Lin Sha had only been at Fang's house in Yewang County for less than ten days!
During this period, a little interesting thing happened, that is, when he took out a pen and paper and was about to write a letter to the eyeballs, recommending Fang Yue, a second-rate military general who was still young, he attracted the blazing eyes of the Fang clan like wolves and tigers.Is it just a letter to make such a big battle?
As a result, when I asked, I knew that there was an oolong, and the Fang family had any opinions about him, and they simply fell in love with the stack of high-grade white paper he took out!
It is said that Emperor Ling got his paper-making recipe and handed it over to his henchmen and eunuchs to operate, and the white paper produced flowed to the market to make a lot of money.The wealthy families in Luoyang City reacted very quickly, and the large circulation of white paper was likely to affect their monopoly on knowledge, and then shake their right to speak.As a result, these wealthy families joined forces, and even secretly bought off the eunuchs who operated the papermaking workshop and collected money for Emperor Ling, and all the paper that entered the market was swept away by them.Emperor Ling had already set the shipping price of paper extremely high, and there were eunuchs in the middle, and when it fell into the hands of the wealthy family, the purchase price was really high.But that's the case, in order to monopolize knowledge and their own right to speak, the wealthy families in Luoyang City don't dare to be stingy at all, and they have to sweep away all the goods produced by the paper workshop.In other words, the wealthy families of the world are not good hammers, they spent a huge amount of money to purchase a large amount of paper, transported it to all the commercial places in the thirteen states of Dahan through their own channels, and sold it to the local families at a higher price, anyway, the wool is out of the sheep!
Rao is like this, the local clans are strong, and they are still eager for this kind of paper that can write words and be bound into books, and how much paper flows into their sphere of influence is swept away by them, and they don't even give others a chance to drink soup!
Hanoi County is close to Luoyang, and the so-called building near the water is the first to get the month, so it naturally shares a lot of paper shares, and every time the latest paper appears, it is immediately snapped up by the family.In the case of an extreme imbalance between supply and demand, the price of paper can be imagined.Fang's family, as a strong man in Yewang County, naturally also snapped up a batch of papers.The family leaders value this batch of papers as family heirlooms, and they are usually placed in the study of the head of the family to be closely protected, not to mention taking these papers to write letters at will, or copying books, all with the consent of the patriarch and the clan elders!
And Lin Sha casually took out a stack of white paper, which was obviously much better quality than the paper purchased by their family, and lost his ugliness in front of Lin Sha with red eyes for a while, but they didn't care much about it, including the patriarch and the clan elders, they watched Lin Sha write a letter of introduction, and then cheekily begged Lin Sha to sell them the remaining high-grade white paper, and it cost as much as it wanted!"
I gave it to you, these papers are made by my own paper workshop, and they are much better than those on the market in terms of materials and time and energy!"
Lin Sha waved his hand, the local tyrant was full of atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Of course, there is not much production, but it is enough for me and a few friends to use, and the quality is still quite good!"
”The patriarch of the Fang clan and the clan boss were overjoyed, and only then did they react, the Marquis of Longting, who was dressed in a martial arts outfit in front of him, was the one who offered the paper-making recipe that the current emperor valued and was awarded the title of Marquis of Longting.At the same time, they also realized that Long Tinghou was not only a powerful martial artist, he was also a newly rising celebrity!
Suddenly, the attitude of the elders of the Fang clan became more and more humble and respectful, and they couldn't wait to offer Lin Sha as an ancestor, and even took Fang Yue to revere him a little more.In peacetime, the influence and voice of celebrities and scholars are not comparable to those of mere martial artists.As long as Lin Sha is willing to take care of the Fang clan more, the Fang clan may soon be able to break away from the powerful circle and become a member of the Shi clan!
Regarding the sudden humble and respectful attitude of the top leaders of the Fang clan, Lin Sha was noncommittal.He promised the Fang clan to provide them with some high-grade paper every month, but directly refused their enthusiastic retention, and left leisurely with more than twenty guards under him, as well as nearly ten carriages full of goods and various 'native products'.In the next half month, Lin Sha took his guards and leisurely walked around the 16 counties of Hanoi and saw the real local situation.The situation is not bad, the people of Hanoi County can still survive, but the quality of life is like that, it is good to be able to live.The big and small families and the powerful have basically divided the interests of the entire Hanoi County, and the people are just sheep they harvest, and a little wind and grass can cause a huge commotion among the people.On this day, Lin Sha and his entourage came to the territory of Thi Hoi County, Hanoi County, and when they passed by a relatively prosperous small town, they suddenly saw a large group of people gathered at an intersection in the small town, and from time to time there were exclamations."
What's going on, Cai Shui go over and take a look!"
Lin Sha rode on the tall horse, glanced at it from a distance, as if he had seen something amazing, turned back and commanded his henchmen behind him: "Remember, ask clearly, don't alarm the people inside!"
”With his ear power, even if he was a few miles away, he vaguely heard words like 'Shi Fu cures diseases', and his mood suddenly became a little bad.These guys are really everywhere!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cai Shui to hurry back, leaned in front of Lin Shama and whispered: "Junhou, it's the people of Taiping Dao who are there to cast talismans and release water!"
”"It's these guys again!"
Lin Sha raised his eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "We have been wandering around in Hanoi County for so long, and we have already met three or four waves of Taiping Dao people, right?"
”"Plus this time, exactly four times!"
Seeing that Lin Sha's tone was not good, Cai Shui's heart jumped, and he said carefully: "Is there anything wrong with the prince?"
”Don't talk about him, all the guards present basically have the same idea, and they think it's nothing, and the current situation is normal.In other words, because of the strong aura of heaven and earth in this world, literati can manifest their own literary qi, and martial artists can mobilize the aura of heaven and earth to increase the power of attacks, and Xuanmen monks like Zhang Jiao naturally have special skills.The matter of drawing talismans to cure diseases is not groundless, Zhang Jiao does have such ability!
Zhang Jiao not only has a good body of mysticism, but also is very proficient in the method of propaganda.In the early years, he was not very famous, but he showed his strength in the imperial capital of Luoyang, casting talismans to release water to cure diseases and save people, as well as the ability to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, and he became famous in Luoyang in a short period of time, and became a guest of honor in the mansion of the powerful for a while.If it weren't for the fact that this guy was determined to be in the world and had to preach in various places, I was afraid that in the current Luoyang City, Zhang Jiao would definitely be the number one powerful person, and even the likes of the Three Princes would not dare to offend easily.Lin Sha is also quite impressed by this Xuanmen bull, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he knew that he would unite and organize the masses, and he implemented it quite well, and this ability was very powerful.If it weren't for Tang Zhou's informant in history, it would be best to reserve all the Taiping Dao, and if it was suddenly launched, it would be impossible to kill the imperial court in the end, at least it would be able to destroy the Eastern Han court in waves.Lin Sha visited Hanoi County this time, but he just walked around the towns of the sixteen counties and learned about the living conditions of the lowest peasants in the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time, and met several waves of Taiping Taoists who were casting talismans and releasing water.Every time it caused a stir among the surrounding villagers, looking at their eager admiration for those masters, Lin Sha knew that the foundation of the Taiping Dao had been firmly established."
These guys, since they are so keen to relieve the pain of the villagers, then cooperate with the government!"
Lin Sha chuckled and said, "With the help of the government, at least more patients who really need it can be called to take the initiative to come to the door for treatment, instead of relying on the wishes of these masters like now!"
”"Besides, with the endorsement of the government, they don't have to worry that the court will suspect their intentions!"
Speaking of this, he smiled, and his eyes were full of incomprehensible meaning.Including Cai Shui, all the guards who heard Lin Sha's words couldn't help but shiver at the same time.His words were too clear, the behavior of these Fang Shi of Taiping Dao could easily cause bad suspicion from the government, and if he thought about it deeply, it would make people shudder."
Then the prince, let's ...... now" Cai Shui broke out in a cold sweat and asked cautiously, he didn't want to go against the master of Taiping Dao at all, and he didn't want to get involved in such a terrible thing."
Don't enter the town, let's spare it!"
Lin Sha just sighed, he can't do anything now, the current Taiping Dao is in full swing, there are not a few high-ranking officials and nobles among the believers, and even among the ten permanent servants in the palace, there are also believers with Zhang Jiao, once the Taiping Dao cannot be forced to rebel, the consequences will be quite serious.The group spared the town, had lunch directly in the field, and then walked on a country road when they were blocked.Looking at the other party's familiar outfit, Lin Sha really had the urge to scold his mother, it was really a human being who didn't hurt the tiger, but the tiger was harmful to people's hearts."
What are you doing, we have nothing to do with your Taipingdao, what do you want to do?"
As soon as he saw that fifty or sixty Angzang big men from the other party were surrounding, Cai Shui hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "Do you know who we are, it's not that you guys can offend casually!"
”"Why, you still want to overwhelm people with power?"
The fifty or sixty big men who came up around, one by one, painted with the symbol of Taiping Dao on their arms or faces, led by a tall thin man with a strong body, pointed at Lin Sha and sneered: "I know that you have an extraordinary background, but so what?
”This guy sneered again and again, and said coldly: "Is this the reason why you dare to be disrespectful to the great sages and good teachers?
”As soon as the words fell, fifty or sixty eyes full of anger shot over, almost igniting Lin Sha and his party.If you dare to be disrespectful to the god-like great sages and good teachers in their hearts, these guys in front of them will definitely die!"
Fart!"
Cai Shui retorted angrily: "When did we disrespect the great sage and good teacher?
”But they are worried in their hearts, once they are charged with such a crime, they will be ready to spend their days in the pursuit in the future......
