Pirate commander in Qin Shi, his wife Yan Lingji

Chapter 018

In addition to Zilanxuan, Zinu's property in South Korea also includes land, manors, and a caravan. The women under her command are a group of spies who are proficient in martial arts and good at disguising.

Wei Zhuang went to Qijuetang, met Tang Qilao, and pointed out a bright way for Qijuetang.

Soon, Zinu contributed money, Qijuetang contributed, and a paper-making workshop was built, with several women from Zilanxuan as managers and Qijuetang's young and strong disciples as craftsmen, and began to produce paper.

In order to further improve the secrecy of papermaking, according to Li Xuanqing's proposal, Zi Nu conducted an assembly line operation in the papermaking workshop, and divided a dozen steps into a dozen manual workshops.

More than a dozen workshops are closed to each other, and different workshops are only responsible for a single link.

Of course, women from Zilanxuan are in charge of the delicate and technical work, such as "smearing lime juice", "cooking on the kettle, pouring gray water" and so on.

Paper can also be made without these steps, but only rough inferior paper can be obtained.

In this way, the papermaking technology will not be leaked in a short period of time. Even if it is leaked, it can only produce rough paper, which will not pose a threat to Zilanxuan's industry.

Time passed, and it was March in a blink of an eye.

For the past three months, Li Xuanqing has lived in Zilanxuan for a long time. During this period, Ji Wuye searched intermittently several times at night, which was extremely annoying.

Thus, Li Xuanqing went north to Wei State, where he made a major case, completed a stealing task with average difficulty, and appeared in Wei State's rivers and lakes.

Ji Wuye received the information that Li Xuanqing appeared in Wei State, and after searching Zilanxuan many times without results, he stopped staring at Zilanxuan.

Of course, Ji Wuye's ineffectiveness in handling affairs was ultimately ridiculed by the strange yin and yang in the court, and was reprimanded by Han Wang'an, feeling that he had lost his face.

After Li Xuanqing showed up in Wei State, she returned to South Korea that day, and returned to Zilanxuan without anyone noticing, living in Zilanxuan, enjoying flowers and drinking every day, very happy.

In March, the first batch of Huaxia Paper was launched.

With the strong contacts accumulated by Zilanxuan, Korean princes and aristocrats, farm family Siyuetang, Confucianism and Mohism sub-helms, and various factions in the world have business contacts.

As soon as the Huaxia paper came out, all forces snapped it up in one day.

Zi Nu is indeed proficient in the way of merchants, and knows that it takes time to accumulate Huaxia paper to promote the world, so the initial price is not low, but half of today's Xuan paper.

Five taels of silver is a knife, and there are 100 sheets of paper for a knife, and a piece of paper is two feet square.

Xuan paper, one gold and one knife, one gold is one tael of gold, ten taels of silver.

Today, the quality of Huaxia paper is not inferior to that of Xuan paper, but the price is fully reduced by half. The various forces are profitable, so naturally they snap up and sell it everywhere to earn the difference.

They didn't know that Zi Lanxuan was the real winner.

Bamboo, bark, straw, hemp, reed...these raw materials for papermaking are almost costless, and they are inexhaustible in the mountains and forests.

A piece of paper, after deducting the cost, is sold at five taels of silver, and the net profit is as high as four taels of silver and six renminbi, which can be called a huge profit.

The backyard of Zilanxuan, above the courtyard.

call out!call out!

Two figures, one white and one purple, criss-crossed, bursting with true energy, the sword light pierced the strong wind, and the sword energy was piercingly cold.

Li Xuanqing is holding a folding fan, with a calm posture and elegant posture, the folding fan in his hand is as commanding as an arm, whirling like a flower, blocking the red-chained soft sword with his gestures.

The purple girl's delicate body whirled, her jade hand shook, and the red-chained soft sword turned into a deadly poisonous snake. The poisonous snake spat out a letter, and the tip of the sword pierced through the air three feet away, directly hitting Li Xuanqing's heart.

Li Xuanqing dodged sideways, beat the folding fan, stuck to the Chilian soft sword, then used his strength to push, shifted and released the force, and pushed back the Chilian soft sword.

The purple female jade hand pressed the hilt of the sword, and the mechanism was activated. The three-foot soft sword made a crackling sound, and quickly bounced back.

Li Xuanqing was dressed in white, his face was like a crown of jade, his folding fan was swaying, he smiled slightly on his handsome face, and said: "Miss Zi Nu, this finger-wrapping soft sword is really suitable for you."

The 72-way round finger soft sword, created by Wudang Zhenren Zhang, is a superior sword technique. It needs to bend the blade with strong internal force, making it soft and erratic like a soft belt, so that the sword moves are impermanent and difficult. Parry.

Zi Nu's saber is a soft sword with a red chain, which can be easily bent without strong internal force infusion, and the softness and hardness can be changed at will, which is a perfect match for the soft sword with fingers.

Li Xuanqing and Wei Guo and his party completed a task of general difficulty, and the superior swordsmanship they obtained was the 72-way round finger soft sword, as well as their own aptitude for 1 year of cultivation.

Li Xuanqing's cultivation is already close to the peak of the Grand Master of the Outer Gang, and it is estimated that in about a year, he will reach the peak of the Outer Gang.

Zi Nu put away her sword and stood, the red-chained soft sword turned into a belt, and hid it in her clothes, her beautiful eyes smiled and said: "A famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice; I was able to comprehend the true meaning of the finger-wrapping soft sword so quickly, all thanks to Xiangshuai's guidance."

Li Xuanqing looked at Zi Nu and sighed: "It's a pity that Miss Zi Nu has a very good aptitude. Ning Gang."

Zinu is proficient in architecture, business, pharmacology, smelting, brewing, cooking, disguise, making and using poison, and light work. She has learned a lot of skills that help her survive in troubled times, and each of them is at the top level in the world.

There are too many distractions, so Zi Nu has less time to specialize in martial arts.

If you have a top-level teacher, and you can concentrate on practicing martial arts, at Zi Nu's age.Her current cultivation level is definitely higher than that of Wei Zhuang and Li Xuanqing.

You know, although Zi Nu looks pretty and looks pretty in her twenties, Nong Yu, who is sixteen years old, was raised by Zi Nu alone.

Zi Nu's real age is at least close to thirty, and she is a charming and intellectual royal sister.

Nongyu stepped forward and handed the sweat towel to Zinu. The girl showed guilt and said, "If it wasn't for taking care of me and Zilanxuan's sisters all these years, sister Zinu wouldn't be so tired."

Zi Nu smiled gently: "Nongyu, what are you talking about? Zi Lanxuan and sisters are a family, and a family should help each other."

"You have also helped my sister a lot. Without you, Zi Lanxuan would not be where it is today."

Zi Nu said lightly and calmly: "Besides, the Grandmaster of Waigang is a threshold of martial arts, and this realm is enough to block more than [-]% of the world's martial artists."

"Even if my sister and I devote ourselves to martial arts, we may not be able to step into the grandmaster realm."

Li Xuanqing smiled. He knew that Zi Nu was self-effacing. Based on his understanding of Zi Nu, if it weren't for dragging her family to struggle to survive in troubled times, and having a strong teacher, Zi Nu might have become the pure sun of fate and become Grandmaster strong.

Because of this, Zi Nu's human charm is more noble.

Mingming is also struggling to survive, but he can't see the weak suffer; for the kindness in his heart and the bottom line, he gave up to become a stronger self.

Zi Nu seemed to have sensed something, seeing Li Xuanqing staring at her blankly, her ears were slightly burning, and her tone was unnatural: "You, why are you looking at me like this?!"

Li Xuanqing came back to her senses, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry."

At this time, Wei Zhuang came over and stated calmly: "An interesting thing happened outside Xinzheng City last night."

"Oh!?" Li Xuanqing asked, "What interesting things can make Brother Wei Zhuang pay special attention to?"

Chapter 019

Wei Zhuang's life is very simple. He eats, sleeps, and practice swords. He is the genius of Guigu, a dragon character, and he is dormant in Zilanxuan just to wait for an opportunity.

An opportunity to display what I have learned all my life, an opportunity to become famous all over the world.

Wei Zhuang's goal of victory is to defeat senior brother Gai Nie and become the next generation Guiguzi, who surpasses Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

His ultimate goal can be described in one sentence. When he is angry, the princes will be afraid, and if he lives in peace, the world will rest. He wants to become a hero who can control the world.

The things that Wei Zhuang can pay attention to are more or less related to his life plan.

Not only Li Xuanqing was curious, Zi Nu and Nong Yu also looked at Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang stated: "A letter from Qijuetang, outside of Xicheng last night, the [-] military pay that was supposed to be escorted to the border of Nanyang suddenly disappeared."

"On a night of heavy rain, ghost soldiers and ghosts robbed the army's salary, leaving nothing behind."

Li Xuanqing's eyes lit up and said: "Ghost soldiers are robbing wages!"

Interestingly, the plot of Tian Xing Jiu Ge has begun. Counting the time, the master of legalism in history, Han Fei, the ninth son of South Korea, should also return from studying at the Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Zi Nu looked at Li Xuanqing, puzzled and said: "You seem very excited to hear that King Han lost one hundred thousand military pay!?"

Li Xuanqing touched his nose and fell silent.

The plot begins, and Han Fei, Bai Yifei, Ji Wuye, Black and White Xuanjian, Tianze and others will appear one after another, as well as the stunning Yan Lingji who won the title of "National Manga's No. [-] Goddess" as soon as she appeared.

Li Xuanqing thought for a while, and said: "It seems that this is Ji Wuye's handwriting again."

"The [-] military salary disappeared. After a long time, if the military salary cannot be paid, the Nanyang [-] frontier army must be dissatisfied. At that time, Han Wang'an will have to rely even more on the financial resources and military power of Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei to stabilize the army."

"In this way, the 10,000+ South Korean army will be firmly in Yemu's hands, and the status of Ji Wuye and others will be further improved."

Wei Zhuang remained silent.

Li Xuanqing shook his head and said: "Brother Wei Zhuang, with your talent and learning, it is better to go to Chu, Zhao, Wei, Qi, and even Yan than South Korea."

"South Korea has been impoverished and weak for a hundred years. The land of the Four World Wars, the country is small, the population is less than 200 million, the army is more than [-], the monarch Han An is incompetent, and the night organization monopolizes power."

"Let's not talk about the darkness blocking the way, even if you eliminate the darkness and take control of South Korea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything. South Korea's upper limit is too low."

Wei Zhuang said to himself: "Turning decay into magic, turning the impossible into possibility is exactly what my disciples of Guigu are good at."

"Brother Li will definitely see the art of combining vertical and horizontal in the future."

Li Xuanqing nodded: "Okay, then I will wait and see."

Zi Nu said: "You have been dormant for more than two years, have you figured out how to enter the Korean court?"

Wei Zhuang turned and left, and said calmly: "Wait for one more person, if he is not worthy of his name, I will use my own way to join the Korean court."

Nongyu watched Wei Zhuang disappear, and asked in confusion, "Sister Zi Nu, do you know who Big Brother Wei Zhuang is waiting for?"

"I know." Li Xuanqing hurriedly replied, "Brother Wei Zhuang is waiting for a man."

When Nongyu heard this answer, her exquisite face was full of weirdness.

Zi Nu showed surprise and said: "You really guessed it?!"

Li Xuanqing twirled the folding fan with his right hand, opened it with a snap, the folding fan swayed, and his temples flew up. He smiled confidently and began to analyze: "If Wei Zhuang wants to enter the Korean court, the person who helps him break the situation must be related to the Korean royal family."

"Han Wang'an, a foolish king, over [-] years old, addicted to wine and sex, with Wei Zhuang's knowledge, it is natural to see that Han Wang'an is not worthy of his service."

"The crown prince of South Korea is simply a copy of Han Wangan. He is mediocre, cowardly, without talent, and without virtue, and he is not worthy of Wei Zhuang's support."

"Besides, Crown Prince Han is a puppet supported by Ji Wuye, how can Wei Zhuang interfere."

Zi Nu asked: "Then what about the fourth son, Han Yu?"

Li Xuanqing commented: "Han Yu is a man with strategy, talent, courage, and ambition. It's a pity that he is obsessed with power and tactics. In the future, he will be the second Han Zhaohou at most."

"Han Zhaohou regards Shen Buhui as the prime minister of the country, reforms the law without reform, and cultivates the arts without cultivating the country; although the centralization of power has been strengthened, the forces of all parties have been balanced, and internal affairs have been improved, they can only be strong for a while, not forever."

"Han Yu is a man who has skills in his heart but can't. When he ascends the throne in the future, he must be afraid of ministers with high achievements. He can share joys and sorrows, but not riches and honours. This is a dark king."

Zi Nu's eyes lit up and she said: "Your comments are very interesting, Mr. Yin Ke."

Li Xuanqing continued: "Besides, the other concubine sons of South Korea are also doing nothing, so it's not worth mentioning."

"Only the ninth son, Han Fei, is in the direct bloodline of the King of Han. He is a compatriot with Prince Han and the fourth son, Han Yu. A legal genius."

"Han Fei should be the one Brother Wei Zhuang is waiting for."

When Zi Nu heard this, her purple eyes became brighter and she praised with a smile: "I never imagined that although you have no intention of power and fame and fortune, you have a clear understanding of the general trend of the world and the Korean court, and you have a pair of discerning eyes to distinguish people."

Li Xuanqing smiled and said: "Haha, Miss Zi Nu is absurd."

"Okay, let's wait and see if the man Brother Wei Zhuang is waiting for is worth his help as a disciple of Guigu."

……

After seven days.

Zilan Pavilion, Lianheng Pavilion.

The top floor of the attic has a wide view, and you can see all directions of Xinzheng City, and you can have a panoramic view of people coming and going in various blocks.

Standing by the window, Wei Zhuang looked down sharply and saw an army escorting a beautiful girl. The girl was wearing a red dress, pure and innocent.

The young girl is pestering a young man. The young man looks helpless and handsome. He is dressed in a purple brocade robe, with a Confucian scarf on his head, and he is dressed as a student of an aristocratic family.

Li Xuanqing and Zi Nu stepped forward and looked down at the siblings who were fighting.

Zi Nu smiled and said, "Xiang Shuai might as well guess the identities of these two people."

Li Xuanqing rubbed his nose and said, "Do you still have to guess? The man who is busy in the world must be Han Fei who returned from school. As for the girl, it should be Princess Honglian, the jewel in the palm of Han Wangan."

Zi Nu laughed and joked: "Xiang Shuai is really good, he guessed it right."

Li Xuanqing smiled and said: "Brother Wei Zhuang, the man you are waiting for is here."

Wei Zhuang said calmly: "He has to prove that he is the person I want to wait for."

After the words fell, Wei Zhuang turned and walked down the attic.

On the attic, only Li Xuanqing and Zi Nu remained.

Li Xuanqing asked: "Miss Zi Nu, have you ever thought about transforming Zi Lan Xuan's industry?"

Zi Nu was taken aback, she was as intelligent as she was, and immediately understood the meaning, she muttered: "Let's leave the business that Zi Lanxuan has been doing for many years, and change to another business?"

Do you want to transform?How to transform?What are the pros and cons of transformation?

For Zinu and all the sisters of Zilanxuan, transformation is not just empty talk.
