In other words, a blank piece of paper like this can carry the equivalent of what can be recorded in the past two volumes!

It is likely that hundreds of blank sheets of paper can record all the articles of any one of the Warring States princes.

Before the advent of blank paper, it would have taken an entire study to load them.

After thinking about this fact, countless princes and ministers fell into a brief silence.

The doctors and officials present didn't think about it so much, they danced one by one.

At this moment, they are already immersed in ecstasy and excitement!

The appearance of blank paper will herald the advent of a new era!

But there are also a few Confucian scholars, but they have a sad face.

"Strange tricks, chaotic national politics, bad saint system!"

The man reprimanded in a low voice, directly expressing his inner disgust at the appearance of the blank paper.

For them, no matter how old the hat is, they have to wear it on their heads, and no matter how new their shoes are, they have to step on their feet.

It is the system of the first king.

Now, someone actually wants to replace the previous king's slip with a new material?

This is completely unacceptable, completely unreasonable!

This is a reversal of the norm, and it is a collapse of etiquette!

In the eyes of these people, using paper to write words and record knowledge is a blasphemy against the kings and sages!

Of course, this is only a superficial statement.

Deep down, they are terrified.

Fear of this new change, the emergence of a new development trend.

They all knew in their hearts that once this thing became popular.

So......

knowledge, they will not be able to monopolize it completely!

Today, there are no more than 50,000 people in the world.

And with the advent of white paper.

In the foreseeable future, the number of readers in the world may increase exponentially.

This is a good thing for the general public.

But for those families who use poetry and books to pass on their families, it is simply a nightmare.

The reason is simple, scarce is expensive.

When there are more readers, it is naturally worthless!

However, they did not have any power to interfere in the emergence and development of this matter.

In the face of the general trend, all their ideas and opinions are destined to be swept into the dust of history.

Among all the people on the scene, the most painful and fearful was the envoy of Wu State.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood where the uneasiness that had been hidden in his heart came from?

If His Royal Highness the Prince was really a reckless person, how could he write such a recital.

It was as if their previous bet had been forgotten.

The victory or defeat was already revealed as early as the moment the book of filial piety appeared.

If possible, he would rather someone mention the bet than to be forgotten now.

But he couldn't leave yet, and he didn't say anything if he didn't look at the book of filial piety with his own eyes.

The scroll full of filial piety was circulated in the hands of the princes and kings and the hundred officials of the court.

Everyone had just started to get it, and before they could savor it, they were picked up by the itchy minister who was already waiting next to them.

At that moment, many hot-tempered people even had the urge to stage an all-out martial arts.

However, I was afraid that this was the emperor's birthday banquet, and I was afraid that I would damage the precious books.

So, I could only watch the books leave my hands.

It was as if he had seen his beloved woman taken away.

Because of this, the transmission speed of filial piety is very fast.

It didn't take long for it to reach the envoy of the State of Wu.

He majored in the art of vertical and horizontal, and he also dabbled in the study of all the sons and hundreds of schools.

Therefore, he also understands it more clearly than many people.

What is the meaning of this thin, white and clean paper?

It can be said that as long as this thing can be manufactured on a large scale, it will be used all over the world.

All the literati would be grateful to the imperial court.

Although this group of people does not have much power, they influence the direction of the people's hearts and minds in the world.

For a moment, there was even an impulse in the heart of the envoy of the State of Wu.

Immediately returned to Wu Guo and told the king: "Let's not go back, right?" ”

But he soon dispelled this idea, he was deeply favored by King Wu, how could he be such a capricious person.

But, in any case, this news must be passed back as soon as possible.

"Your Highness has great ambitions, and the things you offer are indeed far above everyone, and you are obedient."

"In the future, wherever His Highness is located, the ministers should avoid it."

After speaking, after bowing and saluting, he turned around and walked out of the Qingliang Palace.

This guy is going to put me together before leaving! ”

Having said that, a flash of appreciation flashed in Liu Rong's eyes.

Since this envoy of Wu entered the palace, his performance has been remarkable.

A leopard can be seen in the tube.

This Wu country is really not to be underestimated!

Compared with the ease of the envoys of Wu, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, had a look of disappointment on his face.

As a literary youth, he could not say that the filial piety scripture written on a blank piece of paper was less valuable than the treasures he offered.

"Could it be that this nephew of Emperor Liu Rong is really the nemesis of this king?"

He couldn't help but think to himself.

Anyone was twice poured down with a basin of cold water when he was complacent.

And it's the same person, I'm afraid they will all feel decadent.

"Okay, tonight should be the gift of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Liu Rong, the boy of Liang, I like it the most, so let's disperse."

Emperor Jing Liu Qike knew the importance of Liang Guo to the imperial court at this time, so he had to come forward to appease him.

After speaking, he glanced at Liu Rong deeply and left the Qingliang Hall with the Empress Dowager Dou.

As soon as the emperor left, the princes and ministers present would not care about the feelings of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

Immediately surrounded Liu Rong and couldn't get through.

"Your Highness, the minister is willing to ask for the blank paper with a lot of money."

"Your Highness, no matter how much blank paper there is, how high or low the price is, the ministers want it all."

"Your Highness, there is a granddaughter in the minister's family, fourteen years old, beautiful as a flower, very compatible with His Royal Highness, dowry, just a few cars of blank paper."

Hearing the words of this last person, the surrounding princes and ministers turned their heads and glared angrily to see who was so shameless.

Many people lamented in their hearts how to let others take the lead.

But when they saw the speaker's face, they immediately became intimidated.

This person is actually Prime Minister Shen Tujia, who is the last founding father to be active in the political arena.

He is a hero who followed Emperor Gao to fight the world, and he is a veteran of the Five Dynasties.

In terms of seniority and status, no one present was higher than him.

Even Emperor Jing Liu Qi was polite in front of this person.

"The prime minister laughed, the kid has just figured out the practice of blank paper, and at present, he has only made some samples, and the boy will ask you to send a copy to your house."

For this old minister of the Emperor Gao, who was older than his grandfather, Liu Rong naturally showed great respect.

Shen Tujia looked energetic and full of combat power, he grinned and smiled: "The minister has no money to pay the bill!" ”

Maybe others would think that the old man was joking, but Liu Rong knew from the historical records that what the other party said was very likely to be the truth.

This old prime minister is one of the few good officials in the dynasty with clean sleeves, and he ranks first among the civil and military officials with the body of a marquis.

When he died, the family had only ten gold savings......

"Where can the kid take the prime minister's money." Liu Rong smiled bitterly on his face, and then said: "All the princes on the scene have a share, although there are not many of them, but they are all the hearts of the kids. ”

As soon as these words came out, they naturally led to a round of applause.

"You're a good kid, it's much more pleasing to the eye than someone."

Shen Tujia looked at the direction where King Liang was and said meaningfully.

Even Emperor Jing Liu Qi sometimes had no way to take Shen Tujia, who relied on the old and sold the old, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, could only stare dryly at this.

Originally, I wanted to stay and say a few words to Liu Rong, but now I have no mind at all.

turned around and walked out of the Qingliang Palace.

Princess Liu and Su Ji saw this scene and smiled in unison.

In their opinion, Liu Rong's position as the crown prince is already a sure thing.

In the center of the hall, most of the white paper made by the first batch was scattered, and Liu Rong escaped from the crowd.

It's a bit distressing, but it's necessary.

With this group of people at the top of the Han Dynasty helping to advertise, I believe it will not take a few days.

The news of the birth of a blank sheet of paper will surely spread all over the world.

At that time, there will inevitably be a situation where Chang'an paper is expensive and hard to find.

That's when it's the best time to make money.

He had to keep an eye on it so that he could produce a few more batches of blank paper as soon as possible.

Judging from the performance of everyone at the scene, he may still underestimate the influence of the white paper.

He may not be able to enjoy this technology alone for too long.

But it doesn't matter.

At that time, it's a big deal to dedicate this technology to cheap dads.

I believe that his benefits are indispensable.

……

Chang'an City, South City.

In the past two days, Yuan Ang only used a few small means to clean up a group of small officials in Nanshi.

In addition, Guan Jian, the eldest brother of the rangers, came forward to make an appointment with several ranger leaders in Nanshi to hold a Jianghu conference, successfully uniting all forces.

Therefore, the people who came to Nanshi to buy things in the past few days were stunned.

Not only have the streets of Nanshi become cleaner, but the rangers that used to be everywhere are gone.

The attitude of the city officials also became more amiable.

Under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, everyone knows about the changes brought by His Royal Highness Liu Rong.

Naturally, Liu Rong's prestige in Chang'an City increased by one or two points again.

"What?"

Yuan An, who was originally dealing with Nanshi affairs, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the big man in front of him in disbelief.

His subordinates received a report that Nangong Hou Zhang was sitting in Nanshi and secretly hid bows and crossbow armor, and his stronghold was often infested with sneaky people.

Under Guan Jian's calm face, his voice trembled slightly.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I can't help but feel excited when I think of the fate of the object I could only look up to in the past.

"Is the situation clear?"

The office of a city magistrate, though humble, is authorized to deal with any incident that occurs in the bazaar.

Yuan An's big head is that this Nangong Marquis is fine, but he married a princess.

Princess Nangong's mother is the current king of the Holy Family? Tun Zhao Lang Shu

This woman is not easy to mess with.

But since the incident happened in Nanshi, it was impossible for Yuan Ang to sit idly by.

Since Guan Jian dared to stab the matter in front of Yuan An, he naturally had already investigated it clearly.

Therefore, he nodded very affirmatively and said, "I have seen with my own eyes that there are at least a hundred pairs of armor, ten large yellow crossbows, and countless other weapons. ”

This is a big case!

According to Han law, private individuals can legally possess weapons of self-defense, including knives, swords, and bows and arrows.

However, it is forbidden for anyone to possess heavy armor and crossbows without permission.

Once discovered, it can be considered a rebellion.

And Nangong Hou not only hid his armor, but also hid the rhubarb crossbow, which is a big deal!

The rhubarb crossbow is a strategic weapon that only the elite of the Han army will be equipped with.

With a strength of up to 10 stones, it has an ultra-long range, and can even shoot enemy generals at a distance of 300 paces.

Secretly hiding this kind of weapon in Chang'an, is it not preparing to rebel, is it a playhouse?

After hearing this, Yuan Ang stood up on the spot, paced back and forth a few steps, turned around and asked, "Have you ever startled the snake?" ”

"My lord, I underestimated my subordinates and wanted to ...... This late-night visit, subordinates have done a lot of work. ”

Guan Jian smiled, as if he remembered his previous "great achievements".

It wasn't until he found that Yuan Ang's face was displeased, that he restrained himself a little and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates dare to vouch for their heads, and the people in that stronghold will definitely not notice it." ”

Yuan Ang nodded, showing a bit of approval on his face, and then handed a wooden box containing twenty gold cakes to the other party.

"Send reliable people to keep an eye on it, don't act rashly, I will immediately enter the palace to inform His Highness."

For such a big matter, he didn't dare to give the Lord an idea easily.

Especially when it comes to the Nangong princess, this makes the nature of the whole thing fundamentally change.

Who dares to guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with that Madame Wang.

"Okay, just leave it to your subordinates."

Guan Jian unceremoniously took the wooden box, and when he saw the golden items in the box clearly, the smile on his face became even stronger.

He himself doesn't particularly value money, but he now has a large group of people under his hands, and he can't maintain his status as a ranger brother without money.

Seeing this, Yuan Ang shook his head unconsciously.

I know that I can't ask too much of such a rough person.

Out of Nanshi, Yuan Ang took a carriage to the palace.

He has the token given by Liu Rong, but he doesn't have to worry about not being able to enter the palace.

After about half an hour, Yuan Ang met Liu Rong, who was inspecting the papermaking process.

Seeing the white items drying in front of him, Yuan Ang immediately forgot his intention, and his eyes showed a look of obsession.

"Your Highness, could it be that this is the legendary blank paper?"

Since the events at the emperor's birthday banquet spread, as well as the appearance of the major princes and ministers.

In Chang'an City, even the lowest civilians understood what paper was.

Yuan Ang was also fortunate to see the real thing in Dou Ying's house.

However, there are only a few, but they are regarded as a heart and liver baby by Dou Ying, and don't even think about seeing them for idlers.

"Exactly." Liu Rong smiled casually, pointed to the stack of dried finished products next to him and said, "It's good for you to bring some back and use them for office." ”

"Minister, thank you, Your Highness."

This time, Yuan Ang did not refuse.
