The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 121 You are an emperor and don’t take money with you when you go out?
At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a state of panic, and his thoughts stayed on what Weining had just said.

The Han is certainly powerful militarily now, but after more than ten years of hard work, the balance of military strength with the Xiongnu has gradually begun to tilt towards the Han.

This is undoubtedly worthy of his emperor's pride and gratification.

But this was far from enough. His plan for his empire was far more than just military strength.

If the Han Dynasty can become powerful culturally, economically and socially, can he also try to get the title of Qin Shihuang's eternal emperor?

If, as Weining said, convenient and cheap paper can be produced, it will be a great addition to the dissemination of books and the reading of books by all social classes.

He thought for a long time, then squinted his eyes, looked at Wei Ning with bright eyes, and said, "Can you make it?"

Wei Ning was not humble at all. This was not a big deal to him.

He checked the system mall a few days ago, and there was information about the paper production process. It was not difficult.

Weining had never taken this matter to heart. It was only when he talked with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty today about the topic of cultural dissemination that he remembered it.

He never expected to use paper to make money or gain benefits.

Drinks and future station construction are enough for him to have a huge amount of wealth.

Weining nodded and said, "Okay, it's not difficult."

Isn't it...difficult?
You kid, you are so crazy!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Weining seriously and said: "Don't talk big words, this is a big deal."

Wei Ning said: "I'm not exaggerating. This is really not a difficult matter."

The progress of human science and technology lies in imagination. All unknown things start from imagination. Only with this foundation can we find ways to create them.

Take aircraft and cannons, for example. This kind of technology was difficult for people to imagine before 2000, let alone build it.

The same goes for paper.

In fact, the time from the beginning of feudal society to the present is not that long. From the Warring States Period to the present, it is only about 200 years.

In 200 years, it is not easy for human civilization to develop from the beginning of chaos, disorder, ethics, and imperfect moral laws to what it is now.

The development of economic handicrafts and various industries is extremely slow, and there are long-term wars and natural and man-made disasters. Human beings think about fighting for power, consolidating order, maintaining national stability, and then having enough to eat, and finally thinking about developing science and technology.

Paper has not yet come out. It is not because our intelligence is low, but because we have been fighting for food, clothing and war for a long time and have no time to think about these things.

What Weining is doing now is just to push human civilization a small step forward, and it has nothing to do with his own gains and losses.

There is no greatness or holiness. It is just doing an ordinary and small thing within its power.

"Give me some time."

Wei Ning said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "When the paper is produced, I will tell your majesty the method."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted: "Okay! I will allocate [-] gold to you first for all the early experiments. If the funds are not enough, you can tell me."

Let's talk. He took out a token from his arms and said to Wei Ning: "With this token, you can enter and leave the offices of Weiyang Palace at will."

"All the craftsmen of Zongzheng Da Nong are at your disposal. I will inform Zong Zheng Da Nong to order Lu Chongguo."

"If this paper can really be made, I will order the historian to add a stroke of ink to your history book!"

To be remembered by future generations and be admired by future generations is what many people dream of!
Wei Ning smiled and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "Okay!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked extremely excited. Once this matter is implemented, it will add a great achievement to his rule!
This is something that many emperors can only ask for!
He was also very strange, wondering why Wei Ning had these things.

But he suppressed this curiosity deep in his heart.

Perhaps this is the quality that a proud man of heaven should have. For example, Dayu controlled the floods and used the sea-fixing needle to stabilize the East China Sea. Throughout history, sages have their own mysterious color, otherwise how can they be distinguished by future generations?

As my son, Weining is a person chosen by God. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can accept any ability that is beyond ordinary people!

In this society where ideas are not perfect yet and feudal superstition is extremely serious, people generally believe in the theory of gods and ghosts. Anything that Weining shows that is beyond ordinary people can be accepted and understood by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"You can go out with me for a walk tomorrow." Wei Ning: "Huh? Why? Where are you going?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "There are so many reasons. It's the end of the year now. The old cow should take a rest after being tired for a year. It's time for me to take a rest."

"There is no purpose, just to go out and see how the people are doing."

Wei Ning snorted and said, "Then why don't you let Huo Qubing accompany your majesty?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Why do you talk so much nonsense? You don't usually talk so much."

Wei Ning: "..."

"gone."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and gestured to leave.

Wei Ning: "Hey... Your Majesty hasn't packed it up for me yet. There are still so many books."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "..."

unacceptable!I'm not your slave, let your own slaves take care of it!

Emperor Wu of Han cursed and left the Wei Mansion.

……

A sleepless night and an early morning break.

Wei Ning got up early and planned to have breakfast at the mansion, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came wearing regular clothes.

"Go out and eat something."

Wei Ning said "oh" and followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty out of the Wei Mansion. The surrounding area was relatively remote. After walking for a while, he saw a noodle shop spreading out.

Wei Ning thought for a while and said, "Or, just eat here?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Okay."

Guanzhong people love to eat noodles. Nowadays, the food of the big man is not rich. If you can eat enough, you have to thank God, let alone improve the taste.

However, there are some good restaurants in Chang'an, most of which cater to the rich and powerful, and ordinary people would not eat there.It's just that it's far away from the bustling streets.

To put it simply, noodle soup is a clear soup with some noodles in it. The stall owner is an old man in his fifties or sixties, and there are not many people around the stall.

To be honest, the noodles are not very tasty, and they don't provide any condiments such as vinegar, but Weining is used to it and has been eating this way in Qianshui Village for more than ten years.

But he was afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not be used to it.

But he underestimated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was slurping noodles in big mouths and looked very bold when eating.

At this time, he didn't look like an emperor, because he was very different from the emperor in Weining's impression. He felt that the emperor should be putting on airs, and how could he be so voracious as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked up at Wei Ning: "What are you looking at? Don't be so slow about eating. Just fill your stomach."

Wei Ning: "Oh."

After breakfast, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Wei Ning: "Go and pay."

Wei Ning: "Didn't you ask me to come out? You go and pay."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "How can I have money?"

Wei Ning: "Me neither!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "..."

Wei Ning: "..."
