Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

Meng Yi hissed, unexpectedly, the princess who lived deep in the harem was not bad at all.

The first emperor preferred to do things quickly, but it was officials and common people like them who suffered hardships.

If he expected it right, the job of supervising the construction of the mill would eventually have to be handed over to him.

It took so much effort just to make statistical records, how will it be paid off when it is actually put into practice?

"It's easy."

Chen Qing said bluntly: "Remember what I said just now? We must catch the big and let go of the small."

His eyes could not help but linger on Ying Shiman for a moment.

She really deserves to be a royal princess, she does not lack nutrition.

Not very old, but the place where he should grow is not small at all.

Fortunately, before Ying Shiman noticed, Chen Qing looked away in time.

"If I think about it, I don't even need to do that useless work to count the household registers."

"In Xianyang City, there are merchants who sell goods along the river, or those who are familiar with geography and have extensive knowledge. Invite them to ask a question or two."

"In the important counties and counties on both sides of the river and the river, set up pilot projects and build mills."

"Part of the required materials are collected locally, and precision parts such as gears are transported downstream by boats along the river."

"Although the river is long, we only need to design the nodes to benefit most of the people along the coast."

Chen Qing poked out dots on both sides of the river on the map, representing the location of the water mill.

"In this way, it will only take a month or two at most for the project to start smoothly."

"In another three to five months, the reputation of the water mill must have spread in the counties and counties along the river."

"The imperial court only needs to issue a decree, so that all regions can submit letters. Anyone who has conditions and water power can apply for construction."

"Meng Shangqing can send people to various places to investigate. If the situation is true, it will be registered in the register and send people to assist."

"It is estimated that in about half a year, hydraulic mills will spring up everywhere."

"One year later, when the conditions are ripe, it can be promoted nationwide."

"First the county, then the county. Then the township, pavilion, and li."

"It must be done step by step and not rushed."

"At the most three to five years, thousands of households in Daqin will surely enjoy the convenience of water conservancy."

As soon as the words fell, Fusu applauded excitedly.

"Sir, the way of governing the country is rarely matched by others."

"Fu Su really didn't miss him."

Meng Yi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the prince-to-be praised others.

One emperor and one courtier.

Ever since he learned that Fusu was going to be established as the crown prince, he had his eye on Li Si's position as prime minister.

But why does it sound like something is wrong?

Chen Qing is a widow, and he was born as a criminal in rebellion. How can he be the prime minister?

Although Ying Shiman was a bit reluctant, she still bowed convincingly, "Shiman has been taught."

Chen Qing smiled brightly: "Princess, you don't have to be polite, it's just a trivial matter."

Fusu shook his head: "Mr. is so talented, yet humble."

"You all have to study hard, do you hear me?"

Jiang Lu, Bo Jian, and Ying Zhe replied sullenly: "Got it."

Fu Su thought about it for a second, the private tutors in the palace were much worse than Chen Qing.

It would be great if he could stay in the palace and ask for advice from time to time.

However, Yingzheng's consent had to be obtained for this matter, and he dared not make his own claims.

Meng Yi sighed and said: "Tomorrow, I will explain this matter to His Majesty according to what Chen Zhonghou said."

Seeing that it was getting late, Fusu took the initiative to say goodbye.

"Mr. Chen."

Ying Shiman walked at the end, and after hesitating for a long time, she suddenly turned around.

"I offended you for disturbing Mr. last time."

"A small gift, let me express my apologies."

She blushed slightly, and took out the exquisite brocade handkerchief.

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your kindness."

"In fact, Chen was not disturbed, the princess must not take it to heart."

Saying so, he lightly pulled the brocade handkerchief out of Ying Shiman's hand.

The little girl grabbed quite hard, it seems that she must be struggling in her heart.

"With this talent, please ask Chen Zhonghou to think more about major issues for the country and the people, and stop using your brains."

Ying Shiman snorted in shame, turned around like a light deer, and galloped away.

"hey-hey."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Qing stared at the brocade handkerchief exuding a faint fragrance in his hand, the corners of his mouth almost went to the back of his head.

Although my brother doesn't have a golden finger, we are still not afraid!

What do you rely on to walk the rivers and lakes? It's talent!

Chapter 36 Today I'm Forced to Pretend

at dusk.

Smoke billows from a mansion on the west side of Xianyang Palace.

The craftsmen of the copper and iron shop gathered in threes, fives, sevens, eights, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.

"Mother, you must put away your things, and don't let outsiders see them."

The three members of Li Yi's family closed the door tightly and whispered together.

"Son, if the emperor finds out about this, he will be beheaded!"

There was a heavy bronze lump in the bag on the table, probably weighing more than a catty.

Even though it was tightly wrapped with rotten hemp sheets, it seemed to be clearly presented in the eyes of the three of them.

That's a lot of money.

"Li Lang, why don't you go back."

"Since you brought this thing back, I haven't slept all day."

"Several times I dreamed that the officers and soldiers broke in with open fire and wanted us to be thrown into prison again."

Li Yi's married wife was about to cry, her eyes were already red.

"Women's view!"

Li Yi couldn't help but said angrily: "I will make a great contribution to the emperor by building that waterwheel. This thing is not stolen, it is the waste that I knocked down."

"If it belonged to my boss, I would definitely not move a single cent."

"But this is the Emperor's..."

"Take it as a reward for our family, don't worry about it"

But the old woman was still worried: "Isn't everyone outside saying that we can go home after the waterwheel is built? At this juncture, it's better to avoid troubles."

Li Yi waved his hand impatiently: "Mother, I don't want to go back now even if I think about it."

He lowered his voice: "My boss turned a blind eye, the big guy has more or less found something of copper and iron."

"hey-hey."

Li Yi grinned: "We have traveled thousands of miles from Dai County to Xianyang, if we leave empty-handed, then we have come here for nothing?"

The two gears used in the hydraulic mill on the banks of the Weishui River add up to three or four hundred catties.

After casting, all the leftovers from beating the corners of the next piece have a few weights.

Li Yi was still a small leader, and he shared a lot with other craftsmen, which was worth their usual annual income.

The old woman scolded, "You're used to saying those weird things! If you hadn't been born as a cruel animal, Xiao'e and I would still have to worry about it with you. We almost lost our lives."

Li Yi said guiltily, "Mother, we are safe and sound."

Suddenly, there was a soft drink from outside.

"The Marquis Zuozhong of the Young Master's Mansion arrived—"

All of a sudden, there was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping in the yard.

Li Yi's mother and wife turned pale and trembled all over.

"Li Lang, did the government come here?"

"You bastard! I told you not to do that stealthy business, what should I do now! What should I do!"

The two women cried and cried, and suddenly felt a sense of imminent disaster.

Li Yi was also in a panic. He forced himself to calm down and ordered: "Hide your things first, and don't come out until I ask you."

After speaking, he hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

People in the courtyard had already fallen to their knees.

Li Yi didn't dare to raise his head, so he quickly found a corner and quickly knelt down on the ground.

I don't know who started it, and shouted: "See Master Zuo Zhonghou."

Li Yi imitated the example, followed suit and shouted: "See Lord Zuo Zhonghou."

Chen Qing looked at this group of old acquaintances playfully, and the smile on his mouth could not be stopped.

Ever since he entered the door, no one dared to look up at him.

It's better to be an official!

When he was their boss in the past, the craftsmen at most respected him a little bit, but they never had such a respectful attitude.

"Cough cough."

"Excuse me."

Chen Qing held his hands behind his back and said something leisurely.

Li Yi suddenly felt that Zuo Zhonghou's voice sounded familiar.

Like who?

Like the owner!

But he immediately dismissed this idea in the next second.

Although I don't know what kind of official Zuozhonghou will be, but he is both a "fu" and a "hou", so he should be an important member of the imperial court.

"My boss?!"

Suddenly someone took a sneak peek at it boldly, and immediately shouted out in astonishment.

"Master!"

"It's really the owner!"

"Boss, why..."
