After seven years of fiefdom, Li Shimin asked me to return and become the crown prince.

"You want my secret papermaking technique?"

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, as if he wanted to see through him.

Why are businessmen so motivated now?

For the country and the people.

Zizi....Such a businessman is indeed good, and he is also thinking about the court.

Li Dao Zong nodded and did not continue to speak.

Li Kuan pondered for a moment, with a gleam in his eyes. After a long time, he spoke:"I agree to your request, but I also have three requests!"

In fact, paper will be introduced to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty sooner or later, it is nothing more than a matter of one or two years. Besides, with paper, the control of the Five Surnames and Seven Families over the court can be disintegrated. This is a win-win situation.

"Just agree to it?"

Li Daozong and Cheng Yaojin were both delighted. They didn't expect it to be so easy. They thought that this negotiation would be very difficult.

"Ha ha...Look at what you said. Brother Li, as a businessman, you can come to me for the Tang Dynasty. If I, a prince, still hesitate, won’t you criticize me!"Li Kuan smiled calmly.

Righteousness is right, but it’s time to talk about business.

""Then I wonder what your request is?" Li Dao Zong did not lose his mind with joy, but continued to ask.

He cared about Li Kuan's request.

If it could not be met, everything would be empty talk.

Li Kuan did not waste time, and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat:"First, you can't tell anyone about Lingnan's affairs!"

Li Dao Zong nodded. Li Kuan had already told him about this matter several times.

"Second, I can provide technical training for papermaking and build a paper mill, but I want half of the share of your paper mill, whether it makes money or not, this half of the share must be mine, but I will also provide you with a new printing technology, of course... I also want half of the share!"

This time Li Dao Zong hesitated a little, but then he thought, if Li Kuan wanted to make money, he could sell the rice paper himself, wouldn't he make more money?

Now think about it, Li Kuan was very selfless to pass on the new papermaking technique to them, and now there is another printing technique.

How could he not agree!

Finally, he nodded and agreed.

"The last request is that you must ensure that the papermaking and printing techniques are not passed on to anyone except us!" Li Kuan said again

""Okay!" Li Dao Zong nodded again. As a prince, he could still promise this.

"Haha…Okay, when I return to Lingnan, I will draft a contract with you and take you to visit my paper mill and printing factory in Lingnan. But before that, how about you two go to Lingnan Port with me first?"

Li Kuan smiled, and the few of them settled the matter:"The tea is cold, serve tea!"

Li Dao Zong wanted to go back and have someone report the results of the negotiation to Li Shimin, but Li Kuan kindly invited them to Lingnan Port, and they couldn't refuse.

This was Li Kuan's original itinerary. If they refused, it might make Li Kuan unhappy. In the end, they could only nod and agree to go with Li Kuan all the way!

"Li Sanzong, right? How about coming to Lingnan? I'll let you be Liu Ming's deputy!"While chatting and laughing, Li Kuan suddenly asked this question.

Li Sanzong is a good person. As an imperial merchant, he actually wants to share the worries of the country and the people. Not bad.

If he is trained, he may be a great help.

Who is Liu Ming?

Li Daozong was a little puzzled, and he didn't know Liu Ming.

""Liu Ming manages the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, and our Wanbao Pavilion in Chang'an City is right under the Chamber of Commerce!" Cheng Yaojin reminded him softly in his ear.

Li Daozon then realized that his eldest nephew actually wanted to ask him to work for him. He smiled bitterly and said,"I'm afraid I'm failing your kindness, Your Majesty. I have no intention of coming to Lingnan yet. But I will seriously consider your words, Your Majesty!""

""Okay... I hope you can seriously consider it. Lingnan is short of talents!"

In this way, several people chatted until the evening, and everyone found a vacant land and camped in the open air.

This is also Li Kuan's rule. If you can leave the city without disturbing the surrounding counties or villages, then don't disturb them.

It's not that Li Kuan wants to travel light, but the people around are too enthusiastic. If they are surrounded, they can't go far in a day.

This kind of experience, once experienced, you don't want to have it again.

But the more he did this, the more grateful the people of Lingnan were.

"Is the prince always so simple? He doesn't even stay in an inn at night?"

Outside the carriage, Li Dao Zong sat by the campfire roasting a freshly caught rabbit, feeling a little puzzled and confused.

Logically speaking, if he governed Lingnan so well, shouldn't he enjoy the support of the people?

"Don’t you know that in the past, when our prince traveled, the people who heard the news came to worship our prince. There were so many people, so huge that you couldn’t see the end!" Zhao Xin described the scene of the Chu king’s tour last year. The magnificent scene was still vivid in his mind, but after he finished speaking, his eyes became more worshipful:

"But our prince was afraid of wasting money and labor, so from then on, he ordered that the prefectures and counties should not be notified for future tours!"

Hiss~

Li Dao Zong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. I'm afraid that even Li Shimin couldn't do this.

My nephew has the talent of a benevolent king!

In this way, Zhao Xin praised his own prince for half a night, and Li Dao Zong was stunned and blinked his eyes.

The next day,

Li Dao Zong continued to go to Lingnan Port with dark circles under his eyes. He didn't hurry on the way, just chatting and rushing on the way.

It was getting dark!

Everyone found that the cement road under their feet had widened again. Looking forward.

They saw a row of buildings, all of which were five-story small buildings made of bricks and stones. Looking further away, two large docks could be vaguely seen near the seaside.
