Chapter 59 The Birth of Papermaking
"Your Majesty, this humble minister has only done what a humble minister should do!"

"Hahaha, you, you should be less modest! By the way, didn't the widow tell you to come to the palace on time before? Why are you so late? And you were late all morning!"

"Ah? Your Majesty, you know everything?"

"Hmph, what do you think? Is there anything in this palace that can be hidden from the widow?"

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up, as if he was very dissatisfied with Li Lin's words.

Hello Li Lin.

If the widow doesn't ask you, you still plan to keep it a secret from the widow!

That's abominable!

"Your Majesty, forgive me, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, but the villain really can't get up!"

"Hehe, what's the matter that keeps Young Master Li awake all morning? Could it be that you went to Fengyuelou to drink flowers and wine? Which little girl are you with?"

Ying Zheng made a joke.

Let Li Lin react immediately.

This guy.

It was clearly to scare him on purpose, so why did you deliberately want to ask him for a crime?
present.

He stopped talking nonsense and told the whole thing from beginning to end.

This moved Ying Zheng, and even saw some reddish tears in his eyes.

"Li Lin, thank you for your hard work! Unexpectedly, you worked hard for more than ten days in a row for this papermaking technique. No wonder, when I saw you today, I felt that you had lost a lot of weight."

"Your Majesty, it is right for me to fight for the Great Qin, for the people of Liming in the world, and for the King!"

Li Lin smiled, "This time, after several months of research, the papermaking technology has been completely overcome. We think that as long as one person masters the technology proficiently, one thousand sheets of high-grade white paper can be mass-produced every day." Paper!"

"A thousand sheets per day?"

"Well! This number is likely to increase in the future, because we are also innovating tools!"

He nodded affirmatively.

He looked at Old Yang behind him.

Old Yang understood immediately, took a step forward, knelt in front of Ying Zheng tremblingly, and said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Li said are all facts, and they are all conservative data."

"Nowadays, just a few of us can produce paper ranging from one thousand to three thousand in one day. This is the first batch of high-grade paper that we spent ten hours making yesterday. Your Majesty, please take a look." !"

"Ok!"

Ying Zheng let go of Li Lin, and took the paper handed over by Old Yang with both hands.

Look carefully at it.

And kept stroking it with his hands.

"That's right, that's right. Although it doesn't reach the level of paper used in those two books, the high-grade paper that is as white as snow is already pretty good. I like it very much! If this kind of paper is used as a government order, I will see it Zuoshu, there is no need to ask Father Zhong to bring so many cars by car every day!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise!"

Old Yangtou was overjoyed, he didn't expect that it was the first time to make a finished product.

Will be so favored by the king.

to be frank.

This is different from the paper he imagined. Although it is white, it feels not too silky, even sandy.

It should be that the proportion of water is not well controlled.

lead to too much.

So that the paper feels dry to the touch.

"Li Lin, if I assume that the more than 1 craftsmen in the construction department can make paper, then in a day, the construction department can produce tens of millions of sheets of paper!"

"Your Majesty, your idea is not right. If 1 artisans are engaged in papermaking, the paper produced is indeed an astronomical figure, but it is too easy to consume wood, which is not conducive to the ecological cycle, and it also degrades the value of paper. There is value."

Li Lin's eyeballs rolled, and Ying Zheng immediately felt that this kid had come up with some terrible idea again.

"Why don't we cut leeks? Rare high-end paper made from high-end wood. Ten thousand pieces are produced every day. One piece of paper costs one hundred yuan. Then mass-produce other low-end wood into low-end paper. Paper, so that every poor person in the Great Qin Dynasty can afford to read books, how about a copy of "Excerpts from the Laws of the Great Qin Dynasty" for ten pennies?"

"Well! I agreed with this idea before. At that time, I suspected that you couldn't make paper, so I didn't think about it deeply. How about it, when your mass production starts, I will arrange it!"

"Li Lin listened to the order, and I ordered you to be the deputy director of the construction department, in charge of paper-making matters!"

"promise!"

"Old Yang, listen to the order. I have ordered you to be the minister of papermaking in the construction department. You are mainly responsible for papermaking. All craftsmen in the construction department, except for the normal military equipment production personnel, need to be at your disposal."

"promise!"

"Okay, without further ado, before it's dark, go to the construction department!"

"promise!"

Li Lin was ecstatic and rushed to the construction department with Lao Yangtou.

Start delivering the king's orders.

It immediately attracted the attention of a large number of craftsmen.

The next morning.

Yingzheng rarely asked Prime Minister Lu Buwei to hold a court meeting in advance.

Inside the court meeting hall.

All the ministers looked at the king curiously.

They all wondered what happened to the king this year.

It is rare to convene court meetings in advance.

But not before.

In order to fight the Battle of Changping before, King Zhaoxiang held a court meeting half a month in advance.

nowadays.

The king suddenly became abnormal.

Let them all mistakenly think that the king and Lu Buwei are going to declare war on that country.

"Everyone, I have called you here today because I have an invention that I want you to take a look at! This invention can make the enlightenment of our Great Qin be brought to life by the common people, and it can make the students of the six eastern countries look forward to it!"

"Your Majesty, may I ask what kind of invention this is? It can have such power?"

Lu Buwei was also at a loss.

He originally thought that what the king wanted to summon the ministers to announce was about horseshoes and saddles, so he agreed to the king's request without even thinking about it.

Help him to open the court meeting in advance.

did not expect.

It will look like this.

Is it.

And that kid Li Lin got some special ghost stuff from Taishang Laojun again?
Thought of here.

Suddenly, his heart reached his throat.

This Taishang Laojun is really a serious confidant, it's only been a few days, and he and his junior have fiddled with something new?

"It's papermaking!"

"Papermaking?"

Suddenly, his heart returned to his stomach again.

Ouch.

Isn't that what Li Lin was muttering a few months ago?
It is said that it is possible to turn wood into thin silky paper?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a little smile, "Your Majesty, there are some things that you need to see to believe. Your Majesty, you must not listen to one side's words, and tell the world in a hurry!"

"What? Does the prime minister think that the king will be deceived by the bad guys?"

"Oh?"

Lu Buwei looked back.

Li Lin, who made him angry and hated, came out from among the officials.

today.

He was wearing official uniform.

And it's a kid's official uniform specially made for him!

"Your Majesty, Li Lin has fulfilled his mission. He has successfully developed the papermaking technique and has put it into production. Come here, and present the first batch of paper made by the construction department!"

"promise!"

soon.

Following Li Lin's order.

A few guards outside the hall carried a solid wooden box and placed it in front of everyone very cumbersomely.

Ying Zheng smiled and got down from his seat.

Lu Buwei next to him followed closely behind him.

All the ministers also looked sideways.

The box opened slowly.

The paper inside is as white as snow, exuding a faint fragrance of wood puree.

Very elegant and nice smell.

"Your Majesty, my lords, this is the paper made by papermaking. You might as well pick it up and have a look. How about a hands-on experience?"

"okay!"

"Then we won't be polite!"

Everyone is very curious.

They didn't know that this kind of exquisite paper was used for writing, and they thought it was a treasure, and they held it in their hands one by one, playing with it.

That silky feel.

It makes them feel like they can't put it down for a short time.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully launching papermaking technology 100 years ahead of schedule, which greatly improved the overall national strength of Daqin!Reward the host with thirty bags of high-yield corn seeds! 】

"Corn seeds? Good! That's great. I now have high-yielding potato seeds and wheat seeds, and I have another corn. It seems that the arrival of the Great Qin Dynasty will not be too far away! The hope of unifying the world Appeared too!"

Conquer the whole world.

In the era of Daqin.

What is most needed?
It's the population!
What is it that can cause a large increase in population?
It's food!
The high-yield corn and potatoes have created a myth, that is, the prosperous age of "Kang Yong Qian", with 5000 to [-] million people!

If the Great Qin unified the six countries, there would be 5000 million people.

That conquers the world.

Do we need to use any tactics?

One person can spit all the way from Xianyang to the British Isles by spitting at one mouthful!
