Chapter 172 Hardcover Edition Three Kingdoms
"I'm afraid the Imperial Master will be disappointed. I still eat whole grains and grains, and suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. How can an immortal do this?"
Xu Fudao: "But His Highness must be the most immortal person in this world."
"Those in Kunlun are the ones who are closest to immortals, right?" Jiang Fan said with a smile: "The national master's immortal style has a strong intention to become an immortal. Could it be related to the holy land of Kunlun?"
Xu Fu's eyes moved slightly, but he stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness, if I can get the Kunlun Gate, how can I still miss the earthly place?"
Jiang Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and he put on a mysterious expression: "The Imperial Master... they all say that a person from Kunlun will be born in one year, who will walk in the world, understand the world of mortals, and temper his Taoist heart. I haven't heard of this person lately.
Who is it? Now that the boy has seen that the master’s immortal style and his alchemy skills are the best in the world, I think it is very possible..."
Xu Fu laughed loudly: "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. I think so, but it's a pity that I can't get in. Your Highness is a genius and has great opportunities. Maybe one day we will meet you. By then, I hope that your Highness will recommend you."
Ichiban."
He seemed to be chatting and laughing casually, but his words were never far away from immortality and immortality. Jiang Fan became more and more vigilant.
Fortunately, Xu Fu did not continue to talk more, but said: "I am here this time, firstly, to congratulate His Highness, and secondly, to refine a few elixirs and ask Your Highness to taste them."
Just when Jiang Fan was about to refuse, something suddenly moved in his mind. He wanted to see what the elixir Xu Fu had concocted, so he raised his hand and said, "The national master is very good at alchemy, and the elixir he concocted is a worldly treasure. Jiang Fan refuses to do so."
Xu Fu then placed a sandalwood box on the table, stood up and said, "Thank you so much, Your Highness. Your Highness is busy with affairs at home, so I won't bother you much. I will visit you another day."
Jiang Fan refused to hold him back and ordered Ding Shaoan to take some tea leaves and give them to Xu Fu.
After he left, Jiang Fan looked at the wooden box on the table and frowned.
Ding Shaoan returned to the room and said, "Sir, I have already sent you away. This Imperial Master is very generous. He has sent a cartful of all kinds of treasures and rare medicinal materials."
Jiang Fan stared at the elixir for a while: "Send this thing to me in the secret room and don't let anyone else touch it."
Ding Shaoan saw something wrong with Jiang Fan's expression and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Xu Fu, Xu Fu...
Jiang Fan sat quietly alone for a long time, his eyes constantly changing...
——
In addition to Meng Ao and Xu Fu, Jiang Fan met an unexpected person, Li Xiu.
Jiang Fan was very interested in this one of the three men in charge of Da Qin's criminal law. And Li Xiu was also shocked by Jiang Fan's unintentional idea of governing the country by law, especially Jiang Fan's idea that "everyone is before the law."
Theories such as "equality, the prince's crime and the common people's crime" shocked him even more. He pestered Jiang Fan for a long time to discuss, and then left with full of admiration.
He never thought that Jiang Fan's attainments in law were so profound and advanced, opening a door that he had never seen before. It would be an exaggeration to say that the clouds could be cleared and the sun would shine through. But Jiang Fan was a little worried, not knowing that he had put himself
Don't do it all at once. You should carefully assess the situation and take time to see whether you have listened to the warning. If you are impatient, you may not end up well. After thinking about it, I feel that I have said too much to him.
However, Jiang Fan felt that this man was extremely scheming, and seemed to be extremely repulsive to various schools of thought. Although there was no trace of it, Jiang Fan could feel that his words were very targeted.
The most surprising thing was to receive a congratulatory note from Gao Qi, the current military marshal. The least surprising thing was that the villain Tu Gaorong didn't express any words at all.
This person has always been targeted at Jiang Fan, and is the only villain who has ever opposed Jiang Fan's title of king in the court. Jiang Fan always feels a little confused. There is no doubt that this person is loyal to the empress, but why is he so unhappy with himself?
On this day, the three ministers and nine ministers sent congratulatory gifts one after another. However, they also knew that they were not familiar with Jiang Fan and could not come to his door rashly. Most of them did not come to disturb him. Jiang Fan also ordered people to send invitations, inviting everyone to gather at Penglai Residence the night after.
, counts as a return gift.
In any case, Jiang Fan's unprecedented title of king shocked the entire Qin Dynasty, and the officialdom was even more ups and downs. Even the people talked about it everywhere. Although this king was just a free king who didn't care about state affairs.
In the evening, Ding Shao'an, who was in charge of counting the gifts, and Sister Xie Yuhua's faces were filled with joy, and their eyes were like copper coins.
"Young master, you have become rich. The gifts you received today are worth ten thousand taels of gold."
Jiang Fan said with disdain: "Brother Taohua, look at your worthless look. These things are all favors and will need to be repaid in the future."
Ding Shaoan hurriedly said: "Master, please stop. I can't bear the name of Brother Taohua. Please don't scream in front of others."
Jiang Fan shook his head and laughed: "Never mind them, young master, I am still the same Jiang Fan. Okay, everyone has a busy day today. Well, the nanny of the Jie family sisters is also here. I will prepare something for you tonight. You can eat, drink and have fun tonight, and the wine will be in charge."
Enough! Also, don’t forget to send it to the Shan brothers and sisters. There is something happy in the house these two days. Let them rest for two days. After all, I have sealed the title of Xiaoyao King. Don’t make it look like I have sealed the title of King of Hell.
"
Ding Shaoan's peach blossom eyes began to glow: "Thank you, Master."

Before the decoration was completed, Jiang Fan had another major event, reorganizing his fiefdom - Lishan County.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of money, so Jiang Fan decided to do it together. However, his idea for Lishan was extremely grand, and it could not be accomplished overnight. He could only roughly clean it up first and sort out the venues that must be used.
It’s time for all the workshops to be launched.
Manpower, manpower is becoming increasingly scarce.
Fortunately, as Jiang Fan expected, a month later, the Black Mountain Eight Bears and the second batch of 300 people from the Gongshu family finally arrived in Yangdu. At this time, it happened that with hundreds of craftsmen working day and night, Mortal Residence and Qinglianyuan
Many rooms have been installed, enough to accommodate everyone.
With Gongshu's help, Jiang Fan was finally freed from all these miscellaneous matters. All he had to do was let the Gongshu follow the manuscript.
During this period of time, Jiang Fan hardly left home. Except for sending extra manuscripts to the empress every day, he spent the rest of his time hiding in his study and the so-called laboratory and working hard. Except for Gong Shuyu and others who knew a little bit, no one else knew anything about it.
I don't know what he is busy with.
During this period, Zhao Gao's library also successfully launched the first volume of "Three Kingdoms". As soon as this wonderful book came out, it was enthusiastically welcomed by all literati, military generals, traffickers and soldiers.
In addition to the popularity of the book itself, the most surprising thing is that this book is not made of bamboo slips or expensive rice paper, but is made of paper as thin as cicada wings and as white as snow. It is as thin as a roll.
There are actually 100,000 words recorded. And each word is neat, square, and extremely beautiful. Not only that, this volume of "Three Kingdoms" is also divided into two versions-a hardcover version and a simplecover version.
The hardcover edition is sealed in a pear wood box with carved patterns, and the cover is made of calfskin wrapped in hard paper. The pattern is exquisite, and the paper inside is as white as jade. This hardcover edition is very expensive, costing five taels of silver per roll, which is equivalent to three or four dollars for an ordinary person.
monthly income.
However, except for the soft paper cover of the paperback version, the paper inside is slightly worse than the hardcover version, and the price is actually extremely cheap, only one hundred cents. This made the people of Yangdu who loved "Three Kingdoms" praise Xiaoyao Wang Renyi.
A high-ranking official, a wealthy family, and a house of poems and books would naturally want hardcover editions. Who would look down on this kind of thing? Even a small official would not be stingy with these five taels of silver. This is a collectible.
But the paperback version is not much worse. Just look at the paper. It must be expensive. Why is it so cheap? It raises many questions. After all, the number of people buying the paperback version is the largest. But considering the scary price of the hardcover version, most of them can also
