Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 48 Ancestral Dragon Raid, Chaotang Reform

They speculated for a long time, but they still didn't come to any conclusion.

The first emperor protected this mysterious man very well.

Every time the incognito clothes go out of the palace, they don't even bring a single person with them.

Except for those shadow guards who can only hide in the shadows, no one knows where Zulong went or how many people he met.

They only know that every time Zulong leaves the palace, he will gain something.

When he left the palace for the first time, His Majesty knew the truth about the poisonous elixir, so he killed Xu Fu directly. A large number of alchemists in Xianyang are still imprisoned in the prison.

When he left the palace for the second time, His Majesty found out that Ye Shen, the Shaofu, had privately transferred the imperial army. He not only killed Ye Shen, but also reprimanded a large number of high-ranking officials.

When he left the palace for the third time, His Majesty proposed the imperial examination system, which directly threatened the foundation of Daqin's current aristocratic political system.

For the fourth time out of the palace, His Majesty took out movable type printing, and half of the education problems of the imperial examination system were solved.

When he left the palace for the fifth time, His Majesty discovered that Nei Shi Yuan Sui was oppressing the people, not only beheaded Yuan Sui, but also put his family under house arrest.

For the sixth time out of the palace, His Majesty summoned Wei Yu and gave him the technique of making paper. Although he didn't know where it was used, it still made people feel uneasy...

All the ministers sorted out His Majesty's recent actions after leaving the palace and returning, feeling tired...

And hidden behind it is fear.

The so-called recent actions of the first emperor were either to kill high-ranking officials and favorite ministers, or to carry out imperial examinations to dig out the foundation of the nobility.

If it continues like this, I am afraid that one day, it will fall on my own head.

So, they are cheating eager to know, who is that mysterious man?

Even if you can't form an alliance with him, you must at least know his next plan and prepare early.

They knew that the mysterious person didn't necessarily want to deal with them specifically.

However, the peripheral impact of his random action may cause you great damage, isn't this even more terrifying?
When Wei Yu finally walked out of the workshop, Zu Long called a court meeting at the right time.

All the ministers looked at Wei Yu, who was unkempt and smelly, who seemed to have just crawled out of a garbage dump, and secretly complained in their hearts.

An important official of the imperial court, the deputy of one of the nine ministers, and a middle-level official of Daqin came to the imperial court just like this.

Aren't you afraid of being punished by His Majesty for a crime of disrespect in the court?
Sure enough, a censor came forward and pointed out Wei Yu's disrespect.

Zu Long glanced casually, had someone beat Yushi ten times, and then announced Wei Yu's promotion to the Shaofu.

Chaotang suddenly became chaotic.

Wei Yu was promoted to Shaofu!

This... This is against the rules!

Jiuqing has a high status, but Jiuqing's deputy can not be regarded as a high-ranking official.

This is because Jiuqing each has specific management matters.

Take the Shaofu as an example, responsible for managing all the craftsmen in Daqin.

And their deputy is in charge of specific affairs.

Jiuqing is one of the 12 most honorable people in the court.

Their deputy status is even lower than that of the sheriffs of the 49 counties across the country.

And most of the people who can participate in the court meeting are higher than the county guards!
Therefore, although Wei Yu is the deputy of the Shaofu, his status is actually not high.

It's just that he has a clear understanding of various categories of handicrafts, so he was put in this position.

And now this person has reached the sky in one step and became the Shaofu!
Zu Long seemed to be in a good mood, and he even explained: .

"My lords, the reason why Wei Yu lost his dignity in front of the palace was because of my painstaking efforts for Daqin! I want a reward!"

"The censor knew about this, but he went out for impeachment and impeachment. As a censor, he didn't understand the truth and didn't check the facts. He should be punished!"

"All right!"

As soon as Zu Long waved his hand, an eunuch immediately held a stack of pure white silk papers and distributed one to each minister present.

"My lords, this is the fetish made by Wei Yu, who forgot to sleep and eat. Do you know what it is?"

Li Si touched the paper in his hand and asked tentatively: .

"I heard that Mr. Wei never leaves the workshop day and night, so he is making paper. Could this be the paper Mr. Wei made?"

Zulong nodded.

Everyone present was shocked again!

This news was even more surprising than when they heard that Wei Yu had become the Shaofu!
Although Daqin's paper is relatively rare, the senior officials present have seen it.

The paper called "Fangxu" is not only rough and dull in color, but also mostly palm-sized with uneven edges.

The paper handed out by the eunuch was the size of a human face.

Not to mention the white color, the surface is extremely smooth!
And, most importantly, these papers are all boxy, obviously cut from a larger paper!

Holding the paper in both hands, Meng Yi tried to pull it, but found that the paper was extremely tough, and it took some effort from his hands to tear it.

He asked the eunuch for dozens more sheets, stacked the dozens of sheets together, and tried again.

I can't tear it!
He was overjoyed. He never expected that the improved papermaking technique could reach such a level!

The old-fashioned paper is light, easy to carry, and hidden, so it was used to convey military information very early.

The scouts led Fang Xu forward, it was extremely difficult to be exposed, and they also accelerated their speed.

But because it is too fragile, it is easy to lose the content after being carried for hundreds of miles.

And this paper is so tough, obviously there will be no such problems again!

He told the doctor Yushi next to him about his discovery, and sure enough, the doctor Yushi also tried to tear it up, but it didn't work either.

"This level of quality...if the cost is a little lower, the delivery of court documents will be much more convenient in the future!"

Doctor Yu Shi did not pay attention to the military, but to the documents of the imperial court.

Now His Majesty's daily review of the memorial's bamboo slips reaches hundreds of catties, with these papers, only a thin stack is enough!
Of course, this thinness is to compare the number of bamboo slips before.

Just like Meng Yi and Doctor Yushi, the people in the entire court were discussing the new paper.

Zu Long coughed lightly, and the hall quickly became quiet.

"Today, I really want to announce a big event!"

Zu Long circled the ministers with his eyes, and said: .

"I have been out on tour many times in micro-services recently, and what I have seen and heard is shocking!"

"Above the court, there are groups of dignitaries, and as far as the eye can see, they are all in-laws!"

"Outside the court, officials fish and flesh the common people, stealing and plundering, and the people are in dire straits!"

"I have introspected for many days, but I know this matter. It is me and the system of Daqin that is flawed!"

"Therefore, the ministers were summoned recently to carry out reforms before the court! Reorganize the atmosphere from top to bottom!"

Everyone was stunned by Zulong's sudden attack.

Since the leak of the imperial examination system, everyone knows that Zu Long has already started to change the Great Qin Dynasty.

It's just that no one would have thought that this incident would come so suddenly!

"Your Majesty, no! My Great Qin Law came from Lord Shang, and it works well, so it cannot be easily changed!"

All of a sudden, everyone knelt down and began to dissuade Zulong!
