I took out a piece of enhanced rice paper from my arms, which was thinner than before. The paper was extremely flat and there were no grass stems and wheat straw. Many great scholars stood up to watch it, but they were not aware of the paper. They were scattered all over Qi and Lu, and they only heard about Zhuocao’s deeds.

It's all Li Si's credit for this paper that is so famous in Xianyang Energy. Perhaps because of Zhuocao's loss, Li Si also used the banquet to sell the straw paper bought from Zhuocao. Hey! Not to mention, he still made a small profit.

Li Si was jealous of this transaction!

He could foresee that one day the bamboo slips would be eliminated by straw paper!

While the straw paper has just come out, it must be firmly in his own hands. Then he will add the law and what he wants to play is all his words?

Since Zhuo Cao dedicated this technique to the emperor, it means that the Qin State will monopolize this technique. Those who have not approved it must not be imitated. Papermaking is complicated and cumbersome, but its operation process is not as difficult as imagined. Just give the masters some time to imitate it. Obviously, this behavior is not allowed by Qin State.

...

"Is this straw paper?"

“Yes.”

"It looks similar to silk, but not translucent?"

"The ink traces above have not dissipated, they are just...the characters are a bit ugly."

"Is this thing made of silk?"

Many great scholars came close to appreciate, but Qin Shihuang did not stop them. Even if he let these great scholars get closer, he would let them read carefully and never forget what happened today in this life. They used to ignore Qin, but in the future, these great scholars would have to kneel down and beg Qin!

Zhuo Cao presented a complete method of making paper, which was improved by Cai Hou in the future. With wheat straw, hemp, and other things, they can be made into paper. This method will greatly reduce the cost, and the Daxing of literature will no longer be just a talk. In the future, if these great Confucian clans want to spread their knowledge, they will have to use paper, and bamboo slips will be disliked.

Fusu also conducted an experiment himself, and writing on paper is actually more convenient. It is just that if you write the wrong words, it will be a little troublesome, because it is not like a bamboo slip that can be dug directly with a knife. If you write it wrong, the best way is to draw a slash. In addition, paper can be said to have all the advantages.

"This thing is not silk, but straw paper made of Zhuocao."

He was so happy to present the straw paper to Qin Shihuang. Looking at the handwriting on the paper, Qin Shihuang immediately smiled. When he saw Lian Ping's handwriting was so beautiful and timeless, he thought that Zhuo Cao's handwriting was so beautiful. Since that test paper, Qin Shihuang was very disappointed. In his opinion, the word was ugly than him. He dared to say that the plaque he mentioned was not good-looking?

However, Qin Shihuang was actually happier. The poor words written by Zhuo Cao proved that Zhuo Cao was not omnipotent. He was a human being after all, just a strange person with some wonderful ideas. People with shortcomings will actually get along better. Such people will be more convenient to use.

After careful appreciation, Qin Shihuang realized something was wrong. The quality of the paper this time was slightly rougher and not as smooth as the last time. Although it was thinner, the cost was also lower. This thickness was just right and easier to write.

Qin Shihuang gave it to the envoy casually and asked him to pass it on and slowly appreciate it.

【The Great Qin Dynasty’s Ten Thousand Years】

There are only these four words in total, which is actually enough.

Fusu touched the slightly rough paper and frowned immediately.

No, what he created was obviously not like this!

Could it be that Zhuo Cao kept his hands again?!

"After all, this straw paper can be used for writing and is easier to carry. The use of it is just to break the fishing net and break the fishing net, which can be made into paper. The cost is extremely low. Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it is not hindered."

"Good you Li Si!" After hearing Xi's words, Qin Teng couldn't sit still. "Just breaking the fishing net with broken mahjong cloth can be made into paper. Do you actually say that this paper is expensive? It costs me a hundred coins for a piece of paper. You are so treacherous!"

"I am ignorant of my words, and the Prime Minister is doing business for merchants!"

"He sold me too!"

"What a treacherous old man, shameless!"

"I'm ashamed to be with this person!"

Meng Yi did not forget to step on the side.

Li Si's face turned red, "How can you defame someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"What kind of innocence? It's clear that you sell paper at a high price!"

The blue veins on Li Si's forehead burst out and he said firmly: "Admiration cannot be considered a sale, and the affairs of scholars cannot be considered a sale!"

Li Si is also very good at the law.

The Nei Shi was so angry that his nose was smoking. He really believed Li Si's nonsense. What about cutting bamboo floating ponds and boiling enough fire... It took more than a hundred days to make paper. If it weren't for the strangeness, he wouldn't bother spending this in vain. Unexpectedly, Li Si was all bragging!

Li Si can't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River now. If he blamed him, he could only blame Fusu. Zhuo Cao hid his hand at that time to prevent Fusu from running to Xianyang again and yelling, which would ruin his major affairs. He is now showing off directly, and he will post a sign of royal characters at that time, and Fusu can't even take credit.

As a result, Li Si was cheated...

The conscience of heaven and earth!

He told the truth, but he just wanted to take out his heart. What did he do wrong and was going to suffer such a criticism?

"Ahem!"

Qin Shihuang coughed gently, and the court officials gave up. In fact, they had no malice and knew that this was just a trivial matter after all. But Li Si would mess with them on weekdays. Now it is rare that something happened to Li Si, so they naturally beat the dogs in the water. If they were at the court's time, they would definitely not be so presumptuous. But today's birthday party would be with the people, and there would be no problem.

Qin Shihuang stood up and smiled at the corner of his mouth. "My Qin law made the people reward for their merits. Zhuocao presented the country's important treasure, Yuzhou tripod, and ordered all the nine tripods to return to the Great Qin. And this potato will make our Great Qin add auspiciousness and give great kindness to millions of Guizhou heads."

He paused, and the Qin court was silent for a moment.

They could all hear that Qin Shihuang was about to reward him!

"I have also presented this papermaking technique, and it is indeed useful. In time, it will be able to replace the bamboo slips and make my Qin Daxing literary affairs. The inner history!"

"I'm here."

"How is Zhuo Cao now?"

"Zhuo Cao, a native of Jingyang, was 19 years old. He was appointed as an official and a local villager."

"Nineteen..." Qin Shihuang nodded thoughtfully, "and he promoted his title to the five major officials and gave him six horses to the army!"

"only!"

The inner history consciously retreated, but he couldn't bear it.

What does it mean? Just be appointed as the five doctors?

The five major doctors, who reached the ninth level, are already high-ranking titles. But how could the merits made by Zhuo Cao only reach the five major doctors? The title of Qin is indeed precious, but it is not so stingy. It is not an exaggeration to give it to the right governor!

As for sending six horses to the horse, would he lack the financial resources of Zhuocao?

Such a reward is the first to express dissatisfaction!

"Report to you! Such a reward is too unfair!"

Xi's personality is extremely tough, and he also highly praised Qin Lu. Since Qin Shihuang said that he would reward merits, how could he only give one of the five doctors? If it spreads out, he would be ridiculed by the people of the world and would even make the world's famous officials full of passion!

"happiness!"

Qin Teng was shocked and hurriedly wanted to stop him.

However, Fusu stood up at this moment.

"Father, Zhuo Jun has great talent, and his father also recognizes it. Today, he presents the Yuzhou tripod to my Great Qin and has the art of making paper."

Fusu paused, and he knew in his heart that today was a birthday party that should not contradict Qin Shihuang. But Zhuo Cao was kind to him and helped him repeatedly. This time he used new methods to make paper without hiding this time, and he had nothing to say. If he didn't stand up to help Zhuo Cao speak today, would he still be human?

Zhuo Cao has given up his higher official position, which is enough to give him enough face. What's wrong with increasing his title?

Isn’t it worthy of Zhuocao’s achievements?!

Isn’t this bullying honest people?!

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Feng Quji walked out of the house, and he didn't know the inside story. However, Zhuo Cao made great contributions and should not have been rewarded so hastyly. He was not talking to Zhuo Cao, but was just worried that the spread of this would affect famous officials and wise men from all over the country.

"I am ignorant of my words, I hope that the emperor can reward you again!"

Meng Yi then walked out, but in fact he could probably guess it in his heart. But if he didn't come out to express his opinion in this situation, he would not hate Zhuo Cao to death after he knew everything. He would eat free food in his house every day and would not speak for him at critical moments.

If this matter is spread, will Meng Yi still have the face to wander in Xianyang in the future?

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

All the doctors walked out one by one.

Looking at them, Qin Shihuang frowned slightly and looked at Li Si at the same time.

Boss, don't look at me!

Li Si was having a headache. He couldn't let him do things that offend people every day, right?

In the end, he had no choice but to walk out and bow. There was no way, who made it difficult for him, the left prime minister? It was basically not his turn to do good things. He had to do all the offending people at critical moments.

"I think it is impossible to give such rewards. Today, Zhuo Cao also offered these for the birthday party. Since it is a birthday party, there is naturally no need to give rewards. Otherwise, wouldn't you all have to give rewards? It is a blessing that Your Majesty can give him a title. Is this true? Is it because you want your superiors to force Your Majesty to do so?"

"Old man, you fart!"

Tu Sui couldn't stand up and curse. Although he had only met Zhuo Cao for one time, he had never had any relationship. However, just by what Zhuo Cao did, he knew that Zhuo Cao was definitely a capable talent. What Li Si said was even more unreasonable. It seemed reasonable, but it was actually nonsense!

"presumptuous!"

Qin Shihuang suddenly shouted angrily.

"Have your majesty calm down!"

Zhao Gao was very happy. When he saw Zhuo Cao, he only went to the five doctors to be more proud. Zhuo Cao was so embarrassed that he should not burn his treasury. He had no younger brother yet. Will he still be a man if he didn't avenge this revenge?

"I have my own right, please don't say anything more."

Qin Shihuang waved his hand, and Feng Chang immediately understood it.
