Time passed smoothly, but that didn't stop it from leaving quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the blink of an eye, it was half a month of quiet and silent flow.

In the past half month, the general trend of the world is not surging, but it is still moving forward with a steady pace.

Cao Cao's army approached the city of Pi and besieged it for several days. Lu Wenhou is also worthy of being a famous general in the world, even in such a predicament, he can still resist Cao Cao's attack.

Xiapi is the capital of Xuzhou in the end, and the city is high and thick, even Cao Cao's tens of thousands of elite soldiers have no good way to take this city for a while.

In addition, the chaos in the city of Xudu does not know why there is a tendency to intensify. Originally, the contradiction between the two gangs of Xicheng Yulong and Donghe was a well-known thing. But at this time, it was not only Xicheng that was in chaos, but the entire Xudu City.

In this case, Xu Du County Ling Manzhong can only send people to stabilize Dongcheng first, and as for the rest of the three places in the southwest, north and south, you can see scolding officials every day.

But it is also strange to say that although there are always people who fight, they do not dare to be presumptuous in front of the officials, and most people can only blame this situation on the fact that Manboning is too powerful, and no one dares to challenge his authority.

But he didn't think about it at all, if it was really because of Man Boning, how could he dare to fight like this?

In this case, I don't know where else came out. This news sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it came out of all corners of Xudu City without warning.

Then, at a speed like a violent wind, it spread outward.

The chaos in the entire Xu Capital City seemed to have been slightly restrained because of this news.

……

……

In the teahouse restaurant, this news is like a weed after the spring rain, growing aimlessly and wildly.

"You know, I heard that there seems to be a new kind of paper producing ...... now."

Before he finished speaking, someone on the side interrupted with a sneer: "What does this kind of thing have to do with us, the price of paper is so high, even if you and I are scholars, we can't afford such a luxury." ”

"Could it be a better hemp paper?"

"What's the use of hemp paper, it's not as comfortable as bamboo slips."

"I heard that it doesn't seem to be hemp paper, but a new type of paper that can be compared to Caihou paper and Zuobo paper."

"Surely the price is not low, right? How can we afford such a good thing? ”

"I heard that it doesn't seem to be high, but unfortunately I don't know where I can buy it."

"Don't dream, if you can really compare with Cai Hou paper and Zuo Bo paper, the price can be low??? Isn't this a ridiculous thing to do? ”

"It is said that the cost of this new paper is relatively low."

Someone sneered: "Then you should come up with evidence, if there is really such a paper, I Zhang Jingye will be the first to buy it!" There was clearly a skeptical flavor in the words.

"Well, I've heard about that, too." However, at this time, suddenly a diner in his thirties and forties, flicking his beard, interjected.

"You've heard that, too?"

"That's kind of credible......."

This man is an elder here, and he is highly respected, and his words are quite credible. So the eyes of those present became a little hot.

But no one noticed that in a corner of the restaurant, a figure left the restaurant with a solemn look on his face.

It was also at such a time that the two people sitting in the private room on the second floor had smiles on their faces.

"In the end, Zihang, you are clever, this person from the Zuo paper mill will really come over to inquire about the idea of paper."

The two people in this private room are Lu Ye and Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen looked at the person who left quietly at the door of the restaurant, with a look of admiration on his face. Before, Lu Ye told him that the Zuo family would definitely send someone to investigate, but Cao Zhen was a little unimpressed at that time, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Lu Ye didn't think it was so strange: "This piece of paper is where the Zuo family makes a living. If you suddenly learn that other people can also make paper, and the price is so much cheaper than theirs, you will be in a hurry. ”

"Huh...... Look at that person, I seem to have seen ...... in the Zheng family. ”

When Lu Ye heard this, his expression changed: "Zheng family? Which Zheng family? ”

"It seems to be a branch ...... of the Zheng family in Beihai."

Beihai Zheng family?

A name immediately flashed in Lu Ye's mind - Zheng Xuan. Beihai Zheng Xuan, the great Confucian in the world, but how could the Zheng family come over?

"Could it be a coincidence?"

Lu Ye shook his head slightly, and then seemed to understand something, and couldn't help laughing: "Zidan, this time our goal can be regarded as achieved!" ”

Cao Zhen was a little dazed, and he didn't know why Lu Ye was so happy.

Lu Ye explained: "Isn't our original purpose to let those families and merchants in the entire Xudu City know about the birth of a new type of paper. The Zuo family is just the force we want to see the most, but now the branches of the Zheng family in Beihai have coveted this papermaking technique. Isn't it even more proof of the potential of this papermaking technique? ”

When Cao Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he nodded fiercely: "Zihang, what you said makes sense!" ”

Lu Ye then stood up and said to Cao Zhen: "Now, it should be time for us to go to Sikong Mansion." ”

"Hmm." Cao Zhen nodded.

Going to Sikong Mansion was a step in their plan.

It's just that Cao Zhen still has some doubts: "Zihang, how can you guarantee that Lord Sikong will definitely agree?" ”

Lu Ye said: "We have created a momentum for so long, and the entire Xu Capital City can receive such a news, then Lord Sikong must have also received it." ”

"As long as Lord Sikong has curiosity about such a new type of paper in his heart, then I have a way to ask him to help." Lu Ye's heart was full of confidence.

Although Cao Zhen didn't know where Lu Ye's confidence came from, he also had an unfounded confidence in Lu Ye. So he nodded: "Okay, let's go to Sikong Mansion now." ”

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh slightly, after so long of hard work, it seems that there is still a harvest now. With the Zuo family and the Beihai Zheng family, when Xun Yu affirms it, those nobles in the entire north will definitely be moved.

At that time, Lu Ye will be able to reveal his true purpose.

The two of them got out of the restaurant, and Minister Lu and Jiang Xiaoyu, who were not far away, hurriedly followed. The group of four walked towards Sikong Mansion, and in the distance on the street, they could see a few withered yellow leaves swirling into the air with the angry wind.
