"Your Majesty!"
Xi Zhicai wailed in pain.
He had tried to stop taking the Five Stones Powder, but he felt as if countless ants were crawling all over his body. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as scratching his heart and liver.
"Minister Xi, my subordinate's life is all in your hands!”
The commander bowed and entrusted the task to him solemnly. For a top-notch wise man with great power, personal guards were not very useful.
As the saying goes,"guard against gentlemen but not against villains."
If Xi Zhicai was willing to let all his personal guards die for his own pleasure, then the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Ministry of Official Personnel would immediately become mortal enemies.
"Zhicai, I also have personal guards. They can be used as servants and guards on normal days.”
Minister Xun Yu comforted his old friend as someone who had been there before. With a few personal guards, it was quite convenient to have someone to help him with all kinds of matters.
He really couldn't take the Five Stones Powder anymore.
"I understand the logic, but it's too uncomfortable!”
"I'm the same. His Majesty reminded me not to wear too many sachets, but I neglected it. Now, my sense of smell has greatly reduced, and I still feel dizzy and nauseous from time to time!”
Minister Xun Yu felt extremely regretful. He gritted his teeth and said,""When we go back, I'll burn all my treasured sachets and encourage you!”
"Alright then!"
Xi Zhicai was like a frosted eggplant. He was sleepy and wanted to yawn. He looked extremely pitiful.
It was a pity.
No one pitied him.
"Your Majesty, we will return to the Imperial Physician Department to prescribe medicine for you!”
Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing packed up their medicine boxes and said goodbye. When they reached the palace gate, they couldn't help but turn their heads and say,""Your Majesty, don't forget about the 3,000 acolytes!”
Two Miracle Doctors.
They were all lured over by the 3,000 apprentices promised by the Emperor.
Everyone had the habit of being a good teacher. At the peak of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, their desire to revitalize medicine became stronger.
3,000 apprentices.
They were confident that they could nurture a group of top-notch medical experts for the country.
"I will not go back on my words.”
"Han Yan, go see the two divine doctors off." Liu Hong smiled and shook his head.”
"Here."
The two Miracle Doctors left.
The atmosphere in the palace instantly relaxed.
Previously, he did not say anything and directly took off his clothes and pants, causing his heart to feel a little unbearable.
"Zhen's trusted aides are all here tonight.”
"Your Majesty treats me as a national scholar, so I will repay you as a national scholar. I will die without regret!”×15
"Alright, get up. Don't be so serious.”
Liu Hong was extremely satisfied. He pushed the small sandalwood box on the table and smiled."I called you here for this! Open it and take a look."
The box opened.
There were more than ten pieces of paper filled with small words.
The first thing that attracted everyone's attention was that the paper was too clean and flat.
"Your Majesty, is this paper made from that paper-making technique?”
Minister Xun Yu's hands trembled as he carefully searched the paper. His eyes were filled with obsession.
In the dynasty, bamboo slips, silk, Cai Lun paper, and other things that could carry words would definitely produce ink halos when written with brush and ink.
No matter how good a calligraphy was, there would always be flaws in the words that were written, causing countless famous people to regret.
After the ink dried, the paper in front of him looked clean, giving people a comfortable feeling.
"Your Majesty, may I ask which famous calligrapher wrote the words on this paper?”
The commander noticed that not only were these words repeated, but any word he picked out was the same.
There was not even the slightest difference.
His control over writing was inferior.
"Eh?"
"How is this possible?"
"When people write words, they use different strength, different mental states, and different postures. Even if they write the same word, it's impossible to write two completely identical words. This is too unbelievable!”
"I'm afraid this isn't written by a human!"
The chief officer frowned and said with certainty.
Words and people were the same. It was impossible for people to have identical twins, and it was impossible for words to be so similar.
He had read countless books, and he had never seen anyone who could do it.
"There's something else?"
Minister Huang Zhong was a bowman after all. He noticed that there was something else in the sandalwood box after he took out the paper.
A square lead block.
Something was carved on the lead block.
There was a layer of ink on the surface.
"It's the word 'country'!"
The chief assistant grabbed the lead block, took a piece of paper, and covered the blank space.
The word "country" was extremely clear.
As if to verify his guess, the chief assistant stamped it a few more times, and the exact same "country" word appeared one after another.
"As expected, it wasn't written by a human!"
The chief assistant looked at the type and said thoughtfully,""But, it's especially useful!"
"What if all the characters of the dynasty were engraved on this lead block, and then the words were selected according to the text, arranged in the word plate, and painted on the paper?”
Minister Xun You's voice sounded.
To copy a book, one had to find a literate scholar and spend a lot of time to copy a book.
With lead, even an illiterate craftsman could make countless copies of books through carving and assembling them as long as they had enough paper.
White paper, printed words, too amazing.
It was so extreme that the aristocratic families that had been passed down for thousands of years and the wisdom of the people that they had tried their best to control could be easily destroyed.
Your Majesty!
Sage Monarch!
"Gongda is right. These ten or so articles were printed by Zhen through permutations and combinations.”
Liu Hong could feel the deep admiration from his officials and chuckled,""This technique is called movable type printing.
Gongda, the Ministry of Works 'task was even more important. Not only did they have to secretly make paper, but they also had to secretly create lead characters with carved words and print the important books of the country with movable type.”
"This matter is of great importance. I request the assistance of the military and the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
Minister Xun You felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders. He gritted his teeth and insisted,""If the news is leaked, the aristocratic families will have a life-and-death struggle!”
"Jia Xu."
"Your subject is here!"
"Huangfu Song!"
"Your subject is here!"
"Open all the names of the Embroidered Uniform Guards to Xun You.”
"Open the list of all the elite troops in the military to Xun You.”
"This…"
The commander and the assistant hesitated.
It was the biggest secret of the military and the intelligence organization. If Xun You knew about it, it would be a blessing or a curse.
"Bring him there."
"This subject obeys the decree!"×2
