Chapter 24

~11 min read 2,075 words

Although there is also cloth that can be used!

But... the cost of cloth is too expensive?

Just one foot requires 20 coins!

With this money, people would have long ago bought clothes to wear; how could they be willing to use it to record things?

Even if the royal family and nobles were rich, they would only use cloth when transmitting secret memorials and important edicts.

Usually?

They were not willing to use it at all!

And now, this thing can replace bamboo slips?

But... looking carefully, it is not hard to find that Ying Su is right!

As a recording tool, paper really has much more recording capacity than bamboo slips!

Yes, even a full carriage of bamboo slips has a recording capacity of only 100,000 characters.

A roll of bamboo slips can only record a few hundred characters!

And this sheet of paper?

The flax paper Li Si saw now, when unfolded, is half a person wide and one person high!

And this sheet of paper can record nearly a thousand characters!

In other words, this sheet of paper can almost carry all the content that two rolls of bamboo slips can carry!

More importantly, this thing is convenient!

Yes!

Just such a sheet of paper, whether folded and carried on the body, or rolled up, can be easily picked up, far less thick and heavy than bamboo slips!

Moreover, even the large roll Ying Su gave him can be held in his hand!

And such a large roll can carry the recording capacity of five carriages of bamboo slips!

"Heavenly object!"

"Heavenly object!"

"This is a true heavenly object!"

Li Si was shocked.

He was very excited!

Yes, no matter what, he is a scholar!

And scholars don't love books; the appearance of this thing is a subversive change to the recording method of books!

At that moment, he was excited to the extreme.

But suddenly, he thought of something and said to Ying Su:

"Your Majesty, what is the cost of this thing?"

He was excited and asked!

But likewise, he was also very worried!

Now there are two main ways of recording, one is bamboo slips, and the second is cloth!

The recording and carrying of cloth are also very convenient!

But unfortunately, the cost is too high, one foot of cloth costs 20 coins!

And if the cost of this thing is higher than cloth, then it loses its promotion!

After all, as a recording object, no one is willing to spend money to buy something with a higher value than cloth!

Convenient to carry?

Although it is more convenient to carry than cloth, it is still the same sentence, no matter how convenient it is, it cannot stop the high price!

Therefore, Li Si was very worried!

And Ying Su, hearing this, smiled and stretched out a finger: "One coin!"

"One coin, one sheet of paper?"

He was stunned, and at the same time, even more excited; the cost of this thing is far lower than cloth!

It is even lower than bamboo slips!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

At that moment, Li Si was about to explode with excitement.

However, Ying Su shook his head repeatedly: "Not one coin per sheet, but... this roll, one coin!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, Li Si's head buzzed.

At that moment, his mouth opened wide, and he could even fit a duck egg in it!

Yes!

One roll?

How many sheets of paper are in this roll, he didn't count!

But... just conservatively estimated, there are at least 100 sheets!

You must know, even for heavy bamboo slips, if you want a recording capacity of 100,000 characters, it would cost at least 100 coins!

"Your... Your Majesty..."

Li Si was stunned!

And Ying Su smiled: "No need to be surprised!"

"The materials for this thing are all grass, wood, and tree bark, which are things no one wants, and they are not worth any money at all!"

"But... I want you to sell it for money!"

"Moreover, at a high price!"

"The higher the price, the better!"

"What?"

"High price?"

Shouldn't this thing be promoted nationwide at an extremely low price?

Li Si was completely stunned.

But soon, he understood why!

General amnesty!

General amnesty!

Although it allowed the people not to continue to suffer!

But... the tax revenue of the Great Qin imperial court was tight!

At first, when Li Si heard this edict, he only felt it was stupid!

Very stupid!

What kind of fool would engage in a general amnesty!

Giving the money and grain back to the common people, what should the Great Qin imperial court do? How should the country operate?

Without money and grain, how can the country operate!

But... thinking about it later, it seems that he could understand Ying Su.

He wanted to gather people's hearts!

And the means to gather people's hearts is nothing more than giving favors.

And Ying Su's move was precisely to give favors to the people and to give favors to the various forces in the imperial court, in order to gather people's hearts!

For a person who rebelled and ascended the imperial throne, this can be considered a very brilliant method!

Li Si admired this very much!

And in addition to admiring this point, there was also the rebellion!

Daring to rebel with only one person, and forcing Ying Zheng to abdicate!

More importantly, he also succeeded!

How could he not admire such ability!

Today, coming to him, various methods of playing with people's hearts were used on him, which made him shudder again and again!

And after the deterrence, now he handed over such a big matter as selling paper to him!

What is this called?

Giving a slap and then a sweet date!

Although Ying Su teased him like this, Li Si just admired him!

What is this?

This is called method!

Method of governing subordinates!

How could Li Si not admire such a person with methods?

At the same time, he didn't delay at all and bowed directly:

"Li Si will definitely not fail the mission!"

PS: Seeking flowers and evaluation tickets!

023. The only SSS-level divine general of the Great Qin!

"Good! Then I will go!"

"After you sell these papers, go to the Lesser Treasury to find Cai Lun and collect paper from him!"

Ying Su smiled, and Li Si bowed hurriedly: "This subject, obeys the order!"

"Hmm!"

In the blink of an eye, Ying Su left this place!

And just as Li Si had just sent Ying Su away, suddenly, a prompt sound appeared in Ying Su's eardrum:

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for recovering the SS-level governance divine general Li Si, gaining 1,000 points!"

"How many?"

A prompt sound appeared, and Ying Su's head made a slight buzzing sound!

At the same time, he was shocked!

Yes!

He worked hard to read memorials and understand the national situation, and only then did he gain so many points.

But now... just by saying a few words to Li Si today and taking Li Si over, he gained 1,000 points at once?

Then... wouldn't that mean he could take more people in the future?

Then if he took Wang Wang Jian over, how many points would he gain?

Wang Wang Jian, one of the four great generals of the Warring States, the main figure in Ying Zheng's unification of China.

With such a fierce person, he definitely counts as an SSS-level figure!

Taking him over, he would gain at least 10,000 points!

In addition to him, there are the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin!

Ying Su didn't know what level of talent Xiao He and Zhang Liang were, but Han Xin definitely counts as an SSS-level talent!

You must know, that is Han Xin!

Known as the Immortal of Soldiers!

His famous saying is, the more Han Xin points soldiers, the better!

Yes, the more the better!

Throughout ancient and modern times, among all those who led troops, only Han Xin could say this.

In addition to him, there is Xiang Yu!

The strength to pull up mountains and the spirit to cover the world, the courage of the Overlord, unique through the ages!

He definitely counts as an SSS-level fierce person, even if not SSS-level, he could count as SS!

Ying Su's head buzzed.

At this very moment, he thought of a lot, just wanting to take everyone he could name now!

Fan Zeng, Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Long Ju!

These people are all famous figures in history!

Although these are not figures from the same camp, who is born in the same camp?

At the very least, except for Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, no one is born anti-Qin.

Even Liu Bang doesn't have the idea of anti-Qin now.

Now he is just a pavilion chief of Sishui, living a happy life like a hooligan!

And even for Zhang Liang, Ying Su felt that he could try to fight for him.

Even if he assassinated the First Emperor at Bolangsha and is now a wanted criminal, he can definitely try!

As for Xiang Yu... a bit difficult!

That person has national hatred and family enmity...

Ying Su kept thinking and pondering!

But no matter how he thought, he felt that he had to take action.

Afterwards, he turned around and changed his route, which was originally intended to return to the palace, towards the General's Mansion!

That was Wang Wang Jian's mansion!

Inside the General's Mansion.

Now the old General Wang Wang Jian was already old.

Not only old, but he also didn't manage things much, not managing affairs in the court, and not managing affairs in the army!

Since the First Emperor ascended the throne, he didn't even go to the morning court much.

It was only five days ago when the First Emperor went on an eastern tour that he needed to send him off, so he went once!

Other times, he claimed illness!

But what he didn't expect was that he saw an extremely terrifying scene during that morning court!

Rebellion, abdication, ascension!

Sigh!

At this very moment, even if he recalled that scene in the imperial court, Wang Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh!

And beside him, a graceful girl was looking at Wang Wang Jian with curiosity: "Grandfather, is what you said true? Is our new emperor really rebelling?"

"And, just by bringing one person, he killed 50,000 troops of the Xianyanggong garrison?"

Her eyes were shining, and her face was full of excitement.

And Wang Wang Jian, hearing this, widened his eyes on the spot and scolded the girl angrily: "Lan'er, stop talking nonsense there, when did grandfather tell you such things?"

He was extremely angry!

Yes, this is a major matter of rebellion; even if everyone in Xianyang City knows what happened, how many people dare to discuss this matter openly?

And Wang Wang Jian was always very taboo about such things; he not only remained silent about Ying Su's rebellion, but even when Prince Fusu was powerful and everyone was currying favor with Prince Fusu, he never got involved!

Not only did he not get involved, but he also strictly forbade Wang Ben, Wang Li, and all other Wang family descendants from participating in this matter.

Who the emperor chooses to succeed to the throne is the emperor's business; as a Wang family member, one should always only be loyal to the emperor, and never have dealings with any imperial prince!

This was Wang Wang Jian's warning to all his descendants.

Yes, the Wang family has developed to this day, whether it is honor, prestige, or power, it has reached its peak, and there is no room for further progress!

Therefore, Wang Wang Jian now only wants to preserve his capital!

As long as he preserves this family business and doesn't cause trouble, everything will be fine!

However, facing the noise of this granddaughter, Wang Wang Jian had no way at all.

Who told him to love her?

Finally, there was no way, he could only tell his granddaughter his speculation in a low voice, and strictly ordered her not to tell anyone!

"Wow! Got it! Got it!"

Although Wang Lan said so, in her heart, she had already longed for the legendary Sixth Imperial Prince.

Even... she wanted to see him!

But just as this thought of hers was born!
