Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing was Yunqi who met on the school ground.

It was time that the navy soldiers were practicing horse shooting.

Shen Bing believes that training this thing, especially the training of cavalry and shooting, can't just know how to spend time and practice. Many things not only require courage, but also need to have methods to practice hard.

Therefore, the navy training is not a random practice of everybody, but a unit of five.

There are three horses in every five, and the leader of the best riding skills rides one horse alone. The remaining four are divided into two groups with two in each group. One group will observe and sum up the experience during riding practice.

After practicing, point out each other what's wrong.

Training is often a "authoritarian fan". In a state of tension, you make a mistake without knowing it, but bystanders can see clearly.

When Shen Bing watched, Yunqi walked forward and bowed to Shen Bing under the leadership of his personal guards, and said respectfully:

"Yun Zhen has seen the captain!"

Shen Bing gave an "Oh" and bowed his hands in reply:

"It turned out to be Brother Yuntian."

"Shen Bing is going to thank Brother Yun Tian for his credit last time!"

"I wonder if the paper I sent today is enough to pay the bill?"

Yun Tian quickly answered:

"Enough, more than enough."

"It turns out that the thing sent by the captain is called'paper'..."

"Is this thing used for writing like Heru?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Exactly."

Then he knowingly asked:

"Is it convenient to write on paper?"

Yun Tian praised:

"Convenient, clear handwriting, instant writing, instant dry, inferior to He Jian."

Although it is not as exaggerated as "swift writing and instant drying", it is indeed much better than bamboo slips.

Shen Bing replied:

"Brother Yuntian is satisfied."

Yun Tian hesitated and asked carefully:

"I don't know the school lieutenant... can you tell where this thing came from?"

Before Shen Bing could answer, he added:

"It's not that Yunzhen is exploring the secrets. It's just that Yunzhen has traveled around the world for many years in business, but has never seen this thing, so..."

"If the captain is inconvenient, that's fine."

Shen Bing smiled and replied:

"Brother Yuntian don't need to be nervous, this thing is not a military secret."

"It's nothing more than a gadget I made to pay the artists' wages."

Yun Tian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly saying that it was so, no wonder there would be artists who would exchange paper for food.

Then Shen Bing sighed again and started selling miserably:

"Brother Yuntian knows something."

"Although this is just a gadget that looks ordinary and light as a feather, it is quite complicated and extremely time-consuming to make."

"As long as one process goes wrong, it may fall short."

"If it weren't for paying the artists' wages, Shen Bing would not toss this thing."

Yun Tian felt a headache when he heard this. He knew that the Qin army was not allowed to do business, so if this paper was made by Shen Bing, and Shen Bing would definitely not disclose the manufacturing method, then this is the way of making money. broken?

Of course Shen Bing knew what Yun Tian was thinking, so he stopped going around with Yun Tian, ​​and simply said:

"If Brother Yuntian wants to be a paper business, I can ask the artists to go to your rice shop to exchange food."

"Even if I wait, I can save intermediate steps."

"I used paper to exchange food with Brother Yuntian, and Brother Yuntian handed the food to the artist..."

Yun Tian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, isn't this just a kind of monopoly?Since then, no one else will compete with him in the paper industry.

Thinking how Yun Tian would hesitate, he nodded and accepted:

"This method is very good, Yun Zhi thanked the school lieutenant."

Shen Bing added:

"But Brother Yuntian has to ensure that the artists can receive enough food, otherwise..."

Yun Tian quickly answered:

"sure."

"The lieutenant can rest assured that Yun Zhen always regards the people as the foundation, and he is not deceived.

Just kidding, if paper is the only thing in the world, he is the only one who can sell it at a high price or even more expensive than silk. How can he lose money because of that petty profit?

This is also the reason why Shen Bing wants to meet Yun Qian at the school grounds... If Yun Qian sees Shen Bing's Xiaowei mansion full of papers, this business will be difficult to discuss.

Shen Bing was relieved after Yun Tian left.

Now it seems that all the problems have been solved, and there is no illegal business and the funding problem has been solved. Shen Bing can't wait to see the majestic appearance of the navy wearing cane armor.

What's more important is... you don't need to remove bamboo slips anymore when you go to the toilet.

In this era, the toilet is scraped with a bamboo piece called "toilet chip". The most uncomfortable thing is that it is still public.

Shen Bing's solution was to bring a roll of bamboo slips every time he went. Others only said that Shen Bing was diligent in studying, but they didn't want the bamboo slips to be missing a few pieces every time they came back.

But thinking about it, it feels a bit wasteful. This piece of paper is worth ten dollars...

who cares?

Big deal, just make a few more batches of paper for later use.

Shen Bing walked towards Xiaowei's mansion while humming a small song with his back on his back, only to see Meng Liang already waiting at the door.

These days, Meng Liang stayed in the engineering camp and didn't turn around, so he didn't see him for a while.

It was a little surprised to see him Shen Bing at this time. Even if he wants to bear the credit, he doesn't have to be in a hurry, right?

When Meng Liang saw Shen Bing coming in, he greeted him and said:

"Lieutenant, it is said that you have made something new again?"

"Can you let the subordinates have an eye-opener?"

Shen Bing didn't think much, and after entering the door, he ordered a few photos for him.

Meng Liang thanked him and left in a hurry.

Of course Shen Bing could not have imagined that after Meng Liang took the paper, it was placed on Ying Zheng's table in just one day.

Ying Zheng and Li Si stared at the paper on the table in a daze. Ying Zheng even tore a short piece of the paper to know the mystery.

But this idea of ​​course did not succeed, there was nothing in it.

Ying Zheng said:

"This thing is strange."

"Shen Bing is said to call it paper."

"Has the prime minister ever heard of it?"

Li Si shook his head and replied:

"Back to the king, I have never heard of it."

"If this thing can be made in large quantities, then this bamboo slip..."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Of course he knew the many inconveniences of bamboo slips. This paper almost perfectly avoided all the shortcomings.

If it can be mass-produced and popularized nationwide, it will be of great benefit to skills, knowledge, and even ordering.

Then Li Si said:

"I just don't know how long it takes to make this thing."

"If it is as expensive as silk, it is useless."

Ying Zheng shook his head and replied with certainty:

"It will not be as expensive as silk."

"Then Shen Bing has to charge someone for even a few barrels."

"And it is said that the paper in his school lieutenant's mansion is piled up like a mountain."

"If the cost of this thing is high, where would Shen Bing get the money to make it?"

"If few people expect it to be true, the materials used to make this thing must be extremely cheap and even available everywhere."

Ying Zheng's analysis is reasonable.

If Shen Bing heard these words, I would be ashamed. Although Ying Zheng was thousands of miles away, he knew everything about him.
