Chen Ke straightened his back, with confidence on his face.
"nature"
"I'm just sorry that I can't tell you the raw materials of these things."
When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately put his hands in his hands and laughed.
He didn't care about this thing in the first place.
If there can be something cheaper than bamboo slips, thinner and easier to use than silk, why should we care about the raw materials?
Besides, Wang Jian believes that Chen Ke is not such an idiot.
These materials and prescriptions will definitely be given to the emperor.
Now that it is in the hands of the emperor, it belongs to the emperor.
It's better not to have wishful thinking while waiting for others.
"As long as I have this thing, I don't care what it is made of."
"That's all your own business, Mr. Chen."
Wang Jian's words directly stopped the thoughts of some others.
Not everyone is as smart as Wang Jian, and not everyone can assess the situation like Wang Jian.
And Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform in front, had a slight smile on his lips.
He glanced lightly at the people standing under the stage.
At this time, among the many ministers, the greed in the eyes flashed away.
Ying Zheng sneered in his heart.
If Daqin had not been established just now, various systems would not be perfect yet.
He had already sent these idiots to die, so how could he still allow these idiots to commit stupidity in the court?
Ying Zheng lowered his head and looked at Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, if it is really what you said, this thing is really a good thing."
"This is the auspicious sign of my great Qin."
There was a smile in his voice: "I ordered you to make this thing. If you can make it, you should be rewarded."
"The ownership of this thing should naturally belong to you."
Ying Zheng's voice fell lightly in the hall, which laid the foundation for this matter.
Chen Ke took a step forward slowly, with a respectful look on his face.
"Your Majesty, this thing was originally entrusted to me by the gods in a dream."
"The immortal in the dream also said that this was a congratulatory gift for Your Majesty to become the contemporary emperor."
"How can I take the congratulatory gift given to His Majesty by the immortal? Isn't this a disgraceful minister?"
Chen Ke raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng intently.
"Your Majesty, I dare not accept this reward."
A curious look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
It seems that when Chen Ke came up with this excuse from the very beginning, he had already thought of what he would say today?
What does Chen Ke want to do?
"oh?"
"In your opinion, what should this thing look like?"
Chen Ke said seriously as if he didn't hear the playfulness in Ying Zheng's voice.
"Your Majesty, I think that we should set up a production office under the Young Mansion."
"And this manufacturing department makes this thing."
He raised his head, his voice filled with respect and a trace of flattery.
"I thought that our Qin Dynasty is now in the ascendant, and your majesty is even more popular among people, and the immortal is called the contemporary human emperor."
"In this way, there will definitely be no shortage of immortal things given by the immortals."
"I believe that the establishment of a "Manufacturing Department" and placing the "Manufacturing Department" under the direct control of His Majesty is a sign of respect and courtesy to the immortal. "
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling a little happy in his heart.
This "paper" was given by the immortal, so this statement would definitely continue to be given to him in the future, which obviously pleased Ying Zheng.
Today's Ying Zheng, although he has not gone further and further on the road to seek immortality, he already has the idea of wanting the method of immortality.
Nowadays, what the immortals give is "paper". Will it be the method of immortality in the future?
Ying Zheng was obviously directly aware of this possibility.
When he even opened his mouth and said: "Well, just do it according to your idea."
"This Manufacturing Department is placed under the Young Mansion and is directly under my control."
After Ying Zheng pondered for a while, he continued to speak: "No one else can get involved in this matter of the Manufacturing Department for the time being."
"I don't understand these things either."
"Since the immortal entrusted "paper" to you in dreams, it is obvious that you have won the favor of the immortal."
"In this case, you are also the "Director" of the Manufacturing Department. "
Chen Kedang even took a step forward and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. May your Majesty live forever."
"Great Qin Ten Thousand Years——"
Li Si obviously seized this opportunity and also took a step forward.
"Now that we have this divine object, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be able to prosper for thousands more years."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, for ten thousand years, the Qin Dynasty will be for ten thousand years——"
The other ministers glanced at Li Si and felt itchy with hatred.
How come this kid got the better of you?
Suddenly, the sound of the mountains calling for long live resounded throughout the entire hall.
.........
After the dispersion of the dynasty
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng sat there, looking at Chen Ke with a half-smile.
"Tell me about it Chen Ke"
"You insist on putting "paper" in my name today. What do you mean? "
Chen Ke chuckled. At this time, he used the four skills of rogue and cunning, pretending to be stupid, and giggling to the extreme.
"Oh, Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"I don't understand."
"This was given to Your Majesty by an immortal. How can it be placed in my name?"
"Didn't I make it clear to you above the court?"
"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand me."
Ying Zheng laughed, pointed at Chen Ke and said angrily: "You kid, why don't you tell me the truth quickly?"
"Be careful that I punish you for deceiving the emperor!"
Chen Ke rubbed his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty, you should know that this is my first attack on Confucianism."
"But this thing is indeed a good thing and will be of great benefit to Da Qin."
Chen Ke explained: "Your Majesty, just like you."
"This thing is good for you first."
"After a large amount of cheap paper was produced, ministers would use paper to write memorials, whether because of novelty or other reasons."
"I heard that Your Majesty corrected several carts of bamboo slips in one day."
"Now that we have paper, we only need a few sheets and it can be done."
"Isn't this a good thing for you?"
Chen Ke looked at the slightly relaxed look in Ying Zheng's eyes and continued immediately.
"However, this is indeed a very important matter for me."
"Usual bamboo slips are difficult to store and place. In addition, it is difficult to carve characters on bamboo slips, so there can be no mistakes."
"The production of such books is also much more difficult, which is not conducive to dissemination."
"That's why Confucianism took advantage."
"But what if that's not the case?"
"What if the production of books was very simple? Wouldn't it be much faster to write on paper than on bamboo slips?"
"In this way, I will be able to make Confucianism temporarily unable to control my officials from the root."
Ying Zheng's heart turned and he looked at Chen Ke and asked, "So, are you afraid that after this purpose is exposed, Confucianism will stop the production of paper?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly, looking very sincere at this time.
He is not one of those Confucian fools, so he knows very well when to act stupid and when to be sincere.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"So I can only put this thing in His Majesty's name. In this way, Confucianists will not dare to act rashly."
Chen Ke patted the dragon's butt slightly: "After all, His Majesty is so powerful. How dare he offend a mere Confucian?"
