Rebirth of Guo Jiashengtong
Chapter 43
Guo Shengtong was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sneered: "Come and listen, Emperor Guangwu would say such nasty words."It's really disgusting.After much deliberation, it should be the effect of this appearance. '
She came out of his arms calmly: "It's Your Majesty, it's so early today. By the way, can Your Majesty go to Yilan Hall? Sister Yin must miss His Majesty very much."
"She's just a wife, so can you call her sister?" Liu Xiu said coldly.
Guo Shengtong was disgusted when he heard the words, he also said the same in his previous life...but what happened later?
Love, especially a man's love, is really the most unbelievable thing in this world.
"After all, she is Uncle Wen once..." Guo Shengtong hesitated to speak, and then persuaded, "Uncle Wen should go and see Sister Yin. How about resting there tonight? I'm pregnant, so it's inconvenient."
Nonsense, where do you two like to go.If it wasn't for her cute, obedient and filial Jiang'er, Fu'er.She would probably go to the system to buy something that would make Liu Xiu have sex dreams all by herself.Now Jiang'er is already in the belly.She is only one helper away from consummation of merits and virtues.Why should I wrong myself to stay with Liu Xiu?Besides.Now that she is pregnant with Jiang'er, no matter how much she hangs out with Liu Xiu, she will not be able to conceive Fu'er right away...
What is the name of a person like Liu Xiu in later generations?Oh, and cucumbers from the public bureau?Um...or a massage stick?But no matter what.She doesn't mind if he goes to use Yin Lihua, so that Yin Lihua can have a child in advance, so that she won't be lonely all her life, it's also good...
Liu Xiu listened to Guo Shengtong's persuasion, but her face was full of hesitation.
His current feelings for Yin Lihua... well, it can be said that he is close to his hometown?In short, the most beautiful things in the past disappeared after seeing the real person... If he disappeared, he might still remember how beautiful Yin Lihua was in his whole life... But after seeing him, he found that the stunningness of the past is no matter how he looks at it now. I can't believe it.Then he thought of the difficulties Yin Lihua's mother gave him when he crazily begged to marry Yin Lihua.Liu Xiu felt even more uncomfortable...
Seeing Liu Xiu's worried face, Guo Shengtong didn't know why, so he just comforted him as usual: "Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen, I didn't ask you to see Sister Yin because... After I had a child, I felt that I should be kind to others. Sister Yin is inseparable all my life. Open the palace. You should give her a child anyway..."
Liu Xiu had a thought: child!Indeed, he should have a child from the Southland, so as to balance...
----
Yin Lihua learned that Liu Xiu was coming tonight, so she hurriedly washed and prepared.
It's sad to say that no matter what the status of the women in the Han Palace is, after entering the gate of the palace, they can only turn for one man in their whole life.Whether it's jealousy or jealousy.
Everyone used to be a sweet girl in the family, but when they enter the Han Palace, they have to treat themselves as the slaves of the only man in the Han Palace: they have to please him all the time, pay attention to him, and be vigilant when other women approach him...
This life has been wasted like this.
Yin Lihua is like this, Guo Shengtong...but he doesn't want to!
Guo Shengtong, who has seen the strength of women in later generations, seen the Emperor Wu a hundred years later, seen the changes in history, read and experienced the magnificence of the art of war and the charm of power, how could he wish to be trapped in this life like an ordinary woman again? No freedom in the harem, fighting each other for a man who doesn't love?Don't say she doesn't want to, she doesn't even have any interest in trying love!
Picking up the pen, swiping the brush, and finishing it in one go on the new paper sent by Guo Kuang——
Few ancient palaces, the palace flowers are lonely and red.
"Your Majesty." Kui Nu frowned secretly as she looked at the poem on the paper.This poem is too bleak...
"Tell Mr. Lang that this paper can be offered," Guo Sheng said, "it's available."
"No, no." Kui Nu hurriedly turned and went out.
Guo Shengtong didn't wait for the ink to dry, he picked up the paper and tore it in two.She picked up a pen and wrote four strong and powerful characters on another large piece of paper, but these characters were not official script used in Han Dynasty.It is better than Xingkai in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This word, I am afraid that only she can know it now——
Who is in charge of ups and downs? !
"Who is in charge of ups and downs?" She read, and then chuckled, "It's me! Of course it's me!"
The corners of her lips curled up, this Han Palace is no longer a cage to trap her in this life, but a magnificent stage for her to showcase her talents.
She caressed her lower abdomen with her hand: "Mother's Jiang'er, my mother will give you a strong man."
It's not the Han Dynasty that can be called a paper tiger in Liu Xiu's hands, but a truly powerful man...
----
"Your Majesty, it's time." Xiao Huangmen said, "Do you want to drive to the Yilan Hall?"
Liu Xiu was taken aback: "It's Xu time?"
How did time go so fast?
"Go to Yilan Hall." He said.
"No," Xiao Huangmen shouted after walking a few steps outside, "Excuse me! Let's go to Yilan Hall!"
"No!" The people waiting outside all agreed.
Sitting on the table, Liu Xiu had mixed feelings: Intellectually, he knew that Yin Lihua had to have a child, so staying overnight in Yilan Hall was inevitable.And it is best for this child to be within the same age gap as the child born by Guo Shengtong, so as to better balance the forces of the two places.
But emotionally—
He sighed softly: Why did Lihua become so mediocre?The beauty of the past... Now that he thinks about it, he just thinks why he was so angry with Yinmu just to marry her?She is not the only noble lady of the Nandi clan, but why did he just fall in love with her back then?
'She is not as good as Guo Shengtong...'
This idea grew like a seed in his mind from the day they met in Luoyang City, and with the sharp contrast between the two of them on the day of the queen seal, the seed took root and sprouted even more rapidly.
And the direct result of this is that Liu Xiu is even more reluctant to see Yin Lihua, because her existence will remind Liu Xiu at any time: how ridiculous his humiliation and that oath were...
He knew that after watching the ceremony that day, everyone would mock him in private, without saying a word, that he would fall in love with such a mediocre Yin Lihua at first sight, and then fall in love with him, and even said that "to marry a wife is to marry." Yin Lihua's words.I even thought about letting Yin Lihua enter Luoyang City first...
"Unforgivable!" he growled.
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Huangmen was taken aback.The man who carried the bout immediately put down the bout and knelt down on the ground, trembling.
"What for?" Liu Xiu was furious, "Abandoned it? Bold! Drag it on, eighty sticks!"
"No, no!" Xiao Huangmen hastily ordered someone to drag these poor palace servants down.
A new group of palace lifters lifted the palace tremblingly and walked away.
Liu Xiu's heart was relieved, and after walking for a while, he felt that something was wrong before.After eighty sticks, can people live safely?Being punished with a rod for his uplifting... It is extremely detrimental to his reputation when it is spread.
"Go, go, tell the executioner, so that those people will not be punished."
Xiao Huangmen was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is merciful!"
Liu Xiu listened to his praise with satisfaction, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips...
----
Inside the Yilan Hall.
"Ma'am," Jiang Nu stepped forward, "it's already cold for feeding."
"Remove it, reward everyone, and order the cook to make new ones." Yin Lihua said coldly.
Jiang Nu couldn't help touching her naturally swollen stomach: "No. Madam, this is already the third time..."
"I'll let you take it down and ask the cook to make new ones," Yin Lihua raised her voice, "How can Your Majesty eat stale food?"
"No, no." Jiang Nu didn't dare to say any more.
The ingredients in Yilan Palace also have a daily profit.Today has seriously exceeded the portion, in order to keep these servants from starving, she should go down and ask if there is any way to save these cooked food until tomorrow.
Not long after, a new feed was served steaming hot.
It was already the end of Xu Shi.But Liu Xiu still didn't arrive.
Yin Lihua was unavoidably a little restless at this time.
As if hearing her inner voice, Xiao Huangmen's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, come to Yilan Hall!"
Yin Lihua straightened her clothes hastily, and greeted her with a smile: "Your Majesty."
"Hua'er, I'm here." Liu Xiu held her hand, "Does Hua'er miss me?"
"Naturally," Yin Lihua smiled shyly, "Your Majesty seems to have never read Hua'er."
"It's unreasonable," Liu Xiudao, "I miss Hua'er every day, but now the political affairs are heavy, and I can't see him. Today, my political affairs are over too early, and I was invited to the Changqiu Palace. I think this Guo family has passed away. Yue, the fetal breath has stabilized, so I pushed it to your place. When will Hua'er conceive a child for me?"
He caressed her belly: "I have been looking forward to Hua'er's child for a long time!"
Rao Yin Lihua couldn't bear to be moved after hearing Liu Xiu's words: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty really thinks so?"
"Your Majesty?" Liu Xiu feigned anger, "Others call me Your Majesty, but Hua'er doesn't need to. Calling me Uncle Wen is enough."
This time Yin Lihua was really moved, she didn't expect Liu Xiu to say these words, her heart was shaken suddenly, and the grievances of many days also had an outlet: "Uncle Wen."
Liu Xiu was hugged and cried bitterly by Yin Lihua, and he patted her on the back lightly, as if to comfort her.But my heart is full of irritability and helplessness... How does this Yin family know how to cry every day?
Yin Lihua cried a few times, knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly got out.She said with a shy smile, "Uncle Wen, hurry up and have a taste of feeding. I just made it and it's still hot. Eldest sister loves the feeding made by this cook..."
She is so enthusiastic, but Liu Xiu can't help but think of Guo Shengtong feeding him with his own hands...
Yin Lihua had great confidence in her cook's skills. Although she had heard that Guo Shengtong was good at cooking, she wanted a noble girl, no matter how good she was, she couldn't compare with someone who made a living from cooking.
Liu Xiu was enthusiastically persuaded by her to take a sip and put it down silently.
He was a little hungry. This cook's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary, but she still hasn't learned the method of boiling in salt water... You let a person who is used to stir-fried vegetables and delicate pasta go back to the basics and return to boiled food. The era... that is simply too difficult for others!
With just this one mouthful, Liu Xiu thought about going back to Changqiu Palace immediately.Although Guo Shengtong no longer cooks, her personal maids named A Lu and A Xue are not bad at cooking...
Maybe if I go back now, I can catch up with the dinner in Changqiu Palace.
As for Yin Lihua's belly, it didn't get bigger overnight, right?
"Why didn't Uncle Wen eat?" Yin Lihua hurriedly asked seeing him put his mind down.
"I suddenly remembered that I promised Tong'er to have dinner with her." Liu Xiu sighed, "Hua'er, Tong'er has a body after all, and that is my first child."
'child!Liu Xiu's first child! ’ Yin Lihua was jealous and hated, but unfortunately, Zhuruo did so well at that time, she didn't dare to use any tricks.
"Then Uncle Wen, let's go," Yin Lihua looked down, "A pregnant woman needs to be happy physically and mentally to give birth to a healthy husband, but the empress is too rigid..."
She wanted to blow her ears again, but it was a pity that this desire to eat dinner was Liu Xiu's selfish intention.Even the excuses were made up just now, so her deaf ears were in vain...
Liu Xiu finally got rid of Yin Lihua, stepped forward in a very relaxed mood, and headed towards Changqiu Palace...
Before reaching the Changqiu Palace, a small yellow door came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Kuang, the younger brother of the Queen's Empress, is begging to see Your Majesty outside the palace."
Liu Xiu took a deep breath: "Please come to the front hall quickly."
It's all right now, there's no need for dinner: "Put it in the front hall."
----
Guo Kuang came to him now for a reason.
Seeing Liu Xiu approaching, Guo Kuang rushed forward like a 13-year-old boy should behave: "Brother-in-law... Your Majesty."
He looked slightly embarrassed, lowered his head, a little uneasy: "Your Majesty."
Liu Xiu was delighted to see him, and when he recalled what he used to look like, he was even happier: "Here comes Kuang'er, the title 'Your Majesty Brother-in-law' is quite rare, but this is the first time I've heard of it."
"Your Majesty," Guo Kuang became even more shy, but straightened his blushing face like an adult, "It's Kuang who lost his composure."
"No," Liu Xiu sighed, "Since I ascended the throne, I seldom hear such an affectionate address. Let me call you brother-in-law. It is not too late to call you Your Majesty when there are outsiders."
"No," Guo Kuang said, "Brother-in-law. I interrupted my brother-in-law for dinner, because I have something to offer to my brother-in-law!"
After he finished speaking, he took out a few blank papers from his pocket and handed them to Liu Xiu: "There is a person named Cai at the foot of Daju Mountain, and this is presented by him."
Liu Xiu took the paper and was shocked when he saw it.
The paper was different from his paper with many bumps and bumps on it. Not only was it off-white in color, but it was also smooth.
"This is?"
"New paper!" Guo Kuang explained Liu Xiu's doubts enthusiastically. Silk is better."
Liu Xiu was refreshed, busy with several cases, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, thought for a while, then swiped the pen on the paper: "Excellent! Excellent!"
On that paper is a big word 'sky'.Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Where is the person with the surname Cai?"
"Dead," Guo Kuang said, "I have invited all his descendants to Luoyang City. Brother-in-law, would you like to meet?"
After hearing this, Liu Xiu became less interested: "Are there any descendants who know how to make paper?"
"Nothing," Guo Kuang sighed, "there is only one piece of paper making. I left in a hurry. If my brother-in-law wants it, I will send it right away."
"Forget it," Liu Xiu was even less interested, "Do you need old clothes for papermaking?"
"Yes," Guo Kuang said, "new clothes are fine, but they will cost more."
Liu Xiu was even more disappointed, the old clothes seemed to be feasible.After all these years of fighting, although he has built a country now, the treasury is so empty that mice don't even bother to dig holes.How many common people in the world are willing to throw away their old clothes?Although this new paper is good, the price may be too high.It's better to give it to the Guo family as a favor.
"Kuang'er, take care, the new paper means a lot!" He sighed, "Kuang'er, this is a good business with huge profits. The Guo family has rarely been profitable since your father. Since you are self-reliant, why not Based on this, we are doing new paper business.”
"Brother-in-law thinks the same way?" Guo Kuang seemed even happier, "I think so too, not to mention anything else, just after my brother-in-law became emperor, this new paper is a good omen, and there is a child in my sister's womb. How do you hear it?" Everyone thinks it’s good luck! It’s a pity that my mother said that this can’t be done. Now all businesses are waiting for prosperity. My Guo family has very little wealth since my sister married. My mother said that it is too difficult to buy old clothes. I am afraid that the cost will be too high to sell. out."
Liu Xiu felt sorry for hearing this, and felt that Master Guo's thoughts were extremely reasonable.However, what Guo Kuang said was right.New paper is a good omen!Nowadays, most of the scholars come from the clan, if this part of the people also feel...
This must be done!
He looked at the stupid Guo Kuang in front of him, and he had an idea: "Kuanger, what Master Guo said is very reasonable. But, are you willing to bury this new paper? This is the best time to revitalize the Guo family! New paper As soon as it comes out, Guo's reputation will not only spread far and wide, but Kuang'er's name will also be heard like thunder! A real man should be like this when he is alive!"
Sure enough, Guo Kuang was even more excited, he almost jumped up: "Brother-in-law is right! I will make this new paper!"
What Liu Xiu was waiting for was his words: "Good! Kuang'er is really a man!"
"Brother-in-law," Guo Kuang said suddenly, "but what if my mother refuses?"
Liu Xiu also frowned: "Yes, most of the Guo family's wealth is now in the hands of Master Guo, but Master Guo is not easy to fool. '
"Yes!" Guo Kuang exclaimed suddenly, "I share with my brother-in-law. Every time I sell new paper, I will give nine cents to my brother-in-law. If my brother-in-law gives me a token, I will be called a merchant on behalf of the Son of Heaven!"
"Nine percent profit? What do you need to buy used clothes?" Liu Xiu was a little moved. It would be great if Guo Kuang gave him nine percent profit without him paying the cost.
Sure enough, Guo Kuang didn't disappoint him: "I'm the one who bought the old clothes! It's just my brother-in-law, my mother still wants me to get a job..."
"What's so difficult about this!" Liu Xiudao, "I was negligent. You can be granted a title now."
He thought about it.Pick up a pen and write down the words 'Loyalty and Honor': "What do you think of this?"
Guo Kuang's eyes flashed an imperceptible sarcasm, but his face smiled happily: "I don't understand, anyway, it would be good if I can let my mother not talk about me."
"That's the Marquis of Loyalty." Liu Xiu unfolded a volume of silk used in the imperial decree, wrote an imperial decree, and then stamped it with a big seal: "Show it to your mother."
Guo Kuang took it and looked at it, and wanted to laugh instantly: "Liu Xiu is so magnanimous, he actually gave him the entire Shu land as a fief with a wave of his big hand."However, although the land of Shu is rich, it can be called Tianfu.But now it is still in the hands of Gongsun Shu.Gongsun Shu has always been good at governing his subordinates, and he is also very good to the people. No one in Shu is dissatisfied or disapproving.Whether this fief can become what I have in my pocket is still unknown.However, to be able to give him all the new paper, and to seal him some vacant position in the paper-making government office sounds really majestic.This also prevents someone from robbing him of business in the future.Liu Xiu did a good job in this regard. '
"Brother-in-law," Guo Kuang said, "did you make a mistake? The land of Shu is so huge, let alone how virtuous and capable you are, to have the land to yourself?"
Liu Xiu thought about it. According to the information sent back by Wu Han, it is not certain whether Shu can be conquered or not.If Guo Kuang couldn't get any actual supplies from the feudal city, he couldn't be blamed.The fiefdom he gave was so large that it was impossible to pick a mistake.
"Kuang'er, why should you be humble?" Liu Xiu said with a smile, "New paper is something that benefits the country and the people!"
A smile floated on Guo Kuang's face: "Yes, brother-in-law, my mother and sister will be happy when they see this edict."
Liu Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that Guo Kuang was a little stupid, so he could be easily deceived.But Master Guo is not stupid.He took nine percent of the net profit, and gave Guo Kuang a fief that he might not be able to give to Guo Kuang. He seemed to be a bit rude: "Nine percent of the profit is out of the question, my brother-in-law didn't do anything for you, and you have to deal with papermaking The trick is to buy old clothes. In my opinion, it’s not as good as three sevens? Seven for you, three for me is enough. To be honest, if the treasury is not empty, my brother-in-law would not want a profit.”
"Brother-in-law!" Guo Kuang shouted, "No, brother-in-law is so kind to Kuang. Besides, how could He De be able to be a Marquis and enjoy such a good fiefdom. It can even be famous all over the world! This is not right, no Sure!"
"I've made up my mind!" Liu Xiu said.
"No, brother-in-law, like this, four or six. Brother-in-law six, I am four, if brother-in-law does not agree, I will not make such a waste of paper!" Guo Kuang said angrily.
Liu Xiu was moved when she heard this: "Good boy. Let's go five or five, don't argue with brother-in-law."
Guo Kuang nodded reluctantly: "Brother-in-law, also write it in the imperial decree, so that brother-in-law will not secretly give Kuang a rebate."
When Liu Xiu heard the words, he was even more moved by Guo Kuang's innocence towards him.Immediately wrote: "Are you going to Changqiu Palace? Your elder sister misses you too."
Guo Kuang was moved for a while, but he looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and shook his head resolutely: "No, brother-in-law's important matter is important. I will go back to make paper tonight!"
He turned around and left, then turned back suddenly: "Brother-in-law by the way. Master Zhuruo said goodbye to his mother today and returned to Hebei. Would you like to see him?"
"Master Zhuruo..." Liu Xiu thought for a while, "I still owe him a promise. I promised to repair Buddhist temples and promote Buddhism for him. It's just that the treasury is empty now."
"Use my net profit to build a Buddhist temple for Master Zhuruo!" Guo Kuang said, "How can brother-in-law's promise be invalidated? We are a family, use mine, brother-in-law, you must not refuse!"
Liu Xiu's heart was warm, and she felt sorry for Guo Kuang: "Kuanger, you leave these new papers here, and tomorrow I will show them to the ministers in the court hall, so hurry up and make them. By the way, the shop that sells paper you Also look at it, choose a location and tell your brother-in-law. My brother-in-law ordered Jingcheng Yin to draw the land and build a house for you."
"No." Guo Kuang responded and left in a hurry.
"Guo family, Guo family..." Liu Xiu thought over and over again, the warmth in his heart couldn't be dispelled no matter what.
----
Guo Kuang came out of the palace gate, got into the ox cart and spat hard: "There are many lies! If the materials used to make paper are really old clothes, wouldn't I be at a loss? It seems that a few years ago I had to use them first. Holding on to the old clothes, I will replace them with bark and other things after Liu Xiusong fades away in a few years!"
He held the imperial decree in his hand: "The only advantage is to get this thing. It has to be kept well. If Liu Xiuzhen can recover the land of Shu, I will give it away. If the paper is very profitable in the future, with this thing by my side, I want to Then Liu Xiu can't easily break the contract. The only thing to do is to publicize the content here. It's better for everyone to know!"
With an idea in his mind, he made up his mind.
Think carefully about what you did just now.Although it seems to have lost a lot of profits, but when you think about it carefully, it is a big profit...
She came out of his arms calmly: "It's Your Majesty, it's so early today. By the way, can Your Majesty go to Yilan Hall? Sister Yin must miss His Majesty very much."
"She's just a wife, so can you call her sister?" Liu Xiu said coldly.
Guo Shengtong was disgusted when he heard the words, he also said the same in his previous life...but what happened later?
Love, especially a man's love, is really the most unbelievable thing in this world.
"After all, she is Uncle Wen once..." Guo Shengtong hesitated to speak, and then persuaded, "Uncle Wen should go and see Sister Yin. How about resting there tonight? I'm pregnant, so it's inconvenient."
Nonsense, where do you two like to go.If it wasn't for her cute, obedient and filial Jiang'er, Fu'er.She would probably go to the system to buy something that would make Liu Xiu have sex dreams all by herself.Now Jiang'er is already in the belly.She is only one helper away from consummation of merits and virtues.Why should I wrong myself to stay with Liu Xiu?Besides.Now that she is pregnant with Jiang'er, no matter how much she hangs out with Liu Xiu, she will not be able to conceive Fu'er right away...
What is the name of a person like Liu Xiu in later generations?Oh, and cucumbers from the public bureau?Um...or a massage stick?But no matter what.She doesn't mind if he goes to use Yin Lihua, so that Yin Lihua can have a child in advance, so that she won't be lonely all her life, it's also good...
Liu Xiu listened to Guo Shengtong's persuasion, but her face was full of hesitation.
His current feelings for Yin Lihua... well, it can be said that he is close to his hometown?In short, the most beautiful things in the past disappeared after seeing the real person...

She caressed her lower abdomen with her hand: "Mother's Jiang'er, my mother will give you a strong man."
It's not the Han Dynasty that can be called a paper tiger in Liu Xiu's hands, but a truly powerful man...

"Your Majesty, it's time." Xiao Huangmen said, "Do you want to drive to the Yilan Hall?"
Liu Xiu was taken aback: "It's Xu time?"

The ingredients in Yilan Palace also have a daily profit.Today has seriously exceeded the portion, in order to keep these servants from starving, she should go down and ask if there is any way to save these cooked food until tomorrow.
Not long after, a new feed was served steaming hot.
It was already the end of Xu Shi.But Liu Xiu still didn't arrive.
Yin Lihua was unavoidably a little restless at this time.
As if hearing her inner voice, Xiao Huangmen's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, come to Yilan Hall!"
Yin Lihua straightened her clothes hastily, and greeted her with a smile: "Your Majesty."
"Hua'er, I'm here." Liu Xiu held her hand, "Does Hua'er miss me?"
"Naturally," Yin Lihua smiled shyly, "Your Majesty seems to have never read Hua'er."
"It's unreasonable," Liu Xiudao, "I miss Hua'er every day, but now the political affairs are heavy, and I can't see him. Today, my political affairs are over too early, and I was invited to the Changqiu Palace. I think this Guo family has passed away. Yue, the fetal breath has stabilized, so I pushed it to your place. When will Hua'er conceive a child for me?"
He caressed her belly: "I have been looking forward to Hua'er's child for a long time!"
Rao Yin Lihua couldn't bear to be moved after hearing Liu Xiu's words: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty really thinks so?"
"Your Majesty?" Liu Xiu feigned anger, "Others call me Your Majesty, but Hua'er doesn't need to. Calling me Uncle Wen is enough."
This time Yin Lihua was really moved, she didn't expect Liu Xiu to say these words, her heart was shaken suddenly, and the grievances of many days also had an outlet: "Uncle Wen."
Liu Xiu was hugged and cried bitterly by Yin Lihua, and he patted her on the back lightly, as if to comfort her.But my heart is full of irritability and helplessness... How does this Yin family know how to cry every day?
Yin Lihua cried a few times, knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly got out.She said with a shy smile, "Uncle Wen, hurry up and have a taste of feeding. I just made it and it's still hot. Eldest sister loves the feeding made by this cook..."
She is so enthusiastic, but Liu Xiu can't help but think of Guo Shengtong feeding him with his own hands...
Yin Lihua had great confidence in her cook's skills. Although she had heard that Guo Shengtong was good at cooking, she wanted a noble girl, no matter how good she was, she couldn't compare with someone who made a living from cooking.
Liu Xiu was enthusiastically persuaded by her to take a sip and put it down silently.
He was a little hungry. This cook's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary, but she still hasn't learned the method of boiling in salt water... You let a person who is used to stir-fried vegetables and delicate pasta go back to the basics and return to boiled food. The era... that is simply too difficult for others!
With just this one mouthful, Liu Xiu thought about going back to Changqiu Palace immediately.Although Guo Shengtong no longer cooks, her personal maids named A Lu and A Xue are not bad at cooking...
Maybe if I go back now, I can catch up with the dinner in Changqiu Palace.
As for Yin Lihua's belly, it didn't get bigger overnight, right?
"Why didn't Uncle Wen eat?" Yin Lihua hurriedly asked seeing him put his mind down.
"I suddenly remembered that I promised Tong'er to have dinner with her." Liu Xiu sighed, "Hua'er, Tong'er has a body after all, and that is my first child."
'child!Liu Xiu's first child! ’ Yin Lihua was jealous and hated, but unfortunately, Zhuruo did so well at that time, she didn't dare to use any tricks.
"Then Uncle Wen, let's go," Yin Lihua looked down, "A pregnant woman needs to be happy physically and mentally to give birth to a healthy husband, but the empress is too rigid..."
She wanted to blow her ears again, but it was a pity that this desire to eat dinner was Liu Xiu's selfish intention.Even the excuses were made up just now, so her deaf ears were in vain...
Liu Xiu finally got rid of Yin Lihua, stepped forward in a very relaxed mood, and headed towards Changqiu Palace...
Before reaching the Changqiu Palace, a small yellow door came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Kuang, the younger brother of the Queen's Empress, is begging to see Your Majesty outside the palace."
Liu Xiu took a deep breath: "Please come to the front hall quickly."
It's all right now, there's no need for dinner: "Put it in the front hall."
----
Guo Kuang came to him now for a reason.
Seeing Liu Xiu approaching, Guo Kuang rushed forward like a 13-year-old boy should behave: "Brother-in-law... Your Majesty."
He looked slightly embarrassed, lowered his head, a little uneasy: "Your Majesty."
Liu Xiu was delighted to see him, and when he recalled what he used to look like, he was even happier: "Here comes Kuang'er, the title 'Your Majesty Brother-in-law' is quite rare, but this is the first time I've heard of it."
"Your Majesty," Guo Kuang became even more shy, but straightened his blushing face like an adult, "It's Kuang who lost his composure."
"No," Liu Xiu sighed, "Since I ascended the throne, I seldom hear such an affectionate address. Let me call you brother-in-law. It is not too late to call you Your Majesty when there are outsiders."
"No," Guo Kuang said, "Brother-in-law. I interrupted my brother-in-law for dinner, because I have something to offer to my brother-in-law!"
After he finished speaking, he took out a few blank papers from his pocket and handed them to Liu Xiu: "There is a person named Cai at the foot of Daju Mountain, and this is presented by him."
Liu Xiu took the paper and was shocked when he saw it.
The paper was different from his paper with many bumps and bumps on it. Not only was it off-white in color, but it was also smooth.
"This is?"
"New paper!" Guo Kuang explained Liu Xiu's doubts enthusiastically. Silk is better."
Liu Xiu was refreshed, busy with several cases, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, thought for a while, then swiped the pen on the paper: "Excellent! Excellent!"
On that paper is a big word 'sky'.Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Where is the person with the surname Cai?"
"Dead," Guo Kuang said, "I have invited all his descendants to Luoyang City. Brother-in-law, would you like to meet?"
After hearing this, Liu Xiu became less interested: "Are there any descendants who know how to make paper?"
"Nothing," Guo Kuang sighed, "there is only one piece of paper making. I left in a hurry. If my brother-in-law wants it, I will send it right away."
"Forget it," Liu Xiu was even less interested, "Do you need old clothes for papermaking?"
"Yes," Guo Kuang said, "new clothes are fine, but they will cost more."
Liu Xiu was even more disappointed, the old clothes seemed to be feasible.After all these years of fighting, although he has built a country now, the treasury is so empty that mice don't even bother to dig holes.How many common people in the world are willing to throw away their old clothes?Although this new paper is good, the price may be too high.It's better to give it to the Guo family as a favor.
"Kuang'er, take care, the new paper means a lot!" He sighed, "Kuang'er, this is a good business with huge profits. The Guo family has rarely been profitable since your father. Since you are self-reliant, why not Based on this, we are doing new paper business.”
"Brother-in-law thinks the same way?" Guo Kuang seemed even happier, "I think so too, not to mention anything else, just after my brother-in-law became emperor, this new paper is a good omen, and there is a child in my sister's womb. How do you hear it?" Everyone thinks it’s good luck! It’s a pity that my mother said that this can’t be done. Now all businesses are waiting for prosperity. My Guo family has very little wealth since my sister married. My mother said that it is too difficult to buy old clothes. I am afraid that the cost will be too high to sell. out."
Liu Xiu felt sorry for hearing this, and felt that Master Guo's thoughts were extremely reasonable.However, what Guo Kuang said was right.New paper is a good omen!Nowadays, most of the scholars come from the clan, if this part of the people also feel...
This must be done!
He looked at the stupid Guo Kuang in front of him, and he had an idea: "Kuanger, what Master Guo said is very reasonable. But, are you willing to bury this new paper? This is the best time to revitalize the Guo family! New paper As soon as it comes out, Guo's reputation will not only spread far and wide, but Kuang'er's name will also be heard like thunder! A real man should be like this when he is alive!"
Sure enough, Guo Kuang was even more excited, he almost jumped up: "Brother-in-law is right! I will make this new paper!"
What Liu Xiu was waiting for was his words: "Good! Kuang'er is really a man!"
"Brother-in-law," Guo Kuang said suddenly, "but what if my mother refuses?"
Liu Xiu also frowned: "Yes, most of the Guo family's wealth is now in the hands of Master Guo, but Master Guo is not easy to fool. '
"Yes!" Guo Kuang exclaimed suddenly, "I share with my brother-in-law. Every time I sell new paper, I will give nine cents to my brother-in-law. If my brother-in-law gives me a token, I will be called a merchant on behalf of the Son of Heaven!"
"Nine percent profit? What do you need to buy used clothes?" Liu Xiu was a little moved. It would be great if Guo Kuang gave him nine percent profit without him paying the cost.
Sure enough, Guo Kuang didn't disappoint him: "I'm the one who bought the old clothes! It's just my brother-in-law, my mother still wants me to get a job..."
"What's so difficult about this!" Liu Xiudao, "I was negligent. You can be granted a title now."
He thought about it.Pick up a pen and write down the words 'Loyalty and Honor': "What do you think of this?"
Guo Kuang's eyes flashed an imperceptible sarcasm, but his face smiled happily: "I don't understand, anyway, it would be good if I can let my mother not talk about me."
"That's the Marquis of Loyalty." Liu Xiu unfolded a volume of silk used in the imperial decree, wrote an imperial decree, and then stamped it with a big seal: "Show it to your mother."
Guo Kuang took it and looked at it, and wanted to laugh instantly: "Liu Xiu is so magnanimous, he actually gave him the entire Shu land as a fief with a wave of his big hand."However, although the land of Shu is rich, it can be called Tianfu.But now it is still in the hands of Gongsun Shu.Gongsun Shu has always been good at governing his subordinates, and he is also very good to the people. No one in Shu is dissatisfied or disapproving.Whether this fief can become what I have in my pocket is still unknown.However, to be able to give him all the new paper, and to seal him some vacant position in the paper-making government office sounds really majestic.This also prevents someone from robbing him of business in the future.Liu Xiu did a good job in this regard. '
"Brother-in-law," Guo Kuang said, "did you make a mistake? The land of Shu is so huge, let alone how virtuous and capable you are, to have the land to yourself?"
Liu Xiu thought about it. According to the information sent back by Wu Han, it is not certain whether Shu can be conquered or not.If Guo Kuang couldn't get any actual supplies from the feudal city, he couldn't be blamed.The fiefdom he gave was so large that it was impossible to pick a mistake.
"Kuang'er, why should you be humble?" Liu Xiu said with a smile, "New paper is something that benefits the country and the people!"
A smile floated on Guo Kuang's face: "Yes, brother-in-law, my mother and sister will be happy when they see this edict."
Liu Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that Guo Kuang was a little stupid, so he could be easily deceived.But Master Guo is not stupid.He took nine percent of the net profit, and gave Guo Kuang a fief that he might not be able to give to Guo Kuang. He seemed to be a bit rude: "Nine percent of the profit is out of the question, my brother-in-law didn't do anything for you, and you have to deal with papermaking The trick is to buy old clothes. In my opinion, it’s not as good as three sevens? Seven for you, three for me is enough. To be honest, if the treasury is not empty, my brother-in-law would not want a profit.”
"Brother-in-law!" Guo Kuang shouted, "No, brother-in-law is so kind to Kuang. Besides, how could He De be able to be a Marquis and enjoy such a good fiefdom. It can even be famous all over the world! This is not right, no Sure!"
"I've made up my mind!" Liu Xiu said.
"No, brother-in-law, like this, four or six. Brother-in-law six, I am four, if brother-in-law does not agree, I will not make such a waste of paper!" Guo Kuang said angrily.
Liu Xiu was moved when she heard this: "Good boy. Let's go five or five, don't argue with brother-in-law."
Guo Kuang nodded reluctantly: "Brother-in-law, also write it in the imperial decree, so that brother-in-law will not secretly give Kuang a rebate."
When Liu Xiu heard the words, he was even more moved by Guo Kuang's innocence towards him.Immediately wrote: "Are you going to Changqiu Palace? Your elder sister misses you too."
Guo Kuang was moved for a while, but he looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and shook his head resolutely: "No, brother-in-law's important matter is important. I will go back to make paper tonight!"
He turned around and left, then turned back suddenly: "Brother-in-law by the way. Master Zhuruo said goodbye to his mother today and returned to Hebei. Would you like to see him?"
"Master Zhuruo..." Liu Xiu thought for a while, "I still owe him a promise. I promised to repair Buddhist temples and promote Buddhism for him. It's just that the treasury is empty now."
"Use my net profit to build a Buddhist temple for Master Zhuruo!" Guo Kuang said, "How can brother-in-law's promise be invalidated? We are a family, use mine, brother-in-law, you must not refuse!"
Liu Xiu's heart was warm, and she felt sorry for Guo Kuang: "Kuanger, you leave these new papers here, and tomorrow I will show them to the ministers in the court hall, so hurry up and make them. By the way, the shop that sells paper you Also look at it, choose a location and tell your brother-in-law. My brother-in-law ordered Jingcheng Yin to draw the land and build a house for you."
"No." Guo Kuang responded and left in a hurry.
"Guo family, Guo family..." Liu Xiu thought over and over again, the warmth in his heart couldn't be dispelled no matter what.
----
Guo Kuang came out of the palace gate, got into the ox cart and spat hard: "There are many lies! If the materials used to make paper are really old clothes, wouldn't I be at a loss? It seems that a few years ago I had to use them first. Holding on to the old clothes, I will replace them with bark and other things after Liu Xiusong fades away in a few years!"
He held the imperial decree in his hand: "The only advantage is to get this thing. It has to be kept well. If Liu Xiuzhen can recover the land of Shu, I will give it away. If the paper is very profitable in the future, with this thing by my side, I want to Then Liu Xiu can't easily break the contract. The only thing to do is to publicize the content here. It's better for everyone to know!"
With an idea in his mind, he made up his mind.
Think carefully about what you did just now.Although it seems to have lost a lot of profits, but when you think about it carefully, it is a big profit...
