In Zhangtai Palace, all the civil and military officials were amazed by the Xuan paper that had appeared out of nowhere!
A bold thought appeared in the minds of all the officials…
"Could it be that this Xuan paper was also the invention of the Inner Pass Marquis?”A bold thought appeared in the minds of all the officials and couldn't be dismissed!
Looking at the shocked faces of all the officials, Ying Zheng said leisurely,""Are you all guessing about Xuan paper? Not bad! The paper you wrote on was also purchased from the manor inside the pass…"
"Your Majesty, this thing has really appeared out of nowhere. Writing a book on bamboo slips is time-consuming and laborious, and it's not easy to carry around. However, even if it's a 10,000-word book, it won't even reach one or two layers…If it's written on bamboo slips, I'm afraid it'll take five carriages to carry it!”
All of a sudden, all the officials in the court looked at Han Qiu with no contempt.
The sudden emergence of the art of making paper made the civil officials of the imperial court view Han Qiu in a new light.
Han Qiu did not expect that the First Emperor would try his best to win him over during his first court session.
……
Han Qiu knew very well that everything the First Emperor did was to pave the way for Han Qiu to become an official in the court!
Right now, Han Qiu was only a Marquis of the Inner Pass and had no real power.
If he were to confer Han Qiu with a position of authority in court, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the officials.
What Ying Zheng was doing now was to shut up the mouths of all the officials. Wang Wan was most jealous of Han Qiu being conferred the title of Marquis of the Inner Pass, so he had to shut up Wang Wan first!
Thus, the Right Prime Minister was slapped in the face in the court!
Now that all the officials were convinced, it would be easy for Han Qiu to be given the position of authority!
……
However, Han Qiu did not expect Qin Shihuang to be so well-informed. More than ten days ago, Han Qiu had just taken out the art of paper making and asked Xiao He and his servants to make some Xuan paper for use. Who knew that when he went to court today, the First Emperor had already made hundreds of Xuan paper.
It was obvious that the First Emperor already knew the steps and formula for making Xuan paper.
Although Han Qiu had set up a trap in Xianyang and the First Emperor's power was part of his plan, the First Emperor's strength was beyond Han Qiu's imagination.
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty craftsmen were too shrewd. They copied the gourd and dished out the ladle perfectly!
It was obvious that the First Emperor had planted spies among the servants in the inner palace, and he knew the recipe for the Xuan paper.
In his later life, Han Qiu had heard that the First Emperor had an intelligence unit under his command. This intelligence unit was known as the Black Ice Platform. After seeing it today, the Black Ice Platform's ability to monitor the world was indeed extraordinary!
……
However…
The Xuan paper, abacus, and other items were not what Han Qiu wanted to offer!
These items were all leaked by Han Qiu to the First Emperor. They were just the tip of the iceberg!
……
Ying Zheng looked at the craftsmen who were using various tools to draw the restoration of Zhangtai Palace and said,""Alright, show the restoration you drew to the beloved ministers…"
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished drawing it!”
"There's no need to draw it. I just want to let all the beloved ministers see the effect of the paper!”By the time Ying Zheng finished speaking, Li Si and Wang Wan had already taken over the paper used by the craftsmen to draw the restoration of Zhangtai Palace.
Fine lines were drawn on the blueprint, precise and meticulous, showing every detail…
Great Qin's maps were all made of sheepskin, and the lines were rough.
Xuan paper displayed its unique superiority.
"Your Majesty…this item is truly magical! This old minister has never added such a magical item! God bless Great Qin!"
General Wang Jian was extremely excited.
He clearly saw the importance of Xuan paper. If Xuan paper could be promoted on a large scale, all the students in the world would have books to read!
Why would the Great Qin Empire not be strong?
When all the civil and military officials saw Wang Jian speak, they looked at the First Emperor. They all guessed the First Emperor's intentions!
……
Ying Zheng looked at Han Qiu in delight, then said with a smile,"" It's my fortune to have such a talent like the Inner Pass Marquis…"
The entire court was in an uproar.
They had never heard the First Emperor praise someone like this before.
"The appearance of the Inner Pass Marquis saved Great Qin from its crisis. The talent of the Inner Pass Marquis is unprecedented. I believe that with the talent of the Inner Pass Marquis, he should be in charge of the world's money and grain.”
Hiss…
All the officials were stunned for a long time!
At this moment, Ying Ju, the former internal historian of Zhi Su, felt even more light-headed. If the Marquis of the Pass became the internal historian of Zhi Su, where would he go?
The Great Qin Empire established three dukes and nine ministers…
Not only did the nine ministers have high status, but they also had great power.
The chief justice was in charge of the criminal prison, and the internal history was in charge of the world's money and food!
Land rent, draft tax, calculation tax, change tax…
Salt, iron, wine production monopoly, engaged in equal loss, leveling and other commercial activities…
Water transport and allocation of resources, responsible for the salaries of state officials, military and political expenses and other financial expenses.
The central and local governments had officials in charge of various financial affairs.
……
When he was in court, Han Qiu had already guessed that the First Emperor would let him be an official in the court. He had also guessed some official positions, but Han Qiu had never expected that the First Emperor would let him control the world's money and grain!
Han Qiu was indeed overwhelmed by this gift.
A few days ago, Gao Lan had told him that he was worried that he would be bullied without an official position. Who would have thought that in just a dozen days, Han Qiu would first be conferred the title of Marquis of the Inner Pass, and now he would become one of the nine ministers, the internal history of grain management, and be in charge of the world's money and grain!
However, Han Qiu was also amazed by the First Emperor's talent. Among the nine ministers, the most suitable position for Han Qiu was the position of internal history.
Han Qiu's system space had many seeds of food. However, after the Qin Dynasty, Han Qiu had no official position, no status, no power, and all his ideas could not be realized!
However, once he became the internal historian of the grain and became the thirteen most powerful people in the world, other than the Emperor and the three dukes, Han Qiu would be able to do whatever he wanted!
……
In the imperial court, Ying Zheng looked at Han Qiu expectantly and said,""Lord of the Pass, are you willing to take charge of Great Qin's money and food and become the official in charge of the world's warehouses? The nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty are in charge of the internal history of grain!"
All the officials in the court looked at Han Qiu, waiting for his reply.
The First Emperor was still thirsty for talents, and just like when he first ascended the throne, he didn't stick to one style and promoted Li Si from Lu Buwei's henchman to the Prime Minister of the empire.
Back then, the pressure Li Si faced was even greater than the pressure Han Qiu faced!
After all, Han Qiu had only been granted the title of Marquis of the Inner Pass and the Nine Ministers, while Li Si had become the Prime Minister!
When Ying Zheng looked at Han Qiu, he actually started to worry. He was worried that Han Qiu would reject him. If a great talent like the Marquis of the Inner Pass didn't manage the world's money and food for him, it would be a reckless waste of God's gifts!
The entire court was also waiting for Han Qiu's decision. Once Han Qiu agreed to become the internal historian of grain and control the world's money and grain, he would be one of the most powerful men in the world!
