Chapter 162

Xianyang City.

At the major official bulletin boards.

Today, it is overcrowded.

The bulletin boards are surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

The crowd is as numerous as ants, reaching the point where people are pressed against one another.

Many people were drawn here by the official announcement.

Rumor has it that Great Qin has had major movements recently.

It is even more sensational than the previous news about opening the granaries for disaster relief.

Therefore, a great many people have come this time.

The government has also sent urgent notices via eight-hundred-li express to every commandery and county.

Commanderies and counties slightly closer to Xianyang City will also release official announcements at the same time.

Only those remote commanderies and counties might need until tomorrow to receive the news.

Xianyang City is the center of centralized political power; any major news is certainly sent from here to all parts of Great Qin.

Seeing so many people arrive, an official is glad they had a backup plan, otherwise they truly would not have been able to cope.

"Come here, distribute the Xuan paper; there is no need to crowd here."

"Understood!"

A soldier picks up a thick stack of Xuan paper and distributes one sheet to each commoner.

Whether they are literate or illiterate, everyone is given a sheet of Xuan paper.

The characters on these sheets of Xuan paper were printed using movable type technology manufactured by the Craftsman's Office.

They can print as many sheets as they want, completely eliminating the need for the previous method of writing them out one by one.
