Chapter 255 Expose
After Lin Xuan left the court, he came directly to Moxuanzhai.
He already knew what happened after he left Chang'an.
He had already expected it before, and it was not a surprise.
"I have seen Hou Ye!"
When He Xinmin saw Lin Xuan, he was very surprised and a little surprised.
He thought that Lin Xuan had just returned from the expedition and was very busy, so he probably wouldn't be here in a short time.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "You have worked hard during this time."
He Xinmin said with a smile: "This is what the young ones should do. Lord Hou please go upstairs."
Lin Xuan nodded and followed He Xinmin to the second floor.
He Xinmin ordered someone to bring tea, Lin Xuan picked it up and took a sip, then asked, "Shopkeeper He, how is business doing recently?"
"Back to Lord Hou, the current production capacity has doubled several times compared to before. Moxuanzhai has already purchased unlimited, and other papers are piling up in the warehouse, and there is almost no room for them." He Xinmin said with a smile.
Previously, Moxuanzhai was limited, and although some pens, inks and inkstones were also sold, the customers who came were all focused on grabbing paper, and other things could not be sold at all.
Now that there is no limit to paper, the desire of those people to buy paper is not high.
Anyway, buying it once is enough for a long time, if it is gone, just buy it again.
As a result, brushes and inkstones sold very well.On the contrary, it is much more profitable than paper.
He Xinmin still had some resentment towards Lin Xuan for setting the price of paper so low. After all, paper really doesn't make much money. After removing the normal expenses, there is not much left.
As the shopkeeper, he couldn't get much treatment.
Now He Xinmin has no resentment, and instead casts his eyes on Lin Xuan's admiration.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry about the paper issue, it will be resolved in a while. By the way, has the toilet paper been produced yet?"
He Xinmin said with some shame: "Going back to Lord Hou, it was produced several times, but it didn't quite agree with Lord Hou's request."
Toilet paper has been produced a few times, either too brittle or too thick.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "It's okay, just continue to study."
The production technology in ancient times was backward, and he never thought that it could be produced so soon.
Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't blame him, He Xinmin heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes!"
"By the way, you can ask someone to study and try making paper from bamboo," Lin Xuan said.
He remembered that bamboo paper was researched by the Tang Dynasty, but he had inquired about it, but it was not there yet, so it must have not been researched yet.
Papermaking in the Tang Dynasty mostly used straw, wheat straw, mulberry bark and other things.
But the most important raw material is bark.
The ancients did not have the concept of afforestation, and most of the trees grow naturally.
The damage to the environment caused by papermaking and building houses can be said to be very large.
Bamboo is different. Bamboo grows fast, and there are many in Sichuan and Sichuan.
If the use of bamboo to make paper can be researched earlier, the demand for trees can also be reduced.
Lin Xuan had no way to popularize the importance of protecting the environment to the ancients, so he could only save the country with curves.
He doesn't know how useful it is, so he just wants peace of mind.
He Xinmin replied: "Yes!"
Next, He Xinmin took out the account book and showed it to Lin Xuan.
After Lin Xuan left for more than three months, Mo Xuanzhai had a total balance of 530 taels after deducting expenses.
If you only rely on selling paper, it would be good to have two thousand guan left over.
It can be seen that brushes and inkstones have indeed made a lot of money.
……
The carriage stopped at the gate of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and Wei Zheng got out of the carriage.
Just about to enter the mansion, suddenly a middle-aged man rushed out from the side.
"who!"
The guard yelled, drew out his waist knife, and hurriedly protected Wei Zheng.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, I have something to ask to see Zheng Guogong."
Seeing that the middle-aged man was not threatening, the guard looked at Wei Zheng and waited for him to speak.
Wei Zheng waved his hand to signal the guards to step aside, and asked, "What do you want this old man for?"
The middle-aged man looked around and said, "My lord, it may be inconvenient to talk here. I wonder if I can find a quiet place? I have something important to tell the Duke."
Wei Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "Come in with the old man!"
Wei Zheng took him to the study room, and after serving tea, he sent everyone away and asked, "Tell me, what can I do with this old man? If you're here to amuse me, don't blame me for being rude."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly and said, "Of course the young one knows what the Duke said. But the young one believes that the Duke must be interested in this news."
Wei Zheng was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Speak!"
The middle-aged man looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "Hou Jun gathered in Gaochang to rape and rape Princess Gaochang, and secretly executed King Gaochang. He took [-]% of the treasures of the entire Gaochang palace, and [-]% was stolen. He rewarded the soldiers, and only [-]% was reported to His Majesty."
Wei Zheng stood up suddenly, stared at the middle-aged man firmly, and asked, "Is what you said true?"
This news is really shocking. In comparison, looting with soldiers is nothing.
Of the three things the middle-aged man said, any one of them, if investigated deeply, could bring Hou Junji's head to the ground.
The middle-aged man said hastily: "Your Majesty, it is easy to investigate such a big matter, how dare a villain talk nonsense."
Wei Zheng sat down with a blank expression on his face. He already believed the middle-aged man's words to seven or eight percent.
"How do you know this kind of thing? Tell me, what is your identity?" Wei Zheng asked.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Can the Duke keep me safe?"
Hou Junji did these things but didn't say anything, so there must be other people involved.
If this matter spreads, among other things, he will definitely die.
Wei Zheng pondered for a while, then said: "This matter, the old man will investigate secretly, and it has nothing to do with you."
The middle-aged man gave Wei Zheng a grateful look, and said, "The young one is a captain under General Xue Wanjun. When General Xue captured King Gaochang, the young one participated."
The money that Hou Junji distributed to Xue Wanjun back then was not only for him, but also part of it was for him to distribute to his subordinates.
However, Xue Wanjun just distributed some casually and sent them away.
The middle-aged man originally wanted to sue Xue Wanjun, but Xue Wanjun just took some extra money, so it was not a big deal.
After thinking about it, if Hou Junji was investigated, Xue Wanjun would also be implicated.
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Go, I haven't seen you today."
"More princes!" The middle-aged man hurriedly left.
He didn't know if Wei Zheng would reveal this matter.
If even Wei Zheng didn't dare, he couldn't think of anyone to turn to.
Wei Zheng frowned, walking up and down in the study.
He knew that if it was confirmed, it would be no less than an earthquake.
But he already knew it now, and if he pretended not to know it, he would not end well when this matter was exposed by others.
If Li Shimin knew, he knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't ask, what would he think?
……
Just as Lin Xuan arrived at the door of his house, he saw a carriage parked at the door, which was a little strange.
"Can Lord Hou get in the car and talk about it?"
At this moment, a woman's voice came from the carriage.
The woman's voice sounded familiar at first, but after careful thought, Lin Xuan knew the woman's identity.
Lin Xuan smiled, without hesitation, he opened the curtain and entered the carriage.
Seeing Lin Xuan coming in, Cui Yuxiu smiled at Lin Xuan, picked up the teapot on the stove, and made tea.
Lin Xuan sat down unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "Miss Cui is a good planner. I didn't give away much of this tea, but Miss Cui managed to get it."
Cui Yuxiu smiled faintly, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Lin Xuan, and said, "It's just a gift from someone."
