Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 9: The advent of papermaking, a blessing from heaven

Wen Zhong asked hurriedly: "What is the specific method of papermaking?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I will teach you the method of papermaking right away."

After saying that, he pointed his finger at Wen Zhong's brow and transmitted the method to Wen Zhong's soul.

After receiving the papermaking method, Wen Zhong closed his eyes and examined it carefully. The more he looked, the more unbelievable it became.

When he opened his eyes again, the excitement in his eyes was beyond words.

"Brother, once this technique is released, the human race will no longer need to use oracle bone script or bronze inscriptions to record text. The raw material for this kind of paper is cheap and easy to find, which greatly reduces the cost of papermaking and is very suitable for large-scale and wide-ranging production."

Luo Shu saw Wen Zhong, who was as excited as a fool, and thought:

"This is the feeling of standing on the shoulders of giants. The fruits accumulated by dozens of generations can be plucked with just a stretch of the hand. If it were you, would you not be excited? No wonder!"

"Junior brother, remember not to teach this method to others easily. It must be mastered by Shang Chao."

You want to know why? It’s a monopoly industry. Anyone who knows will understand.

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong nodded repeatedly. He knew the importance of papermaking. With this method, the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty would be greatly improved.

It will take at least a hundred years, which will bring many benefits to me. It will not only promote my cultivation, but also increase my luck.

"Don't worry, brother. I will inform the king when I go to court tomorrow and arrange for people to produce paper as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute, Junior Brother. Just look at the bottom first and make a piece of paper according to the method you said. Then, take this piece of paper and go to see the King of Shang."

After hearing Luo Shu's words, Wen Zhong was puzzled and asked:

"Why is that? Wouldn't it be the same if we just told the king and then did it?"

"Brother, have you ever heard the saying that seeing is believing and hearing is not? Just do as I say."

Wen Zhong didn't hesitate. He understood Luo Shu's meaning and wanted to arrange it directly.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. There's no rush to arrange this matter tomorrow. It's getting late now, and we can't ask them to work overnight!"

Luo Shu knows the hardships of those who work overtime, so if he can let them work one night less, it will be better.

"Well, I'll listen to you, Senior Brother. How long do you plan to stay in Chaoge?"

"Let's wait for a while. I'll stay here with you first."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong called the servant to arrange a place for Luo Shu to stay. The guest room is where guests stay. Is his eldest brother an outsider? Naturally, he should live in a better room.

Whoever has the best room must live in it, and give his room to his senior brother so that he can have a good rest.

When Luo Shu heard Wen Zhong's words about arranging a servant, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Junior brother, why can't you let me live in your room? People who practice Taoism don't care about these things. As long as there is a place for me to meditate, it will be fine. I think the guest room where I rested before is not bad."

"I will rest in the guest room these days. Please inform me when the paper is ready."

After Luo Shu finished speaking, he walked back the way he came.

Wen Zhong said nothing more upon seeing this, and asked the servant to take Luo Shu to rest, as he still needed to go to the study to arrange matters for tomorrow.

……

Luo Shu returned to the guest room, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to practice.

On the other side, Wen Zhong also went to the study, sat on a chair, and thought for a while.

Immediately, Wen Zhong called his guards to arrange the raw materials and other necessary items for papermaking.

As the orders were passed down one after another, Wen Zhong felt relieved.

As for the result, it depends on the production in the next few days.

……

As soon as the sun rose, Wen Zhong went out to attend court.

Luo Shu meditated all night and thought about going out for a walk. He didn’t get to experience the customs and culture of Chaoge City yesterday.

The spiritual energy circulated and disappeared on the spot.

When Luo Shu appeared again, he was already at an empty street corner.

Walking onto the street and looking at the bustling crowd, Luo Shu felt an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.

After all, they are people who have lived in the afterlife and still like to hang out among the crowd.

As we walked and looked around, we found a pub and sat down for a while. Why a pub? Because there was no teahouse at that time.

While Luo Shu was strolling around, Wen Zhong came home from court and went to arrange for people to make paper.

Because the papermaking technology provided by Luoshu was very complete, Wen Zhong only needed to follow the production steps.

As for how Luo Shu knew about papermaking, don't ask me. I just looked it up online when I was bored.

……

Luo Shu stayed in the tavern for a while, and then continued to wander around. When he saw something delicious or fun, he would exchange it for something.

We are still in the Shang Dynasty, an era of barter, and there is no currency.

It’s quite troublesome to have no money. To barter something, the other party must also need it from you. Otherwise, it will just be left alone.

"Under the rule of the current Shang king, the people are living a good life. No wonder some people say that as long as the emperor is not incompetent, the people's suffering will be reduced by half."

Just as Luo Shu was walking towards another street, something strange happened.

Boom!

The way of heaven was shaking, and countless golden clouds of merit rushed towards Luoshu.

When Luo Shu saw the golden clouds of merit floating in the sky, he was confused. What was going on?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind: papermaking. This guy Wen Zhong must have invented paper, otherwise how could he have received such a blessing from heaven?

Don’t miss the merit. Merit in the prehistoric world is not given easily, unless you do something that contributes to the prehistoric world.

Merit can not only improve your cultivation, but also improve the level of your spiritual treasure. If you don't use either of them, you can also refine a golden body of merit. Even a saint will not dare to kill you easily, otherwise your soul will backfire and you will fall from the sainthood.

Luo Shu waved his hand, and countless golden clouds of merit merged into his body.

"Let's find a quiet place and then consider how to use it."

After saying that, Luo Shu walked towards Wen Zhong's mansion. He had almost finished his tour and decided to go back to rest.

At this time, all the powerful beings in the ancient times were excited. It had been a long time since merits had been bestowed on this world.

They didn't know who was the one who bestowed the merit, so they all counted on their fingers, but at this time the catastrophe was about to approach, the destiny was in chaos, and they couldn't figure out who had gained the merit.

Including the one in Zixiao Palace, he was also muttering to himself.

Wen Zhong was stunned at the paper-making scene. Just by making paper, heaven actually bestowed merit.

Although the merits absorbed by Wen Zhong are far less than those of Luoshu, it is also something that ordinary people cannot obtain!

Wen Zhong was grateful to Luo Shu in his heart, and sighed that senior brother was so good to me!

Wen Zhong looked at the thin paper in his hand and without stopping, he directly instructed the people below to continue making the paper.

He rode the black unicorn towards the palace without stopping.

Wen Zhong thought to himself: "This overwhelming wealth and honor is now mine. Promotion and high rank will be within my grasp."

Cultivation can be improved through merit, and official position can be improved through papermaking. Good things happen to everyone every day, and my family has especially many good things today.
