Next, Lu Yan organized people to teach the art of papermaking.
The people in Jiangzuofu are very mixed. I believe that many people will pay attention to this place because of the papermaking issue.
However, he never intended to monopolize papermaking or use it to make profits. Because in this world, I believe that as soon as paper appears, "piracy" by various forces will be rampant in a short time. It is not surprising that there are even people among the people who can make paper.
.
Making paper not only increased prestige, but more importantly, it broke the aristocracy's monopoly on knowledge. Paper appeared in large quantities first. After a few years, Qin's productivity increased, and then education became a matter of course.
The place became busy, and all parties were not idle. Due to Lu Yan's indulgence, many forces obtained the papermaking methods from the bribed people, and began to proceed simultaneously.
The days passed quickly, and Lao Ai returned to Xianyang carelessly.
Naturally, he came back because he had something to do, and he was responsible for organizing this year's Spring Festival.
This may sound a bit unbelievable. Ceremonies such as agricultural sacrifices are very grand and grand at this time, and are usually organized by members of the royal family or important ministers. At that time, the king personally prays for the country, and all officials are also present.
But now Lao Ai has been delegated power by Zhao Ji, the queen mother behind the curtain, and has established a relationship with the clan. Preparing for the Spring Festival really falls on him.
The beginning of spring is the day of the Spring Festival. Speaking of which, Lu Yan missed the first New Year of the Qin State, because the Qin State regarded October 1st as New Year's Day. The six countries also have different New Year's Days, and they are calculated according to the Qin State.
, Lu Yan is already eighteen.
At this time, the Changxin Hou Mansion welcomed a special guest.
Yin Yang Family, Moon God.
Her appearance suddenly appeared at the banquet in the Marquis Mansion, and everyone was shocked.
Duanshui and Mingshi looked even more serious, with three swords unsheathed and assuming a guarded posture.
Lao Ai looked at it and saw that this woman appeared strangely, but she was the Marquis Changxin of the Qin State, and he believed that no one here would dare to deal with him openly.
"Who are you?"
"Yin Yang Family, Moon God."
His eyes became a little wanton, and he swayed the wine in his hand, "The Moon God, the protector of the Yin Yang family, came uninvited. What do you want?"
"My Yin Yang family is the best at stargazing, and a comet will definitely appear on the spring festival day. His Excellency Donghuang said that this matter is closely related to Marquis Changxin, so he specially sent the Moon God to help."
Lao Ai invited the guests with wine, "Yao Hui, is it related to me? Hahaha, the Moon God Protector has an answer. What did you say?"
Moon God's red lips raised slightly, and the words struck everyone's hearts: "Without it, the Lord Black Dragon would be injured."
"What?!"
Those present were all Lao Ai's confidants, and they had different reactions when they heard this.
Some looked happy, others looked solemn, and only a few people were still wary of the Moon God.
Lao Ai calmed her breathing and said sarcastically: "What a joke, for such an important matter, is it just a decoration for me, the Grand Historian of the Qin Palace?"
"Although the Taishi of the Qin Palace also understands the laws of stars, he is still a little inferior to my Yin Yang family. After a few more days, I think the Marquis will be able to get the news."
Seeing that the Moon Goddess looked indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, he finally asked: "Since it is a demon comet, there must be evil, who is this person?"
"Gan Luo."
"Gan Luo?! That child prodigy who went on a mission at the age of twelve?"
"He was carefully trained and recommended to Ying Zheng by Lu Buwei. How is this possible?!"
"If it is really Gan Luo, this is a good opportunity."
Lao Ai stared at the Moon God, trying to detect some traces, "Moon God Protector, although I know that your strength is great, and His Excellency Donghuang of the Yin Yang Family is even more unfathomable, but I hope you are telling the truth about this matter."
"Since Lord Marquis doesn't believe it, Moon Goddess takes his leave."
As she said that, her figure was almost walking out the door.
"Wait a minute."
The corners of Moon Goddess's lips curled up a little.
And the Gan Luo they were talking about was enjoying the grand reception of Qin.
Gan Luo went to Zhao as an envoy and brought back Zhao's son Qian as a hostage, as well as maps of the five cities in Hejian.
The King of Zhao is already gearing up, and the people of Yan are preparing to celebrate the New Year at this time. If they are unprepared, and they use strong Zhao to defeat weak Yan, they will surely gain a lot.
Lu Buwei personally came to greet the high-spirited Gan Luo and sent him to the palace to meet Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at the little man in front of him and the pile of things beside him, and asked, "What are these?"
Gan Luo opened the box and said, "The King of Zhao gave me a hundred yi of gold and a pair of white jade. I entered Zhao in white, and naturally I returned in white. I will present it to the king together with this map of the river."
"Haha, the talent of this boy is far greater than your height. Father Zhong, since Gan Luo has fulfilled his mission, then the promise I made earlier..."
Lu Buwei quickly took over: "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to sweep Ganmao Tian's house. His mother and her family can enter the house at any time."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Gan Luo, I will confer you the title of Shangqing. From now on, you can live in your ancestral home."
Gan Luo's eyes were red, and he thanked with choked sobs, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Gan Mao was once the prime minister of Qin, he eventually defected and fled Qin alone, which led to extremely poor life for Gan Luo's family.
Lu Buwei adopted Gan Luo and protected the whole family. He was extremely kind to him. Gan Luo also treated Lu Buwei as his father.
Now, he was finally able to return to his ancestral home and give his mother an explanation.
After bidding farewell to Lu Buwei, when the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, he did not dare to get out of the car. Finally, with the support of his charioteer, he walked into the ancestral house in a daze.
"mother!"
Gan Luo burst into tears when he saw the figure busy in the house, and threw himself into his mother's arms.
"Luo'er, don't cry, today is a happy day, don't cry..." Despite her persuasion, Gan Mu's tears rolled down her eyes.
When Gan Mao fled, he was still King Zhao of Qin, but now he is King Ying Zheng. In sixty years, there are not many members of the Gan family left.
Everyone hugged each other and cried, but Gan Luo finally struggled, choked with sobs, and arranged things, and the family prepared to spend the night.
At night, Gan Luo, who was lying on the bed, felt that there were countless thoughts entangled in his heart, and he was very confused for some reason. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
He wrapped himself in his clothes and walked out the door. The cool air made him shiver, and before he knew it, he walked to the room where the memorial tablets of his ancestors and fathers were placed.
"Mom? Is that you?"
The only one sitting here at this time is my mother.
Gan Luo walked to his mother's side and sat down slowly, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of these slender and sinister hands, which were definitely not his mother's hands.
"you--"
"Luo Er, what a touching mother-son relationship."
There was clearly a mother's face, but there was a completely different tone. Gan Luo pointed at her hand, trembling.
Cold sweat, already covered with sweat.
"Where did you take your mother?"
Mother Gan opened her old mouth and said with a sinister smile: "You are indeed a child prodigy. This calmness is extraordinary. If you want your mother to survive, kill Ying Zheng on the Spring Festival Day."
Gan Luo's mind was spinning for a moment, "You, you are from Lao Ai!"
"The child prodigy's brain is really good."
"Don't even think about it, this is the crime of killing the nine tribes."
"If you don't do this, you will only have me as your mother in the future."
What should I do, what should I do...
The Spring Festival is only a few days away. Stay calm and calm, so that you can save your mother...
He suppressed all these things and replied: "I understand."
Gan Mu showed a kind smile and her voice returned to its original tone, "Luo'er?"
Gan Luo stared at her, his teeth bleeding from biting his teeth: "Mother~"
