"That's why... this minister thought of a way to hire these Tianzhu laborers."

"Humph!"

Ying Zigao snorted coldly and said, "Then have you ever thought about the many laborers from Tianzhu! Where will they go after the railway is built?"

"Stay in my Great Qin? Live with us Qin people?"

"Don't you know what it means to be a non-me race, and the truth is that their hearts must be different?"

"Suzaku, I know that you are loyal and capable, but no matter what, we can't make fun of Qin people's blood!"

"Do you want your descendants to walk down the street in the future, only to find that the streets are full of Tianzhu-style buildings and dark-skinned Tianzhu low-caste people?"

"It's not that I discriminate against them, but that we should have a national concept."

"Don't let these foreigners destroy the foundation of my Great Qin Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Suzaku nodded slowly: "I'm guilty of the crime, the emperor appeases my anger, I... I will order them all to be expelled!"

"never mind!"

Ying Zigao waved his hand, and continued, "They're all here, let them stay here and build the railway!"

"But one thing, you must remember clearly, after the railway is built, these people, no matter how many there are, will return to Tianzhu! None of them can stay in Daqin!"

"Yes! Weichen...understand."

Suzaku nodded quickly.

"Women can stay,"

Ying Zigao added another sentence.

"what?!"

When Suzaku heard this, he was dumbfounded.

How can this still favor women over men?

Besides, men are the labor force!

What can a woman do if she stays?Give Qin Sheng a child?
Seeing this, Ying Zigao patiently explained: "Suzaku, did you know that women are also great productive forces."

"Moreover, from a genetic point of view, human beings basically follow their fathers. As long as the Tianzhu women stay and the men leave, it will not change our race."

Ying Zigao knew very well that in this day and age, although women's status is not high, they are very important.

As early as the pre-Qin period, it was recorded that a country can only become strong if its population is prosperous!

And the prerequisite for a thriving population is - women.

In this early period, even if a woman committed adultery, no matter how big the crime was, as long as it was not murder and rebellion, the punishment would not be too heavy.

Because you want to keep a woman, give Daqin a boy!

Although the current Daqin is thriving economically, but the labor force is really not enough.

The entire Great Qin has a population of only 500 million!
To maintain the industrial revolution, a lot of labor is needed!It is also necessary to maintain the overseas colonies of the Great Qin State.

It is also necessary to retain a large-scale elite force.

As a result, Daqin's labor force is not much.

Of the 500 million people, after removing the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children, the remaining labor force is 1000 million.

The real situation may be even more pessimistic.

Therefore, having children is the top priority now.

It is necessary to increase the population of the Great Qin Kingdom in order to maintain the international status of the Great Qin Empire.

After Ying Zigao finished explaining to Suzaku, Suzaku nodded blankly: "This... I understand... I understand."

After finishing speaking, Ying Zigao came again: "By the way, how is the construction of Chidao going?"

"Oh!"

When Suzaku heard Ying Zigao's question about Tie Chidao, she immediately perked up.

She quickly raised her head, looked at Ying Zigao, and explained proudly: "Return to the emperor! At present, a railway connecting the east and west has been laid across the country. Take a steam train from Xianyang to Jiaodong County, at most It will be there in three days!"

"In normal times, we would need at least a month's journey from Xianyang to the easternmost point."

"Even if it is accelerated, it will take at least a week."

"But now, people can take a steam train, this thing! It really benefits the people!"

After hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "How many iron tracks are still not laid?"

Suzaku thought for a while, and said, "Well... there are at least 30 more..."

Ying Zigao almost fainted when Suzaku said that.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay! Hey!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zigao turned around and said, "I'm going back to Xianyang Palace first. It will be another half a year after we say goodbye."

"Okay! Then...Your Majesty, go slowly! I won't send you off!"

Ying Zigao waved his hand and ignored her.

After entering Xianyang Palace, it was already night.

Ying Zigao was walking on the square in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, looking curiously at the gas lamps emitting faint light around him, feeling very strange.

This feeling makes people feel very magical and very weird.

It seems that there is a feeling of time and space interlaced.

The surroundings are full of antique ancient buildings, and the people on the streets are also wearing traditional costumes.

Here, it is clearly the Qin Dynasty.

However, there are machines of the industrial revolution!
The entire Xianyang was almost shrouded in smog.

Only Xianyang Palace and a few places near Xianyang Palace look very clean and clear.

Ying Zigao knew that if this continued, Xianyang would become a city of fog!

But he had no choice.

With Ying Zigao's current ability, making a steam engine is already the limit.

He can't make any high-tech products such as semiconductor chips.

Without high technology, if you want to maintain the status of the Great Qin, you can only desperately develop industry.

At that time, the air in few places across the country is estimated to be clean.

However, considering that his father Yingzheng is very old, it is not good to breathe the air of Xianyang often.

Maybe he will lose a few years of life.

But at this time, Ying Zigao thought of Penglai Wonderland.

He squeezed it, and said to himself: "It seems... I have to find a chance to visit Penglai Wonderland."

"That island seems to be very suitable as a summer palace for the father to retire."

After finishing speaking, Ying Zi walked into his bedroom with high strides.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he found Dongfang Bubai dressed in red, and rushed forward!
Like a koala, he hugged Yingzi tightly and said, "Your Majesty! Why do you keep running outside when you have nothing to do? Tell me! Is there someone outside?"

Ying Zigao was taken aback when he heard this.

Good guy, when did this girl get so good at joking?
Ying Zi shrugged his shoulders, hugged Dongfang Bubai in his arms, put her on the bed and said, "I am the emperor, if I want someone, do I need to go outside and look for it secretly?"

"makes sense."

Dongfang Bubai nodded.

Then, she raised her head and said like a little girl: "Then, this time, Your Majesty, can you stay in Xianyang for a while longer?"

"Or, next time, if you want to go, take me with you, okay?"
