The price of pen and ink has skyrocketed, and this matter is not just Chang'an, nor is it one place or two places.

But prices have been raised all over the country.

Even though Li Er didn't understand the business, the price of paper soared before was still there.

Now, the price of paper has just been cut.

I have to say that it’s really thanks to my son Sheng’er.

Now, in a blink of an eye, the price of pen and ink has risen again.

If these aristocratic families were not making trouble behind this, Li Er would have dared to stand upside down to get diarrhea!

After reading the memorial, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also secretly shocked.

This is simply a bamboo shoot grab.

First, the price of paper increased, but now the price of pen and ink increased.

This is simply not to take Li Er seriously as a human being. Is the imperial examination edict? In the eyes of these people, I am afraid it is for wiping their butts.

No wonder Your Majesty is so angry.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are both beautiful people, and they can almost imagine how bad Li Er is in this moment.

To be fair, if I were Li Er, I would probably not be able to calm down.

"Your Majesty calms down, this matter is indeed a bit strange..."

"Your Majesty, it seems that there is a shadow of a noble family behind this matter..."

"Fuck! Don't I know these things? Or do you don't know? If you don't know, hurry up and get out of here with your salary this year!"

Li Er broke out, and Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji quickly knelt down.

"Have your majesty calm down!"

"Have your majesty calm down!"

In fact, they can also understand Li Er's mood at this moment.

But they are not without reason when speaking that way.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other quietly, and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Recently, there has been military reform and new weapons production.

Fang Xuanling and the others also discovered this new weapon, Li Jing and Du Ruhui, who led the troops, were happier than the other.

But the problem is that those who are in charge of treasury expenses will be in pain.

The Divine Arm Bow and the Grenade Dan, these two things are clearly two money-burning monsters.

The silver from the national treasury power flowed out like the slam of water.

And... the paper factory can make huge profits. But in fact, there is no huge profit. His Majesty was kind at the time and directly promised to give the craftsmen three times the money they had in the past.

This time, Your Majesty’s kindness and praises the people, is of course a good thing.

But the problem is that the original huge profit seemed very average because of this.

What's more, the imperial court only has half of its shares! Naturally, the profit is only half.

Of course, it is impossible to fill the hole in military expenditure.

so……

Whether it is Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling.

The two of them did not have low EQ, nor did they have the potential to be Erwuzai, who naturally did not empathize with Li Er.

But... they were afraid that Li Er would be angry and suddenly came to do something again. It would be okay for Li Er to do something. The treasury couldn't stand it. The key is...

However, Li Er was angry, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only look at Li Er pitifully.

After a while of fun, Li Er also understood.

To be honest, I can't do it myself.

Thinking of this, it seems that there is nothing to do.

The national treasury is not enough and requires a huge amount of money to fill it. I and Empress Changsun’s private money is probably not enough to get stuck between my teeth.

Still can only watch.

Otherwise what can I do?

Seeing that Li Er seemed to calm down, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, you have to hold back. The Turkic matters are serious at this time, so we can't make trouble."

"well……"

Li Er began to sigh for a long time, and Changsun Wuji thought about it and decided to change the topic.

This is his specialty.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty has heard that a talented man appeared in Chang'an's piano fighting event a few days ago."

"Even Wang Fuchou, Brother Wang, has become a disciple of this great sage, but this great sage is not as talented as his age. Such a talent..."

"If I can't afford to buy pens, ink and paper in the future, if I can't think of it and throw myself into the Turks, it's a problem for me to be a Tang Dynasty."

After Changsun Wuji said this, he felt secretly proud.

Which emperor doesn’t like this wild talent?

In ancient times, there were Emperor Liu visiting the cottage three times, and King Wen of Zhou asked for guidance by the stream, and more nearby ones were gone.

Your Majesty is polite to talents and cannot bear to the poor scholars who are so depressed that they cannot afford to buy pens and books. It is true that it cannot be solved for the time being.

But it is actually feasible to give this typical case first and let Your Majesty promote and reward him with an extraordinary amount.

In short, let’s satisfy Your Majesty first. Not only can you fool this matter, but you can leave a good impression on Your Majesty and earn that person a favor. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to win three goals in one fell swoop?

However, after saying that, I found that the atmosphere was not right.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling both looked at themselves with strange looks.

"This... Your Majesty, Xuanling, what's wrong with you?"

"Weichen... I'm here, I don't seem to say anything wrong?"

...

Li Er laughed when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. This guy didn't know Sheng'er's existence yet.

Fang Xuanling was also laughing. I guess Changsun Wuji never dreamed that he was His Highness.

but,

Just as Changsun Wuji said.

Now the aristocratic family is powerful, so this is true, but they just encountered a group of foreign enemies such as the Turks.

In this case, if His Majesty enters the palace, no one can protect him, he is afraid that he will accidentally die... It is not impossible to die prematurely.

These aristocratic families can even raise the price of pen, ink and paper, but what else can't be done?

Li Er held back his laughter and felt much better.

With Sheng'er here, there will always be a solution for anything!

He waved his hand and signaled that Changsun Wuji would not need to say anything more.

"Don't worry about this matter, I have my own opinions on this young man. In addition..."

Then we naturally continued to discuss a series of matters such as military system reform and new weapons manufacturing.

Finally, late at night.

Li Er finally sent Changsun Wuji away.

When I remembered the memorial again, I couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Empress Changsun suddenly walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Erlang, it's time to rest."

"I understand... you are the one who loves me the most, Guanyin Bi!"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Er unhappily, "What's the point of asking if I love you? You don't pay attention to your body."

Li Er felt that he couldn't vomit, so he told him about the daytime events.

Empress Changsun smiled.

"Is this a problem encountered again? If it really doesn't work, let's visit Sheng'er again. You can just ask Sheng'er for advice."

"this……"

"What, Sheng'er is now the number one talented man in the Tang Dynasty. He is known as the reincarnation of a poet. He is not qualified to give you advice?"

"All right."

Li Er smiled bitterly, thinking that's true. Anyway, he definitely couldn't write Sheng'er's poems!

No matter what happens in the future, this child will most likely be famous in history.

However, he still told Empress Changsun about the predicament.

"The national treasury has no silver...I still have some private money, if you need it..."

"Things are broken. Mo needs mining. Where can we have enough private money? Even if Sheng'er makes a move, I can't afford to open a new factory. I can only see if Sheng'er... has any new plans."
