Moreover, cloth is also used to transmit information, which costs a lot, and ordinary people can't afford it!

"This thing is so light, but the texture is not as smooth as cloth. It's the first time I've seen it. What is it?"

After looking at it for a while, Li Si came to a realization and asked!

Ying Zheng and the others looked at Ziqian with the same doubts!

"Paper!"

"Paper?"

Several people said in unison!

"Correct!"

"What's the use?"

"There are many uses. The biggest use is for writing. Ordinary books are carved on bamboo slips. The cost is expensive and the writing area is limited. Ordinary people have no chance to read! And it is inconvenient to carry!"

"And this paper is cheap to make, portable, and the writing area is greatly increased! The content on a hundred catties of bamboo slips can be written on this stack of paper!"

Ziqian kept writing how to use paper for Yingzheng's popular science!

Chapter 13 Papermaking

"What has such a magical effect? ​​It will change drastically in the future!"

As an emperor, Ying Zheng naturally knew the usefulness of this paper!

"Besides writing, are there other uses?"

Ying Zheng calmed down and looked up at Ziqian!

"There are so many! It can be processed into oiled paper and made into umbrellas. When going to the toilet, it can replace bamboo slices! It can also be made into bank notes! It can also be used as lanterns!"

Ziqian looked sour, like a teacher giving a lecture to students!

"Silver note?"

Ying Zheng and the others looked at Ziqian in bewilderment, obviously not understanding what he was talking about!

"That's right, it's a bank note, that is, paper money! Make the paper into a bank note, write the number of taels on the bank note, and you can exchange it for as much money as you want, and then add anti-counterfeiting measures on the bank note to prevent people from cheating! "

"It's easy to carry, so that in the future, merchants don't need to bring money in big carts and small carts when they go out to do business, and the itinerary is also easy, which speeds up the business cycle and greatly saves costs!"

Ziqian gave them detailed answers one by one!

"Where do you go to exchange the bank notes? The government?"

After listening to Li Si, he expressed his thoughts!

"There is more! Master Li, don't worry, Qianzhuang! Set up a bank in the name of the government, and only the government can open it, private people can't do it! Your Majesty, this is a huge profit, and it must be in your own hands!"

Ziqian turned to look at Ying Zheng, with the corners of his mouth like a businesswoman!

"Exorbitant profits? Don't be foolish, tell me quickly!"

Ying Zheng couldn't see where the huge profits were at all, it was because Ying Zheng was stupid, it was just a marketing tactic, how could it be possible at this time!

Not only Ying Zheng, Li Si and the others also looked at Ziqian with their faces covered! ..

"Your Majesty! Think about it, if there is only one bank in the Great Qin Dynasty that can exchange money, it must be very rich! Then you can lend money, that is, borrow money. For example, if someone needs money urgently, you can lend him the money first!"

"However, why should you give him the money if you are not relatives? Then you will need interest. How much money will you borrow from him? How much interest will you need to borrow the money from him! Instead of negotiating with him, sign an IOU. Just pay back the interest!"

"For example, one person can earn one tael from borrowing money from the bank, and one hundred people can earn 100 taels! Of course, the specific interest will be determined by His Majesty! Then the money earned by the bank will be collected into the national treasury. There are money earned and money from taxes. , will His Majesty still worry about the emptiness of the national treasury in the future?"

"The treasury is rich, your Majesty don't say you can build a Great Wall, as long as you have money, people can build ten!"

Ziqian patiently explained to Yingzheng!

"Haha! You kid is not only strong in martial arts, but also has such a brain! Good! Good! Good!"

Ying Zheng said three good things in a row, you can see his mood at the moment!

Longyan Joy!

"Oh, that's right! You haven't said how the paper is made?"

Yingzheng remembered that Ziqian hadn't mentioned its production method and raw materials yet!

"There are a lot of raw materials. I will write down the materials that can be used to make paper later. I use wood as the raw material here, and the quality is good. Put the wood used to make paper into the drum and remove the bark."

"Then chop it up, send the broken wood chips into the digester, then wash the pulp with a lot of clean water, and remove the thick chips, knots, stones and sand in the pulp through screening and purification"...

Ziqian explained every step and detail of papermaking to Yingzheng!

"Did you remember it all?"

"take note of it!"

Li Si nodded!

"Your Majesty! You can order the papermaking technology to be announced to the public, so that everyone can use paper! The happiness index of the people of our Great Qin will be raised by a notch!"

"Ziqian! You could have made paper yourself and sold it. This is a huge profit opportunity! Why did Wan take it out and let me announce it to the public?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ziqian very puzzled, yes!Ziqian was able to make money by himself in the first place, and he could be the richest man in Qin Dynasty just around the corner!

"Your Majesty! As a citizen of Daqin, this is my little effort for Daqin. I also hope that Your Majesty will stop forcing me to become an official in the court!"

Ziqian cupped his hands towards Yingzheng with a serious expression!

"Hey! That's all! In this way, when you return to Xianyang with me, don't worry, I won't let you become an official. When you return to Xianyang, I will give you a house. It will be your reward for your meritorious service and your contribution to Daqin! How about it? "

Ying Zheng looked at Ziqian and shook his head helplessly!

I can only let Ziqian go back to Xianyang with him, nothing else, at least I don't have to go so far when I want to see him!

"I still want a hundred acres of land!"

Ziqian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said!

"You want land? You brat would rather farm than be an official! Are you going to be so mad?"

Hearing Ziqian's words, Ying Zheng was furious!

"Your Majesty, please calm down first, what I plant is not ordinary! I guarantee you have never seen it before!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was angry, Ziqian hurriedly explained!

"What new tricks have you come up with?"

"Hey! Your Majesty will know when the time comes!"

Ziqian played tricks again!

"The stinky boy is playing tricks again, all right! I'm sure!"

Yingzheng had no choice but to agree with Ziqian!

"I still want to take Qianqian to Xianyang!"

Ziqian climbed up the pole and wanted to bring Lin Qianqian with him!

Chapter 14

"Qianqian? Is that the little girl from last time?"

"Yes!"

"Stinky boy! All your reluctance before was because of this little girl? I can tell you, the Hero Tomb of Wenrou Township!"

"Your Majesty! I don't want to. Why are you blaming the little girl?"

"You brat still dare to talk back? Believe it or not, I will slap you!"

finished!Ying Zheng raised his hand to hit Ziqian!

Seeing this, Ziqian hurried out to find Lin Qianqian!

"I've never seen His Majesty like this!"

"Don't talk about you, I have never seen you grow up with His Majesty!"

"Even with the Eldest Prince Fusu, I have never met before!"

"The Second Young Master is not an ordinary person. Looking at this situation, His Majesty is very pleased!"

Li Si, who had a panoramic view of that scene, whispered to Meng Yi!

Only Zhao Gao, who was at the side, looked ugly and had mixed feelings in his heart!

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing that Ziqian ran away, Ying Zheng turned around and saw Meng Yi and Li Si muttering there!

"Your Majesty! I'm just curious, why doesn't Your Majesty recognize you?"

Discovered by Ying Zheng, Li Si stepped forward and said!

"I think so too, but look at him, he is so resistant to even being an official in the court, not to mention that there are many rules in the palace, first take him back to Xianyang, let's talk about it when there is a chance in the future! His identity will be kept secret first, Don't make any noise!"

Ying Zheng sighed and said, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes!

"Here!"...

"Girl girl! Are you at home?"

Ziqian came to Lin Qianqian's home!

"Ziqian is here! Qianqian, Ziqian is looking for you!"

I saw a woman coming out of the house!

"Aunt Lin!"

When Ziqian saw Lin's mother coming out, he hurriedly greeted him. Since childhood, Lin Qianqian's family has always helped Ziqian!

"Hey! Good boy!"

Mother Lin looked at Ziqian with a smile, feeling sorry for Ziqian from the bottom of her heart!

She has lived with the old man since she was a child, and without the love of her parents, she feels very distressed! ..

"Brother Ziqian!"

"Brother Ziqian!"

Hearing Ziqian coming, Lin Qianqian immediately ran out, followed by a twelve-year-old kid!

"Girl! Yo! Xiaofu, you have grown taller!"

Ziqian patted Lin Fu's head and said!

"That's right! I'm going to be taller than my sister!"

Lin Fu looks like a little adult!

"Stinky boy! You are still far behind!"

Lin Qianqian nodded Lin Fu's head and said!

"Hahaha!"

The bickering scene between the siblings made Ziqian laugh out loud!

"Brother Ziqian, don't laugh! Where are we going to play?"

"Brother Ziqian! Take me, I'm going too, you haven't taken me there for a long time!"

As soon as he said to play, Lin Fu hurriedly brought himself!

"You're such a grown man, why do you want to play all the time!"

Ziqian scratched Lin Qianqian's little Qiong's nose!

"Oh! I hate it! My mother is here!"

Lin Qianqian blushed from being teased by Ziqian, and rolled her eyes at Ziqian!

"Okay, okay! I won't tease you anymore! I came this time to take you to Xianyang!"

Ziqian said seriously!
