Originally, I only wanted to live a stable and comfortable life in the capital, but it backfired, and I offended many people unknowingly within a few days of coming to the capital.

For several days, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit, which was a little more lively than when they were engaged in business alliances in Suzhou, and the difference was that the people who came to the door were all businessmen, and most of the people who came to the door now were people from the imperial court.

Of course, businessmen are very simple to deal with, as long as they get some money-making cooperation projects, and then everyone makes money together, not only will they not offend people, but they will also make the other party owe themselves a big favor.

But the purpose of the officials' visit is different, especially in this period of great change, a considerable number of conservatives come to the door to pull Zhou Bufan into their camp, and of course there are radicals who want to pull Zhou Bufan into the camp.

It is because of the national policy offered by Zhou Bufan that there is no political position, so both sides feel that there is hope to pull this person, whom His Majesty values very much, into the camp.

In fact, it is not only conservatives and radical reformers, but also Empress Chen, who represents the harem, who is gradually falling out of favor, and the very favored Wei Zifu's relatives......

Originally, I thought that no one could be offended, but in fact, I inadvertently blamed several forces, although my IQ is not bad, but my EQ is indeed flawed, and it seems that this officialdom is really not easy to mix.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, he simply called himself sick to the outside world, and came directly to close the door to thank the guests, not going anywhere, and staying in the mansion all day to concentrate on practicing qi and studying the formation, and finally temporarily avoided those annoying political problems.

……

After staying at home completely, he did successfully avoid many incidents, although Xia Bing occasionally went out for a stroll, of course, there were also those two Xiaoqiu and Yue'er who had woken up from their dormancy and increased their strength a lot.

After getting along for a period of time, the three of them can be regarded as friends, and even as sisters, Zhou Bufan is also their mentor in Xiaoqiu and Yue'er's minds.

Xia Bing, who has good strength, plus two powerful spirits, has never suffered a loss even in the mixed capital, and even made a small name. There are already several evil young people who have been scared to go out by Xia Bing and the two spirits.

The only one who stayed with Zhou Bufan was the little fox, this thing really didn't want to go there, and he couldn't wait to put it in the bed when he slept, but Zhou Bufan didn't agree to this.

After being reprimanded a few times, he finally gave up the act of sneaking into the quilt after Zhou Bufan fell asleep, but he really didn't want to leave for a moment, even if Zhou Bufan was practicing the calligraphy, he would lie quietly on the side.

……

The calm and busy days passed day by day, and the little fox was always tired of practicing qi in the morning and evening.

At first, I thought that the aura I had drawn over would be absorbed by this little fox, which might weaken some of the effect of qi training, but this was not the case.

Although the little fox does not have any foundation for qi training, but his physique has a strong affinity for the aura of heaven and earth, and when he stays in his arms to practice qi together, he can attract the aura in a farther range, which can be regarded as increasing the concentration of aura in disguise.

It's just that although this little fox can attract more aura, it is difficult to gather qi in the body, and nearly a month has passed, and it still hasn't been able to condense a trace of true qi in the body.

The only change is in the physique, not only the strength has become greater and the agility has become higher, but the life field has also grown a lot.

However, it is Xia Bing who has had the best effect of Qi cultivation in the past half a month, and the one who has grown the most.

This girl has indeed made a lot of money, and when she stayed by Zhou Bufan's side to practice qi together, the effect was more than doubled compared to when she was alone, because there were many spiritual qi around her that were pulled over, making it much easier for her to absorb and refine.

As for Zhou Bufan's own true qi growth, it can only be described as unhurried and steady, the growth has been continuing, but the amount of growth is very small.

And the Divine Thought Controlling Thing is also growing quite slowly, and it seems that there is still a long way to go if you want to truly exert the combat power of the Divine Mind Controlling Thing.

Of course, during this period of time, I will still make some inventions that can improve productivity when I have time.

I really didn't want to make any money by making these inventions, and I didn't want to gain any reputation, and the energy of the space gem has been slowly recovering, and it is not surprising that the energy can be fully recovered in another seven or eight months.

At that time, of course, you can leave, so the money and fame are really useless, and in fact, the money you make now is not spent.

The reason why he is still engaged in invention and creation is really his biggest hobby, just to pass the time, so those technologies are completely open to the public, so he still won a huge honor unintentionally.

But what makes those literati and ink writers crazy the most is the appearance of real paper, speaking of the purpose of papermaking, it's really a little embarrassing to come, the original intention of getting this thing is just to wipe the butt more conveniently.

In this era when there is no paper, it is indeed a bit scary when it is on the tuba, especially when I saw the toilet chip in the latrine, I was almost scared out of my heart.

A few days ago, I finally finished a set of quite a complete set of processes, and successfully produced a batch of paper of quite good quality in a small workshop that is not too large.

After the paper was successfully obtained, in order to promote it more conveniently, he deliberately sent a batch to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was so happy.

Of course, by the way, I also touted the emperor under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the heavenly auspiciousness created the paper, and by the way, I looked forward to the importance of the paper for cultural development, of course, it goes without saying that the emperor also knows, and the civil and military officials know.

The most important thing is that Zhou Bufan directly dedicated the entire set of techniques to the imperial court, and Liu Che, who was determined to become the first emperor of the ages and become a Ming monarch, of course, did not mean to treat Zhou Bufan badly.

In addition, a few days ago, several inventions that benefited the country and the people directly made Zhou Bufan jump from a high-class baron to a high-class marquis, although there was still no fief, only a nominal county marquis, but Yulu also rose to 1200 stones.

Even after hearing that Zhou Bufan likes to collect jade, he even deliberately gave away some exquisite jade, but it is a pity that there is no spiritual jade.

……

In less than a month after entering Beijing, he was able to be promoted to a sixth-level knighthood in a row, which was definitely unprecedented in history, but Zhou Bufan felt a little painful.

Originally, he had already left the political whirlpool, but he was swept into it again, making such an auspicious scene, deliberately boasting about Liu Che's exploits, but he really played a stinky move.

Money and reputation are useless to me at all, anyway, I will leave in less than a year, as long as I honestly practice qi as an otaku, practice swords and read power, why do you provoke the emperor if you have nothing to do?

"Master Dongfang Shuo begs to see you!"

"Why are you here again, saying I'm not available......"

It's just that before the words are finished, Dongfang Shuo, who does not play cards according to common sense, did directly climb over the wall, although he fell into the mud, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

patted his clothes and walked towards Zhou Bufan with a smile.

"You are so forceful, aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor to complain?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Your Majesty did let me come this time."

"What the hell is the matter with the gentleman?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm a little thirsty, so I want to drink a glass of water and wine to quench my thirst, okay?"
