Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 174

  Chapter 174 Han Fei visits

“What’s wrong?”

   Since meeting Han Fei, it was the first time for Yan Lingji to see such violent mood swings on Han Fei’s face, so she couldn’t help asking curiously.

   “See for yourself!”

  Han Fei rubbed the center of his brows, then pulled out a copy of “Journey to the West” and handed it to Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji opened the book, but she didn’t react at first, but soon after he noticed that there were hundreds of words written on the book in his hand, it was only a thin page, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

“What’s this?”

   “I don’t know, but what is certain is that our ‘old friend’ probably made another incredible thing.”

  When Han Fei first got started in the bookstore, he had already realized the convenience of “paper” compared to bamboo slips.

   Lighter.

   Easier to write.

   And… cheaper prices.

  The traditional text carrier “Bamboo Slips” is not cheap to manufacture. Even if it is the cheapest blank bamboo slips to sell to the outside world, it often costs more than a dozen dollars for a roll.

   And if it is a letter that records the content, one volume will start with fifty big money, and there is no cap.

  It seems that a volume of letters is similar to a current book, and even the price of the book sold here is a little higher.

   But don’t forget.

  A roll of bamboo slips can record hundreds of characters at most.

  But now this thin book contains at least tens of thousands of words.

   From this point of view, compared with the bamboo slips, the current books are at least a hundred times more cost-effective.

  If you add the advantages of books such as easier writing, light weight, and easy transportation…then the advantages of books compared with bamboo slips are hundreds of times stronger.

  In today’s era when a hundred schools of thought are contending, all schools of thought are doing their best to expand their influence and spread their academic thoughts and concepts.

  Once this new type of text carrier “paper” spreads out.

  Even if Han Fei thought with his ass, he could guess what kind of uproar this would cause in the Jianghu.

   “However, what is the purpose of this guy doing this?”

  Although he didn’t get along with that guy for a long time, Han Fei thought he knew him to a certain extent. In Han Fei’s impression, Mo Jun could definitely be regarded as a qualified businessman.

  Because the other party is completely a person who has no profit and can’t afford it early.

  If it was said that Mo Jun released “Journey to the West” this time just to expand his reputation by writing books, Han Fei would never believe it.

   Besides this, Han Fei had a faint feeling that there seemed to be another important secret hidden in these books that he hadn’t discovered, but he couldn’t find the clue for a while.

  ······

   And when Han Fei was shocked by the’paper’, in the carriage ahead, Fusu was holding a copy of “Journey to the West” that Ge Nie had just bought, and his eyes were shining.

   “Mr. Gai Nie, is this the ‘paper’ invented by Mr. Shengping?”

“yes!”

   “Shohei-kun is really a god. I will definitely become a person like my teacher in the future.”

   Fusu said with a face full of admiration. His eyes were so bright that they were about to burst into stars.

  This time, Fusu’s mother specially sent here, and a servant who took care of Fusu’s daily life was hesitant to speak when he heard this.

  He actually wanted to remind Fusu that when you come to Hanzhong this time, the eldest son, what you should care most about is not studying, but Lord Shengping himself. That is the biggest gain that the eldest son can get from coming to Hanzhong this time.

   It’s a pity that although Fusu’s mother had told him about this servant, he was only a servant after all, and he couldn’t talk freely in front of his master.

  Especially now that Gai Nie, the former chief guard and swordsmanship teacher of the Qin throne, is on the carriage, it is even more impossible for him to open his mouth.

   Not long.

  Fusu and Han Fei’s carriages stopped in front of [Mo Mansion] one after another.

  After the concierge communicated, Mo Jun quickly walked out of [Mo Mansion].

   “Fusu pays homage to the teacher.”

   “The eldest son doesn’t need to be too polite.”

  Mr. Mo stretched out his hand to help Fusu Xu up. The matter of Fusu worshiping Mr. Mo as his teacher was something that Ying Zheng and Mr. Mo had already decided.

  So even though Fusu hasn’t paid homage ceremony with Mo Jun yet, it’s not a problem for the other party to call Mo Jun his teacher.

   Fusu is probably only in his early ten years old now.

  Although Mr. Mo has seen Fusu as an adult in the original book, this is the first time he has seen Fusu as a child. Generally speaking, he really looks like Yingzheng.

   “Mr. Ge Nie, we meet again.”

   “Mr. Shengping is polite.”

   Jun Mo and Gai Nie bowed to each other again.

   It hasn’t been long since the two met last time, so the two sides are not so polite.

After that, Mo Jun looked at Han Fei and Yan Lingji who were on the side. Although Mo Jun was in Hanzhong before and got the news of Han Fei’s envoy to Qin, but at this time Han Fei suddenly came to Hanzhong, but it was a bit shocking. Mo Jun was surprised.

   “Ninth Young Master, long time no see.”

   “I haven’t seen you in a few years, and I have taken the liberty to come here to disturb Mr. Shengping. Please don’t be offended by Mr. Shengping.” Han Fei politely said.

   “Wherever you are, please come in first!”

  Mr. Mo smiled and greeted Han Fei for a while, then turned away and invited everyone into the Mo House.

   Come to the lobby.

   Wait until the servants of the Mo Mansion serve everyone a cup of tea.

  Mr. Mo then opened his mouth and said, “I don’t know what advice the Ninth Young Master has come here this time?”

  Han Fei smiled lightly and said, “Mr. Sheng Ping is too close to me. I originally came here just to meet an ‘old friend’ and have no other plans.”

  Mr. Mo smiled when he heard the words, and didn’t care about Han Fei’s negotiating skills.

  In fact, with the relationship between Mr. Mo and Han Fei, if it were normal, the two might really be able to talk on the ground, but unfortunately, given the current situation in South Korea and Qin, the two are destined to be impossible to communicate like before.

   “Master Jiu said ‘originally’, so what about now?”

   “Sigh~~ It seems that Mr. Shengping is a bit contemptuous of his superiors! Anyway, if this is the case, I really have another doubt when I come to Hanzhong this time.”

   As he spoke, Han Fei suddenly reached out and took out a copy of “Journey to the West” from his pocket, and asked slowly, “I wonder if Mr. Shengping can help me?”

  Han Fei is obviously a very shrewd person. In his seemingly ordinary question, there is also another negotiation technique.

  That is, although he was asking Mo Jun, he didn’t ask any specific questions. If someone didn’t pay attention, he might answer some questions that Han Fei himself didn’t notice.

  But now Mr. Mo doesn’t care about such small tricks at all.

  So Mo Jun chuckled, and said directly: “Because I want to build an academy, but I lack a few teachers, so I made these things.”
