In the royal study.
"Your Majesty, the huge amount of money that His Highness seized in Lu County will probably attract the attention of many people with ulterior motives.”
"Therefore, this humble subject wishes to set off as soon as possible. Your Majesty, please approve!”
Wang Ben bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.
"No rush!"
To Wang Ben's surprise, the First Emperor, who had been in a thunderous rage, calmed down after the courtiers left.
"This is Chang Feng's handwriting. You'll understand after reading it!”
Noticing the confusion in Wang Ben's eyes, Ying Zheng smiled and pointed at the letter on the table.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ben bowed again before he accepted the letter.
"This?"
"Your Highness Changfeng, you're really bold but meticulous!”
After a long while, Wang Ben put down the letter in his hand with a shocked look on his face.
"This kid's ideas are indeed bold. Sometimes, he can do something.
He was just a little too impatient and lacked some stability!”
"This time, I asked you to go personally because I hope that you can help him plan well and not let things get out of control!”
"I will give you a Tiger Tally. With it, you can mobilize all the troops except the border army!”
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ben bowed deeply, and his face turned serious.
As one of the most famous generals in Great Qin, Wang Ben knew that the wealth that Ying Changfeng had plundered was very attractive to the remnants of the Six Nations, who were eager to restore their country.
Although this idea of luring the snake out of its hole was ingenious, it was also quite dangerous for Ying Changfeng to commit suicide.
After all, Ying Changfeng only had one thousand cavalrymen, and they had been sent out to search for property. The number of soldiers in Lu County was extremely small.
To ensure Ying Changfeng's safety without causing too much commotion, it was not an easy task to capture all the remaining members of the six dynasties.
Even Wang Ben, who had been through countless battles together with his father, Wang Jian, was not confident that he would be able to defeat so many countries.
At this moment, Zhang Han stood up again.
"Your Majesty, this is the Mountain and River State Painting that His Highness Changfeng instructed to be submitted separately. Please take a look!”
While Wang Ben was still in a dilemma, Zhang Han suddenly took out a scroll from his back and handed it to him with both hands.
"Mountain and River State Painting?"
Ying Zheng received the scroll with an expectant look, but soon, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"The material of this topographic map is not any kind of silk, but it's the same as them. No, it's even lighter and smoother!”
"What kind of material is it?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Every day, he had to deal with countless memorials, and in his free time, he liked to keep a book in his hand. Therefore, Ying Zheng was absolutely familiar with the material of all kinds of books, but he had never recognized the material of this small scroll in front of him.
"According to Prince Eternal Wind, this is a new material called paper. Not only is it extremely convenient to write on, but it is also very cheap. It can be made from common bamboo and hemp.
If it could be promoted on a large scale, the cost of books would be reduced by several grades. Even commoners could afford to read them.”
"His Highness has already gathered many craftsmen in Lu County and used the money confiscated from the Residence of Confucius to develop this technology. He hopes that more of Great Qin's citizens can afford to study and work for the Imperial Court!”
Zhang Han quickly cupped his hands and replied.
"Not bad, Changfeng, this kid, his heart for the country is still very good!”
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Ben's eyes flashed with surprise.
Previously, he had only seen the decisive and reckless side of Prince Changfeng. He did not expect that he would actually have such achievements in the field of culture and education.
If what Zhang Han said was true, no, even if it was only two or three times, the situation of Great Qin's scholars being monopolized by the Confucian Sect and nobles would be completely broken.
No wonder the First Emperor loved Young Master Changfeng so much!
But soon, Wang Ben's face turned worried again.
After all, he was a general, and what he was most concerned about now was how to quickly and stealthily reach Lu County, so that he could wipe out the remnants of the six dynasties.
Otherwise, with Ying Changfeng's outstanding abilities, Wang Ben would never forgive himself if anything happened to him.
Wang Ben would be a sinner for the rest of his life if he allowed the massive fortune and the immeasurable technology of this new writing material to fall into the hands of a traitor.
On the other side, the First Emperor's gaze landed on the scroll again and he opened it gently.
Then, their eyes could not help but shine.
