"Return to Your Majesty, it's the chicken soup stewed by Wei Chen."
Chen Qing replied solemnly: "A few days ago, I ordered people to go into the mountains to search for mines, and accidentally harvested a high-grade goblin."
"It's getting dark at this time, and my minister thinks that His Majesty is devoting himself to state affairs and taking care of all kinds of opportunities, so I specially brought it here to replenish His Majesty's health."
Ying Zheng looked at him playfully.
If others say this, you can still believe it.
Chen Qing?
Pull it down!
"It's time for Mrs. Lao Aiqing."
Ying Zheng sniffed, "It's quite fragrant."
"Order someone to fetch the bowls and chopsticks. Since Chen Qing has good intentions, you must not let him down."
The maids in the palace quickly brought the tableware.
Wang Jian is old, and Meng Yi is a civil servant who does not work hard.
The two spent a long time discussing state affairs with the first emperor, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger after smelling the smell of chicken soup.
"Is this the goblin?"
Meng Yi hated Chen Qing for stealing his elder brother's head, so he picked up a slice of Polygonum multiflorum with chopsticks and looked at it carefully, showing doubts on his face.
"Commander Zhao, have you checked it?"
He turned his head to look at Zhao Chong who was standing aside.
"Reporting to Meng Shangqing, Chen Qing has already eaten a bowl at home, so the villain has nothing to do."
Zhao Chong said calmly.
Ying Zheng, Wang Jian, and Fu Su raised their heads at the same time, with different expressions.
"Report to Your Majesty."
"Weichen didn't know if goblin stewed chicken would work, so he had a taste first."
"The effect...is not bad."
When Chen Qing came in, his face was very rosy.
At this time, the eyes are shining brightly, and the spirit is particularly vigorous.
You are numb!
Could it be that the savages were really right?
What to eat to make up for what!
What's the matter with the evil fire in my heart?
His eyes could not help but slip to the maid standing at the door, her graceful figure and gentle appearance seemed particularly moving.
"Your Majesty's body is full of gold, for safety's sake, please use it with caution, Your Majesty."
Chen Qing secretly complained, but don't give the emperor and his father any good or bad.
"It's fine."
"I believe that Chen Qing will definitely not have the intention to do harm."
Before Ying Zheng could speak, Fu Su took two sips and nodded in satisfaction.
That being the case, he relaxed his mind.
Anyway, he is his son-in-law, not an outsider.
Besides, Chen Qing has always acted recklessly, and such actions are not out of line.
Everyone in the room drank the chicken soup.
When Chen Qing arrived, he wrapped the earthenware pot with thick sackcloth. At this time, the chicken soup was at a suitable temperature, and it tasted delicious and warmed up.
Although Meng Yi had grudges in his heart, he couldn't help the glutton in his stomach. He drank up the chicken soup in two or three mouthfuls, and then picked up another piece of chicken and gnawed on it.
After eating, Ying Zheng looked a little better.
"Chen Qing, you just said that you sent people into the mountains to search for mines, but did you find them?"
He asked casually.
"found it."
Chen Qing nodded solemnly: "This minister has found something very important."
"With it, combined with gunpowder, from now on, Daqin's east, west, north, south, high mountains and deep valleys are all smooth roads."
"Thousands and eight hundred miles, morning and evening."
"Even the most remote borders can be reached within ten days by traveling day and night."
"and……"
Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng threw away the chicken breast in his hand.
"Tell me in detail, what is so magical?"
"Can it really do what you say it does?"
What restricted the territory of the Great Qin Empire was not the force of the army, nor the prestige and authority of the first emperor, but the transportation of food and supplies for the army.
Meng Tian conquered the Xiongnu, won consecutive battles, and opened up land for [-] miles, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to go south.
But it is only eight hundred miles away.
Further north is a desolate grassland. If you want to transport the grain and grass there, at least [-]% of the [-]% will be lost!
The Great Qin conquered Baiyue three times and spent countless money and food. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were recruited just to dig the Lingqu, and the price paid was shocking.
Yingzheng dreamed of expanding Daqin's territory to the end of the world, but he was secretly worried about the logistics supply issue.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qing quietly gave a solution!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wei Chen have designated Lei Huo Division, surrounded by mountains and forests."
"The troops sent by Weichen found a mountain peak in the mountains. The whole body is made of limestone and weighs hundreds of millions of catties."
"After the limestone is mixed with coal and calcined...and some auxiliary materials are added to it, it can be made into cement."
Chen Qing couldn't remember the cement formula, but that didn't matter.
Crane Immortal Weng and Lu Immortal Weng have more than [-] resentful alchemists under their command, each of them is eager to make meritorious service.
It shouldn't be difficult for them to fiddle with a cement formula.
"What is cement?"
Fusu asked curiously.
Chen Qing said with a smile: "The calcined cement is in the form of powder, just like dust. But after adding water and mixing it and drying it for a few days, it will turn into a limestone-like appearance again."
"Can Your Highness understand?"
"Before hardening, it is like a soft muddy mud, which can be adjusted in shape at will."
"After it hardens, it will be exactly the same as the stone again, even harder than it."
Yingzheng's thoughts turned, and he had already figured out the use of cement: "This material can make roads extremely smooth and strong. It lasts for a long time and requires no maintenance. You just said that the limestone found is worth hundreds of millions of catties?"
He couldn't help raising his voice, and his tone seemed very excited.
Hundreds of millions of catties!
How much would that be!
I don't know if it's enough to repave all the straight roads and straight roads all over the world.
"Your Majesty, this item is not rare."
"Weichen just sent people to search for one or two, and found a limestone mountain range."
"Great Qin has a vast territory, so there are as many of these things as you want."
"There is no shortage of coal near Xianyang. As long as the construction speed of the hydraulic mill can keep up, the ore will be crushed and calcined to be the finished product."
"I think the output must be very gratifying."
Chen Qing said confidently.
"it is good!"
Ying Zheng stood up excitedly and paced excitedly.
"This is an unworldly feat!"
"Chen Qing, as long as you can make cement, I will..."
Having said that, he suddenly stopped.
Just now in front of the courtiers, I have already said that I want to give Shiman to Chen Qing.
Even the daughter is married, what else is there to reward?
"Chen Qing, take a look at the good news from the North."
Emperor Shihuang suppressed his excitement and gave Fusu a wink.
"Look, sir."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Chen Qing picked it up and browsed through it, and even guessed and figured out the meaning.
Ying Zheng said with his hands behind his back: "The power of gunpowder is shocking to the world, and the barbarians of the Huns are vulnerable in front of it. I am very comforted."
"Chen Qingjin's offering of gunpowder should take the lead."
"The little girl Shiman is only twenty-eight years old, and she is waiting in her boudoir."
"I don't know how to betroth her to you, are you willing?"
Chen Qing's face was full of red: "My minister is willing."
Lu Xun said: When you see short sleeves, you immediately think of white arms, and immediately think of...
Chen Qing's state at the moment is similar.
As soon as Ying Shiman is mentioned, I immediately think of her slender and straight legs, think of her coquettish and angry appearance, and think of her melodious and charming melody.
So I agreed with great joy.
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment.
Chen Qing's appearance did not seem to be fake at all, and there was undisguised longing in his eyes, making a 180-degree turn from the previous attitude of resolute resistance.
"Chen Qing, do you really mean what you say?"
"Naturally it is sincere."
Chen Qing patted his chest and thought to himself: Kun'er can testify for me, send Ying Shiman to my room now, and you will be a grandfather in ten months.
The hidden worries in Ying Zheng's heart were gone, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Whether it was true or false, at least Chen Qing's performance made him very satisfied.
"Chen Qing."
"Thinking of the power of gunpowder, the wits will marry Shiman to you."
"When the cement is developed, there will be other rewards."
"I don't know what you want?"
Ying Zheng said generously: "Anything owned by the internal treasury is valid for everyone."
Chen Qing shook his head like a rattle, "It is already a great honor for me to marry Princess Shiman, I dare not expect more."
Fusu showed a relieved smile.
First of all, if it was the same in the past as it is today, how could it make the emperor angry again and again?
"You go back first."
