The market in Tonghui Fang was very empty.
Compared to other markets, it was as if there was no one there at all.
Not to mention the vendors, there were not even many children playing here. Everyone knew that the people in Tonghui Fang had gone to Xiao Mountain to make a fortune.
Therefore, why would these profit-seeking businessmen come here?
But today, Tonghui Fang was very popular.
No one knew who had suddenly appeared in Tonghui Lane with a piece of paper that no one had ever seen before. Moreover, it spread rapidly in Chang 'an City like a single spark starting a prairie fire.
At first, people could see some of these papers in Finger Teahouse and Tavern.
But after a while, some women and children appeared on the streets of Tonghui Fang. They carried bamboo baskets in their hands and gave the people they saw a piece of white paper.
Paper was very rare.
After all, ordinary people would not have seen this kind of thing before.
Even if it was a hundred copper coins per catty, they would rarely use it, let alone a thousand copper coins per catty. But today, something strange happened. No one knew where this person came from, but he actually gave away a kind of white paper that no one had ever seen before.
At first, everyone thought that it was a good thing from the Western Region. But slowly, they realized that on the bottom right corner of the paper, there were four small characters: White Deer College!
When they saw these words, everyone was stunned.
They were all stunned.
"Could it be that these white papers were made by the people from White Deer College?"
Everyone had this suspicion in their hearts.
The women and children who gave out the paper ignored them and continued to walk along Tonghui Fang to the Eastern Market.
"Come, come, come. Don't miss this chance!"
"Where can you find good white paper?"
"Come and take a look, all of you! Do you want free white paper? "
More and more people gathered as the shouts rang out. Niu Weili from the Chang 'an yamen also received a piece of white paper. He frowned as he stared at the small characters of White Deer College and muttered, "Could it be that this paper was made by Lord Zhang?"
Ever since Zhang Feng had come, Niu Weili had been the focus of everyone's attention on Zhang Feng.
It couldn't be helped. Every inch of land in Chang 'an City was worth its weight in gold. Maybe you could meet someone you couldn't afford to offend. Of course, this Zhang Feng was someone Niu Weili couldn't afford to offend.
After Zhang Feng went to Mount Xiao, Niu Weili paid special attention to his every move.
Every time something happened from Xiao Mountain, Niu Weili would have the illusion that the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. If it were anyone else, they would have already been beheaded by the authorities. However, on the second day, a lot of braised meat appeared in Chang 'an City. Moreover, it was pork!
This kind of braised meat did not have a fishy smell. Instead, it was soft, glutinous, fragrant, and delicious, making people unable to stop eating. After that, the great scholars came to visit, the three generals came together, and the properties of those nobles in Chang 'an City were all replaced by this braised meat shop. Every time Niu Weili heard about it, his heart would tremble a little.
But now?
This Lord Zhang actually fiddled with this thing again and again in such a short time. What is he trying to do?
Can't he let people live in peace?
Niu Weili suddenly felt that he couldn't stay in the county government of Chang 'an City anymore. Every two or three days, Lord Zhang would give him a wave of unexpected things. How can he let people live in peace?
Niu Weili gently rubbed the paper on his face. Then, he wanted to write something. But after thinking about it, he finally changed to the smallest pen and wrote Niu Weili's name on the corner of the white paper.
Niu Weili couldn't sit still after comparing it with the previous rice paper.
Whether it was the ability of the paper to absorb ink or something else, it was a hundred times better than rice paper!
After writing on rice paper, it would take at least ten minutes to dry it. But what about this white paper?
It would only take a few breaths of time to completely dry it!
"Guards!"
"Guards!"
"Send someone here!"
In Niu Weili's hurried shout, the guards stumbled into Niu Weili's bedroom.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"Quickly, quickly go and get all the paper from the people on the street who give this kind of paper to me! If there's no other way, buy their paper with money! "
The guards couldn't help but look bitter when they heard this.
He took out a few neatly folded pieces of paper from his arms and said, "Sir, I've asked around. Those papers, no matter how much money you give them, they won't sell them!"
"What?"
"They won't sell them? How can there be idiots in this world who don't want to make money? "
Niu Weili was confused.
The guards said even more bitterly, "Sir, you don't know. Even if the teachers from the Imperial College came in person, those pedantic women wouldn't sell them at all!"
"…"
There was such a saying?
What was this for?
Such good paper …
Suddenly, Niu Weili seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly took off his official robe and asked hurriedly, "How many of those people sent the paper? Where are they now? "
"This … I'm not sure. At first, there were only a dozen people. But now, they're basically everywhere in Chang 'an City. Moreover, there are dozens of people lining up at the entrance of Ming De Anhua Qixia in Chang' an City. They're all sent to people who enter and leave the city! Now, carriages and horses can't pass through the city gate. "
"…"
