    In the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty, on the first day of the first month, the Great Dynasty began.

    Ying Zheng specially took advantage of this happy day, the day of the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, to show off the latest improved version of paper to all the ministers and nobles at the court meeting.

    From the best top-grade rice paper to toilet paper, we introduced them all one by one, and gave each minister a little.

    Those ministers who can go to court, even military generals, have no chance of being illiterate. Therefore, as soon as these papers were taken out and Ying Zheng showed him how to write on them, everyone knew that this day  It's going to change.

    The birth of this thing is definitely another great humanitarian event after the ancient King Wen wrote the Book of Changes.

    With this thing, hundreds of disciples will not be able to swarm in. Even if there is no need to recruit talents, there will still be people coming to their great Qin Dynasty. This is definitely not inferior to the feat of writing books on bamboo slips in the past, especially its lightness and  The low price makes it far superior to bamboo slips for writing books.

    ¡°Your Majesty, this is a cultural and religious sacred object!

    I don¡¯t know how the king can use it?  "

    After being amazed, someone immediately asked.

    "I want to sell these papers in Daqin.

    In addition to paper, I also have some books for sale. The price is not much higher than that of paper. I can sell them together when the time comes.

    But just in case someone is hoarding.

    When selling, I will ration it, and only those who have my Daqin household registration are eligible to purchase.

    Although it cannot completely suppress other countries.

    But it should also have some miraculous effects.

    ¡°In addition, I also want to set up another Great Qin Library, copy all the collections in my Xianyang Palace, and store them in the Great Qin Library, allowing the people of Great Qin to browse them by themselves.

    What do you think?  "

    While talking about the plan, Ying Zheng had already asked the guards to get the first batch of books printed with copper movable type, and distributed them one by one to all the officials below. Of course, this time there was no set for each person, just one person randomly.  A book.

    It may be the Book of Songs, it may be the Tao Te Ching, or some other scriptures, but these are the only ones. It is absolutely impossible to print books in batches for others to see.

    As soon as these books were distributed, some people couldn't wait to read them, while others noticed that every word in the books was very regular, and it didn't feel like they were copied.

    Of course, more people still didn't bother to read books at all, their attention and thinking were all attracted by what Ying Zheng just said about setting up a large library. For a while, everyone had their own ideas.

    Some think it¡¯s good, some think it¡¯s not.

    Some are worried that doing so will affect their status, and some are worried that doing so will offend some disciples or scholars who control certain types of knowledge.

    And generally speaking, those who objected were actually civil servants who had risen through the ranks based on their own knowledge and ability. On the contrary, the nobles had no objections.

    Because at this time, the nobles did not rely on knowledge to improve their position to a large extent.

    Relying on one¡¯s own bloodline and family.

    Only those who rely on knowledge and brains to improve.

    Only then will they worry that knowledge will spread too much, causing some people to compete with their descendants for status.

    But fortunately, the strength of this type of people is not very great. They can only be considered weak at present, far from reaching the peak of the valves in the middle and late Han Dynasty.

    It can almost influence the government affairs.

    Therefore, their objections were quickly ignored by Ying Zheng. He said that the construction of the Daqin Library was not discussed with these ministers, but just notified them. So what if there are objections?

    After that, some people asked why the words on those books were so regular and similar, and then Ying Zheng explained to them that they were mass-produced using new technologies.

    There is no need for manual copying or anything like that.

    Originally, Ying Zheng thought that by speaking so eloquently, he could temporarily conceal the existence of printing technology for a while, but there were really many smart people in his court. Before they saw the printed book, their minds might be confused.  I never thought that something like a seal could print a book.

    But the books are already in their hands, and they also know that they were produced in batches. With a little backward reasoning, the smart ministers will immediately understand how the books were produced.

    But they didn¡¯t say it openly.

    "I just congratulated Ying Zheng, and then as soon as the court came, I started to experiment in private."?.

    ??Hope to also have an advantage.

    There should be some benefit or something.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No matter what we try, we will definitely not be able to use the copper movable type printing technology that Qiao Mu handed over to Ying Zheng.

    Because what Qiao Mu handed over to Ying Zheng was the movable type printing technology at its peak during the Southern Song Dynasty.

    There is a difference of more than a thousand years between the two.

    ??How can technological differences be so easily smoothed out?

    Since Ying Zheng announced the birth of paper at the Great Court Meeting, there have been four more shops selling various types of paper in Xianyang City at once. One of them specializes in selling various high-end papers, and the other specializes in selling special-purpose oil paper and other papers.  One specializes in selling cheap paper, and the other specializes in straw paper.

    At the same time, the largest restaurant in Xianyang City, belonging to Lu Buwei, was temporarily expropriated by Ying Zheng and turned into a library.

    And officially opened to the outside world.

    In order not to give money to Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng also went out of his way to leave a reputation for Lu Buwei. He wrote a notice inside the newly renovated Xianyang Library to express his gratitude to Lu Buwei for his contribution to his restaurant so that everyone in the world could read more books.  Come out and transform it into a library for everyone to use.

    ¡°In this way, Lu Buwei gained fame, Yingzheng saved money, and everyone could have books to read. It was simply a great thing to have the best of all three, killing three birds with one stone.

    With the advent of paper and books.

    The first people to be shocked and crazy about this were obviously the people in Xianyang City, mainly the scholars and scholars from hundreds of schools of thought in Xianyang City.

    They were shocked and crazy to take advantage of themselves and other ordinary civilians with Daqin household registration.

    After purchasing a large amount of paper.

    They immediately passed the news to their motherland, their relatives and friends, and even their brothers, masters, and other students in the same school. Fearing that others would not believe it, they reluctantly took some of the paper they finally bought.  Come out and send it out with the letter.

    Of course, this is stupid.

    What¡¯s more, it¡¯s actually better to write a letter directly on paper and have someone send it back. In this way, not only the information is sent back, but the paper is also sent back.

    Although information transmission in various countries was relatively slow at this time, the emergence of paper and books was too shocking. Therefore, half a month later, the Qin State invented a new text carrier, which was much cheaper than bamboo slips, and  The news that it was even more convenient than bamboo slips quickly spread throughout the seven countries, and the paper and some books also reached the hands of various academic schools as the news spread.

    That was really an uproar all over the world, and hundreds of schools of thought were shocked.

    People are constantly coming to Da Qin.

    Even though the year has passed, I still have to come.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
