At this point, although Emperor Jing Liu Qi was not as good as Emperor Taizong, it was enough to make many people grateful.

Therefore, among the people, there are many people who spontaneously light eternal lamps for the emperor and set up god-master tablets.

As for the officials of the court and the princes from all over the country, they naturally would not fall behind. They prepared gifts in large quantities, and they wanted to make it known to everyone in the world.

Even the vassal states such as Wu and Chu who could rebel at any time also symbolically sent people to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays.

You know, Wu and Chu have not sent envoys to Beijing for decades.

Therefore, Liu Qi, who originally did not want to hold his birthday, heard about the news that the envoys from Wu Chu and other countries had entered Beijing.

He immediately overturned his previous plan. He not only wanted to do it, but also had a glorious plan.

The princes and kings from all over the country should see the strength of the court.

Therefore, Liu Qi's birthday rose from the emperor's family affairs to the height of political events.

If anyone dares to lose track of this matter, he will definitely punish him severely.

For Liu Rong, this plan really cannot keep up with the changes.

In order to deal with the cheap father's birthday, he had to hand over all the matters in Nanshi to Yuan Ang to handle.

I have been in the palace these two days, and I worked hard with Ada, Aer and A San all night long with the plan of making paper.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

On this day, Liu Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the sample in his hand.

He knew that with this treasure, his position as a prince would be unshakable.

"Your Highness, is this white paper?"

Ada looked excited and stroked the white paper in front of him, as if he was stroking the girl's skin, for fear that the movement would defile the holy existence.

Although he hadn't read many books, he also understood the meaning of this white paper.

The paper in front of me is as thin as a cicada's wing, white and clean, and beautiful as if it were a treasure.

It will surely sweep the world in the future and completely replace the bamboo slips!

Such contributions are almost comparable to Cangjie's creation of characters, and they can be kept in history and admired by all generations!

"Good baby, it's just a little bit expensive."

A Er's expression was also excited. He remembered the children in his family. What a happy thing it would be if he could write on this white paper.

He roughly calculated that the cost of this batch of blank paper is about 100 cents per piece.

If sold to the public, at least a few dozen more money will be added.

Calculate that a child consumes at least 100 pieces of white paper every year, it costs more than 10,000 yuan a year.

This is almost the annual income of an ordinary family.

Craftsmen can be regarded as high-income groups in the big man.

A skilled craftsman like A Er has an annual salary of as much as ten gold.

Nothing worse than an ordinary small landlord's house.

But even with his income, he could only sigh secretly when he looked at the blank paper in front of him.

This more than 10,000 yuan seems not much, but this is just a waste of paper. Other costs such as pen and ink apprenticeship are definitely not something that an ordinary family can afford.

He guessed that with his own situation, it was already the limit to support a child to study.

If Liu Rong knew what A Er was thinking, he would definitely sneer.

More than one hundred texts per piece of white paper?

This is to send beggars.

Even if you sell it at a bargain price, it cannot be this price.

If you don’t have a thousand pennies, you can’t even think about it.

Before his workshop was built, this white paper was destined to be a luxury.

What? A piece of white paper is too expensive for a thousand penny? I'm afraid it won't be sold?

This is because I underestimate the financial resources of the princes and powerful merchants from all over the country.

Take the Zhuo family, a famous merchant in the Han Dynasty at that time, as an example. This family alone hired thousands of people to mine for him.

Life is even more luxurious, and you won’t even frown when you eat a hundred gold coins in a meal.

Such families are willing to invest heavily in their studies in the future.

Not to mention a thousand documents per piece, even if it costs ten thousand dollars per piece, there will be people rushing to buy it.

According to Liu Rong's estimate, when his batch of white paper flows into the market, he may be snatched away in a blink of an eye.

You may not be able to buy money alone, but you still have to have power and power.

Therefore, in the early days, this white paper was destined to be only circulated among the nobles and nobles.

This is not only for interest reasons, but also for safety reasons.

Although the value of white paper is high, due to its size, the output will inevitably be low.

In this way, although this business is jealous, it is not so big that it makes people do whatever it takes.

If the production scale of white paper is really expanded by dozens of times, the first person who jumped out to grab it would be Liu Rong's cheap father Liu Qi.

Liu Rong planned to produce a batch of white paper in small batches to accumulate funds, and only after he had his own fiefdom could he produce white paper on a large scale.

At that time, the white paper will be set at 100 cents per piece, but the production cost may be reduced to 10 cents.

The profits brought by large-scale shipments are actually higher.

Moreover, as the white paper spreads throughout the world, it will inevitably bring him countless reputations.

This is not something that money can buy.

Since the Empress Dowager Dou’s family banquet, Liu Rong’s every move has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially when facing the birthday of Emperor Liu Qi.

Many people are curious about what kind of birthday gift this eldest son will prepare.

This seems to be just an inconspicuous thing, but in fact it has touched many people's hearts.

Because King Liang Liu Wu spoke out and wanted to prepare a generous birthday gift for the emperor's brother Liu Qi to express his respect and admiration for the emperor.

In the eyes of Guantao, Su Ji and others, this was clearly because Liu Wu thief was determined to continue to make trouble.

For this reason, many insiders are carrying small stools and pounding melon seeds to watch a good show.

But what is disappointing is that Liu Rong, one of the protagonists, locked himself in the palace and seemed to have no idea about the situation outside.

Everyone only knew that Liu Rong was figuring out some strange gadgets, but they didn't know what they were.

This made many people feel like they were tickling their bodies and their bones were itchy.

After waiting for two days, someone finally couldn't sit still.

Princess Guantao and Su Ji visited together, which was a very strange thing.

These two women have always been disagreeable, and it would be better if they don’t fight when they meet on weekdays.

Today, they appeared together in Liu Rong's bedroom, which almost made people who met along the way think that the sun came from the west.

When Liu Rong came out, he saw two women facing each other coldly, and no one talked to each other.

"I don't know that my mother and the eldest princess aunt are here, and the boy is in a position to welcome him. I forgive my sins and forgive me."

Liu Rong bent down with a smile and bowed, his behavior a little funny, which made the two women laugh and sneer.

"You kid, you say it nicely, but you don't know how to arrange us in your heart?"

Although Princess Guantao has not been in contact with Liu Rong for a long time, judging from Liu Rong's performance during this period, how could she treat him as an ordinary person?

"Hmph, this kid doesn't know what's going on. He's like he's wearing oil recently, so he doesn't know how to learn."

Su Ji's words sounded like she criticized her son at first, but it was not difficult to see from her unconcealed pride expression on her face.

She was completely showing off.

Especially in front of Guantao, she was like a proud rooster.

How could Princess Guantao not see this woman's thoughts? If it were normal, she would have had a big argument with the other party.

Now, she looked at Liu Rong, and she seemed to say that for your sake, I won’t be skeptical about her for the time being.

What else could Liu Rong say? He could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

It's really helpless to have such a top-notch mother on the stage.

"Liu Rong, what are you busy with these two days? Do you know that King Liang brought a large number of treasures from his fiefdom, most of which were intended to be presented to the emperor as a birthday gift, and the other half came to bribe the princes and ministers."

After talking, Princess Guantao expressed her purpose today.

After the two families made a marriage contract, whether Liu Rong could become the crown prince was not just Liu Rong's own business, and she had to worry about it.
