Chapter 263 Listening to the competition, exhausting banknotes and paper

Chapter 263: Listening to the favor, and raising money paper in vain

After seeing off Sun Chengzong, Yang Jieying was alone and wandering around the Forbidden City. He was always in a haze in his heart and was thinking hard about where to get money. Although there were many ways, there was really no good way to say that money came quickly and money came too much. Many gold fingers were only suitable for doing solo, and earning a few hundred taels or tens of thousands taels. However, if you say that it was used to subsidize the holes at the national level, it was not enough to see. For example, you must never use ice cream, and you can do it yourself. For example, you can only play and make some money and have fun.

Wandering, wandering, passing through countless palaces, Yang Jie walked in front of him alone, with the eunuchs following a farther position, the emperor was in a bad mood, so he told the eunuchs not to follow too close, except for Wang Chengen around him.

When Yang Jing passed by a certain palace, he suddenly heard someone talking in the palace. So he was curious and approached a little closer, and was about to listen carefully. There were a few palace maids at the door who wanted to scold this bold eavesdropping thief, but when he saw that the eavesdropping was the emperor, he was so scared that he immediately covered his mouth and did not dare to speak. If he treated the emperor as an eavesdropping thief, the joke would be huge.

Yang Jie, who was suppressed and had nowhere to release, finally found something fun, that is, eavesdropping on others. Several palace maids stood at the door, wanting to say but not daring to say it, so they could only lower their heads and pretend not to see it.

The conversation inside was just about to listen to the contents of the conversation through the doors and windows.

"...Father, although my daughter is now a concubine of Li, the situation in the palace is different from before. It is not like the one who can win the favor of His Majesty by relying on her face and beauty... Now the one who is favored by His Majesty is someone who can solve his problems. The queen will not say that his father was urged to Leizhou by her. Just say that the woman Liulizhai is because she can make money for His Majesty. You see, she is so favored by His Majesty?... Not only are there palace maids and eunuchs sent by the palace to serve her, but His Majesty even sent a thousand households of Jinyiwei to protect her safety, and also gave things to the palace through Liulizhai... You said, if she hadn't been able to make money for His Majesty, could His Majesty spoil her like this?..." The jealousy of the speaker was not ordinary. Yang Jingyou could smell the sour smell.

Yang Jie listened to the wooden windows roughly and found it interesting. The person who spoke was Concubine Li, who was a beauty. These days, Yang Jie has lived here, and is inseparable from this person. Today, he walked around and arrived at Chengqian Palace, which was Concubine Li’s residence.

"...Daughter! No, Empress! What do you mean? Let your father learn from Zhou Kui? Go to Leizhou?...Daughter! That's Leizhou... Do you have the heart to watch your father run to the ends of the world?..." This man begs pitifully.

The man said this, and Yang Jing also heard it. He was Li Fei's father and his other father-in-law. Unexpectedly, the content of their chat was about comparing how to solve his problems for him. Yang Jing felt that it was a bit incredible. When did these relatives become enlightened like this? Yang Jing became even more interested.

"...Dad, my daughter didn't say that she wanted you to go to Leizhou, but you also thought of a way. You can't worry about your Majesty if you always do this. Just relying on your daughter's face to attract Your Majesty, what should I do if I have a more beautiful one that day?..." Concubine Li's voice was very nice, and the words she said were delicate.

"...Daughter, then what do you say, what do you call your father? Your father is just a businessman, can he do business? We are a relative of the country, how can we do such a business that is a inferior person?..."

Before Concubine Li's father finished speaking, Concubine Li interrupted.

"What's wrong? Didn't my family always do this in Shaanxi before? When my family was in Yangzhou, it wasn't like this? Why did you dare not mention the past when you entered the palace and become an empress? Dad, now, this is not a ugly thing. Now, it's our strength. Look, the Zhou family's father is so virtuous that he can do nothing but buy some land for His Majesty? What else can he do? Unlike Dad, he can also do business. Look at that woman in Liulizhai, isn't she favored by His Majesty because she does a good business? She can do such a big business, and you have no reason to not be able to do it? Only when the business is done well can your daughter be favored by His Majesty, and you can make money for His Majesty, and your Majesty will look up to you... Your daughter is in the palace and I can raise your head..."

"...Daughter..., Empress, then, what do you want to tell your father to do?" Concubine Li's father begged for mercy and was also envious of Liulizhai's business like digging gold mountains.

"...This, these days, Your Majesty has come to your daughter's palace. My daughter will find an opportunity to ask Your Majesty for a favor and ask Your Majesty to find you an errand. You can also do a big business like Liulizhai, and my family can also become Your Majesty's money bag..."

"What my daughter says is right, what my daughter says is right..." Concubine Li's father quickly agreed. If his daughter had the ability and wanted to get a business like Liulizhai for him, he would not be able to ask for it.

Yang Jie almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He had heard of those who were competing for favor in the harem, but never seen those who were competing for favor and rushing to earn money for himself. What kind of world is this!

Yang Jie held back his laughter and turned around and left, afraid of staying here, so he laughed out loud.

When several palace maids saw that the emperor finally left, they hurried in and reported to Empress Li...

May 21.

Yang Jing got up in a spirit of spirit. In theory, he did whatever he wanted. Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen was not that easy to be like this. If he didn't want to hang himself in Coal Mountain in the future, he should be more diligent. Yesterday, Yang Jing had a very depressed thing. There was no money. Today, Yang Jing had a countermeasure, that was to quickly get out the banknotes and issue them quickly to relieve his financial pressure. Now, everything is ready, and only the east wind is needed, that is, the silver. If you sprinkle a large amount of silver, you won't believe it. He has not changed this history.

Yang Jie got up early in the morning and handled political affairs in the Qianqing Palace. Some memorials, which are not very important and do not need to be discussed during court discussions, are handled directly in the Qianqing Palace.

"Good companion, go and call Liu Awu here." Before Yang Jing handled political affairs, he ordered Wang Chengen to find the guy who made the banknotes. Now, he hopes that the banknotes can fill a financial hole in himself, so this must be given priority.

"I obey the order, I will send someone here." Wang Chengen agreed.

"In addition, let Zhang De'an from Nei Shutang hold the exam. In addition to the new courses, such as arithmetic and geography, he also needs to take some content from the Maritime and Construction Department. Let him do it and pay attention to prevent cheating. I don't want to see cheating in." Yang Jing had already given the matter of Hailu and Construction Department yesterday. The name of the customs in ancient times was Maritime and Construction Department. Yang Jing was ready to starve the wild boar skin to death, so he naturally had to put the customs matter on the agenda and speed up the processing.

"I obey the order, let's go now." Wang Chengen agreed again.

Yang Jingwei is now quite good at handling political affairs. He can give some comments on some memorials. At this time, Yang Jingwei will directly say what to do. Then someone will approve the words according to the emperor's wishes and then hand them over to the emperor for a review. After Yang Jingwei has seen it correctly, it is considered that the processing is completed.

After a while, the memorial will be processed.

Yang Jie stretched a little, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Big partner, have you arrived?"

Wang Chengen quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the person has arrived."

"Let him come in." Yang Jie said that Liu Awu is now a regular visitor to the Qing Palace and is more diligent than many ministers. I have to say that fate is very strange.

"Long live the life of the grass man Liu Awu," Liu Awu kowtowed skillfully.

"Okay, all those are exempted. I asked you to come today, just to ask you, how busy are you with that banknote?" Yang Jing forced the matter to force him. Last time Liu Awu came here, it was a few days before.

"Report to Your Majesty, Caomin is trying hard. At present, it has made some progress." Liu Awu got guidance from the emperor last time. The emperor asked him to use cotton to make money. He went back and bought a lot of cotton to try it. Unexpectedly, the paper made of cotton is different. Not to mention anything else, it is true that it is very durable. However, there are many other problems. Liu Awu has not made the paper the emperor needs yet.

"What's the result?" Yang Jingwei asked impatiently.

"When you go back to your Majesty, Cao Min tried some cotton paper. It is wear-resistant and fold-resistant. However, there are other problems, such as water absorption is more powerful. Once you encounter water, the paper will become distorted... Cao Min waited for some samples, and asked Your Majesty to take a look." Liu Awu said carefully.

"Oh, let me see." Yang Jing couldn't wait to see what the cotton-made paper looks like.

Wang Chenen took some paper from the hands of the young eunuch and sent it to the emperor.

Yang Jie looked at it and found that the paper was somewhat similar to the printing papers of later generations. They were very white and had a certain thickness. They were very different from the rice paper used on a large scale today. When you touched it with your hands, it was not rough, and then folded it to smooth it out. The paper was still relatively foldable and the traces were not very obvious. When you lifted the hard pen and wrote a few words on it. It looked at the feel of the hand. It seemed that there was no difference between it and the printing paper in the future. It was better to absorb ink and the handwriting was very clear, unlike rice paper. When writing, you always felt afraid of exposing the paper. Yang Jie tore off a note and threw it into the teacup. Soon, the water in the teacup was sucked away by the note, and the note immediately "expanded".

Yang Jing also realized that Liu Awu's paper was OK without encountering water. It was somewhat similar to the printing paper in the future, and it was more suitable for writing hard pens. Yang Jing, who was devoted to money, was a little frustrated. Although he had opened his golden finger, it was a pity that the time was too short. Liu Awu did not grasp the key points, and he really couldn't tell him the specific formula of the money paper.

Yang Jing was worried, and suddenly a sudden enlightenment appeared. In fact, Liu Awu's current paper is very similar to the office paper in the future. He can position this paper as office paper and take the lead in promoting this paper in the palace to work. Then he can build the paper industry and open several paper mills. Perhaps, he can make a lot of money from it...

Thinking of the wonderful things, Yang Jingwei, who had been troubled by money, became happy.

"Haha, Liu Awu, you did a good job in this paper. I like it, this paper is useful!" Yang Jing discovered a way of wealth and immediately praised Liu Awu happily.

Liu Awu was very depressed. What is the emperor doing? Is this kind of paper that is afraid of water? Didn’t the emperor say that paper should not be afraid of water? But now, is this? Liu Awu is very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that this paper is very watery. Once I encounter water, the paper will be full and useless." Liu Awu said tremblingly.

Afraid of water, so I sucked full when I encountered it? When Yang Jie heard about this, he was inspired again, as if he had captured something. By the way, since this paper is so absorbing, why don’t he use it as a daily paper? For example...haha, for example, paper for wiping the butt... Yang Jie suddenly discovered that the papermaking industry actually has great potential!

When Yang Jing thought of the amazing profits in the paper industry, he stood up and stood up. This is a very powerful industry! Yang Jing saw hope and money. Isn’t this what he needs? Now, it’s right in front of him!

The emperor suddenly stood up and almost scared Liu Awu to death. Liu Awu thought the emperor was going to kill his head, and blamed him for not making good things, so he knelt on his knees and kowtows with trembling trembling.

"Hahaha...haha..." Yang Kai laughed when he thought of the happiness. Liu Awu was even more scared.

"Liu Awu, stop kneeling, get up. You did a good job today, and you will be rewarded for it." Yang Jing saw the money, so he naturally had to give his subordinates some benefits.

Liu Awu looked at the emperor for no reason.

"The people of the grass thank His Majesty for his kindness."

Yang Jing walked quickly in front of his desk, looking excited, thinking about paper, how to make money paper, then office paper, and finally, daily paper...

"Liu Awu, I will teach you another method. After you go back, you can make paper according to this method and you will definitely make the kind of paper I want." Yang Jingwei had already made an idea.

"Caomin asks His Majesty to give instructions, and Caomin must do what His Majesty asks." Liu Awu hoped that the emperor would come up with his own advice, so that he would be relieved sooner. The pressure on these things he did for the emperor was too great. Until now, he still achieved nothing.

"In this way, after you go back, you can use the exhaustive method to make paper." Yang Jiewei has liked the exhaustive method since he was working on the thermometer. This royal method can be made directly, and there is no need to do it yourself.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the exhaustive method?" Liu Awu asked in confusion.

"The so-called exhaustive study means to give out all possible examples, and to record the results of each experiment separately. For example, if you make this kind of banknote, you are made of cotton, then you can make paper with different amounts of cotton, for example, cotton accounts for half, then 10%, and then 10%, until ten%. In this way, how many parts of cotton have different effects, isn't it clear at a glance? Paper may not be made of cotton, so you can use various materials and cotton to match it to see what materials and cotton have different effects, starting from half, 10%, 10%, and 10%, and so exhausted. When you finish everything that can be made in the world, or maybe the things that can be made in paper, I won't

I believe that I can't make the paper I want..." Yang Jingwei has been an emperor for a long time, and he has a very obvious royal style when speaking and doing things. That is, he is doing things in a big way, and taking all the possibilities into consideration. This will definitely make the paper needed for banknotes, because Yang Jing searched for the paper for the RMB in the future, and it is said that he used 95% of cotton wool, half into other things. If this is true, Yang Jingwei believes that he can quickly have high-quality banknote paper, not to mention the same quality as the paper for the future RMB, there is a very good paper, so that there is no need to use low-quality paper to make banknotes. It was not easy to issue paper. If the quality of the banknote itself is not good, then the banknotes are afraid that it will be even more difficult to promote. He can only use bad paper if it is absolutely necessary.

Liu Awu was shocked by what he said to the emperor. The emperor asked him to exhaust all kinds of paper-making things and record the differences in different weights. This kind of thing was really incredible. The royal spirit was so strong that he couldn't breathe.

"... Also, not only does paper make one, but also soft and absorbable paper, but also paper that is convenient for writing hard pens. In addition, the raw materials are cheap and can save the cost of papermaking. This is all your exhaustive content. You record every possibility. Haha, I believe it will be very interesting..." Yang Jingyi now works, and he is the best way to do things. This is the benefit of being an emperor and a strong point. He doesn't need to do anything, nor does he need to have strong theories, nor does he have to keep plagiarizing future methods, nor does he even need specific formulas, even design drawings, industrial processes, etc. As long as there is a general direction and then exhaustive, you can always find what you want. If you are a grassroots who come here and start from the grassroots level, it is obvious that you cannot be as rich as yourself and use the energy of the whole country to do things like yourself, but if you are an emperor, you have to do things like an emperor.

Not only Liu Awu, but also Wang Chengen was shocked. What a large-scale project this is! I’m afraid it’s not as easy as building a palace.

"The people who are so scared,..." Liu Awu came to his senses for a long time before he came to his senses. He quickly agreed to the emperor's words, no matter what, he agreed to it first. As for whether he succeeded, the emperor didn't say that, and to record every possibility, Liu Awu really didn't believe it. He took all the possibilities of the world and there was no paper that the emperor wanted. If that was the case, it means that there was no such paper in the world, and the emperor could also rest. No wonder others or him. No wonder there was no such paper in the world.

"...Your Majesty, it's okay to do this, but is this cost... and there is also this manpower, I'm afraid it's not something that Caomin can do alone!" Liu Awu knew that this kind of thing could not be done by himself, nor could it be done with a little money, so he asked the emperor for money.

"This is simple. I will give you as much money as you want. If you want someone, I will find it yourself. If I provide the money, I will not believe it. If I can do anything under the utmost method, I will not do anything. Of course, you have to make the paper of this banknote and keep it confidential. It doesn't matter if you wave your hand and decide to utmost it. Yang Jingwei himself couldn't tell others directly, how much it would be? He could only guide others to give answers directly. This is really too cheating.

"The people obey the order." Liu Awu no longer pretentiously with the emperor. He knew that he had done such a long time to do nothing but a quick job. Now, he could only make up his mind to achieve results and create a few things that the emperor likes. Otherwise, he would be in danger. The emperor might change people. What is humble or not, fear or fear, and it is no longer important to him now.

"Okay, go and do it now. Remember to make money out of paper first, and then do other things. Go quickly..." Yang Jing wanted to have paper out of paper immediately, and wanted to open a daily paper mill immediately, and wanted to make money immediately, constantly urging him.

Wang Chengen whispered, "Your Majesty, didn't you just say you wanted to reward him?" Wang Chengen immediately reminded him when he saw that the emperor forgot what he said about the reward.

"... Oh, Liu Awu, I will receive 200 taels of silver. I will be considered as rewarding you..." Yang Jing received Wang Chengen's reminder, and remembered what he said, and immediately rewarded Liu Awu with 200 taels of silver. As for the others, it was not Yang Jing's stingy. Some things can be casual, and some things cannot be casual, such as official positions, and now Liu Awu has no successful things to take, so this reward is naturally impossible to give it to casually.

"The people of Cao Cao thank His Majesty for the reward, the people of Cao Cao go now." Liu Awu agreed loudly.
