"The veteran feels that it is more appropriate to appoint Mr. Du as one of the general managers of the Ministry of Water Resources."
Bigan was in debt and recommended an old minister.
The person he recommended was Du Yuanxian, a third-generation important official like him, who is now serving as the eunuch of Si Tianjian.
Di Xin then thought about it, Si Tianjian seemed to be quite good as the general manager of the Ministry of Water Resources.
But these old guys are definitely loyal, but they are too pedantic, and it always makes him uneasy to be the only one in charge.
"As the director of the Ministry of Water Resources, Mr. Du is indeed a good candidate. Do you have any other suitable people to recommend? If not, let Mr. Du be the director first."
"I have no objection."
If the ministers have no objections, let's appoint Du Yuanxian as the head of the new department first.
Now that we have talked about the Dragon Clan, we can rest assured for now.
Just when Emperor Xin was preparing to discuss the issue of education with the ministers,
Two two-meter-tall strong men came into the main hall, carrying a mountain-like memorial and pressed over them.
"This is a reminder that the king has ignored the government's affairs recently." Shang Rong said.
This memorial...
The number of memorials is too large. Even if he has the ability, after approving so many memorials, his arm design will not work anymore.
It seems that paper must be made quickly, not to mention how can education work without paper?
Writing on paper is definitely more convenient than writing on bamboo slips!
"I plan to build a school in Chaoge so that school-age children can go to school. What do you think, dear friends?"
Several ministers looked at each other, and after a while Bigan stood up and said.
"It is a great thing to enlighten the people, but the treasury of our great merchant is already stretched thin, so I am afraid it will be difficult to provide funds."
Because the world was in turmoil before, it was difficult to unify, and the national treasury was extremely empty. Coupled with the previous flood disaster, it was even more stretched, and the people were struggling to make ends meet.
As for schools, it is definitely a good thing in the long run to inspire people's wisdom, but it is also a big expense.
"Then let's try building a small school. That's it. My dear friends, do you know if there is any paper that can replace the bamboo slips?"
Lack of money is not a problem. After all, I am a person who has traveled through time. Making money is just a matter of minutes and a piece of cake.
Glass, sugar, salt, aren't they all great ideas that make money quickly?
The main reason is that I can't do without these pedantic ministers, and I'm afraid they will act like monsters again.
Shang Rong looked at Bigan and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the bamboo slips? Why should they be replaced?"
Bigan spread his hands: "I don't know either."
Then Bigan looked at Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu, who usually hung out with the king.
How could Huang Feihu react? He had never heard or seen what the king said.
Seeing the confused expressions of the ministers in front of him, Di Xin knew that there was no paper in the mythical world.
This kind of business opportunity is hard to come by. When the time comes for him to monopolize the papermaking technology, wouldn't he be able to count the money until his hands cramp up?
"As for the paper replacing bamboo slips, I was inspired by the residue left behind when women washed mulberry, hemp and silk. Please take a look, my dear."
Di Xin immediately waved his hand, and someone from the palace brought some extremely thin flakes to him.
"This wadding is pressed by women after washing the excess residue of mulberry, flax and silk. It has the characteristics of winding silk into threads, so I had a whim and wanted to make this thing more precise so that it can replace the bulky bamboo slips.
"
After speaking, he ordered the palace officials to pass these clips around to all the ministers for a look.
"If such a thin and light thing can really replace bamboo slips for writing, it can benefit the world and be praised by the world for eternity."
"This thing is extremely exquisite, and the king's wisdom is unparalleled. It will be famous for centuries and will last forever."
All the ministers were shocked, and the tips of their eyebrows were trembling with excitement.
Shang Rong and Bigan were even more impressed.
The ministers praised him for a long time, but it was of no use. They could do nothing.
It is definitely better for Di Xin to find a way on his own and write down the specific process more carefully so that he can hand it over to others with confidence.
This matter was almost finished and he withdrew from the court.
After announcing his resignation from the court, Emperor Xin originally wanted Huang Feihu to help find a few people to prepare for papermaking.
The guard came to report: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Grand Master is back."
!?!?
Everyone in Di Xin was stunned and confused.
I heard that as the seventy-two princes, the Grand Master's crusade against Yuan Fu in Beihai would take eight years, wouldn't it?
Eight years later, the original King Zhou had already almost destroyed the Great Shang Dynasty.
Now the people love me so much, and I have done a lot of good things.
Why did this big brother come back so quickly?
Could it be because he traveled through time and destroyed history, and then escaped back after hearing that the Grand Master was beaten to pieces?
Di Xin was immediately confused, but he still had all the greeting etiquette that was expected.
This Grand Master Wen is the real eldest brother. His prestige is higher than that of the Human Emperor, and his status is also lower than that of one person. He is extremely powerful.
Moreover, the whip used to beat the king to death and beat the sycophant is still in his hand!
Outside the palace, an old man was sitting on a black unicorn.
Although the old man has gray hair on his temples, he is full of energy, his face is rosy, and he is wearing battle armor and has a formidable aura.
A pair of eyes like an eagle are calm and intimidating, without any turbidity in the eyes of an ordinary old man.
Even if Di Xin has the emperor buff, he is still a little frightened when facing this big boss.
Another thing about this old man that is different from ordinary people is that he has an eye on his forehead, but it is not open now.
"Wen Taishi, why are you reorganizing the army? Could it be that Beihai was defeated?"
Emperor Xin was worried. He defended the Western Zhou Dynasty, but he missed a move and was defeated by Beihai.
Wen Taishi shook his head lightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the war in Beihai is all under the control of my great merchant. It will only be settled sooner or later. I have already handed over to the deputy general Xing Huan and Deng Zhong to lead the army in Beihai. I will return to Chaoge first.
"
Hearing what the Grand Master said, Di Xin felt relieved. Fortunately, Beihai was not defeated. It would have been very troublesome.
After understanding the cause and effect, he approached and took Mo Qilin in hand, preparing to return to the palace with Master Wen.
