his signature on the rice paper, and stamped it with his hand seal.
He originally planned to use the imperial seal, but considering that this was a private gift, using the imperial seal might bring unnecessary trouble to Yang Xiu, so he decided not to use it.
After writing the signature, Liu Xie moved two boxes of hot and sour noodles, a large can of mutton oil chili, a jar of red fermented bean curd for porridge, as well as candies, pastries, chocolates and other items for Yang Xiu.
"Sir has been worried that you won't be able to eat well in the industrial area, so he asked me to bring it to you. Now that you are here, just take it away in a cart. I won't let anyone else pass it on, so as not to cause damage."
< br>
Yang Xiu didn't expect that his husband would miss him so much, and memories of the real world suddenly came to his mind:
"Thank you so much, sir. I must work hard and not bring disgrace on your face."
He was just about to ask Liu Xie to record a message of thanks and bring it to Li Yu when Guo Jia swaggered into the hall with a cigarette in his mouth. Seeing that there were candies to eat, the guy quickly stamped out the cigarette, then opened the jar and took out two pieces. Hazelnut candy:
"Whose is this?"
Yang Xiu said:
"Mr. Fengxiao gave it to me. If you want, Mr. Fengxiao, you can eat it. If it's not enough, take more."
Guo Jia was not polite, grabbed a large handful and stuffed it into his arms, and then said to Yang Xiu:
"Your father has been bragging and chatting with Zhao Wen and the others recently when he has nothing to do, so that he can stay away from those old ministers. If he wants to chat, come to the Secrecy Bureau to find me. I can play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and composition. I can also play military chess, checkers, and backgammon."
Yang Xiu: "..."
In the whole of Chang'an, who dares to visit your secrecy bureau? Is it too long to live?
However, if Guo Jia could reveal this kind of news to himself, the reward for a handful of candies would definitely not be enough. Yang Xiu gave Guo Jia another box of hot and sour noodles and asked:
"Why is Mr. Fengxiao suddenly concerned about my father's movements?"
As one of the top brains in the late Han Dynasty, Yang Xiu's brain was quick. He knew that the Secrecy Bureau's actions were all done with hindsight. Since they wanted to investigate, they must have discovered some secret.
There were no outsiders in the palace at this moment, and Guo Jia didn’t hide anything:
"Those old ministers heard that the Zhen family's youngest daughter was rated as extremely valuable by Jizhou celebrities, so they became interested. Recently, they have been trying to win over her and broker a marriage contract. They invited your father to come over to be a witness."
Yang Xiu frowned:
"Is this how my dad left?"
As a lieutenant, this is too politically insensitive, right?
Celebrities all commented that the Zhen family was destined to be queen, and they still pressed forward. Was it because they thought the lives of the nine clans were too long?
People in the Han Dynasty believed in destiny. For example, the Zhen family in Jizhou and the Wu family in Shu County were all evaluated as having the destiny to be queen, so Yuan Shao and Liu Yan couldn't wait to get their sons to marry.
In their opinion, if their son marries a person with the destiny of a queen, he may become an emperor in the future.
Of course, not only in the late Han Dynasty, Yang Guang's wife, Empress Xiao, also became the plaything of major forces because of the evaluation of the queen's fate. Everyone wanted to have her to legitimately obtain the throne. Empress Xiao has since unlocked a Title - Six Emperors Play.
Guo Jia chewed the hazelnut candy in his mouth and said:
"Your dad was deceived, but he has gotten a little close to that place recently. You should go back and tell him, otherwise it will not look good if he invites Lao Yang to the Secrecy Bureau one day."
Yang Xiu will reveal it in just one point:
"I will go home to visit my mother later... Mr. Fengxiao, if those people really propose to Mrs. Zhen, will you blame me?"
Before Guo Jia spoke, Liu Xie said:
"My husband doesn't know about Zhen's existence at all, and no one has told him about it. For us, it doesn't matter whether Zhen is the fifth master's wife. It doesn't matter whether your husband will accept Zhen. What's important is that , to give Zhen the right to choose her husband. Anyone who comes close to her before she reaches adulthood will be killed without mercy... As for the reason, you can make your own arrangements."
Guo Jia accepted the order:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhen's growing up environment will not be disturbed by anyone... Sir, you don't know about her yet?"
"Grandma Nuwa arranged for the third and fourth master mothers before. When she found out that fate had a backlash, it was the Holy Lord and the Master of Heaven who worked together to resolve the issue, so we will not arrange it this time and let nature take its course."
It was said that it was just letting nature take its course, but the Zhen family's evaluation of the queen's life was too high, and it would unknowingly attract people with ulterior motives. What the court had to do was to get rid of these people with ulterior motives.
For this reason, Liu Xie also specifically ordered that celebrities from all over the world are prohibited from commenting on anyone, especially women. Once discovered, the Yi tribe will be banned.
A word you say is priceless, but for a girl, it may mean a lifetime of wandering.
Yang Xiu said:
"When rice paper is introduced, the authority of the family will be greatly reduced... Your Majesty, can we use rice paper to publish newspapers?"
"This will definitely not work. The gentleman said that he will find a way to introduce papermaking equipment. By then combined with printing equipment, we can publish newspapers and seize the high ground of public opinion."
Yang Xiu guessed that Guo Jia still had something to report to Liu Xie, so he left the palace with his things and drove home, intending to beat Lao Yang to prevent him from going astray and ruining his bright future.
After Yang Xiu left, Guo Jia took out a piece of paper from his arms and placed it in front of Liu Xie: "These are the people in Chang'an who secretly mourned Yuan Shao recently. Half of them sent their servants to Nanpi County to visit Yuan Shao's grave. Some of them have paid tribute to Yuan Shao." One-third sent people to contact Yuan Shu, how is your Majesty going to deal with it?"
Liu Xie picked up the list and read it:
"Don't worry about those who go to the grave for now. Contact Yuan Shu to pay attention, and prevent these families from connecting with each other... These aristocratic families are really like cockroaches, killing one group and then the next. If the system of promoting filial piety and integrity is not abolished, public opinion will The right to speak will always be in their hands.”
After saying that, he knocked on the table again:
"Let Zhong Yao choose a Yingchuan family to beat, and he will use the specific intensity to make these families sober up."
Guo Jia took the initiative to ask:
"Let's start with the Guo family. It just so happens that Guo Tu gave Yuan Shao a lot of bad ideas. The reasons are very legitimate."
"Okay, you and Zhong Yao can figure it out."
After leaving the palace, Guo Jia lit a Liqun and said to Ma Dai:
"Let the people in the bureau be ready to pick up the customers. Let's do the work. By the way, let the branches in various places investigate the matter of Celebrity Dianping. If they don't shut up, we will help them shut up!"
Ma Dai has been working in the Secrecy Bureau for a long time and has become more thoughtful:
"Do you need to ruin the reputation of those celebrities?"
"No need for now, but if they don't cooperate with the court in the future, don't blame us for launching a public opinion war... Go back first, and start arresting people after dark."
In the real world, at twelve o'clock in the evening, the cold storage is still unloading trucks in full swing.
In order to make the workers more motivated, Li Yu drove to the city and packed a lot of high-calorie meals from a 24-hour restaurant for everyone to have a full meal.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Feng had already figured out the process, and he said to Li Yu:
"His Royal Highness, please go back and rest. I will guard this place. I will report the final data to you when everything is put into storage."
Li Yu thought this was okay, so he asked Zhao Feng to pay attention to safety and drove back to the B&B.
He originally wanted to go to Guanlan Villa, but he felt that Baby Tong was already asleep at this point, so it would be inappropriate to disturb her, so he might as well go back to the B&B to sleep.
When he arrived at the B&B, he walked around the yard with a flashlight to make sure there was nothing wrong before going upstairs.
As soon as I walked out of the stairwell, I heard a successful download sound coming from the study.
Is there anyone downloading anything at this point?
Li Yu walked into the study and saw Yun Xiao sitting at the computer desk, downloading the installation package for a stand-alone game.
He walked over, poured a cup of cold tea from the teapot and drank it in one gulp:
"Why haven't you rested yet?"
Yunxiao stood up and said:
"Elder brother wants to change a batch of new games... Is the tea cold? I'll make you a new pot of tea, so you don't get upset."
"No, I'm going to rest. If you drink too much tea, you won't be able to sleep."
He hugged Yun Baobao, kissed him, and asked curiously:
"Aren't there a lot of games? Are you tired of playing them?"
"Elder brother has been playing games with his divine power. He is at the peak of Daluo Jinxian, and the frame rate of his eyes can reach hundreds of thousands. When playing games with his divine power, everything is in slow motion."
Good guy, just cheat, what’s the point of playing?
Li Yugang was about to complain, and suddenly thought of a game, which might be a good challenge for Xuandu:
"There is a game called "Bloody Battle on the Beach". The last level is said to be difficult for 99% of the masters to pass. Please let my brother play it and give it a try."
"Okay, I'll download it now."
Li Yu worked for half the night and froze solidly in the cold storage for a few hours. Now he felt sleepy. He kissed Yunxiao goodbye and went back to his room to rest.
Tomorrow I have to go to Handan to see the paper mill. I have to drive for an hour. I don't want to get enough rest.
After he left, Yunxiao smoothed the folds of his clothes and muttered in a dumbfounded voice:
"My husband is really bad, and his hands are not honest at all."
After downloading the game installation package, she closed the computer, went back to her room, changed her clothes, took the mobile hard drive and left the real world, returning to Chaoge City.
As soon as she appeared, the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit flew over:
"Sister, have you met His Royal Highness the Holy Son again?"
Yunxiao nodded:
"How do you know?"
"I see that you have a beautiful face. You must have come here after having an intimate relationship with His Highness the Holy Son. Am I right?"
Yunxiao shook his head:
"He was unloading goods in the cold storage. He just came back. He kissed me and went back to sleep. Tomorrow he has to go to the next city to demolish a paper mill, so he needs to rest early."
The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit was startled for a moment:
"His Royal Highness the Holy Son actually wants to do the work himself?"
In her understanding, His Royal Highness the Son of God should be aloof and unsmiling, and just give orders on what needs to be done, or he should not even give orders at all, and his subordinates will know what to do with just one look.
Unexpectedly, the actual His Highness the Holy Son was unloading goods and working as a dismantling worker, which completely shattered her illusion of the noble Holy Son.
Yunxiao said:
"He is just a mortal, and he does whatever ordinary people do. Even if he becomes the son of Saint Wa Huang, he still has the mentality of an ordinary person. The only change is that he no longer worries about money and does not need to cook noodles to satisfy his hunger. ”
Our Lady of Guiling has a new understanding of Li Yu:
"It seems that my book needs to be revised again. Senior sister, please continue working. I will go back to code!"
After saying that, Holy Mother Turtle Spirit quickly flew back home, preparing to revise her masterpiece.
Yunxiao came to the Internet cafe, plugged the mobile hard drive into the server, and started copying the game installation package. Only then did she realize that the No. 1 camera that originally belonged to the Archmage Xuandu had been replaced by her elder brother Zhao Gongming at some point. While eating melon seeds, I watched the large-scale historical series "Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty".
Yunxiao asked:
"Brother, where is the senior brother?"
"I went to the temple of the empress. By the way, the empress asked you to go there too. There should be something wrong."
When Yunxiao heard this, he flashed his body and appeared outside the gate of Nuwa Temple in the city.
She stepped in and found that Master Xuandu and Zishou were there. Everyone was sitting cross-legged on the futon without saying anything.
Yunxiao found a futon and just sat down cross-legged when her empress's voice sounded in her mind:
"Hold your breath and relax your mind. I will implant a memory into you. It will automatically open when you encounter a specific scene. There are some ways to deal with things in it."
Yunxiao was a little surprised:
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry about making some small plans for the future. Once you leave the temple, you will forget about this conversation and will not remember it until something happens."
Yunxiao looked at Master Xuandu and Zishou:
"Is the same true for Senior Brother and His Majesty Zishou?"
"Yes, they also have some arrangements... Free your mind, I will put the memory in the depths of your sea of consciousness, so as not to be noticed by heaven."
"Okay!"
Yun Xiao obediently closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and let the empress's divine power enter the depths of his sea of consciousness.
In the Wa Palace, the empress casually glanced at Yun Xiao's memory and immediately became happy:
"Hey, we kissed you goodbye just now. My stinky son is really a heart-stealing little thief. He even stole the heart of a quasi-sage..."
