Chapter 193: Zhen Jiang is coming
Life in the palace is actually so boring and boring. Wake up early every morning, do morning exercises, and rest for about 30 minutes to start breakfast. Almost all day long, various training sessions were conducted, and a small battle was organized from time to time to maintain combat effectiveness.
Liu Tao has hardly been out of the palace, one is worried about all kinds of ghosts, and the other is that Luoyang is unfamiliar with life, and he is also worried about provoking someone.
When Liu Tao participated in the third court meeting, Zhu Jun's class returned to the court, and the Nanyang Yellow Turban was pacified, indicating that the Yellow Turban thieves in the establishment had been completely eliminated. Liu Hong took the opportunity to amnesty the world, and Liu Tao believed that it was mainly aimed at Cai Yong.
After all, Dong Zhuo is still guarding his Hedong Taishou now. This time, he didn't participate in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves at all, so naturally he wouldn't be defeated, and he didn't need to be pardoned. It's just that this also means that Dong Zhuo has more troops on hand!
The general of the right chariot, the doctor of Guanglu, and the marquis of Qiantang, as in history...... Liu Tao muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he was watching his nose and nose and his heart, and he was silent.
After the next dynasty, many people surrounded Zhu Jun. Liu Tao and Zhu Jun are not familiar with each other, although they both belong to Guangluxun, and the problem is that others still have the name of a right-hand cavalry general, and if they really meet, they have to call them a chief.
But after lying down and talking, it was actually a few words of greeting without nutrition. Everyone is deliberately acting close, but this closeness seems dry.
After leaving Nangong, the two parted ways, and after saying goodbye and turning around, the two left silently like strangers.
"General Zhu serves as a doctor of Guanglu, so he and Deran are also colleagues?" In the evening, Cai Yan came over to eat, and after the meal, he had to talk about the content of today's court meeting.
With her identity, she naturally can't go to court, and even if she is allowed, she won't dare to go up.
"There is suddenly an extra Shangguan on the head, obviously everyone is ranked more than two thousand stones, it is said that they are at the same level......" Liu Tao also took the opportunity to complain, "But who dares to snub the general of the right chariot, the Marquis of Qiantang?" ”
"Although you both belong to Guangluxun, but your responsibilities are different, as long as you don't deliberately provoke, it is estimated that there will be nothing." Cai Yan smiled and said with relief.
Since the last time he was invited over for dinner, Liu Tao has invited him from time to time. Cai Yan started half-pushing, and seeing that two weeks had passed, he seemed to be slowly getting used to coming as a guest.
She doesn't come over empty-handed, she usually brings pastries and caramel or something, which she makes at home. When Liu Tao received it for the first time, he said that he would treasure it as a family heirloom for the rest of his life. Cai Yan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said that he would eat it early so as not to spoil it.
Cai Yan seems to know a lot of snacks from Wu Yue's side, and I don't know if I learned it from Cai Yong's letters, or some other channel. But it is certain that she is really idle when she lives at home, otherwise she would not have time to think about this.
It is not excluded that it was done specifically for Liu Tao......
"Let's not talk about that ...... first," Liu Tao waved his hand, "Next week's holiday, the paper mill I invested in, the first batch of bamboo paper should have been made, do you want to go and see it together?" ”
"So fast?" Cai Yan was a little incredulous, in his impression, the production process of Cai Hou paper takes a long time to produce a batch of paper, but different batches of paper are being made one after another, so after the first batch of paper comes out, the second batch will be fast.
The problem is that in her impression, Liu Tao should use bamboo to make paper, and she should start from scratch.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, this batch is mainly low-end paper, the process is very crude, and even miscanthus is used as a raw material. The paper is gray, and the surface is a little wrinkled, and the uneven ......," Liu Tao introduced.
"What do you do with this paper?" Cai Yan thought it was very strange, even if the price would be low and it could be made in large quantities, it was estimated that no scribe would buy such paper.
After all, if you think about it, this thing is definitely not suitable for copying.
"No, this kind of paper should sell better than ordinary paper...... Liu Tao smiled mysteriously. Compared to the ultra-simple method of making bamboo paper he gave to the craftsmen, this is more crude.
Strictly speaking, this thing should be called clay paper, of course, when Liu Tao was a child, adults called it straw paper. To put it bluntly, that's 'toilet paper'.
What is the concept of using a toilet chip in the toilet, and if you have the conditions, you will buy a bundle back, which is actually a slice. Before Liu Tao crossed, he used it when he was a child in the countryside, and it was very hard and rough.
I've been here for more than a year, and I've been tossed by this thing, so I naturally want to be kind to chrysanthemums if I have the conditions. The key point is that the production process of this thing is relatively simple and easier to produce. Especially miscanthus is so cheap.
Of course, looking at the paper is just an excuse, the key is to find an opportunity to ask Cai Yan out.
"I haven't seen papermaking either, so it's ......nothing to go with you to see it," Cai Yan looked at Liu Tao, "It's just that since it's next week, why do you say it now?" ”
Today is the day of the moon, which is Monday, and this Monday will talk about next Sunday, which feels too early.
"Discovered?" Liu Tao said a little mischievously, "I wanted to talk about this week at first, but thinking that the paper should not be made so quickly, and I also felt that I had dinner together last week and last Sunday, so I was too worried that you would be embarrassed." ”
"Actually...... It's not so embarrassing......" Cai Yan suddenly became stunned when he heard this, and then became shy.
There are some things that must be admitted, that is, Liu Tao's craftsmanship is really good, so much so that she enjoys dinner time. Especially when he is off, Liu Tao has more time to cook, so the dishes are more hearty and delicious......
Of course, it wasn't for nothing, she also sent some pastries made by herself. Before the meal, I also helped to verify the books that had been copied before. Liu Tao may have no problem reciting it, but no one can guarantee that there will be no problems when transcribing.
is also idle, even if she comes home, it is empty, only her.
"Then this week's ......" Liu Tao finally showed his fangs, just said that, in fact, he did it on purpose.
"Wow, you're waiting for me right here, right? Actually teasing me, I ignore you! Cai Yan was not fooled in the end, he stood up directly, and ran directly towards the outside of the camp.
But he didn't want to take three steps, but Liu Tao's voice came from behind him: "Riyao has an appointment for dinner, don't forget it!" ”
"Humph!" Cai Yan didn't look back, snorted, and continued to leave.
"Brother, why did you annoy everyone Cai?" Lu Yan happened to be passing by, and when he saw this, he came to Liu Tao to ask.
"Which eye of yours is annoyed when you see her?" Liu Tao said with a smile.
"But ......" Lu Yan didn't understand, Cai Yan was just like that, wasn't he angry? After thinking about it, he simply didn't bother to care, so he changed the topic, "Brother, Zhen's side replied...... It is estimated that in just these two days, Zhen Jiang will come here with money. ”
"Huh?" Liu Tao was a little confused, "Zhen Jiang is coming?!" ”
