"This Chen Zhi's paper is really so good? I still want to ask our Tang family to help him sell paper?"

In the Tang family's little Tang Dynasty, Tang Taigong sat high above him and was amazed as he listened to Tang Zi's narrative.

In the room, including Tang Dian, Tang Yun and Tang Zi, there are two serious middle-aged men, both of whom are powerful figures of the Tang family. One of them is the elder brother and is the prefect in Jiangzuo.

As soon as they heard that Tang Zi and others had returned, they were summoned by Tang Taigong and listened to the narrative.

Taigong Tang asked this question.

Tang Zize responded very simply: "That paper is a great product in the world. My grandson suspected that it is the best in the world!"

His answer not only shocked Tang Taigong and others, but also Tang Dian and Tang Yun who followed Tang Zi, looked over with surprise.

The reason is also very simple. Judging from Tang Zi's previous performance, although he praised the paper, he always acted only as if this paper was just one of the good papers, but now he has suddenly raised it to a level that is the best in the world!

In today's world, bamboo slips have declined, and papermaking has begun to show its strengths. Several major papermaking places are famous everywhere, and the paper produced has its own colors. Although they are all called the best, people think that they have their own advantages.

The one who is most familiar with in the Tang family is probably Tang Zi.

Tang Capital was born in a vassal family and rose up with a business that was looked down upon by merchants. During his rise, he had traveled all over the country and experienced countless products, including paper.

Therefore, among the people present, the one who is most qualified to judge the paper is easy to return, that is, Tang Zi.

"Is this paper so good?" Tang Taigong's expression changed slightly. He noticed Tang Dian, Tang Yun's expression, and guessed a few points. "But you probably didn't make this judgment before. Could it be to fool me, the old man."

"Suncle doesn't dare." Tang Zi shook his head, but he was not panicked, and said with a calm smile: "What the grandson thought before was to take the opportunity to get this paper formula from the prefect. The benefits are too great. If you can get the prefect, the benefits will be endless, and it is even more important than getting the favor of Prefect Chen!"

Tang Dian couldn't help asking: "That's why you risked the possibility of angering the prefect at that time and insisted on giving the conditions?"

Tang Zi nodded and said, "Yes, in that situation, I could only try to negotiate with the prefect. If he could agree, my Tang family would get a treasure from now on, and there would be no capital and no profit!"

"Is it really so powerful? What about that paper?" Mr. Tang couldn't help but become curious.

Tang Zi pondered for a moment, and then said, "It is a thing that is beautiful and precious. It is a good thing to be honest and clean, and it is a true nature. It contains the rules and regulations, and it is really a kind of politeness. It takes advantage of the other's shortcomings and thinks it is new to yourself. It is comfortable to take it, and it is loose when it is abandoned. It is flexible and stretchable, and can be revealed."

"This is the "Paper Fu" by the Left Secretary of the Shangshu Fu Xian, but what is said in it is actually a compliment to paper, which is suitable for everyone." Tang Taigong seemed to disagree with this description.

Tang Zi smiled and said, "Grandfather, Fu Shang said back then to promote the fashion of writing on paper, so there are inevitably exaggerations and inaccuracies in this poem. For example, many papermaking in the Central Plains and Jiangnan look white, but when they are closer, they can see a lot of yellow spots. However, Chen Taishou's paper is not like this. Although I am not close, I can see through the lights. Not only are there no yellow spots, but there are not even many sections..."

Seeing everyone's confusion, he explained: "This often happens in papermaking because there seem to be countless small ropes interspersed in this paper, just like weaving bamboo baskets. If it is not handled well, there will be knots. It looks like there is a lump on the paper. The better the paper, the fewer the knots, but so far, I haven't seen any paper, and this kind of knots has not happened."

Due to the conditions, Tang Zi certainly couldn't say anything like fiber, but after his analogy, others also understood it, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh that he had worked hard from below and even understood these things.

Tang Taigong asked again: "Isn't the paper Chen Zhi has knotted?"

Tang Zi shook his head and said, "This is not enough. However, the lights can penetrate the paper, so you can see how many knots are tied. Most of them can see black spots densely as rain, while the few are scattered everywhere. The paper Chen Taishou's paper was not very clear because the words were written on it, but there were very few black spots. And my grandson didn't think that there were people in this world who really made perfect paper."

Taigong Tang nodded, praised Tang Zi for his steady words, and then changed the subject: "So, our Tang family has to find a way to get this paper?"

Tang Dianze said: "If you can get the best, but now you have agreed to cooperate with the prefect, then the future will be long, so there is no need to rush for a moment. I believe that in a short period of time, the prefect will not be able to open up the situation. Some people rely on our opportunities and can make requests with him little by little."

Mr. Tang nodded and smiled, "That's right, this is a very honest and stern statement. So, we can try to get close to this new prefect in the future. With this paper sale as a common thing, we must be much closer. However, I have never seen this Zhang with my own eyes, and I feel a little itchy. At that time, the old man of the Zhu family understood that after getting along, I don't know what the old man thought now."

Zhu Taigong, who was thinking about by this old lady, was holding a picture of the characters, laughing and praising Zhu Xian, Zhu Wan and others.

"Good, it's done well. The word Chen Taishou is indeed well-known. Look at this word, it's really amazing! The best among the top grades!"

The old man couldn't let go of it, and Zhu Xian, Zhu Wan, and Zhu Liu, the current Zhu family, looked at each other, and in the end, Zhu Liu gave a wink.

Zhu Xian suddenly realized his heart, so he took a step forward and asked: "Father, what do you think you should do now? The prefect seemed to have warned this time, but it seemed that he had said nothing. Did he surrender to General Wang, or did he deliberately say ambiguously, let us figure it out for ourselves?"

"Why, you went there yourself and saw the prefect with your own eyes. When you heard him speak, you didn't notice anything? What do you think the prefect means?" Zhu Taigong put away his smile, but held the letter tightly in his hand. Seeing Zhu Xian's face showing shame, he slowly shook his head and turned to look at Zhu Liu, "Ming Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhu Liu pondered for a moment before saying, "In my opinion, the prefect may want to express his unintentional struggle."

"Oh?" Zhu Taigong's eyes lit up, "Tell me in detail."

Zhu Liu nodded and said, "As we all know, Chen Taishou has a very small background. Not to mention Taipu Gong, it is not a small family in Huayin. He came to Dai County and heard that it was related to the Zhang family. The Yang family and the Zhang family are not something that we can measure in local tribes, but Chen Taishou is related to it, which shows the future. Therefore, he will not stay here for long. He must have wanted to get some political achievements safely and then be promoted."

"Yes, yes, that's the reason."

Everyone agreed and thought this was very reasonable.

This is also in line with the logic of normal people.

"So, in the face of General Wang Quan's provocation, Prefect Chen may want to ease the conflict, not seeking merit but seeking no mistakes. Therefore, he will focus on running a paper shop. You have seen it. How amazing the quality of this paper is, it is no wonder that the prefect will be moved."

"No, not bad," Zhu Taigong couldn't help but nodded and looked at the scroll in his hand. "I feel very comfortable holding this paper. If you have the chance, you have to ask for something more. As for the meaning of the prefect, I don't need to investigate it in depth. Just wait and see, the contact person on the prefect, General Wang should not break. We should not offend the two. We also seek stability."

Zhu Xian agreed and said with the trend: "I'm afraid that the prefect will not send it out easily by then. This paper is matched with this word, and it can be passed on to the world and will be sought after by people. I won't care about my Zhu family's needs." The implication is that neither side looks down on the power of the Zhu family.

"No need to worry, no need to worry," Mrs. Zhu laughed, "because the one that really should be worried is not our Zhu family."

"Oh?" When I heard this, I was confused.

However, Zhu Wan's eyes lit up and asked tentatively: "What my grandfather said is the Wang family? The Wang family also has a paper shop in the city. If the prefect is so good at paper, the Wang family will be the first to be affected. Perhaps the business of the paper shop will plummet?"

Zhu Taigong smiled but said nothing, while others thought.

Zhu Liu said, "If so, can we talk to the prefect and see if we can get the paper square in our hands?"

Zhu Xian's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but nodded, and then frowned: "It's just that the prefect stayed the Tang family and the others. I don't know what the purpose is. Could it be related to this paper shop? Or should I win over the Tang family and suppress others?"

At this moment, in the Wang family mansion, the respected old lady Wang sat upright, and two nephews were sitting next to him.

But his nephew, in terms of seniority, is about the same as the grandfather of other families, so he is over 60 years old and looks very old.

Next to the two old men were many Wang family members sitting in turn, while Wang Huo, the contemporary head of the Wang family, sat in the upper position on the left, listening to Wang Dian's story.

"...The paper is white and transparent. Just looking at it, you can tell that it is a top-notch, far from comparable to my Wang family paper shop. If it spreads, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. It's hard to say elsewhere, but in Dai County, I'm afraid that if I want to talk about my Wang family paper, I'll squeeze it out."

Wang Dian's words revealed a sense of worry, but then the topic changed: "However, my Wang family has a deep foundation, a lot of industries, and a lot of land. If the paper shop is not good, it will only hurt a little, so that it will not hurt the muscles. On the contrary, the prefect's attitude today made me a little confused. He seemed to have not complained about the affairs of Wang Quan, but he did not say it clearly, which made people uneasy. In addition, the Tang family stayed and the Murong Xianbei people were involved, the situation was really unpredictable."

What he mainly said was the matter at the dinner, which was Chen Zhi's attitude. This attitude made him unable to figure it out, and he mentioned the blank paper instead.

"According to your words, this dinner is really interesting." Before Wang Huo could speak, the old lady and ancestors of the Wang family laughed, "This prefect, this is the prefect who summoned you to come here today. I am afraid that it is a virtual military strategist, which makes each family suspicious and difficult to make up its mind."

As soon as he opened his mouth, whether it was Wang Huo or Wang Dian, the rest of the Wang family stopped talking and looked respectfully listening.

Old Lady Wang was not surprised at all, and said to herself: "Let's not talk about the prefect's attitude. There is no conclusion. Since he doesn't make it clear, there will be no result. He is probably throwing a stone to ask for directions. But what interested me is the other things you mentioned, such as the delicious food. If it is really as you said, I will be a little greedy. Unfortunately, I can't swallow it for a long time. I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that can make people of this age still eat happily."

As he spoke, he showed regret, but made the others look at each other.

This is a very good thing, talking about serious matters, why did the old lady say the food as soon as she opened her mouth? Isn’t she really confused?

They only dared to think about this in their hearts and dared not say it out loud.

But Mr. Wang saw the clues and smiled and said, "I'm not confused. Wang Dian, tell me, how good is that paper? It's really much better than my Wang family's paper?"

Wang Dian hurried forward, but did not say the paper, but said, "If it weren't for what I saw with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there was such good paper! Not to mention my Wang family paper, even if I were compared to Jiangnan paper, I wouldn't be too embarrassed!"

This statement made everyone feel uproar.

Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have a saying about what happened today, maybe I can sell it to Mr. Chen to get some benefits, like that paper. If you can get it, it will be a good thing."
