60. Situation

Han Erdan just spent two hours ordering all kinds of weapons for furnishings, and when he came back, he saw three rangers kneeling in front of the door of the martial arts hall, looking like they were bowing three times and knocking nine times, desperately wanting to join the martial arts hall, as if there was a supreme charm here that could attract them.

"This ......" The bewildered Han Erdan entered the door, pointed to the rangers who were still moving on the ground with their heads close to the ground, and cast a puzzled look at Han Yan and Feng.

"They want to worship me as a teacher, but I really don't know martial arts." Han Yan spread his hands in embarrassment, pulled up the collar on his chest, and fanned him twice and said, "Look at my thin body, even I am a weak chicken, how can I be qualified to teach others." ”

"......" Han Erdan was speechless.

When the hall master came back, Han Yan then persuaded the rangers: "I'm just a lecturer, I only reason and don't fight, the hall master is the one who really knows martial arts, if you want to apprentice, you should find him." ”

The three rangers raised their heads, glanced at Han Erdan, and then asked Han Yan again: "I don't know if the hall master has succeeded in building the foundation?" ”

"He is still in the realm of ordinary people, far from building the foundation, but it is enough to defeat ten enemies."

"Then we don't worship ......"

"Why?"

"If you don't have supernatural powers, you don't learn."

"......" Han Yan: "But I don't know how to be supernatural, and it's useless for you to worship me." ”

"The lecturer has a deep understanding of the true meaning of cultivation, the Tao is profound, and he understands the exercises and supernatural powers, if you can teach ......" The eyes of the three rangers were full of hope.

Han Yan had nothing to say, and he couldn't shirk it, the three of them knelt at the door, which had already attracted the attention of many passers-by, which was a bit too big - it was only the second day of opening, and it couldn't attract the attention of the people too quickly, otherwise the identity would be exposed, according to Meng's followers, if they want to chop off your arms and legs, it is more important to hurry up and calm down.

"In this case, I will accept the three of you as registered disciples, and give you the names Ah Yi to Ah San according to your age, the immortal road is long, don't be in a hurry, when you show sincerity, I will pass on your true skills."

Before Han Yan finished speaking, the three rangers were ecstatic, their heads slammed on the ground, and in the face of the temptation of cultivating immortals, they couldn't wait to worship Lecturer Han as the king of the day.

Seeing that the position of the senior brother was robbed, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and quietly tugged at Han Yan's shirt behind him, and said shyly: "Yan Shi...... Lecturer, the position of the elder brother...... I. ”

Han Yan rolled his eyes, and in order not to show his stuffing, he had to pretend to be forced to the end, pointed at the rangers and said, "You are a true disciple, and they are going to pay homage when they see you." ”

Ah Yi and the others are very good, as soon as they heard that the pig is the true legend, it must have a higher status than the registered disciple, so they hurriedly surrounded it and patted the sycophants, so that the pig enjoyed the nobility of the gangsters in the rivers and lakes.

As for the tuition fee for apprenticeship, Han Yan didn't say a word, and he didn't plan to continue to develop the disciples, just a few Luoyang locals called for it.

At noon, the old alley is deep and narrow, the stone slabs are clean and smooth, the wind is not in a hurry and blows slowly, the grass pokes its head out in the cracks in the corners of the wall, and the archway is located at the forgotten intersection, the years and wind and rain have worn away the scenery of their year, only the dotted handwriting remains. Children in old clothes are running around in the alleys, playing games that belong to childhood, and the old people are sitting on the street threshold with rice bowls eating and chatting, which is their story, the dusty wine of their youth, and it is becoming more and more mellow with the aging years.

Pig went to a nearby wine house to pack a table of delicious food, brought it back to the banquet for the new junior disciples, and on the way he was full of thoughts about when he could build a successful foundation...... Although he knew very well in his heart that Han Yan must be bragging, the faint hope of becoming an immortal still brought him a glimmer of hope and fantasy.

After a while, Han Yan put on a high-ranking master's appearance, looking at people who were squinting and looking down, and began to inquire about the news.

"I ask you to wait......" deliberately elongated the tone to attract the attention of Ah Yi and the others, "I heard that someone in Luoyang City has recently become rich because of papermaking, do you know the details of that person?" ”

"Papermaking?" Ah San was puzzled for a moment and said, "Isn't that the Ling Clan?" Luoyang is the only one whose family makes paper, and within half a year, it has become a luxury family. ”

"What is the origin of this Ling?" Han Yan frowned and asked.

"It is rumored to be the son-in-law of one of the Jiuqing, the Shaofu God, half a year ago he was unknown, even we rangers don't know that Luoyang still has his number, and then I suddenly heard that he was looking for Ziqian's family to borrow a huge amount of money, hire long-term laborers, buy slaves, build workshops, and then began to get rich, once the price of paper plummeted, accumulating a huge fortune, and then we were idle to find out his details, only to know that he was the son-in-law of the Shaofu God, and everyone was not surprised."

"Why not be surprised?" Pig asked.

"Is that surprising?" Ah Er was surprised for a moment and said: "Shaofu manages the papermaking department, and the god of Shaofu must know the secret recipe for papermaking, and it is not a big deal to copy a copy for his son-in-law, right?" ”

"Isn't that a big deal?" Pig stared, anxious for Han Yan.

"Of course it's not a big deal, Jiuqing is high and powerful, and his Majesty values it, paper represents amazing wealth in the eyes of us, but in Jiuqing's eyes, it is easy to get rich, whoever they want to get rich, who can get rich." Ah Yi answered Pig's question with the attitude that should have been such.

In his heart, power represents wealth, as long as he has the right, money is at his fingertips, as for the Shaofu paper that invented elm paper, everyone has not paid attention to him in their hearts, and there is no concept of intellectual property rights.

You created things, and I have the ability to use your things for my own use, and that's right.

Han Yan sighed, it's useless to talk about these things, inventions and creations are all tricks and tricks in the eyes of the rulers, can you still expect the people to understand copyright?

"What is the relationship between this Ling clan and the hero according to Meng?"

Ah Yi was puzzled: "Ling's and according to the hero? ”

Ah Er was confused: "It should be okay, right?" ”

Ah San shook his head: "I didn't hear any news from the two of you...... On the contrary, it was the Ling clan who became arrogant after becoming rich, bullied the people, robbed the people's daughters, and was encountered by the heroes. ”

"The two of them didn't cross paths?" Han Yan didn't believe it, he left Chang'an City with his front foot, and according to Meng Houfoot, he issued a wanted warrant, which is too much of a coincidence, right?

"It's true that there is no news coming out, but according to Daxia's recent Ranger Wanted Warrant, to avenge his nephew Ji Sang, this matter has caused a sensation in Luoyang City, if that servant Han Yan is outside the turtle, it's fine, as long as you dare to come to Luoyang, I will cut him into a stick." Ah San strained his mouth and slashed with a cross with a knife.

...... "Your uncle, Lao Tzu is in front of you, and he just kowtowed to Lao Tzu to worship his master, and he will cut your master, which is a big rebellion."

After taking a closer look, there are two problems in front of Han Yan now.

One is to face the pursuit of the rangers.

The second is to take Ling's papermaking workshop.

But we are weak now, and we are not familiar with the place in Luoyang, even if we take out the official seal of Shaofu paper, Luoyang Taishou may not offend the god of Shaofu because of you.

According to Meng's prestige in Luoyang, it is more useful to speak than Taishou, and even ordinary rangers who have no intersection are willing to chop up their siblings because of his words, and make enemies against the princes' heirs, once they show their identity, they will be hunted down, this trip to Luoyang is full of difficulties, and there is nothing to do in the face of the dilemma.

Seeing Han Yan frowning and pondering, looking very unhappy with his thoughts, the brothers looked at each other, not knowing where they had said the wrong thing to make the master unhappy.

Ah Sanxin had a lot of eyes, and put his head up to flatter: "Master, have you encountered a difficulty?" If you have any difficulties, why don't you tell us about ......"

"You guys?" Han Yan glanced at the three of them a little depressed, the shrimp soldiers and crabs will be three or two, relying on you to starve to death, and said angrily: "That Ling clan is rich and unkind, I can't get used to it, what can you do to bring him down?" ”

"Ling?" Brother is staggered.

If it was okay half a year ago, Ling was just an unknown person, and he could come to his yard to pull a bubble of, but now people have thousands of waists, thousands of helpers, and huge power, how can ordinary people afford to provoke him?

Ah San replied: "The master has taken a big look at us, and there are few people in Luoyang who can afford to provoke the Ling clan...... As for our ......" I had to laugh awkwardly.

"Oh?" Han Yan suddenly grasped the main point, and hurriedly asked, "Who is there in Luoyang who can bring down the Ling Clan?" ”

"There are quite a few." Ah Da took over the conversation and counted with his fingers: "Lord Taishou, Lord Duwei, the grain merchant Bai family, and according to the hero, can also afford to provoke the Ling family, Ling took the domestic servants on the street to rob the people's daughters, according to the hero alone in the face of the Ling's more than ten house slaves also dared to open their mouths to reprimand, Ling did not dare to fight back, and had to be respectful." ”

After a pause, he added: "Oh, by the way, there is also the freight division's family, the Ling family was able to get rich in half a year because the division family helped him transport goods to the counties of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Hmm...... Master? Han Yan stroked his chin, and had an idea in his heart, if he could meet with the people of the Shi family, and said that they would cooperate with the Marquis of Gong Gao to sell goods, he would be able to pull out the Ling Clan's paper selling channels, so that their sales would be greatly reduced, and if the paper could not be exported from Luoyang, they would not be able to compete with the Marquis of Gonggao.

Although you want to see it, you can't recklessly come to the door, let alone reveal your true identity, in case the Shi family has a friendship with Meng, or has a bad relationship with the Ling family, you will be trapped in the tiger's den, and become a dish sent to the door, and let others slaughter.

Compared with the Ling family, who has colluded with interests, there is no advantage in meeting with the Shi family, even if he takes out the identity of Gong Gaohou, he is not as heavy as one of the nine kings of the dynasty, any businessman wants a business partner with a background and a stable career, and the two parties compete for each other, so they will naturally weigh the benefits and disadvantages, and they are still worse than the Ling family.

As for worshipping the crown prince, he is a disciple of Prime Minister Wei Juan, and he has a deep friendship with King Yan and King Hejian, these are all empty words, and they can't be used as bargaining chips, and people won't believe it, just when you brag about yourself.

"It seems that I have been operating in Luoyang for a while, and I must let the martial arts hall have some fame before I can go to meet the people of the master's family, so as not to speak weightlessly and be underestimated." Han Yan thought so.
