Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 231 Li Si helps to promote the paper (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

In 24 BC, Qin Shihuang was 37 years old and Qin Wangzheng was [-] years old.

The bright spring sun shines brightly on the vast land, and everything begins another round of recovery. The grass and trees are getting green, and the greenery is floating hazily on the willow tops.

The Wei River is like a silver stream, surrounding Xianyang City and clanking in the mountain streams.

When the magpies in Huayang Palace gathered on the branches, Fusu's second son was born.

The second and third young masters also got married and moved out of Xianyang Palace.Watching his children blossom and flourish was naturally something that made Ying Zheng extremely happy.

Even though there were two prime ministers and Fusu helping him handle government affairs, Ying Zheng still criticized as many as 120 kilograms of memorials every day.

------

Dazheng Hall, court meeting.

As a court captain, Meng Yi acted in accordance with the law and acted in accordance with the law, which made him more and more favored by Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng became the emperor, he became even more energetic.

Regarding government affairs, instead of waning, enthusiasm suddenly increased.

Everything must be done by myself, and I will never rest until I finish handling those government affairs every day.

Long-term overwork is naturally very harmful to the body.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne with two panda eyes, his fatigue was obvious.

Meng Yi stepped forward:

"Your Majesty, in Yueyang Prison today, Cheng Miao, the guilty minister, created a new character according to the seal script of our Qin Dynasty and named it Official Script. The font is simple, I thought it was strange and could be used, so I presented it to Your Majesty for your Majesty's review."

After saying that, Meng Yi presented a scroll of bamboo slips in his arms.

official script——

Fusu's heart skipped a beat.

The paper he made cannot be piled up in the warehouse in vain. According to Shen Yu, rats love paper very much.

Ying Zheng unfolded the bamboo slips.

Official script fonts are attached to the lower left side of the Qin seal script.

Ying Zheng saw that the official script was indeed simple and clear.

"good."

Ting Wei asked again.

"Now that your majesty unifies writing, it is better to use the official script as the writing style for official documents, and the Qin seal script as the style for your majesty's edicts."

"That's it."

Ying Zheng suddenly said again.

"You just said that it was Cheng Miao, the guilty minister, who wrote this official script."

"Exactly."

Cheng Miao, Ying Zheng remembers him.

He was imprisoned at the beginning because he offended me by his words.

Unexpectedly, he actually wrote official script in prison.

Ying Zheng said again.

"Cheng Miao has meritorious service, and I have decided to pardon his sins."

The words "lawless and unfounded" flashed through Meng Yi's mind, but soon, he dared not say a word.

"only."

Fusu was like an outsider, watching the imperial power that overriding everything else.

Fu Su paused, it was time for him to speak.

Qin's official system is not yet mature, and there are still more generals than civil servants.

The authority system is even more unclear.

Fusu was in charge of grain, money and other materials, but Zuo Xiang Wei Zhuang had been in charge of the twenty-year governor of millet before he became the prime minister.

Because of his age and experience, even if Fusu was proficient in calculations, Wei Zhuang was the one who really managed food and money.

Fusu has always wanted to make a move on business.

But he would have to wait.

At least he had to wait until he reached adulthood, so Fusu acquiesced to Zuo Xiang's help in working for him, and then he felt at ease and became a nominal governor of Su Neishi.

Precisely because Fusu had a lot of free time and Qin's official system was not perfect yet, Fusu wanted to take advantage of the loophole and took over the task of promoting official script throughout the country from Ying Zheng.

Fusu had no choice but to propose the technology of promoting paper again so that writing could spread faster and people all over the world could read official script.

However, in the past, it seemed that multiple people were responsible for the matter of being in charge of culture and education.Simply put, there is no fixed person in charge.

In the Qin State, education was only provided to the nobility, and of course it was also used to cultivate talents for the bureaucratic class.The Qin State has never promoted culture. All they want is tangible benefits.

But now, Li Si is a Taixue Jijiu. Although the rank of this position is lower than that of a doctor in name, he is indeed in charge of the affairs of the world's literati, and is also responsible for the education of the nobles.

Once the supervision of the Imperial College is completed, the children of the nobles can enroll.

But Fusu hasn't figured out how to speak yet, because last time, he made Ying Zheng angry because he suggested that Ying Zheng promote paper across the country.

Li Si stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince once made paper, which is easy and convenient. If we can combine this official script with the paper made by Your Highness, the unification of the characters will be extremely fast."

Wang Wan stood quietly.

The prince made paper, which was widely known.

It is said that one day, white things suddenly flew out of Huayang Palace. A minister passed by and picked up the paper and took it home. He found that he could write on the paper.

So such a strange thing spread in Xianyang Palace.

But how this little thing is made is unknown to everyone.

But the paper made by the prince did arouse the joy of the people of Xianyang.

The prince is talented and values ​​people's livelihood. He has an excellent reputation and high prestige among the people.

However, it was only afterwards that the servants of Huayang Palace explained the whole story.

It turns out that the prince made the paper, and His Majesty was willing to use it.

But the prince couldn't bear to destroy it, so he had to backlog it in the warehouse.

It was the time when the ground was warm in spring, and strong winds came again, so the prince wanted to dry the paper, but unexpectedly, the wind was so strong that all the papers were blown away.

This new thing was a rarity in Xianyang City, and everyone wanted to have a look.

Rumor has it that this thing looks like Ye Feiye. Although Wang Wan himself is the prime minister and the father-in-law of Fusu, he has never seen this thing.

The prince's paper-making was well-known to the common people; however, the prince's paper-making was criticized and paper was classified as a forbidden item, so few people heard about it.

This Li Si, with his many years of experience as an official, he should be able to judge from the rumors that His Majesty allowed this rumor to spread.

However, he openly proposed to recommend this thing in the court.

His heart is unpredictable.

Li Si's speech also made Fusu feel disturbed.

Ying Zheng asked:

"How did you know that Fusu once made paper?"

Li Sibi answered respectfully:

"People in Xianyang, everyone can hear it."

Soon, a servant came to Ying Zheng's ear and told him about it.

Ying Zheng suddenly realized that it was just an accident.

When Ying Zheng first heard Li Si's suggestion, he thought it was Fusu asking Li Si to speak for him.

That's it!

Ying Zheng had seen and used this paper before, and it was indeed easier to carry than bamboo paper.

Since this thing is beneficial to our great cause of unification, I naturally want to allow it.

As for the common people, their stupidity has been in their bones since ancient times.Even if they get this thing, they can only recognize a few words.

It is enough if you can understand my edict.

"good."

Ying Zheng finally agreed happily.

"Fusu, since you made this paper, it is up to you to promote it in all counties and counties. We must make the people of the world familiar with official script as soon as possible. In this way, we will be the only literary education in the world."

"only."

Let’s discuss this matter.

Li Si, who was in charge of culture and education, made another comment.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I still have something to discuss."

Li Si is indeed talented enough to think of this.It also shows that he is thinking day and night about how to help consolidate my empire.

　Notice: Regarding the Chunyu Yue section in the first volume, I will revise it after the holiday. It’s too embarrassing.
