Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

The queen is sitting in the palace.

Eunuch Gao walked in from the outside.

"Meet the Empress."

Seeing Eunuch Gao coming, the Empress smiled and said, "Why do you come to this palace to walk around when you have time? Doesn't the Emperor need to serve you?"

Eunuch Gao laughed and said: "If you go back to your mother, the emperor is looking at the account book in the imperial study."

The queen laughed and said: "The emperor is really misleading, and has become a money fan."

Needless to say, he must be looking at the ledger and counting money in the imperial study.

Eunuch Gao smiled.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor asked me to bring some good things over here."

As he spoke, the little eunuch behind him knelt on the ground and held up a plate over his head.

Above are eight rolls of paper.

The queen picked up a roll of paper and asked, "Eunuch, what is this? Is it a new type of paper?"

It is soft to the touch, which is different from the paper used for writing on the market.

She tried Su Yu's new paper, and it worked very well.

She is writing "Women's Rules" and plans to show it to Su Yu when it is finished.

When Su Yu first met, he said that Empress Changsun wrote "Nv Ze" and passed it down to future generations.

After all these years, I finally finished the draft and started writing.

"If you go back to your mother, it was sent by the emperor."

"It is said to be a new product, specially used for toilet use."

Eunuch Gao replied.

The queen was surprised: "Paper is so expensive, how can it be?"

That's right, the current price has been lowered by Su Yu.

In the past, anyone who dared to wipe their ass with paper would definitely be scolded to death by scholars.

Now the price of paper has come down.

The queen pulled a few sheets, kneaded them, and they were very soft.

Yes, it must be very comfortable to use this.

"Put it here, let the emperor stop counting money in the imperial study, and be careful not to hurt yourself."

said the Queen.

"Understood, I must tell the emperor."

Eunuch Gao withdrew from the Lizheng Palace.

At this time, the queen lived in the Lizheng Hall.

After the people left, the queen couldn't wait to pick up a roll of paper and got up, and Mo Yu waited on her.

Back to the royal study,
Li Shimin is discussing matters with Du Ruhui.

"Your Majesty, last time we said that Su Yu's price is too low, and selling paper is not profitable."

"Now it seems like a big mistake."

"This paper is of good quality and cheap. The merchant who sold rattan paper in the past went bankrupt."

"Now the entire Guanzhong area, as well as Luoyang, is dominated by this kind of paper."

"It is estimated that in half a year, as long as the supply of paper is large enough, it will definitely be able to monopolize Datang's paper market."

Du Ruhui exclaimed.

Li Shimin put down the ledger and said in surprise, "This kid, that's what he planned from the beginning."

"The low price drove other merchants out of business, and then his family sold paper."

Where did this Su Yu get so many bad ideas?

"Your Majesty, I guess this is the case."

"We can't keep up with Mr. Su's ideas."

Du Ruhui shook his head and sighed.

Li Shimin laughed suddenly: "It's okay, anyway, I have a share, and now I am making money every day, not just fighting for money, not just."

He picked up the ledger again and laughed.

"By the way, last time I said to find a way to let Su Yu go to the south of the Yangtze River, how did you go?"

Li Shimin asked.

Du Ruhui replied: "Weichen has some clues, but it's still not close."

"Well, hurry up. Try to let Su Yu go to the south of the Yangtze River next year."

Li Shimin said.

"The minister obeys the order."

Du Ruhui took the order.

While the two were talking, Eunuch Gao came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng Guogong and Mr. Wei are here."

Wei Zheng?

What is he doing here?
In the past, every time Wei Zheng came, Li Shimin's scalp would tingle.

Ever since I met Su Yu, I knew that he was behind the scenes, this Tian She Weng was very well-behaved.

No matter what Li Shimin said, he shouted "The emperor is holy".

"Xuan."

Li Shimin sat down.

Wei Zheng came in from outside the city.

"My minister pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor's sage."

Wei Zheng flicked his sleeves and danced, pretending to be serious.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Duke Zheng has not given a memorial recently about my gains and losses. Could it be that I have made no mistakes?"

Wei Zheng said: "Your majesty is wise and powerful, unprecedented in eternity, so why is there any mistake?"

But I thought in my heart: You have Su Yu behind you to guide the country, how could you make mistakes.I am not a fool, and I will never fall into the pit again.

Li Shimin also thought in his heart: This Tian She Weng has learned his lesson.

"Come on, no need for flattery. What's the matter?"

Li Shimin asked.

Wei Zheng would not enter the palace if he had nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, paper is very cheap in the market."

"But those books are still too expensive, and the quality of printing can't always be improved."

"There are more and more people reading books, and it is difficult to keep up with the books."

"Besides, the books Su Yu gave have many symbols that cannot be printed."

Wei Zheng said.

There are many symbols given by Su Yu, and Datang's printing technology can't handle them.

If it is to be made by a craftsman, the engraving is too expensive.

The books made can't be bought.

This made Wei Zheng very embarrassed.

Li Shimin said: "This matter is simple, since the book came from Su Yu."

"Then he must have a way of printing."

Wei Zheng suddenly woke up.

That's right, since the book came from Su Yu.

Then he must have a way to print.

Such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it.

"The emperor is wise, wise and mighty, long live long live."

Wei Zheng bowed again.

Li Shimin got goosebumps when he heard it.

"That's all right, all right, it's not as comfortable as saying that I'm a faint king."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

After the matter was finished, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng left the imperial study together.

to the outside.

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Duke Zheng, you always don't give advice to the emperor, the emperor is not used to it."

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Cai Guogong, don't make fun of this old man. Everything is discussed with Su Yu. I'm not that stupid, and I still go to offer opinions."

The two laughed loudly and left the palace.

Time flies, and several months have passed.

Shangguan Yun's stomach is getting bigger and bigger every day in the imperial concubine's palace.

Su Yu buys a wedding room for Lao Chen in Zhuangzi.

In Chang'an City, the Queen set up a grain store.

After calculating the auspicious day, Lao Chen came to meet the bride.

Su Yu was waiting at the door.

Li Shimin, the queen, and Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui personally sent their relatives to Sujiazhuang.

Lao Chen rode Jueying, dressed in festive red.

When the bride entered Zhuangzi, firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared, crowds of people, and red flags waving.
When the firecrackers started to go off, Li Shimin was taken aback.

"Brother, why is there a thunderbolt from the blue sky? Could it be that the time is wrong?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "That's the firecrackers I made, and they were set off when we got married."

"I, Su Yu, chose a day, how could it be unlucky?"

Shangguan Yun held a round fan to cover his face, supported by the emperor and empress.

Changle and Xiao Sizi became bridesmaids and followed behind.

Sujiazhuang set up more than 1000 tables of banquets.

After the lively wedding, Shangguan Yun was sent to the bridal chamber.

Under the red candle, Shangguan Yun felt a little dazed.

As a warrior himself, his family members died in war disasters.

I thought I would just marry a man from a decent family and spend my whole life, but I didn't expect to marry into Sujiazhuang.

The emperor and the queen sent off their relatives, and the princess was a bridesmaid.

It's like dreaming.

Old Chen opened the door and came in, Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "Are you not drunk?"

"Alcohol does not intoxicate people, beauty intoxicates me."

Old Chen laughed.

Shangguan Yun laughed and said, "I thought you would talk like this even if you don't study."

Old Chen laughed and said, "I'm not hiding it from you, the young master taught me."

"I knew you wouldn't."

Shangguan Yun changed Lao Chen's clothes.

At the door, a dense group of people were going to make a bridal chamber.

But Su Yu hated vulgar bridal chambers the most, and blocked the door and refused to let them in.

"My dear brother, we are going to have a bridal chamber."

Li Shimin took the lead.

A bunch of people behind.

Su Yu took out a pile of checks from her arms.

"A check for the depository, a piece of one thousand copper coins, follow me if you want it."

Su Yu walked all the way and led them out of the bridal chamber.

A piece of one thousand guan, Li Shimin's heart was moved, and he picked up the money.
