Unfortunately, although the military craftsmen brought by Lantian to make paper had a first-mover advantage, after all, they were just ordinary craftsmen with low levels of knowledge and culture.
It didn't take long for their technical superiority to be surpassed by this group of Mohist disciples. After all, even among the ranks of craftsmen, they were ordinary.
Of course, to be able to figure out the principles of papermaking in such a short period of time, the Mohist disciples still exerted some subjective initiative.
Such as peeping
The principle of papermaking is not that difficult. After a brief look at the process, a group of Mohist disciples roughly analyzed the principle. After continuous testing and improvement, and experience summarization, the military craftsmen's tips to guard against it did not take long to be used. After trial and error, they continued to improve it, and finally the white paper that satisfied these Mohist disciples came out.
"The problem is that the cost is a little higher. If you want to reduce the cost and increase the production speed, the quality of the paper will be slightly worse." After all, the Mohist disciples are really knowledgeable.
Soon, they had prepared summary and process reports, cost and quality analysis, output and papermaking cycle analysis, and these are skills that most military craftsmen in this era do not have.
"Present the hemp paper and white paper together, present the straw paper together, and let's play together!"
At present, Mohist disciples roughly divide paper into three grades according to quality and raw materials.
The first-class white paper is naturally made of wood fiber. It is soft and delicate. It is already considered a luxury item in paper. However, the cost is not much lower than that of bamboo slips, the output is relatively low, and the production cycle is relatively long.
The next best thing is hemp paper, which is dull in color and brittle in texture, but it can meet the writing needs and be bound into a book without any problems. I have also tried it with printing. Hemp paper can be used and the cost is relatively moderate.
The worst thing is straw paper, which is paper produced from various types of hay stems and leaves. The quality can only be said to be a mess.
The ink will smear out through the paper if you are not careful, and it will be damaged if you are not careful after binding it into a book. However, the advantages are low cost, fewer processes, and faster production speed. If you want to use straw paper to bind a book, it is probably not possible. , but it is not impossible to use it as a consumable for checking calculations.
Of course, judging from the current cost, even the price of straw paper is considered high for Qianshou, and it cannot be used in large quantities. This phenomenon may be alleviated with the increase of production experience and the further maturity of the process.
The Mohist disciples, who have a serious academic background in the Eight Classics, are indeed easy to use. They even analyzed the applicability and corresponding classes of various types of paper based on cost. Although the Mohist school is slightly in decline, it is a prominent school after all. Although its philosophy of governing the country is not liked by the First Emperor, but Serious Mohist disciples are fully capable of product analysis.
After thinking about it for a long time, I wrote the memorial!
It is worth mentioning that this memorial was written on white paper!
It was sent directly to the First Emperor. Of course, the recipient of the letter was Zhao Si. They were not qualified to send it to the First Emperor.
This may be the first paper memorial so far!
On the other side, Jiahu was still moving forward steadily.
Zhao Si and the First Emperor were chatting freely in the carriage.
The main thing we are talking about is Jin Yiwei.
"The guards are directly in charge of patrols and arrests. They are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, regardless of official rank. They are arrested directly. They are interrogated and imprisoned without asking the three officials and nine ministers." The first emperor repeated it and looked at Zhao Si slightly strangely.
He originally thought that what Zhao Si proposed was just a simple internal audit agency, but...
Directly under the imperial power, independent of the three gongs and nine ministers, it has the right to arrest anyone, and independently sets up torture and interrogation institutions, regardless of official title.
Zhao Si's proposal was as heartless and heartless as ever.
The truth is that this Jin Yiwei, named by Zhao Si, has too much power. He has an independent interrogation agency and force allocation. He is independent of the Three Gongs and Nine Qings, and is not subject to checks and balances by the Three Gongs and Nine Qings. He belongs exclusively to the imperial power.
This is no longer a sword hanging over everyone's head, but a knife directly placed on everyone's neck. What does this mean? This means that as long as this organization is successfully established, all local officials will be checked and balanced, and the existing officialdom logic will be destroyed.
The person who started making the figurines has no descendants.
Civil and military officials, local officials and even the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, as long as the First Emperor wants to take action, there is no need to go through any procedures at all. This is certainly a good thing for the First Emperor. This kind of institution can further strengthen the imperial power and at the same time tighten the constraints on the world. However, there is no doubt that this kind of vicious institution is a proposal to have a son without an asshole.
As for being short-sighted.
It's very simple, because Zhao Si is also a member of the civil and military officials, and objectively speaking, Zhao Si has a bright future. There is no need to raise such opinions, and Zhao Si is not a minister.
But Zhao Si still mentioned it, as if he didn't care about his status as a minister. Could it be that this knife really wouldn't be placed on Zhao Si's neck?
Or was it because he was too close to Zhao Si that Zhao Si had such an illusion?
"Jin Yiwei doesn't sound very good."
The First Emperor said something for no reason.
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "This is just a name I chose casually. His Majesty naturally makes the decision for this kind of organization."
After all, I still feel a little regretful. Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to see the Ming Dynasty's Jin Yiwei in Da Qin. To be honest, Zhao Si still has a good impression of the Ming Dynasty.
When the First Emperor heard this, he just waved his hand and said, "Go out and drive."
Zhao Si heard this and bowed to leave.
Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by the First Emperor.
"Don't let this matter leak out."
Although a tight-lipped mouth should be the basic ethics of an official, he is Zhao Si after all.
This kid's temperament is too out-of-touch, he seems to care about nothing, and he seems to care about everything. The way he does things is completely different from the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty. It's not that he can't handle it well, it's just that Zhao Si has to do things for the first emperor. It feels weird.
News of the formation of such an organization must not be leaked in advance.
Of course, this was only an obvious reason. The First Emperor still did not want to place the culprit on Zhao Si.
This kind of organization is naturally independent of the three gongs and nine ministers. Zhao Si cannot withstand these pressures and his foundation is too shallow.
"Go ahead, Zhao Dun is weak and enters."
The First Emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Si bowed and retreated.
After leaving Jiahu, Hu Hai was the only one driving the car honestly.
When Zhao Si came out, Hu Hai said hello and prepared to get out of the driver's seat.
"Young master, you don't have to, I want to send an edict to the king." After saying that, Zhao Si jumped down from the carriage.
Because there were so many people, and many of the entourage were walking, the traveling speed of the frame was not much different from walking, so there was no problem in jumping off.
Suddenly weak, the official paid homage to the minister.
Unlike Meng Yi who is in charge of Lang Zhongling, Dunruo does not have a specific position, but everyone knows Dunruo's position. Due to various reasons, Dunruo's popularity is now very poor, almost like a lonely minister.
However, the weak frame was not very far from the First Emperor's drive.
"Jin Yiwei... I don't know what name I should change it to. Hei Bingtai sounds like it."
Zhao Si thought as he walked.
In fact, Jin Yiwei's proposal was not Zhao Si's whim.
It just happened to be the right time to talk about it today. The topic has come to this point. If we don't mention it today, sooner or later Zhao Si will propose the establishment of an internal agency that is independent of the Sangong and Jiuqing.
After all, Zhao Si will be responsible for the future relocation order.
The nobles were deeply involved. This was the Qin Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty.
The relocation order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was targeted at powerful and wealthy businessmen. To put it bluntly, powerful and wealthy businessmen were just sitting on the ground, not even sitting on the ground. They were not worthy of carrying shoes for the great nobles of this era.
Different subjects are targeted, and the difficulty naturally varies a lot.
The blood relatives of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms are spread all over the Qin Dynasty... If you can trace them back, which one is not related to them? In this case... I want to go through the procedures through the Sangong and Jiuqing agencies...
I don't know how long it will take from the moment the knife is raised to the moment it is lowered.
Only by forming an organization that is completely independent of the three ministers and nine ministers can we get rid of the constraints and do great things well.
If you want to achieve great things, how can you do it without a knife in your hand?
The most ideal situation is that Zhao Si himself presides over the imperial edict and at the same time leads the royal guards.
But at present, it seems that the First Emperor is probably planning to let Dun Ruo do this.
But it doesn't matter. They are professionals after all. As long as they can work together, there is no restriction.
As for whether the establishment of this special organization will have an impact on Zhao Si, whether Zhao Si will suffer from it... Zhao Si doesn't care at all.
I've already booked five horses to be quartered, why don't you let me have some fun in advance?
The First Emperor was definitely willing to set up this kind of organization. This kind of organization was born to cater to the imperial power and strengthen the emperor's power. There was no reason why the First Emperor would not like it.
As for whether this knife should be thrown away after use or used all the time, it depends on the First Emperor's will.
We walked down for about three to five minutes.
Snap, quickly!
Zhao Si found Dun's weak frame and explained the whole story, and the two turned back together.
Zhao Si glanced at it...the six carriages symbolizing the emperor were distributed among Nuo Da's motorcade.
Just looking at it from the outside, it's probably impossible to tell which one was driven by the First Emperor.
As the chief of the right concubine, Zhao Si naturally had his own independent carriage. It was impossible for him to drive for the First Emperor overnight, right?
As for Zhao Gao...his frame is a bit far away.
The influence of many things is subtle. It seems that history has not changed, but in fact it has changed beyond recognition.
Logically speaking, Zhao Gao should be waiting for the king's carriage.
But this position was replaced by Zhao Si. Zhao Gao's current carriage is near the First Emperor's carriage, commanding the accompanying palace servants and maids.
When Zhao Si got in the car, Hu Hai said hello and gave up the driver's seat.
Zhao Si raised his ears and wondered what the First Emperor and Dunruo were talking about. Unfortunately, it was too noisy outside, the driving seat was a bit far away, and there were sound insulation measures inside, so he couldn't hear it at all.
Traveling in a hurry is mostly boring...
Six horses with black water were pacing slowly, and Zhao Si was holding the reins in one hand.
"Wang Li is so beautiful. If he had known, I would have found a way to explore the way forward for the First Emperor..."
