Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Now hearing her say this about her father, the woman was really angry.

She wiped her tears and left. No matter how Chunhua scolded her, she never cared about her again.

Because they found a matchmaker, the man came to pick up the bride on the third day, and the man and the woman hurriedly married Chunhua off.

Chunhua was afraid that she would really be drugged by her mother and married off, so nothing went wrong.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Chunhua turned her head to look at the house, and happened to see that Song Ye was fanning the woman, and the woman was leaning over and busy with something.

Seeing them like this, Chunhua's eyes were full of unwillingness. She never thought that Xu Yuan would see it.

At this moment Chunhua did not realize that she was wrong at all, and only blamed her failure on Xu Yuan.

However, no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't avoid this marriage.

Her mother was afraid that she would cause trouble, so she put muscle softening powder in her food. Although she was not unconscious at the moment, she had no strength left in her body and it was difficult for her to get off the mule cart.

When Song Ye heard the sound of gongs and drums, he looked up and saw that a wedding was taking place in the village. When he saw the people on the mule cart, he was slightly stunned, but did not care.

After Xiao Lengyue and Song Ye stayed in the village for a month, they slowly set out to return to Beijing.

It took them almost a month to finally return to the capital, and in the days that followed, in addition to paying attention to poverty alleviation housing and slums, Xiao Lengyue also paid attention to the Ministry of Industry's paper research and development.

Finally, three months later, the Minister of Works excitedly found Xiao Lengyue with a stack of papers.

"Your Majesty, it is done, it is done."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the paper in his hand and smiled, "Have you tried it?"

The Minister of Industry nodded and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have tried it, and this paper is better than the Wang family's."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he took a piece of paper, put the pen on it and tried it. Seeing that the ink did not seep through the paper, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Very good, very good."

The Minister of Industry was also very happy. "Your Majesty, will we start mass production next?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded and said, "Mass production. Besides this, let the people in the Ministry of Industry try to make some paper for calligraphy practice at a lower cost."

When the Minister of Industry heard this, he looked up at Xiao Lengyue in surprise, and then heard Xiao Lengyue say, "As long as the handwriting is not broken, the price should be controlled at a level that ordinary people can afford."

Ordinary people usually practice writing on a sand table. After they become proficient, they will buy paper to write on. However, because the paper is different from what they write on the sand table, the handwriting is not very good.

However, the price of the paper produced by the Wang family was too high, and ordinary people were simply reluctant to spend money to buy paper for practicing calligraphy.

The Minister of Industry naturally knew the difficulties faced by the students from farming families. He bowed to Xiao Lengyue and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I will definitely supervise them and develop the paper as soon as possible."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, and suddenly thought of the fonts that he had asked them to carve before, "Is the carved font ready?"

“The commonly used characters have been carved out.”

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she said happily, "Come on, take me to have a look."

On the way to the Ministry of Works with the Minister of Works, Xiao Lengyue met people from the Cabinet. After asking them if they were in no hurry to report something, he took them to the Ministry of Works.

After seeing the carved words, Xiao Lengyue asked someone to find all the words used in the Three Character Classic and arrange them in order.

The Minister of Rites looked at Xiao Lengyue's operation and whispered, "What is your majesty going to do?"

The Minister of Personnel glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to watch Xiao Lengyue's actions.

After the carving craftsman arranged the characters, he stepped aside. Xiao Lengyue stepped forward, looked at the arranged characters, and stretched out his hand, "Paper."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Works quickly handed over the paper in his hand. Xiao Lengyue took it, picked up the brush beside him, dipped it in ink, and brushed it on the font.

After it was all evenly spread, he placed the paper on top of the fonts, took a clean brush nearby, and gently brushed the paper.

When she picked up the paper, the Three Character Classic was already printed on it.

When the ministers saw this, they were all shocked. Seeing that the papers could be cut and bound into a copy of the Three Character Classic, the shock was instantly followed by excitement.

They excitedly stepped forward to check the paper, and when they saw that the font on it was exactly the same as handwriting, they excitedly said: "This, this..."

"This is printing. After that, you can carve more words, print them directly after arranging them, and wait for the ink to dry before cutting them out and binding them into books."

After Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the Minister of Personnel, "When the time comes, you can discuss with the people in the Hanlin Academy about what books we need to print."

When the Minister of Personnel heard this, he nodded happily and said, "I accept your order."

The other ministers of the six ministries looked at the ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works with envy. Just as they were about to make some jokes, they heard Xiao Lengyue say, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I want to open a library in every town."

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he blurted out in fear: "Your Majesty, because of the poverty alleviation housing, the treasury is now out of money."

Xiao Lengyue nodded when she heard this, "I know, so I need you to go and raise funds from the officials and the noble families."

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, his face instantly wrinkled, and he thought, how could it be so easy to raise funds from those aristocratic families?

Even if those people donate for the sake of Your Majesty, they will only show some appreciation and will not donate in large amounts. If you want to build libraries in every place, that would be a drop in the bucket.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Lengyue said nonchalantly, "I plan to erect a monument in front of the library. The higher the donation, the higher the position of the monument will be."

As soon as Xiao Lengyue said this, the Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly: "I will obey your order and I will definitely raise the funds."

Xiao Lengyue: "Once you have raised the funds, go and discuss it with the people in the Ministry of Industry."

After saying that, he pondered for a while, then looked at the Minister of War, "During this period of time, if any department needs soldiers, you must provide assistance."

The Minister of War nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The Minister of Justice saw that everyone had things arranged, and quickly looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Your Majesty, where is this humble minister?"

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There are too many cases in the Dali Temple, and there are not enough people. You can discuss it with Bai Feng.

Those that are relatively simple can be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for handling."

When Minister Bai heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He looked at Xiao Lengyue awkwardly, "Your Majesty, people from the Ministry of Justice can also handle those cases."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "I know."

When Minister Bai heard this, his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Lengyue say, "It's just too slow."
