Chapter 14 The hundred officials were surprised, and Zhao Si was promoted again

Great Qin unified the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations, and his martial arts must surpass every king in the past.

As for Bunji...... In fact, objectively speaking, in addition to the selfish desires such as the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin and the Afang Palace, the First Emperor did a lot of infrastructure construction during his reign.

These are also the merits of cultural governance, but these have been deliberately ignored by well-intentioned people.

Driving and parking......

Li Si began to gather hundreds of officials accompanying him, and during the great tour of the world, everything was simple.

Moreover, the content of the court discussion was mainly papermaking and printing, not those cumbersome etiquette.

Zhao Si took advantage of the preparation time to continue to practice the printing of engravings.

The first batch of paper sent was not a lot, but it was definitely enough for hand practice.

After a tedious passage, the ministers were gathered in an open place in the mountains.

Zuo Xiang Li Si is the leader, Gongzi Hu Hai has his own faction, Zhao Gao, Meng Yi, Shusun Tong, Cheng Miao and even hundreds of officials stand still.

The ministers were surprised, under normal circumstances, on the way, the first emperor was in the middle of the office, and the edict officials were also privately dispatched, except for special circumstances, they would not stop.

Even if a court meeting is to be held, in most cases, it will not be held until the convoy stops at the palace.

Today's incident happened suddenly, and it can be said that there is no preparation at all, but as soon as the court discussion begins, whether it is good or bad, there will be something big, and everyone guesses in their hearts.

The First Emperor was accompanied by Zhao Gao, and all the officials saluted.

Although the occasion is relatively simple, etiquette is indispensable.

After looking around at the hundred officials, the First Emperor did not make a fool of himself, and spoke directly.

"Zhao Si entered!"

Zhao Si prepared for a long time, holding a pile of paper, and behind him, there were subordinate craftsmen and craftsmen to carry all kinds of tools needed for printing.

There are all kinds of things, and the officials can't figure out what the situation is for a while.

Seeing that Zhao Si had already entered, knowing that Zhao Si was ready, the first emperor said: "The major affairs of the country, with martial arts, the mandate of heaven and Qin, three kinds of immortal grains, and five grains are abundant, and now there is a good fortune, there is a paper-making technique, the art of printing, the convenience of writing, the cost is several times cheaper than the bamboo slips, there is no need to copy the seal carving, in an instant, it can be printed into a book, there is no worry about reading in the world, where a household and a Qin law, just around the corner, compared with the past, more convenient than a thousand times. Zhao Shilang! ”

"The minister is here!"

The monarch and the ministers asked and answered, and the ministers suddenly had something to do with Zhao Si, this kid is close to His Majesty, and it is no wonder that the big guys who are going to hold a court meeting do not know.

Ay? Why do you say again?

The eyes of the audience all converged on Zhao Si with the opening of the First Emperor's mouth, and all eyes were on him.

"And here, print a Qin law!" The First Emperor spoke.

Zhao Si did not hesitate, and sent craftsmen and subordinates to prepare for the work and personally start printing.

The ministers all watched with curiosity as a group of people fiddled with these things.

Paper? Well? Paper doesn't look like this.

In the pre-Qin period, paper was just another name for silk, not that the concept of paper did not exist in the pre-Qin period.

What is the copper plate for?

Write Qin Law?

I didn't bring a pen with me......

Everyone looked at it for a long time and didn't find a brush.

Zhao Si has printed it several times, not to mention re-practicing it several times during the preparation period.

Now it can be regarded as a master, and this time the printing is on white paper.

After all, it's a court discussion, in addition to practicality, it also has to be a little more high-end.

The copper plate was printed, and after it was removed, the ministers exclaimed.

I saw that the dense handwriting had already appeared on the paper between this printing and lifting.

Baiguan is not a fool, the principle of engraving printing is also very simple, and the principle of seals, the ministers are surprised that it can be so convenient.

How many words do you have on this dense piece of paper?

At least a few hundred words? It usually takes half an hour just to copy it on a bamboo slip.

And now, it only takes a moment!

The ministers were still surprised, and Zhao Si was still printing.

In addition to the preparatory work, from the beginning of printing to the printing of a Qin law, it will only take about ten minutes, and this time will continue to decrease with proficiency.

After the printing was over, waiting for the ink to dry, Zhao Si took out a cutter and personally cut it neatly into pages.

Later, the craftsman used braiding thread to drill holes for it and fix it into a book.

After being tightened, a paper volume of Qin Law was born in this era.

"Your Majesty, it's done!"

Zhao Si held Qin Lu high, and he was inexplicably a little emotional in his heart.

This is the first paper book in the true sense of this era, and if it can survive for posterity, it will be a priceless treasure!

This kind of thing was born in my own hands!

The sense of honor of history is blowing in the face, and looking at future generations, this is a milestone in the development of civilization.

Zhao Gao took the book and circulated it to the ministers!

Although Li Si has seen it, as the head of the hundred officials, the process still has to go through.

Then it was circulated downward with Li Si as the head,

"A Qin law was printed in an instant, and the handwriting is still so clear?" Feng Zheng sighed.

And Cheng Miao, who created the official book and was trained by the First Emperor as the next important minister, also expressed his admiration.

"This law is very good, in the past, a Qin law, but it needs to be hugged, it has to weigh dozens of catties, and now there is only one volume left in his hand!"

The focus of the ministers was nothing more than clarity and weight and printing speed, and the bamboo slips copied by hand were simply completely hanged.

Shusun Tong has already seen it, and this will still be immersed in emotion, Confucius is particular about teaching without class, and Confucianism is also the most down-to-earth knowledge in this era, Shusun Tong really thinks a lot.

The shock of this kind of scientific and technological reform is not for a while.

If I am the three princes, I will make it promote the world...... Thinking about it, Shusun Tong suddenly realized something and hurried out of the ranks.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, with such a sharp weapon, Your Majesty's achievements in civil governance are far superior to those of predecessors, unprecedented!"

Shusun Tong knows how to be flexible, Confucianism from the Warring States period to the Qin Dynasty to establish the doctrine is becoming more and more vigorous, Chun Yu Yue belongs to a little floating... Bring about one's own destruction.

Chun Yuyue's death is not important, what matters is that Chun Yuyue's struggle is a mess.

It is precisely because of this that Shusun Tongtong realized what Confucianism needed to become a scholar in the true sense of the word.

Baiguan was robbed by his uncle and grandson.

Although what Shusun Tong said is a bit exaggerated, but if you think about it seriously, this is a fact, a genuine credit, what can not be boasted of?

There are good sycophants, who are outrageous than what Uncle Sun Tong said, and the opening is a splendid article, saying that the first emperor has no ancients before and no one after him, and he even wants to write a poem for the first emperor on the spot.

And those who are not good at flattery also objectively evaluate the merits of these two things.

All of a sudden, everyone is in the dynasty, people, they all like to listen to good and obedient words, just don't immerse yourself in this and ignore reality, you and I praise each other, and the first emperor also has some smiles on his face.

"The one who governs the matter will be promoted to the fifth level, and the squire Zhao Si will be promoted to the second level. Ten houses, thirty ministers, thirty handmaidens, one hundred acres of fields, and one hundred gold rewards......"

The First Emperor's opening was a series of rewards.

Zhao Si's title was only promoted by two levels, and the main reason was that Zhao Si gave the credit to the craftsman.

Now Zhao Si's title has been promoted from the right Changrong to the middle change, and he is currently at the thirteenth level, only seven levels away from the apex of the twentieth level.

However, although the title was a little less because of the division of merit, the rest of the rewards were very generous to the First Emperor.

House, give!

Money, give!

Fields, give!

Slave, give!

Girl, give!

And there are many more, in addition, there are all kinds of silk and satin clothes, shoes, swords, and ritual gifts......

Just the various rewards for Zhao Si are enough to write a small composition, and the rewards are not heavy, but there is no way, who called him Zhao Si?

"Minister! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Sixie's sincerity.

The first emperor is really generous, to be honest, everything in Zhao Si's current family is rewarded by the first emperor, Zhao Si himself has no idea of buying an industry, and he doesn't want to operate property, eating and drinking, from the first emperor, the main thing is a thrift.

Now Zhao Si himself is not easy to estimate his family property, compared with the big nobles, the gap is definitely not small, but this is already something that he never dared to think of in his previous life.

For Zhao Si's reward, the ministers were not surprised, after all, it was already a public matter that Zhao Si was the closest courtier of the first emperor.

In the past, there may have been controversy about this position, some people said it was Meng Yi, some people said it was Zhao Gao, and some people said it was Li Si.

Now that the controversy is gone, no one can compare to Zhao Si.

I didn't see that Zhao Si, as a Lang official, didn't work in Lang Zhongling at all, and his office was in the palace!

However, although they knew that papermaking and printing were worthy of such rewards, there was still no lack of envy and even jealousy among the courtiers.

After all, to be honest, Zhao Si seems to have no real work so far.

What is real work? Military merit is real merit, governing the place is real merit, and Zhao Si, now it seems that it is more due to luck, and the ministers are in awe, not in awe of Zhao Si, a heartless guy, but in awe of Zhao Si's holy family.

"I will be a young mansion and make every effort to produce and print Qin Law!"

Papermaking and printing have been studied, but the production has to be handed over to the general Shaofu, and people specialize in this.

The first batch of books to be mass-produced and published was only Qin Lu.

Other books will definitely continue to be published on a large scale in the future, but it will not be clear which books will be published in a while.

This thing is indispensable to the passionate struggle of hundreds of schools, who doesn't want to publish the official promotion of what they have learned? This kind of will definitely not be taken out by the First Emperor now.

And it's useless, now the engraving has not been made much, the invention is invented, but large-scale production has to train craftsmen, organize the production line, and print Qin Law is the top priority, and Qin Law is finished, so that it is the turn of the hundred schools of thought to fight for the second round.

After a reward, the first emperor ordered a banquet to be celebrated with a meal for hundreds of civil and military officials.

There were also a variety of singing and dancing performances to celebrate.

There is no shortage of ministers who greet Zhao Si at the banquet and are familiar with each other, and Zhao Si responds one by one regardless of whether he is familiar with it or not.

There are a lot of people......

Zhao Si was able to realize that with the development of papermaking and printing, he had a certain bonus to his status.
