Increase the efficiency of transcribing laws and decrees by more than 10 times!

When Zhao Tuo's words came out, even the first emperor who had always believed in him couldn't help but beat his eyelids.

The other ministers were even more dumbfounded.

More than ten times more efficient?

Zhao Shaofu, wouldn't this be too exaggerated?

The ministers were suspicious in their hearts, but after what happened just now, no one would be stupid enough to speak out against it on the spot, just silently staring at the young man in this hall who was calm.

After a brief period of doubt, the First Emperor's eyes were full of anticipation.

He believed in Zhao Tuo.

This son-in-law has already brought him too many incredible things.

He bowed his head and said, "Since Shaofu said that there is such a good thing, you can take it and show it to Zhuqing."

After a while, the attendant had already taken the object Zhao Tuo said from the palace gate, which was a wooden board engraved with words, and specially prepared ink.

"Your Majesty, please see, this thing is something that can improve the efficiency of copying."

Zhao Tuo's face was pale, and after asking the emperor, he ordered someone to bring a eucalyptus table and place it in the middle, and put the wooden board, ink and supporting tools on it for everyone to watch the process.

"Isn't this just a wooden board with lettering? You don't even have a pen, how can you copy it?"

In the military ranks, Qiang Yan looked puzzled.

He was not targeting Zhao Tuo, but he was confused in his heart, and with Qiang's wisdom and attainments in writing, it was difficult to connect the things in front of him with the improvement of the administrative efficiency of copying.

Zhao Tuo replied while fixing the engraving: "Qiang You don't need to worry, you don't need to write about this matter."

"No pen? And that makes copying more efficient?"

Qiang's eyes widened, and he didn't believe it.

In addition to him, Li Si, Wang Xuan, Kui Xiang and other ministers were thoughtful.

Even the First Emperor on the emperor's couch raised his eyebrows slightly, looking like he had guessed one or two.

With the advent of this lettering board, coupled with the matching ink and paper, the idea has come out.

"General Qiang just look at it."

Zhao Tuo raised his head and smiled at Qiang.

General Qiang is innocent-minded, but he is a wonderful person, if he is not there, the atmosphere will be much duller.

In full view of everyone, Zhao Tuo first fixed the engraving plate, and then brushed the plate twice with water, and when the plate absorbed water and wetted it, he took a special round brush and dipped it in ink, and evenly painted it on the plate.

Because he had done experiments before, Zhao Tuo was familiar with it, and the amount of ink he applied on the plate was moderate, and there were no accidents such as ink accumulation.

Zhao Tuo raised his head and spoke loudly to the First Emperor and the ministers.

"Your Majesty, it's time to see what this thing can be used for!"

All the ministers and generals in the hall stared with bated breath, even though many nimble minds had vaguely guessed the usefulness of this object, but they still craned their necks to see that magical scene.

Even the First Emperor, who had always been calm, couldn't help but stand up, staring closely at the ink-soaked engraving plate in the hall and the paper in Zhao Tuo's hand.

Zhao Tuo spread the paper on the plate, then took a brush and lightly brushed the back of the paper.

As the brush in his hand moved, the yellowed paper appeared with formed words.

In just a few seconds, the entire sheet of paper was full of text.

Zhao Tuo took off the paper and held it up to show it to the First Emperor and the ministers.

"Your Majesty, there are more than fifty words engraved on this wooden board, and it is only necessary to work on it with paper and ink, but it can be printed on paper in an instant, and there is not a single typo. Wouldn't that be quicker than having someone copy it with a pen yourself?"

"This is what the minister wants to offer to His Majesty and Daqin, this thing is called the withering plate, and this technique is called printing. The combination of printing and paper is enough to make every decree of His Majesty spread word for word throughout the world!"

In Zhao Tuo's clear voice.

The ministers in the palace were already in a state of shock.

They saw that the piece of paper in Zhao Shaofu's hand,

It was printed with neat words, and looking at the content on it, it was one of the Qin laws.

"There are really words."

The Qiang's mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg.

Wang Juan's eyes stared at the paper full of words in Zhao Tuo's hand.

Li Si kept swallowing his saliva, he had already given Zhao Tuo's papermaking skills a high evaluation, but he didn't expect that this son would be able to make something even more amazing.

Typography!

This is something that has never appeared in this world before, and it is a technology that is unimaginable to people who have spent nearly a thousand years.

"A good streak, a good printing, Zhao Shaofu's printing technique, I am very happy."

The First Emperor was delighted, and with his knowledge, he could see what effect this printing would produce when combined with cheaper bark paper.

After being happy, the First Emperor's gaze fell on Wang Juan, and he opened his mouth a little coldly.

"Prime Minister Zuo, how do you feel about the paper and printing techniques made by Zhao Shaofu?"

Feeling the coldness in the emperor's words, and the playful eyes of the princes in the palace, Wang Juan's scalp was already numb.

He bowed his head and said, "Zhao Shaofu has already created a way to deal with the paper defects that the minister thought before, and the convenience of this paper and printing is enough to replace the slips. Bark paper and printing are really the art of a strong country."

Saying that, Wang Juan actually bowed his hand slightly in the direction of Zhao Tuo, indicating his attitude.

Zhao Tuo returned the salute, Wang Juan is not a particularly pedantic person, and now he knows to show favor to him.

It's just a pity that it's too late.

With the advent of bark paper and block printing, coupled with the wonderful use of orpiment, all the words that Wang Juan said before became a joke, coupled with Zhao Tuo's previous hints, the first emperor must have already planted a thorn in his heart.

The future of this left prime minister is afraid that it is bleak.

The pilgrimage meeting came to an end.

The First Emperor began the final summary.

"I want to unify the writing of the world, and this papermaking and printing are both great things, and they are just right to use."

"Before I ordered Tingwei, Taishi Ling, and CRRC Fu Ling, three people to follow the example of Zong Zhou's "History Chapter", sort out more than 3,000 characters of Qin Seal, and delete the complicated and simplified them to make them a model for Qin characters."

"Now that there is paper and printing technology donated by the Shaofu, after the model text written by Sanqing is written, it will be used as a plate, printed on paper, and distributed to the thirty-six counties, so that the officials of each county and the children of the school can practice it!"

Listening to the order given by the First Emperor, Zhao Tuo felt a burst of satisfaction.

Nearly 1,000 years ahead of schedule, coupled with the bark papermaking technology that was 300 years ahead of schedule, these two things will play an important role in the process of writing the same script of the Qin State, and will also greatly improve the efficiency of the entire bureaucratic and administrative system of the Qin State.

[In view of the general environment,

On the other hand, after the popularization of paper, it can also be conducive to the dissemination of classic literature, and it will certainly play a great role in the promotion of culture and education.

"Those Confucian scholars have become old-fashioned opponents of new things, I wonder how they will react when they know the effect of this combination of printing and paper?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo had a playful smile on his face.

……

Doctor's Palace.

When the news of what happened in the court reached here, the entire Academy Doctor was in an uproar.

"Typos can be corrected with orpiment, this is no longer a problem!"

"Bark paper, compared with hemp paper, has reduced the price of paper, and now it is much lower than that of simple paper!"

"The combination of block printing and paper is far better than manual copying, if it is used in the classics......

The eyes of many doctors were red, especially Dr. Zhuzi, who had a good impression of paper before, and some even raised their arms and shouted, "We should go to visit Zhao Shaofu."

"Go together, go together!"

In the call, even many Confucian doctors also joined in.

In the corner of the school palace, Chun

Yu Yue and Qi withered Bi's face was ugly.

Chun Yuyue whispered, "I didn't expect Zhao Tuo to really solve the defects of the paper, but I underestimated him. Prime Minister Zuo is now refusing to visit us, and Zhao Tuo has prepared things in advance before the court meeting, I'm afraid that there will be a traitor among us!"

Qi Wei smiled bitterly and looked at the group of doctors who were going out, especially the doctor standing at the front.

He shook his head and said, "After this incident, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to stay in this doctor's palace any longer, so it is better to resign from the doctor's position and return."

"Return?"

Chun Yuyue's face turned pale.

At the same time, in the corner of the school palace, a young man wearing a Confucian crown was staring at them coldly.
