Chapter 46: The Qin Dynasty Has Paper?!
"We'll take a closer look at the bodies."
"Seventy-two of them!"
"Half of them are old and weak women and children, and some are old soldiers in the army!"
The Black Ice Leader replied truthfully.
"Murder?"
The First Emperor's face sank.
"Have these bodies been identified?"
He asked.
The Black Ice Leader shook his head and said, "No identity has been found. ”
"These bodies were all disfigured after death, and they are not recognizable."
"The soldiers are only recognizable by their clothing."
"But it was found in the arms of one of the old men in armor."
The Black Ice Leader took out a delicate piece of jade from his bosom.
The First Emperor took the jade bi and looked at it carefully.
Ning said: "The things of Qi Kingdom." ”
"Yes!"
"This thing is indeed the craftsmanship of the Qi country."
The Black Ice Leader nodded.
The First Emperor slowly stood up.
He said in a deep voice: "Inform the soldiers of the Black Ice Terrace." ”
"Keep an eye on Hu Hai, he will truthfully report any troubles."
"And transfer manpower from the army to control Qi Yuanshan and others."
"This matter must be kept secret."
"It is announced to the public that Qi Yuanshan and others need to go to the area of Longxi County to solve the problem of displaced people."
The leader of the Black Ice Terrace heard this.
Nodding his head, "Yes!" ”
......
Outside the city of Xianyang.
A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman holds a basin in his arms.
Behind him were more than a dozen carriages, slowly coming towards Xianyang City.
Inside the carriage, there were all kinds of goods such as silk, pearls, and even corn.
"I've got a cornucopia in my hands."
"You can't make a fortune!"
The merchant slowly sat into the carriage at this time, and gave his order.
More than ten carriages were heading towards Xianyang City in front.
Mighty.
......
Today.
Ying Qi has nothing to do.
is to take Xu Chu to prepare to go to the city for a walk.
After all, he didn't have much time to rest during this time.
Now I finally have free time.
Naturally, I can't stay in the house and live in fear.
"Childe."
"There aren't many vendors on both sides of this street."
Xu Chu looked around and said softly.
Ying Qi heard this.
Nodding.
said: "At the time of the Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony, the status of the merchants of the Qin State was extremely high. ”
"After all, these businessmen are needed to facilitate the flow of goods in various countries and make economic development between each other."
"It's just that after Great Qin unified the world, the territories of all countries were under the jurisdiction of Great Qin, so the circulation of goods was also more convenient."
"And these merchants have too much wealth in their hands."
"As a result, the merchant was jealous of the court."
"Therefore, it began to emphasize agriculture and suppress business."
"But that being said."
"But businessmen still have a certain status in Daqin."
For these things, Ying Qi can be described as a treasure.
As his words fell.
Xu Chu nodded.
His eyes involuntarily fell on the stall of a merchant on the side.
When he saw that what was placed in it was a crystal clear pearly rash.
Suddenly I lost interest.
In his eyes, these pearls were useless.
The only thing that can get into his eyes is armor, or a blade.
Wander along the way.
The two of them soon came to a shop.
The merchants of Daqin generally walked the streets and alleys to sell their goods.
Very few people choose to open a shop.
This is not only because of the excessive overhead, but also because it requires a certain amount of contacts to be able to do so.
After all, if you want to open a shop, you need the nod of the people above.
Ordinary businessmen, who can have such ability.
"Wan Santang?"
Ying Qi looked at the three big characters on the plaque of the shop.
frowned.
Wansan?
Why does he always feel familiar?
For a while, I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
"Childe."
"What do you think they have in their hands?"
"Seems to be...... Paper? ”
Xu Chu pointed to a few Xianyang people who had just walked out of Wansantang.
asked Ying Qi.
"General Xu."
"Paper only appeared in the Western Han Dynasty."
"And Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty improved papermaking."
"That's why paper is widely used."
"The dynasty we are in now is the Qin Dynasty."
"How could paper appear in the Qin Dynasty."
Ying Qi said to Xu Chu Science.
But the latter still said: "But the thing in their hands is indeed paper." ”
Follow the direction of Xu Chu's finger.
Win Qiton was dumbfounded.
I saw the people of Xianyang who came out of Wansantang one after another, each with a stack of papers.
Although it is wrapped in red silk.
But Ying Qi can still see at a glance that it is paper!
"I'll go!"
"Could it be that the paper did not appear in the Western Han Dynasty, but in the Qin Dynasty?!"
When Cheng Yanjin saw this scene, he suddenly exclaimed.
"Paper appeared in the Qin Dynasty."
"It doesn't make sense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his face solemn.
Ying Qi also sensed that something was wrong at this time.
took Xu Chu into the Wansan Hall.
When he saw the furnishings in Wansantang, his face changed suddenly.
This display is a little too planned.
All the products are arranged according to the category and look orderly.
"This son."
"Don't know what you need?"
"The goods we sell in Wansantang have a complete range of categories, and Bao Jun is satisfied."
With the two of them entering it.
Suddenly, a little guy greeted him.
"Oh my god."
"And the waiter!"
"So formal?!"
Wang Mang exclaimed in surprise.
Ying Qi didn't say anything, but looked around, and soon found a stack of papers not far away.
The little guy saw this scene.
Immediately introduced: "Childe, this is something unique to our Wansantang. ”
"It is sold very well in Xianyang City, and this thing is called ......"
"Paper?"
Ying Qi frowned and asked.
"Childe actually recognizes this."
"I guess I heard about it from outsiders."
"It's called jute paper."
"The texture is excellent and can be used to write words."
"It's more convenient than bamboo."
"It's cheaper than silk."
The little guy said with a smile.
"It's really paper!"
"From the point of view of craftsmanship, it is better than the paper of the Eastern Han Dynasty!"
Liu Xiu muttered to herself.
"No, no, no!"
"Is it really possible to cross in a group now?"
"I thought it would be outrageous for Xu Chu and Zhang Jiao to be able to cross over."
"Now there's a paper-making traverser."
"What's up?"
"Is there no limit to the number of crossings now?"
Wang Mang's face was bitter.
As a guy who crossed over for the second time, he really couldn't imagine that he could see so many traversers in Daqin.
The most outrageous thing is that you can still meet a guy who dares to make paper in Daqin!
