Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

At the same time, he was also very curious about what Bei Chen's method would be.

Although he has always thought that the other party is a person full of wisdom and creativity, what is needed to solve this problem is real materials, which cannot be solved with one or two clever tricks.

Beichen looked at the other party and smiled, then took out a thin, yellowish-looking thing from his cuff...

.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ying Zheng looked at the thin and somewhat yellowed thing in the opponent's hand, and asked with some doubts, "What is this?"

Hearing this, Beichen didn't answer directly, but handed the things in his hands to the other party, saying, "This is the solution to the problem, Your Majesty can take a look."

Ying Zheng reached out to take it, and stroked it lightly with his fingers. It was a little rough, and you could still vaguely see the debris of plants and trees stuck to it.

Ying Zheng had an idea and asked, "Could it be that you want to use this thing to replace the bamboo slips?"

Bei Chen nodded, "That's right, this is the substitute I made, Your Majesty can try it."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect the other party to come up with such a thing.

But you'll have to try it out to know if it works.

"Come here, bring a pen and ink."

Ying Zheng gave an order, and then a waiter took away the chessboard on the table, and put the good pen and ink beside the former.

Ying Zheng picked up the pen, opened it and tried to write on it.

Originally, he just had the idea of ​​giving it a try, but when he wrote it, he was a little shocked.

The characters are displayed very clearly, the handwriting is also very beautiful, and the user experience is quite good, much more comfortable than writing on bamboo slips and brocade silk.

Then he continued to write a few words on it, and he still felt good.

After a few breaths, Yingzheng put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Beichen who was facing him, and said, "I really don't understand how you, a Taoist, can have such a high achievement in making strange things, you can be compared to the Mohists." With Gongshu's family."

Beichen had donated saddles and other items when attacking Chu, and now he has created such an excellent writing utensil, which is really unexpected.

When Bei Chen heard this, he just smiled but didn't explain much, and then asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied with this thing?"

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, "The writing is smooth and clear, and it's better than the bamboo slips. The most rare thing is that it's so light and thin, so it's very convenient to carry."

Speaking of this, he asked, "What is this thing, is it famous?"

Beichen said, "I made this thing unintentionally, because it is made of straw and other materials, so I call it straw paper."

"toilet paper……"

Ying Zheng muttered to himself, and then said, "This thing is quite ingenious and extremely useful, so it's too random to name it straw paper."

Hearing this, Bei Chen also understood what the other party meant, and then said, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. If Your Majesty is interested, you might as well choose a new name for him."

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Let's keep the name Straw Paper. If you don't mind, I would like to call it another name."

"Your Majesty will do as you please."

Bei Chen replied.

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "In the past, people were talking about written records, bamboo slips, animal skins, brocade silk, etc., but now that the Great Qin Dynasty has been established, such strange things have appeared."

"According to my opinion, why not call it Qin Zhi, what do you think?"

Hearing the question, Beichen didn't have any objection, and replied concisely, "It's pretty good."

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard the words, and looked at the yellowed paper again, full of joy in his heart, then picked up the pen again, and couldn't help but write a few words.

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked again, "What is the cost of this Qin paper?"

In his opinion, the price of such an exquisite object should not be very low, but as long as it is not much higher than the price of the bamboo slips, there is hope for large-scale production.

Hearing this, Bei Chen thought for a while, and then replied, "One gold can probably make tens of thousands of pieces."

Hearing the answer, Ying Zheng was slightly startled, and quickly asked, "Is it really so cheap?"

Beichen nodded and said, "Indeed."

In fact, the conclusion he drew was a conservative estimate, and it was a conclusion after adding labor and other costs into it.

If we only calculate the price of raw materials, then one gold can produce far more than [-] sheets of paper.

Ying Zheng was a little excited, he didn't expect this thing to be so cheap.

As the king of a country, he has always looked at problems from a broad perspective.

The reason why there are so few readers now is largely due to the inability to spread quickly.

Brocade and silk were too expensive to be used on a large scale, while bamboo slips were too bulky, and there were very few words that could be recorded.

I don't know how much money I will spend if I want to be rich in learning.Ordinary people simply cannot afford books.

And Qin paper is so convenient to write, it can be carried around, and the cost is low.If it can be implemented nationwide, the benefits will be immeasurable.

Whether it is for writing on it or as a tool for transcribing and recording articles, it is very convenient.

It not only facilitates writing and writing, but also promotes the spread of culture.

The current state of Qin needs to implement writing and laws, and with the help of Qin Zhi, it must go much smoother.
