I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

The size of that book is different from all the ones in his impression. Strictly speaking, it is a little smaller than octavo and a little bigger than sixteen. Anyway, the size is quite arbitrary, and there is no cover yet.

If Han Yi did it, it definitely wouldn't look like this, but you don't have to guess whose handwriting it is.

Thinking of the ball of paper that hit him just now, Han Yi felt a little dumbfounded.

Yan Zheng probably knew what Yan Zijian and Jiang Buwei were doing, and he didn't know how he let King Qin read this book.

But since Yan Zheng has lied for him, he has to cooperate no matter what.

So Han Yi said: "This book is just a trial, and the king laughed."

The King of Qin flipped through the book and said, "What is this thing that looks like silk but is not silk?"

Han Yi said: "Paper, I made it by accident before, and found that it is lighter than bamboo slips and more economical than silk."

The king of Qin seemed to be very interested in saving, so he asked, "How about saving money?"

Han Yi asked back, "Your Majesty, do you know where this thing is made?"

Qin Wang pinched the paper, looked carefully at the blank space and said, "I can't tell the difference, but it doesn't seem to be fabric."

Han Yi smiled: "Bark."

King Qin was slightly taken aback: "What?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "You heard me right, this thing is made of bark and other things."

Queen Qin was also a little curious: "The bark... how to make it so white?"

Han Yi explained: "It requires many processes, one of which is cooking."

King Qin put down the paper and said: "If this thing is popularized, it will surely attract scholars all over the world to imitate it, and Qin will attract more talents."

King Qin coughed suddenly while he was talking, he sighed and said: "I just hope that I can live a few more days, so that Qin State can be stronger."

Queen Qin patted his back with slightly red eyes: "Your Majesty! You just feel cold occasionally, why do you say such frustrating words?"

King Qin held Queen Qin's hand and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it."

Han Yi was caught off guard and was fed a mouthful of dog food, but he just wanted to sigh.

Wind and cold are the diseases that can really kill people these days.

After all, an accidental wind and cold will cause pneumonia, and getting pneumonia in this era means death, and it is a disease that cannot be cured at all.

Han Yi sat there silently, not intending to see a doctor for King Qin.

Of course, he would not be able to let him see it. If he tried hard to recall things like medicines, he might be able to recall the ingredients of some common medicines.

For example, sulfonamides are found in red dyes.

However, the problem is that the red dye of this year may be completely different from that of later generations.

The King of Qin put down the book and asked, "Can Young Master Yi still forge the supreme weapon?"

Han Yi was refreshed, knowing that for King Qin, paper was just icing on the cake, what he really needed was a powerful weapon.

Han Yi smiled slightly and said: "When I told King Zhao, I actually exaggerated the pig iron. The weapons it casts are far from the supreme weapon!"

King Qin couldn't help leaning forward when he heard this: "Could it be that Young Master Yi has other artifacts for casting?"

Han Yi thought for a while and said: "The king of the boastful generation must have seen a lot. I used to boast to King Zhao that it was a supreme weapon, and now I tell the king that there is another sharper weapon. Your Majesty will also have doubts, to tell you the truth, I have asked someone to buy land and prepare to build another kiln, when the sharp weapon is produced, it will be the time for me to prove it to the King."

The King of Qin clapped the table and said: "Young Master Yi speaks quickly and is really different. Even if Young Master Yi didn't come up with a sharper weapon, this thing alone can't make Young Master Yi and the post house feel wronged."

As soon as Han Yi heard it, he knew that he was going to give him a house. Giving a house and land is the most common method used by the monarch to win over talents these days.

As for the official position... It depends on your own ability. If you have the ability, you can get a higher official position. If you don't have the ability... the house and land are probably all you can get.

If there is really that kind of hype that he talks about, he turns out to be an idiot, and he can't keep his house and land.

Han Yi really needed a place to stay, and the mansion given by the king of Qin himself could somewhat deter Xiaoxiao, so he didn't refuse, but thanked the king of Qin for the reward, and said: "The formula of paper is not complicated, it just needs a lot of paper. It is good to use state-owned resources to do it, but Yi thinks the best way is to authorize the big merchants. Based on the funds of the big merchants, the state collects authorization fees and taxes from the merchants. If the merchants refuse to pay, then they are prohibited. He makes paper."

The king of Qin was also a little worried about promotion. The benefits of paper are obvious. Nowadays, those who are poorer use bamboo and wood to engrave characters on official documents, and those who are rich can directly write on silk.

The king of Qin really has everything on the list of government affairs. Every time the king of Qin has to worry, if paper is popularized, it will save a lot of worry.

But the question is how to popularize it?

The country's treasury is not too full after years of fighting wars, not to mention that even if it is full of money, it will be more inclined to make weapons and armor.

The current state of Qin is far from reaching the point where it needs to develop at the cultural level.

Therefore, King Qin was also very worried, but Han Yi's proposal made his eyes shine. Taxes are not unusual. When the treasury is empty, more taxes will always be set up to ensure the revenue of the treasury.

What interested him was the so-called licensing fee.

Therefore, King Qin asked, "What is the authorization fee?"

Han Yi said: "It is the fee that the imperial court authorized the merchants to make this thing. If you don't pay this money, you can't make it. Not only paper, but also some other important people's livelihood products can be done in this way."

The King of Qin struggled and asked: "But... once the formula is handed over to the merchants, what can they do if they don't pay the authorization fee in the future?"

Han Yi was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then realized that this era is not the era of strict rule of law in later generations.

So if you want to guarantee the interests of the court, you need more constraints.

Fortunately, Qin's current legal system can be regarded as the strictest among the Seven Kingdoms, and it can even be regarded as strict, so Han Yi dared to pay more attention to it.

Such as formula confidentiality and the like.

Qin Wang was a little confused: "Since it is authorized, how can it be kept secret?"

Han Yi is very mean-spirited: "It's too easy to keep secrets. Take away the most critical parts, and then the court will build kilns for processing and production, and let merchants buy key items and go back for secondary processing to finally get finished products. Isn't that all right? Yet?"

The King of Qin was shocked and said: "Can it be like this?"

Han Yi thought about it for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It must be possible. Anyway, there is no such thing as human rights these days.

King Qin couldn't help but asked again: "What if the merchants refuse?"

"If you don't agree, don't do it. If the king is worried that no one will be willing, then you can monopolize the first person who is willing to try for a period of time, and let him earn back the authorized money. He will naturally be willing. Oh, yes, this authorization The fee is not a one-time fee, you have to pay a little every year, so that you can have a certain amount of income every year, isn’t it great?”

The King of Qin was a little dazed when he heard this, and quickly said: "Wait a minute, come and invite the Prime Minister and Daliang Zao."

Han Yi raised his eyebrows, all the prime ministers were invited, and there was also a powerful Da Liangzao who seemed to be discussing important matters.

However, being able to make money is indeed very important to the current state of Qin.

Queen Qin was quite knowledgeable and interesting. After hearing what King Qin said, she immediately got up and said, "The king has something important to discuss, so I will go back first."

King Qin held Queen Qin's hand affectionately and said, "I will accompany you later."

Queen Qin said softly: "State affairs are important, please don't be distracted, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Queen Qin smiled at Han Yi, and Han Yi had no choice but to get up from the ground and watch the queen go away.

King Qin was very satisfied after seeing it and said: "Young Master Yi is not only outstanding in his elegant words, but also abides by etiquette. He really looks like a famous minister."

Han Yi said in his heart that because you value your wife so much, I have to show corresponding respect.

What's more, this queen mother will be the queen mother in the future. Now Han Yi hopes that the queen mother can live longer, and it is best to suppress Zhao Ji, or find a way to prevent Yan Zijian from taking Zhao Ji back.

Of course, Han Yi is more entangled in the latter option. Anyway, Zhao Ji is Yan Zheng's mother, and it seems inappropriate for Yan Zheng to ignore Zhao Ji.

No matter what Zhao Ji does in the future, but at the moment...uh, apart from ignoring Yan Zheng at a dangerous moment, there is no other extraordinary thing.

Of course, this incident made Han Yi feel a little unbearable, but in this era... Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Not long after, the prime minister and Daliang Zao were invited to the hall.

The prime minister looked about the same age as King Qin, between middle age and old age, not yet old, the vertical lines on his forehead were obvious, and he looked like he was frowning for a long time.

Daliang Zao is younger, with bright eyes, and his face is like a person with a flexible mind.

After the two saluted King Qin, Han Yi also nodded slightly to them. Anyway, he is not an official official of Qin State now, so he doesn't need to be too polite to them.

After the prime minister sat down with Daliang Zao, King Qin repeated Han Yi's idea just now.

However, there may be many things he doesn't understand, and the meaning of the retelling is far from Han Yi's original meaning.

Han Yi met the eyes of the Prime Minister and Daliang Zao, and always felt that these two might regard him as mentally retarded, or that they had the audacity to come to fool the King of Qin.

He pinched his thigh and tried his best not to interrupt King Qin's speech, for fear that he would be fired by King Qin before he took office.

Finally, after King Qin finished speaking, he turned to Han Yi and asked, "Are there any omissions in what the widow said?"

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "Basically correct, but Yi still wants to add something."

Then he repeated the key points that King Qin had neglected to say wrongly.

The prime minister's expression looked ordinary, but Daliang Zao's eyes became brighter and brighter. He was originally sitting opposite Han Yi, but after Han Yi was halfway through speaking, he even ran to Han Yi's side in a flash, his face suddenly enlightened expression.

Han Yi was made a little hairy by him, resisted the urge to run away, focused on looking at the prime minister and King Qin, and said after finishing speaking: "This is roughly the case, but I am small and weak, and there may be imperfections. Please give me your advice, Your Majesty and the two seniors."

Before the prime minister could speak, Daliang Zao slapped his thigh and said, "Where is it not perfect? ​​I think it's very good, Your Majesty, this method is not only for that...it can be used on paper, and it can be used for other things as well." Use it!"

The king of Qin looked at the prime minister, and the prime minister thought over and over again and said: "I have never noticed anything wrong."

Qin Wang smiled and said: "Young Master Yi has relieved my worries as soon as he came, but a house may not be enough."

Daliang Zao at the side immediately said: "Talents are rare, and Young Master Yi can be an official."

The King of Qin asked, "Why an official?"

He was asking the prime minister, after all, the prime minister is in charge of this.

However, the prime minister still didn't speak, so Daliang grabbed Han Yi's wrist and said, "Young Master Yi has a lot of experience in finance, and he can help Shaoliang!"

Han Yi:? ? ? ? ?
