"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about it for the past few days and am planning to find some benefits for our Great Qin!"
Above the court, Liu Bai said cheerfully.
I just gave Chunyu Yue and Confucianism a few warnings. His Majesty the First Emperor will definitely know. At this time, it is more serious to act well.
In officialdom, self-consciousness is very important!
Chunyu Yue instinctively covered his face, looking wary.
When Liu Xiang said that he was seeking the welfare of the Qin Dynasty, could he really ask him and Chunyu Yue to retire and return home?
Even Li Si glanced at Liu Bai nervously.
Although the Qin Dynasty now implements the legal system, the real intention of His Majesty the First Emperor in using Chunyu Yue, a rebellious doctor from the Qi State, was to use Confucianism as a cover to bring peace to the hearts of the people of the world.
If Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong were impeached and removed from office because of such a trivial matter, Liu Bai's reputation would be completely ruined.
What's more, these Confucians will spread some ambiguous remarks, which is not good for the Qin Dynasty!
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
His Majesty the First Emperor spoke calmly, and became somewhat interested in Liu Bai's words of 'seeking welfare'.
Although this guy is a bit cunning, he has never been careless about Da Qin's interests.
"Actually, it's the simplest thing."
"Your Majesty, just before going to court, I heard that Li Xiangyan said that I should write briefly to facilitate government affairs."
"Your Majesty, you are diligent in your administration, and everyone in the court knows that. Although I asked Cui Wen, an old boy, to read the history book and was rejected, I also know that he has already recorded "one hundred and twenty kilograms of memorials read every day" in the history book."
Liu Bai chuckled, and before getting down to business, he first flattered His Majesty the First Emperor.
Don't worry about whether it works or not, His Majesty will accept it or not, Liu Bai wants to praise it anyway!
How many people want to praise but haven't had the chance yet.
"During this period, the production capacity of Mojia Paper Mill has increased significantly, and there is already excess paper that can be put on the market."
"I believe that your majesty is diligent, but you must also put your body first. Your majesty is the foundation of the Qin country. I care about your majesty's body. Isn't it for the welfare of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Instead of opening the market first, it is better to open the court first."
"I advise you to use paper instead of bamboo slips to record the government affairs of the Qin Dynasty."
"Of course, the Mojia Paper Mill is not a profiteer with evil intentions. It just pays for our Daqin to purchase bamboo slips every year."
Liu Bai smiled and talked eloquently.
After saying these words, all the ministers looked happy.
Don't tell me, this is really for welfare!
Nowadays, wealthier officials have begun to use paper in private, which is indeed much easier to use than bamboo slips.
Moreover... the paper is light and can be used to write a lot of content. If it is placed on court government affairs and local newspapers, it can be much more efficient!
Even His Majesty the First Emperor gave a rare nod.
In today's Great Qin, no one can predict what changes will happen once he collapses from exhaustion.
Li Si simplified government documents, removed cumbersome clichés, and replaced bamboo slips with paper. The efficiency of Da Qin's bureaucracy will rise to a higher level.
This is to promote politics through external means. Although it is a biased approach, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless.
However, an angry voice sounded:
"fart!"
Da Sinong Yangye pointed at Liu Bai's nose and said angrily: "Liu Bai, your paper is now sold in study shops, and the price is 11% of the bamboo slips."
"Even if I go to your library shop to buy things, I can save more than 100,000 yuan on bamboo slips in a year. Now you actually want to pay?"
"Could it be that you are bullying me, Yang Ye, and making your eyes dim?"
Yang Ye is about to jump!
There is no problem in purchasing paper for the court. He, Yang Ye, was also greedy before, but he didn't know much about the production capacity of the Mo family paper mill, and it was not easy to speak in the court.
But he didn't expect that as soon as Liu Bai opened his mouth, he would take Yang Ye as his victim?
That won’t work!
When it comes to money, don’t lose even half a penny!
When Yang Ye called out like this, all the officials in the court suddenly realized.
Why seek benefits for Da Qin? This is clearly because Liu Bai wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make money!
However,
This kind of little thought has not been hidden from our stinginess...ahem! Mr. Nong Yangye, the great master who knows everything clearly.
The insidious and cunning businessman Liu Bai actually tried to make huge profits, but fell short, which made them feel very happy!
Feng Jie looked extremely ugly!
Every time paper was mentioned, he felt like a retard.
"What Mr. Yang said makes sense, but I forgot about it. Haha!"
"Just follow the market price!"
Liu Bai laughed, showing an embarrassed look.
certainly,
This is just the surface.
Can he not know the price? Don’t you know the character of Yang Ye’s old Pixiu?
It was purely intentional!
Exchanging paper for bamboo slips involves the money associated with the industrial chain! In the past, the father of Shang Jun was the maker and merchant of the famous "Wei Bamboo Slips".
Now that Yang Ye has jumped, these officials related to him are hesitant to speak.
There is no problem in opposing Liu Bai. The worst is that he is referring to the ancestral patriarchal laws, or paper is a new thing, and it is inappropriate to use these reasons rashly.
But to prevent Yang Ye from saving money, this old man can really curse at your door for a whole day, and not one of the curse words in his mouth is the same.
"snort!"
Yang Ye snorted coldly, feeling arrogant.
The clever Da Qin Da Si Nong shattered Liu Bai's dirty money-making ideas!
"Official documents and memorials are important matters of the country, and all their records are even more important."
"Liu Bai, if I want to spread the word and win together, I will go to your Mojia papermaking workshop to learn papermaking, and then open an official papermaking workshop, and then use it exclusively for the use of paper in the court. How about that?"
For the first time, His Majesty the First Emperor actually asked Liu Bai.
And Yang Ye was even more delighted!
If it is exclusively for official use, you can save more money, and it also ensures the specialness of the paper used for official documents.
Liu Bai frowned deeply and said nothing.
Such an abnormal behavior made all the officials feel trembling. Looking at Liu Bai's eyes, they all felt a little incredible!
Could this be...
Liu Bai wants to reject His Majesty?
"The Book of Songs·Xiaoya" says: Under the sky, could it be the king's land; on the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers?
His Majesty the First Emperor personally asked for it, and the one he sent was the Seventeenth Young Master of the Qin Dynasty to win over Qi. This is equivalent to giving you Liu Baitian a lot of face.
Now...
Liu Bai didn't agree?
And this frown looks like...rejection?
Even Feng Jie, who originally felt a little embarrassed about the paper, now looked at Liu Bai with interest.
Don't say,
This guy Liu Bai, if he didn't have merit, would be a sycophant! His poems praising His Majesty could go around the Qin Dynasty three times if written out in full!
Now you actually want to disobey His Majesty?
"How?"
"You don't want to?"
His words are majestic, not angry, but intimidating.
However,
Liu Bai just bowed his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a big coin here. As a minister of Qin, I am willing to offer it to Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Liu Bai took out a big coin from his arms and presented it with both hands in full view of everyone.
His Majesty the First Emperor raised his sword eyebrows slightly, signaling Dunruo to take the big coin.
"Why speak of him?"
His Majesty the First Emperor asked.
then,
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Bai slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please give me this big coin!"
As soon as he said this, all the officials were dumbfounded!
Nest grass?
Liu Bai, you are...
Are you kidding His Majesty the First Emperor?
