The Book of the Ministry of Rites said anxiously: "Your Majesty, when is this, and the humble minister is going to die of anxiety, how can I care about this?"

Ying Zigao hurriedly asked, "Why is Aiqing so anxious?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was sweating from his forehead, and he said hastily, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is about to start in an hour, but the writing materials and stationery are still missing!"

"Didn't I tell you everything?" Ying Zigao hurriedly said, "I have my own solution to this matter! I have already sent someone to the examination room for the new writing materials. You can go back and preside over the examination without worry!"

"Your Majesty, what is the writing material?" Hearing Ying Zigao's words, the Minister of Rites asked with some concern.

"That's it." Ying Zigao saw it. If he didn't show the paper and new stationery, the old gentleman of the Ministry of Rites would not be at ease.

After a little thought, he asked the accompanying eunuch to take out the paper, new-style brush, loose ink, and inkstone.

"Is this the new type of writing material His Majesty mentioned?"

The Minister of Rites picked up the raw-edged paper, looked at it carefully, and then picked up the brush and inkstone pine ink to look at it carefully, and couldn't help but said excitedly.

Ying Zigao nodded and said, "Yes, these are the new writing materials and stationery that I let the craftsmen concentrate on developing!"

Then he said seriously: "Aiqing can try to write something casually and see how it works!"

"My minister is bold!" The Minister of Rites hurriedly clapped his hands in salute.

Immediately, paper was laid out on the table next to him.Let the accompanying eunuch grind the ink.Pick up the brush and start writing carefully on the rough-edged paper.

"This writing material is really good!"

Looking at the four characters of Guotai Min'an written by himself, the Minister of Rites couldn't help being very excited!
"What I sent to the examination room is this new type of writing material, which I call paper!"

Ying Zi said loudly, "Ai Qing, what do you think of this paper?"

The Minister of Rites hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the performance of the paper is very good!

Thin and flexible, the writing is clear and the color is obvious! "

While talking, he looked at the brush in his hand and the inkstone in the eunuch's hand, Mo Kuai, full of praise: "There is also this new style of brush, pine ink and inkstone, which are far better than the previous stationery!"

Ying Zigao immediately asked, "Ai Qing, are you relieved now?"

"Your Majesty, I am relieved!" The Minister of Rites hurriedly said, "I will hurry back to the examination room and preside over the examination!

Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will lead the officials of the Ministry of Rites and do my best to make the imperial examination a success! "

After dismissing the Minister of Rites, Ying Zigao couldn't help but smile triumphantly, and then said to the craftsmen, "Hurry up! Whether I can eat fresh vegetables and fruits this winter is up to you!"

The gardener and the craftsmen hurriedly agreed, and got busy with their hands and feet.

At this moment, a group of fully armed elite Qin troops hastily rushed to the examination room!

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw that a team of heavily armed palace guards came and escorted more than 50 carriages!
Supply [-].There are a lot of bamboo slips and wooden tablets needed by the scholars who take the exam!
It is definitely not something that can be loaded in just 50 carriages!
One by one can't help but hang their heads in despair!
"Which adult is the official in charge of the imperial examination?"

The officer of the Imperial Guard led the troops to the examination room and ordered the troops to stand still.

Then he stood up and asked loudly.

"It's my official!" The left servant of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said hastily.

"This will be ordered by His Majesty to deliver new writing materials and new stationery!"

The guard officer said seriously, and waved his big hand as he spoke: "Unload the box from the carriage! Bring it in!"

With an order, more than 100 elite soldiers agreed.

A box was unloaded from the carriage and carried to the open space in the examiner's office area!
"This is the new writing material and stationery sent by the emperor?"

Looking at more than 100 boxes, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help frowning, and asked seriously.

"Exactly!" the guard officer said seriously.

"That's all?" the right servant of the Ministry of Rites said angrily: "There are a total of 5000 candidates taking the exam. Such a small amount of writing materials is not enough at all!"

"Your Majesty asked me to send you so many writing materials and stationery!"

The officer of the Imperial Guard said solemnly: "Now the things have been delivered, please ask the responsible adults to sign a receipt!"

As he spoke, the guard officer took out a piece of paper from his pocket!
Seeing the piece of paper in the hand of the guard officer, the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help being surprised.

One by one, their eyes widened and they looked at the yellow piece of paper carefully.

"What are you doing looking at this piece of paper?" The officer of the guard couldn't help becoming anxious, and said impatiently, "Hurry up and sign it! I'm still waiting to go back and report to the emperor!"

"Wait a moment, general." The Minister of Rites Zuo Shilang came back to his senses, took the piece of paper from the officer of the guard, opened it, and saw a few lines of clear seal script written on the piece of paper!
"Is this the new type of writing material His Majesty mentioned?"

Looking at the piece of paper, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and asked hastily.

"Yes, this is the writing material that His Majesty asked Ben to send. Your Majesty calls it paper!"

The guard officer hurriedly said: "Sir, please sign your name quickly, so that this general can go back and report to His Majesty!"

"General, don't be impatient!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "After the official has read it, it is not too late to sign!"

While talking, he ordered: "Come here! Open all these boxes for me!"

As soon as the order was given, the clerks of the Ministry of Rituals immediately carefully opened the wooden boxes one by one.

When I opened the box, I saw that there were stacks of neatly cut raw paper inside!

There are also several boxes containing neatly bundled new brushes, packed loose ink blocks and inkstones.

"So much paper, brushes and ink sticks!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said with surprise on his face!

"I don't know how to use this paper?"

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help being interested, took out a piece of rough-edged paper, picked up a new-style writing brush, and said to his followers: "Grind the ink for me, I want to see the effect of this new-style stationery!"

The attendant hurriedly agreed, took out the inkstone and ink sticks, and carefully ground the ink.

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites immediately picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote 4 large characters on the paper: Notes for the examination room!

"This paper is really good. The writing is clear and the color is round!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help admiring loudly.

"This new style of writing brush and ink stick is also very effective!" The right servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but said loudly: "It's much better than the previous stationery!"
