Film and television urban drama starts from Nothing But Thirty

However, Chen Fang was thinking that if Qin Shi Huang could appoint him to an official position and allow him to recruit some guards, a few thousand people would be enough, and Ming Yi could use them as guards for the caravan, he should agree to this, right?

While she was thinking, Princess Yu Shu in the middle had already started dancing.

Judging from the dance alone, this is probably the most beautiful one Chen Fang has ever seen. The ancient dance is different from the modern one. It is more curvy and smooth, and paired with ancient costumes, it has a kind of classical beauty. Unlike many modern dances that are borderline, it looks good at first glance, but becomes boring after watching for a long time.

The most amazing thing is that while dancing, she can use her feet and sleeves to draw a high-level ink painting on a huge piece of silk.

The most amazing thing was the last drop of blood, which formed a red sun on the silk. When Yu Shu finished dancing, the hall was completely silent, and everyone stared at the landscape painting in a trance.

Li Si felt his face getting hot and embarrassed.

Even the First Emperor was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He shouted "good" three times in a row. He stood up and walked down from the throne. He personally went forward to help Yu Shu up and praised: "Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?"

Li Si was not stupid either: "It was your humble servant Meng Wang who was reckless just now. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." He came over and bowed to apologize to Yu Shu. Now she was the king and he was the minister, it was not shameful.

Yu Shu quickly bowed and replied, "How dare I? Your Excellency, you are too polite." This was the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and he held absolute power. She had just arrived and could not afford to offend him.

Seeing Yu Shuo's generosity and her outstanding dancing and painting skills, Qin Shi Huang laughed and said to her, "My beautiful lady, please accept my title. I will confer you the title of the Great Qin Beauty Consort."

Hearing Qin Shi Huang's words, all the officials in the palace shouted in unison: "Your Highness congratulates the Empress Li."

After finishing this matter, the First Emperor was eager to see what the three-piece set of cavalry was. Fortunately, Chen Fang had already prepared a horse equipped with these things and was delivered to him by a black-clad soldier.

"Your Majesty, please look. This horse has been equipped with three sets of equipment." Chen Fang extended his hand to introduce it to the First Emperor.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at him and said, "Meng Qing, you go and try it." No matter how much you brag, you have to see the actual results, right?

Meng Tian bowed and said, "Yes."

He immediately got on the horse to try it out. Sure enough, with the Gaoqiao saddle and stirrups, riding a horse was extremely stable, and Meng Tian's hands were free.

Meng Tian naturally understood very well what this meant to the Qin cavalry.

After running a few laps around the training ground in the palace, Meng Tian excitedly dismounted and said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen Fang is a great talent. With the Gaoqiao saddle and stirrups, the combat effectiveness of our Qin cavalry will be greatly improved."

Qin Shi Huang said happily: "Very good, this is a sharp weapon! I will reward you well. I will appoint you as Zuo Gengfu, reward you with ten thousand gold and a bucket of pearls."

After hearing this, Chen Fang immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty, thank you very much for the reward. I have something to ask for your permission." He thought to himself that this fat guy was really generous. He actually gave ten thousand gold coins. If Chen Fang knew that this ten thousand gold coins turned out to be copper coins, he would probably curse.

Qin Shi Huang was very happy now. Today he had a beauty like Yu Shu and a powerful weapon for the army. "What can I do for you, my dear minister?"

"Your Majesty, as you know, I have a company that specializes in paper business. I want to form a guard team of a thousand people. I hope your Majesty will grant my approval." Chen Fang expressed his thoughts. Now that he is a small man, he is really afraid that this fat guy will send a large army to encircle and suppress him.

What did Qin Shi Huang think was the big deal? Just a thousand people. "My dear, I approve of your request." If you only have a thousand people, I'm afraid you won't be able to rebel. If you do, then you're just not awake yet.

Li Si and others were quite unhappy with the emperor's reward. Just become Zuo Gengfu? This is a high title in Qin State, belonging to the twelfth level of the twenty-level title. Although there is no real power, there is status.

But today he had already offended the First Emperor once, and he didn't dare to offend him again.

. . . . .

With the permission of the First Emperor, Chen Fang began to recruit guards in Xianyang City. Chen Fang only wanted common people, that is, the working people at the bottom, and his treatment was just right.

Twenty knife coins per month!

Now is a prosperous time. Two Dao coins can buy 100 kilograms of corn, which is enough for a family of five to live happily, and even the children can be sent to find a teacher to go to school.

So Chen Fang drove the carriage around and recruited more than a thousand people in minutes. First, he bought a piece of land outside the city, then built a manor, and finally he could start training. All this took time.

In the evening, Chen Fang returned to his residence, and Lu Zhi asked worriedly.

"Husband, you are recruiting those guards? But..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Fang could of course understand what he meant.

"Don't worry, my child. I won't do anything that I'm not sure of. You'll know the outcome after you see about this..." Chen Fang comforted Lu Zhi a few words. Feeling Chen Fang's reaction, Lu Zhi said with some refusal.

"Husband, let me tell you something. I may be pregnant." Lu Zhi said with a smile. She didn't expect to have a child so soon. It was such a happy thing.

"That's great. You must take care of your health recently. I'll ask Gao Yao to make some supplements for you." Chen Fang has always been concerned about his children.

"Thank you, my husband." Lu Zhi looked happy.

Chen Fang immediately found Gao Yao and told him the situation.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll make sure Lu Zhi gives birth to a healthy baby. Alas, I don't know when I can go back... I don't know how Gao Lan is doing."

It can be seen that Gao Yao is missing his family. He is obsessed with his sister. Chen Fang, who is by his side, is about to have a child in Qin.

"Old Gao, do you believe that there are people in this world who look exactly like you? Do you?" Chen Fang suddenly thought of Xiaoyue in the palace, so he said to Gao Yao.

"How is that possible? They are exactly the same. He is just kidding." Gao Yao curled his lips.

Well, it’s all in vain. Let’s wait until Gao Yao meets Xiaoyue before talking about it.

The next morning, the eunuch who was in charge of announcing the Emperor's decree arrived, and the area around the Chen residence became extremely lively.

"Mr. Chen Fang, you have made a great contribution by offering gifts. You are awarded a reward of ten thousand gold coins and a bushel of pearls by Zuo Gengfu. I will announce this to the world."

The eunuch said softly, "Today, Chen Fang's name will surely shake Xianyang!" The decree would definitely not say what Chen Fang had specifically offered, as that would be a leak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhi and Lu Su beside them were also confused. They had never heard Chen Fang say this, but they still joined in thanking him. Lu Zhi thought to herself that she would have to ask about it later.

Gao Yao was also happy for Chen Fang. Although he didn't know what kind of official position he held, it sounded very good. There were so many rewards and tens of thousands of gold coins. That must be a lot of money.

Chen Fang stuffed some knife coins into the eunuch who announced the decree, and the latter left with a smile on his face. Doctor Zuo Geng was really generous. This is what it means to offend the gods but not the ghosts.

There is no benefit in offending such a person.

"My husband, what is going on? So I am now the wife of Doctor Zuo Geng, and our family also has a title?" Lü Zhi said with a smile on her face. Lü Su and Gao Yao looked at Chen Fang, also wanting to know what was going on. The title was a very important thing in the Qin State.

"I presented it to the emperor... Do you understand now?" Chen Fang told her what happened that day. Women were naturally not very interested in these equipments. Lu Zhi pulled Lu Su to see the gifts from His Majesty.

Gao Yao was thinking to himself, why didn't he think of these things? Then he thought, he didn't know history, so how could he know when horseshoes and stirrups appeared.

"Old Gao, just pick whatever reward you like," Chen Fang said generously.

"Really!"

"That's still false."

Gao Yao ran over happily. He just saw those pearls and they were very dazzling. If he could bring a few back, it would be like a fortune. He would even laugh out loud in his sleep.

Chen Fang finally found out that the so-called ten thousand gold was just some copper. He shook his head speechlessly. I thought it was gold, but this is it? Ten thousand gold is bullshit.

"My dear friends, have you heard about this? His Majesty has taken in a new concubine who is both beautiful and talented."

"I've heard about it too. Speaking of this lady, she is truly stunningly beautiful."

"Yes, I heard she came from Donghu."

"No, it's from Yuezhi."

"You are all wrong. The latest news I got was from the Huns."

Chen Fang was walking on the street with Lu Zhi and heard people talking about it.

"Husband, did you see this lady that day?" Hearing their discussions, Lu Zhi was also very curious.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Of course I have. This is the princess from Tuanlai. This country is located a hundred miles north of Guangyang County. It is a small border country with a population of less than 200,000 and no more than 10,000 soldiers."

"But he does look good." Chen Fang smiled.

"I never thought such a small country could produce such a stunning beauty as Concubine Li."

Lu Zhi didn't think much about it, because she was the emperor's concubine.

"I gave you so many cosmetics. When Zhier dresses up, she is much more beautiful than Concubine Li. By the way, you can't use those cosmetics now." Chen Fang warned.

Chapter 259 Excited Gao Yao

A warm feeling surged in Lu Zhi's heart. He was worthy of being her husband.

The two of them came to a teahouse to rest for a while. Now that she was pregnant, she naturally couldn't walk for a long time.

"Sir, can you tell me what's going on over there?"

Chen Fang smiled and said, "In fact, from the moment I came to Qin, I have been a part of history. I am no different from you Qin people. I just have more advanced knowledge than you. In fact, there may be more people like this in the future."

"And don't mention such things again in the future!"

"Uh, sir, I get it."

Lu Zhi curled her lips, knowing the importance of this matter, she would not bring it up again. At this time, Chen Fang suddenly thought of Xiaoyue in the palace. Seeing Gao Yao wanted to go back all day, it seemed that he had to get her out.

This is something that other people cannot do, but it is just a matter of words for Prince Fusu. However, this is equivalent to selling a favor to the other party, so why not just hand over the movable type printing technology to Fusu?

The next day, Chen Fang came to the young master's mansion again. The soldier at the door already knew Chen Fang and immediately went to report. Soon, the young master's mansion's officer Zhan took Chen Fang in.

"Sir, how come you have time to come here today?" Fusu asked politely. Chen Fang made great contributions to the Qin State. Papermaking and the cavalry triangle were both great inventions.

"Do you think that the transmission of knowledge is too troublesome nowadays?"

Fusu nodded, "Sir, that's true. Now that we have paper, it's fine. But before, when we used bamboo slips, it was even more so. The bamboo slips took several carts to move, which was very inconvenient. Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

He didn't think that Chen Fang was asking just for fun, he must have some purpose.

"Yes, I invented a printing press. Even with paper, books are copied now, which is time-consuming, laborious and extremely inconvenient."

"Sir, what is printing? Can the achievements of printing be compared with papermaking?" Fusu asked happily.

"The printing technology to be invented this time, its contribution to human civilization may not surpass papermaking, but it is no exaggeration to say that it has the same status as papermaking." After all, these are two of the four great inventions.

"Ah? And... the same status as papermaking! Is that really true, sir?" Upon hearing this, Fusu was really shocked.

The invention of papermaking shocked the entire Qin State and completely ended the history of people writing on bamboo slips. Now there is another invention that is just as good as papermaking. Isn't that going to be a disaster?

Printing can be said to be a great gift to human development. It is no exaggeration to say that it has the same status as papermaking.

China's printing technology is also an important part of Chinese culture. It emerged with the birth of Chinese culture, and has evolved with the development of Chinese culture, influencing the development of social culture.

It was the invention of printing that promoted the spread of writing and the activation of culture, which made the culture colorful and promoted the growth of the scholar class, allowing China's traditional culture to be spread and preserved. The mass production of printed books eventually allowed knowledge and culture to be widely popularized among the lower classes of society.

Therefore, the invention of printing is a glorious chapter in the history of human civilization.

Anyway, I will spread it myself in the future, so I might as well use Fusu's hand to implement it now. Wouldn't it be better to pick up a ready-made one by then?

"Sir, what exactly is this printing technology?" Fusu was now itching to know what this thing was.

"You all know the seal, right?"

"I know, what's wrong with that?"

"Sir, you just need to carve each character into a seal, carve more commonly used characters, and then arrange the seals according to the text of the book. Can't you complete the copying of the book quickly?" Chen Fang explained with a smile. The principle is actually very simple. It came out not long after the appearance of paper.

The contents of the book are made into carved boards like seals.

Then, you just need to dip the engraved block in ink, then cover the block with white paper, and use a clean brush to lightly brush the back of the paper, then take the paper off, and a page of the book is printed. After the pages are printed one by one, they are bound into volumes, and a book is printed successfully.

At this point, even the dumbest person can see that this printing method is probably hundreds of times faster than manual copying!

This method of printing books is not only faster than manual copying, but also can unify the style. As long as there are no mistakes in engraving the plates, many shortcomings such as omissions, mistakes, and neat handwriting can be avoided. In short, this printing method is simply perfect for textbooks.

"Great, sir, this idea is really brilliant!" Thinking of this, Fusu was simply amazed by Chen Fang!

"Sir, please follow me into the palace quickly. Let's go to meet the emperor together. I will recommend you for a reward. This will benefit the country and the people." Fusu's laughter was so loud that it could be heard throughout the mansion.

"My lord, there is no need to be so anxious. Wouldn't it be better to make the finished product before meeting the emperor?" Why is Fusu so anxious and not steady at all?

"Then as you said, it is Fusu Menglang who is responsible. I will order people to arrange these matters." Fusu laughed. It would be the same for anyone. This is a good thing that will be passed down through the ages.

Fusu smiled and looked at Chen Fang and said, "Sir, you have made great contributions to the Qin State. I wonder if there is anything you need me to do for you?"

That's good, I don't have to ask for anything. I gave you the printing technique because I needed your help. Otherwise, why would I come to your mansion? Isn't it better to stay at home and accompany my wife?

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Originally I was reluctant to tell you this, but now that you are so open-minded, I will shamelessly tell you."

"It's like this. I have an old friend who was from Huiji County in the old Chu State. When the Chu State fell, a sister of his clan was captured and taken to the palace to be a maid. He asked me to find this sister and take good care of her, so I would like to ask you for help to take this sister out of the palace."

After listening to Chen Fang's words, Fusu realized that it was such a trivial matter. Taking a palace maid out of the palace was nothing to Fusu.

"This is not a difficult matter. Sir, do you know the whereabouts of this girl?"

Chen nodded in his heart. It seemed that he still had to rely on Fusu. That's right. He was the eldest son of the First Emperor after all. What was a palace maid to him?

"Her name is Xiaoyue. She works as a maid in the palace. She was a Chu citizen in ancient times. It seems that she has two sisters." Chen Fang had a vague memory of this little girl named Xiaoyue. It seemed that she had an elder sister in the palace, but she died during the plague.

"It's okay. I'll send someone to handle it." Fusu waved his hand. This little thing was nothing. Chen Fang had helped him so many times. If the printing technology was successful this time, it would be a great achievement.

This matter was indeed not a difficult matter for Fusu, and he didn't even need to show up in person. He just said hello to the relevant personnel, and someone went to take care of it for him. Two days later, Xiaoyue was sent to the prince's mansion.

After finishing this matter, Chen Fang refused Fusu's request to stay and left the Prince's Mansion! Anyway, when the time comes, someone will be sent to inform Chen Fang, so there is no need to worry about this.

. . . .

Yi Xiaochuan has now gained a firm foothold in the palace, and he bows and nods every day. If Gao Yao were here, he would not believe that this is still the same elegant Yi Xiaochuan.
