After knowing that Dongying has a treasure mountain, after returning to the palace, Yingzheng asked people to study the warship, and after cleaning up the Xiongnu tribes, the next goal is to clean up Dongying first.

The warship had been studying it before, and Ying Zheng also attached great importance to it, but now, he paid more attention to it.

On the second day, Zhang Liang came up with a written plan for the establishment of the Weapons Research Department.

The public loser studied the movement of gunpowder, and Yingzheng also said it directly at the court meeting, and they all knew the power of gunpowder.

The proposal of the Weapons Research Department surprised everyone.

The people in the court all looked at Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang had always followed His Royal Highness the Prince, and when he brought it up, it must have been His Royal Highness the Prince's intention.

"Your Majesty, now that you want to attack the Xiongnu, the treasury must support the operation of the entire Great Qin, and then set up a weapons research department, and the imperial court will provide research materials, etc., Your Majesty, this plan is not appropriate." Zhou Yan stood up again.

The newly established departments were obviously made for the sake of the craftsmen of the public losers, but they were nothing more than craftsmen, and when they were erected, they would certainly threaten the interests of their nobles.

Now the status of the nobility of Great Qin is not as good as before, especially since the beginning of the land reform, not only the status of the head of Qian, but also the status of the merchant has been greatly improved.

Now that the craftsman is about to rise again, the craftsman is just a ninth-rate existence in their eyes, and even the craftsman has to sit on an equal footing with them, so it's strange that he can be happy in his heart.

Since Guan Zhong put forward the theory of the division of labor among the four people, the people in the world have been divided into four types: Shinong, Industry and Commerce, and the status of craftsmen has been lowered a lot.

The scholar class, which belongs to the top of society, has enjoyed so many years of popularity, and now the status of Qiantou, merchants, and even craftsmen has been greatly improved, and the rights and interests of the nobility have also been weakened, and the gap can be imagined.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the research of weapons is their own business, and the establishment of a special department is completely increasing the burden on the imperial court." One of the old Qin nobles also stepped forward.

The status of these old Qin nobles is also much worse than before, and after Zhao Qingrui came back, none of the policies she promulgated were beneficial to these nobles, but greatly damaged their interests.

Zhao Qingrui became the prince, and they were against it in their hearts, not only because she was a woman, but also because she did not seek benefits for them.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, Daqin is now in chaos, and the nobles and nobles are not distinguished, this move will definitely encourage the arrogance of those ninth-rated."

Ying Zheng looked at it indifferently and didn't hurry to speak, these people who opposed it were all aristocrats.

Gong Yu glared angrily at these people, and when Zhang Liang proposed to set up a weapons research department, he was very excited, and Zhang Liang said these words, which must have been the intention of His Royal Highness the Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking about these people, and he is grateful.

But these people actually belittle their public losers so much, it is too much, and the public losers secretly gritted their teeth, and when they turn around, they will definitely make some stumbling blocks for them when they find an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is also thinking about the future of Great Qin, and the army needs more powerful weapons, and this move is also for the foundation of Great Qin." For the first time, Su Ling took the initiative to stand up and help speak.

He is not interested in weapon research, but the establishment of this department is very necessary, if Daqin has powerful weapons, so whether it is to conquer the Xiongnu or to defend Daqin, it will be very useful.

Su Ling stood up, and the public loser was surprised, the relationship between the public loser and the Mo family, Xianyang is known to everyone, but he didn't expect him to stand up and speak for them.

Just because Su Ling spoke for them this time, he would definitely talk to the people in the family when he went back, and try not to target the Mo family in the future.

"Your Majesty, the minister also feels that it is necessary for the Weapons Research Department to exist, my Great Qin needs powerful weapons, and the people of the public loser are willing to die for the stability of Great Qin." The public loses Yu Dayi and said awe-inspiringly.

"Li Qing, Feng Qing, what do you two think about this matter?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and Feng Quji.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the Weapons Research Department must be included in the imperial court, such a powerful weapon as gunpowder, other craftsmen should not study it at will, otherwise this will have a great hidden danger to the stability of Great Qin." Feng Quji said respectfully.

He also went to see the situation of the public loser, such a powerful weapon can directly kill two people, this is still a situation where there are few people there, if there are many people, I don't know how many will be killed.

Such a weapon is too foul compared to the existing weapons of Great Qin, if it is not controlled and these things are allowed to spread among the people, doesn't this provide an opportunity for turmoil for those remnants of the Six Kingdoms and people with ulterior motives.

If this is the case, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Feng Xiang said, if these weapons are overflowing and the threat is great, the establishment of a special department can not only reduce this threat, but also benefit the development of Great Qin's weapons." Li Si bowed and said, such a powerful thing must be in the hands of the imperial court.

After he and Feng Qujian went to the public loser yesterday, he had been thinking about how to solve this matter, but he didn't expect Zhang Liang to provide such a good way.

"Where's the prince?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui.

"Father, the sons also feel that it is time to set up a weapon research department, my Great Qin wants to become strong, not only by relying on bows and crossbows and swords, but also by constantly innovating weapons in order to ensure the rule of Great Qin." Zhao Qingrui said respectfully.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, does this mean that you want to start a war on a large scale?" Zhou Yan said dissatisfiedly.

"I, Daqin, have only settled down now, and I have waged a war on a large scale, which also has a great impact on the head of Qian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dedicated to the people, is this just for the sake of fame?"

"What did Lord Zhou mean, shouldn't you study those weapons?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhou Yan coldly, this guy didn't go against her, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, right?

"Since that's the case, these weapons are too terrifying and should be banned in the entire Great Qin." Zhou Yan looked like a matter of course.

Ying Zheng's face was even colder, Great Qin unified the six countries, he called the first emperor, and it was not bad to say that he was the founding emperor, he knew better than anyone that there was no sword and no sword, these are two completely different concepts.

With the existence of these powerful weapons, even if the descendants are mediocre, the rule of Great Qin can still continue.

In his heart, he also agreed with the establishment of this weapon research department, only if the weapon was strong enough, could Great Qin be stable and not afraid of the threat of any nobles.

Seeing His Majesty's increasingly cold face, and even holding his hand on the hilt of Tai'a Sword, many people couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

"Lord Zhou's words are really ridiculous, Lord Zhou only sees the horror of this thing, as long as it is used in the right place, anything is valuable, is it that this gunpowder threatens Lord Zhou?" The corners of Zhao Qingrui's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm.
