Chapter 171 Meng'er, I can't give birth to a child!
Ye Chen had previously given Niu San the task of making paper, but he originally thought that it would take Niu San at least a month to successfully make the paper.
It’s not because the papermaking process is complicated, but because the papermaking materials need to be soaked for a long time.
But it has only been a few days and there has been great progress in papermaking?
Ye Chen couldn't believe it.
"Qiu'er, call Niu San over here. I want to ask him in person."
Ye Chen immediately said to Shen Qiu.
"Yes!"
Shen Qiu took the order and left.
Ye Chen turned to Qin Mang and said, "Mang'er, follow me. Let's go and wait for Niu San together."
"it is good."
Qin Rou nodded obediently.
She was very sensible and didn't want to ask about Ye Chen's affairs for fear of making him unhappy, but if Ye Chen took the initiative to take her to listen, she would not refuse.
At this moment, no matter what Ye Chen said, she would agree with it from the bottom of her heart.
She would even feel extremely satisfied as long as she could stay by Ye Chen's side.
She didn't ask for too much.
Not long after Ye Chen brought her to the entrance of the Imperial Garden, Niu San arrived.
"I have met Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
As soon as Niu San saw Ye Chen, he knelt down on the spot and kowtowed.
"Be flat."
Ye Chen waved his hand and Niu Sanfang stood up.
"Niu San, how's the papermaking going?"
"Your Majesty, paper has been invented."
Niu San took out a bamboo tube from his arms, opened it, and took out a piece of paper from it.
"Quick, Qiu'er, bring the paper to me."
Ye Chen immediately said to Shen Qiu.
"Yes."
Shen Qiu stepped forward to take the paper, then turned around and handed it to Ye Chen.
After taking the paper, Ye Chen unfolded it, touched its smooth surface, and his eyes gradually narrowed.
Compared with the paper of later generations, the paper in his hand was obviously a little rough, but the difference was not much.
"Qiu'er, go get someone to bring some pen and ink!"
Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu obediently brought the ink and brush. Ye Chen took the brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly drew a stroke on the paper.
Then, he looked at the clear notes on the paper, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
“This paper is well made.”
Ye Chen turned to look at Niu San and said sincerely: "I will reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Niu San immediately clasped his fists and said.
"By the way, Niu San, how did you make this paper so quickly?"
Ye Chen was a little confused and asked Niu San.
"Your Majesty, when I soaked the materials, I specifically chose bamboo and ivy that had already been soaked for a long time from the lake, so I was able to greatly reduce the time. However, the amount of bamboo and ivy that I scooped up from the lake was small, and I could only make about twenty sheets of paper."
Niu San answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded and said to Niu San with a smile: "Niu San, you have done a great job. I will triple your salary this month! But remember, no matter what difficulties you have, you can tell me. But if the papermaking matter is leaked, I will not forgive you!"
Ye Chen's tone gradually became stern, and the imperial aura on his body suddenly burst out, and his dragon robe was magnificent, captivating.
Papermaking is too important, and Ye Chen must hold it tightly in his hands.
This technology will never be allowed to leak out.
"Your Majesty, I understand!"
Niu Sanze nodded immediately.
"Go, bring all those papers to me. I can use them."
With the paper, Ye Chen can go to Yingchuan Academy and ask the current acting dean Xu Youde to fulfill his promise.
So that the entire Yingchuan Academy can be fully utilized by him, and in this way, in a year at most, the academy will provide him with a large number of talents.
As time goes by, this number of talents will continue to increase.
Ye Chen then asked Niu San to get the paper immediately.
"The common people obey the decree!"
Niu San didn't dare to delay and hurried to get the paper.
"Qiu'er, send someone to strictly protect Niu San and his family, and keep them under surveillance."
Knowing the face but not the heart.
It is impossible for Ye Chen to completely rely on Niu San's self-awareness.
"Yes!"
Shen Qiu took the order and left. Only then did Qin Rou ask in shock, "Your Majesty, was it you who came up with the idea of making this kind of paper?"
Qin Man reached out and slowly picked up a corner of the paper, feeling extremely shocked.
If someone had told her before that there was something as thin as a silkworm's wing in the world that could be used as a writing tool, she would have thought it was nonsense and impossible.
But now.
The paper was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it.
And the admiration in her eyes when she looked at Ye Chen became even more obvious.
"Oh, I used to think that writing on bamboo slips was too troublesome, so I did some research."
Ye Chen smiled slightly. Paper had never appeared in this world before.
He then simply admitted that he had made the paper himself.
"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing. Is there anything in this world that you can't do?"
Upon hearing Ye Chen admit it, Qin Man sighed sincerely.
"Haha, who said there is no such thing, Meng'er? I can't do what you can do."
"what?"
Qin Man was shocked and could hardly believe her ears.
"Your Majesty, why do you say that? I believe I am far from your level."
"Haha, Meng'er, everyone has their own strengths. Maybe you're not as good as me in papermaking, but you're better than me in other things."
Ye Chen smiled and said.
"What on earth are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
Qin Rou was obviously a little confused.
"Mian'er, for example, giving birth to a child, I can't do such a thing."
Ye Chen rubbed his stomach with a serious face and said.
Hearing this, Qin Man was stunned, and then her pretty face turned red.
"Your Majesty, you, you."
Qin Man was extremely shy, but she had no idea how to answer Ye Chen.
When Ye Chen saw him like this, he felt a sense of guilt.
This kind of teasing of a young girl really feels a bit like hooliganism.
"Well, Man'er, after you get the paper, you will accompany me to Yingchuan Academy. So many days have passed, and I don't know if Xu Youde has taken good care of Yingchuan Academy."
Ye Chen deliberately changed the subject.
Hearing this, Qin Man said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Yes."
Soon, Niu San came over with nineteen pieces of paper.
Each piece of paper was one meter long and wide. Ye Chen ordered them to be rolled up and put into a bamboo tube, then let Liu and Niu San go down.
"Mian'er, wait for me in the Imperial Garden. I'll come right after I change my clothes."
When Ye Chen got into the sedan chair, he specifically said to Qin Man.
"Okay, I'll wait here for Your Majesty!"
Qin Man nodded vigorously.
Ye Chen quickly returned to the Yangxin Palace, and after changing into casual clothes, he got on a carriage after leaving the palace and quickly headed to the Imperial Garden.
After picking up Qin Man, Ye Chen asked the coachman to whip the horse faster, and the carriage quickly left the palace gate and headed towards Yingchuan Academy.
