Chapter 789: A generation of goblins conquered the eternal emperor 28
"Zhao Qian put it aside in advance, and he can't escape him in the future. The papermaking method you gave last time has been implemented very well. After it is implemented in various places, it is also a good thing for the country and the people."
Shu Ange did whatever he wanted. Hearing what Ying Zheng said, he replied with a smile: "This is excellent, it is convenient to write, let the characters be engraved on wooden boards, and some books can be printed, and it is also easy to popularize and educate the people, so that the people can learn a few more characters. ."
She only mentioned woodblock printing casually, no, she made movable type printing out.
There are certain laws in historical development. A little improvement in productivity is a good thing. If there is too much progress, the production relations cannot keep up, but it will lead to disaster.
Ying Zheng took her words to heart. He never thought that he could engrave words on wooden boards and print books.
A goblin is more transparent about the national economy and people's livelihood than a human being. Ying Zheng feels more and more that Shu Ange is by no means a calamity like Daji. She was sent by God to help him unify the six kingdoms.
"Previously, the paper mill was not profitable, and I haven't mentioned it to you. After the first half of the year, when the paper mills in various places are completed, the profit will be divided into two points for you."
Shu Ange didn't care much about money, but it was given to her by Ying Zheng, and her smile grew even stronger.
"A little trivial matter, thank the king for your reward."
Ying Zheng didn't think it was a big deal when the other person was called Dawang, but every time he heard Shu Ange being called Dawang, it was always a bit harsh.
A vague feeling reminded him that the two of them shouldn't be so estranged.
This kind of cognition is very strange. Ying Zheng has been impulsive several times, but he has not let Shu Ange change his name to a close one.
"The target character's favorability is +6, and the current favorability is 66."
The stagnant favorability suddenly rose, Shu Ange took a bright red apple from the fruit bowl, put it to his lips without biting, just stared at Ying Zheng with a smile.
The two sat facing each other for a while, Ying Zheng got up and went to work, while Shu Ange went to find Wang Jian and was busy with military training.
Another half a year has passed, and King Qin has been on the throne for more than two years. Those who questioned Ying Zheng's inability to control the overall situation at a young age have now shut up.
With the support of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, Xiangbang Lu Buwei, and Empress Dowager Huayang, Ying Zheng's throne was very stable, and the domestic situation was also very stable.
Everything was going in a good direction. In the third year of King Qin’s administration, Shu Ange remembered that in history, the Qin state had been very unstable in the past two years. First, there was a famine and then a plague of locusts, so he told Ying Zheng about it in advance.
The officials in charge of the calendar and farming in this era can only judge the climate and the harvest of the coming year based on the astrology and the experience of previous years.
Except for the amazing people who can penetrate the sky and the earth, most stargazers only know little about climate change.
If others say things like drought and locust plague, Ying Zheng will first suspect their motives, and then think that the other party is lying.
But these words were spoken by Shu Ange, and Ying Zheng took it seriously.
Drought is a natural disaster and cannot be avoided, but knowing the news in advance can always be prepared. In previous years, there have been many natural disasters, and the subsequent man-made disasters should not be underestimated.
Famine will cause poor people to starve to death, and the corpses will not be collected in time, which will easily lead to epidemics. After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic, and this is what I am talking about.
As for the locust plague, it is even more terrifying. The locusts cross the border and no grass grows. The people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to drink water.
Ying Zheng did not spread the news, causing people to panic.
After negotiating with the prime minister, he used Lu Buwei's contacts to bribe people who traveled between countries to do business and let them find ways to buy as much food as possible.
If the food was purchased in the name of a merchant in the Qin state, it would cause suspicions in various countries, and secondly, the monarchs of other countries would get in the way.
Merchants seek profit, as long as the Qin State throws a lot of money, there will always be someone willing to do something for them.
In addition, the King of Qin also ordered the troops who went out to fight, not only to hold the local granary in their hands, but also to ensure the smooth progress of local agricultural production.
The King of Qin has an order, how dare you not obey, the Qin state will order no one to disobey.
Merchants bought grain on a large scale, and it became inevitable that the prices of corn and wheat would rise. Ying Zheng took the opportunity to treat paper as a rarity and sold it to various countries, and sold another sum.
The art of making paper is not difficult to say, but difficult to say. From the very beginning, Ying Zheng controlled the production method of paper and produced it by his soldiers who were loyal to the Qin state.
Even if the Six Nations wanted to rely on the finished paper and come up with a method of making paper, they had no idea for a while.
Shu Ange didn't realize it at first, but after connecting Ying Zheng's series of actions to everything, he deeply admired his actions.
Why didn't she see it before that Ying Zheng was not only a born overlord, but also a virtuous businessman?
Even Shu Ange didn't think so long-term. He only thought that papermaking could greatly reduce the cost of education and office, and he could make a fortune relying on rare things.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng thought about it so thoughtfully, and calculated the short-term and long-term interests.
After the Qin State bought the grain, it was transported back to the country in a scattered manner under various cover.
Time passed by like a white horse, the general of the Qin state Meng Ao captured thirteen cities in South Korea, and the prince of Yan entered the state of Qin as a proton.
Yan Dan has come to Qin, this is his first time to Qin.
It was also this time that he entered Qin as a pledge, which made Yan Dan hold a grudge against Ying Zheng. Later, he entered Qin as a pledge again. After Yan Dan escaped, he planned the famous Jing Ke in history to assassinate the King of Qin.
The grievances between the two are difficult to explain in a few words. In fact, Qin is more wrong.
Qin Yan originally agreed to make an alliance to attack Zhao State together. As a result, Qin State suddenly suffered a drought, and the people suffered from famine. He temporarily changed his mind, abandoned the Qin-Yan Alliance, and sent Gan Luo as an ambassador to Zhao State.
After Gan Luo was sent to Zhao State, he persuaded King Zhao to cut five cities to Qin State, and then the Qin-Yan alliance officially broke down, and Qin State sent Prince Dan back to Zhao State.
Zhao State moved the newly established Crown Prince to Qin State to be a proton, and then sent troops to attack Yan State, taking thirty cities of Yan State.
This year, the general of the Qin State, Wang He, passed away. The King of Qin regretted that he did not forget to care for Wang He's family and his old troops.
When Yan Dan entered Qin, Shu Ange and Ying Zheng met him out of curiosity.
He is a few years older than Ying Zheng. When he first entered the Qin state, he was full of youthful looks, but he was a little reckless and could not speak very well. After seeing Ying Zheng, the first sentence he said was, "I think when I was in Handan—"
Ying Zheng interrupted him and did not give him a chance to catch up.
Shu Ange felt a little sympathetic to Yan Dan, the feudal feudal lords fought against each other today, and formed an alliance tomorrow and turned against each other tomorrow.
Sometimes Shu Ange didn't quite understand Yan Dan's brain circuit. When he sent assassins to assassinate the King of Qin, it was a foregone conclusion that the Qin State would unify the six kingdoms. Besides angering the King of Qin, what was the significance of his actions?
