Now they knew the problem.
What they lacked was a way to solve it.
They had a hunch that if Ying Zheng in the main world could be serious, he would be able to sweep the world and bring the East to an unprecedented height.
This feeling was particularly strong.
“If only the main world’s Ying Zheng could see through the sky and see the future, he would know that the people of the future really know their mistakes.”
Old Zhang sighed and said helplessly.
When this was said, Old Wang next to him couldn’t help but change his expression slightly.
Then, he said meaningfully:
“That’s not certain. If Ying Zheng in the main world saw what happened a few days ago, he might really dare to ignore it completely.”
During this period, merchants from all over the country took up Qin Shihuang’s traffic and then showed their ugly faces. It was a big fuss.
Many people wrote letters. They naturally knew about this matter.
However, they were too busy these days and had no time to deal with it.
“”Old Zhang, what do you think we should do about this?”
Old Wang said with some distress.
There are too many people involved in this matter.
“Let me think about it carefully. We must not be careless about this matter. We must be careful. After all, modern times are not ancient times. There is a big gap between them.”
Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching eyebrows.
This matter is simple to say, but it affects the whole body.
Many times, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
At this time.
A golden light flashed across the sky and gradually went out.
There was no way to continue watching
……
The main world of Qin.
After Ying Zheng brought people back to Xianyang Palace, he did not review the memorials, but returned to Zhangtai Palace as usual.
As mentioned before, with Zhang Han, Meng Yi and others watching, he did not need to worry too much.
Most things can be solved by these people.
As for Wang Ben and Meng Tian, there is no need to worry too much.
Through the sky curtain, he has received news that everything has been a success.
What needs to be done now is to wait for the end of a year and see what system rewards will be obtained.
Ying Zheng is looking forward to this system reward.
“Compared with the White Elephant Kingdom, the Bangzi Kingdom is much weaker. I wonder if the reward this time is as generous as the last time.”
Ying Zheng clenched his fist lightly and sighed softly.
It is worth mentioning that after several times of strengthening by the system, his body functions have reached an extremely terrifying level.
Not to mention relying on the body to cut mountains and chisel stones, it is not much different.
Ordinary hot weapons in later generations can only cause him some skin injuries at most.
Of course.
This is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that in addition to the skin and flesh, the internal organs have changed.
Ying Zheng can clearly feel that his body is very healthy.
Although he doesn’t know how many years he has left to live, he guessed that it will be at least two hundred years. The normal life span of a normal person is a hundred years. When the organs are strong, the life span will naturally be extended. Adding the life span rewarded by the system, it is not difficult to reach two hundred years.
“Although I can live for two hundred years, what should I do with people like Meng Yi and Zhang Han when the time comes?”
“Now they are still in their prime, but what about ten, twenty, fifty years later?”
Ying Zheng lay on Fusu’s thighs, squinting his eyes and looking at the sky, and suddenly realized a very serious problem.
I dare not imagine.
Decades later, when these people around him leave one after another, what should I do.
Relying on the advantages of a time traveler, he can win over all the talents in the next two hundred years to train under his command, but the art of controlling people depends not only on interests, but more on people’s hearts.
It is not easy to communicate with so many people at the same time.
Meng Yi, Zhang Han and others are easy to use because they originally respected Qin Shihuang.
If Ying Zheng is asked to conquer these people again, it will be much more difficult than imagined.
For example, Ying Zheng knows that Han Xin is extraordinary, but if he wants to recruit him, it will be difficult to convince him unless he happens to appear when he endures the humiliation under his crotch.
People will only remember the light that appeared at the most difficult time in their lives.
“Your Majesty, the development of light industry has hit a bottleneck again recently, and we are short of manpower.”
Just as Ying Zheng was lost in thought, a respectful voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Ying Zheng looked up and found that
Zhang Han was waiting at the door.
“Old Zhang, long time no see. You must have worked hard these days.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, motioning Zhang Han to sit down, and then spoke in a friendly manner.
He did not put on too much airs for these trusted ministers.
“Your Majesty, the good news is that the Shaofu has developed fast enough. The coal balls, wind oil, cotton-padded jackets and other things you mentioned have all been invented and popularized, and have won praise and support from many people.”
“The bad news is that the current manpower has reached a critical point, and if it continues to develop, it will easily collapse.”
“Because there are not enough people, there will be many problems.”
Zhang Han was flattered and found a seat to sit down, then picked up the kettle next to him, filled the two cups in front of him with water, and said with a wry smile.
Let’s put it this way, recently, he almost used one person as two people.
Even so, there are not enough people.
“My Great Qin has nearly six million people, and this is not enough?”
Ying Zheng’s eyes widened, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
He had guessed before that there might not be enough manpower.
But he thought that would be at least a few decades later, because only after it developed to a certain scale would it face this problem.
Logically speaking, the current Great Qin could not reach that scale at all.
“Your Majesty, you will know if you go and see it.” Zhang Han shook his head and said nothing more.���It’s not enough to just talk about it.
It’s better for Your Majesty to see it with your own eyes.
“”Okay.”
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng nodded and agreed.
He drank the water in the cup, and then left with Zhang Han.
The chariot was very fast, and it arrived at the Shaofu half an hour later.
As soon as he entered the Shaofu, Ying Zheng was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There were several large barrels on the left, which looked like cement trucks in later generations.
On the right, someone was holding a hammer and hitting something.
Looking closely, someone was making steel bars. In an instant, Ying Zheng was stunned.
Before this, he gave Zhang Han a lot of drawings, including steel bars, cement and soil.
At that time, he had put his arm around Zhang Han’s shoulders and imagined that if the city wall of Daqin was built with steel bars, cement and soil, even if there were dozens of times more enemies, they would not be afraid.
At that time, Zhang Han patted his chest and claimed that he would invent it within a year.
He just thought Zhang Han was joking.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually took it to heart.
“Cement has been successfully developed, but the output is a bit low, so a lot of manpower is needed. However, other people are busy building ships, forging iron, and weaving cloth. No one is making cement.”
“This is because the hundreds of thousands of refugees before have been mining and providing raw materials for Daqin. Otherwise, I am afraid that even iron forging will not be able to continue.”
Zhang Han pointed to the surroundings and smiled helplessly.
Xianyang City naturally cannot accommodate so many people, but Daqin’s territory is not small.
Long ago, Zhang Han opened branches around Xianyang City and Shu County… These places are all Daqin’s light industrial industries.
In short, the current Daqin is almost the same as the later generations except for the lack of modern machines.
Under the guidance of Ying Zheng, Zhang Han even invented the assembly line.
“It is true that our Great Qin has six million people, but one million of them are old, weak, women and children, another million are soldiers and officials, and the remaining four million are almost all invested in the production of light industry.……”
Zhang Han rubbed his head with his hands, his face full of helplessness.
He had never thought that one day he would be short of manpower.
This was something he had never dared to think about before.
“Also, Your Majesty, the grain in the Shu Plain is about to mature. By then, we will need at least 300,000 people to harvest the grain.”
“The rainy season will come early this year. If we don’t harvest, the crops will rot in the fields.”
“By the way, Your Majesty, where did you get such amazing crops? It’s really terrifying. The grain reserves of my Great Qin in recent years have increased more than ten times compared to the past.”
Zhang Han found a map somewhere, pointed to the Shujun Plain, and said. When he thought of those crops, a flash of heat flashed in his eyes.
A few years ago, Ying Zheng received a system reward. That time, the system rewarded potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other crop seeds.
Ying Zheng gave it directly to Meng Yi and asked him to send people to plant them in the Shujun Plain.
After years of planting, these crops have matured one after another.
Ying Zheng did not let people eat the crops, but waited until they were mature, and then replanted the seeds to expand the scale.
To this day.
The entire Shujun Plain. The plains are now covered with potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.
Before long, these crops will be popularized throughout the Qin Dynasty.
This is because the Shujun Plain has undergone another expansion and a piece of wasteland has been reclaimed. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to plant seeds.
Ying Zheng frowned and did not speak, because he suddenly realized a problem. (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
That is, the current Qin Dynasty is too strong.
We must find a way to exert the excess strength.
If we don’t exert it, it will definitely cause unimaginable unrest.
Some time ago, he had a vague premonition that the Qin Dynasty’s will to fight had reached its peak.
The system of conferring titles based on military merits had laid the foundation for the Qin Dynasty to keep running like a war machine since the previous generations of emperors.
However, he took a different approach to develop light industry, thus dividing people’s attention, but when light industry developed to its peak, everything returned to the original state.
This is why Wang Ben and Meng Tian led their troops to the expedition.
Because they realized this problem.
Now there are two paths before Ying Zheng.
First, find a breakthrough and continue to develop light industry crazily. Improve the strength of the Qin Dynasty so that the people do not have to pursue military merits only.
The second is to start a war.
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and wondered what to do.
He knew a lot of later technologies in his mind, but due to the limitations of technology, many things could not be introduced.
Could it be…
Is it time to start a war?
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng had an idea in his mind.
He thought of a great way!
This method can not only solve the problem of insufficient manpower, but also bring the Qin Dynasty’s military merit system to its extreme.
That is to capture slaves from other forces.
And there is a place that is most suitable for the implementation of this method.[]
The Maurya Dynasty during the Qin Dynasty, India during the Tang Dynasty, and the Insan Kingdom in later generations!
The current Maurya Dynasty has everything it wants, but there is one thing it has.
That is manpower.
According to historical records, the Maurya Dynasty later claimed to have 100 million people. In fact, it is naturally impossible to have that many, but if it is cut in half, it should still be more than enough.
At the very least, there will be 10 or 20 million people.
But soon,
Ying Zheng fell into hesitation again.
There are two roads from the Qin Dynasty to the Insan Kingdom. One of the roads is to cross the Himalayas, which is the shortest straight-line distance.
The other road is to detour from the White Elephant Kingdom.
The first road is dangerous, but close.
The second road is far, but safe. The current Qin Dynasty is absolutely a giant on land, and it is not afraid of anything except natural dangers.
“.Pass on my order to hold a morning court tomorrow. I have important matters to discuss.”
“Shaofu, you continue to maintain the status quo, I will find a way to solve the problem”
“Send another order to the soldiers of the Great Qin, and let them prepare for the war. The war is not far away.”
After taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng slowly spoke.
After all these years of development, it is time for the Great Qin to continue to expand its territory.
As for unifying the six kingdoms…
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
If there is a choice, he does not want to unify the six kingdoms now.
History has not changed, and people in later generations have not tasted the price yet.
“”Yes, sir!”
Zhang Han was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly shone with a gleam of light.
If someone else said this, he might not have much fluctuation in his heart.
But Ying Zheng had helped him solve too many problems in the past. His ability is absolutely real.
Moreover.
He did not forget that the reason why the Shaofu developed so fast was entirely due to Ying Zheng.
All those drawings of the Shaofu were taken out by Ying Zheng.
So far, no one knows how many secrets this majesty has.
Ying Zheng waved his hand to drive Zhang Han away, and then wandered around the Shaofu slowly alone.
He stayed in Zhangtai Palace almost every day these days, enjoying the massage of the maids. It has been a long time since he took a good look at Xianyang City.
As he observed, Ying Zheng suddenly found that Xianyang City could not be said to have changed from before, but could only be said to have nothing to do with it.
In the past, Xianyang City was also decorated with gold and jade, and luxurious to the extreme.
But you can tell at a glance that it is an ancient building.
And most of the streets are bungalows.
It’s different now.
Under Meng Yi’s transformation, many places The houses were demolished and high-rise buildings were built instead. (Yes)
Of course.
It can’t be compared with the high-rise buildings of later generations. There are only five or six floors in total.
But this is a good breakthrough.
The buildings in the imperial city were not moved, but some ordinary houses in the city were renovated.
In addition, the streets are more orderly than before. What made Ying Zheng stunned was that one of the streets was made of cement.
The cement was polished very smoothly, just like the roads in later generations.
There were many people around, watching with interest. When they saw the first emperor coming, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.
These people had never seen such a strange road in the past.
Following this cement road, to the back mountain, Ying Zheng found that the whole back mountain was full of blacksmiths, all working on iron.
Until then, he finally understood why Zhang Han said that there were not enough people.
At the beginning, there were only a total of one thousand blacksmiths here, but now it is roughly estimated that there are at least two or three thousand people.
Part of the original mountain was hollowed out.
Use underground fire to smelt iron
“As expected, we Orientals are all infrastructure geeks at heart.……”
Ying Zheng looked a little strange.
In just a few years, the Qin Dynasty had undergone earth-shaking changes.
If you look down from above at this time, you will find that Xianyang City has expanded again compared to the last time.
Outside the original city wall, a new city wall was rebuilt, and an outer city was added.
There is no way to explain it.
The scale of the Shaofu is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more infrastructures. The original Xianyang City can’t accommodate it at all.
Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty lacks everything, but skilled craftsmen and materials.
It is not difficult to build a city wall.
In other words, there are not enough people, otherwise Zhang Han would even want to demolish the original city wall and expand it outwards.
“”Your Majesty!”
Everyone hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Whether it was the soldiers or the blacksmiths present, their eyes were full of enthusiasm.
The achievements of the Qin Dynasty today are inseparable from the Majesty in front of them. If it were not for the Majesty, the Qin Dynasty would never have developed to this point.
