My Great Qin Cannot Die

Straight!

It was a military road, and Cai Zhong didn't dare to be careless. He could only build this road with the utmost ability, not only to be strong, but also to have the shortest distance.

Unlike the galloping road, if this vast mountain blocks it, you can take a detour, but you can't go straight.

There is a saying that soldiers are expensive and fast, since it is for military use, it is natural to aim to reach Jiuyuan quickly.

Although Cai Zhong is in the palm of Daqin Heavy Industry, during this period of time, he is only building the framework of Daqin Heavy Industry, and then sorting out the major projects in the Daqin Empire.

He only just got to know Zhidao, and it is Chidao who is really involved.

After all, Cai Zhong has not been involved in this matter for a long time. Most of the time is spent on building the framework of Daqin Heavy Industry, and he has no time to participate in the straight road project.

The most important thing is that, whether it is straight or galloping, there are currently special officials in charge. If he wants to participate, he needs a more appropriate time.

……

"Cai Zhong, if you stop the three major gallops, and then gather all your strength to build the straight, will it be completed within a year?"

Ying Zheng's thoughts were different from those of ordinary people. He wanted to open up a straight road in one fell swoop. The threat of the six kingdoms' legacy was far less than that of the Xiongnu in the north.

Even though the flames were raging in the country, Ying Zheng didn't want the Qin Empire to be invaded by the Huns, and the people would suffer.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed possible to speed up, but this minister does not agree to do so!"

Cai Zhong first nodded towards Ying Zheng, and then shook his head: "Your Majesty's projects in various places, especially on Chidao, have already entered the middle stage, and some have even reached the later stage."

"Once you go to the straight road, it will not only hurt people and money, but also affect the mood of labor..."

"With the situation of the Great Qin Empire, if your Majesty wants to calm down the interior, I'm afraid it will take five or six years, and within this time, the straight path will definitely be completed."

……

Cai Zhong's father is Cai Ze, and he is also the young master of Ji Ran's family. He has the knowledge he should have.

He naturally knew that the First Emperor frequently made moves to clear up the disputes on the Central Plains and suppress the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Nine times out of ten, it was to resolve the land of the Xiongnu in Mobei and Nanyue.

"What you said makes sense, but the straight path must be completed in the shortest possible time. After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, so how can there be a thousand days to prevent a thief."

When Ying Zheng said this, he sighed to Cai Zhong. For the Qin Empire, whether it was the Huns or Nanyue, they were all thieves who peeped at the Qin Empire.

For these thieves, kill them quickly!

"Cai Zhong, how many outstanding people do you think will be born in the national examination this time?"

Facing the first emperor's question, Cai Ze was also taken aback. He naturally knew about the national examination.

During this period, the land reform and the national examination in Xianyang were the most talked about in the Daqin Empire. Although the national examination has not yet died, the storm caused by this policy is not small.

After all, whether it is land reform or national examination, it is a decision to break the routine of the Qin Empire, which is equivalent to digging the corner of the aristocratic class.

Cai Zhong was not only a courtier of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also the young master of the Ji Ran family, so he was naturally concerned about the national examination.

"The national examination is naturally beneficial to the Great Qin Empire. To be honest, there are people in the Jiran family participating this time. Even if there are not a few hundred, there will still be more than a dozen outstanding people."

Cai Ze knew in his heart that this national examination was not only an opportunity for the common people, but to a certain extent, it was also an opportunity for a hundred schools of thought.

For a long time, although a hundred schools of thought were prosperous, they were only among the people. Above the court, only the real talents, such as Shang Yang, Zhang Zi and others, could be like a duck to water.

The assessment and promotion systems of the Daqin Empire before were all for the service of the aristocracy, and it was not easy for a hundred families to enter official careers.

And this time, the first emperor issued an edict that the world should be based on meritocracy. Even though the moral character will be assessed, as long as it is a talented person, there will be a chance to stand out.

It can be said that this is an opportunity, whether it is for the masters or the common people.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Cai Ze's words, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Aiqing is too optimistic. It is a blessing for more than 2,000 people to have two or three outstanding people."

"Although the land in the Central Plains is huge, it is easy to find talented people, but it is hard to find outstanding people. There may be nearly a hundred people who are suitable for careers!"

Ying Zheng didn't have much hope for the national exam.

He knew in his heart that a hundred schools of thought were prosperous, and there were great talents among the common people, but these people did not mean that they were really suitable to enter the court.

After all, this national exam is a big wave to wash away the sand, and only a little gold will be left shining.

……

"Aiqing, Daqin Heavy Industry will write a memorial for this year's income and expenditure details and send it to Xianyang Palace!"

"No."

Daqin Heavy Industry does not have much advantage at this time, but the role of Daqin Heavy Industry in the future is bound to be irreplaceable.

In fact, Ying Zheng once thought of using Daqin Heavy Industry to make the Daqin Empire transition to the next stage.

A complete transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age!

In this era, although iron wares are already very common~www.wuxiaspot.com~, bronze wares are more common, which has a lot to do with the current situation of Daqin. Although Daqin's bronze technology has reached the pinnacle, it is imperative to change.

Bronze ware is suitable for viewing, but not suitable for combat. The bronze weapons in the peak period may have a certain advantage over the early iron weapons, but this weak advantage will be replaced in a very short time.

Ying Zheng knows better than anyone that in the future, bronze ware has been replaced, and until later, iron ware is the mainstream in this sky.

It's just that Da Qin at this moment is still stuck at the peak of bronze and cannot extricate himself. Even the weapons in the hands of Daqin Ruishi today are basically all bronze.

There are historical reasons for this!

But it has to change!

Before Da Qin was unified, there were not many iron ore mines on the Qin land. If you want to equip the three armies to fight for the world, the number is far from enough.

The most important thing is that at that time, Da Qin was obviously behind the Central Plains countries in terms of iron smelting technology. The adoption of the peak bronze technology was actually a helpless choice for the Da Qin Empire.

It was based on this consideration that Ying Zheng immediately ordered Cai Zhong to establish Daqin Heavy Industry, and today's Daqin has the most advanced craftsmanship in this era.

As long as Daqin Heavy Industry cooperates with Shanggongfang, it is only a matter of time before bronze ware is replaced by iron ware.

Of course, the replacement issue this time requires a smooth transition. Right now, it's not a good time.

"Cai Zhong, I have high hopes for Daqin Heavy Industry!" Taking a deep look at Cai Zhong, Ying Zheng said earnestly, "I hope Daqin Heavy Industry will become a giant beast of gold."

"In the future, I will need a lot of money and food, and Daqin Heavy Industry will assign important responsibilities!"
