Chapter 21: "Stupid" and "Honest" [One Update, Ask for Recommendation]
Chen Ke straightened his back, with confidence on his face.
"Nature"
"It's just that I can't tell you the raw materials for these things."
When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and laughed.
He didn't care about that in the first place.
If there is something cheaper than bamboo slips, and thinner than silk, and easy to use, why care about raw materials?
Besides, Wang Jian believes that Chen Ke is not such a stupid person.
This material and recipe will definitely be given to the emperor.
Since it is in the hands of the emperor, it is the emperor's thing.
It's better not to be delusional about waiting for others.
"As long as you can have this thing, the old man doesn't care what this thing is made of"
"That's all your own business."
Wang Qian's words directly cut off the thoughts in the hearts of the rest of the people.
Not everyone is as smart as Wang Qian, and not everyone is as judgmental as Wang Qian.
And Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform in front of him, had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
He glanced lightly at the crowd standing in the audience.
Among the many ministers at this time, the greed in the eyes of several disappeared in a flash.
Ying Zheng sneered in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Great Qin had only been established now, the various systems would not have been perfect.
He had already sent these fools to death, how could he still keep these fools to be stupid in the court?
Ying Zheng lowered his head and looked at Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, if it is really as you said, this thing is really a good thing"
"It's my Great Qin's auspiciousness"
There was a smile in his voice: "I ordered you to make this thing, and if you can make it, you should be rewarded." ”
"The ownership of this thing should naturally belong to you."
Ying Zheng's voice fell lightly in the main hall, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for this matter.
Chen Ke slowly stepped forward, with a respectful look on his face.
"Your Majesty, this thing was originally given to the minister by the immortal god."
"At that time, the immortal in the dream also said that this is a congratulatory gift for His Majesty to become the emperor of the current generation."
"How can a minister take a congratulatory gift from an immortal to His Majesty? Isn't this a torment? ”
Chen Ke raised his head and looked at Yingzheng fixedly.
"Your Majesty will not accept this reward, and the ministers dare not accept it."
A look of curiosity flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
It seems that when Chen Ke first came up with this excuse, he thought of today's statement?
What does Chen Ke want to do?
"Oh?"
"What do you think of this thing?"
Chen Ke said solemnly as if he didn't hear the playfulness in Ying Zheng's voice.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there should be a manufacturing office under the Shaofu."
"And this manufacturing agency is making this thing."
He looked up, his voice respectful and unobtrusive.
"The minister thinks that now my Great Qin is in the ascendant, and His Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the immortals are called the contemporary emperors."
"In this way, there will definitely be no shortage of immortal things given by the immortals."
"The minister thinks that the establishment of the "Manufacturing Department" and the "Manufacturing Department" will be under the direct control of His Majesty, which is a respect and courtesy for the immortals."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and there was indeed a little joy in his heart.
This "paper" was given by the immortals, so it will definitely continue to be given in the future, which is obviously quite popular with Yingzheng.
Today's Yingzheng, although he has not gone further and further on the road of seeking immortals, he already has the idea of wanting the method of immortality.
Now that the immortals are giving away "paper", will it be the method of immortality in the future?
Ying Zheng is obviously directly aware of this possibility.
When he said, "In this case, just do what you want"
"This manufacturing department is placed under the Shaofu and is directly under my control."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment before he continued to speak: "This matter of the Manufacturing Agency, others can't start it for a while. ”
"I don't understand these things."
"Since the immortals entrusted the "paper" to their dreams and dreams, it is obvious that you have won the favor of the immortals."
"In that case, you are also the "director" of the Manufacturing Department."
Chen Kedang even took a step forward, and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, Your Majesty for ten thousand years."
"Great Qin Wannian-"
And Li Si obviously seized this opportunity and also took a step forward.
"Now that this artifact is obtained, Great Qin will definitely be able to prosper for another ten thousand years"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty 10,000 years, Great Qin 10,000 years-"
The other ministers glanced at Li Si and hated it.
How did this kid get the first time?
All of a sudden, the sound of the mountain shouting long live resounded throughout the hall.
.........
Scattered backwards
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng sat there, looking at Chen Ke with a smile.
"Let's talk about Chen Ke"
"What are you doing today when you insist on putting the paper in my name?"
Chen Ke smiled, at this time, the four skills of scoundrel and slippery, pretending to be stupid, and smirking were brought into full play.
"Oh, what did you say, Your Majesty?"
"I don't understand."
"This was originally given to His Majesty by the immortals, how can it be placed in the name of the minister?"
"Isn't the minister above the court, has he already made it clear?"
"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand the minister."
Ying Zheng smiled, pointed at Chen Ke and said angrily: "You kid, why don't you hurry up and tell me the truth?" ”
"Beware of your sins!"
Chen Ke rubbed his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty, you should know that this is the first attack I launched against Confucianism. ”
"But this thing is indeed a good thing, and it is greatly beneficial to Daqin."
Chen Ke explained: "Your Majesty, just like you. ”
"This thing is good for you in the first place."
"When large quantities of cheap paper were made, ministers used it to write folds, whether for novelty or otherwise."
"I heard that Your Majesty, you corrected several carts of bamboo slips in the previous day."
"Now that we have paper, we only need a few sheets to do it."
"Isn't that a good thing for you?"
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng's eyes with a slightly relaxed look, and immediately continued.
"However, this is indeed a very important thing for the minister."
"The usual bamboo slips are not easy to store, and they are not easy to place, and the bamboo slips are difficult to engrave, so there can be no mistakes and omissions."
"It is also much more difficult to make such a book, which is not conducive to dissemination."
"That's why Confucianism took advantage."
"But what if that's not the case?"
"What if the making of a book was simple? Isn't writing on paper much faster than on bamboo slips? ”
"In this way, the ministers will be able to control the ministers from the root, so that Confucianism will not have the strength to manage the ministers for the time being."
Ying Zheng's heart turned for a moment, looked at Chen Ke and asked, "So, are you afraid that after this purpose is exposed, Confucianism will prevent the manufacture of paper?" ”
Chen Ke nodded slightly, he seemed very sincere at this time.
He is not a group of fools like Confucianism, so he knows very well when to play stupid and when to be sincere.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Therefore, the minister can only put this thing in the name of His Majesty, so that Confucianism will not dare to act rashly."
Chen Ke patted the dragon's fart slightly: "After all, Your Majesty is so powerful, just a Confucian, how dare you offend?" ”
