Chapter 41 Papermaking

Perfect!

Thinking of this word, Teacher Jin Xing's signature gesture appeared in Li Yang's mind.

However, the world when I came is getting farther and farther away from me, and I may never have the chance to go back in my life...

Thinking of his relatives in that world, Li Yang couldn't help feeling sad and a trace of sorrow hung on his face.

All this fell into Fusu's eyes. Seeing Li Yang suddenly become full of sorrow, he thought Li Yang was worried about the difficulties in the current situation of Daqin. He was both moved and ashamed.

What is a loyal minister? This is a loyal minister.

A minister can still worry about the Qin Dynasty so much, but as the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, he was still considering his identity just now and was unwilling to be profit-oriented. He was really ashamed!

Thinking of this, Fusu bowed and said with red eyes: "Don't worry, Taifu, Fusu will do his best to make paper to relieve Qin's worries!"

This sentence interrupted Li Yang's thoughts. He turned around and saw, "Damn, this guy is so fine, why are he still crying, his eyes are red."

Alas, it’s really a weak scholar, a useless guy!

Seeing Li Yang's disgusting expression, Fusu was even more sad. It seemed that the Grand Tutor was sad today, and now he could only use his actions to show his desire to know his mistakes.

Not long after, He Zhang, who was about to be the Shao Mansion, also came.

After bowing to Li Yang and Fusu, Li Yang went straight to the topic and told him about paper.

When He Zhang heard that Li Yang could make something cheaper than silk, lighter than oracle bones and bamboo slips, he immediately shone his eyes and became excited and said in disbelief: "Zhongcheng, you... what you said is really, really thin as silk, but cheaper than silk?"

Li Yang said disapprovingly: "It's not just cheaper than silk, but actually its cost is even cheaper than bamboo slips!"

call……

He Zhang was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he heard this.

Although it was just a few simple words to describe it, he knew that he could have a premonition that the effect of this thing called paper would bring.

Early writing was engraved on oracle bones and bells and tripods. Due to the limitations of their materials, it was difficult to spread widely. So until the Shang Dynasty, only more than a hundred people in the upper class were mastered. This greatly restricted the spread of culture and thoughts. All of this was not changed until the emergence of bamboo slips.

Although the emergence of bamboo slips has allowed more people to master the text and knowledge, because bamboo slips are made in complex and need to be cut, cut, baked (finished), written, drilled, and woven, the cost is still high, which greatly limits the dissemination of text and thoughts.

Nowadays, if paper can be made that is cheaper and lighter than bamboo slips, it will obviously once again have a significant role in promoting the spread of culture and ideas.

Thinking of this, He Zhang excitedly praised: "Zhongcheng, if you can really create such a thing called paper, then this is a major invention in the history of the Great Qin civilization!"

Li Yang was surprised this time.

Papermaking is not only one of China's four great inventions, but also a major invention in the history of human civilization. People in later generations know this.

However, what surprised Li Yang was that He Zhang didn't expect that after just listening to the description of paper, he could actually think of the role that paper can play in human civilization, which is a bit impressive.

You should know that after the invention of papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty in history, it took a long time until the Jin Dynasty that paper began to become a dominant writing material, completely eliminating silk slips. At the beginning, people did not see the significance of paper. Of course, the big reason is that the paper made at the beginning was not very suitable for writing.

It seems that He Zhang is not simple.

Li Yang looked at him in surprise and said, "What General He Zhang said is very important. If we can make paper, it will be of great significance. Not only will His Majesty record great achievements for us, but future generations will definitely not forget us. It must be because of this papermaking technique that has been famous in history."

When He Zhang heard this, he was even more excited and blushed.

How many people want to leave their names in history?

Life is like a flash of time, fleeting in an instant. Love, gold, treasure, fame and status will eventually disappear with the passing of people, and there will be no trace of you in the world.

And if papermaking can make a name in history, isn’t it a self-proof? I have been here in this world. Look, there are still traces of me in this world...

Thinking of this, He Zhang could no longer hold back and asked impatiently: "Zhongcheng, please ask Zhongcheng to teach you the papermaking technique!"

…………

On that day, Li Yang stayed in the prince's uterus for half a day.

He told He Zhang and Fusu in detail about papermaking.

Papermaking is very simple for later generations. It is nothing more than two key conditions: one is the tools and equipment for papermaking, and the other is the process for papermaking.

Regarding the tools and equipment for making paper, Li Yang could only draw a rough look according to his memory, and then explained their functions in detail.

Although it is not comprehensive enough, it is obviously not difficult for the Sui Shaofu to make these tools.

Then there is the process of papermaking, including pulping, copying, drying, processing, etc., and He Zhang copied it together. Then, even if the matter is almost done, the rest will be relied on them to return to the Shaofu and the craftsmen to think about it and try it out.

For Li Yang, he didn't want to work hard on everything himself. He also believed that the papermaking technique was explained so clearly. If the Shaofu still couldn't be created, it would be the Shaofu.

You know, they represent the highest level of craftsman skills in the Qin State.

In the next few days, Fusu gave up studying and devoted himself to the Shaofu, and worked on papermaking with He Zhang.

Li Yang, on the other hand, was busy implementing the new law.

The new law has been on track. As long as he reviews the laws revised by the Tingwei Office, he points out any inappropriate points. If it is appropriate, he will stamp it and send it to all counties in the world for implementation, which is not too tiring.

In a flash, half a month passed...

The new laws were basically teleported by the envoys to various parts of the Qin Dynasty.

Wherever the new law goes, the people cheer and run around to tell each other, and the world is full of joy.

Many people who were imprisoned for continuation were also released on the day when the new law came.

In the past half month, people in the entire Qin Dynasty were talking about the new law. At the same time, the name of Li Yang was deeply remembered by every citizen...
