Chapter 19 Planning and Layout First Meet Helan (2) (")

Bi'er's surname is Jiang, but the names of close palace maids in the palace are nicknamed, such as Bi'er Tuaner Luo'er. Her grandfather was a minor official in Chang'an City, and she was considered a good family, otherwise she would not have been selected into the palace. But she fell into the hands of her father.

Two brothers were named Jiang Wenquan and Jiang Wenchen. Because of the poor family, one was 28 and the other was 22 years old. It was not until the first month of this year that they barely raised some money to buy two women who were the victims as their wives. They usually work in the workshops in Dongshi City to make a living.

Under Bier's leadership, the group entered the alley of Dongshi. All the shops along the streets of Dongshi were very glamorous, but there were workshops inside, which were very dirty and messy. Li Xian kept shaking his fans and forcibly endured it. Li Xian, Li Xulun and Li Lingyue had already covered their noses.

After finding the workshop and calling out the brother, the eldest brother Jiang Wenquan asked in surprise: "Bi'er, why have you left the palace?"

Bier whispered, "It's the prince."

Only then did Jiang Wenquan see a group of people behind her, and he didn't know which one was the prince. He was so anxious that he wanted to kneel down. Li Wei stepped forward and held him in his arms and said, "We came from casual clothes, don't disturb others."

"Here," responded, and Li Wei looked at it. The two brothers were probably malnourished and were very thin. He gave Bier a wink, and Bier found her outfit and said, "I'll take a leave for the two brothers."

The clothes were very unhappy. Suddenly, they saw a group of people behind. The Jiang brothers were very uneasy wherever they stood. They suddenly remembered the identities of the sisters in the two brothers' families. They were shocked. They reacted and immediately smiled, nodded and said, "Young lady's life, I dare not obey."

Watching them leave, a craftsman complained: "Liu Xingtou, he lives so tightly, in broad daylight, why did you put them back?"

"I know what, do you see? The clothes and dresses of the people behind me are very likely to be in there."

"Prince?"

"Yes, the daughter of the Jiang family is serving the prince in the East Palace. When she heard that her mother was seriously ill, the prince even took out some money to provide relief. The Jiang family is about to reach the top of the sky." Liu Xingtou murmured.

Follow the brothers of the Jiang family, through the Nanfang Gate of Dongshi, and arrive at Shengpingfang. It is a small plateau, the highest place in Chang'an City, and there is a fun park. Every time it is March and September, the ladies in Chang'an City like to come here to climb high and enjoy. However, the Jiang family is in a slum in the northeast corner.

Rows of houses of varying heights are mostly two-story small lofts, crowded together. There are piles of stinky rubbish at the entrance of the alley.

Jiang Wenquan said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, our place is too simple."

"It's okay, second, third, fourth, and younger sister, you guys stay here first. I'll go to the Jiang family to take a look and come back." After saying that, Li Wei was secretly happy. He didn't expect that this environment would become his best excuse for him to send him off.

This time, even Li Lingyue nodded and didn't dare to go in!

When he walked to the Jiang family, a thin old woman was pouring water on her. When she saw her daughter coming back, she said in surprise: "Bi'er, why are you home?"

"Mother, it's the prince," Bier walked over, poured water into the gutter for her, and then said softly.

"Prince," the woman was so anxious that she didn't know where to put her hands, she just rubbed her hands.

He asked Bier to cover his mouth and pull it into the house. Li Wei also followed him in. The room was very simple. Bier's father and two sisters-in-law didn't know where they were, so he probably went somewhere to work to support the family.

Bier's mother wanted to bow down and let Li Wei hold it with her hands. In his heart, Bier had already regarded her as one of the indispensable women in the future, and she was also her mother-in-law, which was not very good.

He touched his nose and said, "You all sit down."

I thought to myself, it made me look like my master.

Let the guards go out and leave Liu Qun, Li Wei said: "Bi'er, you have also seen that there are many victims in the city."

"Well, but Your Highness, there are too many victims. Even if you move out the East Palace property together, you can't save it."

"I am talking about this matter. Not only can I not save it, but if the drought continues, even the finances in the treasury will be tight, and the expenditures of the Eastern Palace will definitely be reduced." From this point of view, I still admire my cheap parents. If Emperor Yang of Sui, he would ignore the lives and death of the people and then send troops to Tuyuhun. In addition, the country would have to collapse and resolve the disasters and disasters that have been rare in history over the past few years. It is not easy.

"But I can't bear to see the situation of the victims."

"But, Prince, even if you have rectified the inner palace, the inner palace will not be able to provide much money."

"So, I called my two brothers to discuss something."

"Crown Prince, don't you take it as well." The brothers of the Jiang family turned pale because of their fear. Their brothers who are qualified to be the prince.

"You don't have to be afraid of your two brothers. I treat Bier as a relative in the palace."

"Thank you, Prince," Mrs. Jiang's movement was very fast this time. Li Wei had not reacted yet and had already kneeled down, but his face was filled with joy. What does Li Wei's words mean!

Li Wei was also dizzy. Why didn’t this be the Qing Dynasty? He knelt down at any time. He helped her up again and continued, "Do you still know that milk candy?"

Bier and Liu Qun nodded at the same time. These days, because the little princess was greedy, she had made milk candy three times.

"I want to bring it to market."

"But……"

"Bi'er, Gu knows what you want. Of course Gu knows that even officials prohibit business, and Gu himself. So Gu cannot come forward and use the help of his two brothers. Of course, Gu will allocate some of the income from it and divide it into the names of the two brothers. This is just the beginning. Gu does not have the right to give your family a great fortune, but he can use this method to make your family live a well-off and prosperous life."

"Thank you, the prince." Bier said happily. Xiaokang and Fuyu don't know, but being able to help the prince is equivalent to bringing the family closer to the prince. Liu Qun was very envious. Li Wei saw her expression and said, "I asked you last night that there is a brother in your family. Come and help."

Most of the palace maids in the inner palace came from Chang'an City. But this person is not very popular. After all, it was not very large at the beginning, and he was also responsible for the title of a low-key businessman. Therefore, last night, I interrogated the approximate situation of several "trustworthy" palace maids' families. However, Liu Qun's family was suitable for the situation, and he was also in poverty. Therefore, he pleased Li Wei that day and informed him of the news. There was an older brother in the family who knew a few words. This was a helper. Because of Bier's relationship, the Jiang brothers were very suitable, but they were illiterate, which was ultimately a flaw.

Liu Qun also thanked him excitedly.

But the production method of the East Palace was not good. Li Wei took out a piece of paper and wrote a large-scale production procedure and crystal sugar-synthetic refining method. However, Li Wei was still suspicious of the quality of the crystal sugar-synthetic refining. First, there was no relevant machinery, and second, he himself was not very expert, and only knew the approximate process. The most important thing was that there was no mass-produced sucrose.

If you want to have good sugar, you must reach the source, because the season is suitable, and there are many things involved, Li Wei can only sigh.

In fact, the more I know, this helplessness has come into my heart. The position of the prince is better than to wear it on a civilian. I don’t know much, but I can make a fortune and will not be hindered everywhere like this. Look at how wonderful that Yulangjun is, he actually remembered the idea of ​​playing with a foreign girl.

He handed the paper to Liu Qun and said, "In the future, Gu will arrange some excuses to let you leave the palace. You will cooperate with the two brothers of the Jiang family and your brother to do this for Gu."

"Here," Liu Qun felt like he was reaching the sky in one step.

"There is another thing, you can do it for the orphans."

"Please give me instructions."

"papermaking."

All of them were shocked, and Li Wei said again: "If a new paper is successful, it will reduce the cost of paper ten times."

The history of bamboo paper has been confused. Just now, Li Wei went to the large-scale paper shop to see if there is one, and it may appear, but his skills are immature, and even this possibility is very small. There are more than 70 good bamboo papers, and Li Wei is also not clear. Fortunately, he read "The Book of Things in Heaven". He could still make bamboo paper in Ming Dynasty. He first soaked tender bamboo for a hundred days, washed the thick shell and green skin, applied lime juice to pulp and boiled **day, decomposed bamboo fibers and pounded the pulp, slurry into the curtain, covered the curtain and pressed the paper, and cultivated it through the fire.

There must be flaws, but after all, it was a mature craft in the Ming Dynasty. I think it would be no worse than the current paper at least. Besides, the biggest advantage is cheaper.

There is bamboo on Mount Zhongnan, but it is best to be bamboo from Fujian and Zhejiang. Li Wei is not greedy for this bamboo paper, and he gave it to his mother for his contribution. Once the cost of paper drops, it means that more people can use paper, read and write, and Wang Hua will be popularized quickly, which will have an impact on his parents. Li Wei also has no estimates, but he knows how much it will save the mother's current embarrassment and add a lot of justice.

This merit is too great. If it is exclusive, it may not be impossible. It is just that I am the prince. Once the bamboo paper is released, it will cause a great sensation. If you check it carefully, you will find that you have a lot of relationships with you. Even if your parents don’t care about it, there are too many people offended, how many papermaking industries are there in the country, what kind of background is behind it, and how many censors will be motivated? Li Wei cannot afford this consequence. And doing this means that you have selfish intentions, and your parents really don’t care about it?

It’s better to give the court a headache.

Of course, if possible, the Jiang brothers can also expand this workshop.

Or do you have another movable type printing technique? After thinking about it, I cut off this idea and putting too many out of it all at once, which undoubtedly proves that I am "not doing my job properly" and will become the carpenter emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Instead, it is a slight increase.

Bier and Liu Qun are not stupid. They will save ten times the cost when they hear it, and they also know the meaning of it.

Li Wei gave another explanation, and then said solemnly: "No matter what, the craftsmanship must not be spread."

Several people nodded, and then Li Wei took out the silk and said goodbye to the Jiang family's mother and son thanked each other.

At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and the lush trees on the Leyou Garden on the high slopes turned green, shining in the soft evening sun, shrouded in a halo. However, the weather was dry, and the air was filled with some dust, a little gray.

After looking at the sky, Li Wei said to Li Xian and the others: "You guys go back."

The eldest brother is going to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so it is naturally difficult to follow him, but Li Lingyue is still making a ignorant little tail.

However, Yang's mansion was in Changshoufang, south of the west city. Fortunately, there was a street, one in the south and the other in the north, and the carriage didn't last long before it arrived.

Yang Sijian and his wife had been waiting for him for a long time. When they saw him coming, they immediately met the gate. However, Yang Min was shy and hid at home and did not come out. After greeting him, she immediately treated him warmly and poured tea and handed him water. Mrs. Yang was also looking at Li Wei carefully. Her face was pale and thin, but she was pretty and pretty, with a slightly bloody face that was not as unbearable as she imagined. With Li Wei's gentle personality, she was very happy.

I sat down and talked. Until now, Li Wei was not as conscious as the prince. He spoke very casually. The more he talked, the happier he was.

Just as he was about to have a meal, suddenly the servant came in outside and reported: "Duke Zhou to pay homage."

Li Wei frowned. He only heard of his name and had never seen him. But through all the things that Bier said, this person was not very friendly to him. It had nothing to do with him, and this person was the only descendant of his mother's relatives. He didn't know what happened later. His mother executed him, but he didn't need to get into evil with this person. So he watched the change.

A clear laughter came, and he spoke to Yang Chengyou, obviously walking around often. It was not surprising that the two families were relatives, so it was normal to walk around. Li Lingyue stood up from his first place, greeted him, and shouted loudly: "Cousin."

"Oh, little princess, come and let me hug you." After saying that, a young man with a handsome face and a pretty face, and even more beautiful than a woman, walked in with Li Lingyue in his arms.

Seeing Li Wei, he put Li Lingyue down in surprise and said, "Uncle, your family has come to visit. Isn't this the Prince Shiyu?"

Li Wei’s gentle personality does not mean that he is weak. He has come to the door, but he is not anxious. He sits there and slowly said: “Who is talking to the orphan? Could it be that Duke Zhou who is still recruiting prostitutes and having fun during the mourning period?”

His poems will at most cause some controversy, just like Cui Rong's comments on him. However, since the Han Dynasty, he has always attached great importance to filial piety and recruiting prostitutes to have fun. Many people even think it is a matter of elegance, but recruiting prostitutes to have fun during mourning is unfilial. If this crime is added, the person's morality will be extremely corrupt.
