Chapter 16 Paper Cutting(1/2)

Li You was still forced to teach a group of students. After all, even Fusu had taught the people several lessons personally, so he still had to work as a single girl who mastered the unique skills of castrated pigs.

It was not until a group of castrated pig masters were taught that Li You truly got out of this matter.

However, things are far from as simple as they appear. Some things end openly, but in fact they are the beginning.

I don’t know who started the first one, but many people began to call Li You the ancestor of the castrated pigs. In the future, those who want to fatten the pigs must think of Li You’s goodness.

People are very simple now. When everyone says this, they naturally shout it.

After a while, the name was passed back to Xianyang, and naturally many people discussed it privately.

Li Si accidentally heard several discussions from others and wanted to go up and stop drinking, but felt embarrassed, so he had to bypass the other party and go home.

After several times, Li Si felt that what Li You did was not decent. He didn’t practice riding and shooting well. What kind of castrated pigs would you learn?

Li Si immediately wrote a letter to scold Li You.

Li You learned from Li Si what was said in Xianyang, and his face was darker than usual.

Fusu was very concerned about his friends, so he couldn't help but find some free time to ask Li You what troubles he had encountered.

Although the incident started because of Fusu, these things really had nothing to do with Fusu. Li You didn't think it was Fusu who cheated him, so he could only say: "It's nothing, it's just that my father is not very satisfied with me."

Fusu thinks that Li Si has great requirements for his son. Li You is obviously both civil and military, so what are you dissatisfied with?

Fusu still can't think about it.

As a friend, he has to solve his problems for his friends!

That night, Fusu sat under the lamp and wrote a letter to Li Si. The letter mainly described Li You's diligence and hard work, and talked about how good he was in riding and shooting and how exquisite his sword skills were. He also said that although Li You wanted to join the army, he also learned cultural courses very well, and now he can discuss many literary works with them.

When they are idle, they will play the piano, dance the sword together, taste tea and write poems, and cultivate their sentiments.

No matter how you look at it, these are all great young people with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness. How can you not be very satisfied?

Fusu also said earnestly that children should not be forced too hard to educate them, but should be encouraged and blamed less, so that they can grow into men who stand tall.

If they belittle them and scold them for a long time, they may become unconfident and even become inferior. If they cannot see their own strengths, they will naturally not be able to use their strengths...

Fusu wrote a long letter, but did not hand him over to Li You the next day, but sent him to Li Si's house in Xianyang quickly.

After communicating with his friends' parents, Fusu put down his thoughts and pulled Li You to learn the piano with Zhang Liang.

In fact, Han Fei plays the piano better, but Han Fei has to be busy with the affairs of the school, so they can ask questions occasionally. They can explore the basics themselves.

Fusu used to be good at piano, but after living a lifetime, he still has to learn what he should learn. After all, in addition to talent, he also has to practice diligently, and it is impossible to learn out of thin air.

Fusu asked Zhang Liang to take him and Li You into the game.

Although Li You is dedicated to martial arts, he is also Li Si's son. He has learned some basic skills before, and it is quite easy to get started.

Unfortunately, Fusu soon came from behind.

Fusu has a good memory. You never have to teach things that Zhang Liang has taught once again, and you never have to read the music score you have seen once again.

Li Youwangchen is beyond the reach of this point.

In less than half a month, Fusu was able to "master" many piano music.

But he is still young and has little strength. He can't play the tunes that are too exciting, and most of the songs he learns are quite gentle and drizzle.

In contrast, Zhang Liang can play more songs. Occasionally, Li You teaches Fusu to practice swords, so Zhang Liang will carry out the piano to cheer up. Most of the songs are sonorous and loud, and Fusu is envious and he doesn't say anything. He is more comfortable when practicing swords.

Compared to the harmonious coexistence between Fusu and the other two, Li Si was not in such a wonderful mood when he returned home from the yamen that evening.

As soon as Li Si entered the house, he saw his youngest daughter Li Shanghua sitting there waiting for him with a letter in her arms.

As soon as she saw him come back, the little daughter's eyes immediately lit up and she shouted happily: "Dad, Brother Fusu's letter!" After that, she got up and ran to Li Si, opening her hand to ask Li Si to hug her, obviously wanting Li Si to hug her and read the letter together.

Although Li Si didn't know how Fusu wrote to him, he did not refuse his daughter's request.

He carried his daughter into his arms and took out the letter that Fusu sent him.

Li Shanghua didn't know much, and it was a bit difficult to recognize him. Li Si read most of the letter, and she was still competing with the beginning.

After reading the first paragraph carefully, she turned to Li Si and said, "Brother Fusu is exaggerating your brother!"

Li Si has finished reading Fusu's "child-raising skills".

Fusu said that his father shouldn't scold his son, so he has to praise Li You so much!

Just reading this letter, those who don’t know think it’s two fathers sharing their experiences in raising children.

It is said that Fusu has an immortal who teaches dreams and knows everything earlier than others. Could it be that the immortal is still idle and has nothing to do to teach Fusu to raise his son?!

Li Shanghua saw that Li Si's face was a little dark, then looked at Fusu's letter seriously, and asked in confusion: "Are Dad unhappy?"

Li Si rubbed his daughter's head and said, "No." Seeing that his daughter wanted to take the letter away quietly, he mercilessly put it away and let his daughter play with it.

Although he intended to let his daughter marry Fusu, he did not intend to let his daughter miss Fusu so much early.

Girls should be more reserved, too proactive and seem unloved, and are easily despised.

Although Li Shanghua was a little disappointed, he did not make a fuss and went to play with it.

The next day, Li Si went to court and was summoned by Ying Zheng alone. The king and his minister discussed political affairs for a while, and then Ying Zheng asked inadvertently: "Did Fusu write to you yesterday?"

When Li Si was asked by Ying Zheng, he immediately recalled Fusu's earnest letter.

Is it appropriate for you to say this to a child with a young age and a half, and you still say such things to the fathers of several children?

He only wrote a letter to scold Li You after hearing some comments, but he was not as diligent as Li You, and he was not easy to learn!

Li Si knew that Ying Zheng asked this, and must have wanted to know what Fusu wrote to him, so he didn't hide it and repeated the contents of the letter to Ying Zheng.

Of course, he also brought the reasons he inferred: because he felt that Li You became a "catmaster of the castrated pig", so he wrote a letter to scold Li You!

When Ying Zheng learned that Fusu was protecting his friend, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with this title? If it's confirmed by the end of the year that this method is really good, I have to ask your child to come back to teach the people of Xianyang."

Li Si: "…"

Li Si felt that his son might really become the founder of the castrated pig.

Ying Zheng had no intention of taking care of Li Si's mood at all.

He just knew that Fusu had written a long letter to Li Si, and was a little curious about what was written in the letter.

Nowadays, the father and son communicate with each other a lot. Fusu is very attentive in his study and his reading experience is quite consistent with Ying Zheng's wishes. He occasionally writes about his experiences in Yunyang County in the letter.

When Ying Zheng was idle, he would take a look at Fusu's daily life recorded by the people below. He would occasionally reply to Fusu's study progress and take the exam. He calculated that he had come and go.

It is precisely because of this that Ying Zheng cares about what Fusu wrote to Li Si and talked about.

When Ying Zheng was in a good mood when he learned that Fusu wrote to Li Si, he said happily: "Fusu is right, don't be so strict with your Dalang."

After saying that, Ying Zheng shared Fusu's study progress with Li Si, saying that although the child was not around, he didn't ask anyone to stare there, but he still worked so hard in his study. Recently, he has been reading a batch of books seriously.

It can be seen from this that smart and sensible children do not need to be too harsh, and they will naturally work hard to improve themselves!

What can Li Si say? Li Si doesn't want to say anything, but he still has to praise him: "How many children in the world can be as smart and premature as young masters?"

Ying Zheng was satisfied and let Li Si go to his own affairs.

...

At the end of July, it was autumn in Yunyang County, and Fusu hired people to collect reeds.

People are busy every day in the papermaking workshop, and several batches of paper are released one after another, but the quality of the finished products is different. Fusu personally watched the entire process and made up for the tools used for papermaking in turn.

After several rounds of exploration, the papermakers in the workshop have basically mastered the work they are responsible for. As soon as the raw material pool is empty, new raw materials will come in.

While ensuring that the craftsmen are energetic and physically strong, papermaking workshops have been producing this new thing called "paper" almost continuously in the past few months.

After more than two months of preparation, batches of paper that are evenly thick and as white as snow are about to be released!

It can be said that next is not only the harvest period for crops, but also the harvest period for papermaking workshops!

Autumn is the season for reed harvesting. This kind of weed is not very useful. It is easy to grow all over the mountains and fields, and it is very easy to collect.

Although bamboo grows fast, it cannot be cut all year round. Fusu intends to let bamboo paper makers explore the use of reeds, wheat straw and other materials from the autumn harvest as raw materials.

The paper quality may be worse than bamboo paper, but the advantage is that the raw materials are everywhere, which can allow the bamboo forest to take a breath and grow Hsinchu well.

Fusu asked Huaicai to pay papermakers a wage, asking them to use up the bamboo they had received and go home to reunite with their families for a few days, and then look back to figure out how to make reed paper.

After getting a wage that seems very generous to the craftsmen, the craftsmen are even more excited to do their work.

Soon, white paper was cut out one by one from the papermaking workshop.

On the first day after the qualified finished product was released, Zhang Liang and others were taken to the papermaking workshop to look at paper.

They can't see the process of production, and what they can see are white paper hanging high.

The paper was white and neat, and at first glance, you would think it was the white veil hanging there.

When you get closer, you will find that the "white gauze" is much harder than silk.

Zhang Liang and Han Fei were in a heavy mood under a white paper as wide as the entire wall.

Li You stood aside from afar, his eyes falling on Zhang Liang and the others from time to time, obviously staring at them and not allowing them to spy on papermaking secrets.

Fusu wasn't worried much.

Every process in the papermaking process is explored through millions of experiments by countless craftsmen. Even if someone finds out the specific papermaking process or poaches a few craftsmen, it is impossible to imitate the same papermaking workshop in a short period of time.
