"Paper?"
"It's like silk."
"You still want to use silk to make amulets?!"
Qin Shihuang jumped three feet high and wanted to jump up and slap Cao Xiu twice. In the Qin State, gold was the upper currency, copper coins were the lower currency, and silk could be regarded as the middle currency and could be used directly as currency.
Not to mention Cao Xiu, a small pavilion chief, even the county governor used bamboo slips to write memorials unless there were important events. Which prodigal would use silk slips just to read orders?
I must kill him!
"Um, is there something wrong with you?"
"presumptuous!"
"I said it's similar to silk, but I didn't say it was silk."
Cao Xiu also suppressed his anger. This little brat made him look embarrassed in front of Cao Shen. After Cao Shen leaves, take care of him!
He had been experimenting with papermaking for a long time. He was not as lucky as other time travelers to succeed in one attempt. He failed several times before he finally figured out some of the tricks. A major breakthrough was made some time ago, and it is no longer necessary to use the toilet to collect leaves in the future.
Cao Shen waved his hand.
"You'll just go back later."
"Thank you, prison guard!"
Old Mrs. Liu stood up quickly.
It’s not easy to be an extra!
They were also very sensible and bowed to each other to leave.
As for the benefits, don’t worry, they are indispensable.
"Ahem, I'll take my leave first."
Cao Xiu bowed quickly.
Before he could slip away, he was stopped by Cao Shen's people.
"Why are you running so fast?"
"I'm free today, so I'll go sit in your house."
"Ah, I'm still cooking soup at home!"
"You are not needed for this matter."
"No, my yellow dog is going to give birth today."
"Can male dogs... also give birth to puppies?"
"..."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the air was filled with joy.
…
…
Cao Xiu walked beside Cao Shen with his head drooped.
"Xiu'er, you are now almost a crown prince and it's time for you to start a family. I heard that the county magistrate wanted to marry his daughter-in-law to you, but you declined. The magistrate was very angry about this. Why, are you still looking at this? Don’t want to go to someone else’s house?”
Okay, here we go again!
Cao Xiu looked helpless.
He knew that Cao Shen would definitely mention this matter whenever he came to him. This can't be blamed, after all, he is considered an older youth in the Qin Kingdom. You can't be like Liu Ji, who is still unmarried in his thirties.
The Qin State used to judge adults based on their height, but now they are considered adults when they reach seventeen years old. If you encounter someone who has no identity information, you will continue to judge whether you are an adult based on your height.
"Brother, you know me. Many people like young and beautiful people. I am not as picky as them. I am also very dedicated. I just like beautiful people."
"..."
"..."
Qin Shihuang stared, this is not a choice? !
It suits you, young and old, as long as you are beautiful, right?
Cao thief, traitor, evil thief!
"The county magistrate's daughter..."
"My small body can probably crush her to death."
"Ahem, cough, cough, this is a blessing!"
"I am the lone star of the Heavenly Evil One, so I won't harm other people. How about the eldest brother taking another concubine?"
"You're so good, how dare you tease me?"
Cao Shen raised his hand to beat Cao Xiu.
However, humans can run faster than rabbits. In the blink of an eye, he climbed to the locust tree. This ability to climb a tree to escape is the best in Pei County!
"Come down and I won't beat you."
"Establish written evidence!!!"
"..."
After a long time, Cao Xiucai jumped down from the locust tree.
Xiao He saw this and immediately helped to say good things.
"Since Xiu'er is not in a hurry, Mr. Cao doesn't have to be in a hurry either."
"Shen is not in a hurry." Cao Shen shook his head, "The main reason is that after the county magistrate was rejected, he was very angry and felt that Xiu'er did not give him face. If he is investigated for this, there will be trouble."
"Don't worry, he won't dare."
Xiao He smiled confidently and shook his head.
"He is the head of a county, how can he not dare?"
Qin Shihuang walked in front and spoke calmly.
Cao Xiuming obviously doesn't know how to praise.
The county magistrate had such good intentions, but he still refused?
It would be great if I agreed. In the future, if a county magistrate is the father-in-law, it will definitely be smoother in the officialdom of Peixian County. As for whether the county magistrate's daughter is beautiful or not, it doesn't matter, as long as her father is the county magistrate.
Give him a chance, he will be useless!
Qin Shihuang hoped that Cao Xiu would be promoted to an official position as soon as possible. Only in this way would he have a chance to return to Xianyang.
"How come this Zhuzi doesn't understand any rules?" Cao Shen frowned and said displeasedly: "If an official in my house dares to do this, let him first be beaten for thirty years to let him know the difference between superior and inferior. Son, you treat these people so well!"
"Ah, hahaha..."
Cao Xiu quickly covered Azheng's mouth.
How come you dare to say anything if you don't care about your life?
As for what Xiao He said, it certainly makes sense.
The county magistrate has received a lot of benefits from them over the years, and the Xiao and Cao families are the largest clans in Peixian County. Even if he is unwilling to do so, he will not break up because of such a trivial matter.
"That's all, it's up to you."
"Brother said the same thing last time..."
Cao Xiu complained in a low voice.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Ahem, I said that's what the elder brother said!"
"..."
"..."
Cao Shen stared at him, but finally smiled helplessly. He knew that Cao Xiu was a person and had no evil intentions. Among the younger generation of the Cao family, Cao Xiu is the most outstanding, much better than his two brothers. He just likes to be clandestine and sneaky when doing things. Although he did it beautifully, it made Cao Shen indescribably uncomfortable.
In the past few years, the Cao family has been developing rapidly with the help of Cao Xiu. Although it is still lagging behind the Xiao family, it is not far behind.
Cao Shen was still very convinced of Xiao He's talent. It was just that he was feeling quite frustrated by being pushed all the time. After all, no one wants the title of second child in ten thousand years.
…
Return to the mansion.
Cao Shen glanced at Azheng, who was sitting opposite him.
"Xiu'er has adopted many homeless children over the years, but he is the first to be so unruly. I heard from Mr. Xiao that you are proficient in laws, regulations, civil affairs, and the language of hundreds of schools of thought, and are also good at riding, archery, and swordsmanship?"
"That's natural!"
Cao Shen nodded thoughtfully.
"So, your family background must be good. Although I have been in Peixian County for many years, I have some acquaintances in various places. If you get lost, I can help you take it back."
"Depend on……"
Cao Xiu was startled.
Ah Zheng can’t get sick again!
If he opens his mouth and says that he is the First Emperor, Cao Shen will laugh to death!
Qin Shihuang stood up with overwhelming momentum.
However, he sighed the next moment.
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you."
"oh?"
Cao Shen stared at him, becoming more and more curious.
The origin of this child must be extraordinary!
"That's all." Cao Shen waved his hand and said calmly: "I have something else to do this time. A distinguished guest is coming to Peixian County. He has been with the Cao family for many years and knows many of your deeds. For this visit, I will mention you by name. I want to meet you, so I rely on you to entertain me.”
"Who?"
"Donghai Ling County, Qin Jia."
"Holy shit...it's actually him?!"
Cao Xiu was stunned when he heard this.
