Ji Ren left happily, taking with him the fresh printing skills.
Wang Liangyu looked at Ji Ren's back and couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation for what would happen next.
With papermaking, printing, and the collection of classics, the culture of this world will be more prosperous than ever before, probably several times more lively than the contention of a hundred schools of thought in history!
Just as he was feeling emotional, Wang Liangyu suddenly noticed something strange around him. He turned around and saw that the old man next to him was actually crying.
"Senior, what's going on?" Wang Liangyu was a little panicked and looked nervously at Zhang Yang aside.
Zhang Yang slowly shook his head and said with a feeling on his face: "Don't worry, sir, he was just excited for the moment." After that, seeing Wang Liangyu's confused look, he couldn't help but explain, "Sir, you are a veteran of the Zhou Dynasty. He saw that the Zhou Dynasty was about to be revived, so
That’s why I’m so excited!”
Wang Liangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, then he realized another problem.
Historically, Laozi saw the Zhou Dynasty declining more and more, so he left Hangu Pass in the west and traveled around the world.
At present, Lao Tzu, who has started wandering around, was invited by his disciple Zhang Yang to compile classics for the empty Shouzang and stayed in Luoyi. However, this is only temporary. At the earliest, half a year, and at the latest, a year, I will continue to travel westward.
But now, with the blessing of papermaking and printing, the declining Zhou royal family has begun to flourish. Will I, an old minister of the Zhou royal family, continue to wander?
If I had not left Hangu Pass in the west, had not met Yin Xi, the commander of Hangu Pass, and had not been forced to leave an invitation by Yin Xi, then would the Tao Te Ching, which has shocked the past and present and is known as the king of all scriptures, still have been born?
Thinking of this, Wang Liangyu couldn't help but look at Lao Tzu again, and suddenly felt a sense of nervousness in his heart: "If the Tao Te Ching is blown away by butterfly wings, then my sin will be great!"
"No, I have to give me some inspiration!" Wang Liangyu thought for a while and decided to instill something in me so that I could write the Tao Te Ching even if I didn't meet Yin Xi.
As a result, in the days that followed, Wang Liangyu would talk to me about the true meaning of Taoism intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes, he would risk revealing the truth and show off the famous sayings in the Tao Te Ching in front of the author, Lao Tzu.
After some operations, Wang Liangyu could clearly feel that I was brewing something.
In the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring.
With all plans in mind, Wang Liangyu has stayed in Luoyi for nearly eight months.
In the past eight months, Wang Liangyu spent almost all his time in the collection room, reading martial arts classics and sorting out ancient classics. In the process, he not only increased his knowledge, but also broadened his horizons, and his martial arts cultivation skills also improved unknowingly.
Advance by leaps and bounds.
On this day, the wind was warm and sunny, the spring was warm, the flowers were blooming, and the grass was growing and the orioles were flying.
Wang Liangyu rarely chose to rest, and was going to take Ah Qing to visit the ever-changing Luoyi.
Since arriving in Luoyi, Ah Qing has been by Wang Liangyu's side. Even though Wang Liangyu spent most of his time in the storage room, she remained unswervingly at Ji Ren's manor, waiting for Wang Liangyu to return, and then enjoyed it with a smile.
In this little time, I chatted with Wang Liangyu and shared my experiences of the day.
Never complain, just enjoy it.
Faced with this girl who is full of herself, how can Wang Liangyu cruelly refuse?
While recalling the few good times, Wang Liangyu looked towards the backyard and became nervous for no reason: "Why haven't you come out yet?"
Just as he was muttering, a figure walked slowly out of the backyard.
It was none other than Ah Qing.
Ah Qing was wearing a long aqua dress, with her hair in a bun and a crisp jade hairpin. Her fair face was smeared with a touch of rouge, making her look even more delicate and bright.
Seeing Wang Liangyu, Ah Qing's bright eyes became even brighter. He ran over quickly and said crisply: "Brother Liangyu, please wait!"
Listening to A Qing's soft words, Wang Liangyu stroked A Qing's hair, shook his head with a chuckle, and then said seriously: "A Qing, you are very beautiful today!"
After traveling through several worlds, Wang Liangyu has had many confidantes, but Wang Liangyu has never been a man who pleases girls. He doesn't understand romance, and he doesn't know how to sweet talk. Even when he speaks, he shows low emotional intelligence. When he opens his mouth, he always gives such compliments.
If a girl in later generations heard this, she would immediately ask, "Wasn't I beautiful before?"
Fortunately, Ah Qing was a simple-minded person. When she suddenly heard Wang Liangyu's praise, she felt her face turn red with embarrassment and couldn't speak. However, her heart was overjoyed. It was no wonder that she got up early in the morning to dress up.
Wang Liangyu didn't know that he had escaped. He took Ah Qing's tender white hand and walked out of the manor slowly.
The manor is located in the west city of Luoyi, close to Luoshui. It was originally a place where the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty lived. Later, it gradually became depressed due to the decline of the Zhou royal family. The former nobles either migrated or disappeared. By the time Wang Liangyu first came, there were not many families here anymore.
However, Xicheng is extremely prosperous now.
Because various factories such as paper mills and printing plants are built here.
The reason why this factory is built here is that Xicheng is Ji Ren's territory, which makes it easier to manage; and secondly, it is close to Luoshui River and has abundant water power.
As the saying goes, help people to the end and send Buddha to the West.
Wang Liangyu gave away the papermaking and printing technologies. There was no need to hide the water-powered machinery such as the water hammer for pounding paper pulp, the air blower for iron smelting, etc. He took them all out and gave them to Ji Ren.
After Ji Ren obtained these technologies, he immediately started construction, and as a result, there were factories all along the waterfront in Xicheng.
In addition to a large number of factories, Xicheng has more shops.
Everything thrives when there are more people, not to mention the business brought in by factories such as paper mills and printing plants. Just like the development zones of later generations, it has a strong agglomeration effect, and a large number of shops open like crazy.
In just a few months, this once depressed West City was transformed into a prosperous place full of people today.
Wang Liangyu held Ah Qing's hand and walked on the streets of Luoyi's west city. He looked at the pedestrians coming and going, listened to the shouts one after another, felt the popularity of the fireworks in the prosperous age, and felt a little excited for no reason.
All of this has its own merit!
Just as I was feeling emotional, I suddenly saw a group of people gathered together not far away, and faint cries could be heard among them.
There is excitement!
Wang Liangyu thought about it and pulled Ah Qing and ran over quickly.
After crawling through the human wall, Wang Liangyu and Ah Qing squeezed into the innermost part, where they saw a young man dressed as an aristocrat whipping a ragged beggar, cursing loudly while beating him.
"Have I encountered a classic scenario of encountering a dude on the road?" Wang Liangyu muttered in his heart, but did not take action rashly. While holding Ah Qing, who was about to take action angrily, he listened to the conversations of the onlookers, trying to find out.
Clear the situation.
After a while, Wang Liangyu figured out the situation.
The thing was very simple. The beggar was begging for food on the roadside, but he accidentally bumped into a noble young man. The young man became furious on the spot and beat the beggar after he was caught.
In Wang Liangyu's opinion, the fault must have been with the noble young man. Even if he wanted to teach the beggar a lesson, there was no need to beat him so harshly. It was too much.
However, in this era, a beggar is no better than a slave. It is just a cheap life, and not many people care about it at all.
At this moment, the young man suddenly raised the wooden stick in his hand high and hit the beggar on the head. Judging from its strength, if the stick went down, the beggar would be in danger.
Seeing this, Wang Liangyu had no choice but to take action, raised his hand and flicked his fingers, landing on the wooden stick in the young man's hand.
The wooden stick that was about to hit the beggar's head was raised instantly, and then it was thrown out of the young man's hand, flew for more than ten steps and fell to the ground.
When the young man saw this, he was first shocked, then furious. He turned around and shouted loudly: "Who?"
"This young master, can you be merciful and spare his life?" Wang Liangyu coughed lightly, stepped out of the crowd, and said slowly.
The young man looked Wang Liangyu up and down and asked with some vigilance: "Who are you and what is your relationship with him?"
"It doesn't matter if we meet by chance!" Wang Liangyu shook his head, and then said, "I just saw that your Excellency was ruthless and might kill him, so I spoke out to dissuade him!"
