She had seen the making of this kind of paper when she followed her master to his friend's place.

That paper is really great.

Even a layman like her would like it.

What’s more, he is a scholar like Chu Jinxiao.

"Yanyan, if this paper is really as you said, I will definitely ask the emperor uncle to reward you well." Chu Jinxiao said excitedly.

Xu Zhiyan looked at Chu Jinxiao in confusion: "Why?"

"Now the production of Xuan paper in our country is controlled by the Minister of Revenue, and his daughter is the imperial concubine." Chu Jinxiao told Xu Zhiyan about some things in the capital.

After hearing the end, Xu Zhiyan understood.

The Minister of Revenue controlled the production of Xuan paper, and also controlled some books and even scholars.

This is a huge threat to the emperor.

"The grandson of the Minister of Revenue is the Second Prince. He has many supporters, but the person the Emperor values ​​most is the Crown Prince."

Xu Zhiyan looked at Chu Jinxiao in front of him in silence: "You want to help the prince?"

Chu Jinxiao nodded firmly: "The prince is very good to me."

This one sentence made Xu Zhiyan realize how different Chu Jinxiao's identity and status were.

He looked at Chu Jinxiao in front of him with a tangled look: "Must I help you?"

"If the second prince comes to power, none of us will have a good ending." Chu Jinxiao said with a wry smile as he looked at Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan thought about it and understood what Chu Jinxiao meant.

The new emperor is on the throne, and he is an enemy. It would be strange if they have a good ending.

He looked at Chu Jinxiao in front of him in a tangled manner, and after a long time he said helplessly: "Then I will give you another thing."

"what?"

“Movable Type Printing.”

Seeing Chu Jinxiao looking at him with a confused expression, Xu Zhiyan carefully explained the method of movable type printing to Chu Jinxiao.

Before Chu Jinxiao finished listening, he felt that it was very unusual.

If they applied this technology to book printing, the results can be imagined.

By then, the advantages of the Minister of Revenue and the Second Prince will be gone.

This is definitely a good thing for them.

After hearing this, Chu Jinxiao laughed happily: "Thank you so much, Yanyan."

"You're welcome." Xu Zhiyan still had a good impression of Chu Jinxiao and the Jiang family.

Xu Zhiyan went to Chu Jinxiao to get pen and ink, wrote down both recipes, and gave them to Chu Jinxiao at the same time.

Since this thing is so important, it is not suitable for them to make it themselves.

Once the Minister of Revenue and others find out, it will probably bring disaster to the family.

It would be better to give it directly to the emperor and let him arrange it.

By then, even if all the things are out, the Minister of Revenue will be helpless.

Could he possibly deal with the Emperor?

"I'll give this thing to you. We were originally thinking of making it and selling it ourselves, but after hearing what you said, I think it's better to hand it over to the emperor to deal with." Xu Zhiyan said seriously.

"Yanyan, I won't be polite to you, but you have to be careful. I will definitely ask the emperor for the benefits that you deserve." Chu Jinxiao said seriously.

Xu Zhiyan smiled and said nothing. If she could give it to her, that would be better. But if she couldn't, she wouldn't force him.

Chu Jinxiao wrote a letter, put the letter and the method written by Xu Zhiyan into an envelope and gave it to Xingchen.

"Xingchen, you must send this letter back as quickly as possible. Remember, this thing must not fall into the hands of others." Xingchen is very good at martial arts and lightness skills. He is also the emperor's man, so he can be trusted completely.

"Young Master, what will you do after I leave?" Xingchen frowned and looked at Chu Jinxiao with a worried look on his face and asked.

"I'm fine here. Besides, there are so many people around me. You should go and come back quickly. This is very important to us." Whether the Minister of Revenue can be suppressed at the root depends on this time.

"Yes."

After Xingchen handed Chu Jinxiao's safety over to others, he rode back to the capital at full speed.

Perhaps Chu Jinxiao's identity as a sickly person was too deeply rooted in people's minds, resulting in no one watching over Xingchen, allowing him to return to the capital secretly.

As soon as he returned to the capital, Xingchen went to the Jiang family.

When Mr. Jiang saw Xingchen coming back, he asked with a serious expression, "Xingchen, why did you come back at this time?"

"Master, please take me to see the emperor. I have a letter from the young master to give to the emperor."

When the old man heard this, he immediately understood that Xingchen might have made some important discovery this time, so he quickly changed into official uniform and took Xingchen into the palace.

When the emperor learned that the old man had entered the palace, he quickly said, "Let the teacher in."

Old Master Jiang brought Xingchen into the imperial study. When the emperor saw Xingchen, his heart skipped a beat: "Why is Xingchen back? Did something happen to Xiaoer?"

Mr. Jiang knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness."

"Teacher, there's no need to do this since there are no outsiders here. Xingchen, why are you back?"

"Your Majesty, this is the letter that the young master asked me to deliver personally." Xingchen took out the letter in his arms and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took it but didn't rush to look at it. Instead, he asked Xingchen, "How is Xiao'er's health?"

"Young Master's health is much better now. He will get better slowly if he takes care of himself."

The emperor asked happily: "Is this true?"

"Your Majesty, this is all true. It is said that Xiao'er met a miracle doctor with excellent medical skills. Now he lives an easy life, his mind is free, and his illness is almost cured." Old Master Jiang said with a smile.

When the emperor heard that Chu Jinxiao's health had improved a lot, he was finally relieved.

Only then did I have time to read the letter sent back by Chu Jinxiao.

After reading the letter written by Chu Jinxiao, the emperor's expression suddenly changed. After reading the rest of the content, he laughed out loud: "Xiao'er has helped us a lot this time."

The old man looked at the emperor's happy expression in surprise, wondering what Chu Jinxiao had given him.

"Teacher, come and take a look." The emperor handed the letter written by Chu Jinxiao to Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang was also very happy after reading it: "If this is true, it is very important for us to get these two things out."

"Teacher is right. We must do this in secret. And I must reward Xu Zhiyan who gave me the formula. What do you think should be the reward?"

"The little girl Xu Zhiyan has a brother who studies in Qingshan Academy. It is said that he is very talented. I will let the second son teach him well when the time comes. As for the girl, you can give her some things she likes and some gold and silver." These are the things the Xu family needs most at this stage.

The emperor nodded in agreement: "Then give me some gold and silver jewelry, and some gold."

With this idea in mind, the emperor asked people to prepare a lot of good things for Xingchen to take back.

When Xingchen was about to leave, he gave Xingchen a token: "Give this token to the girl from the Xu family. You can use it for anything that happens at home in the future."

"Yes."

Xingchen took the things and left. He knew that the emperor and the old man still had something to discuss.

After Xingchen left, the emperor asked the eunuch chief to leave.
