The Arsenal Foundry Division occupies almost one-third of the entire Arsenal Workshop, and the sound of tinkling is endless, and there are thousands of craftsmen working here.

When Yingzheng's royal car arrived, almost everyone put down their work and bowed their hands and shouted, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"No need to be polite, keep busy with your business! I'll just take a look. ”

Ying Zheng looked approachable and said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The craftsmen bowed again, and then began to get busy again.

Soon the clanging sound sounded again, and it was a hot scene.

The man ordered the forged horseshoe, saddle, and stirrup to be fetched.

After a while, Ying Zheng looked at the horseshoe on the plate that was brought to him, the wooden Takahashi saddle, and the stirrups wrapped in iron sheets, and his eyes lit up.

That's it, as long as these are mass-produced, the era when cavalry could not be the main force will be gone.

As long as the Hetao grassland is recaptured from the Huns, and then the Dayue clan is expelled from Longxi, and the Xihai grassland is obtained.

Careful animal husbandry and the implementation of the horse order, within a few years, the empire will be able to organize a large-scale cavalry to the north and push the desert sideways, who can stand in its way?

"Within a year, each of these three things will cost 100,000 pieces."

Ying Zheng couldn't put it down, stroking the horseshoe on the plate, and said to the public.

"Your Majesty, even if you kill the minister, within a year, you won't be able to make 300,000 horse harnesses."

Gong Yimo was sweating profusely, and knelt down directly, bowing his head and saying in panic.

"Huh? Why? ”

Ying Zheng saw that Gong Yi Mo was so eloquent, even if he was desperate, he didn't dare to accept the edict, so he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, the iron-making technology has only just begun, and Daqin's annual iron-making output is pitiful, even if all the stocks of these years are exhausted, it will not be able to meet the amount of stirrups and horseshoes."

"The saddle is made of a mixture of wood and leather, and it is a bit sure that it can produce 100,000 lieutenants a year."

"But horseshoes and stirrups, even if Your Majesty kills the ministers, there are not so many iron utensils."

Gong Yimo was already sweating profusely, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

I don't know if it's hot like this, or if I'm scared into a cold sweat.

Ying Zheng frowned, looked at the horse's iron hooves and stirrups, and said in a deep voice: "Send people to find graphite veins in the internal history, can there be progress?" ”

Once coal is available, it can not only greatly increase the output of ironmaking, but also make a leap forward in the quality of ironware.

To make steel from iron, coal is the key.

"Back to Your Majesty, I am still searching, and no large-scale open-pit graphite mines have been discovered yet."

Gong Zhimo wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with the corner of his clothes, and said cautiously.

"Did I pass on the Heavenly Artifact I gave you to them?"

Ying Zheng's voice was cold and piercing, and he said with an angry look.

"Your Majesty, this scripture is all-encompassing, broad and profound, and it is difficult to comprehend its essence in a short period of time."

The voice of the male ink is a little lacking, and the more he speaks, the weaker the voice becomes.

"Stupid, Tiangong Kaiwu has a special article on mineral prospecting, first learn this to find graphite ore, and then learn others."

Ying Zheng scolded loudly, almost pointing his nose and scolding.

"Keeping in mind Your Majesty's teachings, you will do everything you can to find graphite mines."

Although Gong Yimo was scolded, he could only smile with a smile on his face.

"If you find graphite ore, you can greatly increase the output of ironmaking, and all problems can be solved."

"Within a month, I must hear the good news, otherwise I will doubt your ability to be able to serve as the Shaofu of the Great Qin Empire."

Ying Zheng stretched out a finger, and after speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"Minister, send your majesty."

Gong Yimo was extremely bitter in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

It was only after His Majesty had left that he stood up a little dejected.

"What do you see? Don't have to work anymore? ”

Seeing the craftsmen looking at him, Gong Zhimo suddenly roared angrily.

Seeing that the top boss was angry, the craftsmen hurriedly got busy again.

Graphite is nothing new, it's just extremely difficult to mine.

As His Majesty said, the open-pit large-scale graphite mine has not been found since ancient times.

Ore prospecting has a method of finding ore veins as early as in the several articles of the pipe, but it is very simple.

Compared with the strange book of heavenly creations given by His Majesty, it is even more different.

Graphite ore must be found in a month, otherwise there is no doubt that His Majesty will let himself return to his hometown for retirement at that time, which is the best result.

Even if His Majesty kills himself in anger, he will die in vain.

It seems that we will continue to send more people, anyway, Your Majesty has promised that he will use the power of the whole country to support himself.

It is necessary to invite all the people from the public loser to Xianyang, and in addition, write a letter with a generous gift to invite the people of the Qingxi Wang family.

As a descendant of the Ghost Valley, the Qingxi Ghost Valley Wang family is proficient in the art of feng shui, and knows the mountains and rivers and landforms well.

With their help, the chances of finding a graphite vein are greatly increased.

Gong Ink racked his brains, but all the families or people who could help and contribute to the search for graphite ore flashed in his mind one by one.

Xianyang Palace Pingtian Temple......

Ying Zheng lay on the couch and flipped through the recitals.

After a busy day, he felt a little tired.

But there are still a lot of pieces from all over the country to be reviewed.

Zhao Zhong, who was waiting on the side, looked at His Majesty with a tired face, still insisting on handling government affairs and state affairs, and said with a heartache: "Your Majesty, it is better to rest early today!" ”

Ying Zheng looked at the chapter and said, "I can rest, and I can also approve government affairs tomorrow." ”

"But tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much."

"I can delay, I can wait, can the people in the world who are suffering from disasters wait?"

"The sooner I deal with it, the sooner they can get the court's compensation and aftermath."

"Did you say I could sleep?"

Zhao Zhong felt that his nose was a little sour, and his old tears were hazy, and he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

He is also an old man in the palace, and when His Majesty was not in charge of the government, he was on an errand in the palace.

Later, he was appreciated by His Majesty and made a eunuch order.

For more than ten years, His Majesty has handled government affairs day after day, and has never slackened off for a day.

The daily review of the chapter is counted in stone, so the Lord and the Holy Monarch, why do the people of the world still add chaos?

He tried to persuade His Majesty to pay attention to his body, but his mouth opened and he could not speak.

"Go to sleep! I'm going to be late. ”

Ying Zheng turned over and sat up, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, stretching a big drop of lazy waist, with a look of enjoyment.

"The minister is not sleepy yet, so he is serving His Majesty here."

"The minister instructed the dining room to make some snacks for His Majesty to enjoy."

Zhao Zhong's face was full of smiles again, and he said to Ying Zheng.

"Hearing you say that, I'm really feeling a little hungry."

"By the way, there may be some unpeace in the palace recently, as a eunuch order, you have to pay more attention!"

Ying Zheng spread out the piece in his hand, then picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and began to write annotations on it.

When Zhao Zhong heard this, his cloudy old eyes flashed with a strange light, and he bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will take care of the harem, so that Your Majesty has no worries." ”

"Go ahead!"

Ying Zheng focused on writing the annotations, he was still very satisfied with Zhao Zhong's words, and smiled.

"Yes."

Zhao Zhong bowed, and then slowly left the Pingtian Palace, and after walking out of the gate, he directly beckoned to several attendants outside.

Several attendants immediately closed the two huge doors of the main hall slowly.

Zhao Zhong looked at the night sky, his expression showing ruthlessness.

His Majesty's implication is that he is worried that Zhao Gao's henchmen will cause trouble in the court?

After all, Zhao Gao has been in the palace for many years, and there are many servants who have been pulled up by one hand.

However, he is not a vegetarian because of his eunuch order.

Because His Majesty favors him, he and Zhao Gao have been at peace all these years.

But when His Majesty mentioned this matter today, he obviously hinted that he wanted to nip all the unstable factors in the court in the bud.

can take root in the court, and who is soft-hearted?

Good people have long since died......

The world can only see the majesty and magnificence of the palace, but who can see how many resentful bones are buried in the dark corners of this deep palace compound?
