Qin Hao was very satisfied with Huang Gun and Wen Zhong's performance after testing the crossbows.
"My four beloved ministers, now that our Great Shang army has these things, the chaos of the foreign races at the borders will no longer be a problem!”
" However, I am still not satisfied. It is good that there are no foreign races at the borders of Great Shang, but I hope to completely destroy Dongyi, Quan Rong, and the other foreign races. I hope to see the territories of Dongyi, Quan Rong, and the other foreign races merge into Great Shang's territory. I hope that in the future, the names of Dongyi, Quan Rong, and the other foreign races will no longer exist in this world!”
"Grand Preceptor, King Wuwei, King Wucheng, now that you have these three treasures of cavalry and these continuous bows, can you do what I just said?”
After saying that, Qin Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp as he stared at Wen Zhong, Huang Gun, and the others.
Upon hearing Qin Hao's domineering declaration and his sharp gaze, Wen Zhong, Huang Gun, and Huang Feihu's expressions suddenly turned solemn. They bowed at the same time and said firmly,"We will not let down the king's expectations. We will destroy Dongyi, Quan Rong, and the other races and expand our territory!”
"Good! I'm waiting for this day!"
Qin Hao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Shang Rong.
Seeing Qin Wu's gaze sweep over, Prime Minister Shang Rong smiled calmly: "Your Majesty has created the three treasures of cavalry and the crossbow, which are the most precious treasures in the army. That's why you summoned the Grand Preceptor and the others. But now that this old minister, the Prime Minister, is here, I believe that Your Majesty has also created treasures that can be used to deal with political affairs, right?”
Hearing Shang Rong's words, Wen Zhong and the others were shocked again. Then, they looked at Qin Hao. The invention of the three treasures of cavalry and the crossbow was already very shocking. So, they couldn't think of anything else that Qin Hao could make that wasn't inferior to these things.
Shang Rong and the others first looked at Qin Hao, then at the servants who had followed Qin Hao into the study.
Because whether it was the saddle, stirrings, reins, or the crossbow, they were all held in the hands of these servants. Therefore, the things that Qin Hao prepared to give Shang Rong must be in the hands of these servants.
However, the things in the hands of the servants were the same as before. Wen Zhong and the others still couldn't understand anything.
In the hands of the few servants, each of them was holding a slightly yellowish, very thin, and cloth-like square object.
A servant beside him was holding a foot-long wooden stick that was as thick as a child's finger. There was a tuft of hair at the bottom of the stick.
In the hands of another chamberlain, there was something the size of a brick, black in color and similar to a stone. There was also a black stone about the length of a finger in this black thing.
In the hands of the last servant were two stacks of slightly yellowish, very thin, silk-like things, on which many small words were densely written.
These items did not emit any precious light, nor were they made of expensive items. They indeed looked very ordinary.
However, with the shock brought by the three treasures of the cavalry and the crossbow, Wen Zhong and the others did not look down on these things at all.
Prime Minister Shang Rong also looked at these items with a solemn expression.
"Hahahahaha! Don't worry! Old Prime Minister, these items will not disappoint you!”Qin Hao laughed loudly.
Then, Qin Hao took all the items from the hands of the chamberlains, just like how he had demonstrated the crossbow.
"Old Prime Minister, three beloved ministers, look carefully!”
Hearing Qin Hao's words, Shang Rong and the others all widened their eyes and looked carefully, afraid that they might have made a mistake.
Qin Hao first held the black thing that was about the size of a brick in his hand.
"This thing is called an inkstone!"
As Qin Hao introduced the inkstone, he asked the chamberlain to add some water to the inkstone. Then, he picked up the finger-sized black stone and gently rubbed it.
"This thing is called an ink stick!"
The clear water that was placed in the concave part of the inkstone quickly turned black under the grinding of the ink stick.
Then, Qin Hao took the one-foot-long thing that was as thick as a child's finger and had a lock of hair at the bottom. He dipped the hairy part of the thing into the ink in the concave part of the inkstone.
"This thing is called a writing brush!"
As Qin Hao introduced, his hands did not stop moving. Then, he took the slightly yellowish, very thin, and silk-like square object.
"This thing is called paper!"
Then, Qin Hao placed the paper on the table and picked up the brush that was dipped in ink. As Qin Hao waved his hand, Shang Rong, Wen Zhong, and the others saw words gradually forming on the paper as he waved the brush.
"This is... This... This paper, inkstone, brush, ink stick, could be mass-produced?”As a civil official, Shang Rong was the first to react. He asked with a trembling voice.
"Of course it's easy to make!" Qin Hao answered with certainty.
"Good! Alright! With this brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, from now on, when the civil and military officials of Great Shang submit memorials to the King or when I deal with government affairs, I won't have to waste my energy preparing beast bones and tortoise shells, nor do I have to waste my energy carving words on them with knives. These things are really not inferior to the three treasures of cavalry and the crossbow!”
"Moreover, with this brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, it will be very easy to record and pass on the history of our human race. There's no need to worry about losing it. These items created by the king can really benefit future generations. Such achievements can simply be compared to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!”
The more Shang Rong spoke, the more excited he felt. He also felt that this brush, ink, paper, and inkstone had endless magical uses. It was simply an important weapon of the country.
After his excitement, Shang Rong looked at the two stacks of papers. In the next moment, his breathing quickened.
"Your Majesty, what are these two things?”
Shang Rong's voice was trembling and stuttering. He vaguely felt that these two stacks of paper were more precious than ink, brush, paper, and inkstone. They were even more shocking!
"The things written on these two stacks of paper were comprehended by this one after receiving Heaven's Perception. This one believes that these things are very useful for the development of Great Shang, so old prime minister can take a look first.”
Qin Wu's tone suddenly became mysterious as he handed a stack of papers to Shang Rong.
Looking at this stack of paper, Shang Rong saw the words " Shang King Arithmetic ".
Shang Rong subconsciously opened the Arithmetic of the Shang King. He had planned to just roughly browse through it and know what was recorded in it. After all, Qin Hao, Wen Zhong and the others were present. He couldn't ignore them and study it carefully.
But who knew that when he looked, he was immediately immersed in it. The more he read, the more excited he became. Shang Rong was sometimes deep in thought, sometimes confused, sometimes frowning, and sometimes enlightened!
After Shang Rong read a few pages of the Shang Prince's Arithmetic, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately took another stack of paper from the servant's hand.
On the first page of the stack of papers were written the words 'Shang King's Medical Book'.
Shang Rong couldn't wait to read it. This time, he flipped it very slowly. Every time he flipped a page, his face would show the same complicated expression as before.
Qin Hao didn't disturb him, and Wen Zhong and the other two naturally wouldn't disturb him either.
A long time passed.
After Shang Rong carefully read these two books, he solemnly handed them back to the inner servant. Then, Shang Rong's expression became serious as he solemnly knelt down towards Qin Hao. Both his hands and forehead were on the ground as he gave a prostrate bow. He solemnly said,"These two books of the Great King, be it the Shang King's Arithmetic or the Shang King's Medical Book, as long as these two books exist, it will be of great merit to the people of Great Shang!”
