Feeling it was all a farce, Kong Jia had no intention of staying and took his leave.

Ying Zheng ignored him, picked up the little guy, and then took out the paper with a curious look on his face.

He had no doubt about the little guy's strength, after all, the little guy was the famous Zitan Star, the one who would save the Great Qin.

Moreover, it had helped the Qin Dynasty a great deal before, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it had saved the Qin Dynasty from danger on several occasions.

The little guy looked at the paper, his brows furrowing slightly. "Although it's still a bit rough, it will become smooth with a little more processing."

Ying Zheng nodded, "Just give the orders."

The materials needed for such a small item are easily obtained by the Qin Dynasty.

The little guy touched the paper and asked, "Do you have a pen?"

Ying Zheng asked in confusion, "A pen?"

He didn't connect the two things.

But when the little guy gave the order, he still had someone bring over a calligraphy brush.

The little guy dipped the brush in ink and then held it, gliding it across the paper.

As the brush moved, something awkward emerged on it.

Ying Zheng stared at the distorted symbols, his eyes brightening slightly. "I think I know what this is for."

Upon hearing this, the little guy's expression brightened slightly, "Dad is indeed clever!"

He truly deserves to be called the strongest emperor who unified six kingdoms; he understands things instantly.

Ying Zheng examined the crooked object and said, "This is for drawing talismans, isn't it?"

The little guy was taken aback. "Drawing a talisman? Can't Dad tell that what I'm writing is a character?"

Ying Zheng was startled, "A handwriting?!"

He never expected that the crooked thing that looked like a talisman would actually be a character to the little guy.

Ying Zheng looked rather embarrassed. "It seems that I am indeed lacking in knowledge and learning."

Ying Zheng didn't ask the little guy what he had written, but instead reached out and touched the words, his eyes changing slightly.

Even though it had only been written for a very short time, the words were already completely dry, and wiping them with my hand did not affect them at all.

Moreover, judging from its clarity, it is in no way inferior to that on bamboo slips.

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. "How long can this be preserved?"

The little guy replied, "If it's not intentionally damaged, it will last for more than ten years without any problems."

A strange light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and then he asked, "If the characters are arranged smaller, this sheet would have to have eight hundred characters, right?"

The little guy nodded, "More or less."

Ying Zheng picked up the paper and examined it carefully. "This content would have taken more than a bundle of bamboo slips to write, and now it's all on such a small thing?"

The little guy murmured, "In the future, if we need a carriage to carry the contents of bamboo slips, we can just write them down on this paper and hold them directly in our hands."

Hearing this, her eyes lit up with even more delight. "Good stuff, really good stuff!"

With this thing, almost all of my current knowledge can be contained in just one room, and I can look up anything I want.

Moreover, being able to carry the books with you at any time for review is undoubtedly a huge improvement for learning.

In his joy, Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something else, "This paper can be made using only the simple materials you wrote about?"

The little guy nodded, "It is indeed ordinary paper."

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. "The cost is also extremely low. One tael of silver can produce at least five hundred sheets, which is a price that ordinary families can afford."

"If this can be popularized, the number of people in Qin who can read will increase greatly. With more people, there will naturally be more talented people, and Qin's national strength will surely increase significantly!"

As he pondered the benefits this paper brought, Ying Zheng could not hide his excitement.

The little guy looked at Ying Zheng and said, "This is the method that my mother and I discussed to improve education."

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Good! I like this very much!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's satisfied expression, the little guy's eyes flickered slightly.

[It seems Dad is quite satisfied. Should we tell him about the advanced uses of this paper?]

[It works well, but it's a bit expensive. I don't know if Dad will like it?]

Ying Zheng was taken aback.

Advanced usage?

He looked at the little guy and saw that he was a bit confused, so he said, "By the way, Yu'er, is there any other use for this paper besides writing?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng had taken the initiative to ask, the little guy did not intend to hide anything and truthfully said, "If this paper is made of special materials, it can contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become a divine object with divine power."

Ying Zheng was quite shocked, "A divine object?"

The little guy explained, "Now, both Taoism and Buddhism have their own methods for drawing talismans, but the power of those talismans is limited and much weaker than paper with special materials."

"In other words, the same talisman will have its power increased by nearly 80% if it is drawn on special paper."

Ying Zheng was utterly shocked, "Eighty percent?!"

If that's the intended use, then this paper is absolutely priceless to both Taoists and Buddhists.

After all, the fact that they could increase the power of the talisman so much is something they couldn't accomplish no matter how much money they had.

Moreover, power can never be measured by money; otherwise, Kong Jia would not have rejected Ying Zheng's proposal.

As he pondered, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "This paper is useful for talismans, but is it useful for the Confucian mantras?"

Confucianism establishes its power through writing and the laws of heaven and earth, and those writings are also used by them.

By recording words on special items and then driving them with power, one can activate formations or unleash divine skills. Although the effect is similar to that of talismans, in fact, it involves two completely different forces.

The little guy replied, "It's useful. Confucian characters are actually a kind of talisman. Because they are the same as heaven and earth, they can exert power. So, special paper can be used to enhance their power."

Ying Zheng's expression shifted slightly. "Good! Very good!"

When you see this specially made paper, I hope you, a Confucian, will still maintain your strong principles!

Now that he knew about this magical artifact, Ying Zheng did not hesitate and immediately had the little guy write down what he needed.

But Ying Zheng was still taken aback when he saw those lists.

Rooster's eggs?

The Tiger's Tears?

The fur of a mouse that grew up drinking cat milk?
