The next day, Li Zhen and the three of them got up early, had breakfast (Li Zhen's habit in his previous life, in ancient times, two meals a day) came to the backyard, and asked the housekeeper to bring up all the people and prepared things.

Li Zhen first asked people to cut the bamboo into 30 centimeters long and one centimeter wide bamboo strips, and asked people to cut out a bamboo strip of the same length but a little wider, and took these two bamboo strips and asked the carpenter to do it according to such requirements, and then asked the carpenter to make a small hole more than two centimeters below each bamboo strip.

Li Zhen went to another room to open the white blank, cut the model himself, and asked the tailor to cut it according to the pattern

After the bamboo slices were air-dried, Li Zhen asked people to connect the thin fourteen pieces together and put slightly wider bamboo strips on both sides, let the craftsmen weld them together with copper, and glue the cut white cloth on one side of the bamboo strips, and then stick the other side when they are glued, so as to become a sixteen-gear fan. The sixteen-gear fan was the most popular one from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Let the steward leave these people on the farm and continue to make fans for him

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei put down their work when they heard that the things were made, and followed Li Zhen to the study. "I don't believe it. Guan Yu didn't speak, but his expression was already showing, things were too simple, they weren't worth a few dollars, but it wasn't good to hit Li Zhen's determination After all, he was hard enough these days.

Li Zhen saw their expressions and smiled: "Things are not worth a few dollars, but this thing can be popular all over the country as soon as it comes out, and it is not money that can replace it at that time." So I'm not counting on making money either. ”

"And what are you doing here?"

Li Zhen didn't explain: "When the time comes, we will know." ”

Li Zhen took fifty fans and wrote some poems on the fans in block calligraphy in the study, and wrote his name after writing a poem. Li Zhen picked up a fan and opened it a few times, laughing, this is the first step he has taken, using these fans to open up his fame

Luoyang City, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is large in scale and very prosperous, where there are high-ranking officials and nobles, rich businessmen, and talented people who want to study, and the best city that loves to play. News spreads the fastest here, and merchants from all over the world like to gather here, and everything is radiated from Luoyang.

On this day, a group of businessmen from Youzhou came to Luoyang, and the leader of this group of merchants came to Juxian Building with a few entourages carrying this box. Juxian Building not only has delicious food, but it is also a favorite place for many officials and rich second generations, talented people and beauties, of course, the fees here are definitely more expensive than other places.

The merchant leader came to Juxian Building and said a few words to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper got up and came to the high platform, "Everyone, today there is a batch of new items called folding fans from Youzhou, which are used to fan the wind and decorate themselves, and they are easy to carry. Let people take two fans and fan them coquettishly: "This fan is not all convenient, and there are some poems on it." After a pause, he said: "Well, there is a song (Chunxiao) on this (Chunxiao) spring sleep is not aware, and birds are heard everywhere." The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and the flowers fall to know how much. ”

"Good, what a poem! I haven't heard of this poetry attempt! But it is written vividly on a spring morning. A talented man on the first floor said to another

"Yes! Especially the sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall, think about it is a painting! ”

A maidservant girl in the room on the second floor said to a girl, "Miss, what do you think of this poem?" It's a good poem. "I think it's about the same, it's much worse than Miss, but Miss is known as the first talented woman in Luoyang." "Cui'er, don't talk nonsense." The young lady blushed and pretended to be angry

The shopkeeper almost looked at the discussion and said, "Well, I also wrote a poem on the other hand." "Quick, read it out and let's hear it." "Yes! I can't wait. “
