When everyone saw Ying Zheng, they came over to pay their respects, but some people could no longer stop what they were doing.
In the end, it was Ying Zheng who spoke up and asked them to continue with their work and only called Juzi over.
"I heard that the paper has been successfully made. Bring it over to me to see."
Ying Zheng couldn't wait to see this newly made paper.
After hearing this, Juzi quickly and carefully took out a piece from the cabinet next to him, fearing that it would be broken if he used too much force.
The pale yellow paper was brought over, along with the ink words they had written on the paper as an experiment before.
Ying Zheng held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time without saying anything.
Zhao Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't say anything. Was he dissatisfied? That couldn't be right, right?
After a while, he handed the paper back.
"Well done, put the paper away and go do your work."
Juzi didn't think there was anything wrong, so he happily took the paper back and went back to his work.
But Zhao Jun felt something was wrong.
Although Ying Zheng just expressed his affirmation, he doesn't seem excited at all. Could he be really dissatisfied with the current results?
She quickly added while standing beside Ying Zheng.
"This is just the first edition, and while it's already pretty good, Juzi and the others are still researching how to make the paper even whiter. I believe they'll have even better paper soon."
After hearing her words, Ying Zheng turned to look at her with a complicated look.
Zhao Jun was startled by his look.
"Zhao Qing, this is truly a great invention."
Ying Zheng's tone was deep, but his words made Zhao Jun relax.
After all this time, is it true that Ying Zheng's love has cooled down naturally due to his deep love?
"You should discuss this matter tomorrow when you go to court. Such great inventions require the knowledge of their creators."
Ying Zheng looked at her with a look of relief he had never felt before.
"My king, can you please listen to my thoughts?"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Jun calmed down and asked slowly.
"explain."
"First of all, let's not announce it to the court for now. Let's wait until better quality paper is produced, and then announce it together. I have a series of ideas for the future of paper."
Zhao Jun first said that after the invention of paper, printing must be the next step, otherwise printing books on a large scale would be a pipe dream.
This was something Zhao Jun had thought of early on, and she would discuss it with Ying Zheng when the paper was almost ready, but this was not the point she wanted to talk about now.
"Also, I don't want people to think that papermaking was invented by me alone, or that it wasn't just me who created it."
She looked at the Mohist people who were sweating profusely not far away.
"To be honest, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. Even during the production process, the giants had more ideas. Papermaking is a great invention, yes, but this invention cannot only be engraved with my name."
At this time, Zhao Jun felt that he was a little pretentious.
But papermaking is so important that she really can't just plagiarize it completely.
Although she has contributed to this, she also wants people to see her abilities and the power of women.
But this is not a reason for her to take all the credit.
"When I announce it, I hope to say that papermaking is the fruit of wisdom created by me and the Mohist school."
The King of Zhao looked calmly into Ying Zheng's eyes.
I don't know if he would agree with my idea, although that is the fact.
Ying Zheng stared at her for a long while.
"How foolish! You don't want the free credit that will last forever. Whatever you want."
He waved his hand at her in disgust without any further fuss.
I originally just wanted to do her a favor, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't appreciate it.
Zhao Jun was already used to his arrogance and knew that he had agreed.
"Thank you, my king. You are so considerate. I love you."
Zhao Jun was so excited that he made a heart shape with his hands towards him and uttered a few modern words.
At this moment she didn't realize what was happening.
When Ying Zheng heard the two words she just said, the veins on his forehead twitched slightly and he blurted out something.
“Bold!”
Zhao Jun hadn't realized it yet and was just startled by his sudden anger.
“W-What’s wrong…?”
She glanced at Ying Zheng cautiously and asked in a low voice.
Ying Zheng's face turned pale and he glared at her angrily, but he said nothing and left angrily, leaving Zhao Jun confused.
Ying Zheng came quietly so he only had Sun Cheng by his side.
This time, even Sun Cheng looked at her with an ambiguous look, and then quickly ran out with Ying Zheng.
No, who can tell her what happened?
Zhao Jun was still confused.
She glanced at the direction Ying Zheng went out, and after being puzzled, she turned around and decided to stay and supervise.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she found that the Mohist workers not far away had stopped working for some reason.
They all looked at her with strange eyes.
The workshop was not particularly large, and they were talking without stopping, so everyone around them could hear clearly the conversation between her and Ying Zheng.
When Zhao Jun said that he wanted to tell the world that they also had the credit for papermaking, the Mo family was extremely moved.
If the king had not been there, they would have knelt down on the spot.
But what Zhao Jun said next made them want to close their ears immediately.
In public, Lord Zhao actually expressed that kind of feeling to the king. It was simply...
"What's going on? Someone make a sound."
Zhao Jun was frightened by their gaze and walked closer to interrogate them.
In the end, it was the elder who came out to meet her murderous gaze.
"Sir Zhao, now that the king is away, I'll tell you some of my thoughts. Please don't blame me." The old man gave a warning first.
