They wanted to be literate and useful to Great Qin in the future!
Studying,
his child could study!
Kneeling on the ground, Liao had even forgotten his fear of Ying Zixuan.
He raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.
Most of the eunuchs in the palace came from poor families, so they could earn some money to support their families, their children, or their siblings.
That was why he chose to enter the palace.
Otherwise, which man would be willing to die without descendants?
In the current Great Qin, the price of being able to read and write was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Firstly, if one wanted to learn to read, they had to pay a high tuition fee.
Knowledge was very expensive.
Secondly, to read and write, one needed to buy books and prepare brush and ink. Great
Qin's books were mostly sheepskin scrolls, brocade cloth, and bamboo slips.
The cheapest of them all, the price of the bamboo slips, was enough for a family of five to eat and wear for a year.
Moreover, this was just the most ordinary of miscellaneous notes.
For example, some medical books, military books, business books,
the price of these books was something that ordinary people could not hope to obtain in their entire lives.
Not only that, sometimes, even if you had money, people would not sell it to you.
At this moment, Liao Ke heard that his child could study.
"Your Highness! Liao Ke couldn't repay His Highness 'kindness. He could only work for His Highness for generations to repay His Highness' kindness!”
After Liao Ke finished speaking, he knocked his head heavily on the ground.
If his child could study, then he would have a chance to change his fate in the future.
Once the child entered the official career, the fate of their family for generations would change.
How could he forget such a great favor?
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and get up. I don't like to see others kneel in front of me. It looked awkward
. Your Highness, this servant will arrange for someone to start studying the softer paper you mentioned. If I can't figure it out, then I won't be able to face Your Highness anymore!”
"There's no rush. Now, arrange for someone to cut these papers into four pieces and send them to my bedroom.”
"Yes!"
...
The appearance of the paper made Ying Zi Xuan's mood greatly improve.
After reminding Liao Ke to pay attention to fire and moisture resistance, Ying Zi Xuan took some cut paper and returned to his own bedroom.
He was prepared to copy some of the books in his bedroom and some of the things he had written down in his free time.
It was not only tiring to read on bamboo slips, but it was also inconvenient.
Now that he had the paper, he naturally had to make a good turn.
"Your Highness is overjoyed! I'm so happy, Your Highness. It's grown out, Your Highness. It's all grown out!"
Ying Zi Xuan had just laid out a piece of paper and the Crystal Salamander was grinding ink for him at the side.
However, just as he picked up the brush, a ghostly cry came from outside the hall.
And that mouth full of vicious words, hearing it made Ying Zi Xuan's wrist tremble, a piece of paper was considered scrapped.
"I say, Meng Yi, can't you stop panting when you speak? And what are you talking about?”
Ying Zi Xuan looked at Meng Yi who ran to the door, one hand supporting himself against the wall, panting heavily.
His face was filled with speechlessness.
"Your Highness, it's all grown out. It's a huge green patch. It looks delightful!”
Meng Yi hadn't noticed his loss of composure and the meaning in his words.
She was still excited.
"Alright, alright. I know that His Highness has already grown out. Then may I ask, which His Highness did you plant? And you're so green. I suddenly want to slap you.”
"What? Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too excited. Your Highness, please don't blame me.”
After Meng Yi heard Ying Zi Xuan's complaints, he finally noticed that he had lost his composure.
He hurriedly stood up straight and bowed to Ying Zi Xuan.
Only then did he slowly say.
"Your Highness, outside Xianyang City, the corn seeds planted by the Meng and Wang families have grown out, and the growth is very gratifying!”
"Oh! That was indeed a great joy! You came at the right time. I have a few tasks for you.”
"Sigh, if Your Highness has any instructions, you can just say it. Meng Yi will definitely do his best.”
"Alright, copy all the books on these two bookshelves on these papers.”
“...”
After Ying Zi Xuan finished speaking, he directly stood up and brought the Crystal Salamander out.
Before she left, she did not forget to pat him on the shoulder.
"Remember to categorize it after you're done copying. Thank you for your hard work. I'm going out of the city to take a look at the cornfields.”
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Meng Yi was left dumbstruck as he looked at the tall bookshelf that was more than ten meters long.
Each grid was filled with bamboo slips, sheepskin scrolls, and brocade books.
Was he supposed to copy it alone?
This was probably going to kill him!
"Your Highness, wait for me! This lowly official's ability is truly limited. I'm afraid I can't complete this mission! Your Highness, why don't I invite Prime Minister Li Si over for you? His ability was outstanding, so he was definitely qualified!”
"Hahaha... Alright, I was just joking with you. Let's go outside the city and take a look at Great Qin's future national treasure!”
"Hey, hey... Your Highness, please, please!"
