Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

[What's so terrible about a low salt yield, what's so terrible about being full of coarse salt.I have the purification method provided by the system, even coarse salt can become refined salt! 】

Immediately, Li You asked Sun Simiao to tell those places.

Then he told Sun Simiao to tell Wang Xuance not to go anywhere these days, but to wait in Lefang.

Li You left Lefang and returned to the palace.

He had just arranged for Jin Yiwei to investigate the places where salt might be produced, and the concierge informed Liu Yijie, the Minister of Taichang Temple, that Mr. Liu would come to visit him.

[Why did Liu Yijie come so soon? Didn't I make an appointment with his housekeeper for two days? 】

For this very business-minded Liu Yijie, Li You was also a little confused about his thoughts.

But Li You didn't bother to think about it anymore, if he came, he would be safe, and when the water came, the soil would cover his troops and come to block him.

Soon, Liu Yijie was brought before him.

"Liu Yijie has met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Li You also stood up and cupped his hands: "Ge Guogong doesn't need to be too polite, let's sit down and talk."

Liu Yijie was the veteran of the Jinyang Army. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of Doctor You Guanglu and Qing Honglu, moved to Taifu Qing, canonized Ge Guogong, and was listed as "Taiyuan Yuanmou Meritorious Officials".

Although the name Liu Yijie was often mentioned in Li You's ears, this was also the first official meeting between the two.

Li You took a sneak peek at him. He looked like a smart man. Although he was named Duke, he didn't show his sharpness. On the contrary, he gave people a very stable feeling.

In Li You's view, this kind of appearance is a natural businessman, and it often cheats you, but you don't even think it.

On the contrary, I still feel that he must have some difficulties and cannot help himself.

However, Liu Yijie assisted two generations of Tang emperors, so loyalty is naturally not a problem.

Li You also didn't want to get too entangled with him, since he had already decided to develop the mansion in Xinglongfang with him, naturally he didn't hide it.

"Duke Ge came here for the Xinglongfang Mansion?"

Liu Yijie was taken aback when he heard this.

"Prince Chu, you said that the Xinglongfang mansion is yours?"

Hearing Liu Yijie's words, Li You was also surprised.

"Didn't I make an appointment with Steward Liu in your house to let you come to see me, and we will develop the Xinglongfang Mansion together?"

It was only at this moment that Liu Yijie suddenly realized, and then burst out laughing.

It wasn't until Li You couldn't hold back that Liu Yijie stopped smiling.

"King Chu, we are really destined!"

"I came to see the prince today, but it really wasn't because of the Xinglongfang mansion."

It turned out that Liu Yijie had been on business at Taichang Temple today, and he went directly to Chu Palace after he was on duty.

But Butler Liu hasn't told him the news yet.

"Then why did Duke Ge come here?"

Apart from the matter of Xinglongfang, Li You didn't think of what Liu Yijie came to him for for a moment.

Liu Yijie smiled again and said, "I took the liberty to come here this time because I wanted to buy paper from the King of Chu."

Liu Yijie was proclaimed Duke Ge, and his wife Mrs. Ge Guo also went to the queen's birthday banquet last night.

After Mrs. Ge Guo went back, she excitedly took out "Health Care During Pregnancy" and explained the queen's wishes.

Liu Yijie had no interest in this matter at first, but after receiving the book, his eyes lit up.

He took a fancy to the paper of the book.

As a member of the imperial court in charge of finance and tribute, this is the first time I have seen such a fine paper Liu Yijie.

Immediately he saw the unlimited business opportunities.

After hearing that the paper for these books came from the papermaking workshop of King Chu, Liu Yijie became restless.

Liu Yijie didn't sleep well last night, and today he was absent-minded in Taichang Temple.

All he could think about were the papers.

So after I got off duty today, I didn't even bother to go home, so I came here directly.

Just to buy some paper.

Hearing Liu Yijie's words, Li You admired his business sense even more.

There were quite a few books sent out last night, and basically every official family in the capital got a copy.

But Liu Yijie was the first one to buy paper when he saw a book.

Li You smiled slightly and said, "How much paper does Duke Ge want? My paper is not cheap."

Liu Yijie did not expect that Li You agreed immediately.

This made Liu Yijie's words of praise that he had prepared for a whole day stuck in his mouth.

And how to answer Li You's question, Liu Yijie hesitated again.

It's really hard to say how much to buy.

Firstly, he didn't know what price Li You said was not cheap, and secondly, he didn't know how productive Li You's workshop was.

"Why, Ge Guogong doesn't want to go back on his word, does he?"

Seeing Liu Yijie hesitate, Li You asked again with a smirk.

"How is it possible, this paper must be bought, but I don't know what the price of King Chu's paper is, and how much is the output?"

After thinking about it, Liu Yijie decided that it would be better to understand clearly.

After all, it is a real money transaction. Even if the other party is the prince, asking this way may annoy the other party, but you still have to be careful.

For Liu Yijie's caution, Li You felt that he should.

But he didn't even tell Li Er about the output of this workshop, so naturally he wouldn't tell Liu Yijie either.

"Ge Guogong, the price of these papers is always the same. As for the output, I will not disclose this aspect."

Although Li You didn't mention the output, the price alone surprised Liu Yijie.

"It's always a knife, Your Highness is not joking with me!"

Looking at Liu Yijie's surprised eyes, Li You nodded and said, "That's the price, why is it still too high? This price can still be negotiated."

Liu Yijie quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not too expensive, this price is very reasonable, very reasonable!"

Li You's price was not high at all, on the contrary, in Liu Yijie's opinion, it was too cheap.

Today's high-quality white paper is basically two in one, and the supply is often in short supply.

From Liu Yijie's point of view, Li You's paper is much better than the ones on the market, even if it is three times and one knife, it must be a big hit.

Unexpectedly, Li You's price was so low.

And according to Li You, if you negotiate the price yourself, there is still room.

Hearing such a low price, Liu Yijie immediately made a decision: "King Chu, if it's all at this price, then I'll set an order of [-] dollars first. I don't know when I can ship it?"

In Liu Yijie's view, slow work produces meticulous work, and the quality of Li You's paper is good, so the output must not be high.

The amount of [-] knives might be enough to keep Li You's workshop busy for more than half a month.

However, Li You smiled slightly, and said in a dispirited manner: "Ten thousand dollars, Duke Ge can take people to buy goods tomorrow."

Liu Yijie immediately understood that there were fewer orders this time.

Just when Liu Yijie was about to increase the amount, Li You said, "Ge Guogong must not just want to buy some paper!"
