173 The art of statecraft
Although I didn't tell Fusu where I lived, when I got up early the next day, the owner personally brought me good wine.
I asked: What's going on?
The shopkeeper said: Congratulations to Gongzi, your conversation with Fusu on the street yesterday has already spread all over Xianyang City, and now no one knows Gongzi, there are many literati and knights outside who come to visit.
I said, "I see, thank you to the shopkeeper."
I was about to go out after eating, and then the shopkeeper said that Gongzi Fusu was also here.
When Fusu came, I sat down with him.
I looked at Fusu's pale face, and said: Childe didn't sleep last night.
Fusu nodded and said: Yesterday's border war happened, and His Majesty wanted to send troops to issue certificates, but my advice failed.
I smiled and said: If the war does not end, Your Majesty will not end the war, and the people will not live a stable life, but Gongzi, as a prince, although he cares about the people, he must have a priority.
Fusu said: Please give me advice.
I said: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband.
After listening to this, Fusu recited it silently several times.
I saw that he was thoughtful, so I said: As long as Gongzi makes the people of Great Qin understand the truth that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, I believe that the people will only remember the good of His Majesty in their hearts, and His Majesty will also eliminate the misunderstanding of Gongzi in his heart.
Fusu said: Fusu understands, but how to do this.
I said, "Childe knows how different the gift I gave Childe yesterday is."
Fusu said: Mr.'s gift Fusu likes it very much, if everyone in the world understands the truth of worrying about the king in the far away of the rivers and lakes, it will also be able to achieve the trend of the rise and fall of the world.
I smiled and said, "Childe only knows one thing, and the other son is thinking about the special thing about that gift."
Fusu thought about it, looked up and said: That calligraphy is indeed exquisite, and I have never seen anything used.
I nodded and said: The calligraphy is made of paper, which can be written, which is much more convenient than bamboo slips, and can write hundreds of words in one foot.
Fusu suddenly realized and said: But how much does this paper cost, how to make it.
I said: the cost of paper is very cheap, if the construction of the site, a day can produce Baidian paper, only less than 100 people, a piece of paper can write 500 words, a month of output can be used all over the country, with printing can be made into a hundred academic books.
Fusu listened to my explanation, and there were a lot of feelings in his eyes.
I finally took out a book and said, "This is a paper book, less than an inch thick, and it records the process of making paper and the process of printing books, and Childe can leave this book."
Fusu stood up and thanked him.
After Fusu left, soon the palace came, there was Fusu next to it, it turned out that Fusu told the first emperor about this, Yingzheng issued an order to seal me as the young supervisor, with Fusu in the west of the city to build a paper mill, the same day to start construction must not be wrong.
This is next to the green silk mill, mainly for the production of fabrics, and a large open space next to it is the land of the paper mill.
I asked the Red Queen to combine modern papermaking technology to design an ancient papermaking process, as well as the design drawings, and then let the workers start work, after the Qin unified the world, as the Mojia mechanism was requisitioned by the first emperor, as the main help for the construction of the country.
During this period, I renovated a lot of current tools, including shovels, pickaxes, carts, etc., and built a paper mill in less than half a month.
And the training of workers I also carried out, half a month I let the robot teach them to make paper, trained twenty workers, when the first batch of paper was made, the first emperor also came to investigate, followed by Fusu and Li Si.
When I met this resolute man, I felt that there was no end to revenge in his eyes.
I stepped forward and said: Your Majesty, Weichen has already made Baidan Qin paper by order.
The First Emperor said: Aiqing is flat, take me to see this Qin paper that can write the world.
Li Si said: Your Majesty, this paper mill is mostly civilian, and there are all kinds of dust.
Before Li Si finished speaking, the First Emperor interrupted and said: Needless to say, as the king of a country, I am still afraid of dust.
So we came to the warehouse, and I said: Your Majesty's warehouse is in the attic on the second floor, mainly moisture-proof, dry all around, no fireworks, there are soldiers guarding day and night, the corridor next to it leads directly to the paper pavilion, and on the other side is the printing pavilion, through the printing pavilion is the library pavilion, and the books of the library are transported to the imperial city by horse-drawn carriage.
The First Emperor nodded, looked at the rows of white paper in front of him, and took the book I handed over in his hand, full of emotion.
In fact, this paper is not as good as the modern ones of later generations, after all, the conditions here are limited, but it is not very bad. And there are three grades, with different colors.
The first emperor said: Zhang Yun made meritorious paper, canonized the Shaofu order, the official worshiped Jiuqing, rewarded a mansion, a hundred hectares of fertile land, and a hundred taels of gold. Gongzi Fusu has made meritorious contributions to the supervision, and from now on he can go to the court to listen to the government.
I thank Fusu and I.
After the First Emperor left, I handed over the matter of the paper mill to take charge of it, and then went to the inn where I had stayed before.
When the boss saw that it was, he said, "What do you command?"
I said, "Whose business is your inn, I want to buy it?"
The boss said: This shop is the business of Lord Shaofu Zhanghan.
I nodded and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Master Zhang Han."
After that, I went to the Shaofu Mansion and met this famous Qin general Zhang Han.
When Zhang Han saw me coming, he said: It turned out to be the newly appointed Lord Zhang, and he was disappointed.
I said, "Your Excellency, I am here to do a business with you."
Zhang Han said: What kind of business?
I said: A Yuelai inn on the streets of the city can be under the name of an adult?
Zhang Han said: Yes, I don't know what happened to Master Zhang.
I took out a book, gave it to Zhang Han, and said, "My lord, there is a skill on it, take a look at it."
Zhang Han took the book and read it, looked at me after a while and said: This distilled liquor method and sugar making method are really so magical.
I said: I provide the production method, adults can buy and sell, you can make a profit.
Zhang Han said: Oh! It's really good, but you're not afraid that this matter will be known by someone with a heart and cause trouble!
I said, "As long as the adults agree, this matter can be done, and we will split the account fifty-fifty."
Zhang Han said: I didn't expect my brother to be so polite.
I said, "Thank you, big brother, this matter is settled."
