Li Shui was distracted from eating by Li Xin, but Li Xin didn't care and started eating after sitting down.
While eating, he said with unfinished thoughts: "The immortal world is so wonderful. The life of an immortal is so comfortable. From eating to defecation, everything is appropriate."
Li Shui sighed and put down his chopsticks: "That's it, I won't eat."
Xianglizhu next to him kept staring at him angrily.
Li Shui asked: "Why are you angry again?"
It's okay not to ask. As soon as he asked this question, Xianglizhu became angry and shouted: "In the past few days, I and the craftsmen, day and night, kept trying and making mistakes, and finally made the fairy paper. Yes. What about you? Except for the very beginning, when you were boasting and telling me some principles, you never showed up again."
Li Shui said in confusion: "Otherwise, when I asked Zhou Qingchen to publicize this matter, he also added your name? To be honest, I am a little embarrassed to let me take the credit alone."
Xianglizhu said: "I don't care about any credit. What's more, without your theories, this fairy paper cannot be made. I'm just angry. Before making paper, you told me that this material will benefit the country and the people, and benefit the people. , the light is enough to shine on EMI."
"How great are you talking about? What's the result? I made the fairy paper. You two, you shameless people, only use it on the toilet?"
"I just feel that all the hard work has gone to waste. You guys are really bullying me."
The more Xiangli Zhu said it, the more aggrieved he became, and he almost wanted to cry.
Li Shui scratched his head and comforted her and said, "Don't just stare at the two of us. We are shameless people. What can't we do? The gentlemen outside are still very excited. I heard that Chunyu Yue hugs the immortal all day long. Paper, I never leave it when I’m eating or sleeping.”
Li Xin was a little speechless beside him, thinking: "Does using fairy paper to make a toilet count as a shameless person?"
Li Shui finally comforted Xiangli Zhu. Wu Jiao came over excitedly again and said, "Sir, when are we going to deliver paper to the palace? It is said that Mr. Fu Yao did not go to the toilet all morning in order to try something new, so he is waiting for us."
Li Shui was a little helpless and said to Wu Jiao: "The word "early adopter" is a bit awkward to use."
He was discussing with Wu Jiao, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiangli Zhu's eyes were red.
Li Shui said quickly: "Let's go, let's go quickly. If we stifle Mr. Fu Yao, it will be a big sin."
Li Shui and Wu Jiao left. Li Xin looked at Xiang Lizhu who was crying and felt a little at a loss.
Li Xin scratched his head and thought: "Should I praise her? After all, she is a great contributor to papermaking. She should be grateful."
So he gave a thumbs up and said to Xiangli Zhu: "Miss Xiangli, your fairy paper is very well made."
Xianglizhu asked: "What's a good way?"
Li Xin was a little short of words and was afraid that Xiangli Zhu and others would be anxious, so he blurted out: "This paper... is very comfortable."
Xianglizhu let out a cry and started crying.
Li Xin fled.
…………
Li Shui's reputation quietly reversed in Xianyang City.
Some people think that Li Shui used to start selling things for 10,000 yuan, but this time he sold fairy paper for only 100 yuan, which is really conscientious.
Some people think that it doesn't matter if a person learns to be bad, as long as he returns from his mistakes, he is still a good person. Confucius said, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
Others feel that this is inseparable from everyone's help. Everyone in the court was polite and courteous. Li Shui, a barbarian from the Chu region, was finally converted.
Among them, Zhou Qingchen's remarks were relatively naked. He preached to people everywhere that Li Shui was a contemporary of Cangjie. Cangjie invented the characters, while Li Shui preserved the characters. His contribution is equally great.
At first, everyone disagreed with Zhou Qingchen's theory and felt that his flattery was too explicit. But after everyone heard it more, they felt that there was nothing wrong with this.
The most important thing is that in the future, everyone will no longer have to hold a heavy bamboo slip to read a book. This is a real benefit.
…………
In the past few days, Li Shui has sent several carriages of paper to the palace. After Fu Yao used it, he was full of praise.
Li Shui is a fair person. After sending papers to Fu Yao, he also sent a lot to Wei Yang. Of course, when giving paper to Weiyang, you can't say it's toilet paper. That would be too low-end and would be considered vulgar.
What Li Shui and Wei Yang talked about was how to use this paper to read and write. Of course, with so much paper left, Li Shui has no control over what Wei Young does with it.
While in the palace, Li Shui also heard some rumors. It is said that when the courtiers wrote letters to the emperor, they all praised the benefits of paper. After praising the paper, they praised Li Shui a little at the end of the memorial.
Li Shui was so happy that he was almost counting the days, waiting for the next court meeting.
Finally, the time for the court meeting came again.
Li Shui arrived at the entrance of the Government Hall early in order to communicate with the courtiers for a while. It's boring to hear people praise you behind your back, but it's more comfortable to praise you in person.
Sure enough, the courtiers' attitude towards Li Shui changed greatly, and many of them nodded and smiled at him.
Especially after Zhou Qingchen arrived, he led Wu Yue and a group of others to praise Li Shui, making the atmosphere very lively.
All the courtiers also followed the good example and praised Li Shui a few times.
A courtier asked Chunyu Yue, "Dr. Chunyu, I heard that you also wrote a letter praising Huaiguzi?"
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said: "Huai Guzi has done good things, so he deserves praise. In my opinion, although this person is a bit arrogant and domineering, he is still young and energetic. His nature is not bad, he just needs to be tempered a little bit." If you practice, you will naturally become as gentle as jade.”
"But what this man has done is really helpful to the world. Take this fairy paper as an example, it will be of great benefit to us scholars. I have ordered the servants in the mansion to copy the Analects of Confucius on the fairy paper It’s on it. It’s very convenient to read it all the time..."
Just when Chun Yuyue said this, Li Xin came. When he saw Li Shui, he expressed his bitterness: "Brother Huai, you don't know, the paper I brought back last night was used up. I had no choice but to use bamboo pieces again. Alas, I used to think It’s nothing, but after getting used to the fairy paper, I feel uncomfortable all over.”
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said to Li Xin: "What? Have you started studying too? Bamboo pieces are really inconvenient, I have switched to fairy paper."
Li Xin looked at Chunyu Yue in surprise: "You also use fairy paper?"
Chunyu Yue said: "What? Can't I use it?"
Li Xin scratched his head and said: "That's not true, it's just...how can a person as old-fashioned as you change so quickly this time? After all, only a handful of people are using fairy paper to go to the toilet."
When Chun Yuyue heard this, his anger suddenly surged up. He couldn't control it for a moment and shouted: "What? You actually used fairy paper to go to the toilet?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin's face turned red: "How can you publicize this kind of thing in public?"
Then he looked at the courtiers and shouted: "What are you looking at? Are you waiting to go to the toilet?"
The courtiers felt very uncomfortable. Think about how they have treated the fairy paper as a treasure these days, holding it in their arms all day long. As a result, Li Xin, that bastard, actually used him to go to the toilet. Vaguely, the courtiers felt that the fairy paper in their arms was a little dirty.
Although this piece of paper is not that piece of paper, the courtiers felt really awkward. How embarrassing is this?
Chunyu Yue's face turned livid with anger. After a long time, he said: "What a waste of natural resources. The fairy paper is one foot square and worth a hundred dollars. Although it is not expensive, it is not cheap either. You actually use it to go to the toilet. You are so luxurious, you are not afraid of heaven. Punishment?"
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Is it so expensive?"
Li Shuigan smiled and said: "Of course it must be expensive. If it's not expensive, how can it be worthy of your status as a general?"
Chunyu Yue suddenly grabbed Li Shui and asked, "Huai Guzi, did you also use fairy paper to go to the toilet?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "This is a very common thing in the fairy world. Dr. Chunyu should not be too strange."
Chunyu Yue stamped his feet vigorously: "I shouldn't have believed you in the first place. Unfortunately, I wrote a special letter to express my praise for you. I regret it too much. I regret it too much."
Li Shui couldn't help but think: "Xiangli Zhu is indeed from Chunyu Yue Mansion. Their reactions were similar. One was crying, the other was angry, and they both collapsed."
Fortunately, the door to the government hall opened and the court meeting was about to begin. Li Shui walked in as if he were fleeing.
Ying Zheng still didn't know what happened outside the Yizheng Hall. He was in a good mood and said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "Recently, many people have greatly praised Huaiguzi. It is very rare for Huaiguzi to be recognized by hundreds of officials."
At this time, Chunyu Yue came out and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I praised Huaiguzi because I was deceived by this Zhuzi. I take back my previous words."
Other ministers also came out one after another and expressed their intention to take it back.
Only Zhou Qingchen and Wu Yue's group stood still, but their faces were a little embarrassed.
Ying Zheng was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to take it back?"
A doctor almost beat his chest and said: "Your Majesty, the fairy paper is used for writing and spreading the thoughts of ancient sages. But Huaiguzi and Li Xin actually used it to go to the toilet. This is blasphemy. This is It's disrespectful, it's... it's shameless."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, because thanks to Fu Yao's recommendation, he also started using toilet paper and felt very good. Why did this doctor turn him into such a heinous person?
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui calmly: "Huai Guzi, do you have anything to say?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said: "If you use fairy paper to go to the toilet, you will be blaspheming the thoughts of the ancient sages and sages. Then the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have been blaspheming for many years."
The courtiers retorted one after another, thinking that Li Shui was slanderous.
Li Shui said calmly: "I would like to ask you all, where are the thoughts of the ancient sages and sages recorded before the appearance of fairy paper?"
The doctor said: "Bamboo slips."
Li Shui asked again: "What did you use when you went to the toilet today?"
The doctor cannot answer.
Li Shui smiled and said, "Is it a piece of bamboo?"
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty fell silent. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
