"If you are willing, it is not impossible.”
Lin Xuan took the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique back from Li Ji and smiled faintly.
The slender Li Ji glared at Lin Xuan angrily when she heard this.
The movements illustrated in the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique were all very strange, and there was a text explanation below each picture.
"Sir, where did you get this evil book?”
"Don't tell me you brought it back from the Western Regions?”
Gongsun Liji's face was flushed red and as beautiful as the morning glow. Her bright autumn eyes were secretly glancing at Lin Xuan.
As soon as she finished speaking, she shyly covered her eyes with her hands.
This was because Lin Xuan suddenly opened another page of the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique. The picture on this page was even more exaggerated than the previous one!
"This book is the ancestor of medicine and has nothing to do with the Western Regions.”
"Besides, if you think that the movements in the book are all for magic, then you are very wrong.”
Lin Xuan closed the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique and raised his voice.
"This book is the ancestor of medicine?"
"And those movements weren't used to suppress magic?”
Gongsun Liji furrowed her brows and looked confused.
She really couldn't guess what else those actions could be used for other than magic manipulation.
"You don't believe me?"
"If you don't believe me, come in with me."
"Seeing that your performance these few days has been pretty good, I'll make an exception today and teach you the Dao of Yin and Yang for free!”
Lin Xuan brought Gongsun Liji into his room and closed the wooden door washi window.
The Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique was something that countless people had dreamed of for a long time. Gongsun Liji actually thought that this book was just a magic guide?
Today, Lin Xuan would let Gongsun Liji know if this book was undeserved!
……
Five days later.
Qin Country's capital, Xianyang Palace.
When the sky was hazy and bright, Zhao Gao brought the first batch of papyrus paper that he had made according to Lin Xuan's instructions and ran outside the palace to meet Ying Zheng.
"Zhongche Manor's Magistrate Zhao Gao requests an audience?"
"You said there was a joyous occasion?"
"And he's holding a few piles of skin that's as thin as cicada wings?”
In the study, after Ying Zheng learned of Zhao Gao's intention, he immediately asked the guards to bring him in.
After Fan Yuqi, Cheng Jiao was killed, and the Empress Dowager was imprisoned, the Palace of Huayang scattered like monkeys after the tree fell. Recently, many courtiers had submitted memorials to accuse the Palace of Huayang of their various crimes.
Therefore, Ying Zheng had been extremely busy in the past few days. Every day, he had to go through the memorials until late at night.
Last night, she even fell asleep in the study room!
"Your Majesty, it's done!"
"Shopkeeper Lin didn't lie to you!"
"Although this batch of papyrus is not as good as the one we looted in the tavern last time, it can still beat up bamboo slips and animal skins.”
"Most importantly, if we follow Shopkeeper Lin's method of making paper, we can really mass produce papyrus. With an unlimited amount of papyrus, it will be just a matter of time before Great Qin conquers the world!”
Zhao Gao handed the paper to Ying Zheng with both hands and said emotionally.
As a civil official, he knew the importance of papyrus to the people and to a country!
"Alright."
"From today onwards, we will start producing paper in large quantities. We will strive to replace bamboo slips with straw paper within half a year.”
"The success of this matter is all thanks to Shopkeeper Lin. After the papyrus is sold, send 60% of the monthly income to Shopkeeper Lin's wine shop.”
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction and said with great pride.
Zhao Gao, who was wearing a black official robe, hesitated.
After mass producing the papyrus, it would be sold to all of Great Qin's residents, and the profits would be astronomical.
If he gave 60% of the profits to Lin Xuan, he would probably become the richest man in Great Qin in less than half a year!
"I promised Shopkeeper Lin, how can I go back on my word?”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Zhao Gao nodded.
He was envious of Lin Xuan, but so what?
Who asked Lin Xuan to not only create toilet paper but also obtain the promise of the current Qin King?
Lin Xuan was now the most popular person in front of Ying Zheng, and Zhao Gao was a man with good eyes. Therefore, he knew very well that he could not offend Lin Xuan at this time and become his enemy!
"This humble servant is preparing to bring people to Yan City tonight. Please approve.”
Seeing Ying Zheng praising the first batch of papyrus, Zhao Gao immediately asked for his permission.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation.
"This is no small matter. You must not expose your identity.”
"Only I, you, and Shopkeeper Lin know about this.”
"You must not leave any evidence behind and let a fourth person know about this. Otherwise, bring your head to me!”
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly.
Zhao Gao swallowed his saliva with a terrified expression, and hurriedly agreed to Ying Zheng's request.
"I will not fail you!"
Zhao Gao cupped his fists and left the study.
He had sensed a dangerous aura in the study just now.
If Ying Zheng wanted to kill someone, he didn't even need to do it himself. With just a glance, he could kill Zhao Gao and his entire family!
After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng leaned on the desk and wrote the words 'This prosperous era will be as you wish' on the papyrus with a brush.
This was what Lin Xuan told him half a month ago in the wine shop.
Until now, this sentence was still lingering in Ying Zheng's mind.
Looking at the paper, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
"I look forward to the day when Great Qin's officials will be able to use this papyrus when they submit memorials.”
"I look forward to the day when every household in the Great Qin will have a copy of the laws of Qin made of papyrus on their windowsill.”
"I look forward to the day when Shopkeeper Lin can leave the tavern and enter the royal court. Together with me, we can create the dream of a country for thousands of years!”
……
Seven days later.
Xianyang, Qin country, in the tavern in the west of the city.
After lunch, Lin Xuan, who was dressed in white, was not in a hurry to go upstairs with Gongsun Liji. Instead, they were discussing a classic move in the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique in the kitchen.
The two of them talked and laughed, looking very happy.
However, just as Lin Xuan proposed to spar tonight, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
The voice was getting closer and closer. It was obviously coming for the tavern.
"You go upstairs first."
"Without my permission, no matter what happens here, don't come down.”
After Lin Xuan sensed that something was wrong, he immediately pushed Li Ji to the second floor.
Instinct told Lin Xuan that the person's strength was not bad, and there was a high chance that he was here to find trouble!
In the past month, other than Old Zhao and Young Master Shang, there had been no other customers. Today was the first new customer.
"Sir, please be careful."
Gongsun Liji nodded sensibly, then obediently hid on the second floor.
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open a crack.
Following the voice, Lin Xuan saw a pair of eyes filled with hatred.
