Shusun Tong sat down with a happy face.

Zhang Han thought for a while, got up and suggested: "Your Majesty, there are 100 schools of science and the Great Qin Academy of Science in today's text, but the martial arts are only the Great Qin Military Mansion, and they are also selected from the army. ”

The generals in the hall immediately became excited when they heard this.

I frowned slightly, why did the atmosphere seem to be something wrong today? The generals seem to be intent on showing themselves?

After thinking for a while, I said slowly: "It's a solution, but this matter still needs to be carefully discussed, and I will consider it after the matter of the School Palace is over." ”

The generals immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

After revealing this matter for the time being, I looked at Sima Li: "Sima Li, Kaqu will return to the Western Regions in the next few days, and you will select a group of capable officials and go to the Western Regions with him." ”

Sima Li grew up quickly after passing through the Panyu Port, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty hopes to implement the Great Qin Monetary System as soon as possible?" ”

"Not bad. The most important thing in the monetary system is the exchange rate, first send people to Western countries to work out the exchange rate, and publicize it widely, and gradually let them accept Daqin's monetary policy through commerce. ”

"Obey orders!"

"Yu Jin."

"The minister is here."

Seeing that Yu Jin was still immersed in the excitement of the Daqin Science Research Institute, I said helplessly: "Now that the construction of the Shangdang Iron Smelting Mansion has been completed, have the crude iron appliances of the Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion been moved?" ”

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, the joy on his face gradually converged, and he said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty ......"

"Huh?" I frowned and said, "Say! ”

Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion originally planned to transfer the functions of crude iron tools and ore smelting to the Shangdang Iron Smelting Mansion after the Great Dynasty Meeting, but there are many iron smelting families in the Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion...... Well, there's a lot of obstruction. ”

"Tetsugo! What's going on? ”

I looked at Tiewu with a gloomy face, because the affairs of the Iron Smelting Mansion involved muskets, artillery, etc., so the part that was divided and moved to the Shangdang Smelting Iron Mansion was handed over to Yu Jin, and the Shangdang was far away from Xianyang, and the things that were often used in the Zuofu were still left to Nanyang.

Tie Wu hurriedly got up and said in fear: "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, it is not an obstruction, the Nanyang Iron Smelting Family, especially the Cheng and Zhuo families, has the most output. Now that His Majesty has added the Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion and the Shangdang Iron Smelting Mansion, the two families have asked the ministers for a period of grace to let them dispose of all iron smelting affairs and no longer participate in iron smelting in the future. The minister wants to pay a detailed tribute to His Majesty after the meeting, and ask Your Majesty to surrender his guilt! ”

Hearing Tetsugo's words, I pondered for a moment.

When Sima Li came back from Panyu Port, he didn't say so much, I only knew that Cheng Zhuo's two families joined forces to buy a ship, but I didn't know the hidden secret.

At the beginning, the Iron Smelting Mansion was established only to increase the production of steel, but the situation of these iron smelting families was ignored.

After thinking for a while, I spoke: "The iron-smelting family has made great contributions to my Great Qin, and now there is no soil for them to survive, but I think that they have provided many iron tools for Great Qin, and passed on my life, all the industries of the iron-smelting family involving iron-smelting will be received by the imperial court at market price, and the previous sharing will be terminated." ”

Everyone was stunned, and they called themselves too young, or Your Majesty's cruel methods! A buyout and a steady stream, it is self-evident which imperial court has more profits.

Looking at everyone's expressions, I felt that they were a little unkind, so I continued: "In addition, pick a place in Nanhai County and reward them with a hundred acres of land, which can be negotiated and cultivated." ”

Although Nanhai County is still barren land now, when shipping really develops, it may be difficult to buy a piece of land there, and I believe they can see the benefits and disadvantages.

Moreover, let them help the rapid development of Panyu Port in the past, which is a double win.

"Your Majesty of the Nanyang Iron Smelting Family!"

I waved my hand and ordered: "Now that the matter is settled, as soon as possible, most of the functions of the Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion will be transferred to the Shangdang Iron Mansion, which focuses on the manufacture of rolled steel, fine parts, springs, bearings, lathes, etc., and makes every effort to provide special steel for steam engines, Daifuku ships, and muskets!" ”

"Obey orders!"

"If you want to get rich, build roads first." I looked at Li Si: "Li Xiang, from the eleventh year onwards, the imperial court will spend two-tenths of the tax revenue every year for road construction and sea transportation!" ”

Li Si was surprised: "Your Majesty, although there has been six years of grain in Taicang, two-tenths of it is used to repair roads every year, is it too much?" ”

I shook my head: "It's not much at all, the roads I want to build include not only ordinary roads, but also cement roads and railways, do you think there are too many?" ”

Liston was speechless, but the section of the Guanluo Railway had just been built to Lixian, and he didn't know how much grain it had spent, and two-tenths was really not much.

I explained: "With smooth roads, not only can commerce and trade develop rapidly, but there is no doubt about the role of agriculture. First of all, whether it is grain trading or tax revenue warehouses, the loss on the road will be greatly reduced. Secondly, the roads are clear, and many new farm tools, planting methods, etc., can be obtained more quickly.

In addition, Great Qin's current territory worries me a lot! ”

Facing everyone's incomprehension, I said in a deep voice: "There are forty-eight counties in the old land of Great Qin, and the new land has reached twenty-nine counties!" Coupled with the five counties of Huqidi, the Qinnan Peninsula, the Qindong Island, and the forty-nine countries of the Western Regions, which have not yet been divided into counties, don't you feel worried? ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and Feng Zheng echoed: "Your Majesty is wise! In such a vast new land, once there are any unstable factors, whether the Qin army can quickly go to suppress it depends on whether the road is smooth, and even the Hexi Road has not yet been built, so it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the construction of the road. ”

I nodded and said, "So, the road must be repaired!" If the road is not smooth, what can Great Qin do if he owns the entire earth? Is it really in control? This is the most important reason why I stopped fighting! If you can't do actual control, the more land that Great Qin has, the more dangerous it is, and a small turmoil may cause a chain reaction, I would rather not have such a land! ”

At this time, even those generals had nothing to say, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

"Good. Li Xiang, this matter should be done as soon as possible; in addition to spending two-tenths of the tax revenue every year to build roads, it is also necessary to further improve the conditions for conscription, supplemented by the recruitment system, and focus on planning the roads in the Western Regions, the 16 counties of the grassland, Wangxian County, and Sanhai County, among which the roads from Xianyang to the two iron smelting mansions, Langya Port, Panyu Port, and the Western Regions should be planned and paved with cement roads, and the railway association will make a decision after discussing with Yujin. ”

I glanced at the monarchs in the palace and said in a deep voice: "In three years, I want Great Qin to achieve earth-shaking changes!" ”

With my loud voice falling, the real development of Daqin has just begun!
