The Imperial Study.

Li Shimin was busy with the imperial examination, and at this time, a eunuch ran over.

"Holy Lord, Marquis Qin is here."

Hearing that Qin Tian was coming, Li Shimin was a little curious: "He didn't do anything in Shangshu Province, why did he enter the palace again?" ”

"I said it was for the saint to see some good things."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, and without hesitation, he hurriedly ordered: "Let him come in." ”

Not long after, Qin Tian came from outside.

"Holy ......"

Without waiting for Qin Tian to finish speaking, Li Shimin said, "You want to show me something good." ”

"Paper!" As he spoke, he took the paper, and when Li Shimin heard that it was paper, he frowned slightly, what is so beautiful about this thing?

He Datang is not without paper.

However, when Qin Tian brought the paper over, he obviously found that these papers were very different from the ones he usually saw.

"What is this?"

"Shengshang, the minister has improved the papermaking process, which can make papermaking mass-produced, and the paper is more abundant, this kind of paper can be used to record some important things, this kind of paper can be written, and even used as a fold, this kind of toilet paper, is to wipe the buttocks."

When he heard the introduction of the first two kinds of paper, Li Shimin was drinking tea, and his image was elegant and leisurely, but after suddenly hearing the words wipe his buttocks, he just drank the tea in his mouth, and it squirted out with a poof.

"Ahem...... What did you just say this paper does? Li Shimin pointed to the toilet paper.

"Holy Lord, wipe your buttocks, you see how soft this paper is, it doesn't hurt your skin at all, it's best to wipe your buttocks."

Qin Tian muttered, Li Shimin finally understood, picked it up and touched it, it was really soft, he looked up at Qin Tian, and suddenly thought of the word wiping his buttocks, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The imperial study was suddenly quiet, and after a while, Li Shimin coughed twice: "Not bad, not bad!" ”

The reaction is not very intense, after all, Datang used to have paper, and now although it has been improved, it doesn't seem to be of much use, right?

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Qin Tian was a little disappointed, this was his first achievement after entering Shangshu Province, Li Shimin's reaction was inevitably too bland.

"Shengshang, the usefulness of these papers can be said to be very great, not to mention the previous two kinds of paper, just say that this toilet paper, can simply become a must-have thing for rich people, these, can be exported to all parts of Datang, and even surrounding countries have no problems, the market must be there, the minister's meaning, it is better to open a paper mill, and then mass production, shipped to other places, in this way, can enrich our Datang treasury." 、

Qin Tian has already said this very selflessly.

Originally, after the improvement of papermaking, this was a good opportunity for him to make money, but now for the sake of Datang, he did not do it himself, but prepared to send this business to the imperial court, which is simply cutting meat.

After Li Shimin heard this, his expression suddenly moved, why didn't he think of this?

Paper is very expensive, and if it can be sold elsewhere, this small paper will also become a profiteering industry.

However, after listening to Qin Tian's words, he was a little hesitant.

"What does Qin Aiqing mean is that this paper mill will be opened by the imperial court?"

"Yes, all the money earned in this way belongs to the imperial court."

Li Shimin became more and more hesitant and said: "If the imperial court opens a paper mill, won't it compete with the people for profit?" will be criticized, and the court officials are not good at management, inappropriate, inappropriate. ”

Li Shimin still has a bit of face, if it is said that they compete with the people for profit, those businessmen and ordinary people have to poke him in the back, and he knows very well what the officials of the imperial court will do, even if they can do it, can you guarantee that they are not greedy?

Greed is corruption, so I'd rather stay away than get involved.

This was something Qin Tian didn't expect, he thought that Li Shimin would meet Qian Yankai.

But at this time, Li Shimin suddenly sighed lightly: "Moreover, the household department has no money, and it can't open a paper mill." ”

I don't like that money is fake, no money is real, and the household department is really in deficit.

After saying this, Li Shimin looked up at Qin Tian and said, "Is there anything Qin Aiqing can do?" ”

There is no money, Qin Tianneng is a very beautiful way, Qin Tian looked at Li Shimin's eyes, and suddenly had a feeling that he was going to be slaughtered.

"Shengshang, what's so difficult if you don't have money, I still have some people in Datang who are very rich, just let them pay to open a paper mill, in addition to collecting taxes, the imperial court can also occupy another layer of shares, so that it will soon be able to fill the household department, right?"

Qin Tian's method is very simple, it is similar to the financing of later generations, everyone wants to do this, take out the money to do it, after it is done, everyone will share the profits equally, the court will not pay the money, maybe someone will protect the safety of the property, this is a bit of an empty glove white wolf, but for today's Datang, it is the most advantageous method, because they really don't have anything other than people.

Li Shimin is a little tempted to say this, he can share profits without paying money, and he doesn't have to worry about being criticized, which is indeed too tempting.

"Qin Aiqing's method is good, but will anyone really fund the opening of a paper mill?"

"Shengshang, the profits of the paper mill are absolutely amazing, as long as people are not stupid, they will be willing to pay, or else, this matter is all covered by the ministers, and after the profits, one percent will be given to the court, how about it?"

Qin Tian is tantamount to giving his money to the imperial court, if it was before, he would not have done this, but now for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he can only suffer a loss.

Of course, with the blessing of the imperial court, there is no need to worry about the safety of this business, and the most important thing is to get closer to Li Shimin.

So, it looks like you've lost a little money, but you've actually made it back from other sources.

In business, you can't just stare at money, and you will only stare at money.

Li Shimin listened to Qin Tian's meaning and knew that this thing was in Qin Tian's hands again, but he was very happy, because in Qin Tian's hands, he didn't have to worry about competing with the people, and he still had money to take.

He glanced at Qin Tian and knew that Qin Tian was helping the imperial court, so he was a little grateful, and said: "Okay, Qin Aiqing understands the righteousness, so let's do it, now that the imperial court is in danger, I want your profit, and when the imperial court survives this hurdle, I will return it to you." ”

The two of them said this, and the business was spared, and it was in Qin Tian's hands, but after being spared like this, each other's feelings and thoughts were different.

This is a bit the same as the politeness between people, the guests want to leave, people will say to sit for a while, so anxious to do something, may not think like this in their hearts, but the words come out, it can make the guests feel a kind of enthusiasm, and this emotion will naturally heat up a lot.
