Ying Zheng said, his eyes shining!

Zhao Gao bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is brilliant!"

He shouted, and after hearing Ying Zheng's analysis, even his heart had to admit that this was a good idea.

More than just him?

Even Ying Zheng's heart was marveling!

But... his mouth curled: "A mere petty trick, nothing more!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Gao again, "What about the general amnesty for the world? Regarding this matter of general amnesty for the world, he should have a headache, right!"

"Although less than a month has passed, now the money and grain in the national treasury, after disaster relief, after various daily expenses, currently is only enough for one distribution for the Great Wall, and there are three more distributions this year. By now, he should have a headache, right!"

"Besides that, there are the salaries of the officials, many of whom are double! He wouldn't even be unable to pay the salaries of the officials in various places of the imperial court, right!"

Ying Zheng smiled.

And speaking of this matter, Zhao Gao couldn't help but start trembling and shivering!

"What are you afraid of!"

Ying Zheng was unhappy and looked at Zhao Gao!

Zhao Gao thought for a long time, and still took out an object!

"This... what is this?"

Ying Zheng looked at the slightly yellowish linen paper in front of him, full of confusion.

But after opening it and taking a look, he was instantly shocked!

There were... actually words on this?

"This object is called paper, sold by Li Si, one sheet costs fifteen coins!"

"One sheet sold for fifteen coins?"

"Paper?"

Ying Zheng was stunned; he flipped the paper over and over to look at it.

The more he looked, the more amazed he was, the more he looked, the more shocked he was!

Mainly... this object was too thin, and also too convenient.

Moreover, the amount of text recorded far exceeded bamboo slips!

This... this wasn't comparable to bamboo slips, but could completely replace bamboo slips!

"This... this..."

Ying Zheng was shocked numb; he was full of shock, unbelievable.

He couldn't help but ask Zhao Gao, where did Li Si get this object?

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground trembling violently and didn't speak!

Ying Zheng seemed to realize something and glared at Zhao Gao: "Speak!"

Zhao Gao said: "Li Si claimed to the outside world that it was a gift from an immortal!"

"But according to the Net's investigation, this object came from Cai Lun in the Kaigong Room newly appointed by Ying Su!"

"And Li Si is responsible for selling it, one sheet of paper, fifteen coins!"

"What?"

"Li Si? Selling paper?"

"Helping that rebellious son Ying Su sell paper?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ying Zheng was stunned!

But in the blink of an eye, it was anger soaring to the heavens!

"Li Si... he... how dare he!"

Ying Zheng was furious to the extreme!

Yes!

One must know, this was Li Si!

He was his trusted official!

Others defecting to Ying Su might be excusable, but Li Si?

He was someone he had promoted back when he was still fighting with Lu Buwei!

After Lu Buwei fell, he even appointed him as the Left Chancellor!

Although in rank he wasn't as high as the Right Chancellor Feng Feng Qiji.

But... in actual power, he far exceeded Feng Feng Qiji!

He... he actually defected to Ying Su?

"He... what does he want to do!"

"In his eyes, is there still me?"

"Everyone in the world can see that Ying Su is rebelling, is plotting treason!"

"Is he the only one who can't see it?"

Ying Zheng was furious!

Furious beyond control!

His whole body was trembling violently!

Zhao Gao was scared to death and hurriedly stood up to soothe Ying Zheng's chest, letting him vent his anger!

Ying Zheng pushed his hand away: "You tell me, how is this paper selling?"

"I don't believe that with just such a piece of broken paper, he can support the operation of the entire Great Qin imperial court!"

"I don't believe that the people in this world are all fools!"

"Just a piece of broken paper, the selling price is almost catching up to silk, how could so many people buy this kind of broken paper?"

Ying Zheng was furious and tore the linen paper in his hand to shreds!

Zhao Gao swallowed hard, trembling and shivering violently, not daring to say a word for a long time!

Ying Zheng was furious and kicked Zhao Gao: "Speak! I want you to speak!"

Zhao Gao hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke:

"According to the Net spies, since Chancellor Li Si started selling paper, people have been flocking to the Chancellor's mansion every day!"

"Finally, the Chancellor had to open a shop specifically to sell paper!"

"However, in just two days, the shop couldn't sell anymore because there were too many customers, and they had to open more shops!"

"Now, there are more than six shops selling paper in Xianyang City, and every shop is crowded with people every day, an endless stream!"

Zhao Gao reported!

And as soon as these words were spoken, suddenly, Ying Zheng felt the world spinning.

The next second, his vision went black!

With a loud boom, he actually fell to the ground!

PS: Please give flowers, please give evaluation tickets!!!

035. Ying Zheng: This World is My World!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At that moment, Zhao Gao was scared out of his wits and shouted for the first time!

Fortunately, Ying Zheng was fine, and he woke up after a while.

At this time, he looked slightly weak, his chest rising and falling, obviously panting heavily.

After a while, he recovered and sighed to Zhao Gao: "This rebellious son, he really has become a climate!"

"Now, just by selling paper, he already has over a million coins in his hands, right!"

Ying Zheng's gaze was cold, and Zhao Gao didn't speak.

He was afraid of angering Ying Zheng and didn't dare to tell Ying Zheng that according to the intelligence controlled by the Net now, in just a few short days, these papers were conservatively estimated to have already sold over 200,000 sheets!

And according to the price of fifteen coins per sheet, that was at least over three million coins!

And this... was just in a few short days!

At this moment, even Zhao Gao felt his scalp tingling!

And Ying Zheng continued to ask:
