My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 170: Adding fuel to the flames (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"Go back."

Ying Zheng fell into thinking, and Zhang Han, Lin Xin, eunuch Ling, Shangshu Ling and other internal officials withdrew.

It's just that Ying Zheng's words were addressed to Zhang Han, Lin Xin and others.

Zhao Gao remained alone in the palace.

"Your Majesty, new paper has been made. The ink sealing technique proposed by the prince two years ago has already achieved results."

Zhao Gao said as he personally presented the new paper in the tray and a few lines of words engraved in ink to Ying Zheng.

The surface of each paper is smoother and the texture is getting better and better. In the past, some papers became soft immediately when they were slightly damp.Now these problems have not only been overcome, but grease has also been specially added to the paper to make it impossible for water to penetrate.

Qin's craftsmanship and technology were originally ahead of the other princely states in the world.

In eight years, these improvements are really not a shocking event.

It's just that despite the Qin royal family's efforts to keep it secret internally, everyone in the world has already heard of the existence of this thing.

Originally, silk books were the most precious and scarce materials for writing, but things are different now.

This legendary yellow paper, now boasted by the people, has become the most valuable writing material in the world.

Outsiders say that this was made by the prince of Qin when he was a boy, and dedicated to the government of the king of Qin.

So now in the world, only Ying Zheng uses such a thing.

Ying Zheng knew these things, but he did not refute them.

I just feel at ease using these fine papers alone.

Only this time, Ying Zheng didn't come to see the paper.

Fusu made paper and equipped it with ink printing technology in order to facilitate the spread of written books.

But now, the practical need to quickly disseminate Qin's legal documents was also placed in front of Ying Zheng.

Nowadays, the State of Qin has recruited many craftsmen to make bamboo slips almost day and night. At the same time, it has also recruited a large number of scholars to enter the house specially to copy the "Qin Code". "Qin Law" was transported to various counties and counties.

But there is simply not enough supply.

It takes at least three months to make a set of "Qin Code".

But Qin was able to capture ten cities within three months.

The Qin officials sent there also had to retrain the old local petty officials.

This led to the entire Qin State's quantitative requirements for "Qin Code" becoming higher and higher.

As an official legal book, the production of "Qin Code" cannot be careless.What's more, this is the Qin State, which has always advocated laws. These Qin officials have received strict education and regard laws as the norm.

No one in the entire Qin Kingdom wanted to see the shoddy and incomplete "Qin Code" document.

At this time, Fusu's past inventions and manufacturing showed their effect.

It's just that in the past, everyone didn't pay much attention to paper and ink carving technology. When they discovered that the production of bamboo slips and the excerpts of text were very slow, gradually, from Ying Zheng to the officials in the court, they all turned their attention to paper making. Engraved with techniques and ink.

Zhao Gao spread out a new piece of paper for Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng was not interested in reading it.

"I want to see the ink engraving."

Zhao Gao looked embarrassed, and explained to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the current ink carvings are based on the prince's wishes. They put the stone carving technology on the wooden board. They first carve the words on the wooden board, and then pour water on it. Ink, but because the technology is immature, it has failed hundreds of times.”

Ying Zheng would not do such things as understand his subordinates, "I want to see the results. I want to see the finished product. The officials of Shangdang County and Dai County have been urging them. They want the latest batch of Qin bamboo slips."

"We have sent troops to garrison the city under Wei Guo's new attack. Soon they will come to rush us." Zhao Gao had no choice but to hand the semi-finished product to Ying Zheng.

This ink engraving is to engrave words on it, but the effect of the engraving is a mess.

On the first piece of paper, the words were clearly visible, but the paper was also soaked in large areas of black.

Ying Zheng started to read Chapter 2. The paper on it was clean, but some of the engraved words lacked structure.

This is a Chinese character. A font is composed of multiple parts. If one part is missing, it will be misunderstood.

The purpose of simplifying text is to convey information accurately and reduce errors.

Such ink engraving cannot solve the problem at all.

The third picture was different. The words on it were so black that it was impossible to see what was written.

"Gao, is this what you have been busy with all these days? Do you know why I didn't leave this matter to Prime Minister Wei Zhuang?"

Zhao Gao knew that this was because Ying Zheng trusted him and was giving him a chance.

Only by making meritorious deeds can one be promoted legitimately.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. This is all my fault."

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and took care of everything by himself.

"I just asked you to build something. It took you two years to make something like this."

Zhao Gao lowered his head and did not dare to speak.He thought to himself, Your Majesty, you should try it and see how difficult it is.

Ying Zheng was also very helpless. He kept saying, "That's it. Then go search for a group of craftsmen from various places. You can go to Yuyang Palace and ask the prince how to solve this kind of thing."

Zhao Gao paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "Wei."

"How is Xiong Qi now?"

"He and the prince ignored each other. It is common for the prince to skip school, and when the tutor came, he never taught the prince a single lesson."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he actually smiled.

He actually dared to recruit helpers in front of me. He was worthy of being my eldest son.

"Tell me, what about Fu Subi's Li Xin?"

Zhao Gao's face turned pale, "The prince is your lord, and Li Xin is the king's beloved captain. I dare not talk about these two people."

"Gao, you're not usually very courageous. Why do you think you're so afraid of the prince now when I mention him?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. The prince has a special status, and I am just a villain. How dare you talk about the prince."

"I want you to tell me."

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng's expression, posture, and tone, and it was clear that he was concerned about the prince's expedition.

Then he just took advantage of this opportunity to accomplish this.

"Your Majesty, I personally think that although the Crown Prince is young, he has general knowledge, is tolerant of others, and has always had strategies, so he might as well join the war. However, I am worried that the Crown Prince, who is a thousand-year-old man, will be in danger when he goes out to fight."

Ying Zheng sounded impatient and stroked his beard.

"Tell me, who has a better chance of winning, Li Xin or General Fusu? From what I can see, their opinions on the attack on Chu are pretty much the same."

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "The prince has a military officer to teach him about military affairs. In the past, the king personally selected the masters for the prince from among the most famous scholars in the world. How many people were there to assist the prince. The prince's extraordinary talent shows that the king has great influence on the prince in the past. The prince’s cultivation has been fruitful.”
