Chapter 12: Paper! The First Emperor's Surprise!

"Yui!"

Suddenly bowed down to receive the order, but there was some slander in his heart.

Zhao Si, this kid is too favored by the king, how can the first emperor of the Great Patrol still worry about the other party's personal problems?

He was a lonely minister, and he once insulted the first emperor when he was conquered, and because of this, he was a little envious of Zhao Si's treatment.

It is impossible for him and the First Emperor to be so close.

After he left, only the First Emperor was left kneeling alone in the military station.

"Young...... It's good to be young. ”

……

On the other side, Zhao Si was in the big tent.

Now that the sky is dark, Zhao Si has already planned to sleep.

"Again?"

Looking at the two delicate maids in front of him again, Zhao Si was a little bit stunned.

After the intellectual wind is retreated, is this preparing to test yourself with the pure wind?

Hu Hai's attitude of wanting to have a relationship with himself is very obvious, but it is obvious that Zhao Si does not intend to have too much intersection with Hu Hai, although Hu Hai grasped the pain points of cadres, but Zhao Si still chose to overcome.

"What? This time it was sent by His Majesty? ”

Then you're welcome!

Zhao Si was overjoyed after getting an accurate reply again.

The First Emperor must have no reason to refuse.

"Your Majesty misunderstood me......" Zhao Si, looking at the two delicate maids in front of him, sighed.

"But I work hard every day for the state, and I deserve it."

I can't care about that much right now.

The lights went out, Zhao Si fit up, and the clouds surged overnight......

The rest of the road was as boring as ever.

I walked for two days in a row, and I didn't encounter anything worth paying attention to in the middle, no way, after all, I haven't left the customs yet, Guanzhong is the base camp of the Qin State, the foundation is located, and the country is the department, even if you want to do things, you can't get Guanzhong.

Frame top...... Zhao Si responded to Hu Hai's accosting boredly, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead.

Summer has come to an end, but the sun is still blazing.

It was noon now, and the hot air was steaming, making Zhao Si hot and sleepy, and his spirit was sluggish.

The first emperor's drive will naturally not be troubled by the hot weather, there is Bingjian inside, the space is small, cold, proper car air conditioning, after all, no one can suffer the emperor.

Zhao Si wanted to go in and rub the air conditioner, which would be because of the direction of travel, the sun was directly facing him, and there was no cover at all.

It's a pity that Zhao Si is a driver, so he has to drive, and he can't go in to blow the air conditioner.

"Fatigue driving is not advisable...... Zhao Si sighed, he was really hot enough, and he was really sleepy, but as the main driver, Zhao Si couldn't sleep.

was about to find a way to refuse Hu Hai's wooing, but unexpectedly, a cavalry happened to deliver the news here.

"Zhao Shilang, your letter!"

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, he has no relatives and no friends, who has nothing to write to himself?

until they saw something in the hands of the horseman.

It's not bamboo slips.

It's paper!

Zhao Si was shocked in his heart.

The cavalry handed over the letter and package in his hand to Zhao Si.

Zhao Si opened it slightly and looked at it, and his heart was settled.

All right!

Finally, there is a legitimate reason to go in and rub the air conditioner!

"Your Majesty! The minister has something to report! Zhao Si impatiently called out to His Majesty the Beloved First Emperor.

"What?" Inside the drive, the voice of the First Emperor was heard, slightly sleepy.

The First Emperor now has the habit of taking a nap, and Zhao Si knew that the First Emperor was sleeping as soon as he heard it.

"Great joy! Your Majesty, will you allow your ministers to come in and elaborate? Zhao Si was ready to go in and blow the air conditioner with the package in his hand.

In the drive, the half-lying First Emperor Wen Sheng's face was full of sleepiness, but Wen Sheng still got up helplessly, and slightly tidied up his clothes and his own demeanor.

"Come in......" the First Emperor sighed.

Before he finished saying three words, Zhao Si had already pouted his ass and poked his head in.

As soon as my head poked in, I was greeted by coolness.

Within the drive, the three ice cans are continuously emitting cool air, one mile and one away, which can be described as two worlds.

Zhao Si shook his spirit, and then easily chose a position closer to Bingjian and knelt down.

The First Emperor half-squinted at the package that Zhao Si had put aside, and rubbed his eyebrows.

slept well, and let this kid disturb his dreams.

"Anyway, what's the happy event?" The First Emperor spoke angrily.

"Paper! Paper is made! ”

Zhao Si opened the package, and inside, the white hemp paper and papyrus were thick and thick, and the area was relatively large because it had not been cut.

After that, Zhao Si handed over the letter of the Mo disciple, that is, the summary of the cost and performance test report of the three types of paper, to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor first glanced at the thick wad of paper, then took the letter and read it word by word.

The first impression that catches my eye is that it is detailed!

Maybe it's because of a different writing medium? In short, on a large piece of white paper, it is densely packed with words.

Compared with the previous introduction, there is no difference between the behavior of the disciples of the Mo family and the number of water words, and the First Emperor has some bad premonitions for no reason.

People's desire to express is very strong, to be honest, the ancestors wrote concisely and powerfully, in fact, and the preciousness of the writing carrier has a lot to do with it.

Looking at the last few thousand years of history, we can actually find that from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing dynasties, basically the length of literary creation gradually increased with the renewal and improvement of the writing medium.

From the initial few hundred words, to thousands of words, to tens of thousands of words, to hundreds of thousands of words and even hundreds of thousands of words in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Even in the age of the Internet, millions of words have become the norm.

If it's not so much trouble, who wouldn't want to express it perfectly?

But for the First Emperor, this may not be a good thing.

Skipping most of the non-nutritious content and descriptions, the First Emperor's focus was on the cost of paper and the speed of production, as well as the production cycle.

"The cost of blank paper is still a bit high...... But fortunately, it can also be mass-produced. ”

"Hemp paper has been able to be bound into a book to meet the daily needs of book making."

"Straw paper is not too inconvenient for writing, but it is not easy to preserve, and the writing effect is slightly worse."

The First Emperor secretly calculated what kind of production efficiency could be achieved if Daqin put the Shaofu into full production.

In addition to the three pieces of paper, the disciples of the Mo family also sent engravings.

This group of guys can be regarded as showing off a wave of manual ability, the engraving is cast in copper, and the engraving content is Qin Lu.

Because the Qin law is extremely complicated and there are a huge number of legal provisions, there are 67 bronze engravings sent here.

The main purpose is to allow Zhao Si to directly test the effect of engraving printing on three pieces of paper.

Of course, the sixty-seven bronze engravings are not included in the package, otherwise the weight alone is enough for one person to move.

The First Emperor pondered for a long time.

Paper! Engraving!

It's all there! Zhao Si confidently promised himself what he promised, and now it is time to verify it.

The First Emperor rubbed the three kinds of paper in his hand slightly, the white paper was the most, and the straw paper rubbed the fucking slag.

One sheet of each of the three pieces of paper is drawn.

"Grind ink!"

When Zhao Si heard this, he knew that the First Emperor wanted to try the writing effect of the paper with his own hands, and he might be lucky enough to see the First Emperor perform his talents, so he immediately began to study ink.

The First Emperor raised his pen and groaned, and within a moment, Zhao Si had already studied the ink.

After a long time, the first emperor seemed to think of something, and handed the brush to Zhao Si.

"Minister?"

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and resisted, it was not that he didn't want to be a copyist, but he didn't have this foundation, his mouth was splendid, and he had a belly of straw in his stomach, which was easy to laugh and be generous.

Besides, Zhao Si doesn't need to be a copyist to surprise the public.

However, looking at the irresistible eyes of the First Emperor, Zhao Si still took the brush.

"Write what?" Zhao Si asked humbly.

"Just write as you like," the corners ......of the First Emperor's mouth slightly hooked.

If I remember correctly, when Zhao Si's calligraphy was very poor and he was criticized by himself, Zhao Si said that the problem was in the bamboo slips?

Well......

In the end, Zhao Si did not choose to be a copyist, but wrote a few sentences in "Five Worms" on three pieces of paper.

The handwriting is still the same as that of a dog......

The words on the linen paper on the white paper can barely be distinguished, and the words on the papyrus can no longer be seen, and they are ink balls at all.

"emmmm......" Zhao Si put down the brush slightly embarrassed.

"Doesn't it mean that you can write well when you make paper?" The First Emperor glanced at it, and the smile on his face could no longer be contained.

"The pen and ink used by the ministers are all mortal, how precious is the pen and ink used by His Majesty? Wild boars can't eat fine chaff......" Zhao Si sneered.

It can be seen that Zhao Si's pen is unstable and the force is uneven, which will cause such a situation.

There is no big problem with paper, but Zhao Si has a big problem.

The first emperor pushed aside the three sheets written by Zhao Si, and then spread out a blank piece of paper and wrote it.

Eight large characters jumped on the page.

Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!

The handwriting is sharp and powerful, but the structure is solid and calm.

"Good!"

The First Emperor looked at the three big characters on the white paper and expressed his heartfelt admiration.

Very good! Much better than bamboo slips!

"Go print a batch of engravings!"

Paper! The paper, which is like a silk thread, really came out.

If there is no problem with the engraving, then some of the previous problems can be solved.

"Yui!"

Zhao Si received the order and immediately held a pile of hemp paper to print with engraving.

When Zhao Si left, there was only one person left in the first emperor.

The big characters that Zhao Si dog crawled on were displayed on the case, and the first emperor folded three pieces of paper together and placed them on the side of the case.

After that, his eyes were fixed on his masterpiece.

Commanded by Heaven...... Is it longevity?

The First Emperor laughed for no reason, and in a blink of an eye, he was already forty-nine years old.

In autumn, it is about to pass its birthday and enter the 50th mark.

The 50th birthday of the First Emperor...... It's not far off.

Even when such an important date was approaching, the First Emperor was still in the Great Patrol and inspected the place.

"Forty is not confused, and fifty knows the destiny of ......"

The First Emperor shook his head......

Does Fifty Know the Destiny of Heaven?
