Outside the door, Zhang Yu squatted all afternoon and almost dozed off out of boredom. When he saw Xia Yu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him happily.
"Military advisor, you are so knowledgeable, so many adults listen to your lectures."
"You can listen too." Xia Yu smiled.
Zhang Yu scratched his head in embarrassment: "How can I learn from a rough guy? When I was a child, my family asked me to attend a private school, and I fell asleep as soon as I heard it."
Xia Yu: "..." It seems that it is indeed unrealistic to expect to kill Han people for learning.
Zhang Yu caught a glimpse of Xia Yu holding a lot of paper in his hand, and quickly took it diligently: "Commander, I'll get it. Are you going to study with so much paper when you go back?"
"No, just a butt wiper." Xia Yu said lazily.
By the way, going to the toilet in ancient times was a big inconvenience.
Can you believe it? There is no toilet paper now. From the vendors to the emperor, everyone uses toilet paper.
Well, it's just small wood or bamboo chips, hard to scrape.
Can you bear this?
Anyway, in the past two days, Xia Yu had been extremely nauseous. Even his back was covered with hot anus remnants and bruises all over the place, which made him crazy.
Nowadays, when I see so much paper, if I don't want to take advantage of it, when will I wait?
It just so happens that the current paper is soft and not scratchy enough, but it is perfect for wiping buttocks. The soft and comfortable feeling must be wonderful.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he was stunned.
You know, paper was valuable in ancient times. It is not an exaggeration to exchange a piece of paper for a pound of rice. Otherwise, why would the poor not be able to afford school?
Therefore, when Zhang Yu heard that someone was so crazy that he wanted to wipe his butt with paper, Zhang Yu suddenly felt bad.
There is a feeling of collapse of outlook on life.
"Look at how cowardly you are, what's the matter?" Xia Yu saw this, with a look of contempt on his face: "I am in Guigu, and I wipe my butt with paper every day."
"Plop!" On the side, someone seemed to fall down after hearing the sound.
Xia Yu turned around in surprise and saw a handsome and somewhat feminine man getting up from the ground, looked at him as if he was a ghost, and ran away as if he was flying.
"..."
Xia Yu was speechless for a while: Who is this? Why does he look like a psycho? It seems familiar, but he can't remember where he has seen it.
Xia Yu shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore, and just turned around in a swaggering manner.
In the handsome tent, a giant tallow candle was lit, making it as bright as day.
Li Shimin stood alone in front of the sand table, quietly pondering the specific military strategies for the southern and northern fronts, his eyes wise and sharp.
At this moment, the handsome and somewhat feminine man rushed into the tent like a dog biting.
He was still running out of breath and looked anxious.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Li Shimin was stunned and said angrily: "Why are you panicking? Where has your usual composure gone? Is the sky falling, or is there a dog chasing you?"
This person's name is Zhang Anan.
He is not a man, certainly not a woman, but a eunuch.
Li Shimin has two confidants around him. One is Wang De, who controls the secret guard of the King of Qin and currently stays in the Prince Qin's Mansion in Chang'an.
The other one, this Ananda, was in charge of the eight hundred guards of the Prince of Qin's palace.
From this alone we can see that this is by no means a simple character!
In Li Shimin's eyes, Zhang Anan had excellent swordsmanship, knew military strategy, was calm and precise, and was a rare talent.
If he were not a eunuch, he could be a general.
Zhang Anan usually hides beside Li Shimin and does not show off his appearance, just like a sword hiding its edge.
Li Shimin had never seen such a panic at this time, and he couldn't help but thought: Could there be some trouble?
After being scolded, Zhang Anan looked embarrassed.
He composed himself and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, I have inquired clearly. In the afternoon, the military advisor has been giving lectures to Sir Feng and others."
"Lecture?" Li Shimin looked surprised: "What are you talking about?"
He also heard that the civil service area was very lively in the afternoon, so he sent Zhang Anan to inquire.
"I heard that Arabic numerals and statistics are all very powerful secret techniques of Guigu, which can increase the efficiency of calculations dozens of times!" Zhang Ananda said with admiration.
King Xiao Qin's mouth suddenly opened into an 'O' shape. Although he didn't understand at all, he seemed very powerful and awesome.
"Okay! Okay!" Finally, Li Shimin came to his senses and clapped his thigh excitedly: "The military advisor is indeed a scholar of heaven and earth. Such secret skills will be of great use to the court and the army. I want to take credit for the military advisor."
He, Li Shimin, is very particular about people, and Xia Yu can be selfless, so why should he be generous with rewards?
Suddenly, Li Er said in confusion: "This is a good thing. Why were you panicking just now?"
"Uh-" Zhang Ananda hesitated a little.
"Speak quickly." After all, Li Shimin is young and impatient.
"No." Zhang Anan had no choice but to say: "Didn't His Highness ask your servant to go and ask for the military adviser? When the servant found the military adviser, he heard something."
"What words?"
"The military advisor took a lot of paper and said it was for wiping our butts." Zhang Ananda said bravely.
ah!?
King Xiao Qin's mouth opened into an 'O' shape again. He suspected that he had heard wrongly, and he quipped, "You're talking about going to the toilet?"
"Yeah." Zhang Anan nodded.
"Are you sure?" Li Shimin asked again without giving up.
"Slave, you are sure."
"You damn bastard!" King Xiao Qin suddenly went crazy.
In the Tang Dynasty, what was paper?
It is a cultural and educational holy object, and it contains knowledge. It is a royal relative and a noble family. It is also cherished and do not dare to waste it.
Nowadays, it is being used to wipe people's butts. Even the emperor dare not be so extravagant!
It’s even more insulting to Chi Guoguo’s culture!
If this spreads out, it will inevitably attract countless verbal and written criticisms. Maybe some old masters will shout something like "Heaven punishes the national traitors" and cause a lot of trouble.
Li Shimin finally understood why Zhang Ananda, who had always been calm and composed, was as panicked as a rabbit and rushed back without even asking anyone.
What a headache!
"Your Highness, do you want to call the military advisor and reprimand him?" Zhang Anan said cautiously.
Li Shimin hesitated: "You, tell me, is this the habit of the Guigu family? Life is more comfortable?"
Zhang Anan was stunned: "..." He was very smart and immediately understood: Your Highness is trying to clear your name for the military advisor?
"My slave seems to have heard the military advisor say that he always used paper to go to the toilet in Ghost Valley. It seems that this is his habit."
"As expected!" Li Shimin looked relieved: "Are you an expert from this world? It's inevitable that you have some quirks. It's understandable, right?"
Zhang Ananda was shocked: Your Highness, you love your talents as much as your life, you are so unscrupulous, aren't you?
However, the leader is always right, so he had no choice but to say with a face of disobedience: "What His Highness said is true. But if it spreads -"
"Do you know how to pass it on? Or do you know how to pass it on?" Li Shimin snorted coldly and glanced over with an unkind look.
Zhang Ananda panicked and said, "I will keep my mouth shut."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you go ask the military advisor to come over, talk to me about something, and have a meal together."
"No." Zhang Anan turned around and walked away.
"Wait a minute." Li Shimin suddenly hesitated: "Well, you can bring some more paper to the military advisor and let him, uh, use it for learning."
Zhang Ananda staggered and almost fell down: Your Highness, you are so kind to the military advisor, but you really have no moral integrity at all. He pinched his nose and said, "Yes, Your Highness." He ran away in embarrassment.
"Hey." Li Shimin sighed leisurely with a wry smile on his face.
In the past, he had always felt that it was not difficult to seek talents and be courteous to virtuous officers. He had such a big heart and could do a good job.
But now it seems that it is not easy.
Is it true that the more talented people are, the more eccentric they are? Li Shimin fell into deep doubts.
In fact, a few pieces of paper are nothing. In order to attract talents, he can spend a lot of money. What he is afraid of is that if this matter gets out, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Although Xia Yu will be scolded all over his head, he will also inevitably suffer.
However, since he had just arrived and his previous living habits were like this, Li Shimin was embarrassed to criticize him. This would make him appear to be very heartless and unorganized.
If he doesn't do it well, he may lose his great talent.
For a moment, the poor little King Qin, whose head was as big as a bucket, felt that it was really difficult for him as the lord, and he had to consider all aspects.
