Papermaking is easier said than done.

Guo Tianyi knows the basic principles and production process, but the specific details need to be proven through experiments again and again.

Before dawn the next day, Mo Feng and others started the experiment in the backyard.

For the descendants of the Mohist family, nothing is more interesting than making scientific and technological inventions.

As usual, Guo Tianyi slept until the sun rose high before getting up.

"well..."

"There is just no woman?"

"Other time-travelers end their single lives at the very beginning."

"Me too..."

Guo Tianyi looked at the ceiling and murmured to himself, he also saw many beautiful girls in the palace.

But the palace maids themselves couldn't move at will.

Even if you are an emperor, you can't do it casually.

Because there is supervision by the censor, the emperor cannot, let alone the prince.

Those stallion-like male protagonists in novels do not exist in reality.

Xiao Anzi, who was waiting at the side to change Guo Tianyi's clothes, swallowed and said, "Your Highness, if you are feeling bored now, I will use..."

"roll!"

"I think you are tired of living, don't you?"

"You still dare to talk evil?"

Guo Tianyi looked at Xiao Anzi with red lips and white teeth next to him, and had the urge to kick him a few times.

"My servant is wrong. I am waiting for His Highness to change clothes..."

Seeing this, Guo Tianyi had no intention of quarreling with his personal eunuch anymore. After changing clothes and washing up, he went to the backyard.

I saw the craftsmen in the backyard processing raw materials according to techniques, and I didn't even notice Guo Tianyi's arrival.

Guo Tianyi stood in the corridor and looked at it, then turned and left.

Now, I still need to solve a problem.

That's Dafeng's financial problem.

According to his own memory, Dafeng's finances are already in short supply, which is extremely inappropriate.

Dafeng is different from the Chinese world he knows. He collects business taxes.

If nothing went wrong, his maternal family would be responsible for every city in the capital, and he would die early in the future, and that would be the problem.

The matrilineal family, in addition to his uncle Wang Zhene, also has a large number of family members.

Among them, a cousin who was responsible for the management of the city filled his own pockets and laid the foundation for his own trouble.

And all of this happened a long time later, and it became one of the reasons why the other princes turned against him.

Furthermore, there are indeed many moths in his maternal family, and Guo Tianyi must take care of them.

What I have to do now is to nip the crisis in the bud.

"By the way, where is Cao Dechun?"

Guo Tianyi left Chengde Palace, looked around and saw that Cao Dechun was not there, and said.

"Returning to Your Highness, Eunuch Cao went to the city to spread information about recruiting talents according to your instructions yesterday. It seems that the people of King Wei and King Zhou are also recruiting talents..."

Hearing the sound, Guo Tianyi sneered and said, "I was too tired yesterday, so I forgot about this. How fast are they moving?"

Guo Tianyi had long known that King Wei's advice was to recruit talented people to deal with the Wu envoy.

The two of them can move quickly and he is no exception.

If they can't stand out in the competition between the two countries in seven days, they will be extremely passive.

But I have five thousand years of Chinese wisdom in my mind. How can they understand it?

Another point is that the talents we recruit are all pragmatic.

Those who are slanderous and vain are definitely not within the scope of their recruitment.

It is impossible to become a great treasure in the future without having one's own confidants, right?

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

"Go to Chengnanfang City."

"This slave obeys the order..."

Immediately, Guo Tianyi left the Forbidden City with his bodyguard group of a hundred people.

.........

Cining Palace.

This is the palace of Queen Mother Zhang.

"The emperor's grandson meets the emperor's grandmother."

The king of Wei was an extraordinary man. He knelt in front of the bead curtain and paid his respects to the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, come and talk."

The lady lying behind the bead curtain waved her hand, a look of endearment flashed in her eyes.

Zhang Wei, the biological mother of Emperor Fengjing.

He was also the only person in the Dafeng Dynasty who could overpower the emperor.

Looking at King Wei, the doting look in Zhang Fan's eyes became more and more intense.

"Royal Grandmother, I found a very important piece of evidence yesterday." King Wei sat upright outside the Queen Mother's beaded curtain and said solemnly, "Our Dafeng is currently in a tight financial situation. In addition to corruption, there is another big reason.

Coming from the capital city run by the Wang family's relatives, their business taxes have been suspected of fraud in recent years..."

As he spoke, a cold look flashed in King Wei's eyes.

Yesterday I was exhausted one after another.

His confidant Yao Lun was also slapped by eunuch Wei An.

How could he swallow this breath?

Coincidentally, someone from the Ministry of Revenue sent a secret letter, pointing all the fingers at Guo Tianyi's maternal family.

"oh?"

"You said it was a descendant of the third prince's mother-in-law's family who did it?"

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and snorted coldly, "Corruption among officials has been inevitable in all dynasties, but Concubine Rong is so ignorant of promotion..."

She originally had a good impression of Guo Tianyi, but now the good impression in Queen Mother Zhang's heart has completely disappeared.

Concubine Rong is a woman with big breasts and no brains.

Guo Tianyi, on the other hand, couldn't even greet him a few times a year. He used to be an unlearned waste, but now that he has gained some prestige, he doesn't take himself seriously.

Without the support of the Queen Mother, how could the throne be so easy to sit on?

Throughout the ages, filial piety has always been the first priority.

Even the emperor would not dare to bear the name of unfilial piety.

"Yes." King Wei added jealously, "Yesterday the King of Han brought a group of people with unknown origins into the palace. The confidants of the sons and ministers wanted to act according to the law, but they were blocked. The father now supports the third brother and the emperor's grandson.

I can only come to the Imperial Grandmother for help..."

"Royal grandmother, you have to make the decision for your grandson. Your grandson is also thinking about Feng Guozuo."

"Not only does the third brother have no law, but he also behaves wantonly. A few days ago, he killed Zhou Hongwen, a first-class official, and personally ransacked Zhou Hongwen's home. The Zhou family's great service to me is not due to credit but also to hard work..."

"There are also those relatives of the Wang family. If they are not dealt with, they will become another group that forms a clique for selfish purposes..."

"We are all thinking about how to relieve the country's worries, but the third brother directly asks the father for the crown prince's position. His intention is to be punished..."

"My father is currently ill, so I still hope that my grandmother will make the decision..."

King Wei had a look of justice on his face, burst into tears, and almost described Guo Tianyi and his maternal family as heinous people.

"Your Majesty, please stop talking."

The Queen Mother Zhang Fan became angrier as she listened. She felt that Guo Tianyi didn't take her seriously at all.

His maternal cousin, who is from the Wang family, is very domineering. How can this continue?

Especially the initiative to ask for the crown prince's position revealed too much ambition.

Even though she admits that Guo Tianyi is somewhat talented now, she is guilty of being arrogant.

Unfilial piety is a grave sin.

"The Ai family is now assigning a thousand of your soldiers to investigate the matter of the Wang family's relatives in accordance with the Ai family's will."

"If the evidence is conclusive, we will definitely kill him without mercy."

With that said, the eunuch next to the Queen Mother took a decree.

"Your Majesty, your grandson thanks your grandmother for your kindness."

The king of Wei was overjoyed and quickly retreated after accepting Yi's decree.
