Chapter twenty-eight, the Duke, restored

Chapter 28

Fang Xuanling and the others were very excited and knelt down in the small room, while Li Shimin walked over and gently touched the paper with tears in his eyes. It was too difficult.

Li Shimin always wanted to get rid of the influence of the aristocratic families, but without scholars, the court could only be controlled by the aristocratic families. Every year, he would summon officials from the Ministry of Industry to innovate the technology and produce cheap and high-yield paper.

But more than ten years have passed and there is still no movement. Now, there is such cheap paper here and there that can be mass-produced.

"Boping!" Li Shimin stood there and called softly. Qin Huaidao did not go in at all, but made tea there.

"Boping, Your Majesty summoned me!" Cheng Chusi, who was standing at the door, called Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao hurried over and went inside to salute.

"Boping, I thank you on behalf of the poor scholars in the world!" At this moment, Li Shimin walked to Qin Huaidao, helped Qin Huaidao, and then bowed deeply. Qin Huaidao was so scared that he wanted to salute again, but was supported by Li Shimin.

"Boping, paper, you guys, I will do this well. You are not young anymore. It's time to share the work for me!" After Li Shimin finished speaking to Qin Huaidao, he looked at Li Zhi and started talking.

"Yes, please rest assured, my son must do his best to do this!" Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin went over and patted his hand gently, very satisfied. If it weren't for Li Zhi today, he wouldn't have known this paper.

"Let's go outside and talk while having tea!" Li Shimin said as he pulled Li Zhi with one hand and Qin Huai with the other.

Qin Huaidao was about to walk to the tea-making position, but Li Shimin immediately grabbed it: "I'm here, Boping, you can try my skills too!"

"Ah, yes, thank you Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao heard this and said sorry. Li Shimin sat in the tea-making position and ordered them to sit down.

"I, I will allocate 20,000 guan to you. Boping, you are the head of the paper mill. Well, the level is determined to be from the fourth rank! OK?" Li Shimin asked as he was making tea there.

"It depends on your Majesty's order!" Qin Huaidao stood up and bowed and clasped his fists.

"Tell me, if you want to produce, how much can you produce in a month?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said, there is no problem with the price, and the next step is the output.

"Your Majesty, how much do you want?" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and asked.

"How much do I want? Can I produce as much as I want?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huai in surprise.

"That's right, you can produce as much as you want, your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then I, well, Fang Aiqing, how much do you think we need?" Li Shimin was very excited, but he didn't know how much he needed, so he turned his head and looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Well, give as much as possible, but it would be great if there were 100,000 copies per day!" Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while and said to Li Shimin and the others.

"That's going to take 30 big pits. The pit in my mansion can be produced once a month, and it's 50,000 pieces at a time. All big pits are made once a month.

However, considering that winter is not possible, we need to increase it to 60 big pits, which can ensure that 100,000 of these big papers can be found every day. If they are released as the size of rice paper, then it will be 2 million pieces!" Qin Huaidao calculated carefully and reported to Li Shimin.

"2 million? Every day?" Li Shimin and the ministers widened their eyes and asked at Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, if you need more, we can still produce it, increasing it to 1 million large sheets of paper every day, and 20 million sheets of paper the size of rice paper!" Qin Huaidao nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, okay! Come on, please!" Li Shimin heard it and couldn't help but shout ok, then brought the teacup to the mat in front of Qin Huaidao and said a request.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao said while clasping his fists.

"Well, that's it, then you'll have 200,000 pieces of paper every day!" Li Shimin made up his mind and said.

"Then our daily profit is 200 guan! Your Majesty, you get 100 guan, and our companies get 100 guan!

In a year, Your Majesty, you can get more than 30,000 guan, and my family will get more than 30,000 guan!" Qin Huaidao then said, calculating the profit for Li Shimin.

"Ha! Alas! Boping, why didn't you be born ten years earlier?" Li Shimin said with a wry smile.

"This?" Qin Huaidao heard it and didn't understand it.

"The court needs to pay more than 30,000 guan for rice paper every year, and the output is very low. Now you still let Your Majesty earn 30,000 guan, and you still have as much as you want. Your Majesty thinks of this, it's uncomfortable!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile as he looked at Qin Huaidao, and the other ministers also smiled bitterly.

"I, I'm happy tonight, I'll decide that. You can choose the place yourself. I'll give it to you. At the same time, I will allocate 20,000 dan to you. I don't care how this money is spent.

If you can make so much paper and the money has not been spent, then you guys will be divided. I just want paper, you can do it well!" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huai and said, "Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and the others."

"This is not right?" Yuchi Jingde heard it and felt something was wrong.

"There's nothing wrong. I've made you earn this money. By the way, when are you going to start doing it?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"We have to hurry up. By the way, we will harvest wheat soon. I need to buy a lot of straw. This requires a venue.

Moreover, it is only 5 months before the icing is frozen. The first month cannot be produced. The real production time is less than 4 months, so we need to hurry up.

If Your Majesty, you want us to get it out quickly, then tomorrow, I want to summon Brother Cheng Chusi and Brother Yuchi Baolin,

Oh, yes, there are Brother Weishan, Brother Li Dejian, Brother Fang Yizhi, Brother Liu Rensi, Brother Duan Zan, Brother Zhang Shenzheng, etc. After discussing together at home, I need to choose a location and then recruit people to work. I can't delay this?

By the way, Your Majesty, uncles, I want to do this with these brothers, so you don’t care. Is it okay? Leave it to us, don’t worry!" Qin Huaidao said as he bowed to the elders.

"Boping, you have forgotten to call someone, the family of Li Xiaogong, the King of Hejian!" Yuchi Jingde sat there and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, yes, he didn't come here today!" Qin Huaidao thought about it, patted his head and said.

"Well, add the King of Hejian! Then you guys do it, let's not care. This is better, let them mess around!" Li Shimin immediately set the tone.

"Thank you Your Majesty (Father)" Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chusi, Li Zhi and the other three stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Okay, let's not talk about this paper mill anymore. Let's sit here and talk about you Boping. Your personality is too quiet, not good!" Li Shimin continued to look at Qin Huaidao and said.

"I also know, but it is because I am worried at home. In fact, I want to be naughty! But, I have no choice but to do it? If I make a mistake, no one will protect me!" Qin Huaidao said with a wry smile at Li Shimin.

"No need to protect anyone. You are the Duke of the State. Who else should you protect? Go out for a walk more, but don't make mistakes. Go out to play more with Cheng Chusi and the others, but don't participate in their fights!" Li Shimin pointed at Qin Huaidao with a smile, and Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile.

"Besides, with me and such uncles protect you, what are you afraid of, what should you do, don't hide at home so quietly!" Li Shimin continued to say to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, I will be arrogant. I will be afraid of myself!" Qin Huaidao immediately said with a smile.

"Ah, you are so arrogant? You are so scared?" When Li Shimin heard this, he said something novel. He is so arrogant that he is so scared. How arrogant is that?

"Hehe!" Qin Huaidao smiled.

"Okay, get up, I want to see how arrogant you can be!" Li Shimin still told Qin Huai. Since he didn't want him to sit quietly at home, he needed to go out and walk around and make some mistakes. For Li Shimin, that was not a problem, as long as he did not rebel, it would be done.

Then, Li Shimin and Qin Huaidao and the others were chatting in the study. After about half an hour, Li Shimin was about to go back. Because it was too late, the palace gate was about to close, and Qin Huaidao also sent them to the gate.

"Young Master, is it a good thing?" The butler was a little excited when he saw that all the people had left, and looked at Qin Huai with high expectations.

"Duke, you are going to recover!" Qin Huaidao turned around and looked at the butler with a smile.

"This, this, this?" The butler heard it now, and everyone was stunned. The young master did nothing, so why did he restore the Duke to his country?

"Go back, get up early tomorrow morning and prepare some items. Your Majesty said that tomorrow morning, officials from the province of the Ministry will come to announce the order!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile on the butler's shoulder.

"Hey, hey, old slave, old slave, wuwu, old slave, old slave, I must be ready, wuwuwu~" The butler was already shrugging his shoulders and sobbing, excited.

"Butler, thank you for so many years!" Qin Huaidao gently patted the butler's shoulder.

"No, no, no, no, no, I hope you can be well, no, no, as long as the young master is good, I will be willing to die of exhaustion!" The butler said in tears,
