Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 6 Want to do it?Who is afraid of whom!
Nanhai County, Panyu City.

General Wang Jian glared.

"What did you say?!"

"The First Emperor is missing?!"

Not far from Wang Jian was a group of soldiers kneeling, they were the soldiers of the first emperor's east tour.

After the boat was blown down by the wind and waves, they were lucky to be washed back to land by the sea.

Facing the furious General Wang Ben, those soldiers knelt on the ground and didn't dare to fart.

"As the guard of the first emperor, he can actually make the first emperor disappear in front of your eyes!"

"At this moment, the first emperor is even more missing, but he still has the face to come back and not look for it, so why should I spare your lives?!"

Wang Jian glared angrily, but those soldiers were so frightened that they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"The vast sea stretches as far as the eye can see. I also wanted to find it, but I didn't even have a reference point. I was really powerless with just a few people waiting, so I came back and begged General Wang Jian to lead his troops to find it!"

This sentence made Wang Jian tremble with anger.

"You brought back the news of the disappearance of the first emperor, do you think you can mobilize soldiers to find the first emperor?! Do you know what the consequences will be?"

After saying this, Wang Jian pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it with a very angry expression, about to chop it down.

"All right, all right," a voice came from the side, restraining Wang Jian's irrational impulse.

"Prime Minister Zhao,"

Wang Jian quickly put away his anger, and the rushing man waved his hand as a gesture.

Great Qin Prime Minister Zhao Gao waved his hands to show that he was okay, and then asked the kneeling soldiers.

"Who else knows about this besides you?"

The soldier hurriedly shook his head in fear: "No one knows except us."

"Okay!" A chill flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, but he didn't express it: "You must not tell others about this matter. If anyone other than us finds out, the whole family will be killed, and even the domestic animals will not be spared!"

"In addition, General Wang Jian, gather your cronies and take ten boats to go to sea to search."

"Remember," Zhao Gao said with a serious expression, "Emperor Shi, if you die, you must see the corpse, and if you live, you must see the person. If you can't find it, don't come back!"

"Understood." Wang Jian was not a fool, of course he knew what Zhao Gao was worried about.

If the news of the first emperor's absence spreads, the remnants of the six kingdoms will make a comeback. At that time, the country and society of the Qin Dynasty will be in jeopardy, and the prosperity brought by the first emperor will once again turn into disputes among countries!

desert island.

The Big Three of Daqin sat around Chang Yu, staring at him curiously as he sketched the characters on the paper.

Those characters are straight and powerful, not like the characters of Daqin nor the characters of other six countries.

Although it is a little unfamiliar, it is also a little familiar. They can probably guess a few words even if they can guess a few words. They are really amazed.

"what are you writing?"

As a civil servant, Li Si couldn't help asking curiously.

"IOU."

Chang Yu said quietly.

"What IOU?!"

Wang Ben raised a few scales beside him.

Chang Yu thought that he was going to renege on the debt, so he jumped up and said anxiously: "Do you want to pay the debt?!"

"I don't count these grains, but we have to settle the accounts of the Landlords. These are two different things!"

Who can't get along with money?
The three of them add up to tens of thousands!
I don't know when I'll be able to leave though.

At the very least, there is something to look forward to here, so that you don't have nothing to think about and wait for death every day.

"Um," Wang Ben was yelled at, and blushed from the stimulation, "We're not trying to renege on our debts!"

"I say you," pointing to the paper in Chang Yu's hand: "Use that thin and soft thing in your hand!"

Chang Yu was taken aback, and shook the paper in his hand: "You mean this piece of paper?"

"Paper?"

what?
The three giants of the Great Qin Dynasty all had doubts on their faces.

In their impression, it seems that paper is silk like satin.

The price of silk is too high, ordinary people can't afford it, even the first emperor has to save it.

Except for silk, most of them use bamboo slips or stone plaques, and the portability is also a headache.

However, in the hands of Chang Yu in front of him at this moment, the piece of paper is much thinner and lighter than silk.

Although the texture is rough, it is much better than silk, at least it won't crack if you don't tear it deliberately.

"You use such precious paper to write boring things!" Wang Ben yelled angrily.

boring?

Not boring!

There are tens of thousands of numbers!

Wang Ben went crazy, why didn't this guy understand!
"calm down,"

Qin Shihuang stopped Wang Ben who was about to kill someone, and asked patiently and gently.

"Young man, paper can't be used like this. It can only be used to record some important events or great achievements. It's a waste to use paper to write accounts like you do."

"waste?"

Chang Yu took half a step back, resisting the urge to hit someone.

I'm afraid these guys have never been in the city before!

How precious can paper that can be bought for a few bucks!

Although resources are scarce on the island, making paper is not difficult for Chang Yu.

Bark and rattan bark are good raw materials for papermaking, but the extraction process is more troublesome.

I had nothing to do on the island, but Chang Chang got a lot of paper, otherwise I would have to jump into the sea to wipe my ass.

Fortunately, when I was in school, the teacher talked about similar courses, so I didn't listen to some of them.

When he heard Chang Yu say that he also made a lot of paper to wipe his butt, Wang Ben drew out his sword directly beside him!
"What are you doing!"

Chang Yu was startled, and picked up the wooden stick at his feet.

Want to get started?
Who is afraid of who!
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

Both Shi Huangdi and Li Si stopped Wang Ben
Li Si looked a little embarrassed: "Young man, for us, paper is indeed very precious and rare."

Among the lands of the Six Kingdoms ruled by the Great Qin, Chang Yu had never seen the paper in his hand, and the only other things that could be called paper were silk and other satins.

But those silks and satins are very precious, and the extraction of raw materials and production steps are extremely difficult, let alone writing some IOUs like Chang Yu.

The eyes of Shi Huang who was standing next to him flickered, and he lowered his voice and Li Si said to Wang Ben: "Before we landed on the island, he was the only one on the island, but he was able to extract this kind of paper that is no worse than silk, which is enough to show that he Possessing unimaginable refining technology, if he can be brought under my Daqin's command."

Let's stop talking, smart people don't need to say it out loud, Li Si and Wang Ben both have ideas.

Paper like silk is extremely precious and can only be used to record major events or great achievements.

Ordinary people can't afford it at all, and even princes and nobles may not be willing to spend money.

If the refining technology in Chang Yu's hands can be obtained, it will greatly increase the use of paper and interrupt the monopoly of certain princes and nobles.

Many concepts can be spread to every corner of the Great Qin territory in the form of paper and words for the world to learn.

At that time, above the court, civil servants will no longer be in short supply.
