Qin Shihuang actually sleeps powder

"Dare to ask Mr. Xu, what is the price of this Luoyang paper?"

An old man with gray temples asked loudly, and the people in the field also looked away, no longer staring at the Luoyang paper, but tightly pinched their fingers, and each face was contemplative, as if thinking about what to do in the auction later. What is the price, do you have enough money with you?

On the stage, Mr. Xu's face was like peaches and plums, he was full of smiles, but he uttered amazing words.

"You can get [-] pieces for one gold. There are ten auctions. There is no upper limit on the auction price. Today, the sale is limited to [-] pieces!"

Everyone turned pale in astonishment, one gold and one hundred tickets!

"You are stealing money!"

Even Liu Ji felt that the price was too expensive.

In the past month, Liu Ji has understood the current economic situation in this era. One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand cloth coins, and now one tael of gold is equivalent to five taels of silver!

For ordinary civilians, the usual staple foods are only barley, wheat, and soybeans, and only the nobles can eat meat.

Because nobles can organize people to hunt, raising livestock now is not as easy as later generations. Many families can't even eat enough for themselves, and there is no surplus food to feed livestock.

And because of improper breeding, it is also prone to plagues, so if you want to eat game, you have to go hunting in the mountains.

And at the bottom, if it is an ordinary family of five, it only eats two meals a day, and consumes about ten shi of grain every year, which is exactly one tael of silver!

Therefore, the price paid by Mr. Xu is equivalent to five years of chewing expenses for ordinary civilians.

Although there were many princes and nobles present, their money did not come from strong winds, not to mention that the real majority of the present were businessmen.

Merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, low-status, have to pay a heavy business tax every year, and not all of them are rich.

"We, Chu State, want all these thousand sheets of Luoyang paper!"

All the people present were surprised and looked towards the source of the sound.

It turned out to be the group of teenagers, the girl disguised as a man, standing at the front with a domineering manner. The words just now came from her mouth, and the teenagers around her also expressed approval.

At this time, a tall man slowly walked out of the box on Liu Ji's left side. The man said with a smile: "Everyone's family, Mr. Xu said that there will be ten auctions. Can you eat it in Chu State?" It's okay, it depends on whether you have enough money with you!"

A young man also came out from another box. He smiled at Mr. Xu, who was quietly standing on the stage watching the show, and made a salute, and then asked, "I wonder if this paper will still be sold tomorrow?"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after thinking about what Xu Gong said just now, but the number of purchases is limited today, and the Luoyang paper is obviously still available for sale.

But obviously, they relaxed too soon!

I only heard Xu Gonggong say in a slightly regretful tone: "I have sold the Luoyang paper making skills to the King of Qin, and you can go to the Qin State to buy it yourself."

As soon as the words fell, a young man stood up "squeaky".

Liu Ji noticed that this person had been sitting with a smug face before, he must be a prince of Qi State, he probably didn't expect Xu Gong, as a native of Qi State, to hand over such a good thing to Qin State!

Liu Ji didn't expect that this Duke Xu in the north of the city would be so generous, and it seemed likely that he was a fan of Qin Shihuang just like him.

Moreover, this Mr. Xu is so powerful that Liu Ji couldn't take it anymore. Going to the toilet in ancient times is too uncomfortable, but he doesn't know how to make paper at all. He only knows that the raw material for paper making is wood.

But in Zhongyang, there is not so much wood for him to waste in experiments, so he can only endure the unspeakable toilet to wipe his butt.

Now with this Luoyang paper, soft toilet paper is a daily necessities close at hand!

Liu Ji was full of joy and thought that he would finally bid farewell to the life of taking a shower every time he went to the toilet!

"Bold! Xu Xiang! As a citizen of Qi, how can you give Luoyang paper to Qin for nothing?!"

In everyone's mind, the "sell" that Mr. Xu said was no different from "send".

Young Master Qi not only questioned loudly, but also pulled out his sword and pointed it at Mr. Xu on the stage. The guards brought by Young Master Qi also drew their swords one after another, with extremely dissatisfied expressions on their faces.

"Xiang has met Young Master Jin, dare to ask what does this mean? Could it be that you want to kill me? Heck~ you have this ability?"

Xu Xiang also raised his eyebrows coldly, and his voice was a little provocative, and he was sure that the prince of Qi would not kill him.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Young Master Qi knows that in the eyes of his father, Xu Xiang is more like his own son than their own sons!

"Don't you think the father will let you mess around? How valuable this Luoyang paper is! What a wonderful use! Do you think the father will still favor you?"

The young master was obviously irritated, he spoke indiscriminately, yelled, without the bearing of a prince of a country, but Xu Xiang, on the other hand, was still calm and calm, as if he didn't care that young master Jin said that he would not favor King Qi.

Xu Xiang just stood quietly in the center of the stage without speaking, and the audience fell into silence.

At this time, the man who had previously hated Chu State stepped forward, bowed his hands and made a proposal: "Why don't you start the auction now? What do you think?"

The man said, looking around at the crowd, and then said: "Your Majesty Wei, please add one or two silver."

"What? Just add a tael of silver!"

"How can this be made! How can we afford it!"

The businessmen in the audience exclaimed, and could hardly sit still, discussing one after another.

The young master of the state of Wei went back to his original seat and sat down after his hypothesis, and asked the waiter to make tea for him.

Seeing this behavior, the others also returned to the box one after another, returning to the casual posture in the morning, but the slightly nervous expression showed that their hearts were not at peace.

And Qi Guogong Zijin was still standing in the corridor, staring viciously at the smiling Xu Xiang on the stage, and several waiters who persuaded him to go back to the box were also reprimanded by him.

Not only that, he also snorted coldly towards the box of Liu Ji and the three of them. Seeing his expression, Xiao He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly pulled Liu Ji and Cao Can back to the box.

When the three of them returned to the box, Xiao He's expression was very bad. Before Liu Ji could ask, he explained that they might cause trouble!

"How to say?"

"Look carefully. The people on the second floor are all princes and nobles. I only saw a few guards in the morning. I didn't recognize them. People came out of almost every box just now. The first box from the left is not as I expected. Poor, she is a noble daughter of the state of Chu, seeing how respectful the people around her are to her, she is likely to be the favorite granddaughter of the king of Chu, and it is said that because of her, the king of Chu chose her father as the heir apparent."

Xiao He drank his saliva and continued: "There is also the Duke of Qi, Jin. His mother family is very prominent. As expected, he is the next King of Qi."

"Then why is Xu Xiang not afraid of him at all?" Liu Ji interjected and asked.

"Because they are cousins, and the Xu family is still in charge of half of Qi's military power."

Xiao He's face was solemn, and he continued: "Then let's talk about the second box, which is the Wei Guogong who just spoke, and he is also the most likely candidate to inherit the throne."

"Hi~"

Liu Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath, this box of theirs doesn't belong to a certain son, does it?

Xiao He glanced at him, and continued: "The third box should be Young Master Zhao, but I can't confirm which Young Master it is, but seeing that his age is not more than 25, it is very likely that it is Young Master Jia and his two younger brothers, Young Master Bi and Young Master Xia. "

"I was only sure that the fourth box was a Korean son, but just now I saw a son who seemed to be stuttering, so I was sure there must be a Korean son Fei in it. I heard that this son was looked down upon because of his stuttering problem."

"The third box on the right should be the sheriff of Luoyang City. I saw several of those guards at the market in the north of the city yesterday."

"The second box belongs to Mr. Dan of Yan State. I heard a guard ask Mr. Dan in Yan State Mandarin if he needs to make tea."

"The first box belongs to Mr. Qin, who we are going to, but the people inside have never shown up, so we can't guess who it is."

Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat, could it be King Qin?

But he also thought that it has been the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, his male god should be a mature king, and it is probably impossible for Bailongyufu to come to such a dangerous place.

"Wait! You mean!"

Cao Shen covered Liu Ji's mouth and waited until Liu Ji calmed down before letting him go.

Cao Shen looked solemn, and asked Xiao He carefully: "Who is the person who sold you the ticket yesterday?"

Xiao He pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "It is the middle-aged man in the green clothes under the stage, he said that his surname is Li and his name is Cai, he is a merchant from Qin State, and he took me to buy this ticket.

At that time, he was very respectful to me, and he was very eloquent, especially when he bought the ticket, he was kind of flattering to me. He said that the ticket can not be bought by just anyone, but it has to be paid by acquaintances. Will sell, I was cheated!

It turned out that they used us as a shield!It's a shame that we don't even know who we are blocking for! "

The three of them contemplated the cause and effect of this incident, and the air froze for a moment.

Liu Ji said in a relaxed tone: "No matter what, we are probably already a thorn in the side of some people. Fortunately, we didn't take any treasures, otherwise there would be more people chasing and killing us."

"No, no," Xiao He shook his head, frowning, "It's not that simple!"

Seeing that Xiao He was still frowning, Liu Ji felt that this was not going to work. Smart people are prone to overthinking, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao He, don't do this, don't you think my little brother can't handle a few assassins? Xu Yingxiong, said that the sword is a pity!"

Xiao He couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that Liu Ji started talking nonsense to comfort him.

But this is indeed true, although Xiao He is not as good as Liu Ji and Cao Shen who are born to practice martial arts, but he also practiced martial arts non-stop, and he has made some achievements in the past 18 years.

Thinking of this, Xiao He regained his usual tranquility, as if that ugly person just now had never appeared before.

Seeing that Xiao He was in the state of winning again, Liu Ji took a sip of tea with peace of mind, and then said his thoughts: "I don't think it's better than this. We are stuck in time and go out of the city today. Luoyang's city walls are tall and thick. Some people can climb over, and the city gate is closed at Xushi, so can those people still control Luoyang's city gate?"

"You are making a bad move!"

Cao Shen was the first to disagree.

Liu Ji rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said to himself: I'm not planning for the worst. It's just a good time to try the level of these young master's guards and know whether my martial arts are first-rate or second-rate. What a bargain!

You must know that foreigners always say that Chinese people know kung fu. Now Liu Ji does know kung fu, but he has only fought against his own people, so he still has some doubts about his own kung fu.

But Liu Ji didn't dare to say it out, it's a shame!

Having nothing to say, Liu Ji didn't think about what to do for a while, but shifted his gaze to the princes of several countries who were bidding, only to see that prince of Qi, Jin, glared at him viciously.

Liu Ji:?I tricked you to mess with you!

In the blink of an eye, Liu Ji made a bold guess.

"Do you think that merchant named Li Cai is from Qin?"

After hearing these words, Xiao He stood up immediately, his eyes fixed on the box next door.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "That's right, it can be explained in this way. Qin Guo won the Luoyang paper, so naturally he didn't want to spread it, but Xu Xiang obviously wouldn't hide it for Qin Guo, so they asked us to act as a shield. In the city of Luoyang, those who want Luoyang paper will only hunt us down."

Xiao He said again: "It is estimated that people outside now think that we are the princes of Qin, and we still hold the Luoyang paper formula in our hands. We will fight with swords when the fair is over!"

Liu Ji was also speechless, the male god family really knew how to pick talents, but they picked three loyal people who were about to go to Qin to serve him.

This made Liu Ji feel a little strange, the male god has such a good vision!

Seeing that Liu Ji had a strange smile on his face, Xiao He really couldn't think of anything to be happy about in the current situation, so he knocked Liu Ji's forehead directly.

"What are you thinking again? You can still laugh!"

Liu Ji retorted: "Why don't you laugh? Chasing and killing is a trivial matter. Anyway, we are going to Qin, and now is a good opportunity to perform!"

Xiao He and Cao Shen looked at each other, but had no words to refute.
