Li Zhi nodded and gave Bi Gan a seat. He said to Bi Gan,"Imperial Uncle, may I ask you, how did you do the thing I gave you last time?”
Bi Gan thought for a moment and said to Li Zhi,"Is Your Majesty making those paper-making techniques?"”
Li Zhi nodded.
"Yes."
Bigan said to Li Zhi,""We have some progress. It won't be long before the paper that His Majesty mentioned is produced!”
Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard that. He said to Bigan,"Oh? There's actually such a good thing. Royal uncle, bring me to take a look!”
After Bi Gan heard Li Zhi's words, he quickly brought Li Zhi into the Ministry of Works.
When he entered the Ministry of Works, Li Zhi discovered that this place was strictly guarded. There were almost countless brave soldiers guarding it in the open or in the dark. Not to mention people, even a sparrow could not fly in.
Moreover, Li Zhi taught them how to operate these things in the way of the underground city. The first floor was used as an ordinary building, but a larger space had been dug underground to do more hidden things.
After following Bigan down to the first underground floor, Li Zhi found that it was refreshing underground. He knew that there must be a skilled craftsman who had set up the underground ventilation system very well.
Inside, Li Zhi found a bronze machine. This machine was made according to the blueprint of the ritual system. It was used to polish trees, bamboo, straw, and the like. After grinding, it was carefully screened and then used to make paper.
Looking at the machine in front of him, someone used a lever to move the machine. The internal gears of the machine were driven. Although the manpower was limited, the acceleration of the gears could reach the point where the machine could run.
Although it was a little laborious, Li Zhi was helpless.
After all, it was still impossible to produce electricity now. However, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and thought about the Thunder God and Lightning Mother. When the time comes, I'll control them and make them produce electricity for me.
From the looks of it, Li Zhi knew that it would not be long before the paper industry would develop.
Li Zhi said in satisfaction,"Imperial Uncle, you've worked hard. We need to make paper items appear as soon as possible. Bamboo slips take up less space and are too inconvenient.”
Bi Gan naturally understood the importance of this, so he said to Li Zhi,"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Then, Li Zhi returned to the palace.
Sure enough, ten days later, Bi Gan brought the first batch of paper to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi found that although the quality of these paper products was average, it was better than nothing. Looking at these, he was extremely happy. Then, he handed the movable type printing technique to Bigan.
Moving type printing wasn't difficult, but it was impossible to come up with without some clever ideas. Bigan was even more pleasantly surprised when he saw moving type printing.
Then, Li Zhi said to Bi Gan," Recently, I've been thinking about something. It seems like a flash of inspiration. It's what the Heavenly Dao said. It's to open the minds of the people. I have a big announcement in three days!”
After Li Zhi finished speaking, Bi Gan's eyes lit up. He knew what kind of ability this Emperor in front of him had! Not to mention a shocking technique like the paper making technique.
It was as if the art of making paper was nothing in His Majesty's eyes, and Bigan was looking forward to something that even His Majesty thought was a big deal.
For the past three days, Li Zhi had been writing and drawing without leaving the house with these papers.
Fortunately, his cultivation was so profound that even if he did not rest for three days and three nights, it would not affect him much.
Three days later, the court was shaken, and His Majesty King Zhou sat on the throne.
Beside him was a tray with four books on it.
