Chapter 63: The Ministers Ask for a Reward

——

Su Dai curiously followed Wei Zheng to the small papermaking workshop in the palace, Wei Zheng estimated that the paper should have been out now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as he arrived at the workshop, Su Dai saw a group of palace attendants drying or drying wet paper, and was very curious about the strange things that these people were drying.

As soon as everyone saw the monarch coming, they all put down their work and bowed, Wei Zheng stopped and motioned for everyone to continue working, and after a while, he called the officials in charge: "Is there a dry product?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come with the villain." The officer said respectfully.

Wei Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, his eyes were full of excitement, is the paper finally about to be born?

came to a shade pavilion and waited, and in a moment the official came over with one, and the other party was holding a stack of white objects into Su Dai's eyes, and he saw Wei Zheng suddenly gather his gaze.

"Haha......" The monarch couldn't help laughing, looking at the thin white paper in his hand for a while, he was embarrassed, and then turned his eyes to Su Dai, and said: "Su Qing, this is the treasure that the widow wants to show you!" ”

Su Dai took one out of a thick stack of paper, as thin as a silk garment, very smooth, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is this?" ”

The widow named it ...... Paper! Wei Zheng said with a smile, and immediately added: "The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, have finally been collected!" ”

In this era, there is no such thing as the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room, but after today, Su Dai muttered curiously: "Paper...... What kind of treasure is this? What is it used for? ”

Su Dai's remarks made Wei Zheng laugh aloud, and suddenly said: "Come on, pen and ink are waiting!" ”

After a while, an attendant began to grind the ink with a pen and ink, and Su Dai, who was watching quietly, couldn't help but light up his eyes. Seeing Wei Zheng holding the pen and ink and starting to fly on the white paper, Su Dai saw the four words at the beginning of the article and knew what the king wrote. Wei Feng. Kiao (yù).

- Zhan Bi Qiao, Green Bamboo 猗 (?yī) 猗 (?yī). There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. Se Xi 僴 (xiàn) Xi, Hexi 咺 (xuān) Xi, there are bandit gentlemen, and you can't tell (xuān) Xi in the end!

——Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo. There are bandit gentlemen, full of ears Xiuying, will (kuài) 弁 (biàn) like stars. Sad, embarrassed, there are bandits and gentlemen, and they can't be embarrassed!

- Zé, green bamboo (zé). There are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin, and gui and bi. [1] Good at bantering, not for abuse!

The font written by Wei Zheng is the Great Seal, which was a common font during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Su Dai realized it later, looked at the thin paper in his hand, and finally had a wit in his heart, and subconsciously muttered Wei Zheng's previous words: "The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone......"

For a while, Su Dai was excited: "What a study of the four treasures, it really lives up to its name, the king, Su Dai has the cheekiness to ask the king for some treasures!" ”

Wei Zheng smiled and put down the pen and ink, paper is really a fatal attraction for literati, seeing that Su Dai couldn't help but be cheeky and rewarded, obviously, he saw the role and benefits of paper.

As everyone knows, an article "Wei Feng. Qi Ao", the full text is actually just a small, thin piece of paper can be written, look at the stack of thick white paper in front of you, if it is all written, I am afraid that the articles written by the bamboo slips that need to be piled up in a room can be included, and the benefits, with Su Dai's talent and insight, it is impossible not to see, so I was shocked.

Su Dai was apprehensive for a while, and suddenly felt that it was a bit too much to ask for a reward for such treasures as paper, but the words blurted out, and he was embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't speak.

In fact, the paper, which was regarded as a treasure by the Su Dynasty, was almost the price of cabbage.

Wei Zheng summoned the official, and after a while, he sent a stack of finished papers, Su Dai became even more curious, and immediately took a book, yes, this is a book that has been successfully ordered, but there is no text.

Wei Zheng held a wordless book in his hand and said with a smile: "Su Qing, the name of this custom-made thing made of paper is called a book, and this book can contain Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" or "Five Thousand Words". ”

In this era, there was no concept of paper, and of course there was no concept of books, but now there is.

Su Dai was deeply shocked that Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" and "Five Thousand Words" can be recorded with only this small book, which is incredible.

Wei Zheng pointed with a smile and said, "Su Qing likes it, there are ten copies here, just take them all." ”

Su Dai, who reacted, hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, such treasures, you don't need so many, one is enough, one is enough!" ”

"Haha, Su Qin said with a smile, the treasure is indeed true, and look at ......it," Wei Zhengyao pointed to the paper that was drying outside and said, "There will be more and more in the future." ”

"The king came in and was tinkering with the manufacture of such treasures?" Su Dai finally reacted, thinking of the huge workshop in the land of Qishui, he was shocked for a while, doesn't this mean......

At this time, Su Dai no longer shirked, and immediately accepted it with love, stroking a wordless book like a treasure jewel, seeing Su Dai's reaction, Wei Zheng guessed right, paper is really too lethal for the literati of this era, and there is basically not much resistance.

Who doesn't study?

The papermaking process was finally recorded, and the test site in the palace was also ordered by Wei Zheng to be cleaned up and a papermaking workshop was built in the palace? Are you kidding?

And just recently, after Su Dai took away ten wordless books like a treasure, Wei Zheng was speechless, because this guy didn't come to the palace as long as he didn't have anything important recently, and he didn't come to discuss academics with him, you must know that although Su Dai didn't have an exact official position, he often accompanied the monarch and had a very high status.

But since taking ten books, Su Dai began to devote himself to writing ten books, and it didn't take long for a strange scene to appear in the palace of the king of songs.

Jingcang suddenly came to ask Wei Zheng for a reward, after Jingcang, Ju Xin also came to ask for a reward, and even Chen Zhen also came, for a while, the general ministers of the country reached out to Wei Zheng to ask for a reward at almost the same time, except for a column, they all asked for books.

It turned out that all this was Su Dai's "culprit", and since he got ten books, he invited Jingcang and Chen Zhen to observe his treasure after writing an article.

Seeing the round eyes of Jingcang and Ju Xin, the shocked faces of these ministers who called for wind and rain made Su Dai very unhappy.

Among the ten books of the Su Dynasty, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" (also known as "Tao Te Ching") was copied from Lao Tzu, and such a book could copy the "Tao Te Ching" into it, which was incredible.

At first, I didn't know the reason, Ju Xin, Chen Zhen and others suddenly began to "curry" with Su Dai, and they all wanted to ask Su Dai for a copy, and even did not hesitate to exchange gold and silver treasures, for literati, books are simply not too attractive, but Chen Zhen and others thought that Su Dai, who had such a treasure, could take a large number of articles to read on the spot anytime and anywhere.

And they want to do it, unless they let a cart of bamboo slips accompany them from time to time, and everyone is disgusted with bamboo slips for a while, and there is no harm if there is no comparison.

Especially seeing Su Deina's appearance, showing off his face is even more envious, jealous and hateful.

In the end, after showing off and getting in the limelight, Su Dai finally couldn't resist the "coercion and temptation" of a group of ministers who defended the country, and then recruited. As a result, Chen Zhen and other ministers came to the palace at the same time to ask Wei Zheng for rewards.
