Chapter 136: Nowhere to Buy Paper

The old man's words benefited Shi Bin a lot, and he instructed Xiaoqin to buy ten catties of good rice paper with him the next day, and found Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and other calligraphy masters.

What made him feel helpless was that after three days of practice, he couldn't even write his own name well, and the word "Shi Bin" was written crookedly, like a tree with a crooked neck.

This can make him more and more bored the more he practices, and the more frustrated he becomes, and naturally he doubts the old man's words, after all, it is just his hearsay, and he has not experienced it personally.

In less than ten days, Shi Bin was deflated, although it was indeed not as boring as when he reviewed the official documents, but he did not achieve the purpose of cultivating his sentiment and improving his mood by practicing calligraphy.

It seems that this is impossible to achieve overnight, just eat snacks every day, and Shi Bin, who doesn't want to give up halfway, has made such a compromise.

Anyway, he has to approve dozens of official documents every day, and it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone with this practice. If you are still interested or have time, you will choose time to practice.

To Shi Bin's surprise, he had actually practiced very little calligraphy, but the ten catties of good rice paper were gone in less than half a month.

Xiaoqin was so anxious when she saw this situation that she jumped to her feet, and there was no good rice paper to sell in the shops selling pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in the city. Last time, I was scolded for not doing things well, and now it is estimated that things will be messed up again, won't I be scolded again?

When I was anxious, I saw the life-saving straw - Wang San. Without hesitation, she immediately ran over for advice.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Xiaoqin wants to ask you for a favor." Xiaoqin said with some pleading.

Few men like to listen to women's pleading, they only like women to be coquettish, so Wang San immediately said that Xiaoqin doesn't have to be like that, as long as he can do it, he will definitely help.

Although he knew that Wang San was a warm-hearted person and would probably help, he was completely relieved after hearing this.

"Lord Wang, my lord likes to practice calligraphy in recent days, but..." Xiaoqin said.

Like to practice calligraphy? This is a good thing, so why does Xiaoqin still cry so sadly? There must be something bad behind this 'but'.

"It's good to call Brother Wang, I've known each other for so long and still call me Lord Wang, and Big Brother feels uncomfortable. Since my eldest brother likes to practice calligraphy, why do you look like this? Practicing calligraphy is a good thing! Wang San asked suspiciously.

"Brother Wang, of course this is a good thing. But you also know my master's words, it takes hard work. The key is that there is no good rice paper to sell in this city now. Xiaoqin explained in embarrassment.

This news can make Wang San feel crying and laughing, there is no paper to buy in a huge Tanzhou city, isn't this a big joke in the world?

Xiaoqin is doing things safely and will definitely not be careless, so her words are eighty percent true, and as for this paperless purchase, Wang San still feels a little incredible.

So why? Wang San immediately asked, "Xiaoqin, of course I believe your words, but what is the reason why there is nowhere to buy paper?" Tanzhou City shouldn't be like this. ”

"Of course there is a reason, but I guess you already know the reason from my master, but you just didn't pay attention to it."

Already knowing, just not paying attention?

Wang San looked at Xiaoqin again, of course Xiaoqin would not be foolish, and said: "Brother Wang, you have seen the most bad news about water conservancy recently, right?" It is because of this spring flood that there is no paper to buy in the city. ”

It seems that it was because the flood washed away the road and bridge that caused this embarrassing situation, understanding this, Wang San smiled at this Xiaoqin very confidently, and said that he would definitely help her do this well.

In order not to make Xiaoqin feel indebted, he also thanked him first, the reason was that Xiaoqin's news gave him a good entry point to talk to Shi Bin about this issue.

After all, only this kind of thing that happens to oneself can make people feel impressed, and can make people feel the urgency and importance of it.

After thinking clearly, Wang San entered Shi Bin's study.

"Big brother, I met Xiaoqin in the corridor just now, I saw that he looked a little flustered, I guess there is something that hasn't been done well, I'm afraid you will reprimand."

What's not going to be done? This can make Shi Bin a little confused, in addition to asking her to buy a few catties of rice paper recently, it is just some work to serve tea and water, and they are all doing very well.

Is it to buy rice paper? This idea made Shi Bin feel absurd and uninhibited, it was too funny, it was not good to buy rice paper, was it still Xiaoqin?

"Big brother, you want Xiaoqin to buy rice paper for you to practice calligraphy, right? But now there is no good rice paper to buy in Tanzhou City. Wang San said helplessly.

This news can make Shi Bin feel incredible.

Knowing that the time had come to talk about business, Wang San continued: "Big brother, you know that this paper for practicing calligraphy is good, and it is not that those straw papers can be replaced, and the reason why I didn't buy it was because of the spring waterlogging. ”

Spring floods? Hearing this word made Shi Bin think of the stack of official documents he had obtained in his hand in order to hide from Wang San, almost all of which were related to spring waterlogging.

Either the river washed away the bridge, or the river overturned the boat, or the rain washed out the landslide and mudslide, in short, because the spring flood blocked the traffic, so that the things inside the city could not be transported, and the things outside the city could not be transported in.

The original reason is here, it seems that transportation is indeed very important, Sichuan is known as the "country of four stops" is not because of traffic jams?

"Big brother, we have to find a way to fix this road, and you must fix it." Wang San said very seriously.

Of course, it's right to repair the road, but it must be him Shi Bin who repairs the road, isn't it a bit too much?

Building roads is a matter of the state, and it needs to be funded, and it seems that it is not so easy for him to allocate funds in this Tanzhou city, not to mention that it is very likely that this will be a wedding dress for others at that time, and he will achieve the mediocre Liu Zhizhou.

"Big brother, don't be blind, I know you don't want to fulfill that Liu Zhenxiao, and you don't want to farm your own land and harvest it for others, but it's not impossible." Wang San said with a smile.

Of course, you can't be blind, but what is the reason why it's okay to make wedding clothes for others?

This time, Wang San didn't open his mouth to explain, but just smiled and pointed to the north.

Shi Bin looked north, which reminded him of the unreached agreement between Jia Rudao and Liu Zhizhou. Although Dingzhou is also only a state, it is higher than Tanzhou, so it is better to go there.

That Liu Zhizhou must really want to be promoted, but there is no merit to show it, if he Shi Bin makes some merits to top him, in this way, then Zheng Qingzhi has no possibility of provocation, when the mediocre official is gone, isn't Tanzhou ironclad his?

What's more, he is also happy to benefit the people, and besides, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if he wants to succeed, he really can't be small.

Those people will no longer be numb after this disaster, and they will definitely follow Shi Bin's call to actively participate in the construction of roads.

"Okay, let's discuss it when I think about how to do it." Shi Bin said affirmatively.

This is of course the best result, Wang San immediately said that he would immediately gather his subordinates to collect relevant information, see what is needed, and prepare as soon as possible.

Although he was very upset when he first heard the news that the spring flood had caused no paper to buy, he now found the benefits, which made him fully agree with the old man's statement: even bad things can have a good side.
