Chapter 17: Bookstores in the First Month of the Year, Paper Expenses in Xianyang



"Of course, it's made up of one character from each of our names."

But the truth is, Chu Yuening is bad at naming.

Thinking that it was a shop run by two people, they simply took one character from each of them to form the store name, which is simple and nice.

Ying Zheng was speechless for a moment.

This stupid fox, doesn’t he know that the emperor’s name cannot be called casually?

But for some reason, a strange feeling quietly emerged in his heart.

The combination of their names is quite pleasing to the eye.

The first month of the year also has good meaning.

He was born in the first month of the lunar calendar, so his name was "Zheng", and her name contains "Yue". Could this be the legendary fate?

Chu Yuening didn't know that someone had almost chosen the name of her future child. She was still thinking about serious matters.

"Your Majesty, talents from all over the country will rush to Xianyang."

Besides making money, there is a deeper reason why she promotes paper so vigorously.

That is to attract talents to Xianyang and work for the First Emperor.

She knew that this light and easy-to-write paper would revolutionize all areas of cultural heritage.

Countless scholars will flock to this.

"Is your Majesty unhappy?"

"Students from different schools of thought may cause disputes and unrest."

Ying Zheng frowned and thought, then spoke concisely.

The Qin Dynasty ruled the country by law and supported the Legalists, which naturally excluded other schools of thought.

"Why is that so difficult?"

"If Your Majesty rebuilds the Jixia Academy, it will be able to accommodate all the schools of thought."

"With each family fulfilling its duties and a wealth of talented people, how can our Great Qin not prosper?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng's brows relaxed a little.

This is indeed a good method.

The newly unified Qin Dynasty did need more talents from different fields to build it.

only......

"Most of the officials in the court belonged to the Legalist school."

Prime Minister Li Si was one of the best among them, and his faction was naturally composed entirely of disciples of the Legalists.

Chu Yuening understood the deep meaning of the emperor's words.

The Qin Dynasty adopted the Legalist school of thought for a long time. Legalism has been rooted in this land for a long time and has a complex network. How could it allow other schools of thought to invade its territory?

But she believes that doctrine is just a tool for governing the country.

"Your Majesty, I often use my right hand for eating and writing, but I rarely use my left hand."

"Should I give it up?"

"If there's something that requires both hands to work together, both hands are equally important."

"So, which hand we use at a time depends on which one we need to use."

Chu Yuening's remarks were unique and reasonable, which gave Ying Zheng a refreshing feeling.

His brows relaxed and his eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance.

Maybe he really was worrying too much.

In the past, in order to sweep across the six kingdoms and unify the world, he could only use law to suppress all restless factors.

Now that the whole world has belonged to Qin, no matter what kind of talents or what kind of doctrines, as long as they can make Qin prosperous, they will be used by him.

He has already ruled the world and holds great power.

Who in the world dares not to bow down and submit?

On the other side, outside Zhengyue Bookstore.

I spent a lot of money to buy a stack of snowflakes with great difficulty, and now I am as happy as a 200-pound child.

He was the son of a merchant in the inner city of Xianyang.

Although the name given by his father sounded very vulgar, he did not like money but the smell of ink.

However, although the family had enough food and clothing, it was still a bit difficult for them to afford to buy precious books.

Fortunately, he met a mysterious friend by chance who had a large collection of books and allowed him to borrow them.

I came to the market today because I had nothing to do.

I didn't expect to encounter such a magical thing.

It was just a little expensive at one cent per ticket, so he spent all his pocket money and only bought fifty tickets.

But with this snow paper, I wonder if Mo Ju can let him copy more of his favorite books...

Having a lot of money is considered lucky.

In Xianyang City, there were more people who failed to grab the snow paper.

In order to get a glimpse of this miraculous snow paper as soon as possible, some nobles and wealthy businessmen competed to bid, and the value of a piece of snow paper was even hyped up to ten cents!

For a time, paper was expensive in Xianyang.
