Father can be an enemy to the country
Chapter 928 A piece of toilet paper can also be of great use
To be cautious, Zhu Zhen asked again: "It's the kind of lamp that can fly into the sky when lit."
"How can a lamp fly into the sky?" Aaron looked confused. He racked his brains and couldn't find any relevant memory, so he said firmly: "I have never seen or heard of it."
"It's not like you've been wandering into ravines all day, and you have too little experience, right?" Zhu Zhen looked at him and said unconvinced: "It's not just that you haven't seen it, but everyone in Pudingbao has seen it, so that's funny. ”
"How is it possible? I am the grandson of Shuixi Bimo, and I grew up in Guizhou City!" Aaron blushed: "How could they, bumpkins from the mountains, have seen something that I have never seen before? !”
He was really angry and said to himself, even if you are the prince, I will not forgive you.
"That makes sense." Zhu Zhen pointed to the telescope around his neck and said, "I'll reward you."
Aaron lost his temper immediately, and then smiled and thanked him: "Your Highness is so kind."
"Haha, I am very generous to the people around me." Zhu Zhen smiled and waved his hand, letting him play.
Then he said to Mu Ying: "If they had never seen the Kongming Lantern, this matter would be easier to handle. It is a powerful tool for pretending to be a ghost."
"Yes." Mu Ying nodded, but frowned: "It's just that we don't have anything on hand. Even if we immediately send people back to Guizhou to collect materials for making Kongming lanterns, it will be too late to come back."
"Well, it will definitely be three days later when the gate of ghosts opens. The most shocking thing is to give them the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Parade'." Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "If we go back to Guizhou to get the materials, it will take four days at the fastest even to bring them back. You definitely missed the best opportunity.”
"Actually, it's not that the door of hell will open in three days, but two days." Mu Ying corrected him: "It's already the early morning of the next day, so returning to Guizhou to collect materials will not miss the best opportunity, but it will be completely too late."
"Be rigorous." Zhu Zhen nodded, clapped his hands on his thighs and said, "Then just use local materials and do it yourself! Just a Kongming Lantern, what's the problem?"
"Can we get the materials together?" Mu Ying didn't believe it.
"Let's take a look first." Zhu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there is any problem."
"Okay." Mu Ying nodded, and just about to stand up and give the order, Aron on the side endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but remind the two of them: "Even if you can really scare them out of their wits, what's the use? With just a hundred of us, What can person No. 10 do?"
"We can attack the city. One of our Ming Dynasty warriors can defeat a hundred. This few people are enough." Zhu Zhen boasted first, then changed the subject and said: "However, this is Mrs. Shexiang's bet. We can't interfere. Otherwise, we won’t be able to tell clearly in the future.”
"..." Aaron said speechlessly: "After all, no one has attacked the city."
"Don't worry," Zhu Zhen stopped teasing him and said with determination: "As soon as Madam Shexiang hears that the king has come to Puding Fort, she will definitely send reinforcements to protect the king."
"Really?" Aaron asked in surprise.
"Definitely." Mu Ying said calmly: "You Naiye have already staked everything. If something happens to His Highness and I, she will definitely lose, so she will definitely send troops to protect us."
"What if we Noye don't send anyone?" Aron was still worried. How could they be so calm about such a big matter?
"There is no chance, because she is Mrs. Shexiang!" Zhu Zhen smiled and patted Alon's shoulder and said: "Instead of worrying here, you might as well go back to greet her. Don't get sidetracked. It’s funny.”
"No, I left a mark on the way here. We will definitely be able to find them along the way." Even so, Aaron immediately set off to meet the reinforcements that the two nobles said would definitely appear.
~~
His Highness King Chu gave an order, and everyone spread out all their belongings on the floor.
Zhu Zhen and Mu Ying walked around and were surprised to find that there was no shortage of the most difficult material to obtain - paper.
Almost every one of his guards has two or three thick rolls of paper in their baggage, and some even have more...
When Zhu Zhen saw it, he thought: Why does it look so familiar?
He picked up a roll of paper, pulled out a piece at random, and saw that it was white in color. He swiped it with his finger and felt it was soft to the touch.
No wonder it looks so familiar. It turns out to be rough-edged paper provided free of charge to college students by Guozi University for calligraphy practice.
"Why do you bring this?" Lao Liu asked curiously, holding the roll of paper in his hand.
"This, this..." All the guards murmured, not daring to answer, and all looked at Hu Xian.
"Ah..." Hu Xian, the boss, had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Practice, practice calligraphy, doesn't His Highness want me to urge them to study hard? He asked Mr. Luo for some paper and gave it to them so that they could Practice more.”
"Oh, that's it." Zhu Zhen said with a moved face: "I don't forget to practice calligraphy even when I go out on a mission. It's really disrespectful."
"Didn't you say that if you don't practice handcrafting for three days?" The guards said, "If we don't practice for one day, we will feel uncomfortable all over."
"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded.
"That's a fart!" Zhu Zhen scolded angrily: "You think I'm stupid, don't you?! You are the only ones who still practice calligraphy with such arrogant looks!"
"You can't just use paper when practicing calligraphy. Show me your pen and ink. If anyone can bring out a pen, I will spare him!" As he said that, he looked at Hu Xian's head with the roll of paper and said:
"Take it, take it!"
"No..." Hu Xian didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said honestly: "That was the plan at first, but then they found that this paper is particularly suitable for wiping butts, so they changed it to toilet paper..."
"I don't know that!" Zhu Zhen said angrily: "Paper is only useful to you guys, why don't you write on it! Writing a note is just about the same!"
"You are so arrogant and extravagant! You are so wasteful to make me laugh at others!"
No wonder King Chu was angry, paper was still very precious in this era. Common people use tree leaves and dirt to wipe their buttocks, and the more sophisticated ones use toilet chips, also called toilet sticks. It is a piece of bamboo with one end polished smooth.
It is said that Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, also used this thing. It is said that he also personally helped the monks below to peel the toilet chips, fearing that the thorns would pierce the monk's chrysanthemum, and even tested the smoothness of the bamboo slices with his face... The so-called "the empress of the emperor peeled the monks' toilets" If it is simple, try it on the cheek. If there are few thorns, then repair it again. ’
It wasn't until the Yuan Dynasty that the royal family began to wipe their butts with paper, and they used "resurrection paper", which was to wash away the ink from waste paper, soak it in a tank, and then recycle it. After Boss Zhu became emperor, he still insisted on using toilet chips as a commoner at first. Later, he developed hemorrhoids after sitting for a long time, so he had to change to resurrecting paper.
These guys are actually better than the emperor. Can Lao Liu not be angry? But he wasn't too angry because he used it better than them...
