Straight man of steel

Chapter 240 Expansion of the Mansion
After Zhang Yuan knelt on the ground and shouted long live, Tian Fu came late.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister is waiting outside the palace."

Liu Che frowned, and a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face, but he still waved his hand to let Tian Fu in.

After Tian Fu came in, he saw Zhang Yuan kneeling on the ground, Princess Pingyang sitting on one side, and Wei Qing standing next to Zhang Yuan.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Tian Fu nodded slightly to Liu Che, then Princess Pingyang stood up, Zhang Yuan also stood up, and they all bowed to Tian Fu again.

Tian Fu only saluted Princess Pingyang, but ignored Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan.

"The Prime Minister came to Yutang Hall at this time. It seems that there are important state affairs."

"Forehead"

Tian Fu was at a loss for words. In his hurry, he even forgot to find a good excuse for Ji Fu.

"I just miss His Majesty for a moment. I heard that His Majesty has had a bad appetite recently and came here to see you."

Liu Che didn't get angry when he saw that Tian Fu was messing around here, he just said calmly.

"I don't know where the prime minister heard the rumors, but my age is just when I have a good appetite.

After the Prime Minister returns, I will pluck out the tongues of those who are talking nonsense. Talking behind the emperor's back should be a capital crime, but I am in a good mood today and do not want to kill. "

"Here."

In a few words, Tian Fu planned to pull out someone's tongue when he went back later, not knowing who would be the scapegoat in the end.

Zhang Yuan's body trembled and he no longer thought about these cruel things.

"In this case, I am tired today, so please retreat first.

Doctor Qing, please don’t forget my instructions. In addition, we must vigorously produce paper. I will first get [-] pieces of such paper for use. "

Liu Che said, raising the paper on the desk and speaking to Zhang Yuan.

The Zhang family currently has quite a lot of livestock. Only a few young people can manage the farmland, and the rest can spare time to make paper. However, the Zhang family's dozens of acres of land cannot accommodate such a large farm. workshop.

When Zhang Mansion was built before, Zhang Yuan was still the fifth doctor, and the house was built in strict accordance with the standards.

Thirty steps by a big man is a house, and the five doctors can only have 25 houses to build a house, which is almost 30 mu of land, which is not enough now.

"Your Majesty, I have one more request."

Liu Che is now in a happy mood. Although Tian Fu came in and affected a little, he still said to Zhang Yuan in a pleasant manner.

"Go ahead."

"I request that the mansion be expanded to meet the needs of the workshop."

If Zhang Yuan were to expand elsewhere, he would just expand it according to his current title, but his home is in the emperor's back garden. If he expands it without saying hello, the emperor will get angry and it doesn't matter what your title is. What.

Most of those who could exchange their lives for titles and money were those the emperor did not want to kill, or the emperor did not know who the criminals were at all.

"This matter is feasible, as long as you have less title, one more house will not work, and one house less will not work."

The emperor nodded. His home would be expanded more than three times. It was really a great thing.

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

Tian Fu didn't listen to a word of the conversation between Zhang Yuan and Liu Che. All he could see was the piece of paper in Liu Che's hand.

"Your Majesty, what is this paper?"

Tian Fu suddenly asked Liu Che.

"Oh, these are the writing materials obtained by Doctor Qing Zhang Yuanxin.

By the way, Zhang Yuan, after mass production, he will also send [-] copies to the Prime Minister's Mansion. "

"Here."

Zhang Yuan bowed his head and promised, even Liu Che would give it to whomever he asked, and Zhang Yuan didn't dare to resist.

Only then did Tian Fu turn his attention to Zhang Yuan, pointing at Zhang Yuan and asking Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, how come I didn't know when Lieutenant Cheng was promoted to Qing Dafu?"

Tian Fu thought Zhang Yuan had been named one of the twelve ministers of the Han Dynasty, so he asked Liu Che.

Because the appointments to these positions all require the Prime Minister's seal, this shows how powerful Tian Fu's power is.

It can be said that as long as Tian Fu has legitimate reasons, he can fill all his cronies into these important positions in the court.

When Liu Che heard Tian Fu's questioning, his face darkened.

"I just appointed Zhang Yuan as a doctor of engineering and a senior official.

You don't have to bother the prime minister to ask about the affairs of the inner court. "

After Tian Fu heard this explanation, he stopped talking. It was true that Liu Che could not interfere in the internal court. Even if Liu Che added officials and officials to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan still had no real power in his hands.

Seeing Liu Che hovering back and forth on the verge of rage, Zhang Yuan quickly bent over Liu Che and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, since the matter is settled, the minister will retire."

"Your Majesty also resigned."

"Your Majesty, Pingyang has also gone back first."

As soon as Zhang Yuan said he wanted to leave, Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang immediately declared that they wanted to leave the center of the storm.

Liu Che nodded, watched a few people leave, then stared at Tian Fu and said.

"Why, Prime Minister, do you have something else to explain to me?"

Tian Fu didn't care about the anger inside and outside Liu Che's words, and said to Liu Che as usual.

"Your Majesty, don't trust those villains too much."

"Who is the villain that the prime minister refers to?"

"Your Majesty understands what the old minister said."

"Ha ha."

An exchange between the monarch and his ministers broke up in such an unhappy way.

When Zhang Yuan followed Princess Pingyang's carriage to the gate of Jianzhang Palace, he was about to leave.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang opened the curtains and called Zhang Yuan.

"Sir sir."

Zhang Yuan rode on the horse, no matter how much he lowered his head, he could still have a panoramic view of Princess Pingyang's appearance.

"The minister is here."

After taking a glance, Zhang Yuan almost buried his head in his chest.

Elegant and luxurious, these four words are what Zhang Yuan thinks of at the moment.

"The first batch of [-] pieces of paper must not be scattered around. Your Majesty has [-] pieces, I have [-] pieces, the Prime Minister has [-] pieces, and the Servant has [-] pieces.

You can use the rest yourself, you can give it away, but you must not sell it to others.

After the first batch is completed, I will send a few merchants to your house to take orders. The paper will be sold at a fixed price by Pingyang Houfu.

From the money obtained, the Zhang Mansion will benefit [-]%, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion will benefit [-]%, and the inner treasury will benefit [-]%.

Don't think that you earn less. Only His Majesty and I are the big ones, so we don't dare to touch you. Do you understand? "

Zhang Yuan nodded and said.

"I understand."

"In two months, the days will get hotter and hotter. His Majesty may go to Dinghu Longevity Palace, and maybe he will come to your home.

The paper workshop and the new thing you mentioned today, the place must be clean and decent. "

"I understand clearly."

Perhaps because she felt there was nothing left to explain, Princess Pingyang lowered the curtain, while Zhang Yuan followed nervously.

Looking at Wei Qing next to him, I felt depressed for him. How could life be easy if he married such a wife at home in the future?
"His Royal Highness, it's getting late, and I'm leaving."

"Ah."

After receiving the permission, Zhang Yuan quickly turned his horse and ran towards Lantian. Looking at this hour, he probably would not be able to return home until nightfall.
