Lin Zhihuang also noticed that everyone had misunderstood, so he coughed, separated a bunch of rolls of paper in his hand, and handed one to several people around him, drawing everyone's attention away from Sui Bianhong.

After Wen Nanfang took the paper from Lin Zhihuang's hand, he carefully rubbed the surface of the paper with his fingers, and then commented in a calm voice: "This paper looks whiter than the gray and dark 'cotton silk'

.”

Bian Hong then took the paper and forgot about what had just happened. He raised the paper in his hand and looked at the light coming from the window for a long time. He said lazily: "More than that, the surface of this thing is

Smooth and tight, it should be compared to 'flour silk' that gathers ink, so it is a top-grade writing material."

Guan Fuqing was more pragmatic. He turned around and walked back to his writing desk, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and then said in surprise: "The writing is smooth, and it is indeed easier to collect ink than 'flot'. Good thing! Good thing!"

Yang Xitong flicked the thing in his hand with his fingers, and listened to the crisp rustling sound it made. He couldn't put it down and couldn't put it down. For a moment, he forgot about the unpleasantness of wearing shoes in the morning, and said with bright eyes: "This is

The thing looks soft, but it has a strong and uncompromising strength, which is actually a good thing. Anyone who is a scholar will definitely be happy when they see this thing."

Shu Kongru saw that the capable people gathered around Lin Zhihuang all spoke highly of the paper, and his face was filled with pride. He said excitedly: "This paper is very beautiful to write on. Scholars who get this thing will definitely know how to write."

Throw away the 'cloth' like worn-out shoes."

Once this thing comes out, it will definitely be sought after by scholars all over the world. It is also a consumable thing, and the wealth will definitely increase.

Later, it was time for Shu Kongru to show his true talent to the lord. He wanted to become the lord's money bag.

Lin Zhihuang handed out papers to several of his men, then turned around and walked back to the desk where he sat down. He called the servants around him to get some ice water, and then listened quietly to several other people in the study discussing with each other while holding papers.

Come on.

Shu Kongru presented the paper to Lin Zhihuang and received Lin Zhihuang's praise. At this time, he saw Lin Zhihuang walked back to the front seat and sat down. Only then did he carefully observe the other people in the study. Unexpectedly, he discovered that this group of people worked together.

In the big study room, there are more assistant faces.

Sui Bianhong noticed that Shu Kongru was sizing him up, and he lazily put down the paper he was holding up for a closer look, turned around and nodded to Shu Kongru in a free and easy manner, very modest and polite.

Shu Kongru saw that Sui Bianhong's handsome and magnificent face was different from his elegant and immortal Wennan demeanor. Without thinking too much, he knew that this person must be from a high-class family. A poor family with no background would not be able to cultivate such an appearance and temperament.

people come.

Shu Kongru's eyes narrowed slightly, Lord, the speed of recruiting talents should not be underestimated. It seems that he, Shu Kongru, must make some achievements as soon as possible to avoid being deprived of the master's responsibility by latecomers.

gaze.

Shu Kongru thought so in his heart, and nodded slightly to Sui Bianhong, which was regarded as saying hello. At this time, the attendant followed the order of Lin Zhihuang and brought ice water and presented it to Shu Kongru.

"Liu Qing, we've been traveling all the way. It's very hot outside, so we'd better drink a bowl of ice water first to cool down the heat before we talk in detail." Lin Zhihuang smiled and said to Shu Kongru, who bowed his head.

Shu Kongru was so moved that he thanked Emperor Lin Zhi with his hands. He then took the ice bowl presented by the attendant and drank it in one sip. Only then did he feel that his throat that was about to smoke was relieved.

"Brother Shu, how much does this cost?" Wen Nanfang rubbed the paper with his fingers. Seeing that Shu Kongru had used ice water to wipe away the hot sweat on his forehead, he asked slowly.

"Extremely low. The cost of making 'cotton' today is thousands of times that of this thing. Moreover, the raw materials for making 'paper' are easy to obtain. It is not as good as 'flounder', which requires silkworm cocoons to be bleached and the quantity is limited. Paper is compared to 'flounder'

'It can be produced continuously." Shu Kongru couldn't hide the excitement in his voice.

After Bian Hong, Guan Fuqing and Yang Xitong heard this, they were a little unbelievable. In their opinion, this thing was much more beautiful and useful than the yellowish, darker, easily wrinkled and easy-to-fold 'cloth'.

I didn't expect the cost to be so low.

"Good things! Good things!" Guan Fuqing was the first to react, his eyes narrowed with a smile, his face glowing red.

"We have money, we have money!" Yang Xitong, who is also a drummer, cheered repeatedly.

Because Lin Zhihuang is now aggressively installing waterwheels for the people in Lixian County for free, Lixian County's current finances are already somewhat stretched.

Yang Xitong and Guan Fuqing were in charge of government affairs and had long been worried about this matter. However, Lin Zhihuang had sworn to tell them that there was a solution, so they could not rush to ask questions, so they were particularly concerned about financial matters.

Heart.

At this time, the lord has something like paper in his hand, so what worries does Lixian County have about its finances?

Wen Nanfang was very stable. Amidst the congratulations, he softly reminded Lin Zhihuang: "Although this thing is good, it is not appropriate to expose it at this time. With the current power of the lord, it is not possible to truly guard this thing."

Object."

Lin Zhihuang turned his attention to Wen Nanfang, and was a little confused as to why Wen Nanfang would speak out against what they had agreed upon before: "Now, I am still hidden under the influence of King Lu. King Lu has many troops and acts domineeringly.

, no one will easily provoke him and take this thing by force."

Wen Nanfang shook his head, met Lin Zhihuang's eyes calmly, and said solemnly: "What if the person who comes to rob is King Lu?"

Previously, Wen Nanfang heard Lin Zhihuang describe "paper" as a substitute for "cotton". Since he had never seen the actual object, he only knew that the raw material for making this thing was bamboo, which is easily available. It was not as good as the raw material for making "cotton".

Silkworm cocoons are precious.

Therefore, Wen Nanfang had always thought that although this thing was made to replace "flour", the quality should be much inferior to "flour". Therefore, he only regarded it as an inferior thing, only for making money.

It can also be used by those poor families to write things.

He didn't expect that when paper was made, the finished product would be so much beyond his expectation.

Wennan is both happy and worried.

When Guan Fuqing heard Wen Nanfang's words, he also looked away from the paper, calmed down slightly, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wen is right, this thing is different from the waterwheel. The waterwheel is located on the same ground.

, everyone in the world believes in seeing, so if it is not deliberately promoted, it will be difficult to spread it, because most people have never seen the actual waterwheel, and even if they hear rumors, most of them will not believe it."

Yang Xitong was also awakened, his enthusiasm subsided a little, he put down the paper in his hand, nodded and added: "However, paper is different from the water wheel. It is a daily use and a beautiful thing. If it is sold on a large scale, it will spread

The speed of the drive will be very fast, and it will be impossible to hide it from others, let alone King Lu."

When Lin Zhihuang saw all three of his men saying this, he began to ponder.

Sui Bianhong also spoke at this time, and said in a lazy voice: "This thing touches people's hearts. Anyway, if Sui sees this thing, he will do whatever it takes to find out the source of this thing and make it his own."

of."

As soon as Bian Hong said these words, several people raised their heads and looked at him.

When Sui Bianhong saw everyone watching, he spread his hands and said, "What Sui is telling is the truth, but he is just comparing himself to himself. Why do you think of Sui so much?"

Wen Nanfang stood beside Sui Bianhong at this time: "Senior brother is right. My lord, don't underestimate the greed of powerful people. It ranges from princes, kings and aristocratic families to wealthy squires and bandits. Whenever they see something good, they will definitely

If we don’t give up, we will find endless ways to use disgusting methods.”

Seeing that Lin Zhihuang was silent, Bian Hong added casually: "You may be exposed to others prematurely because of this. Now that you have not yet achieved great power, you have this thing in your hand. If others discover it, you will only

It will attract others to attack and hasten your destruction, so please be careful and don't take it lightly."
