Before I could do anything to the people who participated in the uprising at the end of Qin, the matter of Yingzheng's burial had already made me anxious, and I had no choice but to wait for my hands to be freed up to deal with it.

In the early spring, Yingzheng was buried in Lishan, and the Lishan Mausoleum was topped out soon after. The people who built the Lishan Mausoleum, excluding the prisoners and slaves, all the remaining 200,000 people were released back to the counties.

At the court meeting before the spring equinox, Li Si made a special report on this matter.

Li Si bowed to me and said, "Your Majesty, now that the revised "Laws of the Confession" has been fully implemented, the work of the Afang Palace has been suspended in the winter month, and all 200,000 people have returned home; The construction of the straight road has stopped some of the unimportant routes, and the straight road between the counties and between the counties and Xianyang has been halved according to His Majesty's request; The capping of the Lishan Mausoleum was completed today, and all the people have been released; The rest of the works were also halted or slowed down at the request of His Majesty. ”

"However, in addition to the people who have stopped serving, there are still craftsmen in charge of the project, prisoners, and slaves who cannot be placed for the time being, so I ask Your Majesty to show me."

Hearing Li Si's words, I opened my mouth and asked, "How did this matter react in Daqin?" ”

Li Si replied: "Your Majesty's benevolent heart is widely praised by the people of the world, when the minister announced the emperor's edict to release the people who served to go home, many people looked at Xianyang from afar to salute Your Majesty, and shouted 'Your Majesty ten thousand years'. ”

Hearing Li Si's words, I felt a little relieved, at least it played a role in stabilizing the people's hearts. Now is the time to find a way to increase the population and encourage farming.

Thinking of this, I said, "As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will have a little peace of mind." ”

"How to settle the craftsmen, prisoners, and slaves that the prime minister said, Bai Chong, you were the right commander in charge of the construction of Afang Palace before, and now you have been promoted to the post of Shaofu, what do you think?"

Bai Chong immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the prisoners and slaves be sent to Yunzhong County and the land of Baiyue, on the one hand, it can replace the people who are building the Great Wall and the people who are cultivating Baiyue, and on the other hand, it can also solve their resettlement problems; As for the craftsman, the minister suggested that he should also be dismissed and returned to his home to farm, I wonder what His Majesty wants? ”

I nodded, "Yes." However, for those craftsmen, I have an idea, Daqin can set up a Jiangzuo Mansion, put it under your control, and place these craftsmen in the Jiangzuo Mansion. ”

"I often have some ideas, which must be of some benefit to my Great Qin, and these people can turn my ideas into reality. In addition, the officials who will be the government have already looked for a good job, so they let the craftsmen of Lishan enter the order for the Lord and He Xian. I wonder what you think? ”

Feng Qu quickly got up and said: "The minister thinks it is very good, Your Majesty has previously developed pulleys, horseshoes, etc., which have played a great role in the construction of our Great Qin and cavalry, and now the horseshoes have not yet been popularized, but the effect has been seen in the army, and the pulleys have been popularized all over the world, and the ministers agree with Your Majesty's proposal." ”

Naturally, the rest of the people had no reason to object. Only Uncle Sun Tong stood up and gave me eye medicine again, which is nothing more than the king's diligence and should not indulge in strange tricks and tricks, which made my head big for a while, and I really don't know whether it was right or wrong to let him enter the court.

"In addition, Lees, you have to organize those prisoners and slaves to reclaim wasteland, and don't directly give them ready-made arable land. Cultivated wasteland can be exempted from taxes for the first two years, and the government can also lease them farm tools with monthly interest. ”

Li Si took the order and said yes.

Subsequently, I proposed that the 24 solar terms be officially included in the calendar, and that all future calendar promulgation should be accompanied by the 24 solar terms. Although the 24 solar terms have appeared at this time, they have not yet been systematically popularized to farmers, you know, it has been passed down for thousands of years and can become an intangible cultural heritage, and the importance of the 24 solar terms to agriculture is self-evident.

Bai Chong's movements were very fast, and in less than half a month, he gathered the released craftsmen to the Jiangzuo Mansion. As soon as I reported to me, I went to the shosakufu, after all, some things take time to make, and now I urgently need to develop productivity.

The Jiangzuo Mansion is not very far from the Xianyang Palace, and in order to fulfill the promise of reducing the forced labor, the Jiangzuo Mansion was not built alone, but the original abandoned government office was simply repaired, and these people moved in.

When they saw me coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Seeing He Xian and Gong lose these two acquaintances, I smiled slightly: "You don't have to be polite. ”

Then everyone gathered in the hall, and I looked at the more than 30 people in front of me, and the hope for the development of productive forces was in them, even if I had sufficient knowledge, I had to rely on their craftsmanship to achieve it.

I took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Presumably Bai Chong has already told you what I think, and I hope that you can do your best, give full play to your strengths, and contribute to Daqin and the people." ”

Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to serve Great Qin." ”

I turned my head and asked the public in: "The public in, can the division of labor in the government be divided?" ”

Gong Yijin hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, all the craftsmen from all over the world have just arrived in Xianyang today, and the ministers haven't had time to think about these things yet. ”

I nodded, although the division of labor among the various departments of the Qin Dynasty was already very clear, this newly established official office should divide labor according to my ideas to ensure that these people can do their jobs.

I said, "In that case, I will do a good job of dividing the work for you." The house should be divided into the following workshops: ordnance workshop, agricultural machinery workshop, engineering machinery workshop, equipment workshop, inspection workshop, Guangtui workshop, and good manufacturing workshop. ”

"As the name suggests, the main production of ordnance in the ordnance workshop, the main production of agricultural machinery in the agricultural machinery workshop, the main production of agricultural tools in the industrial machinery workshop, and the production of utensils in daily use in the equipment workshop;"

"The inspection workshop is used to test whether the tools produced are durable, whether they can be promoted on a large scale, etc., and to write production standards for the tools that have passed the test for the first time and through the test, and then hand them over to each workshop to make them according to the standards, and conduct spot checks for the tools produced, and find that the tools that do not meet the standards are eliminated and reworked, and there is a high probability of problematic rework;"

In addition to promoting through the government, you can also cooperate with businessmen in remote places where the government is inconvenient to promote, let businessmen help promote, and give the cooperative businessmen the right to sell agricultural tools within a certain range after charging a fee, and resort to the local government for conviction for unauthorized sales and imitations;"

"The main task of the workshop is to research new tools, and in addition to the ideas I have given, the workshop also has to develop some new tools by itself."

Immediately afterwards, I explained to everyone the assembly line operation method, although there is no mechanical assistance from later generations, but it can also greatly improve efficiency.

The crowd also needs time to digest.

I took out the prepared saddles, horseshoes, curved ploughs, paper, movable type printing and other utensils and instructions and handed them to the public, and admonished: "There will be a lot of people engaged in production in the follow-up Zuofu Association, and the drawings I handed over to you have taken a lot of energy. I will let and send a forbidden army to serve as the guard of the general's mansion, and if something happens, you can go directly to the palace to meet me. ”

Gong Yijin hurriedly nodded yes.
