Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Su Quan returned to Zhuangzi from the palace and happened to bump into Fang Xuanling.

Seeing each of them holding a packet of paper, he asked: "Why is the prime minister so interested in coming to my store to buy paper?"

Fang Xuanling asked doubtfully: "Your Zhuangzi? Isn't this the Zhuangzi of E Guogong?"

Quan hurriedly handed over his hands: "I am in charge of all the workshops, greenhouses, and shops in Zhuangzi. I am Yuchi Baoqi's cousin, and I am Su Quan."

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling became serious: "It turns out he is that boy's cousin. I have heard about it. I was the one who drafted the edict to be granted the title of Male of Lantian County."

Su Quan hurriedly said that he didn't dare to take it seriously, and then asked: "Well, what if the paper sent to Zhongshu Provincial Yamen is not enough? Why do you come here to buy paper again? Brother Dashan should have sent you a lot of paper, two Damn it, I remember the library I signed."

Fang Xuanling and other officials' eyes widened at this time: "Two tons? When did it happen? Why didn't we receive it?"

Yuchishan's voice was heard in the distance.

"Brother Su, please don't send me to deliver paper to the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen again. The paper is so heavy. They don't have a single person in Zhongshu Province, and they don't even have anyone to help unload the goods. There are only ten people and me. My brother unloaded it directly for him. I was almost exhausted from the two fucking tons of cargo. They all stood up at the door of the yamen, and they didn’t have any certificates. You see what happened.”

Fang Xuanling gritted his teeth and said: "This, uh, this good man, we are officials of the Zhongshu Province. It's our fault. We have something to do. We should leave someone to guard the Yamen." He gave up. Yi Yi.

Seeing that he had apologized, Yuchishan waved his hands, but he saw that they were all holding papers in their hands. Yuchishan was no longer calm: "Don't tell me, you just come to buy paper when you have something to do!"

Seeing Fang Xuanling's apologetic eyes, Yuchishan exploded.

"It's from his grandma! We gave you two tons and you didn't accept it. Why did you go out and buy it yourself just to buy this little paper? I unloaded the goods like a grandson, and ten people were numb after unloading two tons of paper. You buy it here Paper, just buy this little bit?"

As he was about to rush forward, Su Quan quickly grabbed Yuchishan with his eyes and hands. Yuchishan, who was tightly hugged by Su Quan, muttered words, mostly such as "I wish your family happiness and good health, and prosperity every year. Say hello to your family for me." !" Such words.

Fang Xuanling and other officials quickly ran away. Seeing the shoes flying out from the foot of Yuchi Mountain, Fang Xuanling did not dare to stay for a moment longer.

Everyone returned to the Zhongshu Province Yamen and saw that the entrance to the Yamen was tightly blocked. Needless to say, they must have been extremely resentful when they were unloading the goods.

Their group of literati were not as strong as the group of retired soldiers, so they could only move into the Yamen's warehouse bit by bit.

Seeing that the move was finally completed, Fang Xuanling cleared her throat, "From now on, if you want to use white paper, it must be signed by me and Prime Minister Du! You are not allowed to open the warehouse to get paper without permission. If someone steals the white paper without permission, don't blame me for being cruel. Today We went to Zhuangzi to buy it, and it counts as a reward from me, the superior officer!"

Everyone shouted yes and went back happily holding the paper in their arms.

After returning home, all the officials held candles and read at night, looking at the White Paper on Food and Clothing in the Tang Dynasty. They knew that His Majesty the Emperor gave them three days of rest just to let them take a good look at the policies in the white paper and study them more carefully.

But during the day, the official who was rubbed with paper was a little distracted. There was a book on the table, but he was savoring the softness of the paper, which seemed to have a little fragrance.

He quickly shook his head, trying to get the idea of ​​wiping his butt with paper out of his mind, "I am a scholar! Paper is a tool for learning and practicing calligraphy, how could it be so abused. No, no. But it is really soft and good. I want to try it out."

There was something on my mind, and I felt bored looking at the white paper on the table, so I turned off the oil lamp and lay on the bed.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning I will go to Zhuangzi to buy toilet paper. I want to see what kind of magic it has. I am not blaspheming the paper. I am seeking truth! Yes, I am seeking truth."

The next day he didn't even eat breakfast and hurried from home to Zhuangzi.

I touched the door of the shop based on my memory, and saw that my colleagues who came with me yesterday were all waiting here anxiously.

Fang Xuanling patted him on the shoulder, and he was frightened. "Fang, Fang Xiang, why are you here?"

Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly: "Why don't you come here to buy something? I want to buy more paper. What about you, are you here to buy paper too?"

Before he finished speaking, the waiter opened the door. Seeing the crowd he had seen yesterday, he asked, "Are you here to buy paper again?"

As one official passed by and whispered the goods he wanted, the waiter registered them in a small book.

Zhang Ergou memorized what everyone wanted and shouted: "Everyone, each of you wants ten baskets of toilet paper, a total of six hundred baskets. Buy ten baskets and get one basket for free. If you buy six hundred baskets separately, only I’ll give you sixty bags. If you buy them together, you can get another sixty bags for a total of 720 bags. What should I say? Why don’t you discuss it?”

Everyone looked embarrassed, thinking in their hearts, didn’t you come here to buy paper? It’s either paper or pencils, or bricks and mortar, why are you buying toilet paper now?

It was Fang Xuanling who withstood the pressure: "Let's do the math together. How much is the total? We'll give it to you."

Zhang Ergou looked at the book in his hand and said, "Ten mentions only costs twenty cents. Are there any soldiers, veterans, or low-income households among you? I guess you are not from Zhuangzi, and you won't be. Then A total of two hundred coins, twenty cents per person, give it to me when you have collected it."

Everyone handed the money to the prime minister, and the prime minister slapped the money into Zhang Ergou's hand: "Send it to Zhongshu Provincial Yamen. We are leaving now. Can we let the people in the house come to buy it?"

Zhang Ergou ordered all the copper coins and said, "Nothing wrong. You can buy it now when you come, or you can make a reservation. I can send it to you at a fixed time every month. Okay, the people from the Ministry of Urban Construction will be here soon, so don't block the way." "

Fang Xuanling looked at the empty place where more than [-] people were standing on his side, and asked: "Blocking the road? This place is so wide? How could we block the road?"

Zhang Ergou was too lazy to talk to him and gave him a roll of his eyes: "You can stay as long as you like. Those guys from the Ministry of Urban Construction don't care about you. Don't say I didn't remind you when the time comes. Look over there and see No, they are coming."

Seeing 400 people, each driving a huge cart pulled by two oxen, lining up towards him, Fang Xuanling opened his eyes again!

"Quick, quick, make way for them." Fang Xuanling pushed a group of officials to leave the venue quickly, her voice trembling. The leader of the group was the scarred face from yesterday.

Yuchishan came to Zhang Ergou: "Today the main dam requires forty tons of cement powder. Here is the proof. Ergouzi, hurry up. We will have lunch after finishing it."

Zhang Ergou was also unambiguous. After taking the voucher and confirming its authenticity, he immediately went inside to greet people.
