Chapter 297: The Zodiac Origami
Ran Zhan heard some of the smell of about to take action from Chen Zhi's words, and immediately nodded and then left.
After Ran Zhan left, Chen Zhi pondered for a moment, focused his attention on the signboard first, noticed the famous gold liquid that had been filled with four grids, and thought for a moment.
"When I used to teach the teacher, the copper plate also accumulated halos. If I had drawn lots now, I would have obtained what I needed at the time, but the problem is that the main threat I faced at the moment actually came from the wars on the frontier. What I drew lots out is likely to be against the war in the northern border, and it may have little to do with the matter of the paper shop, so I could not place all my hopes on this, so I had already sent people to monitor the inside and outside the paper shop."
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi looked at his hand again.
On his desk, there was a stack of white paper, which were all produced by Chen's Paper Floor recently. Compared with the previous paper, the quality was slightly better.
However, the white paper produced over the past few days has been squeezed into the paper shop and occupied a large area. The key reason is that it has no sales.
The Tang family is trying to find channels, but the Tang family's convoy has not returned yet, and their relationship network in the heart of the Central Plains has not been cleared yet, so it is not possible to transport white paper for the time being.
As a result, rumors gradually emerged in the city that Chen Zhi's attempt failed and the white paper squeezed like a mountain.
Even the craftsmen in the paper workshop are also moved by people. When someone comes to see someone who is interested comes to spy on it, it will inevitably be shaken.
Chen Zhi had a plan for this, and as long as he took action, he could catch these leakers as soon as possible, and at the same time follow the clues to find the family behind him.
The reason why I am still waiting is that on the one hand, I hope to catch a few more big fish, and on the other hand, I wait for the result of the lottery. If the lottery is exactly related to this, I can not be exposed first and follow the trend, and maybe I can get more useful results.
"The news about paper shops in the city can be said to be endless. From many details, it can be seen that someone is pushing behind the scenes and the methods are quite exquisite. It should not be done by ordinary families. Perhaps there are people from the General's Mansion running around. They must have colluded with some families in the city. The Zheng family has become much more honest recently, but the more they are, the more they plan. After all, Zheng Shi's commander has been removed by me. The Zheng family's power in the Dai County officialdom has been reduced so much. If they want to maintain their influence, they must take action. It is abnormal that they are not moving, and they have the meaning of waiting for something."
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but shake his head: "The current construction of intelligence is still not enough. Even the Dai County is invisible, let alone a hundred miles away or a thousand miles away. I almost looked at the current situation in the grassland, and I could only prepare and make arrangements based on experience."
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi suddenly felt aroused.
Then, he focused his attention on the lottery ticket in his heart and called out the word "draw lots" without hesitation.
In the next breath, on the five elements scale grid of the sign, the famous gold liquid fell instantly, and a bamboo stick appeared in his hand.
Chen Zhi looked down and noticed the word "未" in seal script, and was stunned.
"Mo family sign? It's actually Mo family sign again. I've been destined to have a Mo family sign before. Later, I met two Mo people and asked them to write a letter to their uncle. I don't know if the letter has been delivered. Now I've drawn lots again and got another Mo family sign."
After getting the bamboo stick, Chen Zhi did not rush to explain the sign, but called the servant, and after giving it a lecture, he sat down again, inspected the sign, and noticed that the five elements scale grid that had just been cleared was increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This range is really good. It seems that Luoyang has already achieved results, and it's good that it saves some of my worries."
With this understanding, Chen Zhi calmly took the bamboo stick in front of him and gently spit out the word "understanding" sign. Then the bamboo stick dissipated and replaced it with twelve strange matters.
These twelve affairs are all white, but they are of different shapes, light and petite. They are small animals stacked with white paper. Looking at the outlines, you can see different shapes of mice, oxen, long snakes, etc.
At the same time, a message came into Chen Zhi's heart.
"The twelve zodiac signs origami, what you see is what you get. When you see paper, it is like people see it. If you use paper to tell what is happening, you can tell what is happening with external affairs."
A simple sentence made Chen Zhi narrow his eyes. He pondered for a moment, let out a long breath, and understood.
"It's indeed what I need now. Although this kind of object is not durable and has many restrictions. It can't be taken out when it's cloudy and rainy, but its effect is really amazing. Listening to the meaning of this introduction, it means that I have twelve pairs of eyes out of thin air, and I have left my body's eyes. I can explore external things through these origamis. This is much more cost-effective than training spies and is more hidden!"
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi picked up the first origami, the paper mouse, and gently flicked it. The mouse suddenly shook all over, and then the cow's head turned and his tail turned to life.
Chen Zhi relaxed his hand, and the mouse landed on the ground, then ran flexibly and agilely outside the house!
Although it was stacked on paper, the mouse was like a real thing. As soon as he left the door, he turned several times and came to the corner of the wall. Then he climbed up the wall and ran on the top of the wall, and disappeared from the end of his sight in a blink of an eye.
Soon, night fell.
In the Chen paper workshop, the craftsmen who had been busy all day also relaxed.
As the person in charge and foreman, Li Li relaxed with a craftsmen who left the workshop and talked and kept encouraging them.
Especially a pretty thin young man, he received even more praise from Li Li.
"Xiaoquan, you did a good job today. I will tell you something to the supervisor and ask him to tell the head of the family to get you a reward."
When the thin young Xiaoquan heard this, he nodded and bowed with a smile, and kept thanking him. After being praised for a few more words, he said goodbye to Li Li and walked to the place where he slept.
Chen's workshop is now quite large. Because of the transportation and storage of materials, Chen Zhi bought several houses around him, and also used them as a place for these craftsmen to sleep.
In order to create an atmosphere of confidentiality for paper parties, Chen Zhi was quite strict in managing the craftsmen and made a family background that reduced their contact with the outside world. Of course, as compensation, the rewards received by these craftsmen were quite considerable.
Xiaoquan returned to the bed, but did not rest. Instead, he looked around and realized that no one was paying attention to him. He carefully came to a corner of the yard, took out a mud ball from his arms, threw it out of the wall, and then quickly went back.
Not long after, someone came outside the wall. After fumbled for a while, he picked up the mud ball, and after taking it open, he found a note with crooked words written on it.
The man grinned.
He didn't notice that a tiny figure was shaking slightly on the wall.
