Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Sima Jincheng nodded again and again, and echoed from the side: "My cousin is right, Mr. Yun thinks more about me, so let's sell the secret recipe to my cousin."

"Such a thing that benefits the country and the people, even if you want to come to Yun Shizi, you will not refuse!"

Chu Zhangyang's dog legs also contributed to the flames, putting Yunhong on the moral high ground.

If Yunhong refuses at this point, I'm afraid they will label him as unpatriotic!

"Ah!"

Yunhong suddenly chuckled, nodded his head in agreement and said, "What the eldest prince and Mr. Sima said is very reasonable!"

"Um?!"

When Yu Wenming and Sima Jincheng heard Yunhong's words, their eyes lit up and they looked at Yunhong in surprise.

Originally, they all thought that Yunhong would refuse without hesitation, and they just wanted to use this matter to disgust Yunhong.

How did you know that the other party actually agreed directly!

Although they didn't intervene in this business, as long as they are not stupid, they know that this is definitely a profitable business!

"You agreed?!" Yu Wenming stood up in surprise. He was afraid that Yunhong would go back on his word, so he immediately said, "Just ask for a price, and we will deliver the money immediately!"

Obviously they want to take this opportunity to fully implement this matter, as long as Yunhong collects the money, then they will have a way to snatch the secret recipe of wine from the Yun family!

"Without money, since it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people, it is natural that the secret recipe must be released for free. Is this the only way to benefit the world?" Yunhong said with a smile, his lips raised slightly.

"free of charge?!"

Yu Wenming and Sima Jincheng looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion. They couldn't see what Yunhong was trying to do.

"Cousin, I feel that something is not right..." Sima Jincheng felt a little uneasy, he pulled Yu Wenming to the side and whispered.

"Let's see what he means first!" Yu Wenming said, pursing his lips.

"Yunhong, are you really willing to disclose the secret recipe for free?" Yu Wenming asked aggressively in front of Yunhong.

Even if Yunhong is forced to disclose it for free, at least the Yun family will not be able to taste the sweetness of this wine!

Yunhong stood up, did not answer directly, and looked directly at the words of Yu Wenming and Yu Wenming with a sense of irony, "I am very moved by the sincerity of the First Prince and Young Master Sima for the country and the people."

Yu Wenming frowned, only feeling that there was something in Yunhong's words, he stared at Yunhong, and he must give him an answer.

Yunhong changed his voice and continued: "Paper is a must-have item for scholars in my Da Yue Dynasty, but the paper is expensive in the market at the moment. If the technology is made public and more people know about papermaking technology, the price of paper will definitely drop!"

"At that time, there will definitely be more scholars in my dynasty. This is also a great thing for our dynasty to benefit the country and the people!"

Hearing Yunhong mention papermaking, Sima Jincheng felt a lump in his heart.

Right now, papermaking is the Sima family's biggest asset, and most of their financial resources depend on this papermaking book.

If the papermaking technology is announced, it will definitely be a huge blow to their Sima family, and even shake the foundation!

"Young Master Yun, you are joking..." A layer of cold sweat appeared on Sima Jincheng's forehead, and Yu Wenming's expression became tense.

"Yunhong, we are talking about wine, why bring this up?" Yu Wenming also asked nervously.

"I'm not joking!" Yunhong took a panoramic view of the expressions of the two, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, looked at them and said: "Wine is more beneficial to the country and the people, and paper is more beneficial to the country and the people." , since the First Prince is so interested in the world, why not make the papermaking technique public?"

"This papermaking technology is not my industry, how can I disclose it!" Yu Wenming pursed his lips and kicked the question out.

It is not convenient for him to respond to this question.

Yes, he definitely doesn't want to.

If he refuses, he will follow the truth again.

"That's right. This property belongs to the Sima family. What does Mr. Sima think?" Yun Hong nodded with a smile, looked at Sima Jincheng and asked.

"I, I..." The cold sweat on Sima Jincheng's forehead became worse, he really regretted it now, why did he bring up the topic of wine in such a good way, wouldn't it be good for them to say something casually?

Right now, being caught by Yunhong's sore feet, if he doesn't answer well, the Sima family's reputation will be damaged!

"I can...but I can't be the master of this matter. I have been practicing outside before, so I don't know about these mundane things!" Sima Jincheng stammered.

"It's okay, it's enough for the First Prince and Young Master Sima to have this intention to serve the country and the people. I'll go to the palace to report to the Emperor later that Young Master Sima and Young Master Sima intend to make paper books to benefit scholars all over the world!"

The corners of Yunhong's lips rose, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, both of you, my Yun family will also disclose the secret recipe of wine to the public!"

"No!" Sima Jincheng was afraid that Yunhong would really go to the emperor, he was afraid, and he didn't dare to bet, so he immediately refused.

The emperor has always coveted papermaking, just because it is a private technology of the aristocratic family, and he cannot force them to hand it over, otherwise all the aristocratic families in the world will oppose it.

After all, in these years, which aristocratic family has not mastered some exclusive secret recipe?

If the emperor sets this precedent, who knows if they will reach out to their house next time?

But the emperor couldn't use these technologies because the aristocratic family didn't let go. If it was because they let go, then the emperor would definitely not let it go easily.

At that time, even if they don't want to, they have to hand it over.

"Oh? Didn't the First Prince and Young Master Sima keep saying that they want to benefit the country and the people? Why are you unwilling to hand over the secret recipe while I am willing?" Yunhong asked sarcastically.

"Hey! This matter is none of my business! The papermaking technology is not in my hands, so I can't be the master!" Yu Wenming said immediately.

This pot of dirty water can't be poured on him.

Sima Jincheng knew that Yu Wenming was unwilling to get involved at the moment, and he was powerless to resist Yunhong's aggressive attitude, so he glared at Chu Zhangyang, telling him to quickly find a way to solve the predicament in front of him.

If his father and grandfather knew that the paper-making books at home were taken away by the emperor today because of him, his legs would probably be broken!

Chu Zhangyang knew that he couldn't back down right now. Once he backed down, he would definitely lose the two thighs of Yu Wenming and Sima Jincheng, so he immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Yun's words are wrong!"

Yunhong looked at Chu Zhangyang coldly, wanting to see what excuses he could say at this time.

He was really not afraid to hand over the secret recipe to the emperor, after all, the emperor had [-]% of the net profit of their business.

And even if others can make wine, there is no way to compete with their wine, Chu Zhuang has long been prepared for this.

But the Sima family is different. Once the papermaking technology is made public, the few of them will lose their monopoly position in papermaking technology, which is a fatal blow to them!

Such an aristocratic family, without a huge source of income, is like the foundation underneath being destroyed, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses.

"Paper is expensive because of its high cost, not because of its scarcity. Even if the papermaking technology is disclosed, the price cannot be lowered. Moreover, it is the private property of several major families. If it is not made public with other families, This is too unfair to other families." Chu Zhangyang was quick-witted and immediately made an excuse.

"Paper-making technology is expensive?" Yunhong thought of the paper-making technology mentioned by Chu Zhuang earlier, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Hey, this technology is privately owned by the major families, why must it be made public!"

Seeing that Yunhong continued to speak, Yu Wenming was afraid, so he quickly said: "We don't want you to disclose the secret recipe, we just want to buy the secret recipe, Yunhong, don't get me wrong."

"Oh? Didn't you just talk about benefiting the country and the people?" Yun Hong said lightly.

"It's all this Chu Zhangyang's nonsense!" Yu Wenming pushed all the faults on Chu Zhangyang.

Chu Zhangyang, the blamer, immediately bowed to Yun Hong and apologized to him: "The student is talking nonsense, please don't blame Yun Hong!"

Yunhong looked at the three of them mockingly, but he didn't want to continue entangled in this matter.

They continued to clutch the paper-making book, and he wanted to see how they died then!

"Do you still want to buy the secret recipe for wine?" Yunhong looked at them and asked.

Yu Wenming and Sima Jincheng quickly shook their heads and said, "I'm just kidding, this is the property of the Yun family, how can we get involved? I was just joking with you just now, why bother to be so serious?"

Yunhong sneered, looking at these people, he felt something was wrong.

Did Yu Wenming and the others really call themselves over to talk about wine?

……

Seeing Yunmengxi standing behind him looking bored, Chu Zhuang took out a tangerine from his purse, peeled it and handed it to him.

Yunmengxi likes to eat fruit, especially the fruit in the space, and it is not convenient to take out other things to Yunmengxi, but there will be oranges, so I don't have any worries.

"Huh?!" Seeing the yellow oranges, Yunmengxi's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out and took the oranges away from Chu Zhuang.

The two looked at each other, with a smile in their eyes that they understood each other.

Two servants who were in charge of serving the dishes came to Chu Zhuang's table with their trays. There was a large bowl of chicken soup on each of their trays, which was full.

"oops!"

The young servant near Chu Zhuang on the left suddenly twisted his feet and leaned forward, and a pot of chicken soup was poured towards Chu Zhuang.

Chu Zhuang was turning around to talk to Yunmengxi right now, and he didn't notice the movement behind him at all.

Because Yunmengxi was paying attention to Chu Zhuang, he didn't pay attention to all this.

Seeing that the pot of chicken soup was about to be poured all over Chu Zhuang's body.
