Chapter 33 Papermaking

That night, Zhao Jun slowly fell asleep amid Qingliu's excited inquiries.

The next day, Qingliu had to go to the East Second Office to say hello, where she still had a few acquaintances.

And Zhao Jun quietly got the book passed to her by the old man in the room.

Ancient papermaking techniques, papermaking guides, simple papermaking techniques, and more.

She also asks for river farming, practical books and a timeless postpartum care book for sows.

Zhao Jun was so excited that he quickly picked up the book on papermaking technology and read it.

Zhao Jun has a more detailed understanding after a rough reading.

It is similar to her impression, they all need to be dried with bark, sackcloth, etc. and retting in water. The more important thing is manpower and the control of details.

It is always shallow on paper, and she knows that a lot of experiments are needed from reading a book to making a finished product.

After Zhao Jun read it for a while, he temporarily put away the book and stuffed it under the bed where it is not easy to find.

It was still necessary to discuss this matter with Ying Zheng first, and she came to the front hall shortly afterwards.

Ying Zheng was looking at the bamboo slips on the table as always.

Zhao Jun walked in, glanced at the bamboo slips piled on the ground and shook his head, you will be laid off soon, she thought to herself.

"What are you looking at?" Ying Zheng didn't look up, but he noticed her eyes from the corner of his eye.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty. In the past few days, I have thoroughly cleaned up the Neishi Mansion, including the shares of various departments in the DPRK. I have also found out a few people with loopholes, and they have been fined for minor mistakes. .”

Zhao Jun first told her about the exhausting things she had done a few days ago.

Among the officials she found to be problematic was Zhou Qingchen, who was the most yelling at the court that day. He used his power for personal gain to make his brother-in-law embezzle some money. Although it was not a lot, Mr. Zhao fined him well.

"Well, you are in charge of such trivial matters." Ying Zheng said extraordinarily generously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I have one more important thing to report today."

Zhao Jun made a fool of himself and blinked at Ying Zheng excitedly.

"What's wrong with your eyes, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at her blinking eyes and asked suspiciously.

Zhao Jun's smile froze, as expected of you Yingzheng.

"It's like this. Didn't I mention papermaking to you before? It just so happens that I don't feel busy now, so this matter can be put on the agenda."

Being choked by Ying Zheng like this, her excited mood suddenly fell down, and she said in a neutral tone with her pursed mouth.

Unexpectedly, it was Ying Zheng's turn to be excited.

"Really? Papermaking, right? The widow wanted to ask you a long time ago." He stood up excitedly.

"You said that thing is called paper, can it be more convenient to write on?" Ying Zheng began to ask follow-up questions.

Zhao Jun's enthusiasm had just been extinguished by him, but now he regained it because of his excited appearance.

"Yes, this kind of thing is called paper. It can be made into a thin sheet. You only need to write ink on the paper. It is very convenient for writing, and it is also more convenient for storage."

Zhao Jun briefly described the shape and function of the paper.

Ying Zheng's excited eyes were about to light up, but his face was still calm.

"Okay! If this kind of cheap and easy-to-use paper can really be made, I don't think anyone will dare to say that Daqin has no cultural background!" Ying Zheng said sharply.

This is also the problem that Qin has been attacked and criticized for a long time.

A reckless man who has no culture and only knows how to fight.

If this kind of thing can really be made, it can severely slap other countries in the face. Ying Zheng is very happy.

"Okay, if you can research this kind of thing, then you can get whatever you want, and the widow will agree to you."

Ying Zheng waved his hand happily and made the promise.

"Thank you, my lord, let's talk about it after I research it."

Seeing his happy look, Zhao Jun couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling.

"Then the next focus is to study papermaking, which may require the help of the Mo family." Zhao Jun thought for a while and said.

This kind of technical production feels that the Mo family is the best. You can find the Mo family to experiment with the production first, and then mass-produce it after success.

"Okay, you can go directly to Juzi, and I will let him assist you with full authority."

Ying Zheng returned to his seat and touched the heavy bamboo slips in his hands. Sooner or later, you will be replaced.

"Okay, thank you lord, then I'll go to Juzi first."

Zhao Jun didn't stay with him for too long, he was ready to go out after finishing his important matters.

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped her.

"Wait, didn't you ask Sun Cheng two days ago to arrange a new place for you to live in? After thinking about it, it is inconvenient for you to often go to and from the palace and live outside the city, so I asked Sun Cheng to arrange for you in the next six months." National palace, you can choose a place to live in when the time comes."

When Zhao Jun turned around and heard that Ying Zheng was going to arrange a palace for her, it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have a small matter that he hadn't told Ying Zheng.

"Thank you, my lord, I can live anywhere. By the way, my lord, I just forgot to mention a little thing."

Zhao Jun came back again, smirked twice and said in a low voice.

"I think it's not bad to have a maid in the palace, so let her follow me as my assistant to help me handle affairs. That's okay, right?"

If Ying Zheng hadn't mentioned the residence, she would have almost forgotten about it.

Although he had a premonition that Ying Zheng would not have any opinions, but thinking of Feng Quan and his group, he still had to make a clear path with Ying Zheng.

"What's the problem?"

Ying Zheng looked up at her and asked back.

Seeing his puzzled eyes, Zhao Jun suddenly couldn't help chuckling.

Needless to say, I really like this attitude.

"No, then I'll go first."

Zhao Jun walked out bouncingly, his back was full of joy.

Ying Zheng looked at the extremely happy man and felt puzzled.

Could it be that he was so happy to give her a new residence?
Sun Cheng, who was waiting outside, saw Zhao Jun coming out, and he also went up to tell her about the new residence.

"Yes, Your Majesty told you that it is the Palace of the Six Kingdoms not far behind. Which one do you want to live in? I'll have someone take you to see it later." Sun Cheng asked.

"It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you have a little privacy." Zhao Jun doesn't have too many requirements for the residence, as long as it is a single room with privacy.

"By the way, I told the king that it was Qingliu who was in the same room as me. I asked her to come over as my assistant. I won't go to see it later. You can ask her to go and have a look. Let her be in the room." There is also a room next to me." Zhao Jun ordered.

"Okay, Qingliu, right? I'll ask someone to have a look at her later." Sun Cheng sent Zhao Jun away with a smile.

Qingliu, he recalled it for a moment, it seemed that he was an errand in the East Second Office, but now Master Zhao actually took a fancy to him, the fate of the future would be nothing small, Sun Cheng shook his head and walked back.

After Zhao Jun left the front hall, he went straight to the Mohist workshop.

After a while, she walked to the gate of the workshop.

Looking at the sign of Mojia Workshop on her head, she was only making a small plow when she came last time.

And today we will start to study one of the four unparalleled inventions in the world!
