It was not easy to persuade Zhang Han to name the paper, and Su Mo held the paper in his hand with some love.

Suddenly he remembered something.

"By the way, in the future, remember to send a batch of paper made in the workshop to me as soon as possible." Su Mo, as the inventor of this papermaking technique, will definitely use his power for personal gain.

Of course, he didn't write on paper.

It is mainly used to wipe the buttocks.

It's really that he has a lot of resentment about the toilets of this era.

Since there is no paper in this era, everyone uses a bamboo skewer to scrape their butts when they go to the toilet, which is inconvenient, and it hurts to scrape!

Su Mo really couldn't stand the world without toilet paper.

Hearing this request, Zhang Han easily agreed.

After sending Zhang Han away, Su Mo held the lamp alone in the study, staring at the blank paper left on the table.

This time, Zhang Han sent him about thirty pieces of paper, which was enough for him to use for a long time.

It just so happens that tomorrow is the great court meeting, and at that time, the first emperor and the civil and military officials will discuss state affairs in the Qilin Palace.

Su Mo was going to write a copy of the paper with these papers, and then handed it to the First Emperor.

By the way, in front of the civil and military officials, you can sell the usefulness of this paper well.

Thinking of this, Su Mo continued to put pen to paper.

Then he wrote it on paper.

…………

The next day.

The Great Pilgrimage.

Su Mo wore the official uniform of the Qin Dynasty and walked outside the Qilin Palace.

At this time, there were already many ministers waiting outside the palace, and then quietly waiting for the government to begin.

When Su Mo came to the outside of the Qilin Palace, a minister immediately came up to flatter.

"Hello to Lord Order!"

"Hello Sangkoku-sama!"

……

Everyone called him differently, but they were all very respectful.

However, Su Mo also noticed that not everyone was very enthusiastic about him, like the left prime minister Li Si and the right prime minister Feng Quji, who stood at the head of the ministers, looked at him coldly.

In addition, there are a large number of generals next to him, who are also lukewarm, after all, the military generals of Daqin are not a system, so naturally there is no need to befriend Su Mo, the prime minister.

Su Mo didn't care about this.

He found a place to stand by and waited silently.

Soon the door of the Qilin Hall opened.

The ministers rushed in.

Su Mo also walked in.

This was his first official ascension, but he soon discovered an awkward place.

As the commander of the CRRC government, Su Mo's duty is to stand next to the first emperor and then preside over the court etiquette.

But as the prime minister, he should actually stand with the courtiers, and then meet the first emperor.

So now he has a very embarrassing place where he doesn't know where he is standing.

Fortunately, after the First Emperor saw Su Mo, he immediately spoke: "Zhao Gao, you come up, and you will preside over today's government affairs." ”

Hearing this, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good.

At least you don't have to kneel and kowtow to the first emperor to preside over the government, if you think so, you won't lose your blood.

So Su Mo immediately trotted towards the First Emperor above, and finally stood on the steps in front of the left.

Regarding the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, Su Mo was naturally clear.

His gaze swept over the ministers of the main hall.

"Kneel!"

Su Mo used his internal strength, and his voice spread clearly throughout every corner of the Qilin Palace.

Soon, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on a mat.

"Mountain Call!"

Su Mo continued to shout.

"Long live my emperor!"

So the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Mountain Call!"

"Hooray!"

Seeing this scene, Su Mo felt a little funny in his heart, and shouted again: "Tell again!" ”

"Hooray!"

"The Qing family is flat!"

The First Emperor sat high above and waited until everyone had finished saluting before nodding in response.

Soon the ministers stood up.

This is the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, long live the mountain.

When Su Mo shouted the first mountain call, the ministers had to kowtow and say "Long live my emperor"; During the second "mountain call", everyone kowtowed again and shouted "Long live"; When the last "Zai Shan Shou" was called, the others continued to shout "Banzai".

After the Qin Dynasty's rituals were finished, Su Mo shouted, "Enter the table!" ”

It wasn't long before the ministers knelt on a straw mat.

In the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor sat with the ministers when he went to the court to discuss politics.

Later, it evolved into the emperor sitting, the ministers standing, and then the emperor sitting, and the ministers kneeling.

It can be seen that the status of the courtiers is getting lower and lower.

After the salute, the First Emperor sat on top.

"Everyone, do you have something to do?" The First Emperor looked at the civil and military ministers and asked.

Hearing this, all the ministers below were silent.

At this time, Su Mo took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do!" ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

The First Emperor looked at him, the prime minister, with a smile on his face.

"This is the minister's recital!"

Su Mo was neither humble nor arrogant, and handed over the fold that had been prepared in his hand for a long time.

Seeing the fold handed over by Su Mo, the First Emperor sighed lightly.

The civil and military ministers below also looked at each other, looking at the pile of papers that Su Mo took out with some curiosity, because no one in this era had ever seen this thing.

In the past, everyone used thick bamboo slips to write the folds, so no one knew what Su Mo took out.

The First Emperor did not see it.

"What is this?" The First Emperor didn't look at the contents of the paper, and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, this is a new thing that the minister has recently tinkered with, it's called paper, and it's something specially used for writing." Su Mo explained.

Hearing this, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military equipment of the Qilin Hall were shocked.

"What do you say, this thing can be used to replace bamboo slips and be used for writing?" The First Emperor was a little surprised, lowered his head and looked at the paper in his hand, and looked at the dense handwriting written on it, which can indeed be used for writing, "It is incredible that there is such a light thing in this world!" ”

Not to mention the First Emperor, even the other ministers were amazed.

Su Mo had expected it a long time ago, but fortunately, there were dozens of pieces of paper sent by Zhang Han yesterday, and he brought all of them today.

All these papers were distributed to the Manchu civil and military, and then these people were allowed to carry a pen to test.

Almost everyone who has ever used paper will applaud.

"Such a strange thing, it must be priceless!"

When everyone was applauding the magic of the paper, the First Emperor asked with some curiosity.

This is also a topic of concern for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

"On the contrary, the cost of this paper is lower than that of bamboo slips, and the cost of each piece of paper is less than a penny!" Su Mo replied quite confidently.

At this moment, the entire Qilin Hall exploded in an instant.

How cheap is paper?

Since Su Mo was favored by the First Emperor, Zuo Prime Minister Li Si gradually had the danger of falling out of favor, so at this time, he immediately jumped out and retorted: "How can such a strange thing be so cheap, Zhao Gao, don't be clever and confuse the saint, you must know that it is a big crime to deceive the monarch and punish the nine clans!" ”

"Prime Minister, what I said is true."

Su Mo smiled, and then continued: "This paper was made by me and Zhang Han, if you don't believe it, you can let Zhang Shaofu come out to testify." ”

Zhang Han, as one of the Jiuqing, naturally has the qualifications to go to the court.

When Su Mo mentioned his name, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Yes, this paper is indeed made by me and the Prime Minister of China, and its cost is indeed extremely low, and the Prime Minister has not only made this thing of papermaking, but also created an even more magical printing technique, and from now on, the popularization of compulsory education in Daqin is expected." ”

"The minister is the Great Qin He, and the Majesty is congratulated!"

When Zhang Han also stood up to support Su Mo, Li Si's face became even more gloomy.

But now that the human and material evidence is there, he has no chance to continue to find fault.

After the First Emperor repeatedly confirmed that this paper was indeed very cheap and could be popularized in large quantities, his face showed an excited expression: "Okay, Zhao Gao, the prime minister of China, has made a meritorious contribution to papermaking, and he is specially named a great master!" ”
