Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 135
Ying Zheng heard Zhao Yi's complaints. Although Ying Zheng agreed with Zhao Yi's point of view, he still felt it was inappropriate.

"Yi'er, it's not that I don't want to agree. It's just that this girl is too young. Letting her manage one mansion will cause people to criticize her. If you let her manage two mansions at the same time, isn't that just giving people a handle?"

Ying Zheng's words are indeed correct. Let a ten-year-old girl take charge of two key units in Daqin. That is not a kindergarten. Even if it is a kindergarten, I have never heard of a ten-year-old girl being the principal!

But Zhao Yi's idea is different!

[Oh, old things really can't communicate, why are they always so pedantic, no matter what others say! 】

[It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. As long as it is a good cat, why do you care about its size? 】

[It seems to be a pity, this girl Wang Wanting is really a genius. During this period of time, after being trained by her father and me, she has mastered the current papermaking and printing technology. 】

[It is no exaggeration to say that she now has insights into papermaking and printing that transcend this era. 】

[Children’s creativity is the most powerful. Papermaking and printing are things that did not exist in this era. Now they are created from scratch. The starting point is creativity, but the old things insist on forcing them to come and kill them. creativity! 】

[Even if I continue to control these two mansions, I am afraid that the room for improvement will only be able to maintain the current standards. But if Wang Wanting is allowed to control these two mansions, if nothing happens, Daqin should be able to build a few more new paper mills in half a year. and the printing house! 】

[By then, Da Qin will completely break through the aristocratic families’ monopoly on culture, talent, and various fields. 】

【Forget it, why do you think so much? If the old things don’t cooperate, that’s the only way to go. Anyway, I’m not the one who suffers now. I’ll just be my Prince Xianyu! 】

Zhao Yi finished complaining in his heart, and immediately acted like he had suddenly realized, and bowed to Yingzheng, "Yes, yes, yes, my father is right, it's my minister Meng Lang."

"My son has figured it out now, Wanting is still young, she can't help her grow up, she still needs to practice, so stay with me and continue to be my maid."

When Wang Wanting heard what Zhao Yi said, she felt a little disappointed, but not that disappointed. After all, as long as she could stay by Zhao Yi's side, she would be very satisfied.

However, Ying Zheng felt uncomfortable like this, and looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief.

What's the situation, is this girl so strong?They have mastered the latest papermaking and printing techniques, and they can form a family of their own. Let her be the governor of the two prefectures, and can break the aristocratic family's monopoly on books and talents within half a year?

Ying Zheng became excited. He didn't expect that in Zhao Yi's heart, this pretty little girl in front of him had such great energy!How could such a talented person be allowed to stay with Zhao Yi as a maid?

So Ying Zheng quickly changed his words: "No, no, no, Prince, you didn't understand what I meant. Letting this girl be the head of both houses requires long-term thinking. How can I stay with you as a maid? Isn't that a waste of natural resources!"

"Ah?" Zhao Yi was dumbfounded, his head buzzing.

[Damn, the old man is playing with me here, why does he have an idea all of a sudden, what exactly does he want to do? 】

[Damn it, let him urinate and defecate, anyway, it's not me who has a headache, it's so funny. 】

Wang Wanting was dazed by this sudden happiness, and after being dazed, she was ecstatic.

Although she didn't understand why Yingzheng changed all of a sudden, Wang Wanting knew that His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor had agreed to let her be the governor of the papermaking and printing houses.

Zhao Yi tentatively asked: "Father, my son still thinks that it is inappropriate to do this. The child Wanting is too young. When he really came to the court, Feng Jie and his gang came to gamble again. strife!"

Yingzheng has a black line, Feng Jie hasn't come to court for several days now, Yushitai is going to become a joke in Xianyang City, Zhao Yi made it clear which pot is not open and which pot is to be lifted.

After thinking about this, Ying Zheng was too lazy to continue arguing with Zhao Yi, and said sternly to Wang Wanting: "I will directly declare the decree orally now, and Wang Wanting will accept the decree!"

"Ah?" Wang Wanting didn't expect Ying Zheng to speak to her directly, and she was a little at a loss for a while. When Zhao Yi saw it, she simply pulled her to kneel down to Ying Zheng.

"From now on, Wang Wanting is the Chancellor of the Papermaking and Printing Houses. I express my gratitude!"

After Zhao Yi heard it, he immediately dragged Wang Wanting to kowtow to thank him. So far, Wang Wanting only needs to make a formal imperial decree, and then put on the official robe of a third-rank official to become the official of the Daqin Printing House and Paper Making House.

A ten-year-old third-rank mansion official is the only one in the whole of Daqin. I believe it will definitely cause an uproar when he reaches the court, but both Yingzheng and Zhao Yi are right about it.

Yingzheng now hopes that Wang Wanting will take office as soon as possible, spread out the stalls of the papermaking mansion and printing workshop, and break the monopoly of the aristocratic family as soon as possible.

As for the objections of the officials in the court, it was nothing to Ying Zheng.

On Zhao Yi's side, it's just an indifferent attitude. Whether Wang Wanting is the lord of the two mansions has no effect on him, because no matter whether Wang Wanting is the head of the mansion, Zhao Yi is letting her take care of the affairs of the two mansions. .

Of course, Wang Wanting could have a legitimate official position, and Zhao Yi did not object to it. He couldn't just make people do things without giving them any sweetness, especially if he was a third-rank official!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng.

[Fuck, what happened to the old thing today, full of courage, ten-year-old girl, use it as you say! 】

[Could it be that this old thing is attracted to Wang Wanting? Speaking of which, this girl is quite a beauty! 】

[The old man is the king of the sea and a scumbag, the kind who eats everything from young to old, he can't really treat such a young girl...]

After hearing Zhao Yi's aspirations, Ying Zheng was suddenly full of lawsuits, and simply used an excuse to go back and draft an order, and leave the Prince's Mansion, otherwise he really couldn't guarantee that he would do something to Zhao Yi.

Back in the palace, Ying Zheng quickly summoned Li Si and Feng Quji and asked them to draw up an edict immediately. As for the content of the imperial edict, it was natural that Wang Wanting should be appointed as the official of the papermaking and printing houses.

"Wang Wanting, this is a woman's name. Your Majesty wants a woman to be the official of the house? I don't know where this person comes from?"

Both Li Si and Feng Quji looked surprised. It is true that the positions of governors in the papermaking and printing houses have been vacant for a long time.

Everyone has been guessing who will be the governor of the two prefectures, and Yingzheng unexpectedly offered a person who also served as the governor of the two prefectures, which made Li Si and Feng Quji full of curiosity.

Ying Zheng smiled lightly, "That's right, it's a woman, and she's just turned ten years old!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the faces of Li Si and Feng Quji changed drastically when they descended the steps...
