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

The three of them ate this meal with great joy. Although the food prepared by the imperial kitchen was exquisite and the imperial chef's knife skills were superb, the taste was not as good as Yun Sanluo's, especially since there was a lack of various seasonings in ancient times. Naturally, It's not as good as Yun Sanluo's appetizing one.

Yun Sangluo knew that there were relatively few seasonings in ancient times, and the salt was still coarse salt. There was no cooking wine, cooking oil, soy sauce, or thirteen spices. Therefore, the food made was of course incomparable with modern times.

"Concubine Ning, your food is really good!" Chu Yanzhou smacked his fingers after eating and said with a satisfied look on his face.

"As long as it tastes delicious, if the emperor and Prime Minister Chu like it, I will make it next time."

After hearing this, Chu Yanzhou nodded happily and said to Xuanyuan Yin beside him: "Your Majesty, I will come with you more often in the future!"

Xuanyuan Yin listened to Chu Yanzhou's words and refused directly: "You are a prime minister who often comes to the harem to have food. What does it look like? Are you so free on weekdays? If you have nothing to do, I can arrange it for you..."

Before Xuanyuan Yin finished speaking, Chu Yanzhou hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, I am joking. I am very busy on weekdays!"

After Chu Yanzhou finished speaking, he pouted, thinking that Xuanyuan Yin was really stingy, but it was really inappropriate for a prime minister like him to come to the harem often. Although he came with Xuanyuan Yin, it was inevitable that people with intentions would spread gossip outside.

In the end, Chu Yanzhou's wish to have a meal was in vain.

Yun Sangluo could see Chu Yanzhou's thoughts and said: "Prime Minister Chu, if you like to eat sheep and scorpion hot pot, it's actually very simple. You can also make it in your own house. I will write you a recipe later. , you can just ask the cook in the mansion to do it when you go back."

Yun Sanluo's words immediately cheered up Chu Yanzhou. He didn't expect Yun Sanluo to be so generous and gave him the formula directly. He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you very much, Concubine Ning."

After lunch, Xuanyuan Yin and Chu Yanzhou still had business to discuss, so they returned to Jingqian Palace.

Yun Sanluo began to order people to prepare the tools for papermaking. Before mass production of paper, Yun Sanluo had to successfully make the paper so that it could be put into production.

In fact, papermaking is a very easy thing for Yun Sanluo, but it is not so easy for ancient people. Once she can make paper, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Yun Sanluo first made a list and asked Xiao Zhuozi to hand over the things that needed to be prepared to Eunuch Xu. After Eunuch Xu had prepared everything, it was already a day later.

On this day, during the morning court, Xuanyuan Yin had a smile on his face, and the ministers were very puzzled.

An elderly minister couldn't help but ask everyone's question: "Your Majesty, I see that you are particularly happy today, but what are you so happy about?"

In the past, Xuanyuan Yin always had a straight face and a very serious expression when he went to court in the morning. It was really rare to see someone as pleasant and cheerful as he is today.

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yin smiled and replied: "Yes, I do have a great good thing today, and I want to share it with all my dear friends!"

After listening to Xuanyuan Yin's words, the ministers were whispering among themselves below. The ministers who were close to Chu Yanzhou also asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister Chu, the emperor said that there is a great good thing. Does Prime Minister Chu know what it is?"

Chu Yanzhou couldn't help but smile on his face. He tilted his head and covered his mouth and whispered back: "This is a great good thing that will benefit Canglan Country. When you know about it later, you will all jump for joy!"

After hearing what Chu Yanzhou said, the minister thought he was joking, with disbelief on his face. What Chu Yanzhou said was too loud. What kind of good thing could make them jump with joy? The minister expressed doubts.

The minister who spoke to Chu Yanzhou was a civil servant who was very obsessed with literature and was an honest man. Just buying the four treasures of the study would cost a large sum of money every month. If Canglan Country could produce paper, what would happen to him? It's a great thing to say.

Xuanyuan Yin's words aroused the curiosity of the ministers, but no one could guess what was going on?

"Your Majesty, what is this good thing? I am very curious!"

At this time Yun Kai spoke. He was also very curious about what Xuanyuan Yin had just said, so he stood up and asked.

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the expectant expressions on everyone's faces, and stopped trying to be pretentious. She looked at Yun Kai and said, "Thanks to General Yun, I have a smart and witty daughter who invented a very powerful thing for our country. When it comes out, the benefits it will bring to our country will be immeasurable."

This time it was Yun Kai's turn to be confused. Hearing Xuanyuan Yin's words, Yun Sanluo must have invented something again. Yun Kai also felt a little incredible.

This time the ministers were even more curious and asked what Xuanyuan Yin was.

Xuanyuan Yin and Chu Yanzhou looked at each other, and they knew that the ministers in the court would be extremely interested in this new invention.

Xuanyuan Yin cleared his throat and said: "As you all know, Canglan Kingdom spends a lot of gold and silver to purchase a large amount of paper from Liuli Kingdom, and this year Liuli Kingdom increased the price of a piece of rice paper to fifty The price of a piece of copper plate continues to rise, and I am also feeling pressure. Just when I was at my wits' end, Concubine Ning gave me some advice and finally solved the paper problem in our country."

"what?"

"Solved the paper problem?"

"Your Majesty, does our country no longer need to buy paper from Liuli Kingdom?"

After hearing the news, the ministers stood up and asked, if this is really the case, then it is really great news, which is enough to make them so excited that they can't sleep.

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the excited ministers, nodded and said, "Yes, Concubine Ning said she can make paper!"

Xuanyuan Yin's simple words completely made the ministers uneasy.

They all know how valuable the paper from the Liuli Kingdom is. Even ministers like them do not dare to squander it easily. Moreover, the important thing is that Canglan Kingdom has limited purchases from the Liuli Kingdom. Therefore, if you want to buy rice paper on weekdays, it is not just a matter of money. You can buy it with silver, and there is a limited supply for everyone.

Like ordinary children from poor families, it is even more difficult to buy rice paper.

It's not that Xuanyuan Yin doesn't want to buy more, it's mainly because the price of rice paper is too high, and the Liuli Kingdom's annual production is also limited. At the same time, in addition to supplying its own country, it also has to supply to other countries. This is why each country is stipulated to have one year. , there is a maximum number of pieces that can be purchased.

If Yun Sangluo really invented the hard-earned paper, it would be a gratifying and congratulatory event, and the whole country would probably celebrate it.

The faces of each of the ministers were full of shock at this time, as they were digesting what Xuanyuan Yin had just said.
