Chapter 316 Old Man Wang Jian

"Ha ha!"

"Master—"

"Master, we succeeded, we succeeded"

In the back village of the village, several cheerful voices suddenly came from far and near.

"Master!"

"Forehead!"

However, when Su Pei and the others ran to the village and saw a group of heavily armed guards, their voices stopped abruptly, and their original smile disappeared instantly, instead fear appeared on their faces.

I thought these people were here to arrest their young master.

"Xiao Pei, come and meet the old general, don't be rude"

"Meet the General"

Su Pei and the others were relieved when they heard that the imperial guards did not come to arrest the young master, and quickly bowed in salute.

"It's okay! It's normal for young people to be lively, but this old man is very envious."

The old man waved his hand, "Little guy, what did you say?"

He came today because he was entrusted by others and because of his interest, so he asked a question out of curiosity.

"ah!"

Su Pei hesitated when he heard this, and glanced at Su Fan.

"I haven't shown it to the old general yet"

Su Fan naturally knew why the other party was hesitating, so he said something lightly.

He was not surprised that the paper was successful, after all, he was already familiar with the papermaking process.

And now this mysterious old man obviously has a different identity, he is probably a general in the army. If so, he originally wanted to catch up with a senior official of the Great Qin Dynasty, but now it seems that he has just caught up.

Hearing Su Fan's words, Su Yuan quickly took out the stack of papers hidden behind his back.

The paper is yellowed, it is not the flat crystal paper of the later generations, it is similar to straw paper, it seems that there are still some failures in the process of operation.

"What's this?"

The old man was rather curious.

"This is a blank piece of paper, and it was made by the boy"

"Blank paper? What's the use?"

"For writing, the boy is the successor of the novelist. I have written several short story books. I want to spread these to the world and carry forward my reputation as a novelist. But relying on storytelling alone, I don't know when."

"It is even more difficult to publish with bamboo slips"

"So I came up with the idea that if there is something similar to facial silk, to write, to write faster, to write more, and to be more convenient to carry and spread"

"This is what you call blank paper, it can be written on, give this old man a try"

The old man's eyes lit up in vain when he heard the words. Although he is a general, he also knows that if it is true, then for the Daqin government, the appearance of white paper will at least make it easier to send official documents.

Speed ​​up the communication between the center and local government.

"Xiao Pei, go and bring the pen and ink here"

Su Fan didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and ordered.

After a while, Su Pei brought the brush and ink over.

In this era, brushes already existed, but not many people used them. After all, writing with a brush on bamboo slips caused ink to be a problem and was easily erased.

If it rains and sweats, the words on the bamboo slips will be washed off, which is not as good as bamboo slips.

Although the yellowed white paper is not as good as the white paper of later generations, it is about the same as the white paper of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It can also absorb ink, Su Fan quickly wrote a few Qin Zhuan.

"Okay!"

Looking at the Qin Zhuan that appeared on the white paper, the old man showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Young man, you are very good, are you willing to hand over this papermaking technique to the government?"

The old man looked at Su Fan with a bright expression.

He was also testing in his heart, whether this papermaking craft is precious or not, it is naturally extremely precious, once this white paper comes out, it will definitely replace the bamboo slips in the future.

After all, it is so convenient, whether it is writing or carrying, it is extremely convenient, and everyone can see it.

Then the blank paper future, even if it is very cheap, is a terrifying number when it comes to the world. Even he is a little bit excited.

"Leave it to the government, of course you can"

"At first, the boy was still worried about how to hand over this craft to the government. After all, the boy doesn't know anyone in the Shaofu, so he has no connections."

Hearing this, Su Fan smiled, and then said.

"You are really willing to hand it in, the old man didn't force you"

"And do you know what this craftsmanship represents? This craftsmanship, not only can make you rich, but it can also make you rich in the world."

The old man said with a smile, he didn't believe that the other party couldn't see the value of this papermaking craft.

"General, don't make fun of me. This papermaking craft is really valuable, but for me, it's also the key to my life."

"I still understand the truth that a man is innocent but he is guilty. If the boy has the strength of a general, then the boy may consider occupying it."

"However, the boy still has self-knowledge. If this craft is handed over to the empire, I believe the empire will not treat me badly."

"Good boy!"

Hearing this, the old man laughed a little, as if he had a sense of joy.

"The boy was raised by his master since he was a child, and he practiced Qi in the East China Sea for several years, but now he has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. This time he entered the world, one is that he accidentally won the inheritance of a novelist and decided to make a name for the novelist, and the other is that he hopes to use the Great Qin Empire to improve his cultivation. for"

"So, this papermaking craft is just for the kid's promotion. I don't know what the general wants?"

Su Fan looked at the old man solemnly.

"Good boy, you are planning on the old man."

The old man immediately understood the other party's plan when he heard the words, but he was not angry. Instead, he said with a sly smile: "Do you know who the old man is?"

"This is the first time the boy saw the old general. Of course he didn't know, but the general is fierce and fierce. Those around him are all the elites of the army and the elite of the empire, so the boy boldly guessed that the general must have been a general of the imperial army before."

"So the boy invites the general, hehe! I also want to borrow some power from the general. If I can enter this officialdom in the future, it will be easier to go."

Su Fan also said with a sly smile.

"Haha! You're a hypocrite, so you don't have to be afraid that the old man will have a big enemy in the court, which will drag you down and make you kicked out before you even entered the empire."

"Haha! I believe that if the general really has a big enemy, I'm afraid he won't care about such a small fish like the kid."

Su Fan felt more and more that the identity of the old man in front of him was not simple.

"uh-huh!"

"Old Man Wang Jian"

Wang Jian also stopped teasing, communicating with this child made him feel a little bit at ease, and he hasn't laughed so freely for a long time.

Seeing each other for the first time, Wang Jian felt that this child was very sleepy.

"It turned out to be Marquis Wu Cheng, the general was in front of me, please forgive the boy for his clumsy eyes."

Su Fan was also taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect to meet such a person here.

The Optimus Prime of the Great Qin Dynasty, there are many generals in history, but there are very few generals who destroy the country, and Wang Jian is the leader of the general who destroys the country, and he destroyed many countries in his life.

More importantly, for such a person to be safe in his later years, that would be remarkable.

After all, it is rare for a general with such great achievements to enjoy his old age peacefully.
