Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty: flirting with the princess at the beginning

In the next few days, every day as soon as the sky was bright, Yang Hao was picked up from the bed by Cheng Yanjin and went to the open area of the small courtyard to take a horse step!

If it was a simple horse step, it would not be too bitter, mainly because Yang Hao's hands and feet had to be tied with a 20-pound piece

of iron each As long as Yang Hao's horse steps are slightly non-standard or his hands are raised flat at less than the specified time point, there is a tendency to fall, Cheng Yanjin will take a stick and beat Yang Hao's little ass mercilessly, and Yang Hao, who is in pain, is grinning.

At the beginning, as soon as Yang Hao's temper came up, he simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, unwilling to get up and take a step, and let Cheng bite Jin with a stick while whipping and scolding himself for being unproductive, he couldn't even endure this bit of hardship, unlike a man, Yang Hao just couldn't get up.

Yang Hao thought to himself: Hey... Seeing

this, Cheng Biting Jin grinned, took the long axe and came over to Yang Hao's legs, and at the moment when he felt the contact between the long axe and the skin of his legs, Yang Hao was shocked into a cold sweat, watching Cheng Biting Jin constantly gesturing where to cut off his legs, Yang Hao also knew that he was scaring himself, but this long axe weighed one hundred and eighty catties, in case Cheng Biting Jin missed,

it would ......

Thinking of this, Yang Hao had to succumb to Cheng Biting Jin's obscenity, hurriedly got up with a bitter face, endured the soreness on his hands and feet, and obediently and consciously tied

up the horse step!

And Cheng Biting Jin came over every morning, Yang Lingfeng would prepare a large table of wine and food, and after Yang Hao finished the horse step, Yang Lingfeng would come over and invite Cheng Biting Jin to come over for dinner.

Cheng Yanjin is also tired of this, he is very satisfied with the wine and food at Yang Hao's house, and constantly pushes and changes glasses with Yang Lingfeng at the dining table, talking and laughing, as if he has become a pair of

good friends!

On this morning, Yang Hao had just finished eating and was about to go back to make up for his sleep, when a guard from Princess Changle came over and said that Princess Changle had asked her to go to the carriage factory and look for him if he had something!

After hearing this, Yang Hao went into the room to take a shower, changed his clothes, and followed the guards to the carriage factory!

All the way to the paper-making area in the carriage factory, Yang Hao saw that Princess Changle's guards were directing the workers to continuously take out white paper from it and put it on the carriage!

Princess Changle heard the voice, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Yang Hao, and smiled lightly!

, "You're here, I'm looking for you to come over and discuss something, you wait for a while, I'll talk about it when I'm done."

"Well, okay, I also like to see you do things seriously."

Princess Changle glared at him shyly, didn't speak, turned her head and continued to be busy with her own affairs!

After the past few days, a large number of workers have poured in to work, and a total of about 60 big pits have been dug around, and they are still digging

, looking at the busy figures of the surrounding crowd, those refugee workers have satisfied and happy smiles on their faces,

Yang Hao feels a burst of pride.

And the refugee workers also know that the reason why they can have their current good jobs is because Yang Hao and Princess Changle opened these two factories, and it is also Yang Hao who proposed to give priority to recruiting these refugees to work.

And when these workers saw Yang Hao, they would also greet them warmly, calling them Lord Jue, and some of them were sweet and handsome Viscounts, and their eyes were full of gratitude!

Yang Hao listened to the shouts of these workers at the beginning, and felt very comfortable, beyond imagination!

But later, because there were too many workers, as soon as he came here, almost everyone had to call out such a sentence, Yang Hao also listened to it with a big head, and he had to nod to them politely, almost breaking Yang Hao's head.

Later, under Yang Hao's strong request to almost kneel down for them, when they were fine, they saw that they didn't have to call anymore, unless they had something to find themselves. These refugee workers reluctantly accepted

Yang Hao's request!"Done?"

Seeing Princess Changle put down the brush bill, Yang Hao grinned and asked!

"Where are you busy, it's

just busy."

Princess Changle stretched her waist

and said, "You were just recording the number of paper in and out of production, right?" I said that you are too, this kind of small thing should be left to the people below to do,

so you must not be tired of doing everything yourself!"

Yang Hao said angrily

! "I'm not curious about how much production was on the first day yesterday!

Yang Hao, do you know how many tens of thousands of pieces of paper were produced yesterday

?" Princess Changle asked Yang Hao excitedly!

"Oh, how many?"

Yang Hao can actually guess a rough idea, but seeing that Princess Changle is so excited, he deliberately pretended not to know and asked!"

The ones that I moved out just now were all produced yesterday, and there were 400,000 sheets, which is still the reason why the wooden frame is not enough and the drying room is not big enough, otherwise it is more than that......"

"So I came to you today to discuss this matter with you."

Princess Changle pointed to the paper on the carriage outside, and said excitedly!

"Then you mean, you're going to expand the place

?" As soon as Princess Changle said this, Yang Hao understood what she meant, so she asked

, "Well, yes,

what do you think?"

Yes, now there is an extra paper factory, and the place is indeed too small to accommodate so many people to work."

Yang Hao also discovered this problem when he came over in the past few days, originally Princess Changle didn't say it, he also wanted to talk to Princess Changle!

"Then how many acres of land do you think we need to expand?

Princess Changle looked at Yang Hao and asked,

"Uh...... At least another 200 acres of land, the current 10 acres of land is too small."

After thinking for a while, Yang Hao said

, "Huh,

such a big place?"

Princess Changle asked in surprise!"

Now, there are more than 16,000 people in the two factories combined, and maybe other factories will open or recruit more workers in the future, and I am afraid that 200 acres of land will not be enough in the future."

Yang Hao explained

, "Okay, just listen to you, but we need 200 acres of land all of a sudden,

and I don't know if my father will agree to grant it to us."

Princess Changle said with some worry,

"Hey... Chang'an City is such a big place, only 200 acres of land, Your Majesty will not give it to you, besides, the factory we are opening now has many benefits to Datang, not to mention the royal business, I believe that Your Majesty can see this clearly, so you can rest assured to say it, it really doesn't work, we will buy it directly, an acre of land is only 5 yuan, 200 acres is only 1000 yuan, this money is trivial!".

Yang Hao is not worried that Li Shimin will come down without approval, if Li Shimin can't see through this matter, then he is not the great imperialist leader Comrade Li Er

! Princess Changle thought about it and felt that it was so, so she agreed, and went back to ask Li Shimin for land directly!

"By the way, Yang Hao! Wait a minute, this paper will be pulled to Dongcheng and sold." I also asked my father, at first my father did not agree to me selling it at such a high price, but after the persuasion of me and my mother, I agreed."

Princess Changle asked

, "Yes, I don't have any problems,

I originally said that you can decide for yourself."

Yang Hao said, and felt that the price was just right

!"Well, that's okay, then let's go now!" After

Princess Changle finished speaking, she should go outside first

! An hour later

!

On the streets of Dongcheng and Xicheng, Princess Changle's guards rode to the streets one after another, announcing a blockbuster news.

It is said that the Royal Restaurant is selling paper here, and the price is cheap and very large, only six cents a piece, so the readers who heard the news

and so on, rushed to the Royal Restaurant as soon as possible!

And at this moment, at the entrance of the Royal Restaurant, the so-called overcrowded, there are constantly people in the crowd who want to squeeze to the front, but because of the guards of Princess Changle on the side to maintain order, no one dares to mess around!

"Eh, tell me, is this paper? How can there be paper so white? Have you seen it before?" One

of the people standing at the front pointed to the white paper in front of him, and asked the people around him with a fox!

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, but it does look very similar to yellow rice paper, but it's a lot whiter and bigger!"

Another person who looked like a scholar

said, "I think it should be paper, the guards of Her Royal Highness Princess Changle have already said that it is paper, and they have also said that they are selling white paper, and they have made such a big move, announcing the news everywhere,

it should not be a lie to us."

Another scholar looked at the paper in front of him and said! When

the other people around heard it, they thought it made sense, and they all nodded in agreement with what this person said!

"Hello, Brother Guard, are these really papers? I have never seen such paper before."

A scholar took two steps forward, looked at a guard standing next

to the white paper, and asked, "It's true, if you want to buy white paper, you have to line up first,

and then Her Royal Highness the princess will send someone down to announce the start of sales."

The guard glanced at the other party and replied

, "Eh, okay, thank you for the guard's big brother!" Hearing

the exact answer, the scholar-like person happily thanked

him! On the second floor of the Royal Restaurant, in the special box of Princess Changle, Princess Changle was sitting and chatting with Yang Hao at this moment,

and there was a knock on the door outside the box!

"Come in". Princess Changle spoke!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the news has spread, and now there are many people coming outside, and many people are coming one after another, wanting to buy white paper, may I ask Your Royal Highness Princess, are we going to start selling it now?"

Pay attention to maintaining good order, whoever dares to come in chaos and not queue up to buy, no matter what status, will be arrested directly."

Princess Changle opened her mouth and ordered

, "Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess,

I will go down and make arrangements."

After Captain Xu agreed, he walked out of the box directly!

"Everyone...... If you don't queue up or cut the line, you will be arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department, and if you want to buy it, you should count the money first, a blank piece of paper is six yuan, okay, now start selling!" After

Captain Xu came out, he came to the carriage with the white paper and announced loudly!

"I want ten sheets, this is sixty yuan."

Hearing Captain Xu's words, one of the scholars at the front of the queue hurriedly took out the money he had prepared, handed it to the guards who specialized in collecting

money, and said!

The guard who received the money counted the money, and after finding that the money was enough, he nodded, and immediately another guard counted ten blank pieces of paper and handed them to the scholar!

After the scholar took the white paper, he walked aside, looked at the white paper over and over again, and found that the quality of the paper was really good, so he rolled it up happily and hurried home.

I thought to myself, such a good paper is sold so cheaply, I must hurry back to get more money, and buy more, otherwise if I can't buy it in the future or the price rises, it will be a big loss!

Because most of the people are in a hurry when they come, the money they bring with them will naturally not be much, so the people who bought the paper later, seeing that the paper is really good, most of them have such thoughts, and they have hurried home.

"This captain, I want to buy 20,000 pieces of white paper like this, is there a discount?" A

middle-aged man who looked like a businessman looked at Captain Xu who was standing on the side

, and asked with a smile!

"No, no matter how much you buy here, it's six cents a piece, and there will be no counteroffer."

Captain Xu glanced at him and said directly!

, "Uh...... Well, then give me 20,000 sheets."

The middle-aged man said with some disappointment! I thought I could buy more discounts, but I didn't expect that there was still no discount,

just now he grabbed a person who bought paper, took a closer look at the paper, and found that the quality was indeed better than the previous yellow rice paper, so he immediately had an idea in his heart!

Li Shimin, his eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other important civil officials were discussing matters, and Wang De's father-in-law walked in, saying that Gao Shilian had something to ask to see His Majesty!

Li Shimin immediately said

, "Yes,

Your Majesty." Father-in-law Wang De said yes and withdrew

! After a while, Gao Shilian hurriedly walked in, still holding something in his hand!

"Your Majesty has seen Your Majesty," "Your Majesty,

the Minister has something to report,

look at this ......."

After Gao Shilian saluted, without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, he opened his mouth to speak again, and then spread out the things in his hand and put them on the table beside him.

"Gao Shangshu, what is this?".

Du Ruhan, who was on the side, was the closest, stood up and walked to Gao Shilian's side, looked at the things on the table and asked,

"Haha... Du Fuji, this is paper, white paper, have you ever seen such a

white and beautiful paper?" Gao Shilian saw that everyone was gathered around, touched his beard and smiled

! "What? This is paper?"

Du Ruhui pointed to the white paper on the table and asked incredulously, his voice raised several times!

The others also looked at Gao Shilian, waiting for his answer!

"Hi... It's true, can the old man joke about this kind of thing in front of His Majesty?" Gao

Shilian said with a smile!

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, he also expected it, and when he first saw the blank paper just now, he also reacted like this! Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the exact answer!

I didn't expect there to be such a blank paper!"

"Do you know how much money this white paper sells for when it's a big piece of paper?"

Gao Shilian looked at everyone and said, "Oh, Gao Shangshu, don't sell it, hurry up! How much money is a piece?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Gao Shilian and asked impatiently!

Six cents a piece, how about it? It's incredible, can't you believe

it?" Gao Shilian finished talking about the price, looked at the wide-eyed ministers, and said with a smile!

"Such a big piece of paper is only sold for six cents a piece? Is it not of good quality?"

Seeing

that everyone doubted the quality of the paper, Gao Shilian didn't say much, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone next to him, and began to grind the ink, and after a while, the ink was polished, Gao Shilian picked up the brush and lightly dipped it in ink, and then began to write on the white paper! After writing, Gao Shilian picked up the white paper

, handed it directly to Du Ruhui, and motioned for them to take a look!

Du Ruhui took the paper, turned the white paper over and over again, touched it, and saw that the reverse side would not even penetrate the ink, the thickness and feel of the paper were very good, nodded slightly, and then handed it to the next person to see

! After the others took the paper, it was the same, and after reading the white paper, they all nodded in approval!

Such a good paper is sold so cheaply, Gao Shangshu, tell me quickly, where did you buy this paper?"

Xiao Yu, who was the last to read it, gasped, took the paper in his hand

and looked at Gao Shilian and asked eagerly! Seeing Xiao Yu so eager, the others vaguely knew what he meant, and they all looked at Gao Shilian!

"Ahem...... Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, don't worry! This blank paper was purchased by my second son, Gao Zhixing, at the entrance of the Dongcheng Royal Restaurant, and it is said that there is still a lot of ......."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, retire first."

Before Gao Shilian finished speaking

, Xiao Yu immediately turned to look at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also has something

to go home first, and the minister will also retire first" "Your Majesty, the minister is also ......"

Everyone saw Xiao Yu like this, how could they not understand what he meant, this is to hurry home and get money to buy white paper

! So they all turned to look at Li Shimin and asked to leave first!

What are you doing here? You are not allowed to leave, one by one, they are all ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, as if they have never seen the world, what kind of system have they become!" Li

Shimin, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, had been smiling at the scene just now, and now these ministers all wanted to go home and get money to buy blank paper

At this time, everyone discovered a problem, that is, when Gao Shilian took out the blank paper after he came in, Li Shimin never left his seat, let alone walked down, or said anything

! Everyone was curious, and they couldn't understand why Li Shimin was indifferent when he saw such a good and cheap white paper, and he kept sitting there like Mount Tai!

Li Shimin saw that everyone was looking at him, coughed lightly, touched his beard, and came out to look at everyone with a high-ranking posture, feeling that his time to pretend to be forced had come, and it was time for him to perform!
