my brother champion

Chapter 78 Entering the Palace for the Second Time!book paper

Huo Guang was secretly startled, he didn't expect Pu Tian to see his intention.

It seems that his own practice is not well hidden.

Fortunately, all the guests have been invited away in advance, and only those rangers are left after the restaurant is cleared.

and so!
Even if the intention is seen, only Pu Tian knows about it.

thought here.

My heart immediately relaxed a lot.

but!

You should be fooling or you have to fool!
Huo Guang looked at Pu Tian, ​​his two eyeballs rolled around, and soon he thought of the reason, and said: "Yes, I have plans to recruit these rangers."

"It's not mainly that we run the restaurant."

"look."

"There are already four restaurants in Chang'an City, and the competition is fierce. Not to mention taking the initiative to send people to engage in other people's business, at least you have to prevent others from making trouble."

however.

This statement did not fool Po Tian.

When he even saw that he said that he was here to take care of the business of the restaurant, he snorted coldly.

then!

He even said disdainfully: "From your expression, I can see that you are lying!"

"expression?"

Huo Guang was a little puzzled.

Why do you say that you can tell from your expression.

Hard to do.
Did he not control his expression just now?
At this time.

Standing behind Pu Tian, ​​the guard Han said, but at this moment he opened his mouth to remind: "Huo Yilang, every time you talk nonsense, your eyes will always be erratic, and you can tell at a glance that you are looking for an excuse for yourself!"

wipe?
And this
Huo Guang was a little dazed, but he still glared at Han and said, "Go, go, I'm talking to your Patriarch, what are you guards talking about!"

"you!"

Han said that he was annoyed by Huo Guang's words.

I am His Majesty's favorite minister!

When those princes and nobles saw him, not to mention respect, at least they had to give three thin noodles.

Now being bullied by a young man, how can he not be angry?

but!

At this moment, the Patriarch was right in front of him, so he couldn't get angry, so he had to endure it.

Pu Tian glanced at Han Shuo, then at Huo Guang, knocked on the table, and cursed: "You kid is getting more and more arrogant now, almost catching up with your elder brother in Chang'an City."

When Huo Guang heard him talking about his elder brother, he hurriedly asked, "What was my elder brother like back then? Do you know?"

"Qubing, he was in Chang'an back then." Pu Tian said, suddenly seemed to realize something, immediately changed his voice, and said: "Don't change the subject, tell me honestly, what are you gathering these rangers for! "

Talk and go.

Back to this topic again, Huo Guang was a little annoyed.

immediately.

He said: "Uncle, you are boring like this. What I want to do is my freedom."

"Right?"

"You're not my cheap daddy, don't care what I do!"

Seeing Huo Guang's tough attitude, Pu Tian frowned slightly, and said with a snort, "Don't tell me? Okay, I'll tell Prime Minister Li that you're deliberately harboring criminals, gathering rangers, and intending to rebel!"

Gathering Rangers?

Intend to treason?

After Huo Guang heard this, he felt bad all over.

"Don't talk nonsense, this statement will really kill people. And this restaurant is also for your part. If something happens to me, uncle, do you think you can get away with it?"

He wanted to scare Pu Tian with his threatening words.

It's a pity, not only did not scare Pu Tian, ​​but made Pu Tian's complexion gradually turn cold, he said: "That can really be used, I also want to see if I can get off my body!"

What's wrong with this uncle today?
Speechless
Huo Guang had no choice but to sigh, and said, "Okay, I'll just say it. What else can I do this for? Of course it's for Your Majesty!"

Pu Tian frowned, stared at Huo Guang and asked, "For Your Majesty? Hmph, don't you know that acting in the name of the emperor without permission is a capital offense?"

Huo Guang immediately shook his head and explained: "Acting in the name of the emperor? No, no, you misunderstood. What I mean is that the purpose of gathering these rangers is to allow His Majesty to pardon Guo Xie's crimes. It stands to reason that Guo Xie should have been innocent. It was all tricked by his disciples!"

at this time.

Pu Tian's eyes were full of disdain, and he said slowly: "The pardon of Guo Xie has nothing to do with your gathering of rangers? Or, do you want to gather these rangers and solidify them into a force to fight against the emperor?"

"Confrontation? Uncle, do you think I'm the kind of person who wants to die for nothing?" Huo Guang couldn't help complaining, and then said: "Actually, to put it simply, I want to use these rangers for my own use, so that Your Majesty can See how useful these guys are."

"Look, killing a Guo Xie will only make the ranger even more lawless."

"But if you put a ranger, you can have an extra Jinyiwei in your hand, monitoring the world, why not do it?"

If you look at this issue from Huo Guang's perspective, then this is more than a business, if he is the emperor, he will definitely do it.

But in fact.

Everyone has a different angle of thinking about the problem.

Especially when Pu Tian didn't know what Jinyiwei was, it was most reflected.

"Jinyiwei? What is this?" Pu Tian asked curiously.

Huo Guang thought for a while and explained: "It is a special organization for special affairs. In the early days, it can only be used to collect military and political information, and it can be directly managed by His Majesty. For example, which officials in the court are playing favoritism and bending the law, and which officials are lazy. Now, which officials are both clean and capable, they all know it clearly."

"Like this spider web."

"If it develops, it will extend to every corner of the entire Han Dynasty. All disturbances will not escape the emperor's eyes."

"This is Jin Yiwei!"

As a person in power, after hearing Huo Guang's description, he immediately understood the benefits of Jinyiwei as an institution.

It just started with the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

The reputation of rangers has long been stink in the royal family.What's more, it is a Jinyiwei composed entirely of rangers!

thought here.

Pu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Before you boasted in front of those rangers, saying that you could save Guo Xie with the head of the item as a guarantee. Then if His Majesty takes your suggestion but does not want to let Guo Xie go, you should What should I do?"

"You mean, His Majesty formed the Jinyiwei himself, but didn't use rangers?" Huo Guang asked with a frown.

now.

Pu Tian glanced sideways at Huo Guang, nodded, and said, "Yes, that's what it means!"

"That's impossible!"

Huo Guang said firmly.

Pu Tian was a little curious about how Huo Guang was so sure, so he asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Huo Guang said: "Because the Han Dynasty is short of money and food, His Majesty wants to fight the Xiongnu, and the Yantie official camp has already spent all its finances. How can there be any money to go to Jinyiwei!"

"The reason why I use rangers is because they are already idle and can't starve to death."

"At most, it's just a waste of words, just fooling around."

After hearing this, Pu Tian sighed a little in his heart.No way, I was hit by this kid again.

After shaking his head.

He couldn't help frowning again, and exclaimed: "Jin Yiwei, tsk tsk, your proposal is not bad. Let me think about it again."

As soon as the words came out.

Huo Guang snorted directly, and said with a smile: "No, uncle, what do you want?"

"I am preparing a speech for His Majesty!"

"You won't really put yourself in it, will you?"

Pu Tian didn't care about Huo Guang's joke, he just stood up and knocked on the table, and said, "Okay, then don't think about it. Come on, your restaurant has been open for so long, isn't it, it's time to pay me some money. "

Huo Guang heard it.

Immediately put on a bitter face, said: "No money."

Let's talk!
But the money was still distributed to the uncle.

Seeing the other party take away almost [-]% of his assets at once, Huo Guang felt distressed.

at this time.

Huo Guang still felt that Mrs. Wei was better, and never thought of taking his money away.

After a busy day.

It's getting late.

On the second day, I originally thought about continuing to fool those rangers.

But Huo Guang did not expect that His Majesty's edict came.

After this decree came down.

He originally thought that His Majesty ordered him to enter the palace because he wanted to praise himself by following the imperial historian Zhang Tang to investigate the affairs of Prince Zhao.

As a result, I found out when I entered the palace.

It's the toilet paper thing.

now.

In the Weiyang Palace, sitting on the high seat was the younger-looking Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The servant, Sang Hongyang, knelt down in the hall tremblingly.

After seeing this scene.

Although Huo Guang was curious, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just saluted and said: "Yi Lang Huo Guang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

however.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was above the high position, glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Huo Guang, how dare you deceive me?"

cheat?

As soon as the sound came out, Huo Guang was startled.

After thinking about it.

He then said again: "Your Majesty, I came back from Zhao State after investigating the case with the Yushi doctor Zhang Tang, how can I deceive you?"

on high.

The young-faced Emperor Wu of the Han said, "You still dare to quibble, see for yourself what this is!"

talking!

He threw a pile of hard shell-like papers at Huo Guang.

Huo Guang frowned, stooped to pick up these not-so-good-quality papers and looked at them.Immediately, he understood why His Majesty said he was deceiving.

Including why the attendant Sang Hongyang knelt on the ground and trembled.

He also knows.

After thinking about it.

Huo Guang pretended to be ignorant, and continued: "Your Majesty, I don't know what this thing is!"

"You don't know? Sang Hongyang has already said that you gave me the prescription for toilet paper!" Han Wu Emperor Liu Che said.

It has already been said.

I thought that this Sang Hongyang was just asking for credit by himself, and didn't mention him Huo Guang!
Ok!

Now that it's all spread out.

Huo Guang was not so nervous, so he said lightly: "Your Majesty, it seems that I think Sang Shizhong is too smart. In fact, the prescription I gave him is more precious than toilet paper, but he didn't read it." Come out, plus the quality of this paper is not good enough."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han immediately asked in doubt, "What do you mean by that?"

"Return to Your Majesty, what I mean is that the prescription I gave Sang Shizhong is book paper, not toilet paper." Huo Guang swallowed, seeing that Emperor Wu of Han didn't intend to interrupt himself, he continued: "Book Paper, as the name suggests, is the paper used to write words!"

"Toilet paper is something that removes filth, and it should not be used on the outside."

"Book paper, which can record words, is an important weapon of the country."

"That's why I handed over the book paper prescription to Sang Shizhong. I thought that Sang Shizhong's talent and wisdom could see the way in it. Unexpectedly, I was thinking too much."

Toilet paper is definitely different from normal writing paper.

First, the toilet paper is soft, and second, it is not smooth.

Book paper is different.

There must be a certain hardness, and at the same time, it must be smooth.In this way, when writing with a brush, the handwriting will not diverge and become blurred.

It is precisely because of this difference.

and so.

The subsequent steps of making paper are different.

however.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned and said, "Isn't it enough to record texts?"

Huo Guang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the words that can be recorded on the bamboo slips are less than one-thousandth of the paper. The ancients often said that learning is rich in five carts, but in fact, five carts of bamboo slips add up to not have much text content."

"If you use book paper and bind it page by page, you can make a book."

"One cart of books is enough to support five carts of bamboo slips!"

"Financially, book paper can be promoted and completely replace bamboo slips. Its economic benefits and the development of the Han Dynasty are far better than toilet paper by several times, or even dozens of times!"

on high.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hesitated.

But behind him, there seemed to be some voice, and he said: "Well, since Huo Yilang's storytelling paper has such a function, I will give you seven days to promote it in Chang'an City!"

"Seven days?"

Sang Hongyang, who was kneeling on the ground, was taken aback for a moment.

Time is too short!

Even if Huo Guang talked about the role of book paper in a wild way.However, the emergence of a new industry will inevitably have an impact on the old industry, and then be suppressed.

prior to.

To write text, all use bamboo slips.

The industry that makes bamboo slips will definitely take the lead in resisting this kind of thing.Then I found that I couldn't resist, so I just gritted my teeth and joined this line if I couldn't beat it.

But this time and again.

It must be too late to promote, after all, there are only seven days.

It's too hasty.

Moreover, Huo Guang just said that the quality of this batch of book paper is not good.Although there are pulp raw materials to be produced immediately, there is no doubt that even if the newly produced book paper is of sufficient quality, it will take a few days to waste.

On the stage.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che snorted and said, "Master Sang thinks there is something wrong with Qi Tian?"

"I have no problem!"

How could Sang Hongyang dare to say anything about the problem at the moment? There was a mistake in the production of toilet paper, and it was a blessing not to be held accountable.

But at this very moment.

Huo Guang on the side said, "Your Majesty, I have a problem!"

"Say!"

Emperor Wu of Han said lightly.

Huo Guang thought for a while, and said, "Seven days is too long. I think that three days is enough to promote it only in Chang'an City!"

Say this.

Sang Hongyang on the side was shocked. He felt that there was not enough time for the past seven days!
Three more days?
It's too late to re-produce paper!
however.

The words have been spoken, so they cannot be changed.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy, and said: "Well, we will do as Huo Yilang said. Within three days, you and Sang Hongyang will finish the matter. If there is another problem, I will punish you all." The crime of bullying the king!"

"okay."

"Both of you back down!"

then.

Sang and Huo saluted together, and after saying "No", they left the main hall.

After leaving the palace gate.

Sang Hongyang complained to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, why didn't you say that it was a book paper when you handed over the recipe to me, did you deliberately entrap me?"

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You lie to me once, and I cheat you once, it's fair."

"Humph" Sang Hongyang snorted softly, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Then it's clear, but I have to say something to you, Huo Yilang, you are too conceited."

"I don't think these seven days are enough, let alone three days!"

"Because the time is really tight, so you follow me first and come to my house. Let's discuss the promotion of book paper, how about?"

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Yes!"

actually!

Three days are used for promotion, so I still have this confidence!
But the problem is!

He still wants to bring Sang Hongyang?

If I don't make it clear, I'm afraid that he will get off his back.After all, as the old saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

Just in case, I can only tell Sang Hongyang clearly about the preparations for promoting book paper in advance.

So later time.

The two talked while walking on the road.Until the moment when Huo Guang stepped into the Sang Mansion and met Sang Mei's eyes, he was dumbfounded.

Why did I forget this.

So ever!
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Guang turned around and ran out of the mansion.

at the same time!

Without looking back, he shouted: "Master Sang, I suddenly remembered that my uncle's house was on fire, let's talk another day."
