78, congratulations
Later, papermaking took a step further and various fine papers appeared.
Large-scale papermaking workshops have also been developed.
But for Liu Rong, the conditions are not yet ripe.
At present, we can only consider other samples in the form of handicraft workshops before we can make white paper samples.
Large-scale white paper production workshops can only be placed outside the palace, preferably on his own fiefdom.
This is conducive to confidentiality and production, and does not require taxes to the court.
After checking the pulp ball of bamboo pulp that had been pulp-shaped, Liu Rong ordered: "Continue to pulp-pulp with force!"
Then he called the eunuch in charge of the meal in the palace and ordered in front of the three craftsmen: "Add a meal tonight, and the wine and meat will be full."
He threw a small piece of golden cake over, and the eunuch immediately agreed with a smile.
The eldest son of the emperor seemed to have become completely different. He was not only loved by the emperor, but also very generous to the people below.
So, recently, some people in the palace always like to come here for a walk if they have something to do.
First, you can get a familiar face, and second, you can get some benefits occasionally.
...
Weiyang Palace.
After processing today's memorial, Liu Qi walked a few steps in the study.
I always feel a little uncomfortable, as if I am missing something.
After thinking about it, he called the eunuch who was serving him next to him and asked, "Why haven't that kid been moving these two days?"
Although the emperor did not name his name, the prince knew who the emperor was talking about. He sighed in secret that the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong was deeply loved by the emperor, and smiled on his face:
"I heard from the palace that the Lord Highness has not left the door these days, and it seems that he is tinkering with something?"
Speaking of this, he carefully observed the emperor's expression, saw the listening movements of his ears, and then continued to speak knowingly.
"A passerby said that he often smelled a stench from the palace of His Highness, and he didn't know..."
"The bastard, I've only been serious for two days, and now I'm itchy again."
Liu Qi showed an angry look on his face, and he snorted heavily, then ordered: "Let's go, I want to see what this kid is doing!"
I obviously missed my son, but I insisted on finding an excuse to visit me before I could go there.
Eunuch Wang took all this and thought to himself that it was not easy for His Majesty the Emperor!
This does not mean that the royal family has no affection, but that kings of all dynasties have paid attention to a favor to their grandsons but not to their sons.
Even if Liu Qi has a preference for his eldest son, he will not easily reveal it.
...
When Liu Qi walked into Hengde Hall, Liu Rong was testing the concentration of bamboo pulp by himself.
There is no way, except him, others don’t understand this job at all.
Even he was just talking on paper and had never had practical experience.
So, he could only explain to the three of them while exploring.
When the first batch of white paper is made, it will be much smoother in the future.
"Bastard, Liu Rong, what are you doing? Do you still look like a prince?"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Liu Qi was so angry that he was furious.
I won’t talk about the stench in the room, but as a prince, he does the work of a craftsman.
If this matter is spread, it will not attract criticism from court officials.
Liu Rong was startled when he heard the cheap father's voice, but he quickly reacted and went forward to salute and said, "In a few days, it will be the birthday of his father. I am preparing gifts for his father."
As soon as these words were spoken, they attracted a reverent look around them.
He works as a prince as a craftsman, and prepares birthday gifts for his father.
In the Han Dynasty, which advocated filial piety, this behavior could not be said to be a fault.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is also full of filial piety!"
How smart Eunuch Wang is, naturally he will not miss this opportunity to give favors.
"Hmph, this kid has no sign of a good appearance all day long. If he can make me angry, he will be considered filial."
Although Liu Qi still had a stern face, his tone was much more relaxed.
He paced back and forth for a moment, pondered for a moment, "In order to avoid you causing trouble again, from tomorrow, you should follow the Inner Historian Chao Cuo to get familiar with government affairs."
After saying that, he snorted heavily.
Then he took the lead in walking out of Hengde Hall.
As Liu Qi's personal eunuch, Eunuch Wang, stayed at the end on the pretext and whispered to Liu Rong with a eager look: "Congratulations to Your Highness!"
Although His Majesty the Emperor did not say it clearly, looking at Liu Rong's errands, how could an ordinary prince enjoy the guidance of government affairs of the important officials of the court?
In the eyes of those who are familiar with the rules of officialdom, this undoubtedly declares Liu Rong's identity as the prince to everyone.
"Today I will thank my father-in-law for his righteous words. I will definitely be rewarded in the future."
Liu Rong said falsely.
It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, he only shows an attitude.
The king stayed until the end and waited for this sentence.
"Your Highness is so serious, this is just a matter of a servant."
If it were other ministers, they might have shown a kindness, but as eunuchs, the prince and the emperor did not have this consciousness.
The following conversation can be said to be a lover and a lover, so naturally the guest and the host will have fun.
Most of the central government residences of the Han Dynasty are adjacent to the two palaces of Weiyang Changle.
It is like the Inner History Office, right at the entrance of Changle Palace, next to Liu Bang's high temple.
Therefore, Liu Rong left the palace gate and walked about hundreds of meters before he saw the plaque and gate of the Inner History Office.
Speaking of which, he had a lot of expectations for this itinerary. He read a lot of archives and introductions about the Inner History Office in his previous life.
The Inner History Office has undergone several changes.
During the Liu Bang period, the inner history was in charge of national financial affairs and the capital region, equivalent to the modern minister of finance and mayor of the capital.
By the time Empress Lü was in power, the right to manage national financial affairs was stripped out and was established separately as the Mizu Inner Historian. Later, it was renamed the Da Nong Ling, also known as the Da Sennong, and was one of the nine ministers as the Inner Historian.
By the second year of Emperor Jing of Han, in the near future, the inner historian would be divided into the left and right internal historians.
Finally, when Emperor Wu dynasty was divided into two, namely Jingzhao Yin and You Fufeng, and Zuo Neishi was renamed Zuo Fengyi, which has been continued for hundreds of years since then.
This shows how huge the position of Inner History has.
The current inner-minded scholar Chao Cuo is the confidant of Emperor Jing. He presided over the issue of reducing the vassals, and even Prime Minister Shen Tu Jia could not do anything to him.
When Liu Rong thought of himself as he was going to do things under this person, he felt a terrified.
Although his opponent is strong, he is not afraid.
Didn’t Taizu say a word?
Fighting with the sky will bring endless joy.
Fighting with the earth will bring endless joy.
Fighting with others will bring endless fun.
Liu Rong wanted to see if he is a modern man, or if Chao Cuo, the ancient man, is smarter.
Liu Rong had just got off the carriage in front of the Inner Shi Yamen.
The middle gate of the Inner History Office was wide open. An official wearing ink black court robes and green ribbons led more than a dozen officials out. When he saw Liu Rong, he said, "My minister, Chao Cuo and the Inner History Office are welcome to welcome Your Highness!"
In terms of etiquette, no one can find any mistakes in him.
Chapter completed!
