Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Buwei looked at the silk cloth in his hand with a gloomy face. It recorded what Zhao Jia did after entering Qin, including when he went to bed, who he came into contact with, what he said, etc., everything was recorded in the record, as if someone had completely recorded it. Watching 24 hours a day.
However, compared to the trivial matters recorded above, what Zhao Jia ordered the two guards to do made his eyes narrow slightly.
Could it be that this kid really made something up... Lu Buwei's eyes flashed with hesitation. If the other party really makes something that can replace the bamboo slips, then Zhao Jiake will really be famous all over the world, especially those from Confucianism. , will definitely regard Zhao Jia as a guest.
For Confucians, the biggest factor that hinders them from educating the world is the carrier of knowledge.
The bamboo slips are too heavy and inconvenient to carry.
As for silk cloth, it was too expensive and not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, the spread of knowledge was mostly a matter for the upper class and was not accessible to people at the bottom.
Once something can be produced to replace the bamboo slips, its significance will be long-term.
"I have underestimated this young master from the Kingdom of Zhao."
Lu Buwei put the information in his hand on the desk, the gloomy expression on his face subsided, and he whispered.
Who would have thought that a deposed prince of the Zhao State who had just entered the Qin Dynasty could cause such a big thing, and even affect his plans for the Zhao State's war. Not only that, Ying Zheng even took this opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with him, and that Lord Changping, what does he mean? Do you want to be his enemy?
As Ying Zheng gradually grew up, the Qin State gradually began to have undercurrents, and everyone felt that Lu Buwei was beginning to decline.
The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by the dog.
What's more, it's an aging tiger.
A pack of wolves were waiting around, everyone wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him.
He now seems to have all the power, but in fact he makes one wrong move, and the future is doomed.
Age is always the biggest asset. Compared with his prime minister, the young emperor is obviously more attractive.
"Master Xiangguo, do you need me to deal with him?"
A low voice sounded from a corner.
I saw in the corner of the study room an officer wearing Qin army black armor. Half of his body was buried in the shadows, while the other half was exposed. One eye was looking at Lu Buwei in front of him.
"It's just a proton. You don't need to do anything. Compared to this matter, have you ever found the person I asked you to look for?"
Lu Buwei glanced sideways at the soldiers behind him and said calmly.
Compared with Zhao Jia, comforting Zhao Ji is what he needs to consider more at the moment. He is old and frail, and his energy has long been lost. How can he withstand the Queen Mother Zhao Ji who is in the age of tiger and wolf.
What's more.
At his age, beautiful women have long been meaningless. Otherwise, with his current status, what kind of woman would he not be able to find?
Compared to these.
How to continue his power is what he needs to consider.
As Ying Zheng grows older, his desire to control power becomes stronger and stronger. Lu Buwei has to think about the future, and Zhao Ji is the problem he must solve now.
The black-armored soldier's eyes flickered and he whispered, "Does the Prime Minister still remember Lao Ai?"
"Lao Ai?"
Lu Buwei's expression paused, and a figure appeared in his mind. He had received help from this person when he entered Qin from Zhao State. He couldn't help but ask: "What does it have to do with him?"
"Master Xiangguo doesn't know something. Lao Ai is a man with extraordinary talents. His lower Yin can hold a wheel and walk."
"?!"
Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly, he was a little shocked.
. . . . . . . . . .
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
The first batch of paper was also released smoothly. The paper was rough, dark yellow in color, and even a little uneven. But as it appeared, Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he knew that there would be no accident, after all, When it comes to my own life, I will inevitably feel a little uneasy until the day I succeed.
"Is this the paper you are talking about?"
Chang'an Jun Chengyu had received the news a long time ago, and now he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, facing the sun, and began to observe.
"The finished product is a little rough. After a few improvements, the surface will be smoother and the color will be whiter."
Zhao Jia stood beside Cheng Yu and explained softly.
In order to rush for time, he shortened some processes, and the finished product was naturally not as good-looking as the complete product. However, for this era, the emergence of paper is undoubtedly a cross-generational thing, and it can change many things, such as the transmission of messages.
Cheng Yu didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and waved to the attendant. The other party handed over the prepared pen and ink. He picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink and started writing on the paper.
Soon a line of small words appeared on the paper.
"You really did it!"
When Cheng Yu saw this scene, his face showed a hint of joy and he couldn't help but laugh.
In the past half month, the Qin Dynasty's court meeting has been quite lively. Lu Buwei insisted on sending troops, but Cheng Yu and Changping Jun objected. In addition, Ying Zheng deliberately indulged himself, and the issue of sending troops to attack Zhao was delayed again and again. To this day, if If Zhao Jia can't bring out the real thing, then the fun will be great.
"Good luck, I lived up to the expectations of King Qin and Lord Chang'an."
Zhao Jia smiled and said in an extremely humble and low-key manner.
Cheng Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Zhao Jia, "With this thing, Lu Xiangguo will have nothing to say, but this thing will at most delay the Qin State from sending troops to attack Zhao. If you really want Qin to For the two countries to reconcile, more valuable things need to be produced.”
"The conflict between the two countries cannot be changed by me alone. What's more, I don't have much to offer now. I really can't offer anything."
Zhao Jia laughed bitterly when he heard this, raised his arms, shook his empty cuffs, and said with a bitter look on his face.
Cheng Yu looked Zhao Jia up and down and said with a smile: "Who said no? You are the same person, aren't you? I will recommend you to Brother Wang and allow you to join Qin as an official and serve the Qin State. In this way, if the Qin State wants to Attacking Zhao, you may be able to stop it yourself."
Are you serious? !
The expression on Zhao Jia's face froze.
If he stops it, he won't live long in Qin State.
It is impossible for Qin to stop for one person. You can make him slow down, but if you want to stop him, you will definitely be crushed by the general trend.
Zhao Jia has not yet thought about stopping Qin from doing anything to the six countries.
"I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously, but I really think highly of you. Since you said you have nothing, I will give you something later. What you have in Zhao country, you can also have here."
Cheng Yu's smile faded, he looked at Zhao Jia seriously, and said grandly, with a princely air in his tone.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Chang'an."
Zhao Jia smiled and did not refuse. Accepting gifts can sometimes make the relationship between each other better.
Cheng Xi has not rebelled yet, so he can naturally make friends. As for the future, that is also a matter of the future. What he needs to consider now is to establish a firm foothold.
