Chapter 1330 Taxes and Fees
After Zhong Xingxiao heard about it, his legs were going to be weak. First, his younger sister, the Empress Dowager Yan, betrayed the allies and gave them the excuse of the Great Zhou Chen Bing Yan State's border, and then finally thought that the people and soldiers of the world were gambling on the country... Temporarily stabilized Da Zhou, and his guards assassinated the important officials of Da Zhou's court. This is to send the knife that killed Yan to Da Zhou!
A hundred years later, the Zhong family brothers and sisters are afraid that they will be drowned by spit stars, and the Zhong family will no longer be able to hold their heads up.
Zhong Xingxiao, who fell down on the chair, only trembled in his heart. After thinking about it, he felt that he still felt sorry for why the Zhong family couldn't hold his head up. He should first feel sorry for himself if he couldn't live.
Just when Zhong Xingxiao felt sorry for himself, another news came that Zhong Xingxiao's guards in the prison confessed within half an hour in Lu Jin's hands, saying that Zhong Xingxiao ordered him to assassinate this Liu Rushi, because he knew that Liu Rushi was a famous talker of the Great Zhou, wanted to get rid of this stumbling block before the peace talks, and must promote the gambling between the two countries.
Zhong Xingxiao immediately fell back on the chair, shouting in his heart that it was over, and tremblingly picked up his pen to arrange the funeral.
At the same time, Lu Jin changed out of his blood-stained clothes, put on his official uniform, and entered the palace to return Bai Qingyan.
"He is a tough guy with a tough mouth. The first time I saw that man, I knew that he was a ruthless man. He should be tortured in the end and he wouldn't spit out anything. I didn't expect that he would let go in the end." Lu Jin stood in the middle of the hall. , frowned and said to Bai Qing earnestly, "This matter is always weird to me, but I still sent someone to deliver a letter to Mr. Zhong."
During these days, the people guarding Zhong Xingxiao's gate and not allowing outsiders to see them were Lu Jin's people. Naturally, Lu Jin knew how restless this uncle of the Yan Kingdom was.
This queen mother of Yan country made their town king almost unable to come back in Yunjing. Lu Jin couldn't toss her queen mother of Yan country, and couldn't he toss and toss the brother of the queen mother who was sent to the door? Naturally, someone had to send a message to Zhong Xingxiao, saying that the assassin admitted that Zhong Xingxiao was going to assassinate Liu Rushi. If this uncle Guo was scared to death, it would have nothing to do with Da Zhou.
Bai Qingyan looked at the confession sent by Lu Jin, tapped his fingers on the case table, and looked up at Lu Jin for a while: "This assassin...bring it here, I will see it in person."
Saying that, Bai Qingyan looked at Wei Zhong again: "Go and invite the Ninth Prince of Yan to meet this Yan Kingdom guard together, it means that our Da Zhou has not wronged their Yan Kingdom."
"Yes!" Wei Zhong put the teacup in front of Bai Qingyan and said again, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been summoned by His Majesty, and has been waiting outside for a long time."
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Please come in..."
It was Bai Qingyan who asked Shen Tianzhi to come over. This time, Bai Jintong delivered three letters one after another.
The first letter contained Wang Hanbing's background in the envoys of Yan State.
In the second letter are the personalities, family backgrounds and weaknesses of these officials in the mission.
The third letter sent back turned out to be a secret talisman letter. It seemed to be an extremely ordinary letter from home, but after putting the letter paper into the potion, the secret talisman would appear. wrote something.
At the same time, a letter from Bai Qingyun from Yecheng Pass also arrived, and the content of Bai Qingyun's letter was the papermaking method written in Bai Jintong's third letter.
Bai Qingyan counted the time, and knew that Bai Jintong's letter was very tortuous when it was sent back. She must have sent the letter to Bai Qingyun and her at the same time. Bai Jintong's letter didn't arrive until it was mailed back. It can be seen that Bai Jintong is probably under surveillance by Murong Li in Yan Country now.
In the third family letter, Bai Jintong said... Now that she has firmly established herself in the Kingdom of Yan, she uses this method of making paper, and she has greatly reduced the cost of paper. Before, paper could only be used by royal family members and officials. Use, now... Ordinary people who read books and rich people can also use paper.
Because of paper... Cui's firm was established in the country of Yan at once. Bai Jintong was smart. He didn't blindly lower the price of paper. The method is more complicated, Bai Jinse said it was taught by Bai Qingyun.
The most expensive paper in Cui's firm is called the Four Gentlemen in Paper, and it is called Gentleman Paper.
Gentleman paper has a delicate fragrance, including the fragrance of plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum and orchid. If this kind of paper is matched with Cui's special ink of plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum and orchid, the fragrance can last for a long time. He is not scattered, so he is very popular among Yan Guoxuan, scholars, and daughters of the back house.
In the country of Yan, Xungui even bought plum fragrant paper with blue ink, which can make the paintings emit a special fragrance.
Recently, Cui's firm's paper, which is more expensive than gold, is often sold out, and the pre-orders will even be in short supply until next year.
And the reason why Bai Jintong wrote this letter was because she, a lowly businessman, was summoned by Emperor Murong Li of the Yan Kingdom. During the conversation, she felt that this Murong Li was by no means as rumored outside. I feel that Murong Li is very big-minded, he doesn't seem like a mediocre person, so let my eldest sister be careful.
She also said that Murong Li did not tell Bai Jinse in detail, but only asked questions about papermaking, but she did not force "Cui Fengnian" to hand over the papermaking recipe, but only asked "Cui Fengnian" as a joke. A native of Yan, after she refused, Murong Li had someone let her out of the palace.
But within a few days, the second prince Murong Ping approached her, saying that he wanted to give Cui Fengnian a chance to be rich, that he would try to promote paper within the Yan Kingdom, and also try to exempt Cui Fengnian from taxes.
But there is only one requirement, Cui Fengnian must make paper in Yan State, and Cui Fengnian is not allowed to sell paper to Dazhou without permission, because he plans to open a shop selling paper in Dazhou, under the name of Cui's firm, naturally in the future ... All the paper he sells at the paper shop in Dazhou will be taken from Cui Fengnian.
During this period, the people of "Cui Fengnian" could not leave the country of Yan. The second prince Murong Ping said... This is an opportunity for everyone to make a fortune together. Get some silver.
Cui Fengnian is a businessman looking for profit, and he is also looking for profit. It should hit it off, and he wants to cooperate with Cui Fengnian more, so he gave Cui Fengnian benefits in Yan State, and asked Cui Fengnian to give him the benefits in Da Zhou, mutual benefit and mutual benefit.
In order to test the second prince, Bai Jintong told the second prince Murong Ping about Murong Li summoning him to ask for the paper.
The third update is here, sorry for the delay! Refill ancestors!
