"I decided to encourage the people to engage in business and develop commerce, but the roads of Daqin are twisted and twisted, and it is difficult for caravans to transport goods, so I order you to recruit people to organize prisoners, starting from Xianyang, to build roads!" Zhao Cheng said.

The development of business is a shortcut to the rapid development of Daqin, and it is also an industry that must be developed.

But the development of business is not a verbal talk, the first and most important one, that is, to build roads, as the so-called if you want to get rich, you must build roads!

As long as the road is clear, everything can be done, such as marching, you can go all the way to the target unimpeded, speed up the march, and the caravan can quickly transport goods to other places!

"Yes, I don't know how long and wide the road Your Majesty is going to build!" Zuo Yiming arched his hand and asked,

"Start from Xianyang to repair, build the road, each road must be connected to the nearby city, to ensure that people everywhere, can go to the city through the road, the road must be flat, not potholes, the width must reach ten meters, remember, where is the closest, where to repair, can not spare the road, even if the front is a mountain, you have to dig flat!" Zhao Cheng spoke about the standard of the road.

If you want to play, you can play big, build one or two roads, it's better not to repair, if you want to repair, you can repair the whole country together!

Zuo Yiming heard this, and was shocked, my God, every road must be connected to the nearby city, and the width of the road must reach ten meters, and it can't be detoured.

"Don't worry, I will notify the Ordnance Bureau to create extremely lethal explosives to blow up mountains and build roads, I also have a way, and I will give you a treasure later!" In order to reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Cheng decided to come up with something!

"Treasures?" Zuo Yiming was slightly stunned, and began to look forward to it in his heart, and then nodded in response: "After the courtiers, we will arrange the road repair project!" ”

"Where are the officials?" Zhao Cheng opened his mouth and exhaled.

"The minister is here!" Liu Bowen, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and answered.

"In June this year, the imperial examination will be opened, and you will be the chief examiner!"

Great Qin's national strength is thriving, but the officials must also be sufficient, Zhao Cheng is not satisfied with the current territory, the whole world, is the goal of Great Qin!

"Yes!" Liu Bowen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied.

He has also mentioned the matter of the imperial examination many times, and this time His Majesty finally spoke and opened the imperial examination, he was naturally happy!

Children of poor families, if you want to get ahead, you must take the imperial examination!

"All the expenses this time, through the household department is responsible, all departments need, although Li Aiqing gives, but to give a list, a detailed record of who took how much, if someone is found to be embezzling a dime, a penny, I will not be forgiven!" Zhao Cheng said that corruption is here, and the whole person is cold!

Some people may say that if you are greedy for every penny, you will be beheaded, it is too strict, but in fact, although there is very little, as long as the official is greedy once, no matter how big the amount is, he will be greedy next time, this is drugs, greedy once, absolutely unable to control the second time!

"My Emperor Shengming!" The civil and military officials shuddered in unison!

It's too ruthless, I'm afraid this is the most ruthless emperor to officials in all dynasties, beheaded for a penny, it's a tyrant!

But even so, they didn't dare to beep more than half a sentence, and they had to echo it, the majesty of the emperor today is too great, every word he says, no one will allow others to object, no one dares to jump out and sing the opposite, and no one resigns!

This is the real charm of a generation of emperors!

"Retreat!" Wei San shouted in a duck voice!

As soon as they heard this, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted: "Ministers and ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Cheng also gently got up from the dragon chair, walked down the stairs, and left the Chengtian Hall through the back door!

After leaving the Chengtian Palace, Zhao Cheng came to the imperial study and asked Wei San to wait outside.

"System, is there a formula for cement?" Zhao Cheng thought silently in his heart.

"Yes!" The system replied very simply.

"How many exchange points?" Zhao Cheng asked the most important point.

"Ten thousand!" The system replied again.

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng was overjoyed, he now has 700,000 exchange points, and 10,000 exchange points is simply trivial.

Immediately, Zhao Cheng spent 10,000 exchange points to buy the formula of cement.

A piece of parchment appeared in Zhao Cheng's hand in an instant.

Cement is mainly made of limestone and clay as the main raw materials, which are crushed, batched and ground to make raw meal, and then fed into the cement kiln to calcine the mature material, and then the clinker is added to the appropriate amount of gypsum to grind finely.

Then use the prepared cement material, add water, sand, and stone to mix, it is a hard cement floor, which can resist the erosion of salt water and fresh water!

"Xiao Weizi!" Zhao Cheng shouted, and as soon as the words fell, Wei San appeared in front of Zhao Cheng in two seconds.

"Give this parchment to the Ministry of Works, he will naturally know what it is when he sees this!" Zhao Cheng threw the parchment to Wei San and explained slightly.

When Wei San heard this, he nodded slightly, and then quickly ran out of the imperial study and handed over the cement formula to the Ministry of Works!

When the Ministry of Industry Shangshu got the cement formula, his eyes widened!

"Oh my God, there is such a thing in the world, it is really a divine thing, if you use this to build houses and walls, wouldn't it be indestructible!" Zuo Yiming immediately saw other uses for cement.

With this, it will be much easier for Daqin to repair roads, just pave all the way, and the road will be national!

The next day, all the officials of the Ministry of Works went about recruiting laborers, going to the prisoner camps to organize the prisoners, and participating in the great and magnificent road construction plan!

This plan is expected to cost billions of Qin yuan.

I have to say that the merchants of Daqin are still good, they know that the road is built to better allow them to transport goods, and for a while, many accomplished businessmen have donated to the Ministry of Industry, as little as a hundred, as many as thousands or even tens of thousands!

This money is just a drop in the bucket for road construction, but it also indirectly shows that Daqin businessmen are very patriotic!

In this road construction plan, the Ministry of Engineering mobilized 1.2 million people, of which 200,000 were prisoners, and the sentence was the last year.

There is no need to pay a gratuity for 200,000 captives, but a million laborers still have to be paid, three Qin Yuan a month, three million Qin Yuan a month for a million people, and 36 million Qin Yuan a year!

It is definitely a big project that costs money and manpower, and it will be famous in history, and there is no problem at all!

Through this, Zhao Cheng became clear about the importance of captivity!!

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study!

Zhao Cheng now has a map hanging behind him, a map of the world, where did he come from, what he bought, what he never bought, where did he buy the system!
