Since then, Xinzheng's clean-up work has been completed, and a new plan will start next.

A few days ago, Han Fei discussed related matters with Ye Chen. According to Ye Chen's intention, he wanted to build this kind of royal capital into the most core business gathering place in the entire Central Plains, making it the world's economic and trade center.

Next, we need to adjust the overall layout and economic structure of Xinzheng.

To realize this plan, two conditions must be met.The first is the superior location, which Xinzheng fully meets.

Originally, South Korea was at the center of the intersection of the seven countries, and Xinzheng was the royal city. It was very uncomfortable to be caught between several countries.

However, if it is developed as a commercial and trade area, its disadvantages can be turned into advantages. It is located in the central position, connecting Qin, Chu, and Wei, and it can be said to extend in all directions.

I am afraid that there will be no more suitable place in the entire Central Plains.

In addition, it is very important to have unique characteristics, preferably those with great value.

The original Xinzheng has a shortcoming on this issue, because since the rise of the Qin State, resources from all sides have been converging towards Xianyang, and Linzi and Handan have also become extremely high-ranking cities because of their cultural prosperity.

As for South Korea's Xinzheng, although it is in the center of the world, but because there is really nothing to show for it, it is not ranked among the Seven Kingdoms, and such a good location is in vain.

However, that was before, and the future Xinzheng will definitely become another super city no less than Xianyang!

The reason why Han Fei has such confidence is that apart from South Korea's superior geographical location and its own capabilities, it is also inseparable from Ye Chen's help.

Slowly open the drawing in his hand, there are some words and patterns recorded on it, which are the specific steps of papermaking.

And this one is different from the one given to Li Si before, the paper produced according to this method is not the cloud paper circulating in the market, but a clean white dust-free paper!

The reason why Ye Chen handed over papermaking to Qin State was not only because he liked Xinzheng, but also because he had a better choice.

Although paper is still a rare commodity and the price remains high, it is impossible to keep it in one's own hands all the time because of the huge benefits. If you want to develop for a long time, you must let part of the benefits go out.

It won't be long before cloud paper will become the mainstream writing tool, and the price will naturally drop significantly by then.

Therefore, the best choice is to give up the middle and low-end market to Qin Guo, and then sell better dust-free paper by himself, continuing to take the high-end route.

In this way, not only will the pressure on itself be reduced, but it can also continue to maintain the monopoly of high-end products, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

And with the dust-free paper as a facade, Xinzheng's sense of presence will also be greatly improved. With the strengthening of business exchanges, its status will naturally increase rapidly.

Faced with such a beautiful plan, Han Fei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and his heart was full of beautiful longing...

Just as he was racking his brains to rebuild Xinzheng, Li Si also returned to Qin State and was reporting work in Xianyang Palace.

In the main hall, Ying Zheng sat on the throne and asked, "What's the result of this trip?"

Hearing the question, Li Si quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "I have owed you the grace of the king. Please forgive me for failing to complete all the things that the king asked me to do!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and asked, "What hasn't been dealt with properly?"

"Your Majesty has ordered repeatedly to retrieve the copper box from the Korean royal family, but I have searched for it for a long time but have not found it. Han An also said that the copper box was lost a few months ago, and its whereabouts are still unknown! "

Li Si told the story without any concealment. Others reported the good news but not the bad news, but he was just the opposite, taking the blame on himself first and saving the credit for later.

This can not only reduce the guilt, but also impress the superiors as a loyal minister.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng tapped the table a few times with his fingers, as if he was thinking, but he didn't pursue it too much.

After a few breaths, he opened his mouth and said, "What happened to the other two things?"

Li Si replied: "Bai Yifei agreed to hand over the authority and move to Nanyang thanks to King Hongfu. Now South Korea is under the control of Daqin, and officials at all levels have already made arrangements."

Ying Zheng nodded. In fact, he already knew about this matter before, and it was basically the same as what the other party said.

Then he continued: "What about the cloud paper?"

Li Si took out the two envelopes given by Ye Chen, and said, "Fortunately, the papermaking skills have been obtained. In addition, Senior Brother Ye has a gift to send to the king!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed, and he ordered: "Submit it."

The waiter next to him responded, and then quickly walked towards Li Si to pick up the envelope in his hand, then bowed to the throne, and handed it over with both hands.

Ying Zheng opened one of the envelopes and looked at the results carefully, and then smiled lightly on his face: "I didn't expect this strange cloud paper to be made of discarded materials. It's really interesting."

While he was surprised in his heart, he was more happy.The production cost of paper is much lower than I imagined, which means that once it is produced on a large scale, the profits will be extremely amazing.

At that time, wouldn't all the wealth in the world be occupied by Daqin?

With enough money, the day when I rule the world is just around the corner...

Chapter 282 Yingzheng's Bravery

Yingzheng has always been particularly keen on papermaking, but now that he has it in his hands, he finds that the value of this method is even higher than he estimated. If he can use it properly, the profit will be beyond imagination.

After roughly calculating the income, even Ying Zheng's courage couldn't help being surprised, and his breath couldn't help but rush a little.

Suppressing the excitement in my heart, I put the papermaking art away properly, and then opened another envelope.

He was also quite curious about Ye Chen's gift, and the things that could be handed over by the other party must be unusual.

Opening the envelope, he glanced at the paper, but his originally calm expression gradually became serious, and then surprise and joy appeared in his eyes.

In half a quarter of an hour, a smile could not help showing on his face, and he said: "This time, I really gave this widow a great gift."

Hearing this, Li Si's expression changed, and his heart became more and more curious. What did Ye Chen give that made the former so happy?

Ying Zheng put the letter in his hand on the table, and then let the rest of the people in the hall disperse, leaving Li Si alone.

"Does Li Qing's family know that your senior brother gave Gu what?"

Li Si heard this, and said respectfully: "This is dedicated to the king by senior brother. I don't dare to speculate, but it should not be a vulgar thing."

"It's really not a vulgar thing, you should take a look."

While talking, Ying Zheng waved his hand casually, and the paper on the table was blown up by a gentle force, floating towards the opponent's position.

The flimsy paper stopped firmly in front of Li Si as if being pulled by an invisible force.

Li Si raised his hands to take it, looked at the content on it, and after a few breaths, he also showed a look of shock.

Looking up at the former, he cupped his hands and said, "No wonder I didn't have the slightest idea when I imitated the cloud paper before. It turns out that a material called lime is needed."

Ying Zheng nodded: "If Ye Chen hadn't told this method, I'm afraid no one will be able to imitate cloud paper within a few years. Moreover, this kind of thing called lime, in addition to being a necessary item for papermaking, also has Many wonderful uses."

Li Sidao: "That's right, if this lime is really what the senior brother said, using it to kill insects, detoxify, stop bleeding, and heal wounds is also very good. Our soldiers can carry some with them when they fight, and it will surely reduce many casualties.

In addition, the strong bonding effect of this material is more conducive to casting city walls and fortresses, and it also has a great effect on combat and defense. "

Ying Zheng heard the words and continued: "When I went to Xinzheng a few years ago, I took a look at the residence built by Ye Chen. I found that it was extraordinarily strong, and now I think it should be the reason for the lime.
