"I'm not crazy, brother, don't you guys feel uncomfortable using toilet chips?"

Facing Cheng Chusi's question, Li Yu asked back, Cheng Chusi asked strangely;

"Uncomfortable? No, our ancestors used it like this and we followed it. It has been like this for many years. I haven't heard of anyone who dares to wipe dirt with white paper. Brother, don't make a fuss, it's too bad It’s a bit more plausible, you can ask your clansmen, is what brother Wei said correct?”

Li Yu is speechless. In this era, if you want to innovate, you have to consider the traditions left by your ancestors. Wiping your butt with paper is really insulting. Li Yu looked at the people around him, men, women and children who usually follow orders They all nodded, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense, Tanchun came over and said carefully;
"Mr. Qi, what Mr. Cheng Jiagui said is right. Paper is used for writing. How noble is that? Don't dare to use it to wipe that... Sir, please stop making trouble?"

Li Yu rubbed his forehead depressedly;

"What I want to make is not paper for writing. What I make is a very soft paper for wiping your mouth. Wiping your mouth should be no problem, brother? Isn't this mouth a filthy place?"

"Of course not the mouth, but isn't it good to wipe your mouth with a cloth? Why buy your paper to wipe your mouth?"

"Brother, don't worry, the paper I made can be thrown away after one use. It doesn't waste much money. It's very cheap. Don't worry about it. You'll know when I make it."

Li Yu just finished talking about the six craftsmen who signed the long-term contract and came back to the backyard happily. Everyone was very excited, and finally signed a long-term contract with a wealthy family without spending a lot of money. Don't worry about being hungry, a group of people are vying to show their hospitality;
"Master Hou, when do you want to start making blank paper, we can work anytime."

"Yes, Lord Hou, don't look at me in my 40s, I have a lot of strength, and I can't lose to young people."

"Master Hou, the craftsmanship in our Sichuan is absolutely authentic. Believe it or not, I can immediately work it out for you for ten or eight days and let you have a look. It's quite neat to write, and it won't rot..."

"Your Majesty, our southern craftsmen's kung fu is not inferior to that of any other place..."

"Okay, okay, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Benhou thinks today is an auspicious day, so why not start now. My clansmen here can help you. You just need to point and work."

"Okay, Lord Hou, don't worry, the villains will definitely come up with one, two, three, and let Hou Ye see if it's true or not."

"However, Benhou has a little requirement. You have to listen to Benhou's instructions on how to work. There is a secret method in Benhou's study, and the paper you make can be used for other purposes. You just need to be obedient and do it. Don't ask too much about other things."

"Succeed, Master Hou, you can do it as you say."

"Master Hou's secret technique is famous all over the world. Since Master Hou has more powerful methods, of course I have to listen to Master Hou's arrangement."

Liu Dalang was the first to roll up his two cuffs, he had to show his ability to show Hou Ye, he would definitely not take five hundred dollars a month for nothing;
"Master Hou, let's start crushing the wood first. This is hard work and there is nothing clever about it. Everyone can do it. After crushing the wood and forage, we will start cooking tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will pump and beat the pulp, and then stir it into wood pulp before we can carry it." Come out and make a finished product."

Li Yu likes straightforward people, so he clapped his palms together and loudly agreed;
"Okay, Liu Dalang, you have a straightforward temper, and I like you. From today on, you will be the leader of the six of you. This time, the work of making straw paper will be based on words. I will give you an extra [-] yuan every month." A reward of money."

"No need, Master Hou, five hundred dollars is already a lot, Master Hou, if you take more money, the villain will feel uneasy. Don't worry, Master Hou, if there is no more money, the villain will still do the job well. Just wait and see." , absolutely make the paper for nothing, and that..."

Liu Dalang is used to swearing, and was about to say it was as white as a woman's buttocks, when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he was in the General's Mansion, and he was facing a county marquis sealed by the imperial court, so he quickly stopped the car, but Li Yu It's also a nasty joke and not a fool, how can I not hear it, and immediately answered;
"You want to say it's as white as a woman's butt, don't you? If you can't make white paper, Benhou won't accept it, hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The six craftsmen laughed when they heard that Master Hou also spoke foul words, and even the members of the Li family also snickered, making the scene even more down-to-earth.

Li Yu retreated to Cheng Chusi's side and waved his hand;
"Don't say anything, fuck it."

Dozens of them started working immediately with a yell, and they were all full of energy. Cheng Chusi, who was watching beside him, was extremely impressed!
"This Li Dalang is really a general. If these men and horses are turned into soldiers and horses about to go to war, and their work is compared to troops starting to fight, then this is what Aye called a famous general. Being able to talk and laugh with soldiers is just for the sake of it." The greatest advantage of a general, plus a few words and a few words, he can transform his subordinates into a whole body, and everyone is full of energy, this...isn't it a top-ranking general?"

Li Yu was talking and laughing with the six craftsmen with grass roots in his mouth, talking and laughing about the craft of papermaking. All six people lamented that this Lord Hou is really amazing, how could he know so much about the untold secrets of each family?Everyone couldn't help admiring it in their hearts!
"Liu Da, let's be busy today, can we beat the oars tomorrow?"

"Liu Dalang responded casually while working profusely with sweat;
"Yes, Lord Hou, you can beat the pulp tomorrow, but the villain should remind you, Lord Hou, you have added grass foam, and the paper you make will be discounted."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let's just try it out, and we don't take it seriously. It's the first time and the second time. It's definitely not going to work the first few times. Just do it a few more times."

Seeing Li Yu's indifferent appearance, one of the craftsmen couldn't help but carefully reminded;

"Reporting to Lord Hou, the secret method you just mentioned... the villain sounds like that, but according to the experience of the villain... I am afraid that the paper you made is soft without bones! The villain does not Dare to talk nonsense, but I feel sorry for Hou Ye, you made a big fight, and in the end you can't write on the paper you got..."

Li Yu responded with a smile;
"It's okay, just follow what I said. It doesn't matter whether the paper is white or not. It doesn't matter whether it has bones or not. As long as we can make it look like paper for the first time, I don't blame you, Lord Hou." , afraid of a bird, just do it.”

The worried craftsman relaxed a lot when he heard Li Yu say that he was indifferent;
"It's Lord Hou, you can rest assured that you say that, the villain is also afraid of doing badly, and there is no way to deal with you, Lord Hou!"

Li Yu nodded and ordered those next to him to follow;
"Yingxiang sent people to explain that the people in the kitchen and the backyard are starting to set up a small stove today, making nutritious food for them. It's all hard work. They can't make do with the food. How can they work if they don't have enough food?"

Yingxiang squatted obediently;
"It's the lord, and the servant will immediately ask someone to arrange it. When you come, tell the kitchen and follow the lord's instructions."

"It's a lady."

"Okay, brothers, work hard. Master Hou is going back to rest. He is ill recently, so he should pay more attention to rest."

"Master Hou, go slowly."

"I salute Lord Hou."

"Master Hou, go and rest quickly, your body is important, your body is extremely noble, you have to take care of it..."

"Hahahaha, I just like to hear you talk, Mr. Liu, and I feel comfortable listening to Master Hou. You guys should do your best. You will be blessed to hang out with Master Hou and me in the future."

The six craftsmen mentioned by Li Yu were elated and worked even more vigorously.

"Brother, let's go ahead and talk, let's go, I've been busy for a while and my younger brother is also hungry, let's enjoy lunch in advance, there are still two roast chickens left for us to wrap each of them, hee hee!"

After all, Cheng Chusi was still a young man. When he heard that Chang'an was famous for its roast chicken, he moved his throat and said something casually;
"Okay, I'm really greedy for my brother, and I'm lucky again today."

The two brothers chatted and laughed and went to eat in the front yard. There were people in Li Yu's small kitchen all day long. In terms of manpower, the Li clan has a very strong family concept, delaying the distinguished guests is not the Li clan's way of hospitality.

Li Yu was full and wanted to go to the crazy brothel with Cheng's elder brother. He hadn't really been there once, so he couldn't bear it.

"Brother who doesn't stop, there is still a military book that I haven't finished reading, I don't dare to waste time, I ate and drank this, I have to go back to study."

"Brother, no one is forcing you, so why make yourself so tired every day? It's okay to delay for half a day."

"The words are good, but I'm afraid that it's nothing to delay a day today, and I'll have the same idea tomorrow. It's not a good habit to go on day after day. You really stayed in the mansion for a long time and never went out. Go find Saburo, he is good at this, and he knows the way when you two go together."

"Pull it down, brother, you might as well not go there, you might as well take a nap."

Cheng Chusi turned around and turned around worryingly to explain his instructions;
"Yes, yes, but as a brother, I still want to advise you to go to the study room if you have time, otherwise the second uncle will dislike you again, and besides, the Supreme is also staring at you every day. Move here If you move your foot, the Supreme will know everything, so I advise you to be safe and not to provoke the Supreme and the second uncle."

Li Yu sent his shoulders like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water;

"I won't provoke anyone if I sleep, right? Could it be that I can't even sleep now? Big brother, tell me, I'm provoking someone. The Supreme looks at me like a piece of shit. Uncle is also everywhere now. Seeing my dark face, I'm really depressed..."

"Brother, don't be stubborn. You go to the study room if you have nothing to do. I dare say that no one will trouble you. You always drink every day. Who can give you a good face? Besides, when did Baolin pull Didn't you go out to fight? Fang Yiai has done good things to you? He told you several times, and you always get together with them, alas... forget it, go back to study for brother."

"Okay, okay, brother, can't I stay away from them in the future? Don't be angry, is this?"

Cheng Chusi earnestly persuaded;

"You are a hundred times smarter than my brother's head. If you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be the best of the generation of ministers of civil and military affairs. Aye has high hopes for you, and the same is true for the second uncle. I heard that His Majesty also looks up to you." It's very serious, if you don't go to the study every day, how can the grown-ups be happy, Brother, are you right? If I were someone else, I wouldn't say a word."

Li Yu hung his head and responded weakly;

"Can I go now? From now on, I will stay in the study for a long time and not come out. Is it okay?"

Cheng Chusi said happily;

"That's right, then go quickly, don't send me, it's not that you don't know the way, come here! Send your husband to study in the study."

Xichun squatted beside Cheng Chusi for a moment;
"It's Mr. Dalang."

"Go you?"

"Okay! Little brother is gone, big brother, go slowly!"

"Go, go, go, you, what are you doing?"

Li Yu dejectedly brought a group of maids to the second gate, and a group of guards rushed out to pay their respects, and the steward on duty today smiled graciously;

"Master Hou is here, walk slowly, don't trip over."

"Oh, I see."

It was fine at first, but the on-duty steward just said something casually, which made Li Yu angry;
"Master Hou, please greet Madam, take it easy, the villain will support you..."

Li Yu rolled his eyes angrily;
"Going to the study, do you hear me? Study! Study! I can't sleep in the study tonight, okay?"

Seeing Li Yu choking out a few words with a dark face, the manager lowered his head in fright, guessing in his heart that it seems that the anger in the stomach of the family law that Lord Hou ate a while ago has not dissipated.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, the villain talks too much, the villain is guilty, please hurry up, Lord Hou!"

"What kind of crime, are you guilty? Really, I just study all day long. Everyone tells me to study, and I can't stop..."

Li Yu muttered in his mouth that no one would let anyone help him to cross the threshold and entered the second door, and the nine maids behind him hurriedly followed.

The steward at the back saw that Li Yu went in and disappeared, so he entered the classroom;
"Master Hou has never lost his temper with me. Is this a mess? Hi..."

"Brother, don't blame me for talking too much. Master Hou has been whipped by the family law, and he has always been angry. I reckon that whoever made a mistake will be caught and punished recently. I think it's still rare for us to see Master Hou recently." It's better to talk."

"That's right, what you said makes sense, it's exactly what I thought in my heart..."

Li Yu walked into the courtyard of the study with an uneasy expression, and it happened that there were maids guarding it. As soon as he entered the main hall of the study, he saw his aunt holding a book and leaning on the grand teacher's chair. Li Yu stepped forward and stood up;
"I pay my respects to my aunt, my aunt is blessed and safe."

"My son is free."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Today is not the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, why did you come to the backyard to say hello? My son has something to ask your mother?"

Li Yu went up to sit in the chair next to him without hesitation;
"When I go back to my aunt, I'm thinking that I won't come to the study for a long time, thinking that today is a free time, so I came to look for this military book and the toilet."

Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up when she heard this;
"Okay! Then go and choose, Ma'am, I'll just take the book home and read it. You guys stay here and take care of me. Don't make reading tired."

"It's ma'am."

Li Yu opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but speak;
"Qi Auntie, I have servants with me, so I don't need them to take care of me."

"How is this possible? The people over there are not familiar with me. You must eat when you are hungry after studying. You see, they are all smart and clever, and they are very clever in arranging things for you. Okay, you should study quickly." , Auntie is going now."

Li Yu reluctantly agreed;
"It's Auntie."

When Mrs. Qin walked through the door, she still didn't forget to turn around and explain to those who she arranged to stay behind;
"You guys are all literate. Which book our Master Hou read today, where did he start, and where did he end up? You should write it down in detail. The general will be on duty at night, so you can report it clearly. , do you understand?"

"It's Madam, the servants understand."

Li Yu looked at Bei Ying, who had left his aunt, and looked at the second steward of the inner courtyard who came over with a pen;
"Miss, do you really remember?"

"If you go back to Lord Hou, don't dare to be sloppy!"

"Ugh……"

Li Yu got up without saying a word and went inside to look for books...
