Chapter Seventy-Three: Successful Flight

Before the paper mill officially opened, the ministers of the DPRK and China rushed to order paper, almost 1,000 sheets each.

If there is no upper limit, it is possible to set tens of thousands of tickets!

This thing is much cheaper than bamboo slips, the writing is clear, and it is easy to carry, so I want to stock up on more.

But Xiao Zhengtai didn't give them this opportunity.

The paper has been bought by the noble and wealthy, what do ordinary people use? This also loses the meaning of papermaking!

Xiao Zhengtai chose a day that sounded good and officially opened!

Ying Zheng deliberately deposed the early dynasty and led everyone to celebrate, which was the first paper mill in Daqin and an important beginning of the development of Daqin.

In addition to the ministers and the army, it also attracted a lot of onlookers, and it was very lively!

"Father, I'll take you to the sky later?"

Xiao Zhengtai was gearing up and asked with great interest.

What he asked Yu Ji to sew was a hot air balloon, with a hanging basket hanging underneath, and people could fly up by sitting on it.

This is also what he specially prepared for the opening of today's paper mill!

"Fly into the sky? Are you kidding? How can a man fly in the sky without wings? ”

Ying Zheng scoffed twice, thinking he was joking.

"Why can't it be, father, have you forgotten? My master is a fairy ......! ”

In order to make this old man believe in himself, Xiao Zhengtai ran to the backyard and found a few people to pull out the hot air balloon and raise the fire, "Father, this is a hot air balloon, we can fly to the sky with this!" ”

He'd tested it a few times before, and it's solid, absolutely fine.

"Hot air balloons? Can you take to the skies? ”

Ying Zheng looked at a few broken sheepskin things, then looked at the sky, and shook his head.

One is that it is impossible for this thing to fly, and the other one, even if it flies, once it falls down by accident, its life will be gone!

"Of course you can fly, and it's safe, when did Erchen lie to you?"

This hot air balloon is not big, and it is definitely impossible to fly too high, but it is still okay to fly 100 meters.

"This ......?"

Ying Zheng began to hesitate.

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of my Great Qin, you can't tolerate the slightest mistake, let alone take this risk!"

"We are people, not birds, how can we fly into the sky, even if we have this thing, we will not see safety!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't take any chances!"

……

Before Yingzheng could think about it, the ministers began to persuade him.

"Okay, that boy will go up by himself!"

Xiao Zhengtai jumped into the gondola alone and waited for the hot air balloon to be inflated.

"Little boy, I'll accompany you!"

Wang Li thought for a while, turned his heart sideways, and jumped into the hanging basket.

At this critical moment, there must be no one to accompany the little boy!

Yu Wenxuan, Fan Xu, Zhang Liang and others snickered.

Before that, the little boy put a dog in the hanging basket, tested it several times, and took them to the sky for a ride, and the safety was very high.

But Wang Li actually had an expression of going to death!

"You're not afraid?"

"I'm afraid!"

Wang Li didn't hide it, and said directly.

"I'm afraid you're coming!"

"I said, if you want to follow the little boy in the future, then you have to do what you say!"

"Good!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction.

The person he wants has to have this energy, he doesn't need to have much ability, but he must be loyal!

"Huh? This sheepskin is bulging! ”

The crowd of onlookers pointed to the hot air balloon and exclaimed.

All eyes were on the hot air balloon, watching it bulge little by little and gradually rise into the sky.

"Tie the rope!"

Xiao Zhengtai picked up a rope in the hanging basket and handed it to Wang Li.

"Good!"

Wang Li nervously leaned on the hanging basket, and directly tied the rope firmly around his waist without asking the reason.

"Fly, fly, really fly!"

Everyone didn't expect that a few pieces of broken sheepskin would fly like this.

"Little boy, let's fly higher than the yard!"

Wang Li boldly glanced down.

"What is this, you will not only be able to see the courtyard of our paper mill later, but also the entire Xianyang City!"

Ying Feiyu held the hanging basket with a pair of small hands and looked up into the distance.

Now the hot air balloon does not fly high enough, you can only see the nearby alleys, and after a while, the hot air balloon will fly higher, and then you can look down on the whole Xianyang!

"That's great, I grew up in Xianyang since I was a child, and I know every street very well, but I haven't seen it from above!"

The hot air balloon rose steadily, and Wang Li's hanging heart gradually stabilized.

The people standing on the ground looked up at the hot air balloon with different thoughts.

Ying Zheng regretted not going up with him and looked down on the entire Xianyang City.

Li Si and the others secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that there would be any accidents in the hot air balloon, and that the kid would be saved from returning to the court and promoting the reform of Yingzheng.

However, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, and more and more people were seen.

"Look, what's in the sky?"

"It's not going to be a big bird, is it?"

"Are you blind, whose bird looks like this? In my opinion, it should be a flying monster! ”

"Nonsense, the monsters are all from hell, and the ones flying in the sky must be immortals!"

"You're not right, don't you see a man standing in the basket below? His clothes are similar to ours, how can the gods have such ......? ”

Xiaozheng was too long and too short, and the people were too far away to notice it, but they only saw Wang Li, who was tall and tall.

"Yo! Really, there was really a person standing on it! ”

"Tsk, it's so strange that someone can fly into the sky!"

"Look at the direction, it looks like it's going up from the paper mill!"

"Let's go! Let's take a look! ”

"Let's ......!"

After the people in Xianyang City saw the hot air balloon, they also ran towards the paper mill to find out.

"It turns out that looking down on Xianyang is such a feeling!"

Wang Li held the hanging basket and looked down at the entire Xianyang City curiously.

Looking at the crisscrossing streets and the tiny little people like ants, I couldn't help but laugh.

The initial nervousness is gone.

"Don't just look at the scenery, you have to help when you come up!"

Xiao Zhengtai handed Wang Li a roll of silk.

Wang Li took it with a confused face, "Work?" What do you do? ”

"Do you think that this boy is full of food to make this hot air balloon?"

"...... that?"

"My son is here to promote the paper mill!"

Xiao Zhengtai smiled and continued: "What you have in your hand is a special banner, hold one end and throw the other end off the hot air balloon!" ”

"Throw it down?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Zhengtai took the Shanglian and threw it down first.

"Look, there's something rolling down the balloon!"

The banner rolled and fell, and a large character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing unfolded in front of everyone's eyes.

"Broken grass and pulp, contempt to reveal a cloud!"

"Here we go again!"

"Cut into a book, and the book will be passed down to history!"

"Good union!"

"Good word!"

……

The ministers who watched the paper mill couldn't help but admire.
