Chapter 38: Another piece of good news
"Ten thousand years of agricultural saints!"
"Ten thousand years of food!"
"Wait for 10,000 years!"
……
Outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was almost surrounded by the people.
In front of them, there were also a large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, corn and other grains.
In the crowd, all kinds of cheers were constantly heard.
There are even people who shout "waiting for 10,000 years in the public toilet", although it is not very good, but it is also the sincere blessing of the people.
This can also show that Zhao Heng built 1,000 public toilets in Xianyang, which is indeed a move for the benefit of the country and the people.
For such enthusiastic people, Zhao Heng naturally can't avoid it.
"Everyone, you don't have to be like this, Heng, as the prime minister of Great Qin, should have let you live a better life, so that Great Qin will become rich and strong!"
With a gentle smile on his face, Zhao Heng said to the people: "Heng's ideal in this life is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of the sainthood, and peace for all generations!" ”
As his words fell, the crowd fell silent.
Immediately afterward, the crowd erupted in even louder cheers.
"Ten thousand years of agricultural saints!"
"Ten thousand years of food!"
"Wait for 10,000 years!"
"Ten thousand years of prime ministers!"
"Public toilets wait for 10,000 years!"
……
Zhao Heng smiled while waving to the crowd, with the demeanor of condolences from future leaders.
It's hard to pretend to be a force, and it should be a success, but if there is a cheer, there is no public toilet waiting for it, it will be more perfect.
Although many people didn't understand Zhao Heng's last four sentences, in their minds, it didn't matter if they didn't understand it, as long as this was the ideal of the prime minister, then they would just cheer and support.
Zhao Heng was outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and talked with the people for more than three hours, and the crowd finally dispersed reluctantly.
"It's so welcoming."
Zhao Heng glanced down at the various handmade gifts in his arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile faintly.
Although these handmade gifts are not worth much, they are all sewn by the people themselves, which represents their recognition of him.
It can be said that the courtesy is light and affectionate!
The enthusiasm of the people made Zhao Heng deeply feel that his efforts in the past six months had not been in vain, and everything he had done before, whether it was the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes and other agricultural products, or the reform of Qin Law, or the popularization of education, etc., were also very worthwhile.
After Zhao Heng felt something, he returned to the main hall.
Although after nearly half a year of hard work, whether it is to reform the law, popularize education, or promote various new agricultural products, he has basically achieved phased victories, but he has become busier.
There was no way, he could only transfer ten new talents from Baiyucheng two months ago to form a secretariat to assist him in handling various official affairs.
Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to complete all the work even if he doesn't sleep.
He is only the prime minister of Daqin, and he is almost busy with official business, so it is conceivable that His Majesty the First Emperor in Xianyang Palace will be even busier, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of opportunities.
This made Zhao Heng can't help but have a thought, even if Yingzheng suddenly loses his mind and goes crazy in the future, and wants to pass on the throne to him, it is estimated that he will have to think about it carefully, being the emperor is busier than now, so how can he enjoy life?
"Lu Rong, how is the charter for the promotion of the treatment of craftsmen?"
Zhao Heng sat directly above the main hall and asked a secretary below.
Lu Rong is one of the three female secretaries of the secretariat, she is twenty-one years old, her appearance is quite delicate, but her temperament is a bit fiery, and she never drags her feet in her work.
Zhao Heng has promoted her to the secretary general of the secretariat, in charge of the entire secretariat.
"My lord, regarding the regulations for the promotion of the treatment of craftsmen, our secretariat has drawn up all the details of the regulations, but some of the regulations still need to be finalized by the lord."
Lu Rong said and handed a document directly to Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng took the document and looked through it carefully.
Lu Rong didn't bother Zhao Heng, and after silently filling the teacup on the desk, she just stood there quietly.
After a while, Zhao Heng, who had finished reading the materials, said to Lu Rong: "That's the basic treatment, but the incentive system needs to be slightly modified, for example, master craftsmen who have been more than ten years can have priority to enjoy the privilege of welfare housing, and there are ......"
After Zhao Heng pointed out a few shortcomings, he asked Lu Rong to print this document into a book, and then send it to various relevant departments, and then push it to various counties.
The treatment of Shinong businessmen, farmers and merchants has been greatly improved, and the spring of craftsmen is naturally not less.
It can be said that craftsmen are absolutely indispensable for the next development of Daqin.
In fact, it is necessary to train a large number of new craftsmen in various fields.
Because Zhao Heng has now begun to work on urban reform, he plans to divide Xianyang City into a new city and an old city, the old city is centered on Xianyang Palace, and all the houses and buildings within a radius of ten miles will not only not be moved, but will also be repaired and protected.
The new city will start building high-rise buildings, concrete roads, and even infrastructure such as sewers.
It is conceivable that such a huge project would not have been possible to complete in a short period of time without a large number of craftsmen.
The most important time, half a month ago, the scientific research institute finally succeeded in getting the first generation of generators out, it is estimated that it will only take three or five months at most to improve and improve, and Daqin's first hydroelectric power station should be able to come out.
At that time, electricians in all aspects must be trained, after all, the maintenance of power stations and the laying of circuits require a lot of professional electricians.
Once Xianyang is successfully electrified, it also means that Daqin has initially entered the electric age.
And by that time, there will definitely be electric lights, but the first generation of telephones will take a lot of time to develop before they can be made.
But at least, the electric fans, refrigerators, TVs and other household appliances in Zhao Heng's warehouse can finally be taken out and used.
There are also those little e-mules and walkie-talkies, which can also be charged at any time.
"Good news, lord!"
At this moment, Shuang suddenly rushed into the hall with an excited face.
"What's the good news?"
Zhao Heng's eyes lit up slightly and asked.
Although the good news that has been coming out in the past three months has almost numbed him, he is still very willing to hear the word "good news".
"Rifled guns and mini bullets have been developed!"
Shuang hurriedly replied.
Both rifled guns and mini rounds have been developed?
Zhao Heng couldn't help but stand up abruptly when he heard this, and his face showed a look of surprise.
Rifled guns, also known as rifles, have rifling engraved in the barrel, and not only have a much longer range than arquebuses, but also have much higher accuracy.
Although it is not possible to develop a breez-loading rifled gun for the time being, even if it is only a front-loading rifled gun, it is enough to ban ordinary arquebuses and even flintlock guns.
However, the disadvantages of front-loading rifled guns are also more obvious, for example, it is difficult to keep the chamber of the front-loading bullet breath-tight, and the power will be greatly reduced.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Heng will ask the scientific research institute to simultaneously develop Mini bombs to solve this problem perfectly.
It can be said that with the flintlock rifled gun with Mini bullets, it can be called a battlefield harvester.
