Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Because Wu Zhiluo and the others went in the form of a caravan, and they only listened to Wu Zhiluo's verbal rhetoric about Daqin's strength.

And after Wu Zhiluo and others were dealt with by the Peacock Empire, those rumors about Great Qin were naturally taken as a joke.

However, no one expected that Daqin's revenge would come so quickly and so decisively.

An elite army of less than 1 people finally defeated a powerful prince of the Peacock Empire head-on at the cost of less than 1000 casualties. Such combat power, let alone seeing it with their own eyes, even they dared not even dream about it.

Even those countries in the Western Regions doubted whether they could stop the elite of the Qin army if they all added up.

"Hiss! Che'er, what is the origin of this elite under your command?"

In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Che was having a hot pot with Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng was holding the information that had just been sent back, along with the head of the prince of the Peacock Empire.

Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a trace of fiery enthusiasm. The most elite troops he has ever seen should be the soldiers of Wei Wu Qi trained by Wu Qi and the iron eagle fighters of Da Qin.

However, Wei Wuzu and Tie Ying Ruishi at their peak were not products of the same period, so the two sides have no experience of fighting, and it is difficult to compete.

However, Ying Zhengneng could clearly feel that Zhao Che's troops were not inferior to Tie Ying Ruishi and the peak Wei Wuzu in strength, and they were even better.

It's hard to imagine how Zhao Che cultivated such a powerful army without leaving the Jingshui Pavilion all these years.

There are also the three thousand white horse righteous followers led by Zhao Yun, and the Jinyiwei who are responsible for protecting Zhao Che. Those alone are absolutely elite.

Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Zhao Che just smiled and didn't explain much.

These troops were naturally summoned by the system's sign-in rewards, and they could be said to be Zhao Che's biggest trump card.

When he thought about rebelling before, he was counting on these subordinates of his own.

"After this battle, the prestige of Daqin in the Western Regions has spread, and the opening of the Silk Road will only be smoother. After the spring of next year, Wu Zhiluo will be sent to the Western Regions again, and it happens to bring back some young people from the Western Regions. In the prime of life, as a labor force, I will spread the culture of Daqin to the past."

Zhao Che casually picked up a piece of mutton and put it in the bowl. Now the northern grasslands have also been included in the territory of Daqin.

Daqin's animal husbandry industry can be developed on a large scale, and it can do business with the Western Regions. The best commodity is naturally silk.

After all, this is the origin of the Silk Road. In addition to silk, after the development of cattle and sheep raised on the grassland, more handicraft products can be produced.

Such as wool coats, leather shoes, wool and so on.

While Daqin was developing animal husbandry, it happened to be able to drive the development of the handicraft industry, a bit similar to the first industrial revolution, which brought the development of handicraft industry and light industry to a new level.

"That's right, you know better than me how the Western Regions develop. I will bring it up in the court and see if the ministers in the court can come up with any effective suggestions."

"Population is still the top priority. It is a good thing for us to relocate a group of people to the northern grasslands before the year and develop the local animal husbandry as soon as possible. It is best to give the relocated population With some compensation, this will be more conducive to our development.”

The current Daqin is not short of money. The annual tax plus the revenue of various factories, under Zhao Che’s suggestion, Yingzheng also raised the business tax. The annual income alone is enough to support the development of Daqin at this stage. up.

The two most needed indicators of population growth, economy and food, are not difficult for Daqin today. If we focus on domestic production and construction, the population will expand rapidly.

For those countries in the Western Regions, Zhao Che intends to gradually take them down through cultural means and immigration.

For most of the countries in the Western Regions, the method of war is not a good solution.

War means bloodshed and death, and at the same time, it will also make Daqin show a tough and tyrannical impression in front of those countries in the Western Regions, which is not conducive to future rule.

Through culture and compression of the living space of the local aborigines, it is the most appropriate and safest way to let those countries in the Western Regions voluntarily submit to the Great Qin.

Of course, Daqin's expansion is far beyond the countries of the Western Regions. For Daqin, the biggest threat at the doorstep has been solved, and the next target is the nearest Peacock Empire.

Where is the current situation of the separatist regimes of the princes, the country is in chaos, and the local residents are struggling to survive. For Daqin, it is a good time to send troops.

The population of the Peacock Empire is still large, and these people are still very useful for Daqin, which is currently in short supply of labor.

……

After eating, Zhao Che left Xianyang Palace and came to Daqin's scientific research institute.

In today's scientific research institute, after such a long period of training and study, the scientific researchers selected by Zhao Che have already mastered a lot of new basic theoretical knowledge, and with the help of various new experimental equipment, their learning progress has improved by leaps and bounds.

"Young master, are you here?"

As soon as Zhao Che arrived at the research institute, Gong Shuchou, who got the news, hurried over to greet him in person.

"I'm just here to take a look. What's the current situation at the research institute? What's the need?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Your Majesty and Mr. Fusu have provided good support for the scientific research institute. We can directly apply for anything we need, and there is nothing we need."

"That's good."

Zhao Che nodded, and walked around inside with Gong Shuchou. Sure enough, the conditions of the current scientific research institute are already very perfect.

"Good job!"

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Gongshuchou is indeed a good administrative talent. In the scientific research institute, his technical level may not be the highest, but for the affairs of the scientific research institute, Gongshuchou can handle them in an orderly manner.

"I have some mechanical drawings here. With your current scientific research level, you should be able to quickly understand the principles and manufacture them. I ask you to mass-produce these things in the shortest possible time. Are you confident? "

Zhao Che took out the blueprints he had brought with him when he came here and placed them in front of Gongshuchou.

"Young master, what are these things?"

Gongshuqiu asked curiously.

"They are all about handicraft machines. The mechanical principles are not complicated. It should not be difficult to learn according to the drawings."

What Zhao Che gave was the drawings of the hand-woven machinery, the flying shuttle, the spinning machine, the screw loom, and the hydraulic loom.

These few things were all invented during the first world industrial revolution, which largely replaced manual labor and replaced the original manual work with machinery.

Among the items dumped by Daqin to the Western Regions, the most important ones were cotton textile products such as cloth and silk.

However, the artificial production of cotton textile products is slow, low in output, and difficult to guarantee in quality.

The emergence of these machines can greatly liberate part of Daqin's labor force, allowing them to spend their energy on other aspects of construction.
