Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Li Yang said disapprovingly: "It's not only cheaper than silk, it's actually 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 words of description, he knew how significant it would be to be able to foresee the role of this thing called paper.

The early characters were engraved on oracle bones and bells and tripods. Due to the limitations of their materials, it was difficult to spread widely. Therefore, until the Yin and Shang Dynasties, only a few hundred people in the upper class had mastered characters, which greatly limited the spread of culture and ideas. , all this did not change until the bamboo slips appeared.

Although the appearance of bamboo slips has allowed more people to grasp the text and knowledge, the production of bamboo slips is complicated and requires cutting, cutting, baking (finishing), writing, drilling, and weaving, so the cost is still relatively high, which greatly affects the production of bamboo slips. restrictions on the dissemination of words and ideas.

Now, if paper that is cheaper and lighter than bamboo slips can be produced, it will obviously once again play a major role in promoting the spread of culture and ideas.

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

This time, Li Yang was quite surprised.

Papermaking is not only one of the four great inventions of China, but also a major invention in the history of human civilization, which is well known to future generations.

However, what surprised Li Yang was that He Zhang could think of the role paper can play in human civilization just after listening to the description of paper casually, which is a bit impressive.

You must know that it took a long time after the invention of papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty. It was not until the Jin Dynasty that paper began to become the dominant writing material and completely eliminated silk documents.At the beginning, people did not see the great significance of paper. Of course, the big reason for this was that the paper that was first made was not very suitable for writing.

It seems that this chapter is not simple.

Li Yang glanced at him in surprise, and then said: "What General He Zhang said is very true. If we can make paper, it will be of great significance. Not only will His Majesty remember the great achievements for us, but future generations will certainly not forget us , it must be because of this papermaking technique that it will be famous in history."

When He Zhang heard this, his face turned red with excitement.

How many people wish to leave a name in history?

A lifetime of life is like a white horse passing through an ear, and it is fleeting.What kind of love, what kind of gold and wealth, what kind of fame and status, will eventually disappear with the passing of the person, and there will be no trace of you in the world.

And if it is possible to make a name in history through papermaking, wouldn't it be a kind of self-proof, proving that I have been in this world.You see, there are still traces of me in this world...

Thinking of this, He Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, and asked impatiently: "Zhongcheng, please teach me the art of making paper!"

…………

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

He told He Zhang and Fu Su about the papermaking technique in detail.

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

As for the paper-making tools and equipment, Li Yang could only draw a rough outline based on his memory, and then explained their functions in detail.

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

Then there is the process of papermaking. The main steps of pulping, papermaking, drying, and processing are explained in detail one by one. People thought about it and tried it on their own.

As for Li Yang, he didn't want to bother with everything by himself. He also believed that the papermaking technique was explained so clearly, if he still couldn't make the Jiangzuo Shaofu, then it wouldn't be the Jiangzuo Shaofu.

You know, they represent the highest level of craftsmanship in Qin.

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

Li Yang, on the other hand, was busy with the implementation of the new law.

The reform of the new law is on the right track. He only needs to review the laws revised by the Tingwei Department, point out any inadequacies, and if it is correct, he will stamp it and send it to all counties and counties in the world for implementation. It is not too tiring.

In a flash, half a month passed...

The new decree was basically sent to all parts of Daqin by the messenger.

Wherever the new decree came, the people cheered and rushed to tell each other, and the world was full of joy.

Many people who were imprisoned for sitting together were also released on the day the new law came, all of them were innocent.

In the past half a month, people in the whole Great Qin Dynasty have been talking about the new law. At the same time, the name of Li Yang has been deeply remembered by every citizen...

Chapter 42 Discuss the plan to destroy Qin

Sishui County, Xiaxiang County.

Sishui County is the hometown of Huaibei in the Warring States Period, and the counties under the county include Peixian County and Xiangxian County.The former residence of the Xiang family, an aristocrat of the Chu State, is in Xiaxiang County, Sishui County.

The three uncles and nephews of Xiang Liang hurried back to their hometown Xiaxiang County after Xianyang failed to assassinate Li Yang.

Originally, they planned to lie dormant and wait for the common people all over the world to resist Qin's tyranny, and then raise their troops to respond and complete the long-awaited great cause of destroying Qin.

However, there is a deviation between reality and imagination.

The old man Qin Shihuang actually asked Li Yang to reform the new law, abolish continuous sitting, and lighten corvee. If such reforms continue, the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment. The past resentment against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty will disappear, and there will be no chance of destroying the Qin Dynasty.

In order to take advantage of the present, when the new law was enacted and the people were still suffering, and to start an incident as soon as possible, the three uncles and nephews of Xiang Liang, as soon as they returned to their homeland, gathered all the descendants of the gentry from the former Chu State, as well as the local tyrants and gentry. At the same time, use Shang to raise troops to destroy Qin.

Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan from an aristocratic family in Chu State. His father Xiang Yan was a famous general in Chu State. They all gave some face and went to the appointment one after another.

In the suburbs of Xiaxiang County, in the hall of a house, there are already more than ten people gathered here.They are divided into left and right in the hall, each with a case, there is wine and food on the case, but no one drinks.

The three uncles and nephews of Xiang Liang sat at the top of the hall.

Xiang Liang looked at the people in the hall who came for the appointment, and he was very satisfied. These were all his allies who had exterminated Qin.Now that all these people are here, Xiang Liang's confidence has greatly increased, and he can already feel that great things are waiting for him!

Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu were also very happy. Everyone was able to come to the appointment today, which shows that the reputation of the Xiang family is still there. As long as the Xiang family proposes to destroy Qin today, everyone will definitely respond.

The three looked at each other, excited.

"Hahaha..." Xiang Liang laughed three times, picked up the wine bowl, and said to everyone: "This is the fine wine brewed by my Xiang family. It is mellow and sweet. Everyone has to gather here today. Come, let's drink it to the full. Cup, eat meat, drink alcohol, get drunk, do it!"

Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu also raised their wine bowls and respected the people below.

but……

The people in the hall below did not move at all, and no one raised their wine bowls to respond.

Uh, the atmosphere seems a bit awkward...

The smiles on the faces of Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu also froze at this moment.

what's going on?

The expression on Xiang Liang's face also froze, and he felt very embarrassed. He asked, "Do you all think that Xiang's wine is not good? Here, let's change the wine!"
