Yu He heard my words, and hurriedly said, "I have checked carefully." Sanchuan County now has only 180,000 households, but it has a population of nearly one million, which is normal compared with the nearly 300,000 households in other three counties and five people per household in normal counties. ”

"Hmm." I didn't have any expression, and said lightly: "Do what I said before, and let the other three counties find a way to recover as soon as possible." You tell them that I will not decree this matter, but if it does not improve in two years, it will not be so easy to talk by the time I decree! ”

Yu He's heart was shocked, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, and the ministers will definitely supervise with the imperial history of each county to restore the household registration of the three counties to the real situation." ”

"Stand down."

After Yu He left, I pondered for a long time, and sighed helplessly, the law of development of everything will not be transferred by human will after all.

"Meng He."

Meng He walked in and arched his hand, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

I got up and pulled out the Lulu Sword and waved it in my hand: "If I hand over the Qin King Sword to you, can you hold it in your own hands?" ”

The Lulu sword used to be the king of Qin and is now the symbol of the emperor, and whoever holds it means that he acts on behalf of the emperor and has the power to kill and kill most people.

Meng He hesitated for a moment, and said carefully: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

I inserted the Lulu sword back into its scabbard, sat down and said in a deep voice: "I want you to develop the clean room into an intelligence agency, not just for the emperor's patrols, treason, and special edicts, but to take the initiative to collect information and report it to me!" ”

The clean room is mainly used for the emperor's patrol and covert protection. I have only used it twice to plot treason, once it was a rebellion, and the clean room stopped the white throw in Zhaohua; One time was when Ren Huan rebelled, Nanshan took the initiative to inform me of the details, and this was the only time that the clean room took the initiative to report to me. As for the special edict, it was only used once when I was looking for Lin.

Meng He frowned slightly: "Your Majesty means that you want the clean room to monitor all places, and if there is any abnormality, you will come to the show?" ”

I nodded: "Not only that, but also to spy on those court ministers!" ”

Meng He was shocked in his heart, when I ascended the throne, I made it clear that the clean room was not allowed to interfere in any state affairs, and now even the ministers of the imperial court have to monitor it? But there was no hesitation on his face: "The minister understands, and immediately start to do it!" ”

I stared at him tightly and admonished, "You know the seriousness of this matter, this is more dangerous than the Qin Wang Sword!" Be sure to hold it firmly in your hand and, more importantly, not let people notice. If necessary, go to the extreme! ”

Meng He said in a deep voice: "The minister understands! ”

Looking at Meng He's back, my eyes were sharp. There are lazy people in the front and increased households in the back, since you don't tell me the truth, don't blame me for using extraordinary methods!

Not long after, Qi Wan came over with the written edict, and handed it back to him after the six words "Emperor of Great Qin II" on my book.

Seeing that Qi Juan's face was a little not good, I was concerned: "Qi Juan, you don't look very good, are you okay?" ”

Qi Wan was flattered, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Xie cares, and the minister is fine." It's just that the Imperial Doctor has recently investigated the case, and the minister cooperated with some previous reports, and he checked with the Imperial Doctor late last night. ”

"Just let the people of the Zhongshu Scholar's Mansion do these things, why do you have to go in person."

A smile appeared on Qi Wan's tired face: "Since the incident of intercepting the Jiangnan Supervision Envoy's report, the minister has not dared to let go of the affairs of the mansion too much, and now he often goes to take a look." ”

I nodded, he had never made a mistake in his work, and he won my heart.

"You've been with me for five years, and when the first expedition is over next year, and the right talents are selected, I'll let you go to the county to take up your post. Always following me to do these chores buries your talents. At that time, the Zhongshu Confessor's Mansion can also be handed over to other people. ”

Qi Wan hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The minister has benefited a lot from His Majesty's side, thank you Your Majesty." ”

I smiled and said no more: "Send the edict as soon as possible, they are ready to take some time." ”

After Qi Wan went out, I thought about it, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote down the process of making cement in detail.

Cement is indispensable for the construction of new cities to be the best they can be. At this time, the raw materials for making cement were not too difficult to mine, as long as the limestone and clay were ground into flour, and then calcined into mature materials, and then ground into powder with the slag left over from ironmaking.

Among them, the lime firing technology was already very mature in the Qin Dynasty, and the high-temperature blast furnace has been used very maturely after several years of iron-making and porcelain firing.

A few days ago, I talked about the manufacturing method of large equipment with the public, as long as there are large equipment, the biggest problem of crushing raw materials and grinding powder has also been solved.

All the ingredients for making cement are already in place.

However, plain concrete alone is very easy to crack, and it is not as good as rammed earth roads, so it should be used in conjunction with stone or steel bars. It's just that now steel is a bit stretched thin to make weapons and farm tools, and it must not be extravagant enough to be used to make steel bars to pave roads.

After thinking about it, let's use stones. The Qin Dynasty did not have a "hundred-ton king", it was just a horse-drawn carriage, and the stone and cement were enough to use, and if the ground was compact, there was almost no problem of bending.

In this way, the carriage must be improved simultaneously, and the carriage will use bearings. Although I have improved the waterwheel and large equipment, there is actually a fatal problem, that is, the wooden shaft used in the technology of the Qin Dynasty is still used, not to mention the low efficiency of use, and it is also very easy to be damaged.

If there are ball bearings, the efficiency can be greatly improved. Don't look at the ball bearing that can be bought for a few dollars in modern society, but it has a great role, can improve the carrying capacity of the vehicle, the wheeled power source can be made larger and more durable, and the machine tool that must be manufactured in the future must be used.

The key is to make ball bearings, the premise is to have a machine tool that can be used in the past, NND, closed loop......

It wasn't until the sky was dark and a large number of brain cells were consumed that I improved the prototype of the existing lathe in the Qin Dynasty and combined it with the technology that can be realized now, and also drew a drawing. Let's improve the lathe first, to be precise, the lathe of the Qin Dynasty can only be regarded as having the components of the lathe, which is similar to the reeling car, and it is really not a lathe......

I glanced outside the door, and Meng He hadn't come back yet, so I ordered Qi Wan.

"Qi Xuan, send these drawings to the Jiangzuofu and give them to the public. Tell him that the cement is not in a hurry, just test it first and succeed, and then produce it in large quantities when the new city is built. As for the machine tools, let him study them carefully, and after studying them, he went to Tiewu and made them out of steel. ”

Everything else can be replaced with wood and stone, and the machine tool is not a high-end thing.

"In addition, he asked him to send someone to find the raw materials for making cement, and there must be a lot of cement to be used at that time, so he must prepare enough raw materials in advance."
