Daqin: The opening system asked me to propose to Lu Su

"Near water? What near water."

"This near water is naturally the ministers in this court."

"I think the court is in trouble this time, and the big guys will definitely donate generously."

Chen Hao smiled with a calm expression.

Li Si looked at Chen Hao suspiciously, but he didn't think so in his heart.

"I thought Chen Caizi had some kind of idea. It turned out that he wanted to become the laughing stock of the world."

He who is in charge of the civil affairs of the world naturally knows how hard it is to earn money.

Although many of the ministers in the court are from aristocratic and wealthy families, they also have quite a lot of money.

However, since others are not related to you, it is useless even for the emperor to speak, let alone just a jester.

"Prime Minister Li, this is what you said."

"If you give money later, don't regret it."

Chen Hao turned around and looked directly at Zulong.

"Your Majesty, I have something that can make the world's civil governance a new one."

"With this thing, the idiom of vehicle-mounted bucket volume will also become a thing of the past."

"Oh?"

Yingzheng's expression froze, and the "vehicle volume" naturally referred to the bamboo slips.

Thinking of this, he asked curiously, "Could it be that what Chen Qing said refers to the stationery."

"Yes."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, he unfolded the scroll in his hand.

I saw that a thin white "silk silk" appeared in front of everyone.

Chen Hao passed the scroll to the imperial case through the eunuch.

Zulong looked at it carefully and stroked it gently.

It was discovered that this white piece was not silk, but a material harder than silk.

Smell, there is a woody aroma, and the touch of cotton and linen.

"Chen Qing, what exactly is this?"

In fact, Ying Zheng had vaguely guessed five or six points in his mind, but he was just not sure.

Chen Hao smiled lightly, and replied: "This thing is called paper, it is used for writing, and it is made of trees and other things."

That's right, what Chen Hao presented was Cai Lun paper, one of the four great inventions.

With the assistance of the "Mohist Mechanism", after coming to Xianyang, it took him a short time to create a pulp machine.

Therefore, Cai Lun paper was born ahead of schedule.

When Ying Zheng heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

He involuntarily held a pen and ink in his hand, and wrote lightly on the white paper.

I saw one by one the bold Xiaozhuan under the hands of Zu Long, and they were done in one go.

"Good! Good!" Even though he was still a little unfamiliar with the use of paper.

But Ying Zheng can already feel the beauty of this paper, which is a drastic change for writing.

"Chen Qing! This paper is really a good thing!"

"The content that a piece of paper can carry is dozens of times that of a bamboo slip."

"Moreover, it's as thin as a cicada's wing, so it doesn't take much effort at all."

"If this paper can be mass-produced, I am afraid that scholars all over the world will be amazed by it!"

In a word, the audience was shocked.

Everyone's eyes were also focused on the piece of paper on Zu Long Yu's case that was full of small seal characters.

Ying Zheng smiled and asked the eunuch to distribute the paper to the ministers for circulation.

The ministers all showed surprise, and carefully read the secrets of this paper.

Some people even smell business opportunities from it.

"Hehe. Chen Qing, just now I smelled the material of this paper, it should be made of wood and cotton, right?"

Zulong is so smart, he naturally understands the truth.

Chen Hao nodded, took out another roll of paper and replied, "The material of this paper is some ordinary things."

"However, its production method cannot be made public for the time being."

"That's right!"

Ying Zheng deeply believed that these inventions were a major event related to the national economy and the people's livelihood.

It can even have an impact on the national fortune.

Moreover, as long as the paper mill opens, scholars all over the world will flock to it.

The resulting benefits can be said to be inexhaustible.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and said: "The proximity to water that Chen Qing mentioned before, could it be this papermaking technique."

"That's right, Your Majesty Shengming."

As soon as Chen Hao spread the papers, each minister directly distributed one.

"I really want to open a paper mill to share the worries of scholars all over the world."

Having said that, he gave a deep salute to Zulong.

"And I plan to hand over half of the paper mill's profits to the imperial court."

"The other half intends to use the name of shares to attract investment from all over the world."

The matter of shares appeared among merchants as early as the pre-Qin period.

Therefore, it is no stranger to hear this word in the hall.

Hearing this, all the courtiers' eyes were bright.

It seemed that all the contempt and hostility towards Chen Hao had disappeared.

Some ministers even rushed out in disregard of court etiquette.

"Chen Taibao, I want to become a shareholder. I want to put all my family's property on this paper factory."

"Chen Taibao! I'll pay [-] yuan, can you bring my little brother with me?"

Chen Hao stretched out two fingers and gestured for the word "one".

"One million yuan, I plan to divide this paper mill into 100 shares, one million yuan per share."

"hiss!"

As soon as this remark came out, half of the courtiers in the court were scared back half a step.

One share, 100 million, still excluding [-]% for the royal family.

One million yuan is equivalent to the income of officials at the Jiuqing level for seven or eight years.

Chen Hao's knife was really ruthless.

However, many officials just kept silent.

"Chen Taibao! There is something I want to discuss with you."

Li Si, who was still sneering at each other just now, suddenly became intimate.

"This share, can I buy twenty shares?"

"hiss!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers took a deep breath.

Unexpectedly, Li Si's family was so rich.

Twenty shares is 2000 million yuan.

This amount of silver can directly consume tens of thousands of large battles.

Everyone looked at Li Si with mixed feelings in their hearts.

But considering that he has been in a high position for so many years, it should not be difficult to save 2000 million.

But, Mr. Li, you still have to be shameless!

He was so righteous just now, why did he suddenly change his temper and want other people's shares now?

"Okay! No problem."

Chen Hao never refused anyone, even though he was very upset with Li Si.

However, no one feels bad about money.

With Li Si taking the lead, all the courtiers responded one after another.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan: "Chen Taibao, can I buy five shares?"

Prime Minister Zuo Feng Quji: "Chen Taibao, can I buy three shares?"

The rest of the ministers also stood up one after another, scrambling to buy the shares of Chen Hao Paper Mill.

Before long, the one hundred shares were all sold out.

Even Meng Tian timidly bought a share.

The total amount of funds raised was as much as [-] million yuan.

Amazing, terrible.

Ying Zheng was shocked when he saw the [-] million raised in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, all the courtiers under him can make money so much.

However, after thinking about it, Zulong figured it out again.

If you don't make money as an official, it's better to go home and sell red millet.

"Cough cough!"

Zu Long cleared his throat and immediately felt refreshed.

I have an extra [-] million yuan all of a sudden, and I have enough confidence in my heart.

Even if it is to buy expensive food in the hands of merchants, the military expenditure for this expedition is more than enough.

He looked at Chen Hao with satisfaction, and suddenly felt a little weird.

"Chen Qing, you have taken out all the shares in this paper mill, what about you?"

Chen Hao looked at Ying Zheng, smiled lightly and said, "I'm not interested in this paper mill."

"If your majesty thinks that the minister has merit, you can support the shipbuilding."
