The Emperor repeatedly emphasized the greatness of the ancestors, emphasizing that people should revere the ancestors rather than worship the gods.

For this reason, there are even wild words that are contrary to the eyes of ordinary people, such as the use of the mandate of heaven, the divine right of man, and the order of business is greater than that of the emperor and God.

The people, princes, etc., are not very acceptable, but the ministers can.

Why?

Because they know more about the things of the world, and they have more knowledge.

And the greatest thing about our ancestors is wisdom and knowledge!

The emergence of paper, which is incomparably convenient and cheap, has undoubtedly brought the possibility of the dissemination and popularization of knowledge.

Everyone can understand the knowledge and wisdom of the ancestors, and realize that if the human race wants to grow, it needs to rely on its own hands, not pray to the heavens, and such a world is probably the world that the king expects.

Many years later, some people praised a person for knowing how to learn more than he learned.

The knowledge learned is enough to be carried by five carriages, so how many words are there in the books of five carriages?

Ask, a volume of bamboo slips is 25 centimeters long, 2 centimeters wide, and 5 centimeters high, in which there are three crosses, and the carriage is two meters long, two meters wide, and half a meter deep.

This is a simple math problem, and the answer should be more than 100,000 or 200,000 words.

So all of you here are rich in learning.

But if the bamboo slips are replaced with paper, the text that can be carried rises geometrically, which is the huge gap between paper and bamboo slips.

The ministers realized that with paper, the dissemination of knowledge and information could be greatly accelerated, which was of great significance to the development of the Great Merchants, and even played a significant role in the possible war.

They even thought of something more serious.

The reason why the king appointed the ministers and used talents from the slaves and commoners was criticized was that there were uneven among the ministers, and there were indeed not many talented people?

Now the big merchants have to rely on the aristocracy, and they can't offend the nobles too harshly, isn't it because there are many nobles?

There are talents among the common people, but only one talent can be produced among tens of thousands of people, and the nobility is different, and one out of more than a dozen people can be produced.

The same is true of the officials in the court, why are many of the officials in the court now inherited from father to son, from generation to generation?

Because they pass on knowledge.

This is something that the ministers dare not think of, at this time the nobles and princes have great power, in addition to land and origin, that is, the knowledge in their hands.

Prior to this, conservative courtiers such as Yang Ren in the court did not want the king and the princes and nobles to completely tear their faces, for no other reason, the world of politics and politics depended on them, and it was easy to pull eggs in their steps.

When the official system changed to the six-ministry system, Yang Ren was even more worried.

Many new official positions were added to the six ministries, but there were few people who had the knowledge and ability to hold these official positions, so they had to condescend to the nobles and princes and put on a polite and virtuous corporal posture.

But what if there is paper?

If you can train a large number of officials on your own, even if you just know how to read and hyphenate words, you can reduce a lot of trouble.

If officials are selected from among these people, they will inevitably be a group of talents, and after ten or twenty years, where do you need to take into account the princes and nobles?

The ministers were quite excited, all the problems were solved, and even laid a solid foundation for the future of the big merchants.

Yang Ren praised: "Old Uncle Wang is comparable to the ancient sages!"

Jizi shook his head, although they are all Uncle Wang, there is no difference, but in fact, it is Bigan who invented paper.

It's nothing to just pretend to be down in front of the ministers, but he can't afford such praise.

Miko was entrusted by Bigan to bear the title of inventor of paper in order not to distress the king, but he could tell whose credit it was.

Others can not know, he must be clear for the rest of his life.

This is Bigan's trust in him, and it is also the trust that King Xuan has in him.

Jizi said: "Dr. Yang is going to rest tomorrow, so let's take advantage of today to use this paper to deal with more government affairs!"

When everyone heard this, yes, the business mattered, and the paper matter was said later.

At this time, Chonghou Hu suddenly said: "Your Majesty shouldn't know that Uncle Wang invented paper, right?"

In fact, Bei Bohou doesn't have to deal with political affairs, he just has to be idle all day long, but it does not prevent him from entering and leaving the hall to solve the doubts of the ministers.

Ji Zi nodded, the king of the three days, he didn't have a chance to admonish.

Chonghou Hu said: "Paper is the important weapon of the country, Your Majesty will definitely attach importance to it, tomorrow is the time for Your Majesty to go to court, if we wait for the paper as a load, on the court." ”

When everyone heard this, they stroked their beards one after another: "What Bei Bohou said is extremely true!"

Just now, the ministers were just trying to write, but now at Chonghou Hu's suggestion, they are directly using paper to deal with official business.

The effort to write one word on the bamboo slip is enough to write ten words on the paper, and everyone is racing against time in order to deal with political affairs before the rest, of course, how to hurry and how to come.

The more I wrote, the more I felt that this paper was easy to use.

Xin Jia even wrote, with an intoxicated expression, and after dealing with the matter at hand, he suddenly thought that his rest would be seven days later.

What did Humuri do? In the past, I had nothing to do in Beihai, and I had enough fun in the mountains.

Idleness is idleness, do what you like.

Xin Jia decided to write on paper, such a good paper, it would be a waste not to use it for writing.

Yang Ren's pen is like a divine help, and the pen is a dragon, fortunately.

There is even spare time to compare with colleagues to see who writes well.

There are good and bad words, and I couldn't tell the difference between them before.

Because in the past, it was basically written on bamboo slips, and the pieces of wood were so big that they were not easy to play, and the tortoiseshell inscriptions, not to mention, were not written, but engraved.

Now, the yellow paper made of hemp as the main material, although it is not as good as the white paper made by a bunch of finishing technology in the future, but it is very beautiful to write freely and comfortably, and sprinkle an official document.

Compared with each other, Yang Ren gradually felt that something was wrong.

Why is your writing different from mine?

Shouldn't it be written like that?

You this is a typo!

Pull it down, you're the typo!

My word teacher Cheng Fu said!

I'm a teacher of Yi Yin!

I still learn from Cangjie!

Problems that are not on wooden bamboo slips become problems on paper.

In the past, the strokes were not clear, and the incomprehensible jumped over, and generally understood what the meaning was, and it was fine.

What to do?

Yang Ren fell into deep thought, just tomorrow to rest, idle at home, ponder and ponder while cultivating his body!

With paper, the writing is fast, the efficiency of administration is greatly increased, and the government affairs are actually handled in advance.

However, because the bamboo slips were replaced with paper, the car used to hold the bamboo slips before was a little out of place.

So, Shang Rong found a copper plate, and finally placed the paperwork on the plate.

The faces of the ministers are a little weird, in the past, the palace was a few cars of bamboo slips, but now it has become a plate of paper, but it....

Chonghou Hu said again: "Tomorrow I will use paper to play, Your Majesty will be surprised, this thing is really the treasure of the society!"
