Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

"Yes, it is called paper."

“Not only can it be used for writing, but multiple sheets of paper can also be bound together to make books or pamphlets.”

what?

Paper?

In addition to writing, can it also be used to make books and booklets?

Feng Quji said excitedly, "Your Majesty! If this is true, then can't this paper replace bamboo slips and cloth?"

"Yes, that's exactly the point."

Ying Zheng had a smile on his face, "The bamboo slips are so heavy, what if we use this paper instead?"

"It not only makes it easier for ministers and me to handle state affairs, but also saves the felling of bamboo forests."

"It also eliminates the complicated process of making and preserving bamboo slips."

"It is extremely beneficial to me, the ministers, and the noble families."

"Besides, this paper is much easier to preserve than bamboo slips."

Feng Quji was overjoyed!

"Your Majesty! This is a happy event! It is a blessing for our Great Qin!"

As soon as Wang Wan stepped into the palace, she heard Feng Quji's words.

He asked in confusion, "Happy event? What happy event? Is His Majesty pregnant?"

Wang Wan bowed to Ying Zheng.

Feng Quji, who was standing by, glared and cursed, "What do you mean His Majesty is pregnant? What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Ah? Isn't His Majesty pregnant?"

Wang Wan said, "When I came in, I heard you talking about some happy event. It's a blessing for our Great Qin."

"If it's not that His Majesty is pregnant, then what is it?"

"It is your Majesty who has the paper."

Feng Quji said, "It can replace bamboo slips and cloth, and it can be used as writing paper!"

what?

Can it replace bamboo slips and cloth?

Paper to write on?

Wang Wan asked, "Where is this paper? May I have a look at it?"

"Num, here you go."

Feng Quji took out one of the two pieces of paper in his hand and handed it to Wang Wan, and gave her instructions.

"Hand it carefully, don't tear it."

Wang Wan took the paper and looked at it. "This... is the paper that can be used for writing and can replace bamboo slips and cloth?"

"correct."

Feng Quji nodded.

Wang Wan looked down at the paper in his hand, then looked up at Ying Zheng.

"His Majesty........"

Ying Zheng nodded, "This is paper."

Wang Wan took the paper and held it in front of her eyes and looked at it.

It is so light and thin, I wonder how many times lighter it is than a bamboo slip.

If you use it to write...

Then the government affairs he handles every day will not be like a mountain.

There was a pile on the table and several piles on the ground.

Maybe one stack is enough.

He is also easy to handle.

If this paper is bound into a book......

The more Wang Wan thought about it, the more excited he became!

"Your Majesty! Great joy! This is a blessing for our Great Qin!!"

Feng Quji on the side:............

Just couldn't see it.

You were just talking about me.

snort!

Wang Wan asked, not knowing what he was thinking of.

"Your Majesty, this paper...was it taken out by that young man?"

He knew that His Majesty had left the palace today.

Ok?

juvenile?

Feng Quji also knew of Qi Pan's existence, but he had never been to the inn and had never seen the young man's appearance.

He also looked at Ying Zheng with confusion.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this paper was indeed taken out by that young man."

"She made it herself in the inn."

what?

Did she make it herself?

"This paper is also from two thousand years later?!"

Wang Wan looked at the paper in his hand in shock.

"That's not it."

Ying Zheng shook his head, "This paper was made in our Great Qin, but the recipe for making paper came from two thousand years later."

"I heard from that young man that this paper can be improved to become even thinner and more delicate."

Two thousand years later?!

When Feng Quji heard about Qi Pan’s identity for the first time, he was surprised.

"That boy is from two thousand years later??!"

"Yes."

Ying Zheng nodded affirmatively, "I have confirmed this."

"From now on, call that young man sir and be respectful to her."

Wang Wan and Feng Quji looked at each other in shock!

Your Majesty said that we should address that young man as Sir?!

This...this is a great honor!

In the Qin Dynasty, there has never been anyone who can be honored as "Sir" by His Majesty!

But... thinking about what the young man took out, the tables, chairs, tea sets, and tea recipes.

And the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes.

The former had little impact on Daqin.

But the latter few things are extremely important to Daqin!

War horses are related to the combat effectiveness of the Qin Dynasty!

Improved the combat effectiveness of war horses and reduced the loss of war horses!

It is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire Qin Dynasty!

It is to enhance the national strength of their Great Qin! !

She is worthy of being called Sir by His Majesty!

They are also willing to call her sir!

Sir, you are a great talent!!!

And he is from two thousand years later. It is hard to find even with a lantern!

It's worth calling her sir!

Thinking of this, Feng Quji and Wang Wan responded at the same time, "Yes!"

Feng Quji asked again, "Your Majesty, how is this paper made? Is the raw material hard to find?"

"It's not difficult."

Ying Zheng said, "Most of them can be made with bamboo, tree bark, rags, old fishing nets, etc."

“I wrote down the production process.”

As he spoke, Ying Zheng handed a piece of cloth to Feng Quji.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Feng Quji took the cloth with both hands respectfully, and exclaimed when he saw the time required.

“It only takes half a month to make a batch of paper?!”

"In such a short time, you can make a batch of paper??!"

"Yes."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If it is improved, the time may be shortened."

“The quality of the paper can also be greatly improved.”

"Feng Qing, we must hurry up and make paper!"

"While making paper, we must also work hard to improve the quality of paper! This is the top priority!"

Feng Quji also understood the importance of the matter, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will live up to your expectations!"

"Ah."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Wang Wan, "Mr. Feng will take care of the papermaking, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Wang with the government affairs of the court."

Wha.....what?

Government affairs?

Your Majesty means that he will handle government affairs for Your Majesty.

Also need to handle official business for Feng Quji? ?

No!

His Majesty asked him to come here just to let him help Feng Quji share the official duties? ? !

Wang Wan was dumbfounded, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

I can also be responsible for papermaking! !

I don't want to be trapped in the palace to handle government affairs!!!

But looking at Ying Zheng's eyes full of trust, Wang Wan was speechless.

Your Majesty values ​​him and trusts him so much, how could he let Your Majesty down?

How can I disappoint Your Majesty?

So Wang Wan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will handle the government affairs well."

"Let His Majesty rest assured, and let... Old Feng, make paper with peace of mind."

"it is good."

Ying Zheng raised his hand, patted Wang Wan on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
