Chapter 66 Fame and merit

Imperial Palace, Longde Hall.

Di Yi touched the slightly rough paper, his face full of amazement, he couldn't help nodding, very happy, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bigan and other ministers standing on the side also held a similar paper in their hands. The square paper is stroked, and the face is full of smiles, like a chrysanthemum blooming.

Shen Gongbao even stood aside silently with a smile on his face, looking at the unconcealed amazement of the crowd cheerfully, he was very happy in his heart.

After a long time, Emperor Yi said tremblingly: "The Taoist priest is really a god and man, such a shocking work should be passed down for hundreds of generations!"

Wen Zhong and the others also nodded in admiration. Although they had learned from Emperor Yi that Shen Gongbao might make such a piece of paper, they still couldn't help but gasp in admiration when it was actually placed in front of their eyes.

Before that, apart from the bamboo slips, there was something that people could write on, and that was silk, but the cost of silk was too expensive for ordinary people to use.

The paper made by Shen Gongbao is different. It only uses ordinary wood or even straw from the farmland, so the source of raw materials is extremely wide.

They all tried writing on paper a few times, and they all felt that it was much better than writing on bamboo slips.

All the people present are wise people, and they can immediately imagine the huge impact when paper can satisfy all the people of the big merchants. That is, the heavy bamboo slips will be completely replaced, and the scholars will be overjoyed crazy.

The most excited person in the arena was Huang Tianhua who had been stationed in the woods for several months. Although he didn't know what was going on in the woods before, he knew it thoroughly now. When he saw the paper for the first time, he knew what he was stationed at When he was studying this masterpiece in the woods, he was very grateful to his father. Although he did not personally participate in this specific action, it was a great joy in life to be able to protect the birth of this masterpiece.

"Okay! The Taoist priest has indeed made great contributions to the great merchants. With this paper, the local officials can completely feel at ease about the affairs recorded every year. They have to worry about the loss of the recorded things caused by the bamboo slips being eaten by moths. The widow also has to face a pile of mountain-like memorials every day, hahahaha"

Di Yi laughed heartily and said that since he was thoroughly treated by Shen Gongbao, he felt that his body was much better and his vitality was stronger than before.

The rest of the ministers all bowed their heads and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a great business blessing!"

Di Yi nodded, and said to Shen Gongbao: "I don't know what the master wants this time, I will definitely satisfy the master!"

Shen Gongbao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Pindao doesn't lie, but I have something to ask for in my heart, but I haven't fully figured it out yet, can I allow Pindao to go back and think carefully before telling Your Majesty what I want?"

"Sure!" Di Yi immediately promised, he knew that Shen Gongbao was a cultivator, and he didn't care about worldly fame and wealth at all, so he was very relieved to let Shen Gongbao think clearly before speaking.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

There was a sensation in Chaoge City, and a very familiar name resounded in everyone's ears again. The Daoist Shen Gongbao, who had entered the palace and became an imperial physician, finally stopped being silent, and made another earth-shattering event, inventing paper. Completely replaced bamboo slips and silk.

The scholars shouted wildly, the elegance of the past was gone, they took to the streets, crowned each other, congratulated each other, and expressed their admiration for Shen Gongbao. At the same time, several limericks flooded the streets and sang for the children, Among them, only one person was praised - Shen Gongbao!

Not long after the sensation in Chaoge City, as the news radiated out, the entire Dashang became a sensation. The four major princes of Dashang and the [-] minor princes congratulated Emperor Yi at the same time, and at the same time politely asked Emperor Yi if he could The art of papermaking was passed down within their territories.

Not all of these princes are peaceful people, but after this happened, they all calmed down and did not dare to make trouble at this time, and Emperor Yi and a group of ministers punished those who were about to make trouble. The fringe princes of the country, seeking huge benefits, then agreed to flow the paper into their territories.

These princes are also nay, the role of paper is too great, just those literati love this thing, if it is not introduced, I am afraid that before their ambitions have exploded, the literati in their territory will take the lead in rebelling against themselves . .

Shen Gongbao didn't bother to care about these political matters at all. At this time, he was lying in his mansion, opened his divine eyes, looked at his constantly increasing merits, and almost laughed away, with a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face. It still hasn't disappeared, it's very wretched.

When the people of Dashang thanked Shen Gongbao, Shen Gongbao received great merit, and with the continuous increase of the people's willingness, the merit continued to increase.

However, Shen Gongbao also found that his karma had also increased. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that every invention that shocks the past and the present will affect the interests of some people. The biggest impact this time is those who made the bamboo slips. As a businessman, it is natural for Shen Gongbao to increase his karma. Fortunately, these karmas are much smaller than his merits.

After several days, Shen Gongbao realized that the speed of merit increase began to slow down until it stopped increasing. After all, the merit of a thing has a fixed number, and it is impossible to limit the increase.

One day, Shen Gongbao was humming a ditty in the mansion, admiring the flowers, and eating fruit in his mouth, when suddenly a servant reported: "My lord, Miss Shang is here!"

"Oh! Just let her in. From now on, Miss Shang doesn't need to report when she comes here, just let her go!"

"Yes!" Then the man withdrew.

Soon, I saw a beautiful woman in a purple dress curling up, her face without makeup was still fair, and the skin on the exposed neck was as white as ice and snow.

There is a pair of big star pupils on her pretty face, and the long eyelashes can't hide the joy in her eyes, only to see her exclaiming: "Daoist Shen, you are so carefree!"

"Hey, Miss Shang, Pindao doesn't have much to do, so of course he's at ease, and you're the same, coming here every day!"

Shang Ziyi's pretty face was bright red, and she glanced shyly at Shen Gongbao, then sat straight on the stool not far from Shen Gongbao, and said: "Shen Daochang is a sensation in the world now, I'm afraid you will be sought after by several people as soon as you go out. !"

Shen Gongbao threw a dried fruit into his mouth, and murmured: "So, the poor dare not go out! Hehe"

Shang Ziyi looked at Shen Gongbao, with a trace of admiration in his beautiful eyes, and said: "Master Dao, you are really amazing, the little girl admires it!"

Shen Gongbao chuckled, and said: "Miss Shang is overrated, and being poor is just a little ability!" Even so, you can see the pride in his heart just by looking at his wretched smile. Feel ashamed of your own plagiarism.

What this guy thinks in his heart is: "Is this plagiarism by Pindao? It seems that it is only in the period of great merchants now, and there is still a long time before the Eastern Han Dynasty. Pindao 'invented' this first, and it can only be called 'invention' at most." Take', not 'steal'!"

Naturally, Shang Ziyi didn't know that Shen Gongbao's memory was fused with the souls of future generations, so in Shang Ziyi's eyes, Shen Gongbao's face didn't matter much, it was just a skin, the key was the inside!From this incident, Shang Ziyi felt that Shen Gongbao was an extremely talented person.

Although Shen Gongbao looks very wretched, he has maintained the appearance of more than [-] years old after practicing Taoism for many years, while Shang Ziyi has now reached the age of marriage, and it is the time of Huaichun, and he is the kind of lady who really cares about the inside However, what Shen Gongbao is doing now has hidden her heart.

In the past few days, Shang Ziyi ran to Shen Gongbao's mansion whenever he had time. Shen Gongbao was still surprised at the beginning, but after seeing a lot, he was relieved. The only thing he wondered was what Shang Rong, an old fox, thought. Be his son-in-law?

Shen Gongbao naturally sees the affection in Shang Ziyi's eyes, but there are still a lot of troubles in his own affairs, but he dare not provoke Shang Ziyi anymore, and wants to treat her as a younger sister, but Nai Shang Ziyi seems to regard Shen Gongbao's kind at all. The sense of distance that can be made is still close and close. After several trials, Shen Gongbao finally gave up, knowing that under Shang Ziyi's weak appearance, there is a heart that dares to love and hate.

However, Shen Gongbao still treated Shang Ziyi as a friend, and he did not go beyond half a step. There are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with by him, and it is not suitable to deal with these long-term love affairs at this time.
