After the palace maid's counterattack, the tyrant was fascinated

Xuanyuan Yin was at a loss what to do, and Chu Yanzhou looked ugly. If he wanted to buy rice paper, it would probably be a huge expense. And it was a cold winter this year. In order to let the people survive the cold winter safely, Xuanyuan Yin ordered that half of the taxes be exempted. So there is not much gold and silver left in the treasury now.

When Yun Sangluo heard Xuanyuan Yin and Chu Yanzhou discussing rice paper, he was heartbroken. No wonder when he came in, he saw the two frowning. It turned out that they were worried about rice paper!

Before, Yun Sangluo didn't know about the Canglan Kingdom and needed to buy rice paper from the Liuli Kingdom. Now that she knew it, and she knew how to make paper, she had to help Xuanyuan Yin solve the problem.

Yun Sanluo came back again. Xuanyuan Yin saw Yun Sanluo coming back and asked in surprise: "Concubine Ning, is there anything else?"

After hearing this, Yun Sangluo nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but I just heard you talking about rice paper with Prime Minister Chu, so I listened a few more words. Is Your Majesty worried about this?"

After hearing Yun Sanluo's words, Xuanyuan sighed and said: "Canglan Kingdom is relatively backward in production. It has always relied on purchasing rice paper from Liuli Kingdom, but the price is very high. The rice paper purchased soon will be used up, and The Liuli Kingdom is directly raising the price of rice paper, and I won’t hide it from you. The current state of the treasury makes it impossible to purchase so much rice paper..."

Xuanyuan Yin did not treat Yun Sanluo as an outsider, and told her the true situation of the current treasury.

Yun Sanluo frowned after hearing this. She never thought that the treasury was almost empty.

It seems that the Canglan Kingdom is already in ruins.

"Concubine Ning, you don't know something. Fortunately, the emperor supplements the national treasury from his own private treasury. Otherwise, it would be a problem for us to have enough food and clothing for three meals a day."

Although what Chu Yanzhou said is a bit exaggerated, it is true that the national treasury is no longer rich, and Xuanyuan Yin has been using private treasury to subsidize it.

After hearing what Chu Yanzhou said, Yun Sangluo couldn't help but think more highly of Xuanyuan Yin, and immediately told what he knew.

"Your Majesty, since rice paper from Liuli Kingdom is so expensive, why don't we try to make it ourselves?"

Yun Sanluo's words made Xuanyuan Yin shake his head: "Concubine Ning, you don't know something. It can be said that it is very complicated to make this rice paper. Canglan Country does not have such advanced technology at all, so it can only be made at a high price. Purchase it from the Glazed Kingdom."

If rice paper could be made, Xuanyuan Yin certainly hoped that Canglan Kingdom could make it, but it was not that easy. He had ordered people to make it before, but all his efforts were in vain.

"Concubine Ning, the emperor also ordered people to make rice paper before, but all failed, so he had to buy it from the Liuli Kingdom at a high price. But he didn't expect that the price of rice paper from the Liuli Kingdom would be higher year by year, and there are still many countries competing for it. There is almost not enough to buy, but there is almost not enough to sell." Chu Yanzhou said from the side, with a hint of warmth on his face.

"Since rice paper is so expensive, why don't we just not buy it..." Yun Sanluo blurted out.

Chu Yanzhou quickly shook his head and said: "It's okay not to buy it. Before Canglan Country bought rice paper from Liuli Country, Canglan Country used bark and bamboo paper, which was very inconvenient for writing. , so since this rice paper is expensive, I still have to buy it.”

Yun Sanluo felt a little funny after hearing this. Before she finished speaking, Chu Yanzhou stopped her. This shows the importance of this rice paper to Canglan Kingdom. If she later said that she knew how to make paper, would she directly put the two of them to death? Are you scared?

Yun Sangluo continued calmly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Chu. What I said about not buying rice paper from the Liuli Kingdom is to make rice paper with confidence, so that in the future, we in the Canglan Kingdom will no longer have to buy it from the Liuli Kingdom. , and buying them all the time is not an option. It is really a waste of money. With this money, you can build several paper factories."

As expected, Xuanyuan Yin and Chu Yanzhou were dumbfounded as soon as Yun Sanluo said these words.

Xuanyuan Yin asked with some uncertainty: "Concubine Ning, I didn't seem to hear clearly what you just said. Please say it again!"

Chu Yanzhou also approached Yun Sanluo and vigorously picked out his ears. Could it be that he was hallucinating just now?

What Yun Sanluo just said was that she could make rice paper, and that was rice paper. The unique papermaking technology of Liuli Country was not that easy!

Yun Sangluo smiled and repeated: "Your Majesty, what I just said is that I know the technology of making rice paper. From now on, we no longer need to buy it from the Liuli Kingdom. We can be completely self-sufficient."

This time Yun Sangluo deliberately raised his voice, and both Xuanyuan Yin and Chu Yanzhou heard it very clearly.

Yun Sanluo said that she knew how to make rice paper, which was really amazing news.

Xuanyuan Yin couldn't help but remember, held Yun Sanluo's arm tightly with both hands, and asked again: "Concubine Ning, do you really know how to make rice paper?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, how dare I lie to you!" Yun Sanluo nodded seriously.

After Xuanyuan Yin got the affirmative answer, he directly took Yun Sanluo into his arms and said happily: "That's great, Concubine Ning, you are really my lucky star, the lucky star of Canglan Kingdom, I don't know how to thank you. !”

Xuanyuan Yin completely ignored Chu Yanzhou who was still beside him, and Chu Yanzhou was still immersed in Yun Sanluo's shocking news, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

When Chu Yanzhou came to his senses, Xuanyuan Yin also let go of Yun Sanluo. Chu Yanzhou asked excitedly: "Concubine Ning, you really know how to make rice paper. Have you tried it?"

Yun Sanluo listened to Chu Yanzhou's words. Although she had not experimented with it in ancient times, in modern times, she had seen papermaking while browsing videos when she was bored. She was curious and bought a set of tools and experimented by herself. , and it was successful the first time.

As for the tools and materials, they can be found in ancient times. It should not be a problem to make paper. If it is made well, it will be whiter and flawless than the rice paper they use now.

However, Yun Sanluo did not tell Xuanyuan Yin and Chu Yanzhou in advance, hoping to keep a little surprise for them.

"Prime Minister Chu, please rest assured. I have indeed done it before and it was successful. I just didn't expect that Canglan Country does not have this technology.

But before, I was just a little concubine, living with my aunt in a dilapidated yard and a nanny. I only did it once on a whim, but I never shared it with anyone, and I gradually forgot about it. thing.

If I hadn't heard the emperor and Prime Minister Chu mention it today, I might have forgotten about papermaking. "

These words were naturally made by Yun Sanluo. The original owner didn't know how to make paper. The reason why she said this was just to tell Xuanyuan Yin how miserable her previous life was, and the mastermind behind all this was Yun Wanrou's mother. , Xuanyuan Yin will definitely not have a good impression of Yun Wanrou.
