After the Confucian Council meeting, the next day, the paper began to be officially sold, beyond Ziyou's expectations, in just one hour, the paper was scrambled, and the competition for paper between the hundred families and the court and the scholars exceeded Ziyou's expectations, so there were still some people who did not get the paper, and were still waiting at the door of the store, wanting to know when the next sale of paper was.

At this time, he had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw that Ziyou had arrived, he saluted and said

"Sir, enough paper has been made."

"Since this is the case, let people list it on the shop, and it will be sold tomorrow, and you will send someone to escort one to Xianyang, which will be divided into three, one for Wenxinhou, one for the king, and one for Shangqing Yao Jia." Ziyou said that yesterday's letters from Lü Buwei, Yingzheng and Yao Jia arrived before and after.

Lü Buwei asked Ziyou if he could borrow the story of Ziyou and wanted some good paper, and at the same time sent five night pearls as a deposit, Ziyou also knew that Lü Buwei was writing a book and saying that paper was indispensable, and Ziyou also agreed.

Ying Zheng said some recent major events in the court, including Chang Yu Qishi and Lu Buwei recently, and Qin Mo wanted to visit Ziyou and had already sent someone on the way, and finally on behalf of Qin Guo wanted to buy some paper, Yao Jia wanted to buy some paper on behalf of Qin Confucianism.

Chang Yu is looking for trouble with Lu Buwei now, Ziyou didn't expect it, if Lu Buwei wasn't for the friendship and Zhao Ji's identity in the past, Chang Yu wouldn't know how to die now.

"Yes, sir." Occultation of the sun left with Ziyou's order.

At this time, the Snow Girl, Concubine Yan and the startled salamander were looking at the Night Pearl sent by Lu Buwei, women were naturally interested in some shiny things, and Ji Yan, who was leaning on the table, was also holding the Night Pearl at this time and drooling, as if he regarded this as something delicious.

"Wen Xinhou is worthy of being a famous giant businessman in the Seven Kingdoms, and there are few night pearls of this quality, but this shot is five." Concubine Yan couldn't put it down, touching a night pearl and said.

"This is indeed rare, but Wen Xinhou also exchanged some papers and stories of Zigong's ransom from Mr. Wenxin, no matter how you look at it, he will not lose." Snow Maiden said.

In addition to practicing martial arts with Concubine Yan and the startling salamander these days, she spends most of her time reading books, anyway, there is such a Confucian base camp as Xiaoshengxian Village, and the books in it that ordinary people can only read at a glance can only be seen by ordinary people, but she borrows them every day to watch.

As she reads more books, Snow Girl's horizons and pattern will be opened, and she naturally knows what the story told by Ziyou is.

The startled salamander didn't speak but took away the night pearl that Ji Yan was gnawing, after the startled salamander took it away, Ji Yan screamed angrily, and the snow girl and Concubine Yan also lowered their heads and hugged Ji Yan when they saw this scene, grabbing Ji Yan's soft little face with a motherly smile.

"If you like it, take it, it's useless for me to keep it." Ziyou yawned and said, he really can't use the Night Pearl, and he doesn't dislike it, in his opinion, this is no different from the light bulbs of the later generations, but the value is higher.

Just as Ziyou was about to return to his study to continue writing, Xue Nu suddenly said

"Sir, someone sent a letter this morning, saying that it was sent by the farmer, and it was the treasure appreciation conference of Qianlong Hall, and I hope Mr. can participate."

"Please show me, Qianlong Hall's treasure appreciation conference? Interesting. Ziyou touched his chin and said.

In addition to the six halls, there are two industries of Qianlong Hall and Zuimenglou, one of these two industries is the exchange of treasures and the other is the Qinglou, which are used by farmers to attract the powerful and make friends, Qianlong Tang has two branches, one of which is in Xinzheng, South Korea, and the other is in Songhai.

Qianlongtang will hold an Yibao conference on the two days of "Shuo and Wang" every month, and send out invitations to the proposed guests, sometimes you can also "invite guests to guests", you only need to say hello in advance, some guests can be replaced before they arrive, even if the number of participants this time is full, it will be arranged until the next time, and those who have strength and status, Qianlongtang will not refuse.

And the dignitaries and nobles searched all the treasures in the world, especially not satisfied, and always felt that what others had in their hands looked better, so they naturally catered to this transaction.

Here beauties, curiosities are goods, as long as you can get your hands on it, and someone wants, you can exchange, Qianlongtang is only responsible for presiding over the Yibao conference and escorting these guests to and from the safety of the round-trip, the specific transaction matters are negotiated by the guests themselves, after the transaction is successful, Qianlongtang will charge both parties a lot of commissions, which is also its way of survival.

And today is the day of the New Moon (the first day of the lunar calendar).

The Snow Girl gave the invitation to Ziyou, who glanced at the invitation and said

"I'm not coming back tonight, I'm going to see the treasure appreciation conference in Qianlong Hall."

Outside Songhai City, Ziyou rode a horse to a mansion that seemed to be thick and simple on the outside before stopping, there was a plaque hanging above the house, and the three big characters of the book Qianlongtang in gold characters on the ink background, walked to the inner house, and an angular building appeared in front of him.

At this time, a duck-faced man with a goatee and mustache, white in the middle, and black hair on both sides was smiling and waiting for Ziyou. He was dressed in a costume from the Qianlong Tang period, with the collar of the waistcoat spread out to both sides, the outer side of the inner robe was a green auspicious cloud pattern, and the middle of the inner robe was a black dragon pattern on a golden background.

Looking at this person, Ziyou had a slight impression that this person was Situ Wanli of the peasant family, the hall master of the Siyue Hall in the future, and now he was just the deputy hall master of the Qi State stronghold of Qianlong Hall.

"Welcome Mr. Ziyou to Qianlong Hall, it really makes our small place flourish, and I don't know if it disturbs Mr. to write a book and speak." Situ Wanli said with a smile on his face, "I am the deputy hall master of Qianlong Hall, Situ Wanli. ”

"Deputy Hall Master Situ, I don't dare to say anything about it, but it's the first time I've come to Qianlong Hall, and the specific rules are not clear, please forgive me for offending."

"Don't dare, it's the greatest honor for our Qianlong Hall to come, I don't know what treasures Mr. brought today?" Situ Wanli looked at the things in Ziyou's hand that were wrapped and concealed.

"Naturally, it's a treasure this time." Ziyou smiled, but didn't mean to open it.

"The treasure that the gentleman brought must have been, please give the things to the maid." Situ Wanli said.

A good-looking maid stepped forward, carrying a tray in her hand, after Ziyou handed over the things to the maid, Situ Wanli led him to a small vermilion door, which was covered by a pitch-black carved dragon screen, faintly visible Huaguang, and the pipa was half-hidden.

"Sir, please inside, this is the treasure appraisal conference, we will divide the place according to the identity of the visitor and the treasure in his hand, this is the Tianzi No. 1 treasure room, but also our best treasure room here, if the treasure is over, there are guests who do not get their favorite things, you can also put the treasure in our place, display it outside, and then choose your favorite." Situ Wanli explained.

Ziyou nodded, and looked to the side twice, there are indeed many small doors like this, and every guest present will remain a little mysterious, and most of them may not know who the participants are until they are inside.

It seemed a little interesting, Ziyou retracted his gaze with interest, walked towards the door, bypassed the screen, and his vision suddenly widened.

The screen is the back, and in the middle is the sitting and lying lean, the desk, and the hanging purple yarn is combed on both sides to form a small compartment.

After Ziyou sat down casually, the maid covered the "treasures" he brought with a brocade handkerchief and walked towards the center of the hall.

This is a peculiar hall designed with the heavenly stem and the earth's branches, with a six-sided table in the center, on which there are already five brocade handkerchiefs, echoing each compartment from afar, and there is a low-hanging dragon's head spitting water, implying the meaning of a hidden dragon, which looks more and more gorgeous under the light of the mercury lamp on the top.

Looking left and right, the rest of the compartments are already seated, but these people still have a lot of acquaintances of Ziyou, including the six-fingered black man and Jing Ke of the Mo family, Jing Ke greeted Ziyou with a smile after seeing Ziyou, raised the wine glass in his hand, Ziyou also raised the wine glass in response, on the right side of Ziyou is a person with a black cloak, which makes people unable to see the face clearly, and there is a white-haired old man, and two middle-aged people.

After a few seconds, a clear bell rang, attracting the attention of Ziyou and the rest of the people.

Situ Wanli stood in the center of the hall with a smile on his face and raised his hands and clenched his fists, and said loudly, "It is a great honor to welcome you to the Yibao Conference in the Qianlong Hall. ”

With the end of some polite words, Situ Wanli began to introduce the treasure Six-Fingered Black Man brought a famous sword, which is Ling Xu, the top ten famous swords on the Wind Beard list, the so-called famous sword has a spirit, and the style of the Mo family is not suitable for Ling Xu, after getting this sword, the six-fingered black man is ready to exchange it.

The man with the cloak next to Ziyou brought two blood-red agate stones, which were intact and extremely rare, and the white-haired old man brought a meteorite, a meteorite that could make a famous sword, and the old man also explained his identity, he was the head of the Kanyu family, and wanted to exchange this meteorite for money.

Kanyujia is a small sect in a hundred schools, and there are not many people, they sound like those who look at the feng shui dragon vein in the later generations, but in fact they don't understand these, they are best at exploring geology and planning projects, such as road construction, canals, mineral exploration, etc., these are what they are good at, but because these things are not taken seriously, because these things are also called forced labor in this era, so there are not many people who learn, only two or three people in each generation.

One of the middle-aged people is the steward of the Zhang family in South Korea, that is, the Zhang family of the generation of Han Xiang, that is, Zhang Liang's family, but now Zhang Liang is still a child, and they also brought a famous sword, fish intestines, and the other middle-aged man brought a copper bell made of mutton fat jade, with sleeping things, and soon it was time to introduce Ziyou, Situ Wanli stopped and said

"Mr. Ziyou is the person we specially invited, so we haven't checked his treasure, but I believe that according to Mr. Ziyou's reputation, this treasure must be a lot of money, and now everyone can exchange it by themselves."

Everyone looked at the tightly wrapped package, they were very curious about the things inside, but they didn't go back and wanted to change it, because it wasn't worth it, who knew if Ziyou was playing tricks and wanted to rely on his reputation to do something, I was afraid that the six-fingered black man would change Ziyou's things for curiosity, Jing Ke also reminded him specially.

Soon everyone began to exchange treasures, the head of the Kanyu family looked at the people around him with anticipation, but none of the people around wanted to exchange with the meteorite, if there were people here who were proficient in sword refining, they would definitely choose that meteorite, but there were obviously not, the six-fingered black man and the steward of the Zhang family were very clear that what they wanted was the sword in each other's hands, so the exchange was quickly completed, as for the man wearing the cloak and another middle-aged man who completed the exchange, only Ziyou and the old man remained.

Ziyou didn't take the initiative to exchange things, and when the exchange was over, the head of the Kanyu family was full of disappointment, the old man was called Luo Zhan, the personnel of the Kanyu family were scarce, and their specialization and servitude were the same, so there were no monarchs and big people who appreciated them, their lives had been very hard, and now the Kanyu family had no money to support their research, so the old man came out and wanted to exchange meteorites for things, but he was disappointed.

Just when the old man wanted to leave, Situ Wanli stopped the old man

"Master Luo, Mr. Ziyou wants to invite you to talk."

"Invite me?" Luo Zhan was a little surprised, he naturally heard a lot of things about Ziyou in the past few days, Confucianism, as the main sect of the hundred princes, generally looks down on these small sects that work as coolies, and Ziyou, as a hot figure in the Seven Kingdoms now, he is an old man who is half-naked and still doing forced labor, no matter how you look at these two people, they will not have a relationship.

"Mr. Ziyou invented paper, and he earned more money in a day than I did in Qianlong Hall in a month, which is more than enough to feed a Kanyu family." Situ Wanli said, as a gambler, what he is best at is figuring out the psychology of other people, Ziyou suddenly invited a small sect like Luo Zhan that farmers can't look down on, there must be a problem, no matter what, first promote this meeting, and make a familiar face in front of Ziyou.

Luo Zhan thought for a while, agreed to Ziyou's invitation, and followed Situ Wanli to a soundproof box.

Ziyou saw Luo Zhan arrive and immediately got up to greet him, Luo Zhan was also surprised by Ziyou's courtesy, Situ Wanli saw this scene and quietly exited the box to see that the door was closed, and Luo Zhan looked at Ziyou who was drinking tea in the room and asked directly

"I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for?"

Although Luo Zhan is over half a hundred years old, his mind is not so much, they are a group of very simple people, exploring geography, summarizing what they know, making some money when they have no money, and collecting apprentices with dead skin.

"Mr. Luo, I know the plight of the Kanyu family now, and I am willing to help the Kanyu family, and even help the Kanyu family expand its influence, and even let the Kanyu family no longer have to worry about money and the future." Ziyou said.

Although the Kanyu family is not taken seriously now, Ziyou knows how important the role of this sect is, and in the future generations, they are proper civil engineering experts, and they are still very capable of fighting, Luo Zhan looks not young, and it seems that he can come with a push, but Ziyou can clearly feel that the strength of the old man is probably not weaker than Xunzi.

A person who explores in the field every day, the grade is still so old, if he didn't have some strength, he would have fed the beasts a long time ago.

"What do you need me to do?" Luo Zhan thought for a while and said ruthlessly, he knew that this was an opportunity for the Kanyu family, even if he couldn't become like Zi You, as long as they were linked to Confucianism, their Kanyu family's situation would not be so bad, at least they would not worry about food and clothing anymore.
