"Moveable type printing, using clay to make a blank of the same size, engraving a single word at one end. The height of the word is the same as the thickness of the edge of the copper coin.
In order to adapt to the needs of typography, there were usually several or even dozens of commonly used words in preparation for repeated use in the same edition. If he encountered uncommon words, he could use them as he pleased if he did not prepare beforehand.
When printing, he only needed to brush ink on the template, cover it with paper, and apply a certain amount of pressure.
They could also print some stories about the happy lives of the commoners after the war, as well as some interesting things to improve Great Qin's image.
At that time, he would find a few obedient scholars to publicize some things that the imperial court wanted.
For example, the Great Qin Empire was the destiny of the heavens, the Emperor was the reincarnation of a god from the heavens, the six dynasties 'royal families were brutal, and the Confucian scholars slandered the imperial court.
Great Qin only had one voice.
His Majesty's voice!
This kind of thing that is printed and sent to the whole country is called a newspaper!”
The corners of Qin Mu's lips curled up, and he said with a smug smile,"
"Isn't it just controlling the direction of the fishing theory? Who's afraid of who?”
The First Emperor's eyes widened, and his fingers trembled slightly.
According to what Qin Mu said, after the paper was made, it would be printed and distributed to the entire country.
In that case, the world would only have the Emperor's voice!
and
The thin piece of paper was light, and it would be much easier to read documents in the future.
Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard the story.
To be able to use light paper to replace heavy bamboo slips was a blessing for scholars!
It would also be of great help to the implementation of the unified language.
Meng Tian nodded in agreement and voiced her doubts."
"But what if most of the people are illiterate?”
Pa!
Qin Mu snapped his fingers and said confidently,""Simple! He distributed the newspapers to all the major restaurants and forced them to read them every day. Which shop dared to disobey the orders of the government?
At that time, Great Qin's people would only be able to see and hear what the Emperor wanted them to see and hear.”
Li Si narrowed his eyes and felt excited.
If it was really as he said, the Emperor would no longer have to worry about the discussions of those Confucian scholars.
The reason why they were so wary was because they could use their knowledge to attack Great Qin's government.
When these words reached the ears of the people at the bottom, they would spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In the end, they would completely lose the hearts of the people.
However, with newspapers, the emperor's image in the hearts of the people would be greatly improved.
It was just as that kid had said.
Even if the destroyed royal families of the six dynasties were described as heinous and evil people who harmed the people, they would still be able to survive.
It was easy to describe the Confucian scholars as villains who deceived the common people.
When lies spread to everyone, they became the truth.
If that day really came, it would be a disaster for the Confucian scholars!
Ruthless, this was a truly ruthless person!
"Not bad, not bad!"
The First Emperor looked at his proud eldest son with a satisfied smile on his face.
Qin Mu was even more pleased with himself and suggested,""After the paper is made, it can be used as a special official document.
His Majesty could also bestow better Xuan paper to meritorious ministers.
Of course, it could also be sold.
This is the exclusive business of the government. Isn't the price up to you?
At that time, wouldn't he earn a lot of money?”
"Wonderful, wonderful! The godly doctor was so quick-witted that he could actually invent something like paper. This was simply a blessing for Great Qin!
If you assist His Majesty, Great Qin will last for tens of thousands of years!”
Li Si clapped his hands and praised, his tone filled with flattery.
He could invent paper and even think of a way to completely defeat the Confucian scholars.
Fu Su had already been fooled by the Confucian scholars. He only knew how to oppose the First Emperor's intentions and often made Laozi angry.
In comparison, this kid was much stronger!
It was already difficult to say who the future emperor would belong to.
Having followed the Emperor for decades, he could already tell from his subtle expression that the Emperor valued this child.
If this child could continue to share the Emperor's worries, he might really inherit the throne in the future!
If he didn't curry favor now, when would he?
The First Emperor was delighted and smiled. I'll leave the production of paper and newspapers to you!”
"Me?"
Qin Mu blinked his eyes and was dumbfounded.
Originally, they only wanted to write down the method of making paper so that they could make it themselves.
He was just giving out ideas. He had never thought of going into battle personally!
Now, he had a house, gold, and a luxurious carriage given by the emperor.
It could be said that he had all the cars, houses, and money.
Next, it was time to find eight or ten beautiful girls to talk about life ideals.
With so many things to do, where would he have the time to talk about his life dreams?
The First Emperor didn't care so much. The newspaper was of great importance, so it was naturally the responsibility of the person who understood it the most.
He had long had enough of the reckless chatter of those Confucian scholars. Now that he had a chance to counterattack, how could he not be anxious?
"Prime Minister, immediately recruit five thousand civilian workers. You can choose the location of the paper mill and newspaper printing.”
"Yes!"
Li Si hurriedly bowed.
With five thousand laborers, the paper mill would be completed in less than ten days.
When the paper mill was built, these laborers would automatically turn into labor to transport raw materials.
Qin Mu sat at the side and leisurely took a sip of red wine, feeling smug in his heart.
Not only could paper replace the heavy bamboo slips, but it could also bring Great Qin quite a bit of income.
Aren't those dignitaries scrambling to buy it?
The 120,000 wealthy families of the six states moved to Xianyang, and those were all fat sheep.
Earning money from the commoners was nothing. Earning money from those high-ranking officials and nobles would give him a greater sense of accomplishment!
He secretly thought to himself,"I can't just sit around and do nothing. I should start a side business." Paper was a national treasure that could not be privately owned, but it was easy to make money from other things!
……
The First Emperor was slightly tipsy. He sat in the heavily guarded carriage with a satisfied smile on his face.
Li Si sat at the side obediently and carefully observed the Emperor's expression.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty allow the Eldest Young Master to enter the court to assist? With Young Master's great talent, he would definitely be able to share the burden for His Majesty!”
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and subconsciously compared him to his other son, Fu Su.
He was so angry that he came out to relax after being supported by outsiders in the palace and speaking up for the Confucian scholars.
Unexpectedly.
Not only did he get to eat a delicious roasted lamb, but he also got to eat a newspaper!
It was an unexpected gain.
If the eldest son could continue to help him share his burdens and deal with the affairs of the court.
He really had the thought of passing the throne to his eldest son in the future.
However…
Out of guilt.
"Xuan 'er has just returned to Xianyang. Let him rest for a period of time first." The matter of entering the court as an official will be discussed later.”
"Yes!"
When Li Si heard this, he did not try to persuade her.
The First Emperor looked at the bright moon outside the window and smiled.
He muttered in his heart, I'll wait for you to play for a few days. Father has already prepared an official position for you!”
