Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 87 Papermaking Completed

Deep in the imperial palace of Xianyang City, in Fusu's study, the flickering candlelight illuminated Fusu's resolute face.

He stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, his heart full of longing for the future.

"Sir, the new paper has been made."

An old man walked into the study respectfully, holding a few rolls of brand new papers in his hands.

Fusu turned around and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He walked quickly to the old man, took the paper, and stroked it gently.

He was very pleased with the texture of the paper and couldn't help but admire it.

"It's great! The quality of the paper far exceeds my expectations."

When the craftsman outside the door heard Fusu's praise, a proud smile appeared on his face.

The old man explained, "Sir, they all carefully selected and processed the raw materials according to your instructions."

"At the same time, we have made many improvements to the production process."

“These papers are not only thin and soft, but also highly absorbent and easy to write on.”

"It's much better than the bamboo slips we had before. You are truly a god in the world."

Fusu nodded, expressing his appreciation for the craftsmen's hard work.

He thought for a moment, then said, "How much does it cost to make these papers?"

The old man replied: "Sir, we can improve and adopt more efficient production methods.

“Although the paper may not be as delicate, it also reduces the consumption of raw materials.”

"As a result, these papers were much cheaper to produce than the silk and bamboo papers that came before them."

Fusu was delighted after hearing this, as this was exactly the result he wanted.

He knew very well that in this era, the scarcity and high cost of paper was one of the important factors restricting cultural development.

If papermaking technology can be promoted and more people can have access to knowledge, the cultural prosperity of the Qin Dynasty will be just around the corner.

"Very good!" Fusu walked out and patted the shoulder of the craftsman waiting at the door, encouraging him.

"Your efforts have not been in vain."

"Next, we will send these papers to schools and government offices so that more people can use them."

The craftsman was very excited after hearing this, he knew that the fruits of his labor would soon be widely used.

The old man solemnly took the paper handed to him by Fusu and left with the craftsman.

In another corner of the study, Fusu's adviser Xiao He also heard their conversation.

He came over and said to Fusu, "Sir, your papermaking technology will surely bring a cultural revolution to the Qin Dynasty."

"I believe that under your leadership, Daqin's cultural undertakings will usher in a brand new era."

Fusu nodded, with a determined light in his eyes.

He not only has to contribute to the cultural prosperity of Daqin, but also lead Daqin to a more prosperous future.

"Mr. Xiao He, you are right."

Fusu took a deep breath and said, "We must continue to work hard and continuously promote reform and development."

"Only in this way can we make Daqin's future better."

In the study, the candlelight flickered. Fusu and Xiao He sat opposite each other, and both of them looked serious and earnest.

Fusu spoke first. He sighed and spoke slowly.

"Xiao He, there is a lack of talent in the court right now, and many important positions are vacant. This makes me very anxious."

Xiao He nodded slightly, frowning: "My Lord, you are right. Although Zhao Gao has been removed, his followers are still causing trouble in secret."

"Prime Minister Li and we have another disagreement, which is indeed a big problem."

Fusu looked up at Xiao He, with a determined light in his eyes.
