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

Just think that the railway can be laid around Xianyang City.

But unexpectedly, Ying Zigao's ambition was even greater!Want to connect the whole country!
It's not easy!

Not to mention the labor issue.

Even Daqin's annual fine steel output would not allow Ying Zigao to be so profligate!

Right now, the Daqin army consumes several tons of fine steel and other metal materials every year!

But now, looking at the entire Great Qin, only the former Seven Kingdoms are capable of producing metals.

The annual output is only 200 million catties!
Converted to the modern metric system, it is a thousand tons.

A thousand tons of steel sounds like a lot.

But how big is the entire Great Qin?

In China in the 21st century, the annual output of steel alone has reached an astonishing billions of tons!

It must be measured in billions!

Even if the time goes back 200 years, England at that time had just entered the industrial revolution, and the annual steel production was enough to reach millions of tons!

But today's Daqin, the annual output of fine steel is only [-] tons. If you want to start the industrial revolution, this output of fine steel is far from enough!

In order to completely increase the production of fine steel, Ying Zigao needs further reforms.

Prior to this, regardless of any dynasty in China, strategic materials such as metals and salt were all government-run.

Although this ensures that these strategic materials will not flow out, at the same time, it also limits productivity.

At this time, Suzaku beside him said, "Your Majesty? You... what are you thinking?"

Ying Zigao shook his head, then turned to look at Suzaku and said, "If there is enough stainless steel, how long will it take to lay tracks across the country?"

Suzaku thought for a while after hearing this, and continued: "If it includes the main cities of the whole country, it is expected...to be completed within two years."

Hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded slowly.

Today, there are not many major cities in Daqin, and there are only a dozen of them.

Although the speed is still a bit slow, but now it seems that there is no better way.

Right now, it is to increase the production of fine steel.

After visiting Suzaku's research institute, Ying Zigao took Dongfang Bubai back to Xianyang Palace.

After returning to Xianyang Palace, Ying Zigao immediately began to study the management plan of the private refined steel smelter.

Any metal is an extremely precious strategic material.

If you let go rashly and let the businessmen run the business, there will inevitably be some troubles in the future.

Therefore, I must order a very strict management plan.

After staying up all night, Ying Zigao wrote a complete management plan.

In the end, Ying Zigao handed over the plan to Hubu Shangshu.

After receiving this management plan, Shangshu Hubu also looked confused.

But Ying Zigao has already written it very clearly.

In Daqin, from now on, there must be an enterprise system.

Enterprises are uniformly under the jurisdiction of the "Industrial and Commercial Government Department" under the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The function of the Department of Industry and Commerce is to manage all merchants and workshops in the world.

Any merchants, ranging from small tea houses and restaurants to large workshops, must all be filed in the Department of Industry and Commerce.

And to take a formal name, completely obey the court.

The most important thing is that the management plan clearly stipulates that strategic materials such as grain, metal, and wood must not be sold outside without permission!It can only be purchased with funds from the imperial court!
If you want to sell it to the outside world, you must first pass the review of the Department of Industry and Commerce, and then you can only pass the review.

Sure enough, opening up to business is an important factor in increasing production!
Only a few months!
In the country of Great Qin, a hundred flowers bloom together!
Various private factories have opened up one after another!
However, with the start of private factories, problems also followed.

Since ancient times, capital has been a cancer that invades the people.

Those wealthy businessmen who opened factories, in order to earn more profits, crazily squeezed the common people!
There are even problems of employing or buying and selling child labor!

this day……

A frail woman in light green clothes and a veil came to a factory.

From the looks of a woman, she is not someone who watches rough work.

Although, now women don't need to stay at home with their husbands and children, and they can also work in textile factories, but this is a steel factory!
Seeing this, a foreman waved his hand and said, "Go, go! This is a steel mill! If you want to find a job, go to the spinning mill on the west side of the city!"

The woman smiled slightly when she heard it, then raised her head, stared at the huge steam engine in the factory with some shock, and said, "These mechanisms don't seem to be something that the Mo family can make."

"Sure enough, that little emperor, was he prepared?"

"What do you say?"

When the foreman heard this, he immediately turned his face: "Do you dare to say that your majesty is the little emperor? You don't want to live, do you? Get lost! If you don't want to live, don't drag us!"

After hearing this, the woman smiled slightly, then turned around slowly, looked at the children who were about twelve or thirteen years old, and said, "I heard that the little emperor reformed education, and now, all children can get free education." Go to school and study."

"Why does such a young child work in this workshop?"

The foreman was really helpless, so he said: "Go, go! Why do you care so much? Are you from the Department of Industry and Commerce?"

"Department of Industry and Commerce?"

The woman smiled, and continued, "It's kind of interesting."

Then she turned around and left the factory.

After the woman left, the foreman said with a dazed expression, "What a strange woman, she lost such a good figure for nothing."

After speaking, he turned around and went back to work.

After being separated for many years, the woman also saw the changes in Xianyang City.

Although, the changes in Xianyang City surprised the woman very much.

There are beautiful houses and strange organs everywhere.

But it was a mess.

There are huge chimneys everywhere, billowing black smoke.

The bad news is that this city has become more crowded.

The good news is that the quality of life of the people in the city has visibly improved.

People can afford new clothes, and the houses they live in look very beautiful.

And that transparent window.

Standing outside, you can clearly see what the people inside the house are doing.

Moreover, within a few blocks, you can come to a garden.

Although these gardens are not as good as the royal gardens, for ordinary people, they don't need to live a life of sunrise and sunset.

They have enough free time to visit these gardens.

The woman walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to a teahouse.

After entering the teahouse, she went straight to a box on the second floor.

Pushing the door open, another tall woman in a black and red dress was sitting in it.

In his hand, he held a cup of tea.

"How about it, now, does this Xianyang open your eyes?"
