Ah Zheng was a little moved when Lin Ju proposed to teach him how to make paper, but the only paper products he had ever seen were the packaging boxes of instant noodles and the paper shells of match boxes. Although he did feel that paper was lighter than bamboo slips, Still doubtful about its writing ability.

Ah Zheng couldn't help but said, "What's it like to use paper as a writing material?"

Lin Ju asked him first: "Zai, um... Ah Zheng, what materials are you using to write now?"

Ah Zheng showed her the roll of bamboo slips on the table: "Most books are written on bamboo slips or wood chips, and some specific documents are written on brocade or linen. For other more important uses, it will be written with copper and iron or tortoise shell bones."

The previous box of instant noodles had already been burned by Ah Zheng to avoid people's eyes and ears. He took out the matchbox that had been treasured for many years, rubbed the hard paper surface that was almost polished with his fingers, and dipped it in with a brush. Ink, a few words were written on the paper box, and the ink quickly smudged and became blurred.

Ah Zheng said: "Writing with this material is indeed lighter than bamboo slips and wood chips, but the handwriting is not very clear, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Lin Ju quickly retorted: "Boy, I'm not just talking about this kind of paper. This kind of hard paper is used for packaging, and the writing paper is smoother, and the ink is not easy to smudge."

Lin Ju was worrying about how to explain it to Ah Zheng, when there was a new message in the game mall that hadn't been prompted by the system for a long time.Lin Ju clicked in and took a look. The product refreshed this time was a cowhide notebook, and a 0.5 neutral black pen was also included as a gift.

Lin Ju hurriedly bought the only notebook that was on sale and gave it to Zai Zai, and showed him in front of Zai Zai: "Zai, the writing paper I'm talking about is this kind of paper, you can use it as a gift write with that pen."

Ah Zheng tentatively picked up the neutral black pen, which should be the pen Ah Ju pointed to.He picked up the pen and looked left and right, pulled the cap off with a light pull, the thin nib slid across his fingers, slightly tingling, and left a long, thin line on his finger black traces.

Ah Zheng picked up the pen somewhat unskillfully, opened the leather notebook, and began to write on it.

The writing process is unexpectedly smooth, and the ink seems to dry very fast. The written words can be kept small and clear, and I don’t know how many words can be written in such a thick book, so it seems true. It is the material that is convenient for writing.

He dipped the brush on the table into the ink again, and started writing on the leather notebook. Compared with the gel pen, the writing on the leather notebook with the brush was clear, but the ink seemed to be more difficult to dry, and what was written on the previous page The handwriting had soaked into the second page with ink.

He asked Ah Ju: "Ah Ju, is this the kind of paper you want to teach me to make? It is really light and convenient to write on. It's a pity that it is easy to bleed, and you have to put something under it when writing."

Lin Ju said: "This kind of paper is specially designed for writing with this kind of gel pen. If you want to write with a brush, we have special paper for writing with a brush. I will help you find some information later."

"Okay, thank you, Ah Ju." Ah Zheng picked up the gel pen on the table, "Can Ah Ju teach me how to make this kind of pen?"

Lin Ju froze for a moment, and replied: "Zai, to make this kind of pen, you need to use the plastic and the metal bead in the nib, and it is almost impossible to achieve this condition with the production level of the society you live in. Yes. However, if it is a dip pen or a bamboo pen, it may be possible to make it. I see that the writing brush you use is not particularly convenient. I will help you find some better writing brushes later. method of making."

Ah Zheng said hello, and suddenly thought: "Ah Ju, can such precious technologies as paper making and pen making really be handed over to me casually? Will it not have any impact on Ah Ju's life? The government over there doesn't care. Will you be arrested because of you, Aju, who revealed this method that needs to be kept secret?"

Lin Ju rubbed Ah Zheng's face happily: "Cub, don't worry, this kind of treatment is public information, it's not a secret, everyone can learn it."

Ah Zheng recalled that Lin Ju had told him before that there was no king in her country, only a leader who would change every few years. The place where she lived was prosperous and strong, with endless delicious food.Ah Zheng couldn't imagine how such a country works, and he became more and more curious about what kind of country Ah Ju lived in?It's just that he didn't ask this question.He had a vague feeling that Aju seemed to be hiding something important from him, but Aju would not harm him.Since Ah Ju didn't want him to know, he better not ask.

Lin Ju went to help Ah Zheng check the information and left the game temporarily.

Ah Zheng didn't hear Ah Ju's voice for a long time, so he re-studied the cowhide notebook and gel pen.

At this time, there was a message from the maid A Yan outside the study door: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu has something urgent to see you."

"Understood, let him wait first, I will come out after changing clothes." Ah Zheng took out a wooden box, hid the matchbox, notebook and gel pen, locked it with a copper lock, and put the key in the box. In the smelly bag that you carry with you. , then changed into casual clothes and walked to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Lu Buwei was already waiting there with several courtiers.

Ah Zheng asked directly after entering, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Lu Buwei's face was heavy, and he said: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom has escaped."

Ah Zheng frowned. Yan Dan was a hostage sent by Yan State to Qin State. This person said it was important, and it didn't matter if he said it wasn't important.Anyway, regardless of whether Yandan is in Qin State or not, Yan State will definitely fight.However, because Yan State is far away from Qin State, and the climate is extremely cold, Ah Zheng, Lu Buwei and others adopted the method of far friendship and close attack proposed by Fan Ju, and first attacked South Korea, Wei State, and Zhao State, which were relatively close to Qin State, and fought against Yan State. Guo, Chu, Qi and other countries have good relations.

This time the King of Yan was afraid that Qin would attack Yan, so he deliberately sent the prince of Yan to Qin to be a man. If Yan Dan really escaped, this would be an excuse to attack Yan.

It's just one thing to attack Yan, but another to escape Yandan. This shows that Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was able to allow a hostage from another country to escape, which is evident in its lax defenses.

Ah Zheng went directly to Lu Buwei, and said calmly, "When did you find out that Yan Dan had escaped, did you send someone to chase him?"

Lu Buwei clasped his hands and saluted and replied: "If you go back to the king, the official in charge of the Proton Mansion will report it, because these days Yandan has been closed at home, and has ordered the witch doctor in the city to come to the door many times, and that official has also visited Yandan. , found that he was indeed seriously ill, and specially ordered someone to prepare medicinal materials for him. But I never thought that the person lying on the hospital bed was not Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom at all, and the real Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom had gone somewhere for a long time. I have gone. For this reason, I implore the king to issue a decree, ordering the governors of all counties and counties to strictly check the foreign personnel coming and going in and out of various places, so as to find out the whereabouts of Yan Dan in time. This is a document drafted by the minister." After speaking, he presented a roll of silk to the In front of Ah Zheng.

The state of Qin is extremely sensitive to the flow of population. If a new face appears in a place without a pass approved by the state of Qin, the local people will report it.Lu Buwei suggested that Ah Zheng issue this order, but it was just to remind officials everywhere to be more cautious about unfamiliar faces.

Ah Zheng nodded and said, "I see, I will order someone to reply to you after I finish reading the document. Is there anything else besides Yan Dan's escape?"

Lu Buwei and the other courtiers glanced at each other and asked, "Your Majesty, Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom escaped from Xianyang, what should we do with the remaining Prince Zhao Kingdom in Xianyang City?"

The prince of Zhao State said he was a prince, but in fact he was not worthy of his name.His father had passed away long ago, and the current King Zhao is his younger brother.Even if he returns to Zhao, it is impossible to become the king of Zhao.Such a person is really useless to eat and a pity to discard.

Ah Zheng looked at Lu Buwei: "So what does Prime Minister Lu think we should take that Prince Zhao?"

Lu Buwei suggested: "Since it is useless for the prince of Zhao to stay in Qin, it is better to let him go and let Zhao send another proton." Lu Buwei thought that he was worthy of that person by saying this. The gold and silver that were given to him.

Ah Zheng asked Lu Buwei: "How does that Prince Zhao treat Qin now? How does he treat that King Zhao?"

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "He has lived in Qin for many years, so he is naturally pro-Qin and dislikes King Zhao."

Ah Zheng said: "In this case, let's wait until Wang Jian wins this battle, and then send that Prince of Zhao back to Zhao to disrupt the situation."

Li Si, who was following Lu Buwei, felt strange, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty thinks, General Wang Jian can win the Allied Forces of the Five Nations this time?"

Ah Zheng laughed and said: "There are not only Wang Jian at the border, but also Meng Ao, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian. Could it be that these people together can't defeat a mob?"

Li Si only felt that Ah Zheng was too optimistic. Although the other three countries in the five-nation coalition were indeed weak, the armies of Zhao and Chu were very strong.The number of enemy troops is several times that of mine, and he only thinks it is a great blessing to be able to defend the border well.

Li Si was Ah Zheng's former teacher, and Ah Zheng treated him more tolerantly than others. He only said: "After a while, Li Lang will wait and see the result."

Li Si answered yes.

Ah Zheng looked at Li Si in front of him, feeling that he hadn't seen him for a long time since the palace school closed, and asked, "Li Lang, where do you work now?"

Li Si carefully glanced at Lu Buwei in front of him from the corner of his eye, and replied cautiously: "Go back to the king, this minister is now the Chief History Officer of Marquis Wenxin's Mansion."

Azheng sighed with a smile: "With Li Lang's talent, the position of the head of the district, Shi, is indeed Qu Cai."

Li Si glanced at Lu Buwei, then carefully at Ah Zheng, and smiled awkwardly.In this case, no matter how he answers, he will be wrong, no matter what the answer is, he will definitely offend one of Lu Buwei and Ah Zheng.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and looked at Li Si who was following him: "Since the king has taken a fancy to Li Lang, how about letting Li Lang follow the king?"

Ah Zheng responded immediately: "Since Ah Weng said so, then I will take love away."

Lu Buwei smiled: "The ministers are just doing things for Daqin and sharing the worries of the king."

Li Si stood aside, sweat dripping down his back, fear and excitement in his heart.
