Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

"Since this is such a good opportunity, I am willing to make amends." After seeing all this, Ziying placed his hands on his chest and gently clasped them together, then saluted the engineers and laborers in the workshop to express his sincerity.

In response, people all responded to his greetings and got down to work, voluntarily participating in the labor, including contributing to the activities of the workshop as an auxiliary role - Li Shang also took the initiative to participate in this.

"No! If the gear is damaged, the entire production line will have to stop!" Gong Shupan stopped Li Shang, who was curious about the mechanical device.

"Isn't it just helping out with some work?" Li Shang thought doubtfully.

Just the day before, he personally presided over the use of the saw table in the woodworking workshop and completed a piece of wood cutting. But now he was not allowed to touch these devices?

Gongshu Pan smiled and said, "Unlike woodworking tools that require human manipulation, the sugar press that Your Majesty created with ease is a semi-automatic device that is composed of hundreds of small gears and balls and is self-propelled by water!"

"Gears? And rolling circles? Can this machine run semi-automatically?" Merchant Li looked at him in surprise.

“Don’t mention you. I don’t know what kind of wonderful machine it is either,” Ziying chuckled and shook his finger.

When the two men turned to him, Gongshu Pan recalled the operating manual written by Fusu and explained confidently: "Sir, please look at this thing called a transmission belt. The whole structure is based on thick linen as the core, and thin wooden sticks are sewn below with ropes. These two things are cleverly connected. Once the water pump shaft starts to turn, the belt will start to work. It can send the cleaned sugarcane to the juice press in front."

He pointed to the small water pump outside and said: "After the water flows through the water pump, it will be sent to the high point, and then flow to the storage pit according to the laid route - this process can be used just right for washing sugarcane!"

"It's amazing!" Li Shang exclaimed sincerely, "Then what else can I do?"

"Oh," Gongshu Pan paused, "It's the small bucket under the juicer that extracts the sugar liquid..."

"In other words, in this sugar refinery, apart from the two processes of melting sugar and refining sugar, the rest requires a lot of manpower, right?"

"That's exactly what you mean. You're so smart!"

Ziying happily accepted Gongshu Pan's compliments, nodded, and signaled to get ready: "Then let's get started!"

Gongshu Pan finally confirmed that all preparations were correct and asked the craftsmen to connect the water pump and juicer outside the site. A series of linked rotations began, and the sound of "tatatata" gradually became apparent.

At the same time, the transmission belt also rotates with the small wheel, and the cleaned fresh sugarcane slowly moves from one place to another. With the rotation and squeezing of the squeezing juicer, the sugarcane gradually produces juice, which flows through the water pipe and falls into the barrel at the bottom.

"Really, it's really amazing!" Li Shang exclaimed while panting.

Ziying looked at the remaining sugarcane fiber waste after it was cleared, and shook his head, thinking: "As Fusu said, sugarcane waste could originally be used as feed. But some of the family farming books preserved in the palace are missing a chapter. This means that the original method of converting waste into nutritious feed no longer exists... Alas."

Such a beautiful and exquisite machine was ultimately only used for chopping wood.

Soon, with the continuous sound of "tatata", one by one the peeled, stemmed and washed sugarcane were transformed into buckets of residues and finally sent to the pre-prepared sugar refining area.

In this way, under the leadership of Gongshu Pan, they witnessed the miracle of the sugar production process step by step, although in some links, these machines still needed the assistance of human labor.

In order to ensure the security of information, all the workers who make the sugar are Qin people.

Fusu was not worried about Qin's artificial control of sugar technology. In Fusu's opinion, the Qin was a state-run economy, and in such an environment, individuals involved in the sugar industry would eventually become only a raw material provider in the overall industrial process.

This is due to the huge gap in the ability of the two sides to obtain material resources. From another perspective, the larger the scale, the lower the investment cost will be.

So he can eliminate all domestic rivals by developing competitive strategies.

In Fusu's view, the sugar industry, like the production of salt and cast iron, is one of the areas with high profits and involves the core interests of the country. At least in this era, it must not be monopolized by private individuals! Therefore, along with the salt and iron crafts, he insisted that the people in the surrounding wild lands should not be allowed to control the mastery of sugar making.

Let them focus on running sales outlets and supplying materials.

At this time, Li Si walked into the sugar-boiling area with a hundred kilograms of nectar juice. The first thing he saw was a fire rising into the sky, like a volcano erupting, and a huge and heavy iron pot arrayed in front.

"Strange, what's wrong with the coal briquettes here?" He poured the nectar juice on a pile of coal briquettes that looked like a mountain, and made an unexpected discovery. "Are these transported directly from the capital?"

At this time, Gongshu Ban smiled but said nothing. Ying Zheng walked forward and said, "That's not the case. All the coal was mined in the mountains near Qingyuan County."

"Qingyuan?" He thought for a moment, "Is that the southern edge of Changsha County? And there is a coal mine in such a dangerous location?"

"That's true." Gongshu Ban nodded and replied. "Your Majesty's wisdom comes from an ancient book that is said to have been circulated during the Shang and Yin dynasties. There are many hot springs in the Yangshan Pass area. Therefore, the local garrison organized a survey and not only discovered coal mines, but also iron mines and gold mountains!"

"Nanhai County is indeed the lifeline of the country. Your Majesty has far-sighted vision. We are ashamed of ourselves!" Ying Zheng bowed toward Xianchi in the north, with a look of awe on his face.

While the discussion was going on, steam rose from the iron pot in the sugar-boiling area and the rich aroma of sugar began to diffuse in the air, whetting one's appetite.

This indicates that the water in the nectar is evaporating rapidly and the sugar is being boiled out. Gongshu Ban then bowed, hurried forward, and warned everyone loudly, "Don't neglect to stir it constantly to prevent it from burning!"

Facing the ordinary workers who kept flipping wooden shovels, they loudly responded in unison, "Craftsmen, please relax, we know what to do!" This not only affected their wages, but also the public transport class had clearly informed them that individuals would bear all losses for destroying sugar.

After a while, when the syrup at the bottom of the iron pot is almost solidified, pour it out, remove the waste, and stir the remaining honey syrup again while keeping it hot.

On the other side, bucket after bucket of nectar was poured into the pot for processing. A new team of civilians then went through a similar cycle.

In the early winter in the Qin capital of Xianyang, although the sun was shining in the sky, there were dense snowflakes in the air. Fusu sat in the carriage heading to Shanglin Garden, his eyes closed, his thoughts wandering among the news reported by the servants, with a faint smile on his face.

"Someone secretly entered the mausoleum at night to search, and it is suspected that they were trying to find the hiding place of Prince Hu Hai."

Later generations often mentioned that waste is often because it is not placed in the right place. This sentence really describes some people or things aptly.

If Ou Doudou - the person who aspires to understand everyone's wishes and enjoy the interests of others - disappears, there will be a lot less surprises and surprises.

"Send some people to follow them secretly. If you can find the instigator, that would be great. If you can't find him, you must keep a close watch on him. Remember, don't disturb them."

"understand!"

After Gan Fu left, Fusu tapped the wall of the car with his cane to give instructions, and the caravan set off again.

Fusu picked up a bamboo slip and flipped through it before gently putting it down. Thinking of the original plot in history, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "It's not that you can rule a country just because you have the ability. You should also know that you can also cause chaos in a country."

Managing a huge country is difficult, and trying to push a huge empire into disorder by one's own strength is also a daunting task. The first thing to do is to have extreme control over administrative agencies at all levels, so that policy instructions can be smoothly transmitted up and down, and information can flow unimpeded.

Only in this way can the country's vicious actions quickly affect people's lives and shake the foundation of the entire empire.

In the following days, with more undercurrents and strategies being implemented, "Qin Shi Huang" and his successors gradually demonstrated their outstanding ability to control power, obtain and use intelligence. Whether it was for princes, concubines, or the weaving of intelligence networks inside and outside the empire, they all showed unconventional means, making the entire political system appear intricate and subtle. And these details may become the key clues to understanding the rise and fall of a dynasty, allowing us to glimpse the decision-making, power operation and human nature behind it, like the tip of an iceberg, gradually revealing the true face of an era.

Those monarchs who cannot pass on their orders to the borders may end up being manipulated by others. But if you want to become a king who truly controls the world, you need to meet one of the following two conditions:

1. The stable ruling inertia and gradual maturity of the official structure under the long-term imperial rule.

In this regard, looking throughout the world, I am afraid no one can surpass the example of Mingzhi Huaizong.

2. When a newly established empire is just beginning to show its power, if the emperor himself is talented, he will be able to control the entire official system in all aspects, leaving no room for resistance from any force.

Such role models are the pioneers in history. For example, Yang Guang, the great emperor of the Sui Dynasty, left a legacy in the Wangmiao era and a legacy in the future. His feats are unmatched.

He launched expeditions, built canals, and was so power-hungry that he could command officials like slaves, ignoring the lives and sufferings of the people. However, even with the highly centralized imperial power system of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's personal talents were extraordinary, but it still took him three years of hardship to reach the other side of victory.

Let's look at our own situation: since the foolish Ou Doudou changed the calendar, there was the Chen She and Wu Guang rebellion in the first year; in the second year, Zhou Wen led a fleet of more than a thousand chariots and hundreds of thousands of troops, all the way to Hangu Pass, and stationed at Xishui in the east of Lintong, Shaanxi today; in August of the third year, the official performance ended, Ziying became the new emperor and killed Zhao Gao; in October, Liu Bang deployed troops at the gate of Xianyang, and Ziying took the initiative to surrender to Liu; soon afterwards, in November, Xiang Yu entered Xianyang and launched a campaign of burning and looting the city, and finally beheaded and released him.

When constructing the strategic blueprint, the Yueqi Battalion not only planned to intimidate the Yue people in the Nanhai counties, but also to send them to Shu to call out the Ba people who had been hiding in the mountains and jungles, as well as the Qiang people in the central and western parts of Shu, to pay the taxes they had missed in the past.

Fusu pondered for a moment, wondering if there were any undeveloped areas in Shaanxi.

At the confluence of the Heshui River and the Fushui River, there is a huge tomb. This is the tomb of Qin Shihuang's grandmother, which is also Fusu's tomb.

Grandmother, the resting place of Queen Mother Xia.
