Whether it was papermaking or the curved plow, it was just a pretext. Liu Hong's real intention was to use it to elevate the status of craftsmen and attract countless professionals to devote themselves to this field. Only in this way could the technological progress of the Han Dynasty be promoted.
The curved plow and paper are only temporary advantages; only the continuous participation and research of countless talented individuals can maintain a leading edge.
"I will certainly do my best to study this upon my return!"
Mo Shang also understood the emperor's intention: the improvement and advancement of papermaking would undoubtedly play a historic role.
Their names will be mentioned as long as people use paper in the future. How can one resist the temptation of being remembered for eternity?
Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, "Good, I trust you. But don't slack off on other research either. After all, only by achieving comprehensive success can you prove your worth!"
"promise!"
Watching Mo Shang leave Deyang Palace with great excitement, Liu Hong strolled to the entrance of the main hall, looked up at the endless sky, and knew that everything for him had just begun.
"May I have your name?"
Liu Hong turned to look at the eunuch standing to the side. He was a new eunuch assigned by Lü Qiang and it was his first day on duty.
"Your Majesty, this servant is Jian Shuo!"
Upon hearing the emperor ask his name, Jian Shuo excitedly knelt down. Just as he had guessed, his performance today not only did not displease the emperor, but also attracted his attention.
"Jian Shuo?"
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Hong couldn't help but chuckle. Fate's arrangements are truly powerful. Is it trying to make him gather all ten Attendants?
Historically, Jian Shuo was extremely loyal to Emperor Ling of Han; otherwise, he would not have become the Commandant of the Upper Army, a position that even surpassed that of General He Jin.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo and said gently, "Well, you did well today. From now on, you will stay by my side!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! This servant will serve Your Majesty to the death!"
Upon hearing that the emperor had kept him by his side, Jian Shuo was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude and swore allegiance.
From an unknown eunuch to someone who can now stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Jian Shuo has risen to prominence overnight. The Emperor now holds a place in his heart that is probably even more important than his parents.
"Alright! Just follow me and do your job well. It's not that dangerous, and you won't die!"
"Yes! This servant understands!"
After saying this, Liu Hong returned to Deyang Palace to begin handling government affairs. Jian Shuo followed closely behind Liu Hong, standing to the side in the positions of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
Liu Hong frowned as he looked at the reports from Lu Zhi and Zhang Huan not long ago. Both reports mentioned the recent movements of the Northern Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu, suggesting that there were signs of instability on the grasslands.
Just as Liu Hong was worrying, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who had rushed back from the medical school, discovered that there was suddenly another person standing where they had been standing, and their expressions changed slightly.
