Li Xinlan thought about it and said to Li Wan,"Once upon a time, there was a girl called Sadako. She was a female general. Her martial arts skills were very high and she was beautiful. Her sisters were jealous of her…"
" After that, the female general of Sadako would crawl out of the mirror every midnight…"
Night fell.
The surroundings were very quiet. Li Xinlan's deep voice could be heard from time to time.
Li Wan smacked her lips and said lightly,""Is this very scary? I don't think so."
Li Xinlan nodded and said to Li Wan,"Then can you show your head under the blanket? Isn't it stuffy inside?"
"No, I like to sleep with my head covered."
Li Xinlan was speechless.
Li Wan asked Li Xinlan with some resentment," Who is so wicked to tell such a scary story?"”
"Xiao…Xiao Bufan!" Li Xinlan blurted out.”
Li Wan seemed to be deep in thought. Then, she thought of something and asked Li Xinlan,"Isn't that the talented girl Fan Loushi?”
"Isn't she mute? How can I tell you a story?"
Therefore, to tell a lie, one had to use countless lies to make up for it.
"Oh, he wrote a book," Li Xinlan said.”
"Then show it to me tomorrow. I want to see it."”
"What? Aren't you afraid?" Li Xinlan asked worriedly.
Writing a book a day? How was this possible?
Li Xinlan panicked.
However, he had already lied just now. If he wanted to expose his lie, then Li Wan would ask, and the matter of Xiao Fan cross-dressing would also be revealed.
She had no choice but to brace herself and continue.
Li Wan's eyes lit up." I won't look at it. I'll show it to Cheng Chumo and the cowards." Alright, Xinlan, it's settled then. I'll come and get the books tomorrow.”
……
"So, this is the reason why you want me to write a book in half a day?”
Xiao Fan tilted his head and sat on a big rock by the river bank as he asked Li Xinlan casually.
Li Xinlan nodded and smiled like a flower."I know it's hard on you. I'll help you write it.”
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Li Xinlan." Do you think you're a printer? One afternoon... Eh? It's really possible that you'll come here in the evening.”
After saying that, Xiao Fan waved his hand and left alone.
"What? What did he mean? Can you do it or not? Do you need someone to help you…Ah, hey!”
Xiao Fan could no longer hear it.
Back at the mansion.
He saw his cheapskate father staring at him with a bright light in his eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Shimin rubbed his hands. Do you know that the imperial court has accepted your plan to favor the southwest? The Tuyuhun Kingdom has truly begun to stir.”
"Your words are enough to go down in history!”
"Boring!" Xiao Fan turned a blind eye to Li Shimin's boasting. He waved his hand and walked towards the backyard.
He instructed his servants to go to the market to buy some clay.
Li Shimin followed behind Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression."Why did you buy clay?"
Xiao Fan looked at Li Shimin and suddenly asked,"Dad, let me ask you."
"Don't worry." Li Shi Min nodded.”
"Tell me, what conditions do you need to marry the princess?”
Li Shi Min smiled." If it was someone else, marrying a princess would depend on the family background. The higher the family background, the higher the possibility of marrying a princess."”
"For example, Duke Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others. It is not difficult for their children to marry a princess.”
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Li Shimin.”
Friends born from nothing?
Li Shiming smiled at Xiao Fan and said indifferently,"It's impossible for your friend, but you…you can marry whichever princess you want.”
F * ck!
This mouth was indeed worthy of being a businessman.
If I didn't know that you like to brag, I would have believed you.
Li Shi Min suddenly became interested and said,"Kid, let me tell you. If you want to say that the quality of the royal princesses is good, it has to be Princess Chang Le and Princess Cheng Yang.”
"These two women are the direct daughters of the current emperor. Changle is very talented and Chengyang is lively and cheerful. The two royal daughters should be able to enter your eyes.”
Xiao Fan was speechless.
"I'm talking about my friend!" Xiao Fan had to emphasize.
"Oh, your friend…that's impossible. What contribution did your friend make to the court? But you're different. Look at the strategies you've mentioned. They've all been accepted by the imperial court as the standard. You're already a county boy at such a young age. Your future is promising.”
"In order to get close to a talent like you, wouldn't His Majesty casually pick a daughter of the royal family? How is it?"
Xiao Fan was speechless.
"How's your handwriting?"
What?
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Fan in shock and found that he could not keep up with his thoughts.”
Xiao Fan shook his head.”
Li Shiming's face twitched.
I'm bragging?
In your eyes, am I that bad?
Xiao Fan, just you wait. One day, I'll let you see if I'm bragging!
He said embarrassedly," Is that so? Oh, let's not talk about anything else. My handwriting is quite good."”
Xiao Fan said,"Alright, help me engrave some words on this mold. Remember to engrave them in reverse."”
"What?" Li Shi Min was confused.
Xiao Fan asked indifferently,"How are the books of the Great Tang printed now?"”
This cheapskate father had a deep understanding of history. He replied,"Ever since the Han Dynasty invented paper, the method of copying and rubbing stone tablets gradually spread.”
"Right now, the Great Tang can only use this technique to carve stone tablets, but when it comes to books…they are still hand-copied.”
Xiao Fan nodded and said,"That's right. Then what if I apply the rubbing and copying methods to paper?"”
Li Shi Min was deep in thought. He raised his eyebrows and then suddenly understood. He said excitedly,"You mean…to use this method to print books?”
He quickly fell into deep thought and shook his head."No, no, even if you carve words on the stone steles, they're all in the original form. If you print them on a book, they'll become inverted words.”
His father wasn't stupid, he saw through the crux of the matter at a glance.
Xiao Fan asked,"Have you heard of Yin-Yang studies?" On the smooth wooden board, he first pasted the newly dyed manuscript onto the wooden board. What was the situation with the wooden board now?”
Li Shimin reacted quickly and blurted out,"The words on the board are upside down."
Xiao Fan nodded and held the clay."Assuming this is the Yin side, then use a carving knife to carve the words upside down into the wooden board. What will the Yang side look like?"”
Li Shiming blurted out again and laughed,"Of course the reverse side is protruding…"
Soon, he could no longer smile…
Li Shi Min's expression froze, and his mind began to churn.
If the dark side was reversed, the bright side would definitely be reversed. Then, all the words on the manuscript would appear on the other side of the wooden board…
It was a little confusing. It was about the theory of Yin and Yang, about the pros and cons…It was very confusing.
However, Li Shimin had thought it through.
That was why Li Shi Min was so stunned that he sat there for a long time.
Even the teacup in his hand fell to the ground without responding.
A scene instantly swept through his mind.
All the words on the other side of the wooden board were straight. If this layer of words was stained with ink and printed…
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Fan in a daze. His mouth moved slightly, but he could not say a word for a long time.
Using the methods of copying and rubbing stone tablets from the Han Dynasty to print on paper…Heavens!
Why had no one in the Great Tang been able to come up with such a simple theory of Yin and Yang?
In this way, it would be easy to copy the exact same manuscript on a large scale…
Epoch-making! This was definitely an epoch-making invention!
Xiao Fan looked at his father's shocked expression and said indifferently again,"Do you think I'll use such a low-level thing?"”
