At this moment, a flute sounded, I don't know where to come from, I don't know where to go, I only heard a miserable scream, and instantly collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

"It's Hu Nuxing and that Yu Xiao" Yang Xuangan stood up suddenly, looking around with a pair of eyes, this place was all Gaomen compounds, and the sound of the flute was lingering, and only the aftermath of the flute was floating in the air, so shocked that Li Jing and Yang Xuangan quickly rushed out of the courtyard and chased towards the source of the flute.

Halfway through the chase, they heard Yu Xiao stop abruptly, Li Jing and Yang Xuan stood there dejectedly, a pair of eyes scanning the countless Gaomen courtyards around them, and their faces became gloomy.

This area is a family of princes and nobles, and the identity is not trivial, so many people, Yuxiao suddenly stopped, and he didn't know where it came from.

"Yu Xiao must be in this area, since you know the general area, it will be easy to do, we will definitely find traces in the secret investigation" Yang Xuangan's face was gloomy: "Yu Xiao and Hu Nuxing are my father's relics, and I don't know how to fall into the hands of people, so it's hateful!"

Hearing this, Li Jing turned around and walked towards the original road: "Knowing the general area where this person is, let's inquire carefully, and we will be able to find it out." ”

On the tall building, Zhang Bairen stood tall and jade, looking at the endless crowd below, Xiaohu said: "My lord, Jindingguan Zhang Fei asks to see you." ”

"Jindingguan, could it be that he is here to be a lobbyist?" Zhang Bairen didn't have any feelings for his cheap father, and was silent for a while after listening to Xiaohu's words, and then said: "It's all here, call him in, and listen to what he wants to say." ”

In Luoyang City, in the official library, a basket of exquisite white paper was slowly pushed open under the man's carrying.

Looking at the white paper, it attracted the attention of countless passers-by in an instant, and countless scholars were amazed by the exquisite paper.

Now that the imperial examination is imminent, Luoyang City has gathered the world's top scholars, and today's events will inevitably spread all over the world in the future.

Looking at the exquisite white paper in front of them, the scholars looked at it quietly, but they didn't dare to stretch out their hands to Xiao Mo.

The price of paper has never been cheap, and it is a luxury exclusive to the Maison Gate Valve.

At this time, all the scholars were discussing, and one of them said: "This is the legendary Luoyang paper?"

"Master Zhang is really ingenious, he actually designed and manufactured such a perfect paper, it is really incredible! This thing has won the world, how can it ever appear in the world?" someone said in a low voice.

"I don't know how much it costs?" a scholar looked at the dazzling white paper in the sunlight and said the words that everyone cared about the most.

"This kind of paper is many times better than the paper we used before, but I'm afraid that the paper is sky-high, and we can't afford it" A scholar hung his head.

"That is, I'm afraid that it doesn't cost a few pennies to buy one, this kind of paper is something that can be found in the mortal world, how dare you dare to use it all day long. ”

A group of cold disciples were discussing, and in the distance, there were spies from the gate valve family who secretly watched coldly, looking at the more and more cold disciples who were gathering, and quickly turned around and went back to tell them.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The boss is out! The boss is out!" a fellow shouted in the distance.

Hearing this, a group of scholars hurriedly got out of the way, and the bookstore owner walked out with a figure-eight step, glanced at the scholar with an eager face, and played the official tone unhurriedly: "Everyone, Your Majesty is inferior to the world's poor scholars, and he has studied hard but has no books in hand, so he immediately ordered Master Zhang to invent papermaking and engraving printing to relieve the distress of the world's poor scholars." ”

Speaking of this, the words paused, and a pair of eyes looked at the scholars who were listening attentively, and then said unhurriedly: "Today is not only paper sales, but also books are sold on a large scale, and you still need to be careful to buy, if the entanglement is all spent, hungry, but no wonder I didn't remind you." ”

"Shopkeeper, I don't know how much this blank paper costs, where is the book?" said a scholar.

The boss of the official post station narrowed his eyes, and wrote a notice with a pen: "Exquisite Luoyang paper, only the capital is ten cents." Ten cents a pound, first come, first served!"

Ten pennies a pound?

All the scholars were stunned, and a slightly honest scholar looked at the shopkeeper: "The owner, did you write it wrong, this kind of paper is not ten cents a piece, but ten cents a catty?"

"You read that right, it's ten pennies a pound, and there will be printed books later, if you are interested, just buy it" The shopkeeper said with a smile, looking at the stunned scholar in front of him, he was not surprised in his heart, when he got the decree of His Majesty's handwriting, he didn't have such an expression.

Such a beautiful piece of paper, ten cents a piece is not excessive.

"Your Majesty has good intentions" The shopkeeper sighed lightly, and after a while, he saw a guy carrying a basket of books to the front of the store, looking at the scholars with fiery eyes, the shopkeeper smiled: "Come on, the sale begins!"

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately exploded, and countless scholars rolled up to this place, reaching out to the books and white papers.

"I'll buy it!"

"Shopkeeper, bring me a book...... No, bring me five...... Ten copies!" a scholar handed over a large handful of copper coins.

"Shopkeeper, bring me two catties of white paper!"

"I want five pounds!"

"I want three books!"

"Don't squeeze!"

"Don't push me!"

"What are you squeezing me for!"

A group of people are noisy and noisy, constantly screaming and squeezing around, no different from ordinary people in the market, and the style of scholars has long been thrown to Java.

Zhangjia Pavilion

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhang Fei came to the pavilion.

"Sit down!" Zhang Bairen said without replying.

Zhang Fei didn't sit down, but came to Zhang Bairen's side, looked at the scenery in Zhang's mansion, and smiled: "Your mother's injuries have improved, you don't have to worry about it, the name of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, is indeed worthy of the name." ”

"I expected this," Zhang Bairen nodded.

"The Li family has withdrawn," Zhang Fei said with an ugly face.

"Huh?" Zhang Bairen frowned, he was not satisfied with the marriage with the Li family, if he married with the Li family, where would he be able to poison his father-in-law and brother-in-law in the future, but the Li family's withdrawal from the marriage made him feel a little uncomfortable. It's one thing to hate, but it's another thing for you not to give face.

"Retreat, retreat, it's no big deal," Zhang Bairen said indifferently.

Zhang Fei shook his head: "You have an alliance with the Li family, the Li family's luck gathers, and marriage is very important." ”

"It's very important to Jindingguan" Zhang Bairen turned to look at Zhang Fei, and the playful expression on his face suddenly made Zhang Fei smile bitterly and lowered his head, his son is almost a demon, everything can be seen clearly, and it is not comparable to an ordinary teenager.

Zhang Fei changed the topic very decisively: "The movement you caused this time is a bit big, the family of the world's gate lords has given you a death order, and you have to take your life." ”

"Papermaking and printing have pouted the foundation of the gate valve family, and it's no wonder that they are not in a hurry," Zhang Bairen sneered.

"Do you know how dangerous this is? 100,000 taels of gold, Your Majesty's head is not so valuable" Zhang Fei glared at Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen shook his head and shook his body and went down the pavilion.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Bairen's back and shouted.

"Just follow me. ”

The father and son shuttled through the crowd along the way, and came to the official bookstore of Luoyang City, looking at the scholars who pushed and shoved, as if they were ruffians, one by one holding exquisite white paper and crying with joy, you look at me, I look at you, looking up to the sky and shouting to vent the excitement in their hearts.

Scrolls of books printed on white paper exude the scent of ink, which is intoxicating.

The disciples of the poor sect are bitter!

But in such a difficult environment, he still tirelessly pursues knowledge and deserves to be favored.

The hard work pays off, and Zhang Bairen feels that the poor scholars should not continue to work hard.

Zhang Fei looked at the overjoyed and tearful Hanmen scholar, revealing a contemplative look.

Zhang Bairen exhaled softly, turned to look at Zhang Fei: "As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, my sword path breaks all shackles, kills all shackles, we take different paths." ”

Zhang Bairen stood in the crowd with a smile: "When I come, I want to guide the trend and break the confinement of the gate valve family, so that the cancer that oppresses the people has nowhere to go." ”

"The gate valve family hates you to the bone, this is the world of the gate valve family after all, you will not be able to move an inch in the future!" Zhang Fei sighed helplessly.
