Sang Qian didn't expect that the Qingfeng Xiangyin toilet paper was actually made by Huo Guang.
He likes this thing very much!
Especially the faint fragrance on the breeze.
I heard that more high-end products are now available, which can be used to wipe mouth, sweat, hands, etc. If Sang Hongyang wasn't a bit old-fashioned, how could he use the thing that wipes his buttocks to wipe his mouth?
otherwise.
He Sang Qian had to buy some back no matter what.
such a pity.
He has no control over the family's money!
Huo Guang looked at Sang Qian's excited face and suddenly felt a little confused, wondering if this baby had any quirks?
Toilet paper is a pretty good thing in this day and age!
But this...
What's there to be excited about?
Huo Guang didn't understand Sang Qian's thinking, but he nodded openly and said, "Ah, I produced it. There are also some new high-end napkins. If you like it, I will have someone give you some." .”
"Really? That's great."
Sang Qian finished listening.
The whole person's eyes seemed brighter.
Sang Meiren pulled Sang Qian's arm and whispered, "Don't you care about him bullying me?"
However.
At this time, Sang Qian began to say to his sister angrily: "Bullying? Why do you bully me? Didn't you slap me? Forget it, it's been a month, why are you talking about it?"
Upon hearing this.
Sang Meiren was so angry that she stood up and kicked him, cursing: "Boneless Sang Qian, huh!"
The words fell.
This beautiful woman with bright eyes and sharp teeth glared at Huo Guang, then said "I'm full" and left the seat directly.
Sang Hongyang couldn't help but shook his head, and then said to Huo Guang: "The child is having a temper, don't worry about her."
Huo Guang nodded, not paying much attention.
He just asked Sang Hongyang casually with a smile on his face, "Is this your eldest son? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
In fact, this is a polite statement.
However.
But Sang Hongyang shook his head helplessly and said: "It's also a useless thing. I'm too lazy to mention him. He raises some small animals in the house every day, such as rabbits, cats, dogs, etc. You see, now he also raises pigs. "
"Hey!" Seeing his father demeaning himself like this, Sang Qian also snorted.
Huo Guang smiled at this time and said: "Raising pigs... is pretty good. Maybe we can start a breeding industry? After all, animal husbandry is considered agriculture, and it only ranks behind the scholars."
I heard Huo Guang say this.
Na Sang Qian immediately gave him a thumbs up and said, "Huo Yilang, what you say is better than my father. That's what I think in my heart."
Huo Guang nodded and smiled slightly at Sang Qian.
Just to show courtesy.
If he were Sang Hongyang, he would probably be pissed to death if he had such a stupid son, right?
My father is a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor. If he becomes an official, his future will be bright!
pity...
The more people have such superior conditions?
The less likely you are to seize the opportunity.
After eating at the Sang family, Huo Guang said goodbye to everyone and went back to the general's mansion to rest.
The next day.
He came to the restaurant early, checked the business situation of the restaurant, and then called Bu San and ordered: "San'er, go arrange for someone to collect these things I wrote on the slips."
Bu San took the slip and took a cursory glance at it.
It says cinnabar, red clay, realgar, malachite green, garcinia, indigo, talcum powder, fish scale powder...
There were also some things he didn't even know what they were.
For example, heavy calcium carbonate, wollastonite, mica powder, etc.
Bu San looked a little confused and asked, "Sir, do you collect these colored things?"
, are you going to open a dyeing workshop? "
dye house?
Not interested at the moment!
Huo Guang shook his head and said with a smile: "In a dyeing workshop, what is needed is dye. Is any of the things on mine a dye?"
"okay."
"Just do as I tell you."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at Bu San again, urging him to do something quickly.
later time.
He also called Fei Xie and Zhao Ji to summon all the rangers who had recently participated in the rescue operation of Guo Xie, saying that they had a plan to announce.
then!
Fei Xie and Zhao Ji went to contact all the rangers who had joined Jinyi.
this time.
We were still discussing things in the restaurant, but we didn't invite them to drink or eat meat. If Dundu brings trouble to these guys, will he still be able to open his restaurant?
After gathering the rangers.
Huo Guang walked up to the stage, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm going to gather everyone together today to talk about two things. Let me talk about the first thing first. I need to select a few contacts. When the time comes, I can notify you of anything. You don’t have to come to the restaurant to talk things over every time in the future.”
"The second thing is what I want to arrange for you to do next."
"Let's talk about the first thing first. I'll pick out a few heroes who can easily contact everyone. Fei Xie, Zhao Ji, Liu Mao..."
These people are rangers and do not like a restricted life.
so!
On the surface, he was just talking about contact.
But in reality, these rangers he selected have become the upper lines of the fools below.
After doing this.
Huo Guang then continued to talk about the second thing and said, "As for what I want you to do, it's also very simple."
"Just promote something for me!"
"The court plans to spend one million dollars to promote a thing called calligraphy paper, which means holding a competition."
"What's the competition?"
"Actually, it is a competition on a series of things such as painting, poetry, poetry, etc. Even if you are good at small seal script, you can participate. There is no limit on the number of people, as long as you are in the Chang'an City area."
"Publish this everywhere. Remember, don't exaggerate or spread rumors. Just say whatever you want!"
After he said these words, the rangers below began to whisper among themselves. Some seemed to be interested in the one million dollars, while others were curious about how the publicity had anything to do with rescuing Hero Guo Jie.
then.
At that moment, a ranger asked: "Hey, boy, let me ask you a question!"
"Why should we listen to your arrangements?"
"Also, do these things you asked us to do have anything to do with rescuing Brother Guo Jie?"
Huo Guang had already expected that someone among the rangers would say this.
Because many of the rangers who came this time did not participate in the last gathering.
so.
When these rangers raised objections, Huo Guang did not panic. He just explained calmly: "It is not to follow my arrangements, but to rescue the hero Guo Xie. If you have the ability and can safely rescue the hero Guo, then I can also listen. your."
"As for your question, what does the promotional book paper have to do with rescuing Daxia Guo?"
"Then I can only tell you."
"This is part of my plan, okay?"
The words fell.
Huo Guang glanced at everyone and saw that no one raised any objections, so he said: "Since no one has anything to say, let's end the discussion today. If there are any new plans later, I will let the envoys I just selected inform you."
"that's all!"
"Everyone, please leave now!".
After a few words, the group of rangers turned into fish and birds and dispersed.
Seeing that it was still early, Huo Guang went to find Sang Hongyang and planned to see the government-run paper production factory. After all, the first condition for promoting books and paper is
, just have something real!
If you don't even have anything, then promote wool.
The low-quality paper produced by Sang Hongyang before was worse than writing on traditional bamboo slips.
But Huo Guang didn't expect it!
When he came to the so-called government-owned paper factory in person, he felt bad.
It's not because of the foul smell in the paper factory.
But it's because the government purchased a paper-producing factory, and the conditions are too crude, right?
immediately!
Huo Guang couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Sang Shizhong, I'm not talking about you. This paper mill is an official institution of the imperial court. Why does it look so miserable? Could it be that you used the money allocated by the Great Farm Order?" , all stolen?"
After hearing this, Sang Hongyang immediately explained: "Huo Yilang doesn't seem to understand the affairs of the court. Previously, His Majesty had carried out drastic reforms in the Yantie official camp, and all the country's money was spent on it. "
"Now!"
"How can the Da Nong Order allocate any money to the paper mill?"
"Your Majesty originally wanted this cost-free business to earn money from the merchant. Naturally, he would not allocate much money to it. For this, I, the Sang family merchant, even advanced a lot to get in!"
After listening to what Sang Hongyang said, Huo Guang couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that the importance of calligraphy and paper has not attracted the emperor's attention.
But that’s right!
In this era, salt and iron are the most important thing, and the rest are secondary.
But tell the truth!
This government-run factory is much worse than his "industrial park"!
Not even half the level...
No wonder the quality of the books and paper produced under the supervision of Sang Hongyang last time at Weiyang Palace was so poor. There was a reason for everything.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood.
If the place of production doesn't pay attention to it, how can it produce good writing paper?
no way!
After Huo Guang sighed, he could only communicate with Sang Hongyang in detail, focusing on the last two steps of making paper - squeezing water with heavy objects and drying with fire.
The previous steps of producing pulp are not relevant, only the last two steps must be handled well.
After solving these problems, the sky had darkened.
In ancient times, you couldn't do much at night. So three days have already passed.
Suddenly a third of the time was lost!
It was also spent on the production of book paper, which Huo Guang did not expect.
Although time is tight.
But the next day, Huo Guang went to Mr. Dong's lecture as normal. Even though there were many feudal ideas in "Gongyang Chunqiu" that Huo Guang did not agree with, it was impossible not to listen to them.
The people of the Han Dynasty believed this.
Including Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, every time when deciding a major case, they must follow the opinions of the ancients. For example, Mr. Dong's "Gongyang Chunqiu" would be used by him from time to time.
No way, who made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che not only prefer military generals, but also love those with literary talents.
If not.
Based on Dong Zhongshu's plan to use divine power to control the king's power through telepathy, he should have been pulled out and killed long ago. How can we now open an elementary school and continue teaching activities?
Listen to Mr. Dong babbling above.
His weariness grew heavier.
But thinking about asking Mr. Dong for help later, I could only concentrate on listening to part of "Gongyang Chunqiu" explained by Dong Zhongshu.
After the lecture.
The Mengxue disciples dispersed, and only Huo Guang approached Dong Zhongshu.
"Mr. Dong, I have something to tell you. Do you think it's okay?" Huo Guang came to ask with a humble attitude.
Hearing this, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help frowning and looking Huo Guang up and down.
Although there was no expression of disgust on his face,
The feeling of "Do I know you very well?" is already coming out.
But no matter what!
After all, you still have to be a role model!
When a disciple came to ask something, Dong Zhongshu, who was a lecturer, had to stop and slowly said: "I see that you are still paying attention to the class today, so I won't punish you for copying the article."
"Don't come looking for trouble!"
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Huo Guang showed a harmless smile and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to enter the palace the day before yesterday and ordered my disciples to promote calligraphy and paper. Oh, Mr. Dong, you may not know that calligraphy and paper are paper used to write words. The tablets are more convenient and compact, and can contain more text."
Mr. Dong finished listening.
He touched his beard and said calmly: "Oh? If there is such a good thing, then you can just promote it. What do you tell me?"
Huo Guang continued: "But Your Majesty only gave the disciple three days, and now half of it has passed. The disciple has no other choice but to use Mr. Dong's reputation in Confucianism to summon my Confucian disciples to help."
"There is no need to do anything, just everyone writes a piece of work."
"It can be poetry, poetry, calligraphy, or painting. There is no limit to the content!"
"For promotion!"
"The disciple and Sang Hongyang also offered one million dollars as a prize for the best one. You see, if I, a Confucian disciple, participate, wouldn't this money still have to fall into my Confucian disciple's pocket?"
However, Huo Guang's words not only failed to impress Dong Zhongshu.
even!
It also had the opposite effect.
I saw Dong Zhongshu's old eyes widening angrily, blowing his beard and saying with eyes wide open: "How can I, a Confucian disciple, be as greedy for money as you, and still try to use my reputation in Confucianism to promote Laoshizi calligraphy and paper for you?"
"snort!"
"If it hadn't been for His Majesty's instructions, I would have kicked you out of school long ago, as a naughty boy like you."
In fact, Huo Guang has always been disliked by Mr. Dong.
no way!
Who made him give Mr. Dong such a bad first impression?
But fortunately, Huo Guang's face was thicker than the city wall. Even though he was criticized like this by Mr. Dong, he didn't feel any low in his heart.
After all, before talking about this, he had already expected that Mr. Dong would say this about him.
so.
The next words are what he really wants to say.
Huo Guang immediately clasped his fists and said, "So the teacher looks at me like this, eh, forget it. Since you are not willing, I can only discuss the matter with Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang."
"correct!"
"As your disciple, I have to tell you that Duke Xiaqiu Jiang is extremely ambitious this time."
"He attaches great importance to the development of calligraphy and paper, and has decided to take his disciples of the Guliang Sect to participate in this calligraphy and paper promotion event. He plans to expand the influence of "Guliang Spring and Autumn" through this event, surpassing "Gongyang Chunqiu" in one fell swoop Woolen cloth!"
Originally, Dong Zhongshu didn't care about books and paper.
But now.
As soon as Huo Guang talked about Duke Xiaqiu Jiang, he couldn't calm down.
Although the Gongyang Sect is now the dominant sect in Confucianism, the Guliang Sect is not far behind. What if Duke Xiaqiu Jiang was really allowed to expand the influence of the Guliang sect, even surpassing his Gongyang sect?
Then wouldn’t all the years of hard work he and Gongsun Hong have been in vain?
Think of this.
Mr. Dong immediately called out to Huo Guang, who had turned to leave, and said, "Huo Guang, wait a minute. Since you are a disciple of my Gongyang sect, what are you discussing with the Guliang sect?"
"so!"
"When it comes to promoting books and paper, I, the disciples of the Gongyang Sect of Confucianism, can take the initiative."
"......"
...
...
After coming out of Dong Laomeng's place, Huo Guang had his carriage ready and arrived at a not-so-luxurious mansion.
He adjusted his clothes first, and then stepped forward to knock on the
There was a knock on the door.
But after a long time, no one opened the door.
strangeness?
Could it be that the owner of the house is not here?
If this is the case, then he came at the wrong time.
immediately!
Huo Guang shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave in disappointment. But as soon as he turned around and prepared to leave, the door of the mansion opened with a creak.
The person who opened the door was a beautiful girl wearing white clothes.
She stuck her head out, looked at Huo Guang doubtfully, and asked, "Did you knock on the door? What's the matter?"
When Huo Guang saw her asking questions, he looked anxious and said, "I knocked on the door. I came here to discuss important matters of the Confucian school with Mr. Jiang."
"Because this matter is related to the survival of our Guliang sect!"
"Excuse me, little lady, please inform Mr. Jiang immediately."
