But when Tang Qi left the palace gate, he was immediately blocked by a group of unfamiliar officials.

There were about seven or eight people, all dressed as mid-level civil servants. When they saw Tang Qi, they came up to him and asked him all kinds of questions.

"Da Nong Ling, you finally came out!"

"Let me wait for you!"

"Your Majesty is not giving you any trouble, right? If there is any need for you to be promoted or demoted, just give me your orders!"

One of them, a white-haired old man, walked in front, grabbed Tang Qi's hand with lightning speed, and kissed him warmly.

"Oh, Da Nong Ling, it must be very hot in this summer. Why don't you go sit in my house and cool off?"

Being held by a pair of old hands, Tang Qi instantly got goosebumps all over his body.

"Who are you!"

"Young Master, you scared Mr. Tang!" Wei Qing's helpless shout came from behind, "Why are you blocking people at the palace gate again? If you let His Majesty know, you will inevitably get another scolding!"

Only then did Tang Qi realize that the little old man with an unattractive appearance in front of him was actually the young eunuch of one of the nine ministers.

There is no need to ask the people following him, they must all be officials of the Young Mansion.

"Haha, I, Sima Wang, have frightened Da Nong Ling." The little old man let go of Tang Qi's hand with a sneer, "What, it's really a matter of urgency, please don't tell His Majesty!"

When the officers on duty in front of the palace saw Wei Qing, they seemed to have seen a savior: "General, you are here. If you don't come, my subordinates will be forced to attack the old master!"

Two or three steps away from the palace, he led a group of officials to intercept another court official. If he ignored this and let the emperor know about it, they, the gatekeepers, would have to walk around without food.

But Sima Wang looked like he was shaking when he walked, which official would dare to take action?

What to do if someone is killed!

Wei Qing laughed and cursed and drove away a few people: "Stand on your posts, Da Nong Ling and I are here!"

Several officials fled as if they were pardoned.

Seeing that everyone seems to be surprised, do you often do things like blocking people in front of the palace gate?

Tang Qi couldn't help but admire him: "The young man's eunuch is very strong, and he is even more impressive than the lieutenants in the palace!"

"I wonder if the elder is in a hurry to find the junior? What's the matter?"

Sima Wang was full of momentum when he blocked people, but now he suddenly blushed and said coyly: "Actually, it's not a big deal..."

"That is, what is the white and soft thing that you presented to His Majesty in the morning today?"

Before Tang Qi could answer, a younger Shaofu official came out and asked expectantly: "Dare I ask the Da Nong Order, is that 'paper'?"

Tang Qi nodded: "Yes, it's just paper!"

"It's really paper!"

"Is there really such tough and lubricated paper in the world? But I've only seen it in my life!"

"Not even the best craftsmen in the Shaofu can make such good paper!"

"If that kind of paper could be produced in large quantities, wouldn't it be able to replace bamboo slips in the future? After all, bamboo slips are too inconvenient to write on and carry, and the cloth is too expensive, so even non-rich people cannot afford it!"

"You can't say that. Paper is expensive and fragile. It can be used as a supplement to bamboo slips. I'm afraid it's impossible to replace it."

A group of people started arguing like this, completely ignoring that they were still in front of the palace gate.

Tang Qi was amazed when he saw it.

The Shaofu is not only the emperor's chief steward, but also responsible for hundreds of craftsmen. Many of these officials are very proficient in craftsmanship.

Looking at it now, it seems that most Chinese and foreign engineering students are pretty much the same.

Just when Tang Qi thought that they would ask him for the paper formula, Sima Wang suddenly blushed: "Grand Farmer Order, I have something to ask of you."

coming!

Tang Qi said seriously: "Sir, please speak."

If he asked about the paper formula, Tang Qi might disappoint these people.

This is not the improvised straw paper used on the island, but the writing paper that was exchanged in the system and is exactly the same as modern paper.

Although the production formula has not been redeemed yet, Tang Qi has already checked and found that the current system level is sufficient for redemption.

Such a good thing will be a weapon to conquer scholars in the future!

Of course you can’t give it away easily!

"That's the new 'paper'. I wonder if there is any left in the Da Nong Ling Mansion. Can you sell it to me and wait for a few?" Sima Wang's face became increasingly red, as if he felt particularly embarrassed to say what he said, "No need.

There are too many, just a few will be enough, I am willing to pay a high price to buy them, and I will never let Da Nong Ling suffer a loss!"

Tang Qi blurted out in surprise: "Sir, you want to buy paper, don't you want to ask about papermaking?"

"Why did Da Nong Ling say this!" Sima Wang suddenly raised his head and said angrily, "Do I look like such a shameless person? Such rare paper, even if Da Nong Ling's family does have the manufacturing method, then

It must be a secret skill of the clan, how can you just find out about it!"

After finishing speaking, Sima Wang was a little shy again: "I want to buy a few pieces of paper from you, but I'm tired of waiting and plan to go back and study it privately."

"But Da Nong reassures you that even if we really find out something, I and the others will definitely keep their mouths shut and won't tell anyone!"

The other younger officials nodded like chickens pecking at rice and stared at Tang Qi expectantly.

Tang Qi was stunned.

Do you know that the moral standards of ancient people were generally not low, but they were as high as this?

There is also copyright awareness!

He immediately smiled and said: "If that's the case, I do have a lot of paper left at home. Sir, I just need to send a family member to go back with me to get it. There is no need to talk about money."

Improving paper is a long process of technological progress. It is not based on the research results of countless predecessors and cannot be easily researched by ancient people.

So Tang Qi was indeed not afraid that Sima Wang was just coaxing him, not to mention there was no need.

"Thank you so much, Da Nong Ling!" Sima Wang said with great joy, "But I still have to give you the money that should be given. Da Nong Ling is short of money now, how can I take advantage of others' danger?"

"Let's do this. At the price of a hundred coins each, I and my colleagues are willing to buy a hundred tickets! I will send someone to deliver the money to my house later!"

After saying this, without giving Tang Qi a chance to refuse, the group of people immediately mounted their horses and rushed away.

Tang Qi was amazed: "Master Sima is probably seventy or eighty years old, and he is still so strong!"

"My lord just celebrated his seventieth birthday a few days ago." Wei Qing explained, but obviously he was not as leisurely as Tang Qi.

"Sir, you said there is a way, what kind of way is it?" Wei Qing frowned, "Can you tell me something first so that His Majesty will not worry so much."

Tang Qi smiled and said nothing.

The two of them went back all the way until they arrived at the gate of Anding Hou Mansion. Wei Qing was still unwilling to leave: "Sir, you can just reveal whatever you want so that Wei Qing can report to His Majesty!"

Tang Qi was helpless. He originally planned to give Liu Che a surprise, but now it seems that Emperor Wu of Han's desire for control is really no joke.

He could only smile mysteriously: "General, who do you think is the richest among these big men?"

Wei Qing thought for a while: "Your Majesty?"
