Chapter 370: Warring States Travels VI
"Grandpa, this is our newly made paper, although the color is still yellow, but it is much stronger and much finer, and you can write on it." Li Ping'er said very complacently.
General Li carefully read the paper in his hand, and asked his subordinates to bring pen and ink and write a few words on the paper. Therefore, he was accustomed to using a carving knife and switched to a brush, and General Li's handwriting was not good at all.
"Not bad." General Li nodded and said to Li Ping'er, "You will sort out a copy of Liu Cheng's paper-making process, and then use some more paper, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to present it to the king." ”
"Huh? Why dedicate it to the king? This is something I developed, isn't it good for our Li family to make money? Li Ping'er didn't want to give the results to the dim-witted King Zhao, where is the current King Zhao as wise as his father and his grandfather.
Li Jiangmu touched Li Ping'er's head and said: "Ping'er, paper is something that can change the entire social pattern, our Li family can't control it privately, we must give it to the king." Otherwise, after that, it is not a question of making money or not, but a question of bringing trouble to the family. ”
"It won't be like this, will it? The invention of the brush didn't cause any trouble? Li Ping'er felt that General Li was exaggerating.
General Li said: "When you first made the brush, I already had someone make a better brush and send it to the palace." ”
No wonder! No wonder the brush spread so quickly in Handan City, she thought that everyone could not refuse the benefits of using the brush, but she didn't expect it to be because of the relationship between the upper and lower effects.
"Alright, you can hurry up and get ready." General Li sent Li Ping'er down.
Li Ping'er didn't leave, and said: "The paper was made by me and a few friends, and I had to get their permission before I could tell others about the process." ”
General Li laughed when he heard this, this is still a child who doesn't understand anything!
"Don't ask, your two friends are afraid that they will have already sent the process back to Yan and Qin."
"Impossible."
"How could it be?" General Li said, "Yan Dan of Yan Kingdom is different from you little fool, he is the heir carefully cultivated by the royal family of Yan Kingdom, and his knowledge and vision are not comparable to you, a little girl." At the beginning of your papermaking, he must have seen the great benefits of paper, and he must have recorded the entire process and sent it back to Yanguo. Think about it, when you made paper, Yan Dan and Zhao Zheng were not very attentive. ”
Li Ping'er recalled, and her face sank suddenly. Indeed, as General Li said, Yan Dan and Zhao Zheng are very attentive. Hehe, yes, one of them is the heir of the Yan Kingdom, and the other is the future first emperor, where is the political sensitivity of his own political idiot can be compared. As soon as they heard about the use of paper, they had the heart to let their country get papermaking, right?
Li Ping'er sighed, although she wanted to hug the first emperor's big thighs, she was sincere to a few friends, but she didn't expect that friends also had their own calculations.
Seeing his granddaughter's devastated look, General Li patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Your friends are all good, but they are not from Zhao State, and their hearts are naturally biased towards their own country." Except for the things that concern your own country, they are fine with you in other ways. You don't have to get angry with them because of that. ”
"Thank you, Grandpa, for your enlightenment." Li Ping'er is not really a child after all, and with General Li's words, he quickly figured it out.
General Li smiled and touched his granddaughter's head again, proud of his granddaughter's cleverness, invented and made pen and paper, and was more sensible and sensible than ordinary children, such a child turned out to be a member of the Li family, and it was a blessing for the Li family.
On the second day, General Li entered the palace to see King Zhao, and when he returned, he brought back the reward that King Zhao had given to Li Ping'er. King Zhao gave Li Ping'er some property, after all, she was just a girl and had nothing to seal.
After several friends heard that Li Ping'er had been rewarded by King Zhao, they congratulated Li Ping'er one after another. Li Ping'er looked at Yan Dan, and then at the First Emperor, his mouth moved, and he still didn't ask the question that General Li said.
During these days, Zhao Qi has not come to Yan Dan and the First Emperor to make big trouble, and the two of them thought that Zhao Qi was afraid of them. After a while, Zhao Jue came to them and asked them about the lower part of "The Legend of the Divine Craftsman".
Yan Dan and the First Emperor Da: ......
Sure enough, you kid took "The Legend of the Craftsman" and didn't return it to us.
The two of them beat Zhao Jue up.
Zhao Jue said, it's okay for you to beat me, but the lower part of "The Legend of the Divine Craftsman" must be shown to me, otherwise I will harass you every day. Today I made a mistake, I came running alone, and I was beaten by you. The next time I bring more than one person, you won't be able to beat me.
Regarding Zhao Qi's rogue behavior, Yan Dan and the First Emperor really had no choice. had to lend the lower part of "The Legend of the Craftsman" to Zhao Jue. Fortunately, Li An'er was afraid that Yan Dan and the First Emperor would lose the book again, so she wrote another copy when she wrote it.
This borrowing has started the "god craftsman" boom in the entire Handan City. Zhao Qi has a lot of younger brothers, after he finished reading the story, his younger brothers also read it out of curiosity, so one by one, the younger brothers also entered the pit.
"The Legend of the Craftsman" is a story written with the public losing class as the protagonist, and a lot of mythology is added to it. After writing this book, Li An'er adopted many of Li Ping'er's suggestions, and the writing was naturally attractive - Li Ping'er really thought it was her own credit.
There is only one manuscript of "The Legend of the Craftsman", one person reads it, another person has to wait, and more people have to wait, waiting for people to scratch their hearts and lungs, which is too torturous. So, other people who couldn't see it came to Yan Dan and the First Emperor to borrow the manuscript in their hands to read. The two of them are not willing to lend the manuscript, this loan is that the meat buns beat the dog and can't come back, they still want to read it often. But if you don't borrow, you can't borrow more, and you will offend too many people. As protons, their situation in Handan City is already not good, and if they offend so many people, their situation will be even worse.
In the end, Li Ping'er found a way to solve this problem: cultivate a storyteller to tell the story to everyone. In this way, it is more liked by the nobles, eating snacks and listening to wonderful stories, and you don't have to spend your energy and eyes to see it, how much you enjoy it!
"The Legend of the Divine Craftsman" is popular, and the storyteller is also popular, not only Zhao Guo, but also storytellers have appeared in other six countries to tell people the story of "The Legend of the Divine Craftsman".
"Prince Dan."
Hearing such a shout, Yan Dan's eyes flashed with nostalgia, since he came to Zhao Country as a hostage, he had never heard anyone call him like that.
