Fusu and Wang Zhanshi, the smiles that bloomed on their faces a moment ago directly solidified in this second.....

The two of them looked at each other.

The two of them didn't understand what a good hammer meant, but Wang Zhanshi felt that this sentence was talking about him. And the latter sentence is simply stupid, it is Fusu.

Originally, I felt that my answer was very good, especially when I flattered Li Yang in the words, thinking that Li Yang would be very happy after hearing it, but the result was ...... but was scolded as a fool.

Fusu suddenly had a feeling that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground, and he was speechless for a while.

"Taifu ......" Fusu wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Yang pouted and said, "What, does Your Highness feel unconvinced?"

Fusu had a feeling of eating flies, so he had to say, "I still hope that Taifu will advise."

Li Yang said in an old-fashioned manner: "Now that I'm Daqin, the two million servants are about to be disbanded, why?" Isn't it because the treasury has no food? You actually said that at this time, the most urgent problem in my Great Qin is actually tax reduction and light taxation, my God, if you go to your majesty to say this, believe it or not, where you come from, you will go back!"

Wang Zhan on the side asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Li Yang pouted: "Didn't Your Highness just come back from the frontier, then go back to the frontier!"

"........." Fusu and Wang Zhanshi had a feeling of wanting to die.

Although Li Yang's words were not good, but what he said was really reasonable, and Fusu was speechless for a while.

Li Yang was also speechless, Fusu was really too benevolent. Now I finally understand why the emperor has not appointed him as the crown prince for a long time, if he is his emperor's father, then he will not dare to hand over Daqin to such a benevolent son.

It seems that it is not as easy as imagined to adjust this product.

Li Yang sighed, and had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, there is something to be done, and there is something to be done." This light tax is not possible at the moment. Let's not say that at present, my Great Qin treasury is so poor that I can't even afford to support the military and government, even if there is still surplus grain in the treasury, then I can't pay taxes lightly at this time, this tax is reduced, and the treasury is short of money and grain, so who will build the Great Wall, Lishan, and Afang Palace? Isn't this a waste of the project bidding policy that was just set today?"

"............" Fusu was also dumbfounded when he heard it.

He didn't think of this at all, but now after listening to Li Yang's analysis, he realized that Li Yang said that he was stupid, and he really didn't wronged him.

At this moment, he himself felt stupid enough, even ten times more stupid than the light conscription strategy he had thought of before.

'Taifu's teachings, Fusu remembered, it was because I didn't think it through, I was too ignorant. Fusu sighed, looking lost and self-reproachful. At this time, he had to admit that Li Yang looked at the problem more comprehensively than himself.

Although Wang Zhanshi was also scolded by Li Yang as a hammer before, he was convinced at this time.

Li Yang comforted: "Don't be discouraged, Your Highness is just thinking about problems, and they are all based on benevolent government, so everything is inconsistent with the status quo of Great Qin, and governing the country should be based on profit."

"Profit as a starting point?" Fusu was stunned.

You must know that the former teacher Chun Yuyue, but he often taught him that governing the country should be based on benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, and he despised the most profit.

Li is a villain, for himself, selfishness, and affection!

However, Li Yang told him that the word profit should be the first thing to govern the country, which shocked Fusu.

When Li Yang saw this stupid and surprised look, he knew that this product was not lightly poisoned by Chun Ganyue, so he had to say: "Does Your Highness want to say that profit is a villain's behavior, how can it be used to govern the country?"

Fusu nodded hurriedly.

Li Yang really wanted to spank him directly, rolled his eyes and said: "Your Highness, you must remember that Confucian benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are virtues, how can these virtues be used to govern the country?" Profit, if it is used to describe morality, it can naturally be said to be a villain, but the profit is divided into small profits, and those who are selfish interests of individuals are small profits. But the benefits are also divided into great benefits, and this is the interest of the country. To govern the country is to think about the interests of the country everywhere, and the interests of the country will not be harmed, is this also the act of a villain? Isn't this kind of prefix a noble character for the country and the people?"

"This ..............." Fusu was speechless again when he heard it.

This sharp word, as soon as it came out of Li Yang's mouth, it was really different.

For the benefit of a country, where is this still a villain's behavior, this is clearly righteousness and justice.

Fusu had a feeling that his mind was distorted, completely subverting his previous cognition.

Obviously, you think that Li Nai is a villain, but after Li Yang said it, you were not only powerless to refute, but also made you feel that what he said was really fucking reasonable.

Li Yang continued: "From now on, I hope that Your Highness will remember that you must not use that noble character to govern the country, and you should govern the country with the word profit at the head!"

Fusu was completely subverted by this guy's previous cognition today, so he had to nod at the moment: "Taifu's teachings, students remember!"

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth, not only can you not reduce taxes at the moment, but you have to find a way to make money."

"Make money?" Fusu was stunned again.

He really felt that his IQ was rubbed under his feet all day today.

Either you don't understand it, or you can't keep up with the rhythm.

For the first time, he felt that being Li Yang's student was so tired!

"Yes, although it will not be long before all the two million servants' union will be disbanded, this year's tax will not be paid until after the autumn harvest. Therefore, during this period, the biggest problem for Daqin at the moment is that he is poor, so poor that he can't even afford the military and government. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yang looked at Fusu and said, "If Your Highness wants to relieve Daqin's worries, then find a way to make money!"

"Huh? Let me earn ...... Make money!" Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking: "But ....... this...... I won't! And...... Isn't that what businessmen do?"

Li Yang said: "You're right, I just want you to learn to be a mercenary businessman!"

Fusu fainted directly!

It's unreasonable, even if you are a master, you can't call it like this, you actually asked me to learn to be a mercenary businessman.....

I'm the eldest son of the Qin Kingdom!

This is also fortunate that Fusu is deeply poisoned by Confucianism, and it is disrespectful to contradict the teacher in his heart, otherwise he would have to jump up and scold people at this time!

At this time, Wang Zhanshi on the side even wanted to say, it's not right for you to teach like this.

Fusu dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to say helplessly: "Taifu, this businessman makes money.......... I really don't. ”

Li Yang frowned without frowning, and said lightly: "Don't worry, the minister will teach you!"

".........." Fusu was speechless, and his heart was like ashes.

Li Yang didn't care whether he wanted it or not, and said directly: "The minister will tell you a way to make money now, called papermaking."

"Papermaking?"

Fusu had a question mark on his face again.

Li Yang sighed: "Paper, but it is a good thing, as thin as silk, it can replace bamboo slips for writing and recording." What's more, the popularization of papermaking technology, its cost is very low, and it can even be much lower than the cost of bamboo slips, which is extremely conducive to the spread of culture and knowledge, in short, its benefits are beyond your imagination. Just imagine, if you come up with such a good thing, you will naturally be able to amaze Your Majesty, and if you use it to bring a lot of revenue to the treasury, it will be a great achievement. ”

When Fusu heard this, he was really interested this time, and his eyes lit up.

The oracle bones and bamboo slips are relatively bulky, for example, the father and the emperor have to read a whole car just to read the chapters a day; Although silk silk is lightweight, it is very expensive and not suitable for writing.

If there is really a lower cost than silk silk, and lighter than oracle bones and bamboo slips, then the benefits it brings are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Fusu hurriedly asked, "Taifu knows how to make this kind of thing called paper?"

Li Yang nodded: "Of course, but His Royal Highness still needs to ask General He Zhang for help." Now that the people are poor, this money can only be earned from the hands of the local tyrants and gentry, and this paper, once invented, should be able to make a fortune. “

Li Yang thought very clearly, the poor could not solve the problem of food and clothing, and naturally it was impossible to use paper. The local tyrants and gentry were different, they had money and knowledge, and once paper was invented, they would naturally use it to replace bulky bamboo slips.

What's more, when the rich and the gentry were accustomed to using paper, then paper-making technology could be popularized, making paper a really cheap thing, and then going to the homes of ordinary people.

At that time, with the popularization of paper, culture and knowledge can naturally be disseminated, and when the people can easily learn knowledge, there will be a certain soil for the imperial examination in the future.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Yang knew that if he wanted to make paper, he couldn't do without the help of the Shaofu, so he immediately sent Wang Zhanshi to call General He Zhang, who was the Shaofu.

It will be a young house, not only in charge of civil construction, but also in charge of the manufacture of various instruments, weapons, handicrafts, and even textiles.

It can be said that in all walks of life in the Qin State, almost all the craftsmen of the highest level are working as Shaofu.

Therefore, Li Yang had already planned to let Fusu and He Zhang, who would be the Shaofu, go to make paper together, and the paper was made, and then let the Ba family be the general agent of the country and be responsible for sales, so that it was perfect.

Perfect!

Thinking of this word, Li Yang's signature gesture of Teacher Jin Xing came to mind.

However, the world when he came here is getting farther and farther away from him, and he may never have the opportunity to go back again in this life.....

Thinking of his relatives in that world, Li Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, and a trace of sorrow hung on his face.

All this fell in Fusu's eyes, seeing that Li Yang suddenly became full of sorrow, he thought that Li Yang was worried about Daqin's current difficulties, and his heart was both moved and embarrassed

What is a loyal minister, this is a loyal minister.

A courtier can still worry about Daqin so much, but as the eldest son of Daqin, he was still taking care of his identity just now, and he was unwilling to take profit as a company, he was really ashamed!

Thinking of this, Fusu bowed, and said with red eyes: "Don't worry, Taifu, Fusu will definitely try his best to make paper and relieve the worries of the Qin State!"

This sentence interrupted Li Yang's thoughts, and when he looked back,, this guy is so good, why is he still crying, his eyes are red.

Hey, it's really weak, useless guy!

Seeing Li Yang's disgusted expression, Fusu was even more sad, it seems that he made Taifu sad today, and now he can only use his actions to show that he knows his mistakes.

Not long after, He Zhang, who will be the Shaofu, also came.

After giving a salute to Li Yang and Fusu, Li Yang went straight to the point and told him about things like paper.

As soon as he heard that Li Yang could make something cheaper than silk silk and lighter than oracle bones and bamboo slips, He Zhang's eyes immediately lit up, and the whole person became excited, and said in disbelief: "Zhongcheng, you ...... What you're talking about is true, really as thin as silk, but cheaper than silk?"

Li Yang said disapprerovingly: "Not only is it cheaper than silk silk, but in fact, its cost is lower than that of bamboo slips!"

Call.....

When He Zhang heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Although it was only a simple description of a few sentences, he knew that he could have a hunch of the significance of this kind of thing called paper.

The early writing was engraved on the oracle bone and the bell tripod, due to the limitations of its materials, it was difficult to spread widely, so until the Yin Shang period, there were only more than 100 people in the upper class who mastered the writing, which greatly limited the spread of culture and ideas, and all this was not changed until the appearance of bamboo slips.

Although the emergence of bamboo slips has made words and knowledge more people master, because the production of bamboo slips is complicated, it needs to be cut, cut, baked (finished), written, drilled, and knitted, so the cost is still high, which greatly restricts the spread of words and ideas.

Now, if paper can be made cheaper and lighter than bamboo slips, it will obviously play a major role in promoting the spread of culture and ideas again.

Thinking of this, He Zhang praised excitedly: "Zhongcheng, if you can really create this kind of thing called paper, then this is a major invention in the history of human civilization!"

This time, Li Yang was very surprised.

Papermaking is not only one of the four great inventions of China, but also a major invention in the history of human civilization, which is known to later generations.

However, what surprised Li Yang was that he didn't expect He Zhang to just listen to the description of paper casually, and he could actually think of the role that paper can play in human civilization, which is a bit impressive.

You must know that after the invention of papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty in history, a long time passed, and it was not until the Jin Dynasty that paper began to become the dominant writing material, and silk was completely eliminated. In the beginning, people did not see the significance of paper, of course, a big reason is that the paper that was made in the first place was not very suitable for writing.

It seems that this chapter is not simple.

Li Yang glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "What General He Zhang said is extremely true, if we can make paper, it will be of great significance. Not only will Your Majesty make great contributions for us, but future generations will definitely not forget us, and it must be because of this papermaking technique that we will be famous in history!

When He Zhang heard this, his face was even more excited.

Leaving a name in history, how many people are wishing in their lives?

Life is like a white horse, passing by in an instant. What love, what gold treasure, what fame and status, will eventually disappear with the passing of people, and there will be no trace of you in the world.

And if it is through papermaking, it can leave a name in history, isn't it a kind of self-proof, proving that I have been here in this world. You see, there are still traces of me in this world.....

Thinking of this, He Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't wait to ask: "Zhongcheng, please also ask Zhongcheng to teach this papermaking technique!"

......

On that day, Li Yang stayed in the palace for half a day.

The papermaking technique was told in detail to He Zhang and Fusu.

Papermaking, for later generations, is very simple. It is nothing more than two key conditions, one is the tools and instruments of papermaking, and the other is the process of papermaking.

Regarding the tools and instruments for papermaking, Li Yang could only draw a rough appearance according to his memory, and then explained their functions in detail.

Although it is not comprehensive, it is obviously not difficult for the general to make these tools.

Then there is the process of papermaking, the main steps such as pulping, copying, drying, processing - a detailed explanation, He Zhang copied it together, and then this matter is almost over, and the rest depends on them to go back to the Shaofu and the craftsmen to think and try by themselves.

As for Li Yang, he doesn't want to work hard in everything, he also believes that the papermaking technique is explained so clearly, if it can't be made as a Shaofu, then it will not be a Shaofu.

You know, they represent the highest level of craftsmanship in the Qin Kingdom.

In the next few days, Fusu also gave up studying, and directly devoted himself to Jiangzuo Shaofu, and He Zhang was tinkering with papermaking.

Li Yang, on the other hand, was busy with the implementation of the new law.

The reform of the new law is on the right track, as long as he reviews the law revised by the Imperial Governor's Office, and points out any inappropriateness, if it is proper, it will be stamped and sent to all counties and counties in the world for implementation, which is not too tiring.

In a flash, half a moon passed....

The new decree was also basically transmitted by the messenger to all parts of Daqin.

Wherever the new decree went, the people cheered and rushed to tell each other, and the world was full of joy.

Many of the people who had been imprisoned for sitting together were also released on the day the new law arrived.

In the past half a month, people in the entire Great Qin world are all talking about the new law, and at the same time, Li Yang's name is also deeply remembered by every people......
