Even though Wang Jian only provides rice paper, paper is basically the largest expense of the Poetry Society.
For a poetry gathering with thousands of people, at least thousands of pieces of paper must be prepared.
Currently, good-quality rice paper costs 6 cents per piece.
The price of paper required for a poetry meeting can reach tens of thousands of yuan.
"Wang Xianhou, the number of participants in this poetry meeting is estimated to be more than 1,300, and nearly 5,000 pieces of paper will be required. This expenditure is not small." Doulu Kuan said about the scale of the poetry meeting come out.
"Can you think it through?" Doulu Kuan looked at Wang Jian's expression.
He was afraid that Wang Jian would agree to provide paper on a whim.
In the end, I couldn't get the money to buy paper, which caused the poetry club to go into trouble.
As the main person in charge of the Poetry Society, he, the Minister of Rites, would have to bear Li Shimin's wrath.
"Don't worry, Master Dou, 5,000 pieces of paper will be sent to the Ministry of Etiquette tomorrow." Wang Jian said with a smile.
When he came to Chang'an, he brought two carriages worth of rice paper, and the total number was estimated to be more than 10,000 pieces.
These two carriages of paper almost emptied the entire inventory of the papermaking test base.
"That's great!" Doulukuan slapped the table happily.
This young man is reliable in his work.
Doulu Kuan accepted the gift from Wang Jian and felt a little sorry.
"Wang Xianhou, you have made such a great contribution to the court, but do you want me to solve something for you?" Doulu Kuan asked tentatively.
Dou Lukuan guessed that Wang Jian wanted something from him.
But he obviously overthought it.
The reason why Wang Jian wanted to sponsor the rice paper used in the Poetry Club was because he fell in love with literati from various states and counties, in order to promote the rice paper in Majiazhuang.
This is an excellent advertising opportunity.
Once Majiazhuang rice paper is sold, it will quickly detonate the Datang market.
As for the conditions, Wang Jian currently has nothing to do that requires help from the Ministry of Rites, so it is better to let him write down this favor.
"Master Dou, this official is also a member of the Ministry of Rites. He just wants to contribute to our Ministry of Rites." Wang Jian shook his head and said with a smile.
Hearing that Wang Jian had no request, the smile on Doulu Kuan's face became even brighter.
"Wang Xianhou is really a noble and upright person, and he is worthy of being the future star of my Ministry of Etiquette!" Doulu Kuan praised him while stroking his beard.
This young man is incredible. He took out 30,000 yuan without blinking an eye, which shows how rich he is.
If the Ministry of Rites had more such generous subordinates, I would laugh out of my dreams.
"Master Dou, I'll take my leave first and go back to prepare." Wang Jian stood up and said goodbye.
"I'll give it to you."Lu Kuan also stood up and sent Wang Jian out of the door.
After leaving the Ministry of Rites, Wang Jian went to the Ministry of Works.
Tuntian Division.
An unexpected guest came today.
He is Shen Youyu, a member of the field service, and Wang Jian’s immediate boss.
During spring plowing, he was sent to Hedong Road to guide farming and help the people affected by the disaster there.
When he returned to the Farming Department today, another farm manager honestly reported to him on the recent work situation, but the newly appointed subordinate did not come.
Moreover, he waited for more than an hour at the office of the Tuntian Secretary, but the new boss still had not arrived.
This made his whole face turn purple with anger.
"What did your chief do? Why hasn't he come on duty at this time?" Yuanwailang Shen Youyu clasped his hands behind his back, his face full of anger.
Faced with the questioning from Yuan Wai Lang, all of Wang Jian’s men trembled.
Wherever Mr. Wang goes, they little shrimps can’t care.
Moreover, Mr. Wang holds many positions, so how can he stay here in the Tuntian Division every day.
"Sir Yuanwailang, Mr. Wang will come to the Tuntian Division every day to guide us in our work. Maybe there are other important matters before this meeting." Dongzi replied timidly.
"Master Wang wears many hats and is quite busy on weekdays. He must be busy with other things."
"Master Yuanwailang, wait until Master Wang arrives, and then I will go." Let me tell you, what do you think? ”
They have a good impression of Wang Jian, he is gentle and humble, and they don’t like to show off their authority like other stewards.
Although his ability is obviously not very good, he has to give long speeches and point fingers at them.
"What important tasks does he, a small farm manager, have?" Shen Youyu frowned.
"I think he doesn't want to do this bastard anymore. Let's see how I deal with him when he comes!"
"If he doesn't come over to me, I'll let him eat it." No need to walk around!”

Shen Youyu roared ferociously.
As the second uncle of the well digging department, offending him will definitely not end well.
He obviously didn’t know that Wang Jian held multiple positions and was granted a title.
The last boss was forced to leave because he committed a trivial matter.
Originally, Shen Youyu wanted to promote a relative to be the chief, but he did not expect that this spot was taken by someone else.
This made him very angry, and he also became hostile to this new boss.
"How are you going to deal with me?"
Wang Jian's face was expressionless as he slowly walked in from the door.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the Tuntian Division, I heard a person yelling inside.
After listening to two sentences, it turned out that they were directed at myself.
Hearing the disrespectful words behind him, Shen Youyu's face became even more angry.
He turned around with a curse.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned for a moment.
Damn it, the young man in front is wearing a purple robe!
Seeing Wang Jian come in, all the field officers shouted respectfully in unison.
"Master Wang!"
When Shen Youyu came, they didn't shout so enthusiastically.
"Go and do your work." Wang Jian waved to them with a very calm expression on his face.
Walking up to Shen Youyu, Wang Jian raised a sneer on his lips.
"I am Wang Jian, the new head of the field. Mr. Yuanwailang, how are you going to deal with me?"
A layer of sweat broke out on Shen Youyu's forehead.
He really couldn't imagine that an eighth-grade chief could actually be a marquis.
Whose son is this?
I haven’t heard of hereditary titles recently!
After a moment of panic, he quickly regained his footing.
He has a relative who is an important minister in the court. Although he does not move around at ordinary times, it does not prevent him from pretending to be powerful.
Moreover, as a sixth-grade farming officer, his official position is not low.
His immediate boss, Tuntian Langzhong, is old. He is expected to be promoted in the next two years and take full charge of the Tuntian Division.
Tuntian Langzhong is a fifth-rank official with real power, and is not an ordinary marquis.
Thinking of this, Shen Youyu's back straightened up again.
"Master Wang, do you know what time it is now?" Shen Youyu frowned and said, his tone was not as sharp as at the beginning.
Without waiting for Wang Jian to speak, he pointed at the sun outside and said in a scolding tone.
"It's almost noon and you're so late. I'm going to sue you for dereliction of duty!"
He is very smart and has a businesslike tone.
Even if it comes to His Majesty, no one can accuse him of suppressing his subordinates.
I thought Wang Jian would surrender to him, but I didn’t expect Wang Jian to look at him teasingly.
"Yuanwailang, you haven't even understood the matter yet, so you're getting angry here."
"We can't get along well with each other. Why do we have to suppress this?" A move?"
After hearing Wang Jian's merciless words, Shen Youyu's expression also changed.
"Haha, don't think that just by wearing a purple robe, you can do whatever you want."
"Just wait, I'll have you packed up and gone soon!"
p>
Shen Youyu pointed at Wang Jian’s nose and yelled, and after finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves angrilyWalk out the door.
There is someone above him, and he is still in charge, who is afraid of whom.
Wang Jian looked at his back and his expression became cold.
Although he didn't want to cause trouble, he was concerned about such a boss who was bossing around and affecting his career.
It was impossible to keep the official hat on his head overnight.
He must be removed!
