"So what do I need to do?" Yingyu then asked.

"The next step is for me to enact a railway law. It is stipulated that all the railway owners shall be within 30 zhang on both sides of the railway road. Shang Wen said. In fact, this is to encourage railway builders to build railways on a large scale, and at the same time, they must pass a cash subsidy law. This allows the owner of the railway to issue bonds according to the mileage of the railway, and the state provides subsidies. These policies are very inclined to Yingyu's aspect. It can be said that now he is the prime minister. To a large extent, it provides great convenience for Yingyu.

And in doing so, Shangwen stimulates his huge economic plan. But Yingyu didn't know at all.

Shang Wen did all this according to the practice of the construction of the Pacific Railroad in the United States. Only in this way can the private sector be effectively encouraged to build railways. With the railway, the lifeblood of the country can be completely connected. The places occupied by the Qin army will never be lost.

The Pacific Railroad was joined by two railroad armies, 689 miles east of Sacramento and 1,086 miles west of Omaha, Nebraska, in the Hills of Angles in the Ogden region of Utah. The United States went from being a country that existed only in name to a truly complete country. The U.S. economy began to enter a period of rapid growth. Perhaps, it is the railways that can develop a country to a new peak. The value of the railway, Shang Wen will not be unclear, but he knows too well.

In order to encourage Yingyu to make venture capital, Shangwen also learned the American method of building railroads. At that time, the US Congress was supported by President Lincoln. It was decided to raise funds for road construction by issuing government bonds. In order to open the railroad as soon as possible, the U.S. government enacted a cash subsidy law in the bill, and also stipulated that any company that lays land on both sides of the track will be used for its development. Companies involved in the construction of the Pacific Railroad could acquire more than 5.261 billion acres of land from the government, an area larger than the entire state of Texas, and were granted permission to issue up to 1 million shares with a face value of $100. Since the public debt, land grants and subsidies received by the company were based on the mileage of the railway, the government did not specify the meeting point of the east and west sections of the railway. So both railroads want to speed up construction to get more benefits. And the law promulgated by Shangwen is based on this. There is only one object of inclination, Yingyu.

Railways, not only transport supplies, but also the army can move in quickly, and it doesn't take so much effort. Just like the Qin army's maneuver. In World War I and World War II, the German army also relied on the railway to complete the large-scale build-up again and again. Complete major battles.

The construction of the railway is urgent.

Shang Wen sent Yingyu away and began to draft the legal text. These provisions are readily available. Just use it straight and make some changes.

"My lord, someone is looking for you outside. Say there's a very important invention for you to see. Shouted outside the door.

"Let him in." Shang Wen said.

"The little ones have seen the adults." A man who looked like an attendant in the palace came in and saluted.

"Hurry up. Sit. Shang Wen stood up and greeted.

"This." The squire was still a little embarrassed. Not only had he never seen an adult look at a subordinate like this.

"Sit down. This is the sofa. You'll get used to it. Sit. Sit. As he spoke, Shang Wen got up, poured a glass of water and put it in front of the attendant. This moment, the squire was flattered.

"This, this, my lord. This should be a little ・・・・・," the attendant said with some anxiety.

"Sit down. It's okay. Sit. Shang Wen invited him to sit down.

"Whoa." The attendant sat down nervously.

"What's the matter?" Shangwen asked.

"Oh. Small, come this time. It's for adults to show something. This thing, everyone cares. So, the little ones dare to come here and give it a try. The squire said.

"I'll take a look at something." Shangwen asked.

"The little ones are brought in." With that, the attendant immediately got up. Go out and let someone from outside carry it in.

As soon as I entered the door. Shang Wen jumped up with joy. This is the clock. Mechanized clocks. Although the appearance has eight images, remove that big drum. It's very similar to today's clocks. The dial is engraved with the small seal of the Qin Kingdom, which is the most traditional Chinese method of timekeeping.

Shang Wen was very happy. What's going on today. Drawings of the train were delivered. Then someone brought a clock. Could it be that the time of the great invention has arrived? Shang Wen's heart blossomed.

Shang Wen carefully examined the mechanical clock made by the squire. The structure of the watch is free-anchored, which makes Shangwen happy. Or even applaud. There are many institutions that precede such institutions. For example, the I-wheel escapement, the stationary escapement. And this free-anchor escapement is later than the first two. It can be said that the emergence of such an institution is somewhat ahead of its time. Historically, when this mechanism was adopted, nautical bells appeared. Now it has appeared in advance. Can this not make Shang Wen happy? This is not only used for navigation, but also for making time more accurate. The more accurate the use of time, the more developed the industrial civilization will be.

The appearance of the clock is very significant. It shows that the Qin State has begun to pay attention to machinery. And the mechanical reaction is on human life. The workers of the factories do not look at the heavens. It's time. Time, accurate time.

"Your invention can only be described as great." Shang Wen said happily.

"Your Excellency・・・・・・" The squire did not dare to use the word great.

"Don't be surprised. You use this word. Your name will forever be recorded in the annals of history. Forever. Forever. Shang Wen said historically. The squire didn't expect that he would go down in history.

He was just a drum commander in the palace. That is, the petty officials who manage time. But you have to get up on time every day. He has long been tired of this kind of life. You can't be wrong with timing. So he was very careful. One day, Zhao Gao invited all his colleagues to visit his factory. Since Zhao Gao opened this factory, he has been very attentive, especially about mechanical things, and he cares very much. Zhao Gao is their boss. Naturally, they have to follow suit. As a result, the machines impressed the lazy squire. So, he forgot to sleep and eat to study a machine that could automatically remind the time. It was in this demand that clocks and watches were born. History is such a coincidence.
