The white paper is as thin as a cicada's wings. When touched in the hand, it is extremely smooth, like a jade bi.

The emperor touched it, held it, took a breath, took a deep breath, and even though he didn't know the purpose of this thing, he already understood that it was a priceless treasure!

If you don’t say anything, you will know it by looking at the appearance!

And valuable treasures were loved by everyone in the Han Dynasty, whether they were emperors, ministers, scholars, officials, and common people.

And how much is this thing in your hand worth?

"I'm afraid it's the price is comparable to gold..." The emperor secretly speculated in his heart.

Zhang Yue bowed his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this thing says: Paper is a tool for writing and recording words..."

"Paper?" The emperor frowned slightly.

He is not unfamiliar with things like paper.

Because, when the prince once covered his nose with paper, he came to see him, but he scolded him so much that he was so angry.

but……

The paper used by the prince was just a rough silk floss creation. How could it be as white as the "paper" in front of him, as thin as the wings of a cicada, smooth and translucent?

Zhang Yue explained: "I asked Your Majesty that this kind of paper was collected by me from Changshui Township, soaked it in water for two months, and then cooked it on high fire for three days, adding lime, grass ash, and then pulp..."

"The materials are simple and the workmanship is simple, but the labor is quite time-consuming, but the price is cheap!"

"I have made it, except for manual labor, only a few hundred dollars for a stone of paper..."

"Even if you include labor, it's only more than a thousand dollars..."

The emperor was stunned and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The total cost of one stone of paper is only a thousand yuan?

in other words……

At this moment, there seemed to be a mountain of gold and silver in the eyes of the emperor, an inexhaustible source of wealth!

"Really?" he asked in disbelief.

If this is true...

If Shaofu accepts this industry, how much money will it have to make?

"How dare I deceive Your Majesty!" Zhang Yue bowed his head and bowed.

The emperor took a deep breath, and the piece of white paper in his hand had become like a heavy weight.

Since the Yuan Ding, the Han Dynasty's finances have encountered great problems.

Of course, the main reason is that he spent too much money and made extensive construction.

Not to mention the other side, the manpower and material resources spent on building the Zhang Palace are enough to support the national wars like the three decisive battles in the northern desert.

As for the money and food consumed by other Mingguang Palace and Ganquan Palace, let alone.

He was a famous boy who was a rich man who had traveled to the world and was happy to encourage him whenever he heard the four words "The Emperor's Tour" and some places even prepared to welcome him half a year in advance.

I spent more than ten years like this. It was not until Tianhan and Taishi that he was shocked to find out that he had spent all his money!

This is an extremely painful reality!

You should know that the passage that was often used by later generations to praise the prosperous era of Wen and Jing: The capital was huge inflow of money, but it was rotten but could not be sanitized. The millet in Taicang was mixed with each other, and it was filled with dew and accumulated outside, and it was corruption and inedible.

In fact, it is not the rule of Wen and Jing, but the heyday of the empire's heyday in the Jianyuan, Yuanguang and Yuanshou years ago, the Han family ruled by His Majesty.

This is why he dared to go to Fengshan and Mount Tai because his literary and martial arts are so awesome. If he doesn't go to Fengshan, would he be an otaku in Chang'an?

Only when the money is spent will he know how to cherish it.

But it is easy to spend but difficult to make money.

Especially, when Huo Qubing passed away, there was no other general who could help him find money from outside.

The Han family began to lose money when fighting against the outside world.

The fiscal deficit is getting higher and higher.

Even if Yang Ke helps to sue, he will be a drop in the bucket and will not make ends meet.

Even though Sang Hongyang works overtime every day, he looks for money everywhere.

This money is rare after all.

So much so that in order to collect the military expenditure of Li Guangli for the Western Regions, he now attacked Prime Minister Gongsun He, the fat pig was left for the crown prince.

His original plan was to find a charge when he was about to die and confiscate the prime minister's family.

In this way, once the prince ascended the throne, he would have a good financial situation, and he would have capital for both external military use and internal cultivation.

But reality forced him to prepare in advance to slaughter the fat pig that had been raised for more than 20 years.

It feels a little distressed to think about it!

Now, Zhang Yue has presented white paper, which is of excellent quality and looks very good.

Once it is released, there is no doubt that the world will be popular.

And it wouldn't be too much to sell such a good thing a little more expensive?

It is almost a custom-made wallet for the literati, officials, nobles and nobles in the world.

only……

The only problem is that this thing was invented by Zhang Yue.

The method and craftsmanship of manufacturing are also in the hands of this minister.

As the emperor, he didn't have the shame and could say to the other party: "I am short of money now, so you can present the technique of this thing to the court!"

He can't afford to lose this person either!

Emperor Gao made three rules with his elders in Guanzhong: those who killed people died, injured people and stealing them.

It is still the iron rule of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty.

Whoever touches will die!

As a king, he needs to set an example and set an example in the world.

Especially after listening to the way of the Saint King described by Zhang Yue a few days ago, it was even more impossible for him to lose face and do such a thing.

And it is obvious that this thing is very profitable!

The Han people love money by nature and instinct.

Anyway, after so many years, he has only seen a Bu Shi who can donate his own property for the country.

As for others, they are unwilling to vomit what they have entered their mouths.

Would Zhang Zizhong be willing to offer this item on his own initiative?

Just thinking about it, the emperor felt it was impossible!

Who would take the initiative to hand over the hen that lays golden eggs to the country to share the worries of the king?

He could understand that if he hadn't done such a stupid thing!

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but hurt.

Suddenly, a sound rang in his ears.

"I would like to use white paper techniques to offer your Majesty to help you educate the world and to do your best to be a minister!"

He stared at Zhang Yue incredibly.

I can't even believe my eyes.

"Can you know how precious this thing is?" The emperor kindly reminded Zhang Yue: "If you possess this thing exclusively, you think that the family tradition will be passed down, and your descendants will be rich and honorable!"

"I have heard from Your Majesty. I know that I have received your Majesty's kindness and cannot be obtained. I offer this item only to help Your Majesty, and I will repay you if you want to repay you..."

"Besides, all the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings and ministers are the kings and ministers. I think that this thing is in the hands of Your Majesty and will benefit the world!"

The emperor listened to Zhang Yue's words and looked at his "full of sincerity" eyes.

He sighed and said, "You are really a loyal minister!"

With this method of making white paper, the country can earn at least tens of millions or even tens of millions per year!

Therefore, he didn't feel pretentious, so he took it off directly, then looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
