Straight man of steel

Chapter 239 Dr. Engineering

Liu Che was naturally moody. Earlier, Xiao Huangmen, who accidentally didn't hold the cup in front of him, was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.

There are even some actors in the palace who are specially used for Liu Che to beat and vent his anger.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang regards it as a treasure, and the paper of what kind of thing Liu Che has fallen on the ground really surprised everyone present.

"Quickly pick it up and present it to His Majesty."

Princess Pingyang shouted at Wang Sui before Liu Che got angry.

"Here."

Wang Sui hurriedly said yes, picked up the wooden box and wiped it on his body, then went to Liu Che to open it, took out the paper inside and spread it out before putting it in front of Liu Che.

In the end, Liu Che had no choice but to let out a cold snort to vent his dissatisfaction, but soon his attention was attracted by the paper on the desk.

"Who wrote this?"

The most superficial one is naturally the song Dafeng Song written by Princess Pingyang before.

"Your Majesty, it was written by me. I just saw this paper and I felt a little happy. Thinking of Emperor Gaozu's heroic past, I wrote this wind song on this paper. I think it is only the poems written by Emperor Gaozu that have the weight to be remembered in this chapter. on a piece of paper."

Liu Che nodded and said nothing.

On the other hand, there were some sweat drops on the forehead of Zhang Yuan below. Fortunately, he did not belittle himself and came to a few poems first.

No matter who is the producer, good things must be used first by the royal family after all.

Liu Che looked at it, thought about it, and finally didn't write on the paper.

Just rolled it up and put it aside.

When Zhang Yuan saw this scene, he probably guessed something in his heart. It is probably because Liu Che felt that if the written words were too ugly, so many people would laugh at him generously when they saw it.

"Lieutenant Cheng has meritorious service in making paper, so feel free to ask for any rewards you want."

This is not the first time that Liu Che asked Zhang Yuan what he wanted, but every time he ended up unhappy, it could even be called murderous.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I only ask Your Majesty to let me resign from my official position.

To be honest with His Majesty, I have an idea again, and I can copy the content on this paper.

If the ancient books were copied manually, it might take one person a day for one book, and one person could only copy thousands of ancient books throughout his life.

And my big man has a population of tens of millions, and thousands of classics or tens of thousands of classics are like a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

All I think about is that I only hope that many people in the Han Dynasty can read a few words and read a book or two under His Majesty's rule during my lifetime.

If this method is successful, I believe that a hundred books, or even more, can be published in one day with the effort of one person.

The minister resigned from the official position just to be able to devote all his energy to this, and I ask His Majesty to agree. "

Liu Che stood up straight after listening, and shouted at Zhang Yuan.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and said.

"Your Majesty has the power to take life and death over your ministers, and you will certainly not make fun of your own life."

Wei Qing also bowed to Liu Che at this time and said.

"Your Majesty, I would like to vouch for Lieutenant Cheng.

Lieutenant Cheng's study at home is more useful to the big man than any position. "

The successive surprises made Liu Che a little confused. Papermaking is okay, after all, it has been spread among the people before, but the paper produced is not that much better than bamboo film.

The gadgets that Zhang Yuan tinkered with before were actually available in the Han Dynasty. The iron pots and cauldrons were similar, and the steel filling method was just a new method. As for the bed crossbow, the Han Dynasty also had it, but it was not as powerful.Compared with Zhiyuanli, Quyuanli, Liu Che can also tell the difference at a glance.

But what Zhang Yuan is talking about now is something that everyone has never heard of or seen before, and Liu Che has to be surprised.

In fact, Zhang Yuan's use of a machine gun now has the same impact on Liu Che as the use of engraving and printing, both of which are unknown and unpredictable.

"Since Lieutenant Cheng has an idea, I didn't understand some parts just now, how about Zhongwei Cheng explain it again?"

Liu Che still maintained a little resistance to the unknown, so he wanted Zhang Yuan to tell it again.

After Zhang Yuan agreed, he started searching his body.

I almost had to take my clothes off by the end.

None of the people present knew what Zhang Yuan was doing.

Seeing several people staring at him, Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly.

He just wanted to find his own imprint. In this era, the only thing that could be explained clearly to Liu Che was the seal, otherwise no amount of theory could explain it.

"Servant, do you have your mark on you?"

Zhang Yuan asked Wei Qing in a low voice.

Suspiciously, Wei Qing took a seal from his waist, glanced at Liu Che, and handed it to Zhang Yuan.

The imperial servant's official seal was made of silver, with some other metals added, and it looked much higher-end than Zhang Yuan's copper seal.

Zhang Yuan took Wei Qing's seal and walked a few steps forward.

"Your Majesty, I want to take a piece of paper."

Liu Che nodded, and then Wang Sui took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan immediately threw the paper on the ground, took a breath on Wei Qing's official seal, and then covered it.

"Your Majesty, the minister's idea came from the seal.

If you think about it, if you can carve every word into a chapter with wood, arrange it in the order on the classics, fill it with graphite, and print it like this, the content of the book will be on the paper.

I just have this idea now, but I haven't figured out how to engrave it, what kind of wood to use to engrave the seal, and what kind of ink to use.

But I can be sure that within one year, I will let His Majesty see the results. "

After Liu Che thought for a while, he figured out the key point.

A smile began to show on his face, which showed that he also thought this matter was very feasible.

"Good, good, good.

Since Lieutenant Cheng is sure, then I will obey you this time, but you must not let me down.

However, it is not a good thing to resign from an official position. Sometimes an official position is also a kind of protection.

The position of Lieutenant Cheng is too important, so I will designate you as a doctor of engineering and a doctor. "

Liu Che had already abolished many doctorate positions long ago, and only established a doctorate in the Five Classics, but now he made an opening for Zhang Yuan and created a doctorate in engineering.

The most important thing is that Dr. Gong has never had one before and has no substantive job requirements. Now Zhang Yuan can stay at home all the time.

Then he was worried that it would be a demotion in the eyes of outsiders, and he mentioned Zhang Yuan's appointment as Doctor Qing among the attendants, which had never happened before.

Feeling kindness from Liu Che for the first time, Zhang Yuan immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."
