In the pre-Qin period, the Qin people called the high slope of the mountain "Han", this title is small, and it is still used today, and "Osaka" is a city built on the high slope of the mountain.

The Wei Plateau started from Kitasaka, forming the first loess plateau, and then gradually advanced to the north, one hill higher than the other, until it became a reckless alpine dense forest, and became a mountainous plateau of Hokuchi and Shanggun.

The first mound is Beihan, forming a huge arc that opens to the south on the north bank of Weishui, Weishui comes from the west, suddenly bends to the northeast at the foot of the Beihan, flows more than 60 miles along the east of the Beihan, and then bends to the southeast along the east hill of the Beihan, and then suddenly folds to the east, and rushes into the big river.

The majestic Kitasaka is like a giant with open arms and embraces Weishui. The Beihan Plateau to the Weishui River is a vast valley about fifty or sixty miles wide. Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin State, was built in the central area of this valley of more than 80 miles from east to west and 50 or 60 miles from north to south.

In 419 BC, the capital was moved from Yongcheng (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi) to Jingyang (northwest of Jingyang, Shaanxi); In 383 BC, the capital was moved from Jingyang to Liyang (now southeast of Fuping, Shaanxi); In 350 BC, the capital was moved from Liyang to Xianyang (now northeast of Xianyang, Shaanxi).

On average, the capital is moved once every 30 years, and such frequent moves can be said to be unique in the pre-Qin era.

However, every time Great Qin moved the capital, it inevitably represented another change in Qin's national strength, and it was also to meet the needs of the growth of Great Qin's national strength.

Xianyang is a new city built from scratch on the north bank of Weishui, and it is also the last capital of Daqin.

So far, Daqin has never moved the national capital, and Daqin destroyed the six countries to unify the world in this capital, and also died in this capital.

When Qin Xiaogong and the Mo family were preparing to build the capital of Xianyang, the reason why he chose Beihan on the north bank of Weishui can be described as thoughtful.

At that time, Great Qin was at war with Wei for many years, and Wei still occupied the Hangu Pass and Huashan Fortress in the east of Great Qin, and there was no danger to defend in the east of Guan.

And this vast valley sandwiched between Beihan and Weishui can be said to be a dangerous place in the Guanzhong Plain.

Even if a strong enemy can break through the Hangu Pass in the east, the Wuguan Pass in the south, or the Dasan Pass in the west, and enter the heart of the pass, this valley with the depth and width of the mountains and rivers can also be completely defended by deploying troops, at least calmly retreating to Beihan, entering the mountain area in the north and maneuvering again.

Xianyang was built for more than 100 years, sitting in the west and facing east (the east gate is the main gate), and has been lying in the huge bay on the north bank of Weishui with its back to Beihan, and the prosperity of the capital of the Great Qin State is also concentrated on the north bank of Weishui.

Of course, at this time, the capital of the Great Qin State was already a big city across the north and south banks of Weishui, and in addition to Shanglin Wan and Afang Palace on the south bank of Weishui, it developed into a new urban area integrating residence, industry and commerce.

After the First Emperor destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he began to build the Six Kingdoms Palace in Beihan to imitate the six destroyed Six Kingdoms, one was to show his martial arts, and the other was to house the six concubines and princesses who were taken back from the Six Kingdoms.

Before the construction of the palace of the Six Kingdoms, the Great Qin Shangfang was already standing on the edge of Beihan.

Daqin Shangfang occupies a narrow strip of land more than ten miles wide and more than twenty miles long in the north of Xianyang. Originally, the Shangfang of Daqin was not so large, but after the First Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms, he gathered craftsmen from all over the world in Xianyang Shangfang, and formed such a scale.

Today's Daqin Shangfang almost includes all the skilled craftsmen in the land of China at that time, with a total number of almost more than 500,000 people, and these large number of skilled craftsmen should have worked in this huge Shangfang cage all their lives until they died of old age.

Shangfang is surrounded by a high wall made of rammed loess that is more than 100 miles long, which is obviously used to prevent the craftsmen from escaping and destroying it, and a battalion of 5,000 soldiers is responsible for guarding it.

Material, brave warrior, intellectual. "Warring States Policy: Eastern Zhou Policy": "Yiyang City is eight miles away, with 100,000 people and several years of Suzhi. Zhang Binglin's "Preface to the > of the < Revolutionary Army": "I thought that it was the precursor of the righteous teacher, and the people had no different aspirations, and the scholars also knew what to return!" ”

It can be seen that the word "caishi" has always been used exclusively for people who are intelligent and brave.

After the Qin State was made a prince by Zhou, it naturally also set up a material battalion, and Zhang Han was once a material officer general. During the period of the first emperor, there were only 20,000 people in the caishi battalion, all of whom were the most brave and warlike soldiers in the whole army.

"Historical Records: Qin Shi Huang Benji": "(Qin II) recruited 50,000 of his talents to guard Xianyang, and ordered him to shoot dogs, horses, birds and beasts. "Originally, in history, the Caishi Battalion was originally a title for the elite soldiers of the Great Qin, but when Zhao Gao went to the end of the Qin Dynasty, he had completely become a thief of chickens and dogs.

The Caishi camp is very famous in the original history, because they were the direct perpetrators of Hu Hai's massacre of the princes and princesses of the first emperor's heirs.

However, at this time, the Caishi battalion was still a representative of an elite army in Great Qin, and it was not ruined by Zhao Gao. The battalion of timber guards Shangfang, which shows the importance that Daqin attaches to Shangfang.

Shangfang, as an official workshop of Daqin, has a very clear division of labor. Of course, it can also be called a factory, because he has already adopted the assembly line production and contract labor responsibility system at this time, but the workers in the factory are unpaid and work for life.

Shangfang is divided into three large pieces of royal use, military and civilian, of course, there is a more detailed division of labor below, the production of royal supplies has gold and silver jewelry, there are crowns and cars, etc.; The same is true of military and civilian warfare, beryllium, swords, crossbows, arrows, pots, bronze mirrors, and so on.

Li Si, as the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, was the highest supervisor of Shangfang; Below are the craftsmen of each workshop, similar to the current factory manager; Below the engineer is the worker, similar to the workshop director; Under the work is the craftsman who works concretely.

Every thing produced by Shangfang, especially the weapon, will have a clear record, and the name of the craftsman is engraved on the weapon, and the name of the craftsman corresponds to each worker and engineer, so that it is easy to find the specific responsible person when a weapon has a problem.

The division of labor is clear and the system is strict.

At this time, Li Si had already stepped down as the supreme supervisor of Shangfang, which was a request made by Hu Hai for Li Si to manage the government, and in the same military Li Si could no longer ask questions from now on, his duty was to manage the government affairs of dozens of counties in Daqin that had not yet fallen into chaos for Hu Hai.

Zhang Han is the successor of Shangfang Xiangbang, but he is only temporarily used by Hu Hai to fill the number, in Hu Hai's heart, Shangfang's Xiangbang must be a person familiar with the production process and craftsmanship to manage, and the people of the Mo family are the best candidates in his heart.

Hu Hai didn't ride a horse today, and when he returned to Xianyang, he rode on a smooth horse for a day, and the place where his buttocks and inner thighs were worn out was not good at the moment, so he still took the small carriage that went to the Bagong that day.

At Hu Hai's strong request, Zhang Han only brought more than 100 forbidden guards around the carriage, plus eight dead guards such as Ying Yi and Long Tian, a total of less than 200 people, and the car arrived in Shangfang.

His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin suddenly came to Shangfang, which immediately made Shangfang jump for a while.

Looking at the dozens of officials whose hats were crooked because of the hurried running, as well as the officials who were constantly rushing from everywhere, Hu Hai frowned and said to Zhang Han: "Go and tell them, leave a few people in charge, and the rest of the people will go back and do what they should do." ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, there was no one left at the gate of Shangfang except for a few officials who were constantly wiping their sweat and were obviously advanced. At this moment, Qu Hou, who commanded the 5,000-person battalion, also hurried to receive the news of the emperor's arrival.

"Your Majesty, King Xiong, greets Your Majesty!"

"Well, I just came to take a look, Wang Aiqing is to protect Shangfang well."

Hu Hai never imagined that he would be able to come to this Great Qin Arsenal, which had countless legends in later generations. The wide gate is very ordinary, and a 10,000-pound boulder at the door is carved with two small seals, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is the word Shangfang.

calmed down the agitated emotions in his heart, Hu Hai raised his feet and walked towards Shangfang, he was a little eager to see this Shangfang. Zhang Han, who was following behind Hu Hai, glanced at Ying Yi and hurriedly followed.

The two of them didn't know why Hu Hai suddenly thought of coming to this Shangfang today.

Entering the gate of Shangfang, it is a wide and straight bluestone avenue leading directly to the depths of Shangfang, and there are countless paths on this bluestone avenue, which lead to tall buildings made of stone like meridians, and it is a workshop.

It was not as Hu Hai imagined, and the entire Shangfang was a huge and fiery factory, in which countless craftsmen cast and polished weapons. Rather, there is a division of labor. There is no one on the bluestone avenue now, except for the occasional "clanging" sound and slogans from the nearby buildings, there is no movement.

It seems that the previous officials knew that they were coming, and recruited all the craftsmen back to the stone workshop.

Hu Hai didn't bother to let the Shangfang officials who followed him introduce him, so he stopped and turned around and asked, "Where is the place for iron smelting and casting?" Is there a pool of cloth dyeing in Shangfang? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the place where the iron is made and cast is in the innermost part of Shangfang, and the place where the cloth is dyed is in front." An elderly official behind him hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Take me to the place where the cloth is dyed first."

"Whoa!"
