"This thing is called Xuan paper. It's a good thing. After the morning court session, I'll send someone to look for a place to sell it.”
"Compared to bamboo slips, this thing is much better. I have to make some for myself!”
"However, I've never heard of it. I don't think you can find it in the entire Xianyang City.”
"Aiya, since the Ninth Young Master can take out the Xuan paper, why don't we ask him later?”
……
After hearing Ying Ziyun's introduction, all the ministers were tempted.
With the Xuan paper, there was no need to bring roll after roll of bamboo slips to the morning court. They were extremely heavy and could not hold many words.
It was not only the ministers who had the same thoughts, but also Ying Zheng.
"Yun 'er, where did you buy this Xuan paper?”
Ying Ziyun smiled and continued.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, Xuan paper is a special quality of your son and is not sold anywhere.”
"If Imperial Father is interested, your son will make another batch and give it to Imperial Father.”
He found such a reason, which was considered as an answer to Ying Zheng.
Ying Ziyun began to ponder in his heart. Xuan paper was a good thing. How could he use it to make his wallet bulge?
If they could use it properly, they could bring in more funds to Great Qin's empty treasury and make things more convenient for the people.
Right now, Great Qin's bamboo slips were very expensive, but they were indispensable for reading.
Therefore, those who could afford to study were almost all dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and gentry.
Even if the children from poor families had the talent to read, they could only turn to farming when faced with the price of bamboo slips.
However, Xuan paper was different. The cost was extremely low, so the price naturally did not have to be set so high.
The effect was even stronger than Ying Ziyun's. Most importantly, even the disciples of the Humble Class could use it!
"Good, my son has made a name for himself!"
When he learned that it was Ying Ziyun's own research and development, Ying Zheng felt proud from the bottom of his heart, and was very gratified.
Today, even Ying Zheng was shocked.
Not only was his son, the bastard that he looked down on the most, brave and resourceful, but he also had wonderful ideas and even invented a divine item!
Ying Zheng was a man of some sort, and he was certain that after the appearance of Xuan paper to replace bamboo slips, this change would definitely be recorded in the annals of history.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to say something, a voice was heard.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, this is your son's answer. Imperial Father, please take a look.”
The person who spoke was the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su.
Ever since he saw Ying Ziyun's calligraphy skills on the Xuan paper, Fu Su knew that he was indeed no match for Ying Ziyun in terms of calligraphy.
However, Fu Su believed that his answer was the best among all the princes.
Because he had carefully read Ying Ziyun's answer on the paper.
Ying Ziyun wrote that there was a way to resolve this!
He even made big promises and said that money and food were just trivial matters…
Such an arrogant statement had no practical meaning and was not likable.
This was also the reason why Fu Su dared to send his answer over.
After all, Ying Zheng had raised a practical problem, and the key to this assessment was to give a solution, not to write beautifully.
"Imperial Father, your son has finished answering. Please take a look.”
"Imperial Father, your son has also finished writing."
……
With their eldest brother, Fu Su, leading the way, these indignant princes each sent their own answers.
They were indeed shocked by Ying Ziyun's calligraphy skills, but at the same time, they looked down on Ying Ziyun's answer from the bottom of their hearts.
What kind of answer was that if there was no solution at all…
"Alright, put them all down."
Ying Zheng reluctantly placed the Xuan paper in his hands aside, then took over the bamboo slips of the other princes and began to flip through them.
"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure?"
"This method is not bad…"
This was the solution proposed by Fu Su. After reading it, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
However, this solution had been discussed countless times by the ministers. The effect was there, but it was not great.
Now, Great Qin had already restrained itself.
The source taxes that could be increased had already been increased.
However, the problem of insufficient money and food had not been solved.
Sighing slightly, Ying Zheng continued reading the answers of the other princes.
As expected, they were all old methods that had been mentioned before. Some princes even said empty words and only knew how to shout slogans.
These answers could not solve the actual problem at all!
After reading it over and over again, Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, his face looking a little embarrassed.
Finally, he found Ying Ziyun's answer.
"Yun 'er, in your answer, you mentioned that money and rations are trivial matters. Could it be that you have a way?”
If it was before, Ying Zheng had enough reason to think that Ying Ziyun was lying again.
However, the times were different now. Ying Ziyun's performance in the morning court had made Ying Zheng look at him in a new light.
Therefore, after throwing this question to Ying Ziyun, Ying Zheng actually had some expectations.
