I Want To Be Qin II

In this era, gold is not gold in the true sense, but copper. The currency of the Great Qin Dynasty and the currencies of the countries in the Central Plains are all copper.

Therefore, bronze swords require a large amount of copper ore veins, and the cost is too high, but once iron is popularized, the price will be much lower.

Not only the development of ironware will be better, after all, the Daqin bronze technology in this era has reached its peak, which is equivalent to a black technology.

However, future development will consume a large amount of iron ore veins, while bronze is expensive, and copper is the demand for currency.

No matter from which point of view, the popularity of ironware is good for Daqin, and there is no harm.

What's more, Ying Gao has seen the era of colorful flowers, so he knows that iron ore veins will definitely be more convenient than bronze in the future development.

There is no doubt about it!

After all, this book has passed the test of time and has been tested in later generations. In Ying Gao's memory, everything is clear.

No matter what, the Great Qin Empire needs to let the Iron Age come.

Therefore, Ying Gao has been subconsciously and even deliberately promoting the development of Daqin's iron smelting technology.

He wants to promote the transition of Great Qin from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. In this way, it will greatly improve the national strength of Great Qin.

What's more, there are some things that iron is more suitable for casting.

There are even some trans-epochal things that make Daqin take off completely.

What's more, the horseshoes, stirrups, and saddles require a lot of iron. Therefore, whether it is for the Great Qin court or the people of Great Qin, it is a major choice to bid farewell to the Bronze Age and enter the Iron Age.

And he is now establishing the Daqin Central University, Mohism Academy, Computing Academy, Taoism Academy, plus Daqin Shang Workshop, Shaofu, and the laboratory in his mansion.

Maybe start the first industrial revolution!

Once this era arrives, Daqin will have the ability to traverse the entire earth. This is the opportunity for Daqin's Black Dragon Banner and Xuanniao Banner to be planted all over the world.

Therefore, Ying Gao has always had great enthusiasm for this matter. He believes that this era of Daqin has such potential.

Historically, the reason why Daqin did not have such an opportunity was simply because there was a lack of a leader in that era.

Missing a forerunner!

But in this era, he, Ying Gao, the son of Da Qin, is that prophet.

The person who led the entire Central Plains and achieved leapfrog development.

Looking at the Central Plains, this position, this person, no one else.

"How much cheaper is iron than bronze?"

The Great Qin had an army of nearly one million. Although Ying Zheng was not directly in charge of the Su Nei History Office, he was aware of the annual consumption of the Great Qin's elites.

Hearing what Ying Gao said, he couldn't help but said to Ying Gao.

Hearing this, Ying Gao thought for a long time in his heart, and said to Ying Zheng, "Father, the reserves of copper ore veins are too small, but there are many iron ore veins, and the reserves are huge."

"As long as our iron smelting technology is mature, the swords and weapons produced will be far superior to bronze, at least ten times more."

After taking a sip of tea, Ying Zheng suppressed his shock and pondered for a long time before turning to Ying Gao and saying.

"Since this is the case, this matter must be followed up, and let your laboratory isolate a report on this matter."

"The same is true for the promotion of iron smelting technology, speed up."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao pondered for a moment, then turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Father, the development of iron smelting technology requires extremely high temperatures."

"Charcoal alone is not enough."

"The most suitable fuel for iron smelting is coal, but within the area controlled by Daqin, there are coal veins, but they are all small veins."

At this moment, Ying Gao paused, took a sip of the tea on the long table, and said to Ying Zheng.

"Jing Yesi under Erchen got the news that there is a huge coal vein near Pingcheng where Yanmen is located."

"And it belongs to the open air,

It is easy to mine, and the minister thought that he should lead the army to conquer Yanmen first and occupy Pingcheng. "

"In this way, Daqin will have enough fuel, and when the problem of iron ore veins is resolved, we can begin the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age."

"Pingcheng in Yanmen, this is the land of Zhao State, and now Li Mu is still there, even if you defeated Li Mu, if you want to get the land of Yanmen, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

As the lord of Great Qin, Ying Zheng knew the geographic locations of all countries, let alone being close to Great Qin.

After Ying Gao opened his mouth, he immediately sensed the position, turned to Ying Gao, and said, "Unless there is a big battle with Zhao Guo at this time, it is impossible to get Yanmen."

"Um."

Nodding his head, Ying Gao looked at the map in the study, pondered for a moment, and said, "It is indeed necessary to fight, but there is no need to provoke Zhao Guo at the moment."

"This time I will go south, and it will take a month for the army to recruit and act. Therefore, I plan to let the rest of the generals who go south to recruit 100,000 troops, and go to Bashu to station first, so as to find out the local situation."

"At the same time, my son personally entered Xihai County, led the Mang Sparrow Army and the Wan Sheng Army, and mobilized 100,000 Qin sharp soldiers, a total of 300,000 to 400,000 troops, and wiped out the remnants of Rong and Di in one fell swoop."

"Then fight a war to destroy the country and annex the entire Great Yuezhi!"

Ying Zheng's eyes flicked along Ying Gao's fingers, and he looked at Ying Gao with some puzzlement, and said, "These places are relatively desolate and far less fertile than the Central Plains. Why do you have to annex this place first?"

With his finger on the location of Gansu in later generations, Ying Gao said in a low tone, "Father, according to the news from my ministers, the area occupied by the Da Yue clan and the remnants of the Rong and Di tribes can not only support tens of millions of people, but also have iron ore veins." , coal veins, huge reserves."

"My son means that Daqin understands that there are 300,000 to 40,000 troops, and they will calm down here in one fell swoop and make this place the rear of Daqin."

"At that time, whether it is iron ore veins, coal ore veins, or salt ore veins, they will all fall into my Daqin's hands."

"By that time, our Great Qin's national power will increase greatly, and our war potential will increase. If the minister can finally get through the extreme south."

"Within five years, Great Qin will undergo earth-shaking changes. At that time, with the three treasures of the cavalry, our Great Qin will be able to wipe out the northern aliens such as the Xiongnu and Donghu."

"Then pacify the land of Baiyue, conquer the north and the south, and establish a Great Qin where the sun never sets!"

For the empire on which the sun never sets, as long as they are travelers, as long as they have an opportunity, as long as they are men, they will yearn for it.

After all, that sentence was too shocking.

Ying Gao also wants to proudly declare to the world one day that the sun will always shine and never set on the territory of our Great Qin Empire.
