Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"By the way, Dad, I almost forgot!"

Zhao Che suddenly patted his head and said.

"In addition to cement, we also need to build a brick factory for firing red bricks. These two are a perfect match!"

"Red brick?"

"When I was building Jingshuiting Primary School, the materials used to build the walls were not only durable, but also inexpensive, and convenient and labor-saving!"

In the architectural structure of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the residential buildings were mainly brick and wood structures, such as the more luxurious palace buildings, which used rammed earth structures.

But these two kinds of architectural structures all have not little defect.

Rammed earth structures are stronger and more durable, but costly and time-consuming.

What Yingzheng wants to build now is mainly the school. If all rammed earth structures are used, it is estimated that the construction will not be good next year.

However, the brick, tile and wood structures of residential houses are made of earthen bricks or fired bricks.

In fact, this kind of architectural structure, placed in ancient times at the same time, already belonged to the world's top technology.

But compared with the results of countless years of accumulated experience and progress in later generations, the gap is still very high.

What's more, the fire-fired bricks of the Qin Dynasty were not cheap, and they were not strong enough.

"That's fine, you show me the method of making this red brick, and I will order someone to build a factory when I go back!"

Ying Zheng fully agreed.

Don't look at this small piece of red brick, but for the whole Daqin, it is a big reform of the construction industry.

If the red bricks are really as powerful as Zhao Che said, the residences in Daqin may have to be rebuilt in the future.

After all, he has seen the results of the construction of Jingshuiting Primary School. It is strong, durable, and has a strong temperature insulation effect.

When the time comes to promote it, the heads of Guizhou will definitely choose better red bricks when repairing and building houses.

Even the heads of Guizhou, whose houses have already been built, may be directly demolished and rebuilt.

Zhao Che quickly wrote down the firing method of the red bricks on paper, and handed it over to Ying Zheng.

"The market for this red brick is also huge in Daqin, and it will definitely become popular in the future. You have found another way of making money for Daqin."

Ying Zheng put away the paper happily.

From last year to now, everything that Zhao Che produced can bring Daqin a way of making money.

The current Daqin treasury is completely different from what it used to be. When mice go in, they cry and leave.

When Daqin has money, he can continue to open up and build new industries, making the heads of Guizhou rich, and Daqin's tax revenue will naturally increase, forming a virtuous circle.

"That's all right, Dad will go back first. After three days, when the students register for registration, Dad will prepare a surprise for you!"

Yingzheng's purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there are unexpected gains, so he didn't stay any longer, got up and bid farewell to Zhao Che.

"Okay, Dad, I'll see you off!"

Zhao Che immediately got up and sent Ying Zheng away before going back to other things.

……

"Go and call Mo Sheng!"

Zhao Che casually told Maverick to grab Mo Sheng who was hiding in the backyard.

"Young Master, what is it? Please order it quickly. After the order is over, I still have to study the steam engine. I found that this thing has a wide range of uses. It can be used not only on cars and boats, but also for other things."

Mo Sheng's face flushed a little because of his excitement and he said that he had been studying the steam engine day and night for the past few days, coupled with the few physics books Zhao Che gave him, he finally found some clues.

"Don't rush to study the steam engine. The most important thing for us now is to make the ship first, and there will be plenty of time for you to study later."

"Ah? Then make it, the young master doesn't want me to do this, does he?"

Mo Sheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face.

"That's right, I'm going to ask you to handle this matter. I've already discussed with my father. We will build piers in Yuyang and Guangyang counties, and you will supervise the preparations."

"Is it okay not to go?"

Mo Sheng begged, he had finally researched the steam engine and got a clue, and he was about to be sent out in a blink of an eye, what about the steam engine?
"No, I still have the affairs of the Jingshui Pavilion here, so I can't get away from it for the time being. You are the only one who understands the production of the steamship. If you don't go, who else will you go?"

Zhao Che rolled his eyes.

"Besides, this is the best opportunity for you to practice. Although the steam engine has been made, you haven't seen its power with your own eyes, have you?"

"I asked you to prepare this matter to give you a chance. When the ship is built, the credit will be yours."

Zhao Che spoke persuasively, and soon fell in love with what Mo Sheng said.

"Okay, son, I'm ready to go, but can I bring those physics books? After all, my preparations for building ships and docks won't affect my continued research, right?"

"Whatever, as long as you can handle things well!"

Zhao Che didn't have any demands on this.

"That's good, thank you son!"

Seeing this, Mo Sheng quickly agreed, then turned around and went back to the backyard, packing up the things he was going to bring this time.

……

On the other side, Ying Zheng had returned to Xianyang Palace at this time.

As soon as he came back, he called Zhao Shu and Gong Shuchou over.

"The widow just went to Che'er's residence. The construction of Jingshuiting Primary School has been completed, and students have begun to register. This has caused a great commotion. There are many Qianshou in other places who want to enroll. So Cher hopes that the widows can build schools in various places as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the schools around Xianyang have been built so far, a total of 52, and a few more are under construction, but if it is to be fully popularized, there may be a lot of gaps."

Zhao Shu reported the situation to Ying Zheng.

"It's not enough. It's just that. We must speed up the efficiency. The construction of the school and the construction of the road must be carried out at the same time. The widow also got a red brick firing method here, which can be used in the construction of the school."

As Ying Zheng said, he took out the paper recording the red brick firing method from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Shu.

"It's still the old rule. It should be reasonable to release news to let those businessmen come to fight for the places to open factories. One factory builds one school, right?"

What happened at the cement factory inspired Yingzheng.

If this red brick is popularized, it will make money no worse than cement. It is not his style to hand over such a big benefit to those businessmen for nothing, so he has to collect some benefits anyway, right?
What's more, the biggest problem in building roads and schools now is not the financial burden, but the lack of manpower.

Where did Daqin find so much labor in a short while?Simply throwing this matter directly to those businessmen can be regarded as helping Daqin to reduce the burden.

"Here!"

According to Zhao Shu's decree, a school is exchanged for a brick factory. For those businessmen, this is definitely a profitable business.

Especially since Daqin already has so many factories and gems in front, isn't that one earning a lot of money?

After Zhao Shu got the order, he prepared to go down and convey the matter to the merchants.

However, as soon as Zhao Shu came to the entrance of the business department, he saw a group of Qianshou who looked tired, kneeling at the door.

"How is this going?"

Zhao Shu's expression changed, and he looked at the guard at the side with a stern look and asked.

"My lord, these people are all factory workers. They knelt here early in the morning, saying that they want to ask you to be the master for them."

"The master? What master?"
