Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

It seems that after I go back, I have to take care of it.

In a few days...

Everyone finally returned to Xianyang.

As soon as they stepped into the gate of Xianyang, it wasn't Dongfang Bubai and Ying Zigao who were excited.

It's Suzaku, the servant of the household department.

Suzaku was shocked!
This is completely different from the Xianyang she imagined!

The towering city wall is 30 meters high!

Inside the city walls, there are tall buildings!

Countless workshops are blooming all over the city!
In the distance, huge chimneys were still billowing black smoke.

Of course, Ying Zigao knew that the smoke from those chimneys was not good.

Over time, it turned into smog.

But Suzaku didn't think so.

In her eyes, those black smoke means prosperity!

It means technology!

Means progress!

After entering the city of Xianyang, Ying Zigao got out of the carriage, rode on the horse, and walked side by side with Suzaku.

He didn't deliberately snub Dongfang Bubai, but wanted to study the next development plan of the Great Qin Kingdom with Suzaku, a talented girl.

Now, although the scientific and technological strength of the Great Qin Kingdom can be regarded as the best in the world!

but……

This is not what Ying Zigao wants.

What he wants is an industrialized Daqin!

The necessary condition for realizing industrialization is the invention of the steam engine.

Although Ying Zigao knew the principle of the steam engine, Ying Zigao still had no idea how to create it.

Therefore, Ying Zigao dictated the principles of the steam engine to Suzaku.

When Suzaku heard this, his eyes widened immediately!
She stared at Ying Zigao and said, "Your Majesty! You... Your idea is simply wonderful!"

Ying Zigao smiled and nodded, "Then, are you confident in making this steam engine?"

Hearing this, Suzaku thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I have observed it when I was working as a handyman in the inn."

"After the boiling water is boiled, the steam produced can even float an egg in the air."

"It's just that I never thought that after boiling water, it can produce such a large amount of steam power!"

"If you want to make the steam engine in your mouth, it is difficult to say, but it is not easy to say."

Suzaku had a brainstorm, and then said: "First of all, to achieve such a large steam, we need a high-pressure boiler."

"At present, Weichen has not thought of using anything to make a high-pressure boiler that can withstand this kind of pressure."

"Based on my Daqin's bronze smelting technology, bronze cannot be used as a raw material for a pressure cooker, but iron... Iron should be fine, but further experiments are needed."

"In addition, in order to drive the steam engine, besides water, we also need fuel. Although ordinary firewood can be used, it is not very efficient."

Hearing this, Ying Zigao interrupted: "Coal, we have coal."

When Suzaku heard this, he also thought of the coal that Ying Zigao produced.

So he nodded heavily immediately and said: "Yes! Coal! This thing is highly efficient!"

"All right!"

Ying Zigao patted Suzaku on the shoulder and said, "When you get back later, you can just do this."

"no problem!"

After returning to Xianyang Palace, Ying Zigao started to get busy again.

For three consecutive days, Ying Zigao did not receive any ministers.

Because, he thought, since the steam engine came out, why didn't he work hard to invent kerosene?
It is impossible to invent electricity with my current level of knowledge.

The working principle of the steam engine is very simple, in fact, Suzaku is not used, and you can find a way to make it yourself.

But the power plant, I can't do anything about it.

I am not this professional.

Therefore, what Ying Zigao could imagine to replace electric lights was kerosene.

Oh, and gas lamps.

Today, although Xianyang City is prosperous, it always feels like something is missing.

If you can think of a way to make a gas lamp, then...

Doesn't Xianyang have street lights?

At that time, when night falls, gas lamps will be lit on both sides of the street, just think about it!
Therefore, Ying Zi simply drew the structure of the gas street lamp on the blueprint.

Not only in Xianyang City, but also in Xianyang Palace, gas lamps will have to be installed.

Ying Zigao was only responsible for designing the structure of the gas lamp.

As for how to get the gas and where to get it, that's all Suzaku's task.

In addition to gas lamps, Ying Zigao also thought that although Xianyang City is very large, with the advent of the industrial revolution in the future, there will definitely be a shortage of land in Xianyang City.

In addition, those farmers who went to Xianyang City did not have the money to buy real estate.

At that time, there will be more people and less land, and the locals will become resistance, and the migrant workers will become the bottom-level people who will be squeezed.

For example, from the eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, the population of London grew from 100 to [-] million!

Although the arrival of the industrial revolution made the city of London prosperous, but at the same time, it also produced many disadvantages.

In order to make a living, the poor at the bottom can only do some sneaky things.

At that time, the crime rate will increase greatly!
The gap between rich and poor is huge!

This is a very serious problem!

Even if Xianyang City is expanded, abandoning the city wall, and expanding it in a way of spreading the pie, it may not be much better.

There is no public transportation in this era, and if the city area is like a modern city, it will be even more inconvenient to manage.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai found that Ying Zigao was still in the study, so he held a candle, came to Ying Zigao's side and said, "Your Majesty, why are you still working!"

As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai looked at Ying Zigao's blueprint.

Taking a closer look, Dongfang Bubai rubbed his eyes.

"What is this?! A house?"

Ying Zigao stretched his waist and said, "I call it an apartment."

"apartment?"

Dongfang Bubai looked at Ying Zigao curiously.

Ying Zigao nodded, and patiently explained: "In order to ensure the operational efficiency of Xianyang City, I intend to design a new plan."

"Funded by the imperial court, the civil land in Xianyang City will be purchased to build low-rent housing for the common people to live in."

"The apartment covers a small area and has no courtyard, but it can accommodate countless families. It is estimated that each apartment covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters and is five stories high. There are two to four households on each floor. Six families lived there."

"The facilities in the apartment are complete, there must be an independent drainage and water intake system, and an independent indoor hut can be built in the apartment."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai was shocked!
"The hut is placed indoors? Doesn't that stink?!"

"You don't understand that."

Ying Zigao looked at Dongfang Bubai, smiled and said: "I have already said that the apartment must have an independent drainage and water intake system. The hut is made of ceramic pits, which can be washed with water to flush the filth into the drainage system." middle."

"Then the drainage system flushes it to the septic tank outside the city.
