Chapter 114: The Super Workshop Encounters a Cold Winter

The snow fell overnight and was a fist thick.

This has little impact on pedestrians in teahouses and taverns.

But for the super workshop that is being built around the soap river, it is a disaster.

And this is only the beginning of the disaster.

Snow means that winter is coming, the temperature will be further reduced, the ground will be further frozen and tight, and the firing of mud bricks will be more difficult.

What's even more serious is that even if these prisoners are used as slaves, they can't pull out their hands in the case of minus ten degrees, let alone start work.

"The Great Law decrees that at most ten days, after ten days, all construction matters outside must be stopped."

"According to the situation in previous years, it will take at least a month and a half to recover, depending on the situation, and it must be until the thaw, otherwise, it can only increase the casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Xiang Rikui replied with great certainty.

He was still very pleased that Yingcheng was able to come quickly after dawn to inspect the super workshop.

But joy is joy, and there are some things he still has to make clear.

Falling snow is not terrible, what is terrible is the cold after the snowfall, which is about to enter the coldest stage of winter.

The frozen ground could not be cut even with a sword, and the prisoners' hands were red and swollen after a moment outside, especially when there were so many cotton clothes for these prisoners to wear.

A bucket of water can be frozen into ice cubes overnight.

In such cold conditions, the quality of construction is even less than the requirements.

At this time, work must be stopped, and only after this time, it will be a little warmer.

Listening to Xiang Likui's hollowing out persuasion, Yingcheng looked at the construction site where seven paper-making workshops had been built, and shook his head with a headache.

This is not half a star short of his expected goal of 50 paper mills.

One fifth of them is not finished!

Ten days, ten days at most, ten more to build, a third of the completion.

The work was stopped for a month and a half, and it was after the beginning of spring, and the entire construction period was to be postponed.

Three months later, it is the time of spring ploughing, and if this month and a half is delayed, the best time for arrangement will be missed.

Spring ploughing is a big deal, this is true for Great Qin, this is true for the nobles, and it is also true for those who are always ready to rebel.

Therefore, no matter how chaotic it is at this time, it is impossible to mess up.

Arrange in such a gap, and when the spring ploughing is over, it can be arranged almost.

And after the end of spring ploughing, there is a long period of free time, watering and weeding and other things do not take much energy, it is the time to go all out.

Before the implementation of the autumn harvest, it is the time to sum up experience, and the autumn harvest will not be delayed.

"Think of a way to overcome it!"

"The matter of the super workshop, it can't be delayed!"

Yingcheng shook his head, although what Xiang Likui said was reasonable, and he knew it.

But.

Legislation is still progressing steadily.

Even if Chun Yuyue is not good, more than 10,000 Confucian students can still encourage him to come to Xianyang.

These two points alone will not stop because of this heavy snowfall.

Once the complete Qin Law was born.

Once more than 10,000 Confucian students appeared in the propaganda compound in the eastern suburbs.

There is not enough paper, and there is a fault line in this huge plan.

"This, the Great Law Order, under such weather conditions, there is really no way to continue to build!"

Xiang Likui still shook his head and said: "Unless we can find the power to restrain heaven and earth and turn from cold to heat, otherwise, this cold alone will not be able to continue to build." ”

"Forget it, you build it first, speed up, I'll figure out the rest!" Yingcheng waved his hand irritably.

The best way is actually there, this day is dry, a fire will be lit in Shanglin Yuan, and the temperature on the side of Afang Palace will naturally rise.

Forget it, though!

It's scary than self-defeat.

Yingcheng was thinking about a way, and Guo Huaiyixun, who was beside him, stepped forward and interrupted:

"Childe, there is news from Li Zhan from the Dalu Mansion that the first version of Qin Law has been established, please go and take a look."

"it!" Yingcheng hammered his head and melon seeds, which was also buzzing.

"It's not good in the morning, it's not good in the evening, but it's good at this time, let's make it!"

Guo Huaiyi also flashed a trace of melancholy, and still asked, "Childe, then who are we now?" ”

Yingcheng waved his hand irritably and said, "Let Li Zhan wait first, I'll arrange things here first!" ”

Guo Huaiyi is now not only in command of the black armor guard, but also like Yingcheng's personal guard and secretary.

Hearing Yingcheng's arrangement, Guo Huaiyi quickly commanded a few times.

"Go, go, speed up the clearing of snow!" Yingcheng told Xiang Likui a few times again, and continued to patrol the super workshop.

For so many days, he has been wandering around the various government offices to arrange, and he can't take care of the affairs of the super workshop.

It's hard to find time, how can I think about a night of blizzards, and I have to delay everything.

Yingcheng is not a person who worries about the future, looking forward and looking backwards, and temporarily suppresses the snow in his heart.

And he continued to follow his rhythm.

The various craftsman groups have been almost settled, and they have all been placed together from the original scattered places, forming a neat courtyard gathering place.

Eating and living are all in it.

This is a must be inspected, and Yingcheng inspected them one by one.

They are all old craftsmen who have worked all their lives, as long as they are properly arranged, there is no big problem.

Build a workshop, build a workshop, you can't build an empty yard, but there is no paper-making and printing tools in it, that's nonsense.

After inspecting the craftsman's room.

Yingcheng entered the paper mill.

So far, eight paper mills have been built.

Driven by three giant water wheels.

The eight paper mills are all independent workshops and do not interfere with each other.

It's a waste of labor and a waste of materials.

But in this way, the production speed can be maximized and every paper mill can be overloaded.

Meantime.

As the scale of the paper mill grows larger and larger, stalls are also opened, and the vicinity of the paper mill that has been officially built has completely prevented anyone from approaching.

And the number of defenders in the black armor is gradually running low.

"Meet the Great Decree!"

As soon as Yingcheng walked into one of the paper mills, the workers inside quickly knelt down to greet him, very excited.

"Busy with you, what the official promised you will never lose, I hope you don't disappoint the official!" Yingcheng raised his hand, repeating this sentence every time he came.

The papermaking technique is simple to operate, and he uses the method of training, using the people in the first workshop to train the second, and the use is very fast.

Papermaking, only when making paper, is a bit difficult, and the rest of the process is a hard work, which can be done by a normal person.

And the more skilled you are, the faster the speed of papermaking, and now the output of the first papermaking workshop has doubled on the first day.

Compared with the eighth papermaking workshop that was officially put into production yesterday, it is clear at a glance, one is flowing and the other is stumbling.

Yingcheng inspected all the papermaking workshops in turn and made serious corrections to the problems in the papermaking.

Until it was corrected to no major problems.

I left the paper mill and came to the printing shop.

The printing workshop has not stopped printing since it began.

Confucius's disciples compiled Confucius's sayings into a book called The Analects, which became a classic work of Confucianism, and many people realized their own way from the Analects.

As for whether the content in it is said by Confucius or not, it does not matter.

Twenty Analects, 100,000 words into a book, is regarded as a treasure book for governing the world, in fact, it is enough.

No doubt.

There's a lot missing from the Analects.

For example, in the Zilu chapter, there is such a sentence missing, "Zi said: Gang, Yi, Mu, Ne, Jinren!" "Again, it doesn't matter.

Mencius wrote the book "Mencius", Xunzi wrote the book "Xunzi", and even Chun Yuyue also had "Shigu" and "Qin Ji".

Leave that behind.

"Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Music", "Spring and Autumn", "Guanzi", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", "Mozi", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Twelve Treatises", "Difficult to Say", "Lonely Anger", "Guiguzi", "Agricultural Book", "Gongsun Longzi", "Warring States Policy", "Zou Zi", "Zou Zi Ending", "Difficult Scripture", "Neijing", ......

To say more, maybe these add up to less than a fraction of a long story in later generations.

If you want to study the truth contained in less than a million words, you can't do it in your lifetime.

This is the legacy of an extremely brilliant era.

Seventy percent of the paper produced by the paper mill goes to the warehouse next to the printing mill where the paper is stored.

The value of paper itself is the value of a piece of grass, just like a grain of grain, which can be discarded like a shoe.

But applying paper to reality in a variety of ways is as precious as a grain of hybrid rice!

Even if there was a vent, the pungent smell of ink still made him very uncomfortable, and he turned around with his 'mask', looked through the bound books, and made sure that there was no problem, and then Yingcheng left the printing shop.

After leaving the printing workshop, Yingcheng continued to inspect the small pipe workshop.

The small tube workshop is the only semi-open workshop, and it doesn't matter if the production method is leaked.

End of the tour.

Yingcheng left the super workshop satisfied.

In any case, he had to keep an eye on the Super Workshop.

And right now.

In front of the Zhenghe Palace.

The First Emperor and Li Si sighed lightly one after another.

"The snow is falling, the cold wind is freezing the bones, and the counties are ordered to curl up for the winter!"

The First Emperor sighed lightly, staring at the vast heaven and earth and sighing from the bottom of his heart.

The whole Daqin began from the beginning of spring, before the cold winter, everywhere was being built, the world water conservancy, straight roads, cities, palaces......

And now, with the spread of this sentence, it means that all construction matters in the world will be stopped.

Li Si and the three of them also nodded, the time was like this, and there was nothing to do.

At this time, it is also the most idle time for them, because there is nothing in the world, even if they rebel, no one will choose to rebel at this time.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers in other places are not worried, but where is the Great Law Order, the Great Law Order went to the Super Workshop this morning, and he hasn't come back yet!"

"For the sake of this super workshop, Da Liling can do everything, even if it is Chu Xiao, Xiang Likui has rich experience in construction, but it is impossible to complete the construction of a radius of ten miles in a short time."

"And paper is the top priority of the next strategic world!"

Li Si paused slightly, and couldn't help but say.

The heavy snow also worried him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the world has been stagnant for a month.

The same can be true.

The longer the timeline is drawn, the more likely it is to leave the enemy with a chance to prepare.

"He didn't go to sleep and hasn't come back yet?" Hearing this, the First Emperor couldn't help frowning.

Last night, he almost listened to Yingcheng talk about governing the country all night, Yingcheng left before dawn, and after leaving, he slept in the Zhenghe Palace until noon before waking up, and then summoned Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi to continue the discussion.

He also thought that Yingcheng should also go back to sleep.

I didn't expect to go to the super workshop again.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is really very curious about the super workshop, and sent people to keep an eye on it all day, and the people who are watching it have seen it with their own eyes at dawn in the morning, the great law order entered the super workshop with the black armor guard, and before the old minister entered the palace to see His Majesty, he did not come back."

Li Si replied truthfully.

"This bastard, is he dead?"

"I haven't rested much in the past few days, I only slept for a long time yesterday, I didn't sleep all night, and I went to the super workshop again."

The First Emperor frowned and reprimanded: "With me, my Qin State has not yet fallen to the point where a big child is busy with everything. ”

"Zhao Gao, go, pass on my will, let Yingcheng go back to sleep."

Li Si listened to the order of the First Emperor, and was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will let the Great Law Order rest, and the Great Law Order may not go to rest!" ”

"Last night, Li Zhan presided over many legislators overnight to revise the first version of the new Qin Law, and Li Zhan went to find the Great Law and let the Great Law Order pass it."

"The Great Law Order sent a message to Li Zhan to wait first, and Li Zhan came to the three ministers to consult, this legislation, to be honest, the old ministers are also half-understood, if they are directly involved, it may be inappropriate, so they did not judge their opinions, and then His Majesty summoned him, and the ministers rushed over from the Great Law Mansion."

The First Emperor's brows tightened, and he said angrily: "Is there no one in my Qin country?" ”

"Let Li Zhan send the new Qin Law to the Zhenghe Palace."

Saying that, the First Emperor turned around very angrily and was about to return to the Zhenghe Palace.

It's infuriating.

It's also too puzzling.

Although the Qin State was not as prosperous in literature as Linzi, the governance ability of the Qin State was not comparable to that of Linzi.

But look at the court up and down, only Yingcheng is busy before and after.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that Yingcheng was a coward, as if there was a beast chasing after him, and he had to rush to everything.

I was very depressed.

I was also moved by compassion, feeling that Yingcheng was tired for so many days, after all, he was only such a young child, and he was busy with his feet on the ground, what if he was tired and his body was broken.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Li Si and the three hurriedly surrendered their hands.

I was about to go inside.

But it was a miserable scream.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black official mansion with an order embroidered on his chest crying from afar and rushing over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wechen is panicking, Wechen has something to do, please make a decision!"

"If Your Majesty is accurate, Weichen will never say more than half a word, and the implementation will be."

"If Your Majesty doesn't allow it, even if the Great Law orders Wei Chen to be hung up and beaten violently, Wei Chen will never complain!"

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of Weichen!"

Xianyang Ling, the inner is in charge, and Feng Shijie, who is in charge of the hundred and ten miles around Xianyang City, wailed all the way to the Zhenghe Palace.
